Each day of the year we have held prayer meetings for the five daily prayers including Friday prayers. We also held tarawee prayers during the month of Ramadan.
The Madrasa (Islamic Education Centre) continues to operate and student numbers have stabilised to around 20. We have 2 staff members who teach at the Madrasa, 5 days a week.
The Ladies weekly classes and the monthly programme continue to have a strong following.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Due to the renovation programme and COVID-19, the KS1 and KS2 packs have once again not been updated. We do continue to engage with local schools and we hope to increase our activity in this area in the future.
Foreign student numbers in the local area stabilised this year and they are mainly from the Asian subcontinent. We continue to help those that do arrive, and the two people who were assigned to help them last year continue helping these students.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
We would like to extend the qualifications of our teachers and will be looking to find appropriate teaching vocational courses in the local area to assist in this goal. This aim is now part and parcel of our investment into our staff.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
Moving the Madrasa towards an academy and open learning would serve the community better. To this goal we will aim at progressing this in the coming years. We hope the “it’s time to grow” project when completed will give us extra educational teaching space.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
Much of the normal activity was curtailed such as the highly popular Student Lead Story Session. However the end of year graduating event did go ahead and was a great success. Student numbers in the Madrasa remained stable at around 20 and the sessions ran in the centre as they did before Covid-19 restrictions. The Madrasa continues to innovate and is now one of the oldest in the city. It is widely considered one of the most innovative, contemporary cutting edge Madrasas in Preston. The aligned school and Madrasa academic years works well and we envisage keeping it the same from now on. We have kept the financial contribution the same now for several years in line with the vision of the founders and that was also true this year. However with the increase in costs due to inflation, we may need to re-think this position for the future. The number of foreign students has stabilised and most of the remaining students tend to be from the Indian sub-continent. They still need considerable help in settling in. The help has been similar to that of helping asylum seekers and so we were well equipped adapt to their needs. We continue to help those that do arrive and those that continue to need help. We have assisted them in every facet of living in the UK. Their presence has benefited the centre greatly and has broadened the cultural experience within the centre. Adult Islamic education has remained the same this year. We will continue to monitor interest and adjust classes as required during the coming year. Once again this year we attempted to upgrade the Key stage packs but once again we gave priority to other events including the “It’s time to grow project”. We hope to progress next year in an attempt to enhance the experience for school visits in the future. This should make any further visits a more integrated educational experience. Work continues in this regard. The “It’s Time To Grow” project stood still this whole year. Some attempts to progress were thwarted by the lack of time from building contractors. We hope to move forward next year to the actual building phase. We have started to use the space to a small degree just to increase space during prayer times. As stated in earlier years it is envisaged that the project has increased in cost with the design of the combined properties with the overall project cost being around the £250,000 mark. We will know a more accurate figure once builders assess the full work. We hope to keep the momentum going on this project and integrate both properties to form one larger centre next year. We still have no information screens in the centre but the CCTV works well with cameras in almost every room and outside. |
