Birds of Paradise (TJ) Charity Reference Number: 1144208

Trustee's Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2022

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Principal Activity and Objectives

The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was to provide religious education to special educational needs (SEN) children and adults.

The objectives, as defined by the Charity Constitution, are:

  1. To advance the education of children of all ages particularly those with special educational needs, by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities and services to meet their educational, developmental and social welfare needs so that they can achieve their full potential.

  2. To advance the education of the public in relation to special educational needs.

  3. The promotion of social inclusion among children with special educational needs and their families by: a) providing education and information to support and enable them to maximise their children's educational opportunities;

b) raising public awareness of the issues affecting children with special educational needs and their families;

c) providing workshops, forums and general support.

  1. To promote such other exclusively charitable purposes as the trustees see fit, provided that they are regarded as charitable by the law of England and Wales.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Constitution was adopted 1st September 2007 and the charity consist of 4 trustees. Trustees are appointed or reappointed at the Annual General Meeting held annually in September.

Achievements and performance

Please see below Project report for August 2021 to September 2022

Our total income for the financial year was £190,415 (2020: £5,852).

Future Plans

The charity is continuing to work towards establishing a purpose built centre. In addition, the charity has trained numerous teachers in SEN.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined the operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Financial Review

The main source of the charity's income is via donations received from public and regular donors via the charity website. The charity also has a credit balance at the bank, which is available for use by the trustees for everyday expenses like stationery, advertising and travel costs. These funds are also available to support other similar charities.

Trustee's Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2022

The Reserve Fund represents unrestricted funds and restricted funds. The Trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserves so as to give flexibility to cover temporary timing differences for donations received, adequate working capital for core costs and which will allow them to respond quickly to the needs of the Charity.

- Project report Aug 2021 September 2022

Tuyoorul Jannah was established to promote the inclusion of individuals with SEND within the community. Since it’s inception in 2007, it has followed a person centred approach to meet the holistic needs of learners, including a focus on their religious and cultural requirements. Initially, commencing as a small weekly afterschool club for 6 learners the organisation has grown and now serves learners from a variety of backgrounds and age ranges, with sessions being held on a daily basis.

The current intake comprises of both male and female learners aged from 4 upwards. There is no upper age limit with the eldest service user currently in his 40s. We believe nothing should be a barrier to learning and cater for a wide variety of needs. These range from neurological conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism to physical impairments such as nystagmus, muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy to name but a few. We strongly believe in Einstein's quote ‘Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, It will live its whole life believing that it is stupid’ and as such try to work with the strengths of each individual we have the privilege to serve, to bring out their ‘genius’. Alhumdulillah with this ‘can do’ philosophy and our unique way of teaching, this year some of our learners have progressed onto mainstream madrasah with Tuyoorul Jannah providing them with the springboard to build a firm foundation for their futures.

2021-2022 was a very busy year for us at Tuyoorul Jannah! Alongside our learners curricular studies, we have organised and carried out a plethora of activities to aid with their holistic development to allow them to make a positive contribution to the society in which they live. In addition to this we have also hosted and attended events in partnership with other organisations to raise awareness of SEND within the community. Some of the highlights of our academic year at Tuyoorul Jannah (TJ) are listed below:

Trustee's Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2022

Trustees' responsibilities

The Charities Act require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Birds of Paradise (TJ) Charity Reference Number: 1144208 Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion on the Accounts

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

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 attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; and

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Birds of Paradise (TJ) Charity Reference Number: 1144208 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005 and the Charities Act 2011.

Recognition of incoming resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: - the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

Incoming resources with related expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the coming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has been given notification of entitlement is received and the amount receivable can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are in included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Gift in kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.

Donated services and facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Birds of Paradise (TJ) Charity Reference Number: 1144208 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:-

Plant and machinery Land and Property

25% reducing balance

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors

Creditors and provision are measured and accounted for in accordance with usually accepted accruals principles.

Taxation

As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applied towards the charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
