Chair’s Report For the Year Ending 31[st] March 2025
It has been another extremely successful year for the Charity!
It is amazing how much engagement the Charity has had with local donors, supporters, social enterprises and businesses so that the obligations of the Charity can continue to flourish.
This year has been the Charity’s most productive year. We have had a huge level of support from local people; the amount of donations, the increasing number of donors and the overall income has been amazing.
As a result, the Chairty has continued to deliver some amazing support to local families.
A key feature of the Charity is that we have managed to deliver much needed work without receiving any funding from any external organisations or agencies; it has been purely bases on local support from local people who want to support those living in the local communities.
We have continued to remain focused on our ambition to operate on a 100% Donation’s Policy. We have achieved this by
-
operating on a purely voluntary basis, and we ensure that all pennies raised go only towards the cause it is intended.
-
engaging with volunteers who are prepared to collect food items, distribute food items, and ensure that no additional costs are incurred.
-
requesting donors to select the Gift Aid option, so that any running costs can be taken from Gift Aid, and not donations.
-
obtaining direct sponsorship that can be used for running costs.

Charitable Aims and Objective
The Objects of the CIO are:
A. To Advance In Life And Help Young People, Particularly From Hard To Reach And Excluded Communities Achieve Their Potential By Providing Support, Resources, Training And Development Activities, Funds And Any Other Charitable Means
B. To Advance In Life And Help Young People In Such Parts Of The World As The Trustees May From Time To Time Determine Through:
(1) The Provision Of Recreational And Leisure Time Activities Provided In The Interest Of Social Welfare, Designed To Improve Their Conditions Of Life; (2) Providing Support And Activities Which Develop Their Skills, Capacities And Capabilities To Enable Them To Participate In Society As Mature And Responsible Individuals.
C. The Prevention Or Relief Of Poverty Anywhere In The World By Providing Grants, Items And Services To Individuals In Need And/Or Charities Or Other Organisations Working To Prevent Or Relieve Poverty
Our Strategic Goals and Areas of Work
We have focused on three strategic areas of delivery –
1. Enhancing Education
2. Developing Communities
3. Relieving Poverty
We believe that the three strategic angles of work will allow us to satisfy the public benefit test, whilst ensuring that we are adhering to the objects of the Charity.
Over the last few years, we have been inundated with requests for support with food provision. We have been fortunate that our partners and supporters have continued to support us by donating towards food parcels, food provision, and we have also had the support from smaller local charities who have shared food donations so that we can share with others.
Whilst we try to meet the objectives of the three stands, due to the level of need and the appetite to support such causes, we have been directed towards this provision. Although we are not intending to be identified as a food back, it appears that we have been asked to provide support and assistance with food provision.
Our Achievements 2024 - 2025
Through the kind support of our friends, donors, volunteers and Trustees, we have been able to achieve the following –
Alleviation of Poverty
We have a large number of donors from the Islamic faith who have supported our food services strand to help alleviate poverty. Muslims donate to charities and the term “sadaqah” is used to refer to voluntary acts of kindness to please God. Sadaqah can be ding good acts to help others, selflessly – taking the form of acts of time, manners, or making financial donations to support those in need, or simply to help another person.
We have therefore classified general donations under the term of Sadaqah, which is our general donation pot.
This has been our busiest year and we spent a total sum of £10,112.04 in providing warm meals, food parcels, and items to provide meals to those in need. This whole sum has been spent in Bradford supporting those who need it the most.
We also had a very successful year in giving Zakah to those most in need. A grand total of £17,100.0 was distributed throughout the year. This has been remarkable as we have had so many people requesting to give out more cash donations to be distributed and we have also had a huge number of people putting in requests to receive some of the funds. We will continue to raise Zakah to be distributed accordingly and we will ensure that any balance continues to be accounted for and used for the next year.
46 Families in total made a successful claim for zakah payment; which meant that a total of 183 people directly benefited from the zakah donations, receiving a share of £17,100.00.
Enhancing Education
One of the key projects was working with children and young people to help them unlock their potential and using sport as a means to achieve this.
We have been encouraging more young people to volunteer, develop their skills and become future leaders. We are hopeful that in the next 3 years, we will have dedicated programmes with funding in place to ensure projects are delivered properly.
Developing Communities
We have worked in the City Centre of Bradford with other supporting agencies to develop community cohesion and bring diverse groups together; we have partnered with a number of local partners in delivering partnership projects.
Plans for the future
We hope to continue developing new and innovative programmes to meet the needs of the organisation and be in a better position to achieve our aims and objectives.
The key targets set for the coming years are to –
-
Engage more children and young people to take up more volunteering positions and achieve their potential in areas of training and development
-
Develop our feed the homeless programme with an aim to obtain a mobile van or deliver from a fixed location to create a welcoming environment
-
Build a good network of partners to deliver value for money projects and work with building relationships with diverse faith and community groups

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INSPIRE FUTURE FOUNDATION CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report on the unaudited accounts of the INSPIRE FUTURE FOUNDATION of the charity no 1164394 for the year ended 31[ST] March 2025 set out on pages 1 to 4.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011 (previously section 43(2) of Charities Act 1993) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having been satisfied that the charity is not subject to audit and eligible for Independent Examination it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under Charities Act 2011, (section 43(3)(a) of the Charities Act 1993);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission Charities Act 2011 (under section 43(7) (b) of the 1993Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the account present "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements;
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Charities Act 2011 (541 of the Charities Act 1993); and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
