**GOODWOOD COMMUNITY & EDUCATION CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
The Charity Trustees submit their annual report and accounts for the period ended 31[st] March 2025.
## **Governing document and constitution**
The charity is an unincorporated organisation formed by adoption of a trust deed dated 1 May 2009 as amended on 10 December 2011. The charity is registered as a Charity with Charity Commission for England and Wales with effect from 31 July 2009.
## **Charity Trustees**
The first trustees were appointed by the trust deed and hold office for life. Additional trustees are appointed for a term by the then trustees by a resolution passed at a meeting.
Trustee who served during the year are shown on page 1.
## **Governance**
The charity is governed by trustees, who are responsible for the effective management of the organisation.
Meetings are held on a regular basis.
## **Objects of the Charity**
The principal objects of the charity are:
- To advance the education of the public in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of community learning programmes, classes, seminars and functions;
- To advance the religion of Islam, by means of, but not exclusively, promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, in accordance with the Hanafi school of thought, provision of facilities for worship, and provision of facilities for Islamic education;
- To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship, social circumstances, or other disadvantage with the object of improving their conditions of life; and
- To promote any other charitable purpose for the benefit of muslims and the general public that the trustees from time to time may determine.
## **Activities report**
In planning activities the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit at the meetings.
The charity has established and runs subsidised after school classes for children to learn Islamic tenets to develop a better understanding of Islam. The education is imparted systemically to ensure children at different stages of learning attain appropriate benefit. The classes are attended by children who live in the neighbourhood of the charity.
The charity has established a regular five time prayer facility led by an Imam for all people to participate in. These prayers are well attended by families who live in the neighbourhood of the charity.

## **Volunteers**
On many occasions the Association involves volunteers in the delivery of its activities. We have a full range of policies and procedures operating to ensure this involvement is successful and beneficial to all parties.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.
## **Reserves**
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level in excess of annual unrestricted management and administration expenditure. Unrestricted funds are maintained at least at this level throughout the year.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GOODWOOD COMMUNITY & EDUCATION CENTRE**
I report on the accounts of Goodwood Community & Education Centre for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that **no** material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **GOODWOOD COMMUNITY & EDUCATION CENTRE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS AS AT 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies Accounting convention**
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
- Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019,
- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102),
- the Charities Act 2011,
- and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
## **Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
