(UMO), is the representative umbrella organisation for the Muslim community of Walsall. The organisation represents all the Mosques and Madrassah's in the borough of W81sall. In addition to this represents many other organisations within the Muslim community that provide services to the Muslim inhabitants of the Borough of Walsall. UMO Cowordinates and supports the charitable and voluntary efforts of all Muslim organisations in Walsall. Our membership is very wide ranging and embraces many communities and cultures originating from Asia, Africa and the Middle East as well as Europe and our work benefits all communities living in Walsall.
This report sets out the work carried from April 2022 to end of March 2023 by the organisation. The Census in 2021 pui the number of people identifying as Muslim in the Borough of Walsall at around 32,000. the overwhelming majority of these having roots in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Since the 2011 Census the numbers of Muslims arriving in Walsall with roots outside of South Asia has grown considerably and Walsall now has a sizable community of Muslims from Africa (notably Somalia and West Africa) and from Afghanistan as well as a sizable Mmunity of people who identify as Kurdish and more recently asylum seekers from Syria. UMO seeks to work with and disseminate infomiation throughout all these communities. Our key starting point is the Mosques, although we also use our links with cultural organisations and social groups. The Trustees took the UMO into supported status in August 2017 following the inactivity of the previous management committee leading to lack of income and inability to communicate with the extem81 agencies and the Charity Commission. Last year our income exceeded the £25.000 threshold which requires UMO to submit a trustees report. accounts with an independent inspection and this full report to the Charity Commission. Our accounts were filed later than usual and I would like to apologise for this delay. On behalf of the Trustees, we wish to thank Walsall Mosques and the interim Board led by Mohammed Arif as an Interim£haimian for their continued hard work. Mahmood M Sacha - Chainnan of Trustees Board Interim Board The following interim-b)ard has been leading the work of UMO.

Walsall Mos ues Our core membership includes all Walsall's mosques. and we have a strong working relationship with all the imams across the Borough. As well as a committee of volunteers we have a part-time officer who disseminates information wa our website and membership network as well as supporting and co-ordinating projects involving our members. From youth initiatives to cross- cultural cohesion projects, we aim to build solidarity between faith communities and non-faith communities alike and focus on reducing isolation and countering the ill effects of poverty and discrimination.
