Summary of Our Objectives
The objectives of the charity are set out in the memorandum and articles incorporated on 8th July 2013, amended by special resolution dated 30th April 2016, and summarised as follows:
The charity exists to advance the Islamic faith and to and educate people about Islam in accordance with the tenets of the Qur’an and Sunnah, promote Islamic learning and research, foster community cohesion and interfaith understanding, support educational opportunities and scholarships, relieve poverty and hardship through charitable assistance, provide public-benefit health and wellbeing services rooted in traditional Islamic practices, and establish or support mosques, community centres, educational institutions, and other charitable organisations that further these aims.
Charity Structure & Management
The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. They give their time freely and do not receive remuneration or other financial benefits.
The trustees meet formally on a quarterly basis. However, more frequent meetings occur with the staff who are responsible for Masjid al-Furqan, which is currently the only mosque which is directly run by the charity. All staff are volunteers and none receive any financial benefit from their role.
The charity recognises the need to increase the number of trustees. We aim to have no less than three trustees appointed within three months of the date of this report, increasing to five trustees the following year.
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees, primarily because of the specialist nature of the charity in relation to faith. In doing so, they are careful to take into account the views of those who regularly engage with the charity and its key services, such as the congregation at Masjid al-Furqan, and those involved in mentoring and supporting students of the Islamic Sciences.
Independent Examination of Accounts
This is the first year in which the charity crossed the threshold for independent examination. The trustees appointed an independent examiner, Mr. Shahid Nabil Hassan, who conducted his examination and provided a compliance report. Where he has identified areas of improvement, the trustees have noted this at the end of this report.

Activities and Objectives in 2024/25 and Evaluation of Performance
Our primary activities during the period of 1 August 2024 until 31 July 2025 were divided into three key projects:
-
Masjid al-Furqan : We continue to maintain the mosque in Gateshead for the public benefit, including the five daily prayers, as well as the Friday sermon, which is operating at full capacity. The masjid continued to improve the facilities offered, including improved bathroom and washing facilities, improved audio-visual equipment, and much needed repairs to the roof and entranceway. We continued our tradition of 24/7 access and live broadcasting of sermons. We also continued to offer Eid prayers open to the entire Gateshead Muslim community at Saltwell Park. The mosque continues to be staffed exclusively by volunteers. It is expected that this will have to change in 2026, with a need for paid roles for both imam and caretaker. The trustees recognise the need for improvement in the number of free classes offered, particularly outside of Ramadan, although the mosque continues to work with other local mosques who offer weekly classes.
-
Supporting Students : We continue to support students of Islamic Sciences who are undergoing significant financial hardship. This is our primary use of the Zakah restricted fund, and is particularly suited to our charitable objectives because it combines the advancement of the Islamic faith, education, and poverty relief. Students can be recommended to any member of our Grants Sub-committee, and each case is studied by the entire committee before a recommendation is made to the trustees based on criteria including proven financial hardship, their academic achievement, and their contribution to our charitable objectives in their community.
-
One-off Campaigns : We supported the establishment of a mosque, Masjid-ul-Muslimeen, in Johannesburg South Africa - one of the first mosques in the area to be established in line with our specific faith objectives. Funds were raised specifically for this purpose, with donations passed to the mosque directly. We met our target of raising £5,000 which was given towards purchasing the building.
Each of these programmes was in line with our stated objectives and carried out in compliance with the duty to have due regard to guidance on public benefit published by the Commission.
It should also be noted that the Humble Foundation continues to operate a 100% donation policy, where all costs related to the management and administration of the charity are paid
3
for by the trustees. This year a total of £1467.86 was due to be paid by the trustees to the charity to cover these costs.

Notes on Reserves
-
Our policy for al-Furqan Mosque is to have a reserve of one year’s rent, as it is payable in September, shortly after the end of our accounting period each year, in addition to three months of operating expenses. This equates to approximately £15,000. We were short of our target by approximately £4,000 this year, due to essential roof repairs costing £6,000. However, this is not of significant concern, as the monthly operating costs are typically met by monthly donations.
-
Our policy for Student Support and Zakah is to have no reserve. Occasionally, a reserve may show, as in 2023/24 due to the date of accounts being prepared overlapping the distribution of zakah.
-
Our policy for ad-hoc campaigns such as Masjid-ul-Muslimeen is not to keep any reserve. The trustees note that there is a reserve of £740 and that this is due to late donations after the campaign officially ended. This money will be transferred to the same project, as that is what the beneficiaries would expect.
-
Our policy for the general fund is to have enough to cover any general activities/expenditure planned for the following three months, with a minimum reserve of £1,000.

Areas Requiring Improvement
The trustees would like to highlight the following matters which require improvement:
-
Increasing the number of trustees, as mentioned in the charity structure above. We aim to have no less than three trustees within three months of the date of this report, increasing to five trustees the following year.
-
The independent examiner’s report notes that within the charity accounting software payments have not been digitally linked to purchase invoices. While these invoices are properly filed on paper, it would be better for them to be input directly within the accounting software for ease of reference. This change will be fully implemented by 1st August 2026 (the start of the next accounting period after the date of this report).
-
This is the first year for which the charity passed the threshold of an independent examiner’s report, with donations exceeding the then £25,000 threshold. It is expected that this will continue to be the case in subsequent years, even taking into account the increase in the threshold itself. The importance of clear and detailed record keeping has been communicated to all staff, including any areas where the independent examiner recommended improvement.

| · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. ND LIABILITIES Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 15. They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 16. They are valued at cost. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. |

the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
