Trustees Annual Report and Statement Of Financial Activities for the year ended 31st
March 2024
The trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31st March 2024 and confirm that it complies with
the Charities Act 2011 and the trust deed.
Structure• governance and management
Governing document
Ashton Central Mosque Charitsble Trust is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity
Commission. It was first registered as the Markazi Jamia Mosque Charitable Trust in October 2007 under
charity number 1121224 and was renamed in May 2013. It is governed by a deed of trust last updated in June
2019.
Organisational structure
The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity- The trustees give
their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.
The trustee5 are required to meet together as a body at least twice a year and are responsible for all decisions
taken in relation to the day to day running of the Mosque. the community facilities and the activities provided
by the charity. In practice, they meet more often than thaL To assist them with the day-to-day management
and fundraising tssks for the mosque and the community facilities that it provides, the trustees estsblished a
Working Group which is comprised of all the Trustees plus a number of other volunteers who have specific
skills and expertise. Responsibility for the day-to-day activities at the Mosque is delegated to various members
of staff Ilmams. teachers and the care-tskerl.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Unfortunately two of our Trustee5 passed away during the previous financial year, namely, Mohammed
Suleman Mirza and Mohamed Siddique. Two new Trustees were selected during this financial year, namely
Saeed Mirza and Saied Nawaz who were already members of the WorkingGroup. The existing trustees are
responsible for the recruitment of new trustees as laid down in the Trust Deed.
Of paramount importance isthat any newfuture trustees should have a good command of the English
language, be people of integrity and the existing trustees should feel comfortsble about working wth them. In
selecting new trustees. due consideration is given to the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist
knowledge and skills. It would also be desirable that any new trustees should be regular attendees at events
and functions organised by the charity and would have to be V￿llIng to volunteer to help in our broader
communlty work. The trustses believe that this approach will ensure thatthe work of the Mosque can
progress smoothty.
Induction and trainlng of trustees
Following appointment, new trustees would be introduced to their new role and given copies of the trust deed
as a guide to the objects, aims, policies and procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications from
the Charity Commission would also be provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on
the advancement of religion for the public benefit This would be to ensure that new trustees were aware of
the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act Any new legislation or regulatory requirements are
addressed as and when they arise.
Risk management
The trustees and Working Group have assessed the risks the charity faces and have drawn up a risk register
which identifies the major risks by area of activity. the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks
happening and the mea5urestsken to manage and/or contain them. The trustees and Working Group review
this risk register at their meetings. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in
hand, to manage the risks that have been identified. In particular, insurance cover is in place and the finances
of the Mosque are kept under review. Appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service IDBSI previously Criminal

Strategies
The goal is to make the Mosque an accessible and welcoming venue where all Muslims. or those who wish to
know more about our faith. can gather together to learn about Islam and worship. We also provide exclusive
facilities for women who wish to pray at the Mosque. This was a key design objective when we developed the
design of our new Mosque which was completed in July 2012. The Mosque is open for all prayer times everv
day of the week. The Friday midday prayer session is the primary service of the week.
We host Visits from various schools on a regular basis to help children get a better understsnding of151am.
Islamic traditions and the Islamic way of life.
An important part of our faith is charitable giving according to one's wealth, in accordanee with Islam and we
are pleased to receive Zakat for the sole purpose of the relief of need and financial hardship of Muslims in
Pakistsn.
An importsnt part of our strategy is community welfare and education. All our community facilities and
activities including religious classes. health initiatives and seminars are advertised and we welcome the
participation of all in our local community, Muslim and non-muslim alike. Most of our activities are free and
are supported by donations. Where a charge is made for children's religious classe5. every effort is made to
keep the fees charged to a minimum.
Use of volunteers
Volunteers are an important resourte in both our faith and community v4ork.
Volunteers are involved in most of our faith and community activities and we have over 25 people (including
all our trustees) regularly giving their time. We encourage all members of our Mosque to be involved in
voluntary activities and to share their skills wth others.

Grant-making policy
Those attending our Mosque have given generously to disaster appeals arising from natural calamities
affecting various countries around the world. The Mosque has given money to welfare charities specialising in
providing health care and educab.onal services for the poor in Pakistan. This year, as we did last year. we
administered the receipt and remittance of £7939.00 Fitrana, which is collected and sent to the Edhi
Foundation in the UK for use in Pakistan to provide health care and education for the poor. According to
Islamic laws, Fitrana funds cannot be used for the provision of the sorts of facilities that our charity provides
and so there is no detriment to the charity as a result of these remittances.
Activities and achievements
How our activities deliver public benefit
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that
these activities. summarised below. provide benefit both to those who worship at our Mosque and the wider
community.
Religious activities
Our Mosque provides a centre for our prayers and worship and for the activities associated with our faith.
During the year under review, we offered a range of religious services and activitses including:
Prayers.. The Mosque is open every dayfor daily and Friday prayers. During the week we hove around 60
people who regularly attend daily prayers and over 500 who regularly attend Friday prayers. During
Ramadhan, the numbersfor most prayer sessions more than double and daily evening prayers are attended by
betsveen 400 and 500 men and women every night.
Ramadhan.. During the rrK*nth of Ramadan. the Mosque is the focus of Islamic life and our facilities are open
for anyone wishing to pray and for quiet contemplation. For those who wish to break their fast at the end of
the day with fellow Muslims, then food is served at the Mosque. Facilities are available for those members
who wish to observe Itikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadhan Iltikaaf is a spiritual retreat in the mosque l.
A person "performing itikaaff will spend those last ten days of Ramadhan in the m05que, devoting his or her
time to worship and reading the Qur'an. In general, due to the nature of their family commitments and hence
in accordance with Islamic guidance, women who ￿5h to perform Itikaaf tend to do so in their homes butcan
perform itikaaf in a Mosque (where suitsble privacy is available for them).
Islarnic Fe5tival5'.
Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha festivals are celebrated at the Mosque with 2 services each in order to cope with
the numbers of people attending and to alleviate parking problems. We also celebrate other key events in the
Muslim calendar, especially Eid Milad-un-Nabi to celebrate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon him, to whom the Qur'an was revealed. We also hold weekly Qur'an recitstion and
understanding sessions on Thursday evenings and a monthly thanksgiving service.

Islam. We also provide facilities for conducting remembrance services.

March 2024
Qur'an dasses- We continue to provide facilities for teaching the Qur'an to children in after school classes, six
days a week. These classes are attended by approximately 230 children. split into eight boys. classes and eight
girls. classes.
Separate weekly Islamic Studies classes are held and intlude a reading of the Qurfan and discussion of the key
messages.
Intra and Inter faith dlalogue.. Our Mosque is one of the original members of the Tameside Forum of Mosques
which was estsblished with support from the local authority in order to look at strategies for preventing the
radicalisation of Muslims as well as to provide a forum for co-operation betrleen the various Mosques in
Tameside.
We also liaise with the Faiths United inter-faith group in Tameside to help to promote inter-faith dialo8ue and
social cohesion.
Zakat.. Ir is a part of our faith that all who are able to should offer ZakaL Zakat is collected in proportion to a
person's wealth. in accordance with the teachings of Islam, and is the giving of money for a number of specific
purposes, including to help others, and to further the teachings of Islam. A Muslim need not give Zakat
through the Mosque but we do provide the opportunityfor those attending the Mosque to give Zakat and we
arrange its remittance to the Edhi Foundation in Pakistan. None of the Zakat money is used to fund the
Mosque. The Mosque makes no charge for the collection and distribution of Zakat
Community activities
Food Bank.. Since July 2014 Ashton Central Mosque established a food bank and has actively encouraged iY5
congregants to regularly donate non-perishable foodstuffs and groceries in order to help disadvantaged
members of the local community who are having difFiculty in making ends meet. Giving and caring for the poor
and disadvantsged is a fundamental aspect oflslam and an obligation for every Muslim. These collections have
enabled the Mosque to make monthly donations of food to the Tameside East Food bank from where the food
is distributed to the needy residents of Tameside of all faiths. In August 2023 Ashton Central Mosque decided
to become a Foodbank Centre and stsrted tr) distribute food on a weekly basis from its premises. Up to the
end of March 2024 Ashton Central Mosque distributed food parcels to 610 families in 7 months.
School Visits: Ashton Central Mosque has hosted school visits for over 15 years. The feedback we constsntly
receive from teachers and students is that such visits are extremely helpful in assisting students to learn about
Islam. Since moving to our new premises we have hosted in excess of 300 such visits- many of which are
repeat visits by the same schools with different pupils.
Ashton Central Mosque also hosts bespoke seminars which are designed to
give a flavour of Islam.
to dispel common myths.
to give an opportunity to people who may not have attended a mosque before and
give an opportunity for any questions to be asked.

Financial review
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their aim is to hold enough funds to meet 6 months,
operating costs ofthe Mosque. excludingthe collection and distribution o*Zakat, and of our community
activities.
In calculating the charity's reserves the trustees have deducted from the totsl of unrestricted funds of the
harity the value of the Mosque and other tangible fixed assets as shown in the accounts and the designated
fund. This leaves sufficient re5erve5 to achieve the aim of covering at least 6 months expenditure during the
year ended 3151 March 2024.
Principal funding sources
The charity's main source of income is donations from members ofthe congregation, Madrasah fees and
rental income stream from the lease of the former Lowesjoinery and from the rentsl of six residential
properties.
Investment policy and objectives
Currently, the charity has investrnents in 6 residential dwellings and I commercial property adjacent to the
Mosque. All of these properties are rented outto augment the charivs income stream. Our cash reserves are
held in current accounts as we do not believe in accepting interest payments. However, it is the Trustees,
intention in the next financial year to invest any 5urplu5 re5er¥es in more residential property close to the
Mosque with a view to increasing the charitrfs rentsl income stream and to ensure thatthe charl￿$ capitsl is
not eroded by inflation.
Plans for future periods
The previous Mosque buildings were in the path of a new 8y-Pas5 which was completed in January 2012 and as
a resul¢ the chartty entered into an agreement with Tameside Metropolitsn Borough Council for the
relocation of the Mosque and Community Centre to an alternative site about 250 metres away. This relocation
was an opportunity to have a purpose-built Mosque and Community Centre with improved facilities and has
enabled the charity to deliver better services to the Mosque's congregation as well as to the wider community.
We intend to maintain our existing range of community activttres working in partnership with the community
and to further develop our community projects in collaboration with Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council
and other local agencies. We continue to place great importsnte on sharing a good understsnding of Islarn
with our non-muslim neighbours whilst gaining an understsnding of their culture and traditions.
