We are just recently registered in England and Wales as a Charity.
The charity is run and led by a dedicated and committed team of Trustees with wealth of professional and local knowledge and expertise. We are also supported by a passionate Imam and a team of inspiring volunteers working together to drive change and improve community cohesion and tolerance, as well as promoting a better understanding of Islam to the wider Public.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under Charity law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the Net Income or loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
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 accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
Small Company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

SOHO HILL MUSLIM BIRMINGHAM EDUCATIONAL & WELFARE CENTRE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Soho Hill Muslim Birmingham Education & Welfare Centre
Charity Registration No. 1156911 (England and Wales)
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Soho Hill Muslim Birmingham Education & Welfare Centre
I am reporting on the accounts of the charity for the financial year ending 31st March 2025, which are detailed on pages 4 to 10 of this report.
Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
The trustees of the charity are responsible for preparing the accounts in compliance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The trustees have concluded that the audit requirements outlined in Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations are not applicable. My role is to examine the accounts as required by section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to report on any matters that come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Statement
This examination is conducted in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. My examination involves a review of the accounting records maintained by the charity and a comparison of the presented accounts with those records. I also consider any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seek explanations from the trustees regarding such matters. However, the procedures I perform do not provide the comprehensive evidence necessary for an audit; therefore, I do not express an audit opinion regarding the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
During my examination, nothing has come to my attention that gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the charity has:
-
Not kept accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations.
-
Not prepared accounts that are consistent with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations.
