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 organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work Potential Board of Trustees are invited to attend Trustees' meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities and, if all agree, they are then proposed as new trustees at the subsequent trustees' meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.

Induction and Training of Trustees
Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the trust deed and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. Several publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially, new trustees work with an existing trustee assisting on activities and projects run by the charity. After satisfactory feedback from existing trustees, they are then given the task of leading an activity or project, reporting progress at trustees' meetings.
Organizational Structure
The charity Executive Committee is responsible for the general administration, formulation of policies and strategic direction of the charity under the guardian and supervision of the Board of Trustee (BOT). The Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. As directed by the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee meets every first Saturday of the Calendar month to discuss progress reports on the activities of the charity and to make policies and regulations as deemed necessary for clarification on any issue whatsoever. The Board of Trustees meets at least once in every quarter to receive the report of the Executive Committee on the affairs of the charity and to undertake (periodic) reviews of the performance of the charity and discussing such assessment with the Executive Committee or any other sub-committees so assessed.
The Trustees act for the charity in all legally binding transactions and always have the final say on all matters of the charity where the joint meeting with other Committees of the charity could not reach an agreement provided they are guided by the injunctions of the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
To further assist in the smooth running of the charity the trustees have set up several sub committees to oversee certain aspects of the charity's work Sub-committees are currently set up for Dawah, Project, Transport, Education, Elders, Organising &publicity, Fundraising, Health and Welfare for the day-to-day management of the Charity and its properties within the community and report back with their recommendations to the Trustees through the Executive Committee. The sub-committees each meet six times a year, on alternate months to each other. The Executive Committee President chairs sub-committees whose membership reflects the skills that the Executive can bring to the work of

the sub-committees. The day-to- day management of the Nurullahi Muslim Community facilities and projects are delegated to the Sub-committees. The Dawah Committee headed by the Chief Missioner works towards the realization of the aims and objectives of the charity and providing guidance on all spiritual matters. The Committee meets as required to design Islamic and Arabic education programmes for the general members of the charity and the interested non-members. They also coordinate the charity's weekly 'Asalatu' programmes.
Risk Management
The Executive Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustee have assessed 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 Executive review this risk matrix regularly at their meetings and at meetings of the four sub-committees on Project, Fundraising, Welfare and Education. The Executive Members are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified.

Our Objectives
Our objectives are set to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year our Board of trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.
Our dual aims remain to provide a facility where Muslims can worship and provide a community facility for all the inhabitants of Northampton. Our long-term ambition is to build the self-confldence of Northampton's Muslims in their faith, and through our community facilities and activities help make our area a peaceful, vibrant and harmonious community.
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)
Strategies
We want to make our charity organisation an accessible and welcoming venue where all Muslims, or those who wish to know more about our faith, can gather together to learn about their religion and worship. Our Women's wing also provides provisions for women who want to understand more about Islam. At their events, we share the teachings of Islam and the nature of our faith with our Mothers, Sisters, daughters, Friends and family. Also, an important part of our faith is charitable giving, according to one's wealth, in accordance with Islam and we are pleased to receive Fisebililah for the sole purpose of the relief of need and financial hardship of Muslims in Northampton who have insufficient money to cover their basic needs for shelter, food, clothing, or who are destitute with no means of support. An important part of our strategy is community welfare and education. All our community facilities and activities including classes, health initiatives and seminars are widely advertised, and we welcome the participation of all in our local community, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Most of our activities are free and supported by donations or grant funding by registered Members of Nurullahi Muslim Community. Helping people who have moved to Northampton settle into the community successfully is important to us. We ensure that families tie and knowing Northampton environment is essential for newly arrival members.

The trustees during the year consider that these activities summarised below, provide benefit both to those who attend our Organisation and the wider Community of Northampton. Religious Activities Nurullahi Muslim community provides a centre for worship and prayers and other activities associated with the Islamic faith. For the period of the year under review, we presented a range of services and activities. Festivals: Foods and drinks are available for any members of the community to celebrate Eid. More so, during Ramadan plenty of foods, fruits, and drinks are provided for any members of the public that want to break their fast. Civil marriage and Nikah : Nurullahi Muslim Community provide Muslims couples with an appropriate support and avenue to carry out their Nikah during the year under review. Hifz Classes : Teaching and learning to memorise the Quran is regarded as an important element of Islamic religious education and moral training. We continue to make available this class for young people in Northampton. We are very glad this programme continues to run successfully with over 30 young people still attending till date. Programme on the Qur'an: We carry out a full Quranic recitation every quarter to help members and the public to get a crystal-clear understanding of Quran teaching. Islamic awareness: we hold public lectures by bringing external lecturers that are well qualified Islamic scholars; where members and community at large are invited to listen and ask a question on general Islamic teaching. Zakat: This is one of the important pillars of our faith. It's said that whoever can give charity should give it. Money is collected under the principle of Islamic teaching by those that have the means. The collected money is used for a number of specific reasons, such as helping others. A Muslim need not give their Zakat to Nurullahi Muslim Community, but we do provide an opportunity for those who want to contribute to giving theirs and we arrange its distribution for approved purposes. Community Activities Our rented community hall provides a valuable educational and recreational avenue to all in our local community centre.
