All praise is due to Allah (SWT), who has blessed us with another year of service to our community.

It is our sincere hope that these pages reflect our ongoing commitment to serving the Ummah and the broader community with integrity, transparency, and dedication to Islamic principles.

Response to the Southport Tragedy and Countering Hate:

• Following the tragic Southport incident (31st July 2024), we engaged with community leaders. We condemned violence fuelled by misinformation and hate, highlighting the need for social media responsibility. Despite attempts to divide, Southport’s community showed resilience and unity. We pray for comfort, justice, and national cohesion.

• We also engaged with many community, civil, and faith leaders within the Cambridgeshire community following the Southport Tragedy on 31st July 2024. As a nation, we were deeply shocked and saddened by the murders of the young girls and the injuries sustained by others. This horrific incident united us in collective grief. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and all those affected, and we send our heartfelt love and support.

• Tragically, some exploited this incident to spread hatred and incite violence, further traumatizing a grieving community. We witnessed violent, disruptive behaviour on Southport’s streets—actions that contradict British values. Fuelled by rumours, speculation, and misinformation aimed at stoking Islamophobia, this violence highlighted the danger of unchecked “fake news” on social media. Certain alternative media and political figures contributed to the spread of misinformation, exacerbating tensions.

• In these challenging times, we must exercise greater social responsibility in what we share online, recognizing that some individuals are more susceptible to negative influences. Social media companies must also take a more active role in preventing the spread of racist, hateful material. The Southport violence is a wake-up call about the perils of misinformation and hate-filled rhetoric.

• Despite attempts to create division, Southport’s people showed remarkable community spirit, demonstrating that hope can overcome hate. They remind us of the importance of unity and working together to ensure that hope triumphs over hate. We pray for ease, comfort, and justice for those affected, and for Allah (SWT) to keep our hearts united in hope, not divided by hate.

Intercultural Representation in Rome (November 2024):

• In November, this year, the Cambridge Muslim Trust also participated in a profound demonstration of unity, intercultural dialogue, and moral purpose through our representative, Abdul-Kayum Arain, joined the Order of St. George the Martyr on a historic visit to Rome, carrying goodwill messages from Cambridge’s civic and faith leaders to Pope Francis.

Carrying Cambridge’s Voice and Values to the Vatican:

• Abdul-Kayum Arain, a respected leader within our Muslim community, journeyed to Rome as part of the Order’s delegation. He uniquely carried personal messages on behalf of Cambridge’s civic and faith leaders—including letters from our Member of Parliament Daniel Zeichner; Mayor Baiju Thittala Varkey; City Council Leader Mike Davey; and faith-based institutions such as the Cambridge Muslim Trust, the Cambridge Mosque Council, and the Cambridge Central Mosque. Presented directly to His Holiness Pope Francis, these communications underscored our city’s and our Trust’s unwavering commitment to compassion, justice, and cooperation on pressing global challenges.

Shared Mission with the Order of St. George:

• The Order of St. George the Martyr has a centuries-old tradition of service and charitable work. Their journey to Rome, highlighted by an audience with Pope Francis, illustrated how people of diverse faiths and traditions—Muslims, Christians, Jews, and beyond—can unite around a moral responsibility to uplift the vulnerable, safeguard the planet, and seek reconciliation in times of conflict.

• From a Muslim perspective, this interfaith and intercultural encounter demonstrates that faith communities can stand together, leading on issues of poverty, climate change, and peacebuilding. Meetings with Chris Trott His Majesty’s Ambassador to the Holy See and a reception at the Italian Senate hosted by Senatrice Gisella Naturale showed how faith-inspired values can shape compassionate policies, strengthen cultural bonds, and guide international relations toward greater justice and harmony.

Reflections at Rome’s Historic Institutions:

• Visits to the Venerable English College, Rome’s Jewish Quarter, and the Grand Mosque of Rome reinforced these lessons. At the College, centuries of English Catholic heritage resonated with our pursuit of knowledge and moral integrity. In the Jewish Quarter, recalling Holocaust victims reminded us that remembering and rejecting hatred transcends religious lines. At the Grand Mosque of Rome—

championed by Pope John Paul II for Catholic-Muslim unity—our representative discussed the universal aspirations of mercy, peace, and understanding.

Inspiration and Action for Cambridge:

• Upon returning to Cambridge, Abdul-Kayum brought home renewed purpose. Just as the Vatican audience and Rome’s engagements showcased global faith cooperation, so can we foster intercultural dialogue, environmental stewardship, and humanitarian relief locally. Our continued work with local organizations—faith-based and secular—will translate these insights into community forums, educational workshops, and intercultural dialogues, addressing pressing social, moral, and environmental challenges and supporting projects tackling the root causes of social injustice.

A Call to Compassion and Cooperation:

• The Rome experience serves as a beacon of hope and guidance, affirming that people of all faiths can listen to one another’s traditions, find common ground, and stand in moral courage. By sending AbdulKayum Arain to Rome with messages from civic and religious leaders, Cambridge’s Muslim community asserted its integral role in global conversations on compassion, unity, sustainability, and justice.

• We remain committed to promoting intercultural dialogue, protecting the vulnerable, and standing in solidarity with communities striving for a more just, understanding, and harmonious future. The journey demonstrated that Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others can unite around compassion and moral courage to address the world’s most pressing issues, illustrating a path where all people of goodwill walk together, guided by empathy, united in purpose, and dedicated to building bridges of peace.

Through these various events and collaborations, we continuously strive to foster an environment of mutual respect, understanding, and service—both within our local community and on a global scale—upholding the Islamic principles of compassion, unity, and sincerity.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• e examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act, e to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and

• e to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

Independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

• !n connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

• e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and

----- Start of picture text -----
e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been met ; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

• !n connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

• e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and

----- Start of picture text -----
e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been met ; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
