distinction of sex or of political or religious opinions or of racial ethnic or national origins.
The promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit by advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity.
The priority has been fund raising, with the primary objective to raise enough funds to secure suitable premises including building and facilities to enable the trust to carry out its main Iong term objectives, as outlined above.
The Trust purchased (in 2007) a plot of land (approx. 0.5acres) on which a purpose-built mosque will be constructed. This land was purchased mainly through interest free loans and some donations.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Initially the main activities of the Trust focussed on fund raising so that the interest free loans can be repaid and that Planning Permission can be procured for the new mosque. Planning permission was granted by Derby City Council to build a mosque on this land. Some construction and earthworks have been carried out to date.
In late 2015 the Christadelphian Hall building which is located adjacent to this plot of land came up for sale and the Trust bought it. Since then, Trust activities have focussed on refitting and renovating this building to make it suitable as an interim mosque, whilst the project for the original mosque is temporarily stalled. This prayer hall came into operation in May 2017 with the commencement of several services. We have been holding congregational prayers as well as holding various programmes and religious services. The children’s’ evening classes have also been running.
The refit of the building is now complete, barring some minor works. Fund raising activities have continued to repay as much of interest free loans off as possible.

Section D Achievements and performance
The refit and renovation of the Christadelphian Hall has been completed. Summary of the main A number of charitable activities are taking place. achievements of the charity during the year
This has been a disrupted year, with the mosque being closed or partially closed at times during the year because of COVID-19. A lot of the effort has been expended on H&S issues around this, and some funds have also been spent on managing this.
The fund-raising effort has continued on all fronts, and we are making gradual progress. This is so that the interest free loans are reduced, and the running cost of the mosque are achieved. The Board of Trustees (along with the Management Committee), are continuing working very hard on these fronts.
Section E Financial review
The debt with respect to interest free loans has continued to decrease, Brief statement of the and we expect this to be reduced at a much greater rate in the future charity’s policy on reserves because of less expenditure anticipated on renovations. The Trust should endeavour to collect further funds to repay the outstanding interest-free Ioans, and secure more funds to produce detailed plans and to construct the new mosque. As at 31/03/21 There was £326,580 outstanding interest-free loans still to be repaid. This has decreased from last year from £349,480. The Board of Trustees and Management Committee continue to pursue vigorously various avenues for raising funds which includes seeking donations from the community, charitable trusts, local businesses.
