CANN HALL DEEN & EDUCATION TRUST
Report of the Trustees for the period ended 31[st] December 2024
The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report for the year ending 31[st] December 2024.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Constitution, and 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) (effective 1 January 2015).
Achievements
Cann Hall Deen and Education Trust (Charity No: 1139523) has made progress with the local planning bodies to inaugurate a local Mosque to serve the local Muslim residents. Having acquired enough funds to initiate building works, the Trust has deployed a phased approach to the project with focus on sustainability, development and progress. To date the following works have been completed or are in progress towards completion:
Second floor First phase of the flat completion is done. This is being rented out now to generate income to sustain the Mosque.
First floor Full refurbishment of classrooms, meeting rooms, kitchenette and toilets with the intended use of the area to accommodate educational facilities, community use and meeting rooms. Second phase is underway to complete the Hall.
Ground floor Complete refurbishment to create the open space for daily prayers with allocated lobby via the main entrance with wheelchair access together with wash / toilet facilities. Work in progress is ongoing.
We also organised Educational and Pilgrimage trip ‘Umrah’ for members.
Charitable objects
-
To advance the Islamic religion for the benefit of the public particularly but not exclusively through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures and public celebration of religious festivals;
-

Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity undertakes.
-
the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
● the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimise risk.
Reserves policy and going concern
The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level which ensures that Cann Hall Deen and Education Trust’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.
Finance and Fundraising
We are grateful for the ongoing support from our member’s contributions and interest free loan which help the sustenance of the organisation.
Our volunteers
The mosque relies a lot on voluntary help. Around 28 volunteers assisted us in this financial year. We wish to thank our volunteers for their loyal support and contribution.
Future plans
In 2025, we plan to continue our activities. We are also actively recruiting volunteers to strengthen our management and administration. We plan to run educational trips, children’s classes and youth activities & sports to tackle isolation and improve education, Food Bank, Emergency relief, health and wellbeing.
Trustees and their responsibilities
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases.
Trustees have, and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.
We would like to thank all our volunteers and all our service users who have given their energy and commitment to achieve Cann Hall Deen & Education Trust’s objectives. We would also like to thank all our funders for their support.
Signed on behalf of the trustees

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Cann Hall Deen & Education Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st ] December 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
