## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From** 1[st ] April 2024 **Period start date To** 31[st ] March 2025 **Period end date** **Charity name:** Inclusive Mosque Initiative **Charity registration number:** 1161730 ## **Objectives and Activities** ||
SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes
of the charity as set out in
its governing document|Para 1.17|1) To proactively uphold, implement
and embed the aims of the Inclusive
Mosque Initiative in its activities as
stated in its Statement of Intent;
2) To maintain and conduct the religious
and educational affairs of the Mosque;
3) To conduct ceremonies,
congregations and meetings of a
religious and cultural nature under the
guidance of the
organisation’s aims, Imams and
Management Committee;
4) To teach the spirit, culture, philosophy,
ethics and fundamentals of Islam, with a
view to improving the moral, intellectual
and social condition of Muslims in their
community;
5) To expand the knowledge of Islam
through discussions and Islamic literature
by means of publishing and distributing
such literature electronically and
physically and provide an Islamic resource
facility for communities at large.
6) To engage nationally and
internationally with issues of social,
economic and political justice, to
promote the welfare of all living beings.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for the
public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Our main activities are split into two key
areas of work 1) providing opportunities for
marginalised Muslims to be in community
with each other, and events where we can
examine, critique and value Islamic
discourse in ways that are liberating and
which challenges racism, misogyny,
sexism, homophobia, transphobia and
sectarianism. In addition, we conduct
interfaith and LGBT+ Muslim wedding
ceremonies where we demonstrate and
discuss everyone’s right to freedom of
belief and religion as well as safety in
relationships. This area of work reflects all
of charitable purposes as| |||mentioned above.
2) Engaging with support services to
make them safer and more inclusive of
marginalised Muslims. This area of
work reflects our sixth charitable
purpose as outlined above.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a
whole.|Para 1.20|We began this period by partnering with
Amnesty International UK to host an
uplifting Human Rights Iftar in April 2024,
which included a powerful panel of Muslim
human rights activists uplifting Iftar meal
and celebrated our communities' work
demanding universal Human Rights. This
event shone a light on IMI’s work as a
mosque that is focused on mobilising the
community, rather than solely providing
prayer spaces.
We ran an inclusive Eid al Fitr celebration
in April 2024 and Eid al Adha in June
2024, led by Imams from our community
who are usually excluded from leadership
roles in traditional mosque spaces. We
created a safe inclusive prayer space that
emphasised freedom of belief and religion
and centred disability justice, feminist
principles and anti-racism.
In July 2024, we hosted an inclusive
discussion (halaqa) exploring the
complexities of many marginalised
Muslims’ relationship with formal prayer
(salah), wherein community members
shared their views, coping mechanisms,
and lived experience of religious trauma,
ableism, exclusion, invalidation and mental
health struggles.
We hosted two community discussions
(26th of July and the 1st of September
2024) about key historical events and
Islamic figures of vital importance to Shi’a
Muslims. These events supported Shi’a
community members (and Muslims from
other sect traditions) to voice their
reflections and questions about Karbala in
an inclusive, antisectarian, educational
space. Attendees were supported to
reflect on the themes of justice and
injustice, oppression and liberation. This
event gave Muslims from different sect
traditions the opportunity to learn more
about Shi’a beliefs and values, and
created space for dialogue to foster
greater intersect understanding and
connection.
In August 2024 we hosted a community
conversation on the rise of far-right,
anti-migrant and Islamophobic violence in
the UK. The community expressed:
1. Their anger and exhaustion in the
face of increasing racism.
2. What home and belonging means to
them.
3. Pressures they face inside and
outside Muslim communities.
4. The impact of expanded police
powers on Muslims.
5. How allies can practically stand in
solidarity with Muslims.
6. Different kinds of racism and
antiracism.
7. What kind of support they want from| IMI in response to these events. These findings gave IMI valuable information that has informed our programming strategy for the next financial year on these topics. In November 2024, Inclusive Mosque Initiative partnered with the Faith & VAWG Coalition and the Migrants’ Rights Network to co-create online articles reframing Islamophobia as a structural and systemic issue, rather than simply interpersonal prejudice. Both collaborations were successful, strengthening partnerships and laying the groundwork for training organisations in the gender-based violence and migration sectors on addressing Islamophobia. On the 13th of December 2024 we ran an inclusive discussion (halaqa) exploring Islamic notions of belief and non-belief, and how these concepts can be understood in more inclusive and compassionate ways. By encouraging respectful dialogue and centering marginalised Muslim voices, the discussion created a space wherein Muslims shared their own experiences of exclusion, and views on challenging systems of religious and social hierarchy, promoting cross-community connection and solidarity. On the 15th of September 2024, IMI hosted an outdoor community picnic. The informal, unstructured format was well received, with attendees expressing a desire for more similar opportunities to connect and build community. Through events like this, we aim to create a space for the Inclusive Mosque community to meet, reduce isolation, foster connection, and strengthen our collective and individual ability to be visibly and confidently Muslim in public. We ended the financial period with a powerful series of community iftars that offered marginalised Muslims and their loved ones an inclusive, welcoming space to connect, reflect, and find spiritual fulfilment, helping combat the loneliness felt by many marginalised Muslims during our holy month. The prayers at our iftars are led by imams from marginalised groups within Muslim communities including those marginalised because of sectarianism, queerphobia, transphobia, and misogyny. As always, our iftars provided a safe space for unsegregated prayer promoting gender equality, for Muslims from a range of sects, traditions, and of different gender identities and ages, including single parent families. They provide a great opportunity for intergenerational understanding where young Muslims can bring their parents to see a contemporary mosque practice focused on equity as well as spirituality. Our iftars were hybrid, with a hosted online space allowing participation for Muslims unable to attend in person for any reason, which attracted disabled and immuno-suppressed Muslims and those with caring responsibilities to participate. We recruited a freelance Online Events Host and freelance Events Assistant, both of whom enabled us to provide a safe and accessible experience for all participants. |**Additional information (optional)**

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. _._ **Date:** 29/01/2026 **Signed: Name:**[Andrew Hopkins ] **Address:** Birmingham Voluntar Service Council – Accountancy Services Latham House, Paradise Street Birmingham, B1 2AJ **Oct 2018** 1 **IER** IER Oct 2018
