Activities and Achievements
During the year, the charity continued to engage the community with various activities:
Meditation and Prayer Meetings
Regular sessions were held to foster spiritual growth and community support. Festivals
Celebrations attracted both members and the local community, promoting inclusivity and cultural understanding.
Donations
The main sources of income are Friday collections, online donations, and specific fundraising appeals. All donations received during the year were available for the general purposes of the charity and have been treated as unrestricted funds.
Renovations
Our residential properties have been renovated internally and externally also renovated ghusal khana (washrooms).
Financial Review
For the year ending 31 December 2024, The trust made a profit in the year of £1,168 on unrestricted income and expenditure, mainly due to decrease donations received as compared to last year. Total Reserves on 31st December 2024 stand at £2,061,463 and bank balances have decreased due to the increase in the expenditure & creditors payoff for the year. The main asset of the mosque remains recorded at its historical value; however, a revaluation of the assets is scheduled for May 2025.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have considered the level of reserves appropriate for the charity in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance (CC19). The charity’s policy is to maintain unrestricted free reserves equivalent to approximately three months’ core operating expenditure, in order to provide a buffer against unexpected income shortfalls or increases in costs.
At 31 December 2024, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £19,495. The trustees recognize that this is below the target level and will seek to build reserves over time through prudent financial management and by exploring new fundraising opportunities.
The charity also holds significant property assets which are shown in the accounts at revaluation reserve, but these are not liquid and therefore not available to meet day-to-day operating needs.
Risk Management
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that appropriate systems are in place to mitigate these risks. Key risks identified include:
Financial risks – potential reductions in donation income and increases in running costs. Mitigated through regular financial monitoring, budgeting, and maintaining appropriate reserves.
Property and operational risks – risks associated with maintaining the mosque and other charity properties. Mitigated through regular inspections, insurance cover, and planned maintenance.
Governance and compliance risks – risk of failing to comply with charity law or reporting requirements. Mitigated by maintaining trustee training, engaging an independent examiner, and following Charity Commission guidance.
Safeguarding and community risks – ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all community members, including children and vulnerable adults. Mitigated through safeguarding policies, DBS checks where appropriate, and regular review of procedures.
The trustees will continue to review risks on an ongoing basis and take action where necessary to protect the charity’s assets and beneficiaries.
Public Benefit Statement
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In planning and carrying out the charity’s activities, the trustees have ensured that they further the charity’s objects for the advancement of the Islamic faith and the provision of community facilities, in ways that are accessible and of benefit to the wider public regardless of background.
The charity’s activities during the year — including daily prayers, educational classes, community events, and outreach programmes — have provided spiritual, educational and social benefits to the local community, thereby delivering clear public benefit in line with the charity’s aims.
Future Plans
Going forward, the charity aims to:
·Increase community outreach and engagement.
·Explore new fundraising opportunities to support activities.
·Enhance educational programs through the distribution of literature and resources.
·Provide a safe space for ladies and younger members of the community so that specific beneficial programmes and courses can be delivered.

-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.
1.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Change of accounting policy
These accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view
1.4 Income from donations or grants
Income from donations and grants is recognized when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing. If a donation or grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity’s control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds, or if the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future time periods, then the income is deferred.
1.5 Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities is recognized over the period to which the income relates. Concert fees are recognized at the date of the event. Membership fees are recognized over the period of the membership. Rent is recognized over the period to which it relates. Any amounts relating to future periods are deferred.
1.6 Income from membership subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognized in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which give a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognized as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets, such as land and buildings, plant, vehicles and equipment, are held to provide an on-going economic benefit to a charity through their contribution, directly or indirectly, to the provision of goods or services by the charity.
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Name Rate (%) Year Method Fixtures & Fittings 20% 5 Straight Line Method
1.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially 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.
1.9 Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.
Investment properties must be measured initially at fair value at the reporting date, except where that property is rented to another group entity. Depreciation is not provided on investment property measured at fair value.
