The Trust purchased (in 20071 a plot of land (approx. O.Sacres) on which a purpose-built mosque will be constructed. This land was purchased mainly through interest free loans and somè 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 havo had rogard to the guidance issued by Ihe Charity Commission on public benefit) Initially the main activities of the Trust focLJssed 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 conslruclion 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 i holding congregational prayers as well as holding various programmes and religious services. The children's, evening classes have also been running. The refrt of the building is now complete, barring some minor works.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year With COVID receding normally activities normal activities at the mosque have gradually resumed. Raising funds during COVID was challenging as has getting the momentum back. The fund-raising effort has continued on all fronts, and we are making gradual progress. This is so Ihat Ihe interest free loans are reduced, and the running cost of the mosque are achieved. The Board of Trustees (along with the Management Committee), are continuin workin ve hard on Ihese fronts. Section E Financial review The debl with respect to interest free loans has continued to decrease, and we expect this to be reduced at a much greater rate in Ihe future because of less expenditure anticipated on renovations.
