## **Trustee's Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 202 4**
## **Organisational Structure**
The charity’s executive committee are responsible for the day to day, general control and management of the charity. The elected members of the committee give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The executive committee meet together on a regular basis and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running of the Mosque and the facilities provided by the charity.
## **Activities and Achievements**
The charity completed the construction project of the ground and first floor at North View, which has been built for the purpose of running Islamic and cultural classes.
The funds generated in the year were spent on the maintenance project of North View and the running of the education classes.
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The management trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at our Mosque and the wider community of Dewsbury.
Prayers: The Mosque is open every day for daily and Friday prayers. During the week we have over 125 people who regularly attend daily prayers and over 300 who regularly attend Friday prayers.
Festivals: The Mosque provides light food and refreshments during the holy month of Ramadan for those attending our Mosque and who wishes to break their fast together.
Funeral facilities: The Mosque provides a free funeral service in line with the teachings of Islam. We relieve the deceased’s bereaved relatives of the burden of organising burials.
Nikkah: The Mosque provides Muslim couples with an appropriate location for Nikkah (Islamic marriage).
Hifz classes: Memorisation of the Qur’an is considered an important element of religious education and training. We continue to provide this facility for the young people in the Mosque. We are pleased this programme which continues to run successfully
Fitness Circuit Training: Weekly fitness circuit training is delivered every Monday or Wednesday by a qualified fitness instructor; this is open to all who wish to attend.
Events and Talks: The Mosque has hosted a series of events and talks to the local community delivered by prominent UK Scholars and Community Leaders.

Ladies Coffee Mornings: Occasionally a ladies coffee gathering takes on site and through this meeting they teach and share Islamic knowledge and socialise with one another.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to major risks.
## **Reserves policy**
The Reserve Fund represents unrestricted funds and restricted funds. The Trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserves so as to give flexibility to cover temporary timing differences for donations that are received, adequate working capital for core costs and which will allow them to respond quickly to the needs of the Charity.
## **Trustees' responsibilities**
The Charities Act require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus of the charity for that
period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Savile Town Surtee Welfare Society Charity Commission Reference No: 1152289 Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion on the Accounts**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 202 4
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under (under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have 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 130 of the Charities Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; and
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Donations and Grant
Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in incoming resources when these are receivable except as follows:-
When donors specify that donations and grants given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use of such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the preconditions for use have been met.
When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital gains, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.
## Interest receivable
Interest is included when receivable by the charity.
## Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources expended in the SOFA.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:-

As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applied towards the charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose.
