## **Trustees' report**
The trustees have the pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2025.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Stratford Islamic Cultural Centre Trust Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee with no share capital, incorporated on 27 November 2008 and registered as a charity on 13 March 2009. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
The directors of the company are also known as trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles. The trustees are the members of the executive committee of the organisation and meet on a regular basis to undertake its monitoring and strategic role. The day-today management of the charity is the responsibility of the directors, who attend all management committee meetings, reports on all key management and strategic matters.
## **Main objectives and activities**
The principal objectives and activities of the charity are:
- to advance the education of the public in Stratford and surrounding area particularly, but not exclusively in the Islamic faith.
- to advance the Islamic faith for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals, producing and distributing literature on the Islamic faith and to enlighten others about Islam.
- to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation to improve the conditions of life of community in Stratford, and the surrounding area.
## **Statement of directors and trustees’ responsibilities**
The Charities Act and the Companies Act 2006 require the board of directors and trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements, the board is required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; and
- state whether applicable accounting standards, the Charities SORP (FRS102) and other relevant legal requirements have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Stratford Islamic Cultural Centre Trust Limited**
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
## **Method of preparation of accounts: Small company provisions and Charities SORP (FRS 102)**
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to charitable companies under the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) second edition 2019.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Stratford Islamic Cultural Centre Trust Limited**
I report on the accounts of Stratford Islamic Cultural Centre Trust Limited, company number 06760099, and charity number 1128546, for the year ended 30th November 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of 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.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention to indicate that:
- the accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act.
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records:
- where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)
- any matter which I believe should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
