Salicaf Foundation has no collection anymore due to the fact that the mosques where we used to ask for collections have changed their management staff and they do not give us any collection possibility. They need to renovate the mosque and they need money too.

Independent Examiner:
The Charity is a small charity in term of finance. In this regard we do not have an independent examiner at the moment. Otherwise having an independent examiner will cost us money and we may not be able to pay the examiner. The trustee members do some collections of item and send to children in a country where they operate. This year of 11 May 2023 to 10 May 2024, items have been bought and sent to the children in Togo. (attached are the pictures below.)
The trustees’ have the pleasure in presenting their annual report and financial statement for the year ending 10 May 2024.
Legal and Administrative details:
Governing Instrument:
Salicaf Foundation is constituted as registered charity in the United Kingdom and governed by a constitution.
Membership is open to interested individuals accepted into membership by the trustees, following completion of a prescribed membership form.
Trustees
The Foundation’s work is directed by a board of trustees, who approve the policy for the organisation but is in control of the executive Director.
The activities of the foundation are conducted and overseen by the trustees themselves who meet when required in order to determine the order of the projects for the children. That means to determine which project must come first and which one next.
However it is important to clarify that all activities have been suspended apart from meetings about projects.
As mentioned above, the collection of funds at Al-Rahma Mosque in Liverpool has stopped because the trustees of the mosque need money to renovate the mosque.
During the year the activities have been managed by 5 trustees’ members in administration field, ideas, and seek for advice from other charities having the same aspiration. For more information about the members please visit our website www.salicaffoundation.co.uk and click on Founders.
Objectives of Salicaf Foundation
Our objectives consist to relief poverty, to advance the education of children in Africa and to relief severe sickness a child could suffer from by providing him or her a grant for healing. We provide items and services to individuals (children) in need and/or charities or other organisations working to relieve poverty, advance education and relieve sickness too.
Public Benefit statement
When planning our activities we have considered guidance from Charity commission to ensure we meet our public benefit requirements. In our case the benefit is for children in Africa to start with Togo last year, Sudan, Guinea Conakry and Djibouti. As this year of 11 May 2023 to 10 May 2024 the activities have been very few. However, the trustee members have met on 5th January 2024 and plan new activities to do, that of delivering item to children in Togo.
REVIEW OF THE YEAR ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY SALICAF FOUNDATION
Salicaf Foundation trustee members have physically met on 5th January 2024 and
discuss about variety of activities in order to achieve its objectives positively.
Also on 5[th] January 2025 the Trustee members have had a meeting and have packed
the items of the children in Togo and send them to Togo through JGS shipping Services.
a.- Meetings
Many meetings have been held during the year via telephone and social media, what’s up, and Microsoft program and sometimes via telephone conversations but as mentioned above on 5th January 2023 a quick physical meeting has been held at the main office of Salicaf Foundation as well as on 5[th] January 2024.
Important points have been raised up:
-How to improve our activities
-How to relaunch our activities
-What are needed to facilitate our meetings for advice and maintain of the charity objectives and how to get new fund raising sources.
b.) Projects
Since we hold our meeting the trustees’ members have decided to start some little fundraising in the mosques. In this regards some applications have been sent to 3 different mosques, and we are expecting to receive their answers for collection specially during this Month of Ramadan. If a Mosque allows Salicaf Foundation to do the collection the Charity Commission will be informed. Up to now we did not receive any answer yet.
d.)Salicaf Foundation working equipment
1.)T-shirts and Advertisement Board.
During our last meeting the trustee members have decided not to make-up more T-shirts again because of lake of finance. However the old ones we have are still in good condition to use for any event.
Attached are the photographs of our last year advertisement board and our T-shirts.
Ib
c.) Financial activities
Some shops where we put our collection boxes have closed down and our collection boxes get lost. We need to buy new ones and replace them in some other shops. Now many shops don’t want to have them in their shop because they said it attracts thieves.
Mosques that are our main centres of collection especially Al-Rahma Mosque could not offer as a chance for collection because they are renovating the mosque and they need money as well.
d.) Fund raising activities
The fundraising has not been done this year. We pay the website monthly; we pay the shipping of items with our own money we gain from our workplace (salary).

J-Conclusion
In this year of 11 May 2023 to 10 May 2024 Salicaf Foundation has not carried out enough activities. Most of the trustees’ members are civil servants and go to work on daily basis. They do not have enough time to invest in Salicaf Foundation activities. The little activities we do were the purchase of used items, the packing of the items, the shipping and meetings.
