CHAIR’S MESSAGE
Once again it gives me great pleasure to have been part of the West London Cultural Centre (WLICC). As trustees, we have admired the hard work that has been put in by the staff. This period has been a very challenging period for us as a charity. With the COVID19 impact, we have had to be very resilient in order to survive these unprecedented events in the modern era.
We firstly thank Allah (SWT) and then our staff and the community without whose support we would not have been able to continue our good work during the COVID19 crisis. Our core activities drastically changed over this period in March 2020, however we maintined various support projects in order to provide help and support to the community.
The WLICC aims to be a pioneer in the establishment of a true Islamic community Centre which is inclusive and serves the community in its widest sense possible.
Further, my fellow trustees have played an active role in guiding, steering and advising, and their vast experience has been critical for which I am grateful. I would also like to thank all the heads of section, without whom the charity could not have functioned effectively. During this year, we worked closed with the local council and followed government restrictions, in order to stop the spread of the COVID19 virus.
We plan to continue to further the work of the Mosque, as the COVID19 situation eases, by raising the standards of delivery of our services and events. Outreaching to the community and addressing their needs will be a key part of the work we do, the world has changed peoples have been impacted due to COVID19 and we need to provide support and help as we transition into the ‘new’ normal.

MANAGER’S REPORT
I have the pleasure of presenting this report to the trustees of the West London Islamic Cultural Centre for another year. This Trustee Annual and Accounts Report cover the period ending 31[st] December 2020 in which I have planned, supervised and directed activities during this challenging period.
We started the year as we usually do, the Mosque was active with classes for all segments of the community, Friday prayers and daily prayers. We had organised several youth activities, and some lectures from international speakers during January and February.
As the news spread of the Covid19 virus spreading it was clear this was not a light matter, and we as a community centre will effected and will need to play a role in stopping the spread.
The timeline of events were as follows:
-
We closed the Centre on the 19[th] March after extensive discussions with council and national Mosque bodies.
-
During this period we essential had to improvise and adjust the way we carried out our educational and community support activities.
-
We held an emergency Corna Virus public meeting in the Mosque as early as the 17[th] March with a very qualified panel of presenters.
-
Classes moved on line, we developed a volunteer base to reach out to the vulnerable groups; contacting them, and organising essential needs for them, during the isolation period.
-
Ramadhan came and went – a very different Ramadhan, which is traditionally the busiest time of the year for us.
-
We provided spiritual support with classes and lectures on-line
-
The financial element started to become of concern as donations, which we rely heavily on during Ramadhan simply dried up.
-
No Eid prayers were held, but we held an online community event to wish the community Eid Mubarak.
-
We used our time while the Mosque was in effect nonoperational to revamp in the interior, and to have deep cleans for all the areas in the building.
-
We developed and used our communication channels using social media platforms and our WhatsApp broadcast group.
-
20[th] July we had the partial opening. Social distancing, hand sanitizers, face masks, no food – all the local council rules were implemented, and managed very very carefully.
-
We were in close contact with the public health officer for Hammersmith and Fulham and also participated in several faith – forum discussions on how religious institutes were tackling this crisis and how we could further improve in stopping the spread of this virus.
-
We were able to celebrate the second Eid in a limited fashion as prayers were carried out under strict social distancing rules.
-
My team and I were constantly involved in informing the
West London Islamic Cultural Centre Annual Report and Financial Statement 2020
| P a g e 4
community of the spread of this deadly virus and also placed rules in the Mosque to follow the council rules.
-
In November we had the second lockdown which was expected given the rising numbers and cold weather.
-
Again we had close contact with the Hammersmith and Fulham authorities and made sure the community was informed of the regulations.
-
In Dec we had the second partial opening – with a very controlled environment, making sure all regulations and social distancing rules were in place.
I feel we have done well in this extraordinary turn of events. The limited staff (as many were on Furlough), and volunteers have been amazing. As a centre that relies on local donations we have been hit very hard, we are grateful to the Trustees for their support. However during this period we have undergone staff reductions and restructuring in order to absorb the financial challenges we are now facing. We continue to work hard and plan carefully so that the community needs are provided for in the best way possible.

Section 7 Department work, activities and achievements
7.1 Sisters Department
The Sisters Quran College was established more than 13 years ago, to serve the holy Quran and act as a means to connect Muslim sisters to the Quran. Our aim is to connect all Muslim sisters to the Qur’an by providing unique educational techniques which integrate the value and the influence of the Qur’an in their lives and enable them to become excellent reciters, prepared to pass on their teaching to future generations. The college has a structured programme for Qur’anic education. Students are assessed according to the levels to ensure that all abilities are catered for.
Our main programme which offers sisters the chance to learn correct Quran reading techniques and offers them lessons on memorising the whole Quran. This was a successful and well-attended programme, and we have had some great feedback from the students. In total we have 250 students split into 23 groups with 14 teachers.
We also offer the following courses: Arabic for Quran we have about 30 students currently and a Sunday circle, which is free and open to the community. A mixture of young sisters and adults enjoy the opportunity, in the masjid, every Sunday to learn about and read the Book of Allah.
As the Covid19 crisis unfolded we moved out lessons online and continued with supporting and teaching our students.

We held a successful event on 15[th] February about Mental Health and being successful. This was before the COVID19 crisis events unfolded.
We organised youth activities for both girls, in February. The idea was to give the girls a chance to socialise and develop their interests and hobbies in a fund environment.

With the Covid19 crisis Ramadhan was not the same. We continued our classes online, and facilitated activities online some are examples are below:
With the partial lock down we started to allow students to come to the centre, carefully making sre the foot flow was managed and all social distancing rules were in place. It was a much needed things for the students to be able to meet and see one another even though social distancing was in place.
We conducted an open circle for sisters, which was well attended, providing spiritual guidance and sisterhood during these difficult days. We also organised classes for those who did not want to come to the centre, due to the COVID19 situation – this was done via Zoom.
West London Islamic Cultural Centre Annual Report and Financial Statement 2020
| P a g e 14
We had meetings with the management and made sure there was provision for sisters during the partial uplifting of the lockdown. Our classes continued during this period from the last week of July until the second lockdown in November. Again we switched our classes online when this happened. Various celebrations were done online too.

We invited some well know speakers to the Mosque and the events were well attended. International speakers from USA, and well known speakers and histrorians from the UK.
These were our last few events before the COVID19 crisis. Once the lockdown period started, we then worked on setting up a youth wing of volunteers to help with outreaching the vulnerable people in our community. Classes were moved online, and we used the social platforms to disseminate information and guidance along with spiritual advice.
West London Islamic Cultural Centre Annual Report and Financial Statement 2020

Ahlul Quran Academy (AQA) activities
AQA is where we provide teaching so students can learn how to recite the Quran along with basic Islamic studies. Along with reciting the Quran students can also memorise, and develop the knowledge as growing muslims.
Classes are usually held on site, 4 times a week. However as soon as the council direction was given to close this was done and our classes moved online. This was a big transition for us, staff were trained and parents and students fully updated on the process so that they could continue learning. Our teachers adapted well, and after the initial adjusting phase we were able to provide this.
7 .3 Islamic Services and Support during COVID19
This is one of our core activities. The team have worked hard to make sure five daily prayers are organised. The weekly sermon in English and Arabic – where many people would come from around London to listen. People would often throughout the year want to talk to the imam to seek advice and help on a variety of issues. We would have a weekly open question and answer session to allow people to address issues of concern. Most of these services continued until the Covid19 crisis. Once the level of the calamity became clear we at WLICC took several intiatives to do the following given the crisis:
-
Keep the community well informed
-
Improve our social media outreach and increase electronic communication with the community.
-
Disseminate important government guidelines and advice
-
Move our classes online
-
Close the centre as directed by the government during the lockdown periods
-
Outreach to the vulnerable groups and provide support for them.
We were one of the early centres to draw attention to this issue, and held this emergency meeting, where we informed the community about the pending dangers of CVOID19. It was live streamed on our Facebook page too.

| P a g e 18
We provided contact numbers for people to get in touch with our different departments and also if people needed supported they were encouraged to get in touch with us. Again we used our social media platforms and our Whatsapp broadcast group.

When the first lockdown took place, we were part of the 17 Main Mosques in London meetings in which the closure due to covid19 was discussed in detail. We liased closely with our local council. This was a very sensitive period with high emotins and we worked together as a group in the interest of the community.
Our Social media content increased to reach out to the community, daily posts, and reminders were done by Trustees and staff. All with the aim to spiritually support the community and provide guidance at this critical time.

OUR IMAMS
SHEIKH SALAH TAIFOOR
Sheikh Salah has been with the WLICC since the very early days. He is the main Imam and an executive member of the board and a trustee. Over the years, he has gained immense respect from the community by delivering valuable knowledge in an accessible style. Sheikh Salah is seen as a father figure for the Muslim community in Hammersmith and Fulham. He is also an advisor to all staff members in WLICC.
Shaikh Salah was available on the phone for support and during the partial opening led the prayers and gave talks.
Funeral prayers
This has been an integral part of our services. We have a setup organised with local undertakers who prepare the body and send it to our mosque for funeral prayers. We have conducted numerous funeral prayers for people from all walks of life. We often send volunteers to help in the burial process particularly when there aren’t many family members of the deceased present. During Covid19 this was unable to funstion due to the strict government rules. At times one of our imams would go the graveyard to carru ot the funeral service if and when requested.
Marriage Solemnisation Ceremony
Through the year we have families and couples from different parts of London approach us to solemnise their marriages. We have a process where people book appointments. Due diligence is then subsequently done to making sure all parties meet residential requirements and consent to the marriage. We have a specially designated place where families can sit together and the ceremony is conducted. During Covid19 this was no happening, due to the strict goverement rules.

The Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law, and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS102)).
Under Charity Law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity, its income and application of resources of the Charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; to observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102).
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
-
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
So far as each of the Trustees at the date of this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware. Each Trustee has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have taken as a trustee to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditor is aware of that information.

Expenditure
A record decrease on expenditures, apparently, due to COVID-19 implications with the centre closure for many months there were not activities during those months, therefore the totla expenses decreased by 31% from £368k 2019 to £254K 2020.
The positive point is the decrease in expenses is £114 but the decrease in income was £60K, the result of that, the 2020 surplus is £22K, 25% higher than the 2019 surplus £5.6K.

Net assets
The balance sheet for the Charity shows net assets of £28K compared to 2019 £5.6k . The increase is due to reduction of expenditures 25% more the reduction in income which resulted in a surplus of £22K.
Tangible fixed assets
The changes in tangible fixed assets during the period are shown in Note 8 to the financial statements.
Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees has adopted a reserves policy to hold the equivalent of six to nine months' operational expenditure in reserve. This is a best practise as stipulated by the Practical Quality Assurance System for Small Organisations (PQASSO) quality mark guidelines. The actual free reserves in current assets at the end of the year were not enough to service the planned reserve policy and the board is working to improve this during the coming two years.

Trustees’ assessment of Going Concern
West London Islamic Cultural Centre is continueing to strengthen its financial sustainability, unfirtunatly, the organisation did not see much results of these efforts but it showed during 2021 on most of the operations.
The coronavirus pandemic for the year 2020 there is a general consensus that COVID-19 is a nonadjusting event. The charity has no loans liabilities, no debtors irrevocable, there was no need for terminating any employee’s contract.
As it was mentioned in previous year annual report, West London Islamic Cultural Centre did not use any of the government support packages such as grants and loans.
West London Islamic Cultural Centre will review of all areas of the Charity particularly those that are making operating deficits, reducing charitable expenditure. This will also enable the Charity to manage operational and financial risks successfully and to allow us to meet our strategic and operational goals over the short and the medium term.
The following assumptions are made in the financial projections.
-
The charity will be able to raise the voluntary income from donors and supporters which it has projected as there is an increasing number of supporters who are committed to continuing support for the charity. This was demonstrated during 2021 after lefting all government measures.
-
The organisation will focus on reviewing its cost base to ensure it is in line with its income projections.
Challenging envirnoment and risks are the main factors to increase uncertainty partically, during the reporting year and the years to follow after the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the board of trustees assessed the going concern of the charity and decided that there are not any signs that West London Islamic Cultural Centre is not a going concern entity.
The Board of Trustees has the responsibility to sign the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. The accounts were approved on the 21st of September 2020.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST LONDON ISLAMIC CULTURAL CENTRE
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 December 2020
I report on the accounts which are set out below
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees’
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act; and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act
2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended
Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2020
Note 1 &2 Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public benefit entity under Financial Reporting Standard 102, have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2015, the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006.
The Accounting Policies are consistent with the previous year. After reviewing the charity’s forecasts and projections, the trustees (who are the directors for the purposes of company law) have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies.
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.
No material prior year error has been identified in the reporting period.
Going Concern
The restrictions arising due to the pandemic did not materially impact the results for the financial year to 31 December 2020 but could impact the results of the years to come, primarily due to the economic implications of COVID-19, therefore, we have taken steps to mitigate the expected financial shortfall with the use of furlough and reduced hours together with cuts to discretionary spend lines, in addition to the ongoing change programme.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties which suggest the charity cannot continue as a going concern. The accounting policies have been consistently applied for all material items.
West London Islamic Cultural Centre Annual Report and Financial Statement 2020
| P a g e 42
b) Incoming resources
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when West London Islamic Cultural Centre is entitled to the funds, receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Gifts in Kind for which West London Islamic Cultural Centre accepts full responsibility for distribution are included in income at the value to the charity when the good are received and under the control of West London Islamic Cultural Centre. Amounts are recognised in inventory until distributed at which point the relevant cost is released to the statement of financial activities.
The receipt in advance of a grant for expenditure that takes place in a future accounting period is accounted for as deferred income and recognised as a liability until the accounting period in which West London Islamic Cultural Centre will expend the resource.
c) Resources expended
Resources expended are recognised on an accrual’s basis.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred indirectly in support of expenditure on the programmes of the Charity. Allocation of support costs and staff costs have been proportionated to the total of programme costs and corresponding thematic programme area.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. They include legal advice for trustees, cost of trustees' meetings, audit fee and internal audit costs. These costs are allocated in the same way as other support costs.
c) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.
Foreign currency balances are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date.
Foreign currency gains and losses are recognised through the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they are incurred.
d) Investment property: N/A.
e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as
West London Islamic Cultural Centre Annual Report and Financial Statement 2020
| P a g e 43
Leasehold properties Straight line over the life of the lease Freehold properties 5% straight line Computers and software 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 15% straight line
Assets that are subject to amortisation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate.
f) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which include buildings and equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the Charity and other funds available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the Charity's objectives.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are subject to
specific restrictions as imposed by the donor or nature of the appeal.
g) Taxation
As a registered charity, West London Islamic Cultural Centre is exempt from taxation of income and gains to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only.
h) Key judgements and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Trustees to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on the Trustees' best judgment at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change. The Trustees' do not believe that there are any significant areas of estimation uncertainty that need to be disclosed.

13 Post balance sheet events
The accounts reflect the conditions that existed at the balance sheet date
COVID-19 pandemic itself not an accounting event Rather, it is the impacts caused by COVID-19 that can result in financial reporting implications.
The implications of COVID-19 on the organisation are:
-
1- The closure of the centre from 21[st] March 2020 till 1[st] August 2020 and subsequent lock down periods.
-
2- Due to the closure the charity suffered loss of the major yearly donations usually collected during the Month of Ramadan April/May 2020.
-
3- The organisation furloughed all employees during lock down periods and depended on its volunteers and contractors during the resumption of the business to benefit from the government furlough grant and due to the low volume of business matters.
-
4- However, the reduction on spending, volunteers support and public support, the charity managed to survive the consequences of COID-19 measures.
Therefore, the board of trustees decided that no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the organisation’s ability to operate under the going concern basis need to be disclosed in the financial statements.
