Our facilities provide a valuable resource for educational, recreational and community needs for the people of Burton with a variety of activities organized and take place regularly.

## **Financial Review**
## **Reserve Policy**
The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity and our policy is to hold enough funds to meet 6 months operating cost of the essential trust facilities and services it provides and current balance exceeds this requirement, see accounts for detail.
## **Funding Sources**
Our main source of income is Giving on Friday prayers, funeral services, contributions towards teacher cost, donations and income towards other activities amounted to £180,526, this is slightly lower than the previous year, due to COVID restrictions. Expenditure has reduced due to most of the maintenance/refurbishment being completed in the previous financial year. Therefore the overall balance has increased by £61,000.
## **Investment Policy**
The trustees have taken the decision that there will be no long-term monetary investment but we do need to purchase the gardens and or houses to the north side of our site (232-238 Uxbridge Street). These will increase our foot print to supplement new build being planned and or future requirement while bringing in regular rental income and we have purchased 232 & 236 Uxbridge Street with existing funds.

## **Central Jamia Mosque Rizvia Report of the Trustees**
## **Future Planning**
Couple of years ago during a public meeting a suggestion was made that we should consider upgrading the mosque by either carrying out major adaptation/refurbishment/extensions or new build and after discussion the meeting endorsed this proposal.
The trustees reviewed the existing facilities against key criteria of is it fit for purpose, future capacity, visual impact (does it look like a mosque/community building and is it appealing/inviting), additional operating and maintenance cost due to lack of insulation/age, compliance with improving health and safety requirements, etc. trustee and management committee came to the decision that we need to evaluate adaptation/refurbishment/extensions against new build.
After further investigation and giving due consideration to both options it became apparent that adaptation/refurbishment/extending will provide limited improvement to building fit for purpose or be cost effective or life increase with significant impact to operations and increase risk to safety of users. The preferred option by the joint group was New Build and this was discussed with community elders and communicated with the general public and was received with positive feedback.
TB/MC concluded that our best option was to build in the car park with some demolition in phase one to allow new build and once complete then demolition the remaining building to create a car park. Extensive fact finding, requirement gathering, hiring of experienced mosque designer, planning advisor took place and after a number iterations of the design against the requirements the scheme was displayed on noticeboard and a number of open sessions for Muslim and local community were held for feedback. Overall response was positive with minimal negative feedback from all sections of the community and especially neighbouring properties. Current commitments are up to outline planning and budgetary cost for the project are c£5m+ (2019) and fundraising streams will be planned and pursued once the planning approval is received.
After all due diligence and required reports the planning application was registered on 20/03/2019 with East Staffordshire Borough Council. The Local Authority requested further information and clarification, which has been provided and Outline Planning approval has been granted and preparations for full planning permission will begin soon.
Once new build is complete then the board will evaluate the need for smaller satellite facilities in the adjoining areas due to growth and demographic migration away from Central Burton.
