Achievements and Performance

· Another year has flown by, SubhanAllah!

· Reflecting on 2023 is by no means easy, considering what has happened and is still happening this year. Our hearts and Du’as go out to all those suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Afghanistan and all over the world.

· With the global atmosphere being harsh and horrific, it can be easy to undermine our small gains. At Inspirited Minds, with your support and the support of Allah, we have managed to help so many people with emphasis on our consistency to strive for our mission. Here is a summary of all that we achieved this year!

Outreach

· Alhamdulillah, 2023 was our most successful year in terms of consistency with our Masterclasses, and responding to speaker requests and we also reached tremendous heights with our community engagement this year, mashAllah!

· Conducted 8 out of 11 successful planned masterclasses (1 was cancelled due to team sickness and 2 were cancelled due to the ongoing issues in Palestine and will be rearranged in 2024, In Shaa Allah) with approximately 120 attendees in total.

· Our facilitators were almost always rated as very good or excellent.

· All attendees felt they are either likely or very likely to use the skills and knowledge learnt in the session

· Received 26 external requests this year, 2 of which were requests to co-design research and sit on advisory boards in the community. 18 out of 26 were accepted and successfully fulfilled, 2 of which are planned for early 2024, In Shaa Allah. We were unable to fulfil 1 request due to team unavailability and the remaining 7 were either cancelled by organisers or the organisers, unfortunately disengaged. We approximate total number of attendees of all of the external requests to be close to 1000 mashAllah!

· Made contact with almost 100 Masaajid in London and Birmingham which has lead to multiple successful and upcoming collaborations.

· Distributed our resources to 18 different community settings, including our leaflets, information about our counselling services, and our toolkits which have been received by approximately 1200 beneficiaries, Alhamdulillah.

What people said:

· “Thank you for creating this , may Allah reward you all for making me aware of these topics that I had no knowledge before, Ameen 🙂”

· “I loved the fact that there was leaflets highlighting key issues. Structure was very good. Picked out ayahs of Quran and gave their significance and related it back to the topic. Very warm and friendly workshop lead, so the meaning and message was put in a clear and easy to understand manner.”

· “On behalf of myself and my participants, I wanted to express our sincerest gratitude for your participation as a guest speaker at my workshop yesterday. Your contribution was invaluable, and I received positive feedback from my participants. Your experience in working therapeutically and integrating religion in therapy with Muslim clients was inspiring, your presentation was informative, and your insights generated interesting discussion amongst my participants. Again, we are deeply grateful for your time and for sharing your expertise with us. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future Insha'Allah.”

Support

· 2023 saw the start of our most demanded service yet, our unique support groups that offer Islamic mental health support, perspectives and insight. With special thanks to Islamic Relief UK for providing us with funding to get the project off the ground, we have seen a huge success and a big appetite from the Muslim community for more. This year we:

· Developed 3 support groups, Depression, ROCD and Generalised Anxiety.

What to look forward to in 2024:

· Lots of content on our theme of the year: Suicide within Muslim communities.

· A huge JazakAllah Khayr to everyone who attended our consultations and shared their feedback on this theme. We hope to take your feedback and create:

· If you did not get a chance to share your ideas, opinions and feedback, please do so here.

· Exciting Podcast Episodes.

· We have an incredible line-up of guest speakers that we cannot wait to publish! We do need a video editor to help our team though, so if you would like to work for a good cause, please apply here.

· Monthly Masterclasses, online and hybrid.

· We aim to deliver monthly masterclasses, excluding Ramadan, and aim to have 4 out of 11 online, and the remaining 7 hybrid. We have invested in better equipment to ensure it is a better experience for all that join in-person and online.

· Accredited training.

· Our team has worked incredibly hard in 2023 to develop a training course for Imams and Community Leaders and healthcare providers as part of their CPD and we are hoping to get it accredited and ready to deliver in mid-late 2024 In Shaa Allah. We are also aiming for another unique and exciting training course that will be readily available for the public also.

· Due to the success and demand of our support groups, we aim to continue to deliver them back to back in 2024 In Shaa Allah, with a mixture of online and in-person ones to cater for all types of audiences and locations. We will be repeating current ones we have and also announcing 2 new ones.

· Exciting New Book Club Sessions.

· Due to the huge interest in our book club, we will be continuing sessions once every 2 months with topical books and features authors as guests. Our next one is in February and features Palestinian Author Jehan Helou who penned a book on the stories of Palestinian women. If you want to feature as an author OR suggest a book, please get in touch.

· Lots of Fundraising Events.

· In an attempt to connect more with local communities, we will be holding more varied and fun events this year, so please do keep checking our socials for more information on this. If you would like to fundraise for a good cause, then reach out to us and we’ll get you set up.

· Keep an eye out for us.

· As part of our ongoing community engagement efforts, our community engagement workers will be doubling up their efforts to attend community awareness/health days, community events and getting into more masaajid. If you want us to attend an event or hold a stall at an upcoming community event, then get in touch.

· And so much more.

From our team to you, we would like to thank you for all your continued support during this difficult year. Insha'Allah, the Almighty blesses this new year with compassion, Shifaa (healing) and Rahma (Mercy) in all your endeavours, Ameen!

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1st January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment Gains and Losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

INSPIRITED MINDS

(Charitable Incorporated Organisation)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with Performance Conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.

Unrestricted funds

These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Restricted funds

These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of appeals for special offerings for specific purposes.

Designated funds

These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for particular purposes or projects.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows:

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment

25% - Reducing Balance Basis

2. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

The CIO held no fixed assets during this or the previous financial year.

The annual commitments under non-cancelling operating leases and capital commitments are as follows: 31st December 2023 : None

31st December 2022 : None

The Charity employs members of staff on a self employed basis under a Contract for Services and is therefore not liable for Tax and National Insurance Payments for these contracts. No employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000.

13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES

During the financial period Trustee Saeed Nasser received £400 (2022: £550) for providing supervision session services for Inspirited Minds in furtherance of the Charity's objects.

No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them.

14. RISK ASSESSMENT

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

15. RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

16. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/ members of Inspirited Minds on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2023 set out on pages 10 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

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 matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
