Message from our leadership
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
As we reflect upon the achievements of the year 2025, it is with great satisfaction and enthusiasm that we share the significant progress made by Arrahman Community Centre.
Our esteemed leaders have collaboratively established a new set of goals, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, marking a bold and comprehensive initiative. The impact we have had on shaping and articulating these goals is a testament to our collective influence. Additionally, witnessing the valuable contributions of our new members has been particularly gratifying.
Undoubtedly, the aspirations set forth are more challenging than any we have encountered before. These objectives will not only lead us into uncharted territories within the community but also drive us to confront the most formidable challenges faced by children, addressing discrimination at every level.
In light of our heightened ambitions, we acknowledge the imperative to evolve into a highperforming organisation. This necessitates a relentless pursuit of effectiveness, efficiency, and the elimination of internal complexities and costs to realize our goals.
Looking ahead to the next three years, our commitment remains steadfast. We are resolute in our pursuit of achieving results at scale. Within this timeframe, we aspire to elevate the quality of our programming through the development and implementation of common, proven approaches. These approaches will be thoughtfully adapted to local contexts where necessary, spanning our two thematic areas:
Providing religious education to community members. Tackling child poverty.
As we embark on this transformative journey, your continued dedication and support are invaluable. Together, we shall navigate these challenges and contribute meaningfully to the betterment of our community.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Arrahman Community Centre Slough
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsbile for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - 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 - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My 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 statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
