						general public, the SMCA charges reasonable fees for teaching children and adults, but for people who are unable to afford
						them and are on a low income, it waives the fees and provides the education free ofcharge and covers any shortfall from its surplus by organising fund raising events.
						The SMCA promotes itself to Muslims and non-Muslims and by doing so it aims to provide the wider community with facilities and platforms to

						healthy understanding of Islam when they mix and integrate with Muslims

Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity			Achievements and Performance Our activities are organised by Sub-Committees (SC)as below:
during the	year		The Bereavement Support SC provided bereavement support, and
			funeral and burial process information to bereaved families in the
			community. This is an important service as bereavement
			is a stressful time for any family but can be particularly so for Muslim
			families where time is ofthe essence and burials must take place as
			soon as possible after death. Timely guidance as to the
			steps involved can help smooth the process and remove some ofthe
			stress.
			The Social Events SC organised several religious celebratory events
			throughout the year, open to all in the community. These events such as
			Eid-al Adha and Eid-al Fitr celebrations were also attended by people
			from other faiths from the inter-faith forum. This SCalso arranges
			monthly Ladies Coffee Mornings: these events double not only as social
			events where ladies can chat and support each other but also
			educational too with awareness presentations on health, beauty
			and other topical issues by visiting presenters. This team also arranged
			fund 'raising to support a charity appeal by Macmillan Cancer Support an
			established local charity. Due to covid restriction activates were affected
			over the last 2years.
			The Religious Affairs SC arranges all Friday Prayers, Ramadan
			Taraveeh Prayers, Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha Prayers. All were very well
			supported by the community. Due to the Corona virus pandemic and
			government restrictions Friday prayers, Ramadan Taraveeh prayers and
			Eid al Fitr was suspended. Eid al Adha prayer facilities were made
			available as the government had lifted to social distancing and allowed
			congregations. Due to covid activities were restricted to maintain
			the government guideline.
			The Education SC arranged children's supplementary school classes on
			Sundays in Arabic, Islamic Studies, Quranic Reading and supplementary Math's. In addition it held open day, sports day and achievement prize giving sessions open to the public. The SCdelivers its services by working in partnership with St Peters Catholic School, Solihull who hire
			the school to us. These activities were temporarily suspended due to the
			government restrictions.
			The Management SC and The Admin and ITSupport SC managed
			Governance, Finance, Compliance, PR, Insurance and Administration
			needs ofthe CIO.
			This year was only the fourth full year ofthe charity as a CIO. Its limited
			resources mean progress development progress is slower than might be
			for a larger charity. Work is ongoing to develop the structure, policies and
			processes to meet the organisational needs ofthe CIO and the service
			needs ofthe community.
