The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **Constitution and Objectives** 

The centre, which is a recognised charity in England & Wales, is operated under the rules of its trust deed dated 1"January 2009 and as amended on 12'"October 2009. 

## **COVID-19 Impact** 

The centre closed during lockdown on the 19th March 2020  during this time we moved content and classes where possible online, celebrating both Ramadan and Eid at home. The centre reopened on the 4th of August 2020 with new covid safety measures in place. 

## **General Activities** 

The community uses the centre for daily prayers and the major communal congregation every Friday. Weekly study circles for men, women and youth are provided in English, Urdu, Arabic and Malay. 

## **Waqf (Endowment) Project** 

Dar ul Isra launched a Waqf (Endowment) Project in May 2019 to purchase a freehold property where the rental income from the property will support a portion of the centre operating costs as the centre moves to a more self-sufficient financial model. 

As of the 31st August 2021, £53,946 had been rasied for the project 

## **East Cardiff Muslim Centre** (ECMC) 

Dar ul Isra acted as a sponsor and partner for East Cardiff Muslim Centre. 

East Cardiff Muslim Centre is a separate community project in the East of Cardiff to accommodate the local community with an open space for youth activities, drop-in sessions for local community members, English language classes, health and wellbeing sessions and educational services. 

A permanent space was secured on the 12th June 2019 with the purchase of a building for £185,000. 

A separate not for profit organisation has now been formed and all restrcited funds have moved to ECMC 

## **Iqra School** 

As part of the community activities, the Centre also run an afternoon faith school for children ages 5 to 15. Classes are held two hours a day, five days a week and are primarily focused on the recitation and memorisation of the Quran.   The school was closed during this accounting period due to COVID

## **Interfaith Activities** 

Throughout the year, the centre organises a number of open days which are well attended by the public as well schools. 

## **Ramadan** 

The mosque resumed evening prayers during Ramadan following the closure in the prior year due to COVID19. 400 meals were served each night for the month 

## **1[st] Cathays Al-Huda Scout Group** 

1[st] Cathays Al-Huda Scout Group use of the lower hall of the Activity Centre to hold their weekly sessions for their 221 members throughout the week, Monday to Friday as well on Sunday. 

The 1[st] Cathays Al-Huda Scout Group operates as in independent organisation and is registered with the scout Association.  The Aim of the group is to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. 

## **Trustees responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993) and that an independent examination is needed to examine the Accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act), to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) in the 1993 Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to their attention. 

## **Volunteers** 

Many volunteers give up their time to help in the centre’s various programmes and projects. Without their help, commitment and dedication we would not have achieved what we have. We would also like to thank our executive, members and the community for their support, advice, guidance, generous donations and constructive criticism. We are grateful to Allah for His blessings and pray He accepts our work in bringing the communities together for the common good of humanity. 

## **Chair Rotation** 

The trustees have agreed the role of Chair will alternate between Dr M Ashi and A M A Najmi every two years.
