Providing an outlet for social/cultural/<br>religious activities and events for our<br>local Muslim community.<br>4.

Also to promote religious<br>harmony by fostering better relations<br>between Muslims and non-Muslim<br>communities. We do this by attending<br>other faith group meetings to introduce<br>ourselves and allow others to ask<br>questions about our religion etc. We also<br>plan to invite local council members and<br>community faith leaders to our events.<br>5.

volunteer basis. As such our past achievements would not be possible without the wonderful work of all our volunteers. A large part of our year has been spent fundraising and continue to seek out donations to help consolidate our main longer-term goal which is to have a selfsustaining community and faith centre in Lytham St Annes. This goal was seen to its fruition in the middle part of 2020 when we purchased a local building with the aim of refurbishing it into a modern centre. Fundraising continued throughout the year but with the renewed aim of collecting funds for the refurbishment which started at the tail end of the financial year (2020). Our trustees and other volunteers have been exceptional in assisting our cause. The results of our fundraising endeavours can be clearly seen to have been a success when you look at the finances for the charity over the past couple of years. Also having a “no-time reimbursement” policy where we rely solely on volunteers has helped further shore up our finances. We are delighted to report that we had the grand opening of our community centre in May 2020. It is now fully operational and has become the hub for our community activities in St Annes.

||Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|1. Negotiated with local council to secure a<br>burial site solely for Muslims at the local<br>cemetery.<br>2. Provision of Islamic education (along the<br>Church Sunday School model) of Muslim<br>children living on the Fylde Coast.<br>3. We have now established a Community<br>Centre for social and religious activities<br>for our members.<br>4. A continued and sustained fundraising<br>push for donations throughout the year<br>has helped us shore up our finances and<br>put us in a healthy position to complete<br>the renovation for the building mentioned<br>in point 3 above.<br>**5.**The building was Purchased in the<br>summer of 2020 and work to refurbish<br>the building started at the end of 2020. It<br>was completed in April 2021 and the<br>centre opened in May 2021 for public<br>use.|

|---|---|---|
|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|The centre refurbishment was completed in<br>April 2021 and was opened for public use in<br>May 2021. We were able to finance the<br>purchase of the building including the<br>refurbishment without resorting to any bank<br>loans/mortgages (which deals with payments<br>of interest – which goes against our religious<br>beliefs).<br>Having a community centre and a base for<br>the charity will enable the us to achieve the<br>Charity’s longer term aims and objectives in<br>a much more sustained way. We strongly<br>believe that the community centre will be the<br>catalyst that the charity needs for the future.|





|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|These have continued to exceed our initial<br>projected forecasts for the year. The<br>acquisition of the building in 2020 was a<br>hallmark moment for the charity. Having a<br>physical base in the community is helping us<br>attract more funds via the fundraising route.|

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Having started the 2021 financial year with a<br>cash asset amount of close to fifty-one<br>thousand pounds we continued with the<br>push for donations throughout the year in<br>order to secure the full funding for the<br>refurbishment of the community centre<br>building. The year 2021 saw us secure<br>donations amounting to £32,474. As we are<br>registered to reclaim GiftAid we were able to<br>reclaim further funds of approximately<br>£11,000. Outgoings were limited to utilities,<br>professional fees and capital expenses<br>related to the premises renovation costs.<br>This amounted to a total outgoing of £75,187<br>leaving us with a healthy cash asset position<br>of £20,266 in the charity’s current account as<br>of 31stDecember 2021.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The cash assets at the end of the financial<br>year were categorised as belonging to the<br>unrestricted funds of the charity. The<br>building and the renovation costs have all<br>been paid for and there are no outstanding<br>debts owed by the charity. The trustees now<br>have a good understanding of the day-to-day<br>expenditures required to run the community<br>centre. We are mindful of the need for<br>continual programs of repairs and<br>refurbishments that will be required when<br>operating a community centre for public use.<br>The rising energy costs have also been<br>factored into future expenses. We have<br>therefore decided to set the reserve amount<br>at ten thousand pounds – with the aim of<br>revisiting and reassessing this at the first<br>quarter of the next financial year depending<br>on what day to day liabilities may arise once<br>the community centre has been operating for<br>a full 12 months. As at 31/12/21 the charity<br>has only the ongoing regular expenditures<br>related to the community centre building<br>(utilities and maintenance) and no<br>outstanding long-term debt.|

But if a<br>main risk was to be identified it would be the<br>unlikely scenario where the charity was<br>unable to generate income to pay for the<br>ongoing running costs of the centre now that<br>it is fully open for public use. The trustees<br>have set the reserve amount at the required<br>level to keep the centre running for at least<br>12 months even in the eventuality of no<br>incoming donations for that period of time<br>(e.g. further pandemic or extended lock<br>down periods etc).|

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2021. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
