Our Values

Conscious - being aware of the Almighty in all aspects and times of their life. Respect - being respectful to all those who are around them. Honesty - being honest in all aspects of their life.

As our organisation grows, it is essential that we ensure our local community understands our morals and values.

Our values are the core of everything we do at Madressa Mahmoodia, in our aim to help the local community and the Ummah as a whole.

Madressa Mahmoodia aims to create a cohesive Islamic environment to educate, enrich and empower our students through positive experiences and interactions with teachers of knowledge.

Our students are our vision, and we believe their time at Madressa should shape their character and provide them with a firm grasp of the principles of Islam, preparing them for the different challenges they may face in the future.

Madressa strives to provide knowledge in a fun, loving environment. We want our students to love the place they acquire Islamic knowledge. We want them to take these positive experiences and cherish them into their adult life.

We want to prepare all our students spiritually, academically and to distinguish themselves up to their potential; enabling them to handle the rigors of life with Islam at the forefront of their minds.

We will engage and educate the young generation to know their Creator and make sure they are equipped to live in this society, confidently as Muslims.

Our Vision

We Learn

We Practise

Inspiration

We aim to enlighten our students with knowledge, good morals and

exceptional character, taught from the Qur’aan and Sunnah, which will help them in this world and ultimately help them and everyone they meet in the future.

Adaptability

We are creative and adaptive, willing to listen to new ideas for the benefit of the Madrassa, the community and the Ummah.

Community Care

The welfare of our community is of a high importance to us. Through resolve and integrity, we aim to always put our community first.

Trustees’ Statement

Trustees statement

All praise to The Almighty who has granted us, the community, the opportunity to be a part of this establishment for another year.

First and foremost, I would like to thank all the teachers, students, parents, volunteers and donors for being part of this rewarding cause.

Although the Madressa no longer has any outstanding debt, the increase of energy prices has resulted in the Madressa still requiring donations to run.

We are confident that with clear, considerate and informative appeals that show our community the result of their donations, we will continue to have their duas and financial backing.

I would like to thank all our donors, volunteers, staff and supporters for all their hard work patience and efforts during this year. May The Almighty reward you all abundantly.

Aameen

Notes to the Accounts

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

1. 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.

2. Accounting policies

Income

Income from charitable activities and voluntary donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to that category.

Depreciation

All assets costing more than £1000 are capitalised and at historic cost. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

The freehold properties are valued at historic cost and not depreciated, as the Madressa and Mahmoodia Centre are considered to have a useful life of over 50 years.

Buildings are maintained to ensure that their value does not diminish over time. In the opinion of the trustees any depreciation charge would therefore be immaterial and has not been made. Maintenance costs are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year incurred.

Equipment and fittings 15% straight line where appropriate.

This is the first year the charity has prepared its accounts under the SORP FRS 102 framework. As a result, depreciation on buildings and capital expenditure has been introduced and applied (where applicable) from the current financial year onwards. No prioryear adjustments for depreciation have been made.

Restricted/Unrestricted funds

The charity does not allocate any of its income or expenditure as restricted or unrestricted; therefore, all income and expenditure is treated as unrestricted.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to:

(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;

have not been met; or

(b) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
