INSPIRING GRACE TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the trust as set out in its governing document are:
1) The prevention of relief of poverty in Pendle, Lancashire and the surrounding area through the provision of essential food items to individuals and families in need.
2) The advancement of education through providing educational courses which promote, sustain and increase individual and collective knowledge and understanding on topics related to Islamic theology, jurisprudence and spirituality.
3) To advance the Islamic Faith through the holding of weekly prayer meetings where people gather to sing Islamic hymns in praise of God and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
4) The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the benefit of the inhabitants of Pendle, Lancashire and surrounding area.
Achievement and performance
It has been a very challenging year for the charity with the pandemic which has caused disruption to many of our services, but has allowed us to focus on our food poverty projects in particular. The demand particularly in the first lockdown went up multifold on previous years and we had to secure lots of different funding pots and engage with more volunteers to help us to keep up with this demand. We created a street community champions programme which was very successful and created important links with the local council as a key partner in the relief efforts. Prior to the lockdown, we successfully added to our growing sports programmes by delivering new weekly sessions of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for adults and children as well as launching our scouts club. This has allowed us to create a structured programme for young people from ages 6-14 as they develop from beavers to cubs to scouts. During the lockdown our team completed a 6 week programme to become affiliated with the international Fight4Peace programme which uses the martial arts to engage young people and develop skills such as gaining qualifications and becoming more employable.
Financial review
Financial position
Monthly figures are submitted by respective heads of each area (food, sports, education etc.) between days 1 and 5 at the start of each month. The figures are checked against the monthly bank statement by the treasurer and queried/corrected if necessary. Restricted funds are carefully monitored with spreadsheets in place to monitor the expenses in line with the income for the respective restricted pot.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a minimum level. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.
Future plans
We expect the future period is going to involve the majority of our efforts on the food poverty programme. We will continue to work with our local partners and the local community to help those in need in the local area. We have also developed a zakat programme which provides financial support to eligible local people and expect the demand will rise the longer the pandemic goes on. We will also use the period where some of our sessions can continue to do some fundraising for the charity whether that is in the writing of bids, promoting our online donation pages and taking part in crowd and match funding initiatives.

INSPIRING GRACE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
