Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governing document
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
1) The charity aims to provide the general public the ability to
empower themselves by educating them about social life. The
charity provides the community with an open place to come and
receive various community support and pastoral care.
2) The promotion of religious harmony for the benefit of the public
by: A) Educating visitors, members, and the general public on the
different religious beliefs including a distinct awareness of one’s
own religion’s features/morals and their common ground in social
and human life to promote good respect and relations between
people of different faiths, cultures and theoretical dispositions.
B) Promoting importance of education and knowledge, including
mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs of different
religious faiths and non-religious cultures of no faith.
The organisation aims to achieve its objectives by running an open
community centre. It aims first and foremost to provide educational
support for both adults and teenagers so that they can use these skills to
have a better quality of life. By having a community centre as a hub for
the general public to come and learn various skills, the organisation also
provides a platform for the unemployed to get into work.
Local youth also benefit from having an open area where they can come
and make use of their time. A safe place where they can enjoy social
activities and socialise by playing games, planning outdoor activities,
attending workshops and seminars to help in building their lives (ie
financial planning/strategy for young adults, educational and career
support). The young adults are also given opportunities to take part in
organising community events to help build their skills. Similarly, the
organisation runs small focus groups for the elderly as to what they would
like to see in the community and holds regular tea clubs and activities
giving them a safe place to meet and interact with friends and meet new
people.
The organisation also runs mediation services for families that have
various difficulties in their family life. The centre runs drop-in sessions or
by appointment for individuals to seek religious advice and where
possible help reconcile depending the specific help they need. Where
there is a need to sign-post to the relevant authorities, senior staff
members have been trained to sign-post to the relevant departments
areas of help in Tower Hamlets and beyond.
The centre has also made available to the public a small library and a
centre for Arabic Language along with a community club to the public.
Language Courses in the evenings and weekends have been developed
and facilitated throughout the year.

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Continuation and improvement of educational services for adults: 1) Language courses Student numbers began to resume back to numbers before the Pandemic, especially towards the latter part of 2021. 2) Islamic Education Short courses on Islamic education have continued and are open to the public that have seen over 250+ attendees to the various short, and longterm courses. This includes both classes aimed at students 8-16 and 16 plus. The courses focus on social aspects of life and religion in the modern world and integrating into a pluralistic society. Courses began resuming back at the Centre.

3) Work Related Opportunities

The centre offers the public the help to find work. This includes CV and interview workshops and helping find work experience. The organisation also offered work experience and volunteering opportunities as a stepping-stone into careers and important admin or project-based experience. Training in basic life skills and career advice is offered too. As people began to go back into studies and work the demand for educational and work related advice sessions increased very much. 4) Youth Opportunities The centre has a small youth group that has run with over 80 current youth enjoying the facilities available to them. The Youth Group gives opportunities to gain advice from professionals to nurture positive thinking and hard-working ethics to set high goals and achieve higher in education and develop their careers. There is strong effort to educate them about crime and drug prevention and general contribution to society with Islamic ethos and morals. The above activities were tailored to the situation with the pandemic. Advice on online courses and personal development was given to young people, as they became more open to coming out and the 3[rd] innoculation was given – students wanted to meet and socialise much more than ever before. 5) Mediation Services The centre helped mediate family problems amongst many of whom are from Tower Hamlets. This had increased due to the pandemic due people living together at home for long periods. Support was given through telephone/video conferencing, this continued throughout 2021.

6) Guidance & furthering authentic Islamic Education Many parents and enthusiastic students from the public who wish to learn about Islam and its correct teachings attend the drop-in advice sessions and lectures with the centre’s instructors and advisors for advice on long term goals and aims. This is one of the centre’s core projects and achievements and the centre has had support from the local community for this service. Advice sessions online and talks by our Imams and lectures were given on Islamic spirituality to deal with anxiety, depression and spiritual needs.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The charity’s policy on reserves is that the cash held at the centre on hand, is the reserve set in case of sudden emergencies. If, however, there would not be sufficient reserves, then the policy would be to go to the members of the public to fundraise on a large scale. As many of the local charities do this, we, currently at Centre of Islamic Guidance, are trying our utmost best to be self-sufficient and trying to avoid large scale public fundraising unless we see a project with CIG that can be of a huge benefit to the public or to achieve one of the wider charitable objects.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

Most funding comes through both public donors and nominal charges for courses as well as lecture room, classrooms and hall hire from locals to help fund and run the centre.
