3 Activities
3.1 Statutory Declaration
The Trustees of the Eid Celebration Committee confirm that they have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
3.2 Changes in Charity Objects
1Eid always had the intentions to be global and fulfil our aims of social inclusion and bringing communities together. Our platform has been used successfully to make awareness of those less fortunate and thus we feel we can serve both purposes through our donors, to give people their basic human needs (food/water/shelter / education/ healthcare) but also the human need of joy, hope and community which is just as important.
Our donors want to support the work we are doing here in the UK but also want us to support those abroad as this is the very essence of Eid itself to want for others what you want for yourself. This request had been made to us consistently thus felt right that the charity moved in this direction to achieve its purpose.
The original objects were created in 2011 with the intention of always being able to fulfil this expansion into giving the gift of Eid to those less fortunate. The requirement of the objects needed to be updated to be more detailed and in line with the direction our charity is evolving into organically.
The benefits it will bring to the charity are the following;
-
Fulfilling the demands of growth from our donors and supporters
-
More exposure and appreciation, thus more donations towards the charity projects
-
Increasing awareness and fame for the charity's vision
-
Attracting more support from business, people of interest
-
Attracting more volunteers in our work who will now feel like they can support two causes of helping
-
their community and the less fortunate.

4 Achievements & Performance
4.1 Outputs and Outcomes for the Charity's Beneficiaries
2021 saw covid restrictions slowly lifting. It was challenging however, 1Eid manage to host the Eid prayer and celebrations once again. With the efforts of our team, we orchestrated a safe and successful event.
2021 also saw the launch of 1Eid Afghan Refugee campaign alongside Harrow Council. We called upon the community to donate to support families newly arriving to the UK seeking safety. The drive was extremely successful with many Afghan families being welcomed into the community and given essentials for living as well as helping children and women integrate via learning English. Alongside this drive 1Eid Harrow team was formed hosting its first ever Eid festival at Harrow recreation park, welcoming the refugee families with a celebration of Afghan culture with the wider community.
In the beginning of 2022, 1Eid hosted its conference tour with great success. Each venue held over 400 attendees for its one-day conference with speakers and ulema from across the country.
4.2 How the Public Have Benefitted.
(1) United Kingdom
(a) Offering support and space for refugees welcoming them into society.
(b) Inviting and educating other to learn the essence and beauty of Islam in multiple parks for purposes of community cohesion and unity.
(c) Supporting vulnerable families in the local community with essential needs during the month of Ramadan and Eid
(d) providing education classes both online and events for the public to resume in learning about the teachings of Islam
5 Financial Review
5.1 Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit
The Charity has no funds which are materially in deficit.
5.2 Policy on Reserves
The Charity's policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a balance which is sufficient: a) to preserve the financial viability of the Charity in the event that unforeseen and/or unavoidable circumstance precipitate a short-term fall in its income;
Page 4
EID CELEBRATION COMMITTEE
Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
b) to enable the Charity, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to undertake from time to time the setting up of new and innovative projects on a pilot basis to demonstrate the viability and potential benefits of such activities as a precursor to securing the external funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis.
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserve has been maintained throughout the year.
5.3 Principal Sources of Funding and Outgoings
Our charity projects are funded in the following ways.
-
Volunteers with skills save the charity costs.
-
Ex: accounts, web design, event management
-
Patrons who share our vision and wish to see our mission accomplished support us regularly.
-
Donors who like our individual projects and donate where and when they can
-
Fundraising events and stalls to generate income.
The Eid celebration committee does it best to ensure donation money only go towards the projects being run. Expenses such as staff costs/ wages, storage and sundries are covered by gift aid mostly. Staff wages are also covered by donations made from services provided by our speakers who do not take fees but instead request the honorariums to be paid towards Eid Celebration Committee to cover running costs.
5.4 Remuneration of Trustees
All Trustees act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from their services to the Charity.
Out-of-pocket expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by Trustees in promoting the purposes of the Charity are reimbursed at cost.
5.5 Financial Status
The Eid Celebration Committee's current resources from unrestricted donations are more than sufficient to meet its outgoings for at least next year.
All the indications are that this will remain the case for the foreseeable future.
5.6 Statutory Statements on Liabilities
The Trustees declare that:
-
The charity has given no guarantees where potential liability under the guarantee is outstanding at the date of this statement (eg: any outstanding/ongoing contract or legal undertaking to buy or provide specific services)
-
The charity has no debt outstanding at the date of this statement which is owed and which is secured by an express charge on any assets of the charity (eg: a mortgage on property owned by the charity)
