Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31 December 2023

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in . The address of the registered office is 255-259 Commercial Road, London, E1 2BT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the provisions of FRS 102, Section 1A, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of discounts and Value Added Tax.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods); the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

Taxation

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2023

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.

Impairment

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Notes to the financial statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2023

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

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.

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 70 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.
