Foreword

At the height of the pandemic, we were invited to join a group of community and faith organisations, and health practitioners from Barts NHS Trust to help create public health advice for communities who were hit hard by Covid-19.

This group worked at a neighbourhood level, identifying which families were suffering from bereavement, which specific communities were feeling isolated and afraid.

There were no terms of reference or a mission statement for this group, simply the need to alleviate the suffering of the communities they worked with and were from.

This group met every week for the past 12 months and without fail generously offered practical support, advice, and sometimes a much-needed prayer.

Despite the restrictions of lockdowns, we worked with these partners to create films and resources in different languages that would help people navigate the hospital system, talk to a seriously ill relatives in an Intensive Care Unit or answers questions about whether home-cooked food was

allowed into hospitals. There was a constant flow of granular information and immediate action, however seemingly small.

These partnerships based on learning and practice, and importantly care, have always been a part of our work. In a pandemic these relationships had to be formed quickly to deal with a public health emergency.

Our Schools with Roots project created multilingual resources to support families (and produced with families) during lockdown with literacy, e-safety, and transitions into reception and from primary to secondary school. These resources are vital to

mitigate against the impact of Covid-19 on the most marginalised communities. The coming year has already seen more schools reaching out to us for these resources and for additional support.

Muslim Girls Fence was able to adapt quickly to the pandemic and offer online sessions to communities. We are starting to prepare for physical sessions again in schools and will be focusing on the specific mental health needs and therapeutic tools that can be useful for Muslim pupils.

Our criminal justice work documents in details the experience of Muslims in the prison system and the systemic racism they face as a group, particularly when showing signs of religiosity. Alongside this work we have been working with providers of vital services such as mental health services to ensure they recognise and meet the specific needs of Muslims in prison, especially following a 23 hour lockdown in prisons.

At a national government level, we continue to raise the problematic rise of Muslims in prison with Ministers and civil servants and we will continue to raise this issue more widely.

We ran our first multi-arts festival, MFest, in partnership with the British Library. The festival was a celebration of Muslim knowledge and creativity and explored archiving, the ethics of loving, and comedy. It felt appropriate that we should curate a joyful event in community with so many talented Muslim artists after the year we had experienced.

We had audiences of up to 230 people with people tuning in from India, Malaysia, the Emirates, the US, Turkey and European countries.

As well as panel discussions, MFest aims to build infrastructure and community and therefore help to create more opportunities for Muslim artists and writers with partners such as the Arvon Foundation, Spread the Word, Soho Theatre, and Hajar Press.

The pandemic is far from over as communities live with the grief of losing family and friends. The existing inequalities and racisms have been exacerbated and this will make life harder for those who have the least voice and power in society.

Why Maslaha?

The past few years have seen a heightened focus on Muslim communities and Islam across the UK and abroad. The combination of terrorist attacks, war, political decisions, and social deprivation have all shaped with an intense pace how Muslims are seen and thought of in the public imagination. It has been out of this difficult period that Maslaha began as an idea to eventually become an independent organisation.

Maslaha translates from the Arabic as ‘for the common good’ and this is the driving force behind all our work.

Despite this tense history our overwhelming experience has been that our partners from every sector of society are committed to, and believe, that it is possible to create empowered Muslim communities. Maslaha translates from the Arabic as ‘for the common good’ and this is the driving force behind all our work. We tackle the most immediate social issues affecting Muslim communities today as well as creating a greater understanding of Islam from a cultural and historical perspective.

The name Maslaha is also important because it is about changing the language that is used about Muslims and Islam. We need to expand our language and vocabulary if we are to tackle some of our biggest issues, and if we are to give communities the space to think for themselves and speak on their own terms. Muslims represent the largest minority faith group in the UK and constitute an ethnically diverse population with a very young age profile. A significant proportion of this population lives in deprived inner-city areas, and Muslims have higher levels of unemployment, economic inactivity, ill health, educational achievement, and poor housing conditions than all other faith groups.

Our health work, for example, recognizes that Muslim communities experience disproportionately high health inequalities around conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy and depression. A contributing factor to this is that both health services and communities are not equipped to appropriately tackle the root causes of these issues and engage with the complex realities of all patients’ lives.

The way we approach this in our health interventions is to create resources for both patients and practitioners that combine faith advice and cultural references with medical advice. We then embed these resources in the everyday spaces of communities, as well as nationally. By doing this we have reached over 19,500 patients and health professionals and our resources are endorsed by NHS trusts across the country, the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) and medical curricula in universities.

One of Maslaha’s strengths is bringing together a diverse mix of people within and between each project: supporters and partners include the young and the elderly, nurses and teachers, artists and academics, imams and historians, policy makers and school pupils, and those who do have a faith and those who do not. Our projects straddle a number of sectors and this unusual mix of people has led to new networks of collaboration and new perspectives on how social issues can be tackled.

Maslaha’s working strategy puts communities at the centre of making change happen.

Our strategy

Maslaha’s working strategy puts communities at the centre of making change happen. Our vision – that Muslim communities are empowered to overcome social inequalities – can only be truly achieved through working closely with communities, and by recognising their role as active proponents of that change. Our strategy will guide our work over the coming years and enable us to effectively work towards our objectives of reducing levels of deprivation amongst Muslim communities and challenging stereotypes.

Maslaha has produced award-winning and groundbreaking resources, driven by an ability to engage with communities, service providers, and decisionmakers alike, to reach across perceived institutional divides, and to empower and enable motivated individuals and organisations to pursue good ideas based on a lived understanding of particular needs.

This approach informs all of our work, and is key to Maslaha’s ability to implement our strategy effectively.

Our Areas of Work

HEALTH: Muslim communities frequently have trouble accessing health services. A lack of shared language between patients, communities and health practitioners contributes to challenges in accessing support, and that support being relevant and appropriate.

EDUCATION: There are high levels of underachievement and disengagement among young Muslims, which are linked to a lack of appropriate support and culturally relevant curriculums and impacted by negative stereotypes and misconceptions that surround Islam and Muslim communities, and their relationship with wider society.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE: The number

of Muslims in prison has more than doubled over the past 15 years and their experience, treatment and outcomes in prison are consistently more negative compared to nonMuslims. Negative stereotyping has been shown to act as a barrier to opportunity and engagement with services for Muslims in prison.

GENDER: Muslim women and girls face complex discrimination that arises from the intersections of their faith, race, gender and other identities. This in turn creates complex challenges and barriers for them across society including in areas such as employment and education. For example Muslim women are 70% more likely to be unemployed than white Christian women.

Our Strategic Goals

We carry out our strategic objectives by working across three defined areas: practice, policy and public imagination. Each social issue will require a different mix of these, but by working across all of them we ensure our work can achieve real and lasting impact.

Practice – working practically with communities at a grassroots local level.

Policy – changing practice at a local level can only be sustained by sharing our learning at a strategic level and ensuring that this informs future policy decisions.

Public imagination – Influencing, and where possible shaping, public debates and media narratives. We combine creativity with everyday action and engagement to find new ways to connect and communicate.

Case Studies 10 11

  1. Educating public service providers and wider society to better understand Muslim and other marginalised communities

Muslim Girls Fence

Muslim Girls Fence has continued its delivery of the project throughout the pandemic and lockdowns remotely and is now slowly returning to face-toface delivery. Though our projects, we have been working with our coaches, artists, facilitators, and partners at British Fencing to share our learnings. Our new focus for the project is the impact of racism and Islamophobia on mental health and wellbeing in young people.

Many large charities and mental health organisations are rightly focussing on the mental health of young people but impacts of structural racism and systemic inequalities are often overlooked and not included. We have been working with teachers and schools to put together a short report and learning resource that aims to raise awareness, share experiences, and bring this conversation into the mainstream. The report will be launched in the autumn of 2021, exploring the situation in schools for Muslim staff as well as students, and suggests some important points for senior leadership, classroom teachers and all school staff to be aware of.

In the same vein, we have also produced a short podcast series, ‘Re-imagining Care’ . We carried out research interviews with project participants, coaches, artists, academics, mental health and medical professionals and activists around the subject of wellbeing and care, what it means, what it should mean, how we practice care in our society and imagining better relationships of care for the future. We spoke about similar topics in our school projects, but also explored them more broadly and generally, including pandemic experiences for different members of society. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long and can be found on the Maslaha Soundcloud page.

We have also been invited to present on webinars run by our funders to speak to other organisations about our work, how we work with communities and run the project both nationally and locally, and to share our learnings. This included a consultation for Sport England’s strategy on Women in Sport.

We also presented at the Transformative PE Practice event for school physical education teachers and following the screening of our film ‘Nobody’s Metaphor’ during the summer last year, we have been invited to screen it and share our knowledge on panel discussions in over four online events, including to the University of Bournemouth Sports Science cohort.

Knowing that safe spaces for Muslim women and girls are scarce - and the work we do goes well beyond the project itself - thanks to our funders we also sponsored the launch event at MFest for an anthology of writing by visibly Muslim women entitled ‘Cut From the Same Cloth?’ in partnership with Civic Square, we were able to organise an online book launch, the themes of which included wellbeing, care, and the focus of our projects. It is always important for us to build into our praxis the themes of the project itself, and we hope to continue nurturing valuable partnerships and working towards important goals together.

“It’s great that you’ve continually focused on sharing your learning across the sector. We were grateful for the learning/feedback from Maslaha earlier on in the programme and were able to change some of the wording for future London Together funding calls as a result. This was a small change and there’s a lot more to do but it’s great that you’re committed to keeping the conversation going with the sector, particularly around structural racism. Linked to this, we’re going to be consulting with the sector ahead of our next sport for change funding call.” - Comic Relief

Schools with Roots

EVENS EDUCATION PRIZE

We were delighted to win the 2020 Evens Education Prize for Schools with Roots , under the ‘practice’ category. The Evens Education Prize this year focused on ‘Critical Thinking as a Practice of Freedom’, focusing on organisations which embed practices that support critical thinking around social questions.

The Jury reported that “the Schools with Roots project is a great example of the way in which Maslaha recognises and relies on the knowledge and expertise that exists in the communities they work with and the power this has to create change across society.”

They were particularly impressed by the way we “supported schools and teachers to engage in critical thinking in order to make learning more relevant for both pupils and their families.” The jury were also impressed by the way that Maslaha’s “solid educational focus – proposing a new way to

think about education – has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of the pupils and their families.”

We launched the documentary at an event at MFest ‘Archiving for Ourselves’ which included a conversation with four panellists: New Delhi based oral historian Aanchal Malhotra, Sadiya Ahmed, founder of Everyday Muslim Heritage and Archive Initiative in the UK, Asmaa Jama, who is part of the Camel Meat + Cassette Tapes project at Dhaqan Collective and Ghazal who worked with us as a co-producer of “A Merciless Light - Covid 19 in Newham” . At the event we discussed why recording and archiving at this time is more important than ever, and the role that oral history can play, as a form of activism, in subverting and reclaiming narratives. The documentary now sits in Newham’s local archive.

Health

COVID-19 RESPONSE

We worked with community and faith organisations in partnership with Barts NHS Trust to deliver emergency health advice and support to communities in east London (in areas of high deprivation and loss of life), which were then shared nationally by our wider health networks.

At the start of the pandemic the health advice focused on measures to avoid catching the virus, vaccination, as well as advice on how to navigate the hospital system during the pandemic.

The start of the pandemic also coincided with Ramadan and at a time when little was understood about the virus. We worked with Imams, GPs, epidemiologists, medical researchers, and faith groups to produce resources on fasting safely during the pandemic.

We continue to work with our community and health partners to respond to the pandemic and plan for future community-led health responses.

Several funders and charities also approached Maslaha for advice on meeting the immediate needs of Black and brown communities in the pandemic, and long-term strategies for supporting them.

We’re now building on this by working to create a stronger civil society for Black and brown communities, tackling issues around leadership, research, and funding processes. For example, we supported in setting up the Phoenix Fund — a £50 million fund aiming to create an equitable funding process for Black and brown-led organisations.

Criminal Justice

IMPROVING VOLUNTARY SECTOR SERVICES FOR MUSLIM PEOPLE IN PRISON

Over the past year we have been working closely with Samaritans, Pact, and the Prisoners’ Education Trust to provide them with practical support to improve their services for Muslims. Between them, these charities cover most of the prison estate, delivering vital services that incorporate mental health, family and prisoner support, education, and pathways to rebuild lives following release.

For this phase of the criminal justice programme, we not only aim to ensure services run by these three charities are more accessible to Muslims but by working with some of the largest charities in criminal justice we aim to set an example for the wider voluntary sector, influencing how more charities understand religious and cultural identity and its relationship to service delivery.

Our work to date has included running workshops, developing training and providing resource sheets to educate staff and volunteers on the needs and

experiences of Muslim prisoners so they are better equipped to provide support.

For example, we developed new training for Samaritans that was trialled and rolled out across all its volunteers working on prison helplines. The overwhelming majority of those who undertook the training felt they had better insight into the issues facing, and the needs of, Muslim prisoners and were more equipped to support them. This is shown in the results of a survey of the training’s effectiveness:

“I think it’s had a great impact on raising people’s awareness and hopefully will help our volunteers remember that people of different faiths may have different concerns than they might anticipate in prison.”

We are also supporting the charities to review the

accessibility and relevance for Muslims in prison of some of the services and courses they run. We are then going on to develop exciting new pilots and tailored provision for Muslims that will shape their work in specific prisons before being rolling out more widely. These pilots will be specifically be targeted at increasing the level of engagement from Muslims and ensuring they in turn receive a service that understands and responds to their identity and meets their needs.

For example, we are working with the Prisoners’ Education Trust to develop and trial education courses at Wormwood Scrubs prison that are delivered in partnership with prison imams specifically for Muslim prisoners. We are also supporting Pact to understand the barriers preventing Muslim women in prison engaging with their relationship and family services, including a course on healthy relationships, with the view of trialling a tailored course for Muslim women that is relevant to their cultural, religious and social backgrounds.

REALITIES OF RAMADAN IN PRISON

Ramadan should be a joyous time for Muslim people around the world, but for those in prison it can be a particularly difficult and isolating period where Muslims are subject to heightened discrimination and often find it harder to practice their religion.

However, the experiences of Muslims in prison during Ramadan are not normally given a public hearing. This year to raise more awareness we launched a new series called the ‘Realities of Ramadan in prison’. As part of this series, throughout Ramadan we released regular audio clips from interviews we held with Muslim people who were either currently in prison or who had recently been to prison.

This gave voice to the experiences of Muslim prisoners in their own words and shone a spotlight on how they have been prevented from fully exercising their right to observe Ramadan. Each clip was accompanied by comic panels which powerfully illustrated what Muslims had endured.

The audio clips and comics were promoted on social media and uploaded to our website. They were shared widely and gained significant traction on twitter not just from those working in the criminal justice sector but from across sectors and engaged wider Muslim civil society.

The work was also featured in a guest blog written for Russell Webster – a platform widely used by those working in criminal justice. The blog highlighted the audio series and raised awareness amongst criminal justice front-line workers and decision-makers of the both the practical challenges of Ramadan in prison such as fasting around prison regimes and praying in shared cells with non-Muslims as well as the mental health and emotional impact.

To support this work and address the significant lack of knowledge in criminal justice and the voluntary sector about Ramadan and what this can mean for a Muslim person in prison, we also provided our partners with practical support. This included an additional resource sheet that we produced for

Pact and additional material for Samaritan’s training programme and in-house newsletter - which has a potential reach of up to 20,000 volunteers and 250 staff. Both these received positive feedback and in addition we also attending meetings with policymakers to highlight key issues and advice on solutions.

“I know members of the team have used the [Ramadan] information sheet in our resource pack, and it’s great to have this there to refer to.” Programme Manager, Helpline & Befriending, Pact

Covid-19

‘A MERCILESS LIGHT – COVID 19 IN NEWHAM’ AUDIO DOCUMENTARY

We produced a 30-minute audio documentary ‘A Merciless Light – Covid-19 in Newham’ that shares stories of how Covid 19 was experienced by Black and brown working-class communities in Newham in ways that have not been acknowledged or accounted for in official reviews and records. It explores the impact of Covid 19 in the context of pre-existing inequalities experienced in the borough of Newham.

You can listen to the documentary on the Maslaha Soundcloud account.

We have worked in Newham for over four years in our Schools with Roots work and early on in the pandemic it was revealed that Newham - which has the most ethnically diverse population of any borough in the country - was the hardest hit borough in the UK at that time.

The documentary was the result of community-led research into the impact of Covid-19 in Newham. We carried out research and interviews in Newham with over 30 community members and members of local renters unions, and domestic violence, homelessness and other front line services, as well as school staff, artists, activists and medical professionals.

We worked with a wide range of community partners and it was important to us to hire a community member Ghazal Haqani, to work with us to co-produce the documentary and carry out interviews.

The documentary explores the impact of Covid-19 in the context of pre-existing inequalities in the borough of Newham.

2. Influencing systemic change and replicating local success at a national level

Muslim Girls Fence

Through the project running in the Midlands, and working with our incredible coaches and partners, Ladywood Leisure centre in Birmingham has awarded us a free venue space for as long as it is needed. This is not only unheard of in terms of local provision, but it is also an incredible way of making the project more accessible to more people in the local Birmingham area. As well as hosting an art and photography exhibition from the Birmingham project in the leisure centre itself, it shows that untraditional spaces and untraditional relationships are what’s needed to remove some of the systemic and structural barriers to sport and physical activity and to create safe spaces for marginalised and racialised communities.

Collaborations and partnerships are extremely important to us, and especially our partnership with British Fencing. Working together for several years, we have built a trusting relationship and are currently working together on recruiting for a role that for British Fencing specifically focusses on the MGF project.

We have also built closer relationships with our fencing coaches, supporting them to make independent funding applications, and to also make their sessions and spaces sustainable. We are running leadership programmes with them and their participants, creating a space where our coaches can go on to become coach developers and run training programmes for other coaches and sports professionals, all with the values of the MGF project. With this in mind, we are also working closely with coaches and participants to set up fencing clubs that can continue to run for women and girls in the local area once the project has come to a close.

By sharing the creative outcomes from previous projects, we have also been invited to start project delivery in a number of schools in east London. We are currently planning and looking forward to commencing delivery in September.

22

23

Over the last 12 months, MGF has been invited to speak at a number of events and has made several media appearances. Some of these include speaking on the BBC Women’s Sport Show with Jeannette Kwakye; a twitter takeover for the Sport and Rec Alliance; presenting at the Women and Girl’s Sport Conference; and appearing on BBC Woman’s Hour and Times Radio to discuss the project and barriers to sport that all women face from the world stage of the Olympics to community, grassroots level. MGF also spoke at the Sports Unites Insight Webinar and a film screening and workshop for Muslim Scouts. Our film ‘Nobody’s Metaphor’ screened at several online events and was also nominated for the Research in Film Awards 2020, in the Inspiration Award Category.

MGF was also interviewed by journalist and writer Poorna Bell, and features in her book, ‘Stronger: Everything I Knew About Women’s Strength’ , published in April 2021.

Criminal Justice

TACKLING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MUSLIMS IN PRISON: MAKING THE CASE

Muslims make up 17% of the prison population compared to representing just 5% of the general population. Not only are they overrepresented in numbers but their experience, treatment and outcomes in prison are consistently more negative compared to non-Muslims. As shown by numerous reviews and annual reports published by the Chief Inspectorate of Prisons.

Our own research highlights the lack of understanding in the prison system of even the basic tenets of Islam and the religious and cultural needs of Muslim communities. This enables negative and crude stereotypes about Muslim people to flourish. These stereotypes are linked to a narrative of radicalisation and extremism, creating a climate of Islamophobia and suspicion in prison. We found this led to heightened scrutiny and policing of Muslims in prison, misinterpretation of

their actions, and attempts to negate anything that appears ‘too Islamic’.

Our current criminal justice programme aims to raise awareness of, and halt, this unequal and discriminatory treatment that Muslims experience in the prison system.

To do this we continue to seek proactive opportunities to promote and disseminate our research and be reactive to changes in the external environment so that the experience of Muslims in the prison system is not left as a periphery issue for officials, decision-makers, and other key stakeholders.

INFLUENCING OFFICIALS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS

We have responded to a number of select committee inquiries to raise the inequalities experienced by Muslims in prison and highlight examples of our work with communities that can provide solutions. This is to increase external

pressure on the government to take action on the treatment of Muslims and encourage wider adoption of our approach.

We have continued to advocate for Muslim prisoners in meetings with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). Most recently MoJ have set up a group to provide advice on their programme of work to support faith in custody. We have been invited to the group to represent the experiences and needs of Muslims.

INFLUENCING THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR

We have been working to educate the mainstream voluntary sector on the discrimination Muslims face in the prison system and the ways in which their right to religion is undermined. By doing this we are influencing how the sector holds the prison system to account when it is unable to deliver its work to Muslim people because of the discrimination and racism they face.

As part of a series of Legal Action workshops delivered in partnership with Equal, the Criminal Justice Alliance and Liberty, we have delivered training and support to a number of grassroot organisations and networks working with racialised communities to develop their skills on influencing and creating change.

INFLUENCING FUNDERS

We have been influencing funders to tackle racial disparity and increase racial literacy and have been consulted on their approaches in several roundtables. We have also been invited to comment on the strategies and programmes of funders for example most recently we provided feedback on Barrow Cadbury Trust’s strategy that they are currently reviewing.

INFLUENCING THE PUBLIC

We continue on an ongoing basis to gather more evidence on the experiences of Muslims in criminal justice by speaking to those directly impacted by the system and provide a platform for their voices.

By continuing to share these, it raises awareness of criminal justice in a way that resonates more powerfully with the public and engages wider Muslim civil society.

A coalition of charities have come together in partnership to campaign against the provisions in the Police, Crime, Sentencing, Courts Bill that will exacerbate racial inequality in the criminal justice system. We have supported the coalition to understand, and raise awareness about, the impact of the Bill on Muslim communities with the view of preventing these clauses from passing.

We have made a number of public statements in response to developments in criminal and social justice policy which have been shared through social media to promote understanding of the impact on Muslims, highlight discriminatory decision-making and develop understandings of the connections between social justice issues.

3. Educating and empowering Muslim and other marginalised communities

Schools with Roots

SCHOOLS WITH ROOTS TEACHER TRAINING

We carried out teacher training with PGCE primary school students at the University of East London (UEL) which involved two workshops. The first, ‘Power and Positionality’ , looked at how racism manifests in schools. The second, ‘Community Engagement’ , looked at how community engagement is central to anti-racism and offered teachers practical tools from our Schools with Roots programme that they can take into their schools and classrooms in the future.

This was an important step for us as we believe that it is important for this content to be a core part of a teacher’s training during their formative training years, as opposed to an add-on training later in their careers.

The sessions we delivered were online and were well attended with over 130 students attending each session. We had extremely positive feedback, this included:

“Just please keep delivering these sessions but to schools that are not only in multi-cultural areas. Awareness needs to be instilled throughout the country.”

“The training sessions have made me think differently about my approach to teaching. There are things that I need to consider that I may not have thought about before. Especially useful for me, being a white person who grew up in Ireland where it was predominantly white catholic.”

28

29

We are now working with UEL to deliver similar sessions in next academic year with secondary as well as primary school teacher trainees. These are scheduled for the autumn term. Looking ahead, we want to continue working with PGCE students and to make this offer available to as many universities as possible.

COMMUNITY FUND AND COVID EMERGENCY WORK WITH SCHOOLS

We received a grant from Comic Relief to administer a community fund worth £13,500 in total which we were able to give directly to families and communities in Newham, in whatever form was most useful for them. We worked with parents who we know well from our schools work to identify parents in need, as well as with partner schools in Newham, Sandringham Primary School and Woodgrange Infant School. We also worked with local grassroots groups such as Magpie Project and London Renters Union to reach families in difficult situations.

We have had positive feedback from the schools we work with about how helpful the films have been in supporting parents.

The fund meant that we were able to support families - the majority of whom had No Recourse to Public Funds - with cash payments to pay bills and buy food vouchers as well as laptops, tablets and support to cover WiFi costs for families. For example, we were able to distribute money directly to 23 families with No Recourse to Public Funds. We were able to gift 35 families with tablets and laptops so their children could participate in home learning, and we donated over £1000 for a uniform bank at Sandringham that included shoes, coats, and uniform items.

• FOR LITERACY We worked closely with teachers to create two short films - one for early years and one for Key Stage 1 and 2. These films focus on accessible, easy activities that can be done to support literacy at home, with a particular focus on families who do not have English as a first language. The films stress the value of bilingualism and offer a range of activities and games that can be done in any language and that will support children with their literacy and oracy.

• FOR ZOOM AND GOOGLE CLASSROOM We knew tutorials existed for these platforms and yet families were still struggling because these were not translated into other languages and they were not presented in accessible ways. Furthermore, these films were specifically for parents using Zoom/Google Classroom for school. We developed additional resources and have had positive feedback from the schools we work with about how helpful the films have been in supporting parents.

MULTI-LINGUAL ACCESSIBLE RESOURCES FOR SCHOOLS

We have continued to work with partner schools, including Sandringham Primary School in Forest Gate, Beeches Primary School in Peterborough, and Poplar’s Farm Primary School in Bradford to creat accessible, multi-lingual resources that support families. During the first lockdown the schools contacted us with particular concerns around supporting parents to support their children with literacy, using Zoom and Google Classroom, and e-safety.

We worked with teachers to pinpoint the exact issues and areas of concern, to help parents navigate the online landscape, and feel equipped to support their child online.

Our final resource this year has been a film, ‘Anti-Racism From Day 1’ . This 10-minute, animated film provides advice to schools on how they can work to be anti-racist institutions, grounded in practical examples. We worked in partnership with Liz Pemberton, Director of The Black Nursery Manager LTD, a training & consultancy company whose mission is to promote inclusive practice in the Early Years (under 5’s) education sector. It has a particular focus on how race, culture and anti-racism should be considered in this practice.

• FOR E-SAFETY An area of concern raised by staff at Poplar’s Farm Primary School and Beeches Primary School was E-safety and how parents have struggled more with this during lockdown and with children spending more time on devices. We worked with teachers to pinpoint the exact issues and areas of concern, to help parents navigate the online landscape, and feel equipped to support their child online.

We have also continued to add additional languages to the resources we made last year ‘Getting Ready for Reception’ and ‘Learning Through Play’ . These are now available in English, Turkish, Sylheti, Somali, Urdu, Slovak, Polish, Urdu, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Arabic.

We also supported Sandringham Primary School in making two multi-lingual films for parents about the transition from primary school to secondary school. This was an area that the school was particularly worried about as they usually have in-person sessions where staff guide parents and carers through the application process.

MFest

This year we were delighted to run MFest for the first time, having taken over the festival in 2020. We relaunched MFest virtually in May in partnership with the British Library as a community generated season of events and workshops.

MFest is a multi-arts festival of Muslim knowledge and creativity. We bring together artists, activists, thinkers, organisations and collectives to celebrate the collective power of diverse Muslim communities, connect with our roots and imagine thriving futures. At MFest we reclaim and recontextualise the diverse stories and histories that represent Muslim communities. We work with partners to explore and unlock existing archives - while also celebrating and acknowledging all the vital ways that embodied knowledge sustains and nourishes our communities.

We kicked off the festival with an event ‘Connecting Anti-Racist Struggles’ that brought together acclaimed speakers from France, the US and the UK, including: award-winning activist and journalist Rokhaya Diallo, Zarah Sultana MP and

activist Hoda Katebi. The conversation was chaired by Aamna Mohdin of The Guardian.

In total we presented a season of 13 online events across May and June. Events ranged from Young Adult literature events to conversations on ‘The Ethic of Loving’ and ‘Archiving for Ourselves’ and discussions such as ‘Telling Queer and Trans Muslim Stories’ and ‘Women’s leadership in West African scholarship.’ For our opening eight events on the British Library’s media platform each event was viewed by audiences of between 161 – 230 people. Audiences tuned in from across the world, from India, Egypt, The Emirates, the US, Malaysia, Canada, Australia, Turkey and cities across Europe including Stockholm, Vienna, Helsinki and Paris.

We will be running further events in Autumn 2021 including the launch of the MFest commission with the British Library Sound Archives and events with the Black Females in Architecture collective.

A big part of our reimagined MFest is addressing the barriers to accessing arts for many Muslim and Black and brown communities so we focus on creating tangible opportunities and meaningful legacy through the festival. This year we focused on writing opportunities and launched the MFest Short Story Competition in partnership with Hajar Press and with generous support from Spread the Word and Arvon Foundation. The winner will receive a publishing contract with Hajar Press and an Arvon Residencies. Five runners up will receive developmental support from Spread the Word and Hajar Press.

We also launched the MFest Writers Lab which is a writing development programme for Muslim writers in the early stages of their career. A cohort of 12 Muslim writers (18 years +) will receive weekly sessions across Autumn 2021 on different writing mediums from playwriting, comic-writing, screenwriting, and novel-writing with a range of different partners including Soho Theatre, Spread the Word, SelfMadeHero and We Are Bridge.

We bring together artists, activists, thinkers, organisations and collectives to celebrate the collective power of diverse Muslim communities, connect with our roots and imagine thriving futures.

As part of MFest we commissioned a wide range of artists and curators and we will be working with a wide range of partners to shape the festival going forward. MFest 2021 was featured across a range of BBC regional radio stations and on ArtsProfessional. Stance Podcast have produced an MFest special episode that will aired in July 2021 and will be available on its website.

At MFest we reclaim and recontextualise the diverse stories and histories that represent Muslim communities.

Financial Summary

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

During the year 2021 Maslaha made a net profit of £84,181 (2019: £82,103) resulting in net assets of £373,295 (2020: £289,114)

In the Trustees’ view, the reserves should provide the charity with adequate financial stability through maintaining sufficient reserves in liquid form to meet short term obligations. As Maslaha develops its own internal infrastructure, the reserve level will be reviewed to ensure sufficient to support the organisation to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future.

The organisation has a number of multi-year grants with principal sources of funding from a variety of charitable foundations, as well as donations and consultancy work. All expenditure for

the year is directly related to fulfilling the aims and objectives of the funder’s requirements.

The trustees propose to maintain the charity’s reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to three months overhead expenditure. This level has been set giving due regard to its manner of operation & likely funding streams. At present, this is taken as £50k. The Trustees acknowledge that as a small & growing organisation Maslaha may need to utilise reserves to support cash flow; this is permitted in the following circumstances:

The Trustees regularly review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations.

Independent examiner’s statement

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

I have no concerns and 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.

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000, I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

Responsibilities and basis of report

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Approved by the trustees on ………………………………
24 January 2022		 and signed on their behalf by: Emran Mian Trustee Company registration no. 7309979 The attached notes form part of the financial statements. Maslaha Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2021 1
Accounting policies		 a)
Basis of preparation		 The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. b)
Reconciliation with previously Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP)		 In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was required. c)
Going concern		 The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. d)
Income		 Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. e)
Donations of gifts, services and facilities		 Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. f)
Interest receivable		 Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. g)
Fund accounting		 Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

Accounting policies (continued) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Allocation of support costs Support office funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6. Tangible fixed assets Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows: � Debtors Trade prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors and provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
