Achievements and performance
Achievements and performance
A wide range of activities are carried out in pursuance of the charitable aims and objectives. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit to the wider community.
Community Programs
The Foundation runs many community projects throughout the year, including Majalis, cultural and heritage events; poverty assistance; community organising and awareness; social welfare advice and support services; bereavement advice and support services; marriage and family counselling services; mental health and wellbeing services; programs for the elderly; sports programs; youth programs; and school holiday programs.

Education
The Foundation's education projects throughout the year included Alridha Schools Supplementary school; Hawza studies; tuition booster classes; and adult language classes. Alridha Schools Supplementary school was set up for children to learn and extend their knowledge on their identity and culture. The school welcomes students from different backgrounds and ethnicities. The first school was established in 2002, where the number of students was only 27. This number started increasing due to the demand amongst the community and lack of Saturday classes for children. As the years went on more students registered. The classes start from reception, going all the way to year seven and are for both boys and girls. They are separated into classes according to their language ability and gender. The aims of the school are to motivate and assist students to progress academically as well as encourage them to strengthen their spirituality. It also encourages students to study and learn through the different methods set by the school. The school provides the students with opportunities to take part in a variety of of self-development activities such as one-to- one private tutoring, open discussions held by professional mentors and inspirational speakers. Every school year comprises of a sports day, outings, and end of year fair. We are pleased to announce that Alridha Schools achieved the Advanced level of all eight standards assessed by the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education! You can view a copy of the NCRSE Quality Mark Report: https: Tuition booster classes were a key service provided to young people by the foundation during the year as schools went into lockdown and many children struggled with online learning. Our KS1, KS2 and KS3 tuition classes were widely utilised and assisted many young people during this time.

The desecration of heritage and heritage sites has been on-going for centuries especially now in present times, as a result of warfare and targeting by extremist ideologies all over the Middle East. Alridha Foundation aims to raise awareness, through varying methods, of the impending threat to sensitive heritage sites across the Middle East. As there is a huge lack of awareness and understanding many heritage sites are destroyed by its own local communities as they develop economically. Further support in heritage preservation by the Foundation includes manuscript preservation and cataloguing; supporting institutions and organisation in the Middle East who work in this field; and development and support of local libraries.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 May 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Short leasehold property - 7% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line Equipment - 25% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
