Al Mahadul Islami Report of the Trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 30 April 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the organisation are:

(a) to promote the advancement of religion, in accordance with the principals of Islam.

(b) to establish and maintain the mosque building and its grounds.

(c) to promote Islam through education, cultural and leisure time activities for the local community.

Objectives and aims

The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity, like everyone around the world, was affected by COVID19. It was unable to provide the usual services to the community due to the social distancing rules in force at the time which lasted for aproximately 7 months. It had to improvise where it could.

The charity carried out the following activities for the benefit of the public in the year:

The charity provided counselling and support services for the local community. For majority of the year these were either virutal or via telephone. The services were much needed as members of the immediate community were deeply affected by COVID19 and required guidance and counselling. This service was available everyday of the week. As soon as lockdown was relaxed, the charity welcomed the community in line with social distancing guidelines.

During lockdown, classes for children were held online. The classes were provided for children to understand Islam and the Quran and also to give spiritual guidance during the COVID19. The classes were held 5 days a week. Children were encouraged to learn the values of Islam and to acheive better cohesion in society. The classes were subsidised to make it easy for every child to attend. Extra classes for girls commenced in the year catering for older girls.

During the year the charity raised funds for the purchase of a building. The title of the bulding is held by Al Mahad Charitable Trust and is to be used for relevant charitable purposes.

Investment performance

Despite COVID19, the chairty realised a 28% return on its investment in unlisted share investments in the year. This exceeded the charity's expectations for the year. Upon review, there are no signs of impairment in the investment and returns should be realised in the future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use be maintained and grown. From this the trustees plan to undertake further capital projects for the benefit of the charity.

The reserves are to be maintained at a level which would help sustain the charity in the event of no donations being received for a minimum of 1 year. The minimum level has been agreed at £85,000 based on the previous year's expenditure as the current year included non-recurring expenditure.

Financial review

The trustees consider the financial performance by the organisation during the year has been satisfactory.

The Statement of Financial Activities show net outgoing resources for the year of a revenue nature of £179,578 (expenditure) and net realised incoming resources of £716,227 (income). The total reserves at the year end after reserving for unrealised losses stand at £2,429,397.

The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the association during the year and the position at 30 April 2021. The trustees consider that the association is in a strong position and are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the association into future

Al Mahadul Islami Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 April 2021

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011.

Al Mahadul Islami meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Statement of cash flows

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charity is small.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure:

Allocation and appointment of costs

Costs are allocated and apportioned to each activity accrording to the nature of each cost. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated direct to that activity. Shared costs which conrtibute directly to more than one activity are apportioned between those activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Fixtures and fittings 20% Reducing balance

Current asset investments

Unlisted Investments are included at cost less impairment.
