The control and management of the Charity is the responsibility of the trustees. The trustees freely volunteer their time and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

5.0 Appointment and Induction of Trustees

No new trustees have been appointed this year. If required the Trustees will recruit new trustees. Trustees will be chosen for their understanding of the community and will have earned the respect of the wider community or have the potential to do so.

When recruiting new trustees, the Trustees will seek to identify people who,

Potential trustees will be invited to observe board meeting where the charity's aims and activities will be outlined.

Once agreed by the Trustees they will be appointed, new trustees will be introduced to their role and given copies of key publications from the Charity Commission. They are also signposted to other resources including the guidance on charities and public benefit and the advancement of religion for the public benefit to ensure new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially, new trustees will work with an existing trustee assisting with particular activities and projects run by the charity.

6.0 Risk Management

The trustees assess risks on a project-by-project basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems are in place to safeguard the organisation and the beneficiaries.

7.0 Objectives of the Organisation

8.0 Strategies

The trustees still have a long term aim to build a "Peace Centre" which will be a one-stop facility where all people (people of faith and no faith, Muslims and non-Muslims) or those who wish to know more about our faith can gather together to learn. This facility will be accessible to all who wish to understand real Islam in the 21st century and its compatibility with global universal values and train the next generation of youth and Imams.

9.0 Activities for the Financial Year

The activities of "The Peace Institute" have been curtailed. The work undertaken has been varied and mainly concerning nurturing youth and raising concerns regarding injustices and prejudices mainly in the holy lands.

Our activities and initiatives included the following;

9.1 Interfaith Forums

The trustees feel the interfaith forum is an excellent vehicle to portray Islam as a peaceful way of life. Following the resignation from the North Kirklees Interfaith the trustee plan to reengage with the forum in due course.

9.2 Faith advisory work with School, Colleges and Universities

The Peace Institute engages with various Schools, Colleges and Universities in the region for faith-related expertise to offer confidential advice and resolve conflicts / potential conflicts.

9.3 Plight of Muslims Globally

The Peace Institute continues to raise awareness through seminars, public meetings, collecting donations, writing to officials and holding special prayers. This year like previously, we have been active in supporting the plight of Muslims and Christians in Palestine and India.

9.4 Islamic Marriage and counselling

Directors continue to,

10.0 Income Sources

All the funds received by The Peace Institute are solely from Muslim donors in the form of Zakat, Sadaqa, Fitrana and Lillah. We have not received funding from any other source this year or previously.

11.0 Going Concerns

The Peace Institute is a stable organisation and meets its current obligations and continue its charitable work for the foreseeable future. Its activities are run by the trustees and volunteers in a purely voluntary capacity.

12.0 Trustees' Responsibilities

The Charities Act requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are

required to;

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
