Furtherance of religion and other purposes anywhere in the world which are charitable according to the laws of England and Wales.
Our objectives
Our objectives are set to reflect our aims. Each year the trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims.
The Trustees have paid due regard to public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Strategies
The charity assists others within the UK and worldwide for the relief of need and financial hardship and those who have insufficient resources to cover their basic needs for shelter, food, clothing or who are destitute with no means of support.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities, Cash flow Statement and related notes show the sources of income and how the income has been applied during the year. Donations relating to the Salaam Centre project have fallen compared to 2024, leading to an overall fall in donations and fall in overall net income on last year. Restricted funds have seen an overall increase due to Salaam Centre donations during the year exceeding the related restricted expenditure during the year. The balance of restricted funds at the end of the year will be expended in a future year in accordance with the various wishes of the donors. As last year, there was a small increase in the value of the investment property held by the Charity.
The total net movement in funds for the year was an increase of £733,752 (2024: £1,756,838). Total funds at 31 July 2025 stand at £16,980,827 (2024: £16,247,075) of which £1,378,866 (2024: £947,652) are restricted funds and £15,601,961 (2024: £15,299,423) are unrestricted funds. A breakdown of restricted funds is contained in the notes. The Trustees are pleased with the results for the year and consider the statement of position of the charity's affairs to be satisfactory.
Grants Policy
We are committed to working in partnership with other UK Charities through a grant-making approach. Grants to partner organisations are made within our agreed strategies. Project proposals are subject to formal approval process before individual grants are approved. All projects are systematically monitored for the duration of their existence.
Fundraising
Fundraising by way of Standing Orders, one-off donations from within the community and other supporters continue, as well as Organisations. The Foundation also raises funds publicly, through our website and sponsoring events, utilising opportunities to promote The Salaam Centre where possible. There were no complaints in the year towards the fundraising strategies. The Foundation adheres to the fundraising regulatory codes.
All our fundraising is carried out by our trustees who have approached people in the community and known to them. Appeals are only made to known supporters and with the consent to keep the donors updated. Our services and other programmes are broadcast live, by video stream, to maintain the continuity and contact with the wider public.
Reserves policy
Currently the charity is undergoing a major capital build project, and all funds are raised towards the build. It is felt that there is no reason to maintain any free reserves especially as the standing order donations cover any costs that are not related to the construction – the current free reserves are negligible.
Once the construction is completed, the trustees will aim to keep 12 months operational costs of this Centre in free reserves. The value of the free reserves over the next 12 months is expected to be £20,000 per month compared to operational costs of £15,000 per month over next 12 months.
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the risk the charity faces and have drawn up a risk matrix which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks happening, and the measures taken to manage them. The trustees review this risk matrix regularly 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.
The key risks identified by the trustees are as follows:
Risk
A delay in finishing the construction of the Salaam centre. Mitigation
The trustees constantly monitor finances to ensure that the charity does not over commit. Risk
Interest rate increase that may impact the charity in the future.
Mitigation
Constant monitor of cash flow projections with fixed interest borrowing to ensure all repayments are managed well. Risk
Increase in cost of materials for construction.
Mitigation
Fixed fee contracts are entered into at inception of each phase with known costs.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
BW Foundation is registered in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee, number 06324340 and Registered charity number 1121549. It is governed by the Charity' s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Organisation structure
We operate an incorporated charity ("BW Foundation") registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales and with Companies House. The charity has one wholly owned subsidiary, BWF Development Company Limited, which carries out the development of the Salaam Centre. Three of the Trustees of the charity also serve as directors of BWF Development Co Limited.
None of the Trustees or Directors or any related party receive any remuneration for the services provided.
The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mr. M Versi Mr. M Walji Dr. N Merali (resigned 3 November 2025) Mrs. M Manji(resigned 3 November 2025) Dr. M Asaria (resigned 3 November 2025) Mr. R Esmail (resigned 5 November 2024) Dr. Z Sikafi (appointed 2 November 2025) Mrs. M Asaria (appointed 2 November 2025) Mr. M Manji (appointed 2 November 2025)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The trustees are elected in accordance with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles at the Annual General meeting of the Charity. At an Annual General Meeting the members accept the retirement of those trustees who wish to retire or who are retiring by rotation and elect trustees to fill the vacancies arising. The members of the charity are the existing trustees and the Councillors of the Shi’a Ithna Ashary Community of Middlesex.
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organised by the Charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees' meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities and if all agree, they are then proposed as new trustees at the subsequent annual general meeting of the Charity. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.
Induction and training of trustees
The trustees receive information about their role and responsibilities from a range of sources, including the Charity Commission and professional advisers to the Charity. Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the constitution and a guide to policies and procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefits and on advancement of religion for the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially, new trustees work with existing trustees assisting on particular activities and projects run by the charity. After satisfactory feedback from the existing trustees, they are then given the task of leading a particular activity or project, reporting progress at the trustees' meetings.
Volunteers
It has been another extraordinary year for volunteers. We continue to be heartened by the resilience of our volunteers, adapting to new challenges and embracing new ways of working to support our work. In response, we provide regular guidance to enable safe volunteering, as well as resources and training.
Future plans
In addition to the aims and objectives above, the Charity has these activities planned over the forthcoming year:
Continuing the construction of the Salaam Centre to accommodate the growing number of participants who attend the community centre.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees, who are also the directors of B W Foundation for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law and the law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principle in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material 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 adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the financial and other information included on the Charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Disclosure of information to auditor
Each of the charity Trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken all the necessary steps they ought to have taken as charity Trustees in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The Trustees' annual report was approved and signed on behalf of the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF B W Foundation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of BW Foundation (the 'Charity') and its group for the year ended 31 July 2025 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, consolidated statement of financial position, company statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and charity's affairs as at 31 July 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the year then ended; and
-
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity and group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standards, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purpose of the company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF B W Foundation
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and Charity and their environment obtained during the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Trustees' We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion;
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption in preparing the Trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. ln preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity and the group through discussions with management and from our knowledge and experience of the sector and activities of the charity; and
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Charities Act 2011; and
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified through making enquiries of management and inspecting documentation; and
-
we identified laws and regulations which were communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatements including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

B W FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF B W Foundation
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls we performed the following procedures:
-
we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; and
-
we assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and
-
we investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to, agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and remaining alert for actual and potential litigation and claims during our other audit procedures. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify noncompliance with laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
BW Foundation ("the Charity") is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales (company number 063234340) and a charity registered in England and Wales (charity number 1121549).
The Charity’s registered office address is: 336 Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 4LB.
1.1 Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS102") and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). This a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties at fair value.
The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company together with all subsidiaries disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. All financial statements are for the same reporting period. All intra-group transactions, balances and all gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. A separate Statement of Financial Activities of the parent company is not presented. A summary of the results for the year of the Charity is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
1.3 Going concern
The Trustees have assessed the charity's funding requirements for the foreseeable future and are confident that sufficient funds will be available to enable operations to continue at a sustainable level for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Charity continues to maintain its regular standing order receipt donations and other small donations for the day-to-day running of operations. No matters that might cause doubts relating to the charity’s existence in perpetuity have been identified. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue activities that forward the charitable objects. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Charity’s financial statements.
1.4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Significant judgements and key accounting estimates made by the Trustees include the fair value of investment property and the estimated useful economic life of tangible fixed assets, which is reflected in the depreciation rates applied. Judgements and assumptions regarding the ageing of concessionary loans reflect third-party intentions to present a true and fair view of the position at the reporting date and the timing of subsequent repayments may differ.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.5 Income
- Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Gift Aid recoverable is recognised at the time of the related donation to the extent that it is subsequently able to be recovered. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation.
1.6 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Governance costs are included within support cots and include costs relating to strategic planning for its future development, auditors' remuneration, certain legal costs and all costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as costs of Board meetings and of preparing the statutory accounts.
Where support costs cannot be directly attributable to specific charitable activities they have been allocated between charitable activities in line with the total direct expenditure on each activity.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold property Straight line over 25 years Plant and equipment 25% straight line
Freehold land and assets in the course of construction are not depreciated. Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated until the work is fully completed.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of tangible assets, including Burial land, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Investment properties
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured using the fair value model and stated at its fair value as at the reporting end date. The net gain or loss on revaluation is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.9 Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. The tax payable by subsidiaries of the charity is recognised as part of the support costs of the group for the year.
1.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.1 1 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s statement of financial position when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic Financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Concessionary loans
Concessionary loans are those loans made or received by a charity to further its purposes and any interest charged is below the prevailing market rate. Concessionary loans are not made to achieve a financial return and therefore are not discounted at a market rate of interest. Concessionary loans repayable on demand or within one year are measured at the carrying amount of the loan. Where the period of a loan repayable within one year has subsequently been extended this is treated as an adjusting event for the purpose of ageing and the loan is classified as payable after more than one year. Concessionary loans repayable after more than one year are initially recognised and measured at the amount received and adjusted to reflect any loan repayments.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for specific purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation and analysis of restricted funds is included in the notes to the financial statements.
