HIDAYA FOUNDATION Trustees' Annual Report

Charity name: Hidaya Foundation

Charity registration number: 1172142

Period: From 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025

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.

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 :

III. Financial Review

The total receipts for this reporting period was £171,512 :

The total payments made during this period were £165,488:

At the end of the period, the net result was an excess of receipts over payments of £6,024

The policy of our charity is to hold a minimum reserve amount (Not specified) to be able to cope with emergency repairs and unpredicted spending.

IV. Structure, Governance and Management

Hidaya Foundation is a CIO governed by a Constitution

The first charity trustees, herein referred to as ‘Founding Trustees’ are

Apart from the Founding Trustees, every trustee must be appointed only after a nomination from any one trustee is presented to the trustees, and the majority of the trustees pass a resolution to appoint the said trustee for a term determined by the trustees at a properly convened meeting of the Trustees.

Every charity trustee that has been and will be appointed met the following criteria:

No one is entitled to act as a charity trustee whether on appointment or on any re-appointment until he or she has expressly acknowledged, in whatever way the charity trustees decide, his or her acceptance of the office of charity trustee.

There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.

There shall be no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO.

In October 2024, the trustee Mohamed Sohail Niaz Amad resigned due to personal reasons and the 2 other trustees appointed Ahmed-Omar Greinch as a new trustee.
