Trustees Report

Minaret Community Centre supports children and young people between ages 5 and 18 years. They are mostly refugees from the under privileged background.

Vision

Our vision is to have the children and young people who pass through our supplementary education programme progress to higher education and come out to became respectable members of our community.

THE TRUSTEES

The trustees who served the charity during the period were as follows:

Eng Abdulkadir Abdullahi

Mr Abdullahi Mohamed

Mr Abdirahman Abtidon

Ms Khadra Ali Ms Qaal Warsame

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Principal Office: 303 North End Road, London. W14 9NS

Governing Documents:

The Charity was registered in January 2009. The objects and powers are set out in the constitution.

MCC has a board of trustees made up of four members who meet at least once every six weeks. Our trustees come from a variety of backgrounds; they provide a range of experience and expertise necessary to comply with our collective responsibility and seek to reflect the communities they serve. The board of trustees is responsible for setting the strategic.

How the Trustees are Elected:

The Board of trustees members (aka Management Committee members) are elected for a team of one year, as specified in our Articles of Association, by the members of the organisation at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held by the organisation once every year. According to our governing Articles of Association, any member’s of the board could be re-elected again, so long as the member’s do not wish to remain a member of the Board.

Policy of induction and Training of Trustees:

For new trustees who are elected to board, there is a policy of induction in place, where they are made familiar with their roles in the organisation through information on the governing document and their duties and responsibilities as a trustee of charity.

These include:

the obligation of the Management Committee members, to fully understand the governing documents the financial situation of the Charitable Company and the Future Plans and Objectives of the Organisation

During the induction process, the new members of the Board are giving a “Question & Answer” session there they ask any question on the organisation. The same policy also includes arranging “Training programs” set for capacity building trustees so that might be able to dispense of their duties of governing the Charity. These courses are available from other voluntary organisations that support charities with which we work and network closely.

Organisational Structure and Accountability

The Trustees of the organisation are responsible for every aspect of the organisation:

They set the strategy for achieving its aims and objective, prepare and write its Business Plane and Annual Operational Plans; set the procedures, policies and guidelines (including legally required policies and procedures) that underpin the day to day running and management of the organisation.

They monitor and scrutinise that all the above including quarterly meeting where they receive regular reports from the Co-ordinator on all the above are being achieved including setting targets,

The Co-ordinator is responsible for the day to day running and management of the organisation according to the operational plans and the instructions of the Trustees, to whom he is accountable and to whom new reports at quarterly meetings,

All other staff members and volunteers come under the supervision and accountable to the coordinator.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCES

The main Services and Activities for the year.

A summary of our main activities that we provide for our community through direct access are as follows:

During the year we extended our services from Year 1 to A-Levels. We also increased our intake of children by 70 pupils and the overall children engaged this year was 150+ children.

This year our centre offered different services to the community especially Children and parents. These activities include 9 workshops, 4 training courses, 5 community gatherings, summer activities and celebration event for Sat’s and GCSE students.

We upgrade and updated our policies, specially our safeguarding policies. We carried out action plan for the health and safety requirement for the centre as agreed by our management team in the previous year.

We had training on governance, financial management and Health and Safety.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of MINARET COMMUNITY CENTRE

For the year ended 31 March 2024

I report on the accounts of the company for the period ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the above paragraphs, has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.

MINARET COMMUNITY CENTRE Notes to the Accounts

[For the year ended 31 March 2024 ]

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.

1.1 Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” published in March 2005 and the Companies Act 1985.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No. 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is small company.

1.2 Incoming Resources

Income from activities, voluntary income and donations are included in incoming resources when they are receivable, except when the donors specify that they must be used in future accounting periods or donors’ conditions have not been fulfilled, then the income is deferred. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.

1.3 Resources Expended

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT that cannot be recovered.

Expenditure that is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of those resources.

1.4 Going Concern Basis

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, as in the opinion of the director and trustees, there are no issues arising which would suggest any other basis as being more appropriate.

1.5 Depreciation

Depreciation is provided using the following rates and bases to reduce by annual instalments the cost, less estimated residual value, of tangible assets over the estimated useful lives:

Furniture, Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment - 20% on reducing line basis.
