ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

How our activities deliver public benefit

The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit to the community in and around the Kingsbury (London) area. We have identified and established a learning centre at a new location to provide its learning activities for the benefit of the local community.

Religious and Social Activities

Our trust provides a base for various local activities associated with our faith and culture. During the period under review, we offered a range of social and religious activities including:

Social Activities

Our family funfair at local High School provided the local community an ideal opportunity to gather with their family and friends in the summer for a special day out with kids, which brought together whole community to strengthen the ties among the families as part of their social needs, this included special CPR training, sports activities and traditional food & clothing stalls etc.

Ramadan and EID: During the Ramadan period we have made special arrangements to perform Tharaweeh prayers for ladies and gents including special talks in the locality. We also arranged Ramazan breakfast arrangements for the community where the families could get together for breakfast, we have also extended our activities during the EID periods by arranging EID prayers and other social get together.

Regular programmes/Islamic Lectures/Ladies Circles: We have organised special Islamic lectures delivered by learned scholars on various subjects, which aims to provide a wider knowledge to the members of the Muslim community on bringing up their children, parent and children relationship, promote social cohesion and also to advance education.

Prayers: Daily and Friday prayer arrangements at hired locations in the locality, this provides the opportunity for the local community to do their regular prayers in the locality and maintain their spiritual and religious belief, it is noted that around 250 people attend regularly for Friday prayers.

Children/Youth Activities: We have organised our local community various children’s stage performancebased events and career guidance & other youth development programmes.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of KINGSBURY ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTRE-LONDON

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 6 to 9.

I report on the financial statements of the Charity, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective January 2007 , adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2008 as modified in June 2008. (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 3 , the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. Consequently, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: -

Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken

I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records k e p t by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales ( effective April 2008 ), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report, I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
