Islaiiiic Aiisaar Fouiidation Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30th September 2024 Structure, governaiice aiid manageinent Goveriiiiig Document Islamic Ansaar Foundation (IAF) is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission in October 2014 under charity number 1158902. It is governed by a deed of trust last updated in January 2015. Organisational Structure The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet together as a body every quarter and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to the activities provided by the charity. To assist in the smooth running of the charity, the trustees have allocated various tasks to members of the charity to oversea certain aspects of the charity's work. Members are invited to all meetings and are encouraged to provide feedback and recommendations that may be required to provide an effective service. All financial matters are agreed by the Board of Trustees before members can implement them in the day to day running of the charity. All trustees, members and volunteers work on a voluntarily basis and this is done after they are freed up from their professional occupation during the day. Recruitment and appointment of trustees The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees but in doing so the trustees seek the views and recommendations of both members and educated scholars. The trustees believe this approach ensures that new trustees are esteemed members of community who are capable of ensuring that good relations are fostered between the charity and the people of the local community that we serve. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organized by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader work both nationally and internationally. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees, meetings as strictly observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities. If all current trustees agree, then potential trustees are proposed as new trustees at subsequent trustees, meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.
Iiiductioii arid traiiiiiig of trustees Folloxviiig appointiiient, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the trust deed and a guide to tlie policies and procedures adopted by our charity. A Iiuiiiber of publicatioiis froim tlie Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance 011 cliarities and public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of tlie scope of tlieir responsibilities under the Charity Act. Initially, new trustees work with an existiiig trustee assisting on particular activities and projects run by the charity. After satisfactory feedback from existing trustees, they are then given the task of leading a particular activity or project, reporting progress at trustees, meetings. Risk Management The trustees have accessed the risks the charity faces and have drawn up a risk matrix which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks happening and the measures taken to manage them. The trustees review this risk matrix regularly at their meetings on finance and overseas operations. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified. All members are trustees are required to sign a Liability Waiver form upon joining. The charity is looking to offer Insurance cover to members and trustees in events that may pose possible risks. Finances of the charity are regularly kept under review at all trustee meetings. Appropriate Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) checks, supported by regularly reviewed policies, are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups that the charity works with.
