FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity relies upon the generosity of the public, students and worshipers. Currently, the financial needs of the charity have been met by appeals from the public and from donations of parents of children who attend the educational classes provided. The charity had an income for the period of £80,082 (12 months) compared to prior year income of £88,270. This included donation and madrassa contributions. The total expenditure for the period was £42,166 (12 months) compared to prior year of £68,223. The surplus of £37,916 was added to the reserves of the charity to pay for some of the loans undertaken. The charity had £118,735 in unrestricted reserves including the property asset. The reserves policy for the trustees is to retain 3 months of core fixed costs, which is currently £5,000. The remainder of the reserves will be for charitable purposes and income generation purposes.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The charity intends to continue providing a place for education and prayer. The charity also intends to liaise with local residents on their needs so that steps can be taken to meet them. The charity relies heavily on volunteers and it aims to establish more community services by securing volunteers to help.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity provides religious services for Muslims so that they can practise their faith and develop more spirituality and connection with God. The charity also provided benefits to 65 children in education, which included language classes in Arabic. This has helped to advance education of the children and the charity is now an established place for meeting the educational and religious needs of local public. The trustees have given consideration to the public benefit requirements and guidance of the Charity commission and can confirm that they are meeting these requirements for the benefit of the public.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KNIGHTON COMMUNITY & EDUCATION CENTRE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 AUGUST 2024 set out on pages 6 to 9.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
The charity's 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.
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, 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 matters have come to my which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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 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.
