|Summary<br>ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity|||Achievements<br>and Performance<br>Our activities are organised<br>by Sub-Committees<br>(SC)as below:|
|during the|year||The Bereavement<br>Support SC provided<br>bereavement<br>support,<br>and|
||||funeral<br>and burial process information<br>to bereaved<br>families<br>in the|
||||community.<br>This is an important<br>service as bereavement|
||||is a stressful<br>time for any family but can be particularly<br>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<br>can help smooth the process and remove some ofthe|
||||stress.|
||||The Social Events SC organised<br>several<br>religious<br>celebratory<br>events|
||||throughout<br>the year, open to all in the community.<br>These events such as|
||||Eid-al Adha and Eid-al Fitr celebrations<br>were also attended<br>by people|
||||from other faiths from the inter-faith<br>forum. This SCalso arranges|
||||monthly<br>Ladies Coffee Mornings: these events double not only as social|
||||events where ladies can chat and support each other but also|
||||educational<br>too with awareness<br>presentations<br>on health,<br>beauty|
||||and other topical issues by visiting presenters.<br>This team also arranged|
||||fund 'raising to support a charity appeal<br>by Macmillan<br>Cancer Support an|
||||established<br>local charity. Due to covid restriction activates were affected|
||||over the last 2years.|
||||The Religious Affairs SC arranges<br>all Friday Prayers,<br>Ramadan|
||||Taraveeh<br>Prayers,<br>Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha Prayers.<br>All were very well|
||||supported<br>by the community.<br>Due to the Corona virus pandemic<br>and|
||||government<br>restrictions<br>Friday prayers,<br>Ramadan<br>Taraveeh<br>prayers and|
||||Eid al Fitr was suspended.<br>Eid al Adha prayer facilities were made|
||||available as the government<br>had lifted to social distancing<br>and allowed|
||||congregations.<br>Due to covid activities were restricted to maintain|
||||the government<br>guideline.|
||||The Education SC arranged<br>children's<br>supplementary<br>school classes on|
||||Sundays<br>in Arabic, Islamic Studies, Quranic Reading and supplementary<br>Math's.<br>In addition<br>it held open day, sports day and achievement<br>prize<br>giving sessions open to the public. The SCdelivers<br>its services by<br>working<br>in partnership<br>with St Peters Catholic School, Solihull who hire|

||||Governance,<br>Finance, Compliance,<br>PR, Insurance<br>and Administration|
||||needs ofthe CIO.|
||||This year was only the fourth<br>full year ofthe charity as a CIO. Its limited|
||||resources mean progress development<br>progress<br>is slower than might be|
||||for a larger charity. Work is ongoing<br>to develop the structure,<br>policies and|
||||processes to meet the organisational<br>needs ofthe CIO and the service|
||||needs ofthe community.|
