## **HIDAYA FOUNDATION Trustees' Annual Report**
**Charity name:** Hidaya Foundation
## **Charity registration number:** 1172142
**Period:** From 01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024
## **I. Objectives and Activities**
## **Objectives**
Hidaya Foundation has been established in March 2017 and registered with the charity commission to help and support the community in different aspects.
The first objective of our foundation is to help advance of the religion of Islam by promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for worship and Islamic education. This is all done in accordance with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him) as interpreted by the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaah School of Thought.
As part of our objectives, we aim at supporting to relieve financial hardship, distress and suffering among poor people, victims of natural disasters and other people in need by making grants or loans for providing or paying for items, equipment, services and facilities, including the provision of food, clothing, and accommodation for the said persons.
Eventually, our foundation gives a central place to advancing of education for the benefit of the poor, the underprivileged and the general public by providing or assisting in the provision of educational activities and facilities.
## **Main Activities**
When developing all the activities below, our trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and in particular supplementary public benefit guidance on the advancement of religion.
## **A. After School Religious activities for children**
This after-school activity has still been the main activity with the community as the previous periods.
The classes continued to emphasise on the perfection of the Quran reading and the teaching of the main principles of Islam to children aged between 5 and 16. Parents meetings and reports were organised throughout the period to track the progress of the students and ensure the teachings is up to standard.
The fees to join to the after-school classes were of £43 per month per child as it has been in the previous periods (Discount was given for siblings).
## **B. Evening classes for adults (Men only)**
As an organisation’s first objective is to help advance the religion, by offering classes of memorisation of Quran, we believe that these adults will be exposed directly to the Quran and its peace messages away from any wrong interpretation. This will then make them helpful and amiable people in their surroundings. The format of the classes has continued the same as our previous reporting period every evening from 7pm to 9pm. The students pay a fee of £43 per month.
## **C. Classes for ladies**
These classes have been given to the ladies of the community to bring them close to education and get them a wider knowledge and culture in the sciences of Quran. A qualified volunteer teacher has taught the basics of reading Quran in a regular way. Most of the ladies attending are housewives making it an opportunity
## **D. Adults Religious Evening Classes**
The project started in September 2021 has successfully continued throughout this reporting period. The aim is to teach adults the main rules of Islam applying to live in harmony within the society having a positive impact on the community.
The student paid an annual fee of £800, students with financial hardship were either given discount or being sponsored.
## **E. Fundraising for the earthquake in Morocco**
In September 2023 when one of the regions in South Morocco was devastated with a catastrophic earthquake, we have participated in raising funds to get the help to the people affected. We have raised £2,675 through direct donations and £5,000 from another charity (REVIVE), this was transferred to trusted charities in Morocco to get the most needed help in the devastated regions.
## **II. Achievements and Performance**
Through this reporting period we have continued the activities started previously and developed new activities. We have managed to manage the following :
- Continue to give to the children who have attended an induction to reading Arabic in view of being able to understand the basics of Islam.
- Teach to some of the children the art of reading the Quran enabling them to memorise it. Introduce them to the importance of good morals and ethics to be able to live in harmony within the society.
- Introduce adults to the reading and memorisation of the holy Quran, the aim being to create a spiritual purification that leads to the person being more calm and relaxed and would have then a positive impact on their social lives.
- Offering classes to the ladies to enable them to be more active in their social lives and have a more positive approach on the religious topics.
- Developed the adults evening classes to train future religious leaders who can lead by example in the society with values of tolerance and well-wishing to others.
- Participated with the solidarity shown to the affected victims of the earthquake in Morocco
