We also continued to hold and distribute a wide stock of free leaflets and other literature, including translations of the Quran (Islamic holy book), and Demystifying Islam display boards and posters. _**Offering agencies insight into Bristol Muslim communities, and voicing their needs and**_ _**concerns.**_ We remained actively involved with various agencies (e.g., Avon & Somerset Constabulary Independent Advisory Group, SARI lead Tackling Islamophobia Working Group, and Bristol’s Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education, and Building the Bridge) and engaged with local councillors and Members of Parliament. We also help researchers on a number of topics. _**Providing information and balance in local and national media.**_ We communicated (e.g. giving interviews) on various issues on behalf of Muslim communities in Bristol. _**Keeping the community informed and reaching out to more people.**_ We continued to produce regular email bulletins (sent to approximately 1000 contacts), aiming to keep the community informed of urgent matters, available opportunities (e.g. New Muslim Cemetery development) and services (e.g. Reporting Islamophobia services), as well as religious schedules (e.g. Eid Prayer times), community news (e.g. funerals – at the request of family) and special events. In addition, our website (www.bmcs.org.uk) and social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter) aim to reach a wider audience. In addition, we aimed to reach a ~ 4 ~ **BRISTOL MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** ## **YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022** wider audience, especially for our bigger events (e.g. the Islamic Cultural Fayre), through leaflets and posters (at local shops). ## _**Demystifying Islam through Mosque tours, school talks and cultural awareness training.**_ Our mosque tours, school talks and cultural awareness training programmes aim to demystify Islam, break down misconceptions and prejudice, and offer insight in to Muslim lives and communities. In addition to this, we have recruited 4 cultural awareness officers as part of our BMCS team. Due to Lockdown 1 however, cultural awareness workshops got cancelled or postponed and whilst schools have been trying to find their way through COVID-19 policies, things have been very slow since then. We have created a digital promotional brochure which we have shared with educational institutions and the few bookings we have received are online and being delivered by our cultural awareness officers. _**Offering chaplaincy services.**_ Our Cultural Awareness officer continued as a Muslim Chaplain to the University of Bristol, and South Gloucestershire and Stroud College (e.g. to help students during difficult times). _**Supporting New-Muslims and people interested in Islam.**_ New-Muslims can face many difficulties and hardships. We continued to offer support to New-Muslims and those interested in becoming Muslim, through befriending, practical resources and literature. In addition, we continued to offer Shahadah (testimony taken when becoming Muslim) certificates, which are important for new-Muslims as they ease matters relating to Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) and funeral arrangements etc. _**Community Iftar Project (Community Cohesion during Ramadan).**_ We hosted our first in-person community iftars this year since before the covid-19 pandemic. It was great to finally have the iftars in-person and the fact that a few other schools in Bristol hosted their own community iftars was an added bonus. The Annual Community Iftar Evening was in its 6th year of running at Bristol Cathedral Choir School and the invitation was extended to the other schools within the Cathedral Schools Trust. The theme of the evening was on charity and social responsibility in Islam, we heard from local Muslim charity organisations and volunteers about this. Also, the sponsored fast was back yet again with us raising £400.00 for the food banks in Bristol. ~ 5 ~ **BRISTOL MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** ## **YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022** _**Cycling Sisters.**_ We're thrilled to report that Cycling Sisters has had a fantastic year! Our team has successfully taught approximately 45 women to cycle with over 60 women signing up for our courses, allowing us to build a fantastic network of confident women ready to participate in a variety of activities. We've been involved in even more outreach efforts, such as our participation in the cardiovascular event held at Gloucester Cricket Ground, and our soon-to-be appearance at an International Women’s Day Event. In addition to organising an incredible series of group rides to help get women out and about. We've also worked with other charity organisations, such as Let's Walk Bristol, which organised a Nordic Walking Taster session and have developed important relationships with other cycling organisations such as Life Cycle and Bristol Bike Project. We were also fortunate to receive mechanics training from them, resulting in four Level 1 Trained Mechanics among the sisters and more who have completed the Beginners mechanics courses. We were fortunate to receive funding from Travel West on two funding bids, one for our sessions and the other for our group rides. This strengthened our ties with Bristol City Council, as well as our ongoing efforts to work with well-known cycling circles Within the city of Bristol. _**Bristol’s Big Eid Salah.**_ Following the Sunnah (tradition) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) of praying Eid salah outdoors, the BMCS Events Team successfully hosted community prayers for Eid al-Fitr (after Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (during Hajj season) in Bristol. We were privileged to have our prayers at both the Gloucestershire County Cricket Club’s Seat Unique Stadium and SGS College’s Filton campus with over 1,000+ people in attendance. It was great to revive one of the forgotten sunnahs of our Prophet and to bring these events back especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Trustees have complied with their duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regards to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. ~ 6 ~ **BRISTOL MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** ## **YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022** ## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and: - Select suitable accounting policies - Make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - State whether applicable standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to and departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law, regulations and trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (revised 2005). |_Registered Office_|_Signed by order of the trustees_| |---|---| |Easton Business Centre|| |Felix Road|................................................| |Bristol|Rizwan Ahmed| |BS5 0HE|5th March 2023| ~ 7 ~ ## **BRISTOL MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY** ## **ACCOUNTS** **Year ended 31[ST] March 2022** Charity Number 1121092 Company Registration Number 04495887 ## **BRISTOL MUSLIM CULTURAL SOCIETY** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (Including Income and Expenditure Account)** ## **YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** |**Note**

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ |**Signed:**
