Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The purposes of our charity, for the public benefit in Sheffield and the Surrounding area, are: 1. To advance Islam 2. To relieve poverty, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of a food bank 3. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who need such as facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.

Para 1.17 and 1.19	We continue to deliver weekly Youth Clubs which provides educational activities for boys and girls in the local community. Activities includes, art and design, painting, reading, homework club (focussing on literacy and numeracy at Year 8 level) and teaching the basics of Islam, fulfilling object 2. The Centre also runs a now established a ladies Sewing and Coffee club every Wednesday morning and a wellbeing morning session on Thursday mornings, again for ladies. This year we also started a monthly ladies cookery class, the first Tuesday of every month. We also now have an established Elderly Gardening club that has landscaped the Centre yard with beautiful flowers and fruit trees, as well as tea bushes. This year, we were happy to welcome the Hope Allotment group to have several

		cookery sessions in the upper section of the Centre. We continue to have the monthly litter pick, which is well established and has inspired other groups in Firth Park to also start one up, and even to other wards in the city (e.g Page Hall residents have started one up, similar to ours). Also new this year, was the biweekly wellbeing evening sessions (Monday), which allowed members to discuss life issues, related to when a loved one dies, and how to get support before and after death; meeting object 2 and 3. With all activities, we offer daily Muslim prayers, in keeping with objectives of the Centre. The Centre also arranged, in coordination with the council, two Eid prayers at Firth Park, allowing the local community to celebrate the end of Ramadan at Firth Park and also the Hajj session. This covers objects 1 and 3. We have also arranged monthly litter pick events in the areas surrounding our centre. Due to demand from the community we continue to provide emergency food aid. The Centre also held a community Iftar session for the neighbours, which was well received. This covers object 2. As a registered member of the Independent Food Network, we continue to support those in need with emergence food packages, as per object 2. Due to the demand of our members, we have applied for and obtained planning permission to extend the centre. Work has already started and we will report progression next year.
