## **Trustees’ Report**
By the grace and mercy of The Almighty, 2024 was another remarkable and productive year at Madressa Mahmoodia. The year was filled with community initiatives, fundraising efforts, and educational programs that strengthened the bond between students, parents, and the wider community.
Below is a summary of key events and activities undertaken during 2024:
## **January – Palestine Emergency Appeal**
The year began with a heartfelt appeal for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. The Madressa community came together with compassion and generosity, donating towards emergency relief efforts to support those suffering under difficult circumstances.
## **May – Annual Tawa and BBQ Fundraiser**
Our highly anticipated Annual Tawa and BBQ Fundraiser was a huge success, _Alhamdulillah_ . The event brought together students, families, and local supporters for a day filled with good food, unity, and generosity. Through the collective efforts of everyone involved, a total of **£7,714** was raised. An incredible achievement that reflects the ongoing community spirit that Madressa Mahmoodia is built upon.
## **May – Litter Picking Campaign**
As part of our community care initiatives, the early years students took part in a litter picking campaign. The children learned about the importance of keeping our surroundings clean and tidy, and then put these lessons into practice by participating in a local community clean-up.
It was a valuable hands-on experience that combined learning with action and fostered a sense of civic responsibility among our youngest students.
## **May–June – Charity Walks**
During May and June, our students, parents, and staff participated in _four_ charity walks:
- Two walks at **Scammonden Reservoir** ,
6
- One at **Edale** , and
- One at **Crow Nest Park** .
Together, these walks raised an astounding **£23,347.98** . This achievement reflects the enthusiasm and determination of our students, as well as the continued support from parents and the wider community. We are extremely proud of their collective effort and dedication.
## **June – Interactive Hajj Session**
An engaging _Interactive Hajj Experience_ was organised for the students to help them understand and appreciate the rituals and significance of Hajj. The session included demonstrations of the days of Hajj, including resembling spending a night in Mina, pelting at Jamaraat, and experiencing Arafat. Students greatly benefited from this immersive learning experience, which deepened their understanding of one of the pillars of Islam.
## **June – Eid Bake Sale**
Our annual _Eid Bake Sale_ was once again a joyful and successful event. Students, teachers, and parents contributed a range of home-made and storebought sweet treats.
Through the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved, **£2,001.83** was raised.
## **July – Hifz Completion Ceremony**
In July, we celebrated the remarkable achievement of **seven students** who completed the memorisation of the Holy Qur’an.
The ceremony was a deeply emotional and proud occasion, attended by family members, teachers, and fellow students. May The Almighty grant the Huffaaz steadfastness in preserving the Qur’an in their hearts and living by its guidance.
## **July – End of Year Trips**
To mark the end of the academic year, our students enjoyed exciting trips to _Mission Out_ and _Krazy Kingdom_ . These outings provided a fun and welldeserved break for students after months of hard work and dedication.
7
## **August – Sports Day**
Our annual _Sports Day_ was filled with energy, smiles, and enthusiasm. Students and teachers enjoyed a fun-filled day that included games, races, and bouncy castles. The event was a reminder of the importance of balance between learning, physical activity, and enjoyment.
## **September – Maqraa of Hizb al A’zam Program**
A unique and spiritually uplifting event, the _Maqraa of Hizb al A’zam_ program, was held in September. Hundreds of prophetic and Qur’anic duaas were recited. This was a truly memorable occasion for all who attended.
## **October – Pinderfields Hospital MRI Suite Fundraiser**
In October, the Madressa community supported a local hospital initiative through the _Pinderfields Hospital MRI Suite Fundraiser_ . Students, teachers, and parents contributed towards this noble cause, demonstrating once again our shared commitment to serving not only our own community but also the wider society.
## **October – Parents’ Consultation**
Our _Parents’ Consultation_ sessions provided valuable opportunities for parents to meet teachers, discuss student progress, and share feedback face-to-face. This continues to strengthen the partnership between home and Madressa, ensuring that every child receives the best possible support in their learning journey.
## **December – Hifz Completion Ceremony**
The year concluded with yet another moment of joy and gratitude as **two more students** completed their Hifz of the Qur’an.

## **Madressa Mahmoodia**
## **Notes to the Accounts:**
Year end 31 December 2024
Note
- 1 **Accouting 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.
## **Fund structure**
The charity does not allocate any of its income or expenditure as restricted or unrestricted; therefore, all income and expenditure is treated as unrestricted, available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the charity objectives.
## **Incoming resources**
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 and liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of it's activities and services for the beneficiaries.
## **Creditors**
The charity has short and long term creditors which are measured at settlement amounts. In the prior year, £10,000 of repayments had been classified as expenditure; this has been corrected by a prior-year adjustment reducing brought-forward funds by £10,000.
## **Tangible Fixed Assets**
Equipment costing over £1,000 is capitalised and depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years, reflecting the estimated useful life of such assets. Where original purchase dates were not available, assets have been treated as additions in the current financial year at estimated cost.
## The freehold buildings are stated at cost.
No depreciation has been provided on the building as the trustees consider that the residual value of the property is not materially different from its cost and the asset has an indefinite useful life. The valuation and useful life of the property are reviewed annually.

## **MADRESSA MAHMOODIA CHARITY COMMISSION REFERENCE NO: 1146113**
## **TRUSTEES' FINANCIAL REPORT**
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
## **Statement of Trustees responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period.
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material - departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **MADRESSA MAHMOODIA CHARITY COMMISSION REFERENCE NO: 1146113**
**DATE:** 30 OCT 2025
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **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:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
(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:
- (a) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(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.
