**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **MUSLIM WORLD LEAGUE LONDON OFFICE TRUST** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **a. Policies and Objectives** 

The Objects of the Charity are applicable throughout the world and more particularly in the city of London and in the British Isles. 

The Charity's main objectives are the advancement of education for the public benefit concerning the teachings and religion of Islam, the relief of poverty, sickness and suffering of any persons who are in need irrespective of their nationality, race, ethnic origin and religious beliefs; the advancement of religious and racial harmony for the benefit of the public , and to further such other purposes which are charitable under the laws of England and Wales as the trustees may think fit. 

## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives** 

The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at its Mosque and the wider community. 

## **c. Activities for achieving objectives** 

The main activities of the Charity during this period have been: 

## **Religious** 

The Charity's activities were severely curtailed during the year following government lockdown restrictions except the first two months of the year. 

The charity provided packed food for distribution to those who wished to break their fast under "Ramadan Tent" project. It also distributed masks and hand sanitisers. 

The Charity provided financial assistance to UK based organisations with similar objectives as well as needy individuals. All applications for assistance are considered on a two-weekly basis, or earlier in case of emergency cases. All applications are vetted carefully and approved in accordance with the charity's donation policy. During the year a donation of £2,000 was made to a charity namely "13 River Trust" which provided help with the arrangement of burial for needy Muslims who died during the lockdown. 

## **Cultural** 

Eid celebrations and social events were suspended during the lock down following government guidelines. 

The Charity was chosen for a compliance visit and inspection by the Charity Commission. A virtual meeting was held on 25th November 2020 and was attended by two officials from the Charity Commission, an MWLLO trustee, its CEO, Its internal accountant as well as the legal adviser and the independent examiner to the Charity. 

The objective of the meeting was to assess the management of risk of receiving funds from MWLM and its ability to maintain independent decision making solely in the best interest of the charity. The visit also explored other areas of the Charity's governance, activities and administration in particular the invitation of speakers who have political affiliations. 

The compliance visit concluded by recommendations that trustees should read, consider and apply the guidance to protect the Charity from abuse for extremist purposes and the guidance relating to campaigning and political activity. The trustees have accepted the Charity Commission's recommendations and acted upon them. 

The Charity Commission also accepted Trustees representations that as income generated by the Charity from the retail unit and from the prospective development increases, the Charity will be less reliant on MWLM and this will enforce not only its independence but also its appearance to be independent.. 

During the year MWLLO was shortlisted for inclusion in the inaugural Exceptional Organisation & Leadership Parliamentary Report and Awards and was confirmed as a finalist in the British Parliamentary Awards which were due to take place on 27th March 2020. This event was postponed due to the lockdown and have now been rescheduled to take place in the Spring of 2022. 

MWLLO will receive "British Mark Five " star rating and will be able to display the Mark Logo in recognition of its effective  and exceptional leadership and will be listed in the **Exceptional Organisation& Leadership Parliamentary Report** which will enhance the Charity's standing in the community **.** 

During the trustees meeting held on 12th March 2020, the trustees decided to utilise two additional working names for the Charity (in addition to the MWLLO) in order to emphasize the importance of the Charity's educational and interfaith activities: the **Cultural Education Communication Forum** and the **CECF** . The Charity commission formally accepted this decision on 16th July 2020.

**MUSLIM WORLD LEAGUE LONDON OFFICE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **a: Going Concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Charity aims to maintain a level of reserves, excluding fixed assets, at a sufficient level to enable it to continue its work without any interruption, in case funds from Muslim World League in Makkah are delayed. 

## **b: Factors relevant to achieving Objectives** 

Over the past thirty five years, the Charity (firstly as a charitable trust and now as a charitable incorporated organisation) has established a reputation for trust, integrity and inclusivity. This is borne out by the high number of the local community members who attend prayers and engage with the Charity's activities , which has been made possible thanks to the longstanding support from The Muslim World League in Makkah which  continues to monitor and evaluate the Charity's performance and continue to extend their support. 

## **c: Reserves Policy:** 

The charity is an autonomous branch of,  and receives most of its funding from, the Muslim World League in Makkah. It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent at least to two months requirements, which will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding, the trustees will be able to continue the charity's activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The Muslim World League in Makkah is committed to ensuring that Muslim World League London Office trust is adequately funded. As at the 31 December 2020 the Charity unrestricted reserves stood at £442,75 (2019:£328,786 ) and the restricted reserves at £595,331 ( 2019: £613,477). 

## **d:  Principal funding** 

The principal and major donor is Muslim World League in Makkah (MWLM), Saudi Arabia. It (The Charity ) aims to be self-funding by relying on income it generates . 

It succeeded in obtaining planning permission to build a commercial unit as well as two residential units which will be rented or leased to generate income to further reduce its reliance on MWLM. 

It is expected that firms of architects will be invited to submit tenders in early 2022 and the actual building work to commence in early 2023 . 

During the year the charity received "Job Retention Scheme Grants " totalling £118,646 from the government. The receipt of these grants continued until September 2021. 

Rental income from the shop was disrupted during the year due to the lockdown. A discount of £11,250 was given to occupier of the shop and although a balance of £90,000 remained outstanding at the year end, no credit was taken for the outstanding rent in this year's account but will be accounted for when received in the following year. 

## **e: Risk Management:** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have drawn up a risk matrix which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of the risks, the likelihood of the risk happening and the measures taken to manage them. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified. The charity has decided to limit speakers at congregations primarily to employees of the charity only. In the event that a speaker from outside the organisation is invited, he or she will be fully vetted prior to the invitation. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** 

M. Said & Co., Chartered Certified Accountants were appointed as Independent Examiners to the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed for the year ended 31st December 2021 will be put to the Board of Trustees.

Rental income for the year represents rent received for one quarter and part payment of the second quarter. As the retail unit was closed during the lockdown, a small discount was given to the occupier thereby leaving a balance of £90,000 outstanding at the year end. Although this balance is expected to be received by the Charity, it (the outstanding rent) was not accounted for in the current year but will be accounted for in the year in which it will be received in accordance with the prudence concept.

a: The restricted funds consist of freehold building and associated alterations to premises as well as relevant balances at the bank. 

b: The unrestricted funds are available for the day to day running of the charity. 

## **14 Related Party Transaction and Trustees' remuneration** 

No remuneration directly or indirectly out of the funds of the charity was paid or is payable to any trustees or to any person or persons known to be connected with any of them. 

## **15: Post Balance Sheet Events** 

The development of the premises at 3 Goodge Place London W1T 4SA was delayed due to the lockdown. It is anticipated that the Charity will invite tenders for the detailed design of the building in early 2022 and the actual building work to commence in early 2023. 

In early October 2021 the Charity's employees returned back to work, the Charity opened its doors to the Public and resumed its normal activities. 

During the year MWLLO was shortlisted for inclusion in the inaugural Exceptional Organisation & Leadership Parliamentary Report and Awards and was confirmed as a finalist in the British Parliamentary Awards which were due to take place on 27th March 2020. This event was postponed due to the lockdown and have now been rescheduled to take place in the Spring of 2022.
