Trustees' Report For The Financial Year Ended 05 Apr 2026

c. Public Benefit

In accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011, the trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit in exercising their powers and duties, and in particular in reviewing the charity's aims and determining its activities for the year under review.

The trustees are satisfied that the activities undertaken during the year — comprising the provision of religious, recreational and social facilities, the provision of food to those in need, the delivery of Ramadan and Muharram programmes, and the relief of poverty — were carried out in furtherance of the charity's objects and provided demonstrable public benefit to the communities served, including the Shia community, persons with disabilities, and the wider inhabitants of the area of benefit, without distinction as to sex, political affiliation, religion or other belief.

d. Achievements and Performance

During the year, the charity continued to deliver against its charitable objects through its regular programme of religious, recreational and social activities, including the Ramadan and Muharram programmes and the ongoing provision of food to those in need. The charity also undertook capital improvements to its premises during the year, including the addition of a funeral room facility to serve the community.

e. Reserves Policy

At the year end, the charity held total funds of £348,070 of which £331,193 was represented by fixed assets (comprising freehold property, fixtures and fittings, computer equipment and the funeral room), leaving free reserves of approximately £16,877 held in cash and current assets.

The trustees consider this level of free reserves to be appropriate to meet the charity's short-term working capital requirements, while the substantial majority of the charity's assets remain committed to the premises from which its charitable activities are delivered.

Principal funding

Most of the funds are raised through voluntary donations from within the local community.
