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 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 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 religiousfaiths andnon-religious cultures of nofaith.

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 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 on 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 department’s 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.

Achievements andperformance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Continuation and improvement of educational services for adults: 1) Language courses Open to both female and male, beginners, to advanced level. 2) Islamic Education Short courses on Islamic education have continued and are open to the public that have seen over 400 attendees to the various short, and long- term 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. 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. 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. 5) Mediation Services The centre helped mediate family problems amongst many of whom are from Tower Hamlets. Family disputes where possible that could be mitigated and solved if the there was no danger posed to the affected families, if there was a need for signposting to relevant authorities this was done, including, if needed help with educating about legal options if needed. Advice on social domestic problems between siblings and family (as part of communal Islamic Education). 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. Along with the importance of having a social connection in society and a positive outlook towards society. Mental Health issues many a time have been resolved with basic social education from Islamic Teachings. Although where necessary and clear professional help is required, the centre signposts to the relevant institutions.

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. 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.
