Many members face challenges such as language barriers, illiteracy, and unfamiliarity with statutory processes. In response, the Centre remains committed to offering practical assistance, guidance, and welfare support.

Due to high levels of illiteracy and language difficulties within the community, many individuals struggle to manage official correspondence and telephone communications. Tawfiq Masjid and Centre continues to provide essential administrative support, including:

This support remains a cornerstone of the Centre’s commitment to community welfare and empowerment.

We begin by thanking Allah (SWT) for His continued blessings and support. We also extend our sincere gratitude to our staff, volunteers, donors, and the wider community. Their dedication and contributions have enabled the Centre to continue delivering its services and supporting the community, particularly during times of unprecedented difficulty.

Our core activities adapted significantly during challenging periods, yet we maintained essential support services to ensure the wellbeing of the community. We remain indebted to all who played a role in sustaining our work.

Independent examiner’s report

For the year ended 28th February 2025

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 28th February 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 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:

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 matter has come to my attention, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
