GUIDANCE HUB

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Structure, governance and management

Guidance Hub (the “Charity”) is a charitable incorporated organisation and received charitable status in May 2017.

Organisational structure

The Trustees are responsible for the general management of the Charity and ensuring that all legal requirements are met. The Trustees receive no remuneration or other financial benefits from their role as trustee. The management structure consists of employed colleagues and volunteers who are supported to efficiently carry out their duties to meet the charitable objectives.

The Trustees meet on a quarterly basis, physically and/or online, and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the Charity. To assist in the smooth running of the Charity, the Trustees have established a number of sub-committees to help oversee certain aspects of the Charity’s work. An example of such is the education committee.

The Trustees are responsible for formulating the strategies and policies of the Charity in line with guidelines set by the Charity Commission. This includes the approval of budgets and the exercising of financial controls. A major aspect of the Charity is the many voluntary hours and unclaimed out of pocket expenses contributed by its volunteer helpers. It is impossible to quantify the value of such support but the Trustees wish to place on record their appreciation of the commitment and dedication shown by our employed colleagues and volunteers.

Appointment and training of Trustees

Trustees appoint a new trustee by nominating candidates based on their commitment and understanding of the ethos and vision of Guidance Hub and their availability. Potential trustees are invited to attend a Trustees’ meeting as an observer and are given more details of the Charity’s aims and activities and, if all the Trustees agree, they are then proposed as a new trustee at the following Trustees’ meeting. The process allows due consideration of the person’s eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills.

Following appointment, a new trustee is introduced to their new role and given copies of the Charity’s constitution, guided to the policies and procedures adopted by the Charity and signposted to the number of publications from the Charity Commission. This ensures that new trustee is aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.

Objectives

Our vision is to build a vibrant, productive and prosperous community.

Our objectives are:

In planning our activities, we have considered guidance from the Charity Commission to ensure we meet our public benefit requirements. Our objectives, activities and developments are reviewed annually.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Our Strategy

To achieve our objectives, Guidance Hub focuses on three interconnected areas: Education, Community, and Spirituality. These pillars shape our programmes, partnerships, and long-term vision for creating positive and sustainable change.

Education - to deliver knowledge in an accessible way through a variety of means, providing guidance and strong grounding in the principles of our shared faith to all members of our community. These means include one-year diploma courses, short courses, intensives, online classes, seminars, exhibitions, workshops and children’s academy.

Community - To address the social issues faced by our community through servitude as encouraged by our tradition. This is by supporting those less fortunate, addressing issues of health and wellbeing, providing social and recreational activities and sports, working with the youth and vulnerable residents and improving the environment.

Spirituality - To review and nurture the hearts and souls of our community. This is to be provided through spiritual gatherings, spiritual retreats, events with guest scholars, new-revert support and spiritual counselling.

Waterloo Centre

Since formally acquiring the Waterloo Centre in Cheetham Hill, Manchester in September 2017, the building has continued to play a central role in delivering our charitable objectives. Now in its eighth year under our care, the Centre has become a thriving hub of learning, spiritual growth, and community engagement.

Over the year, the Waterloo Centre has facilitated a wide range of impactful activities and services, including:

Educational Courses & Events

Multiple classrooms and a main hall enabled the delivery of educational programmes, youth workshops, and community seminars.

Manchester Qur’an Academy (MQA)

Our flagship Arabic programme for children and teens, with structured classes delivered throughout the week.

Youth Activities & Camps

Regular indoor youth clubs, outdoor retreats, holiday programmes, and leadership development sessions.

Spiritual Gathering

Hosting regular sessions of meditation, traditional devotional songs, and reflective circles.

Physical Wellbeing

Weekly classes in jiu-jitsu, boxing, sports, and fitness circuits for both youth and adults including women only sessions, promoting healthy lifestyles.

Community Events & Support Service

The Centre served as a venue for social activities, networking events, wellbeing circles, business forums, formfilling support, and coffee mornings.

Head Office & Administration

The Centre remains the operational base for Guidance Hub’s management, project planning, and community outreach.

The Waterloo Centre continues to be a welcoming and inclusive space, providing our local community with access to essential services, safe social spaces, and pathways for personal and spiritual development.

Our Partners

At Guidance Hub, we believe that meaningful partnerships are essential for amplifying our impact and delivering high-quality services to the community. Over the past year, we have continued to prioritise collaboration and cross-sector working - an approach that has strengthened our programmes and widened our reach.

Over this year, we were proud to develop and deepen partnerships with a diverse range of respected organisations across health, education, youth services, and community development. These collaborations have enabled us to co-design and deliver more effective, inclusive, and sustainable projects for the people we serve.

We worked closely with:

These partnerships have been instrumental in supporting our work across youth empowerment, mental wellbeing, social cohesion, and education. Whether through co-hosted workshops, funded programmes, shared facilities, or strategic guidance, each partner has contributed to the growth and impact of our initiatives.

We look forward to building on these relationships and continuing to work together for the benefit of our communities in the year ahead.

Education

Education remains a cornerstone of Guidance Hub’s mission - to offer accessible, engaging, and relevant programmes rooted in traditional knowledge and attuned to the realities of modern life. Over the year, we continued to deliver a wide range of courses and workshops, reaching a diverse and growing community of learners.

Our programmes cater to all levels -from beginners seeking foundational knowledge to more advanced students exploring theology, jurisprudence, spirituality, prophetic biography, Arabic language, and history. All courses are delivered by qualified instructors with a strong grounding in classical scholarship and a practical understanding of today’s challenges. Key developments over the year have been:

Our educational approach emphasises personal transformation alongside academic development. Courses blend traditional instruction with discussion, peer learning, and mentorship, helping students apply sacred knowledge to everyday life.

Manchester Qur’an Academy

Our after-school programme for children and young people, continues to go from strength to strength. With over 60 enrolled students, including those with special educational needs, MQA continues to provide high-quality education in a nurturing and structured environment. It is staffed by trained and experienced teachers with SEN support structures in place, with strong safeguarding protocols in partnership with local authorities, and a curriculum that emphasises both memorisation and understanding, alongside manners and personal growth. Our aim is to help shape not just good students, but well-rounded, confident young citizens that are an asset to their families and the community of Greater Manchester.

Community

Guidance Hub’s community work continues to play a vital role in bringing people together, supporting wellbeing, and building a stronger, more inclusive local society. This year, we served over 2,500 individuals through a wide range of community-led initiatives that respond to local needs and promote cohesion.

Community Outreach

These programmes are rooted in our commitment to inclusive service. Whether supporting a mother struggling with isolation, a young person looking for direction, or an elderly resident in need of companionship, our community work helps people feel seen, supported, and connected. Key projects over the year were:

Health and Wellbeing

Improving health outcomes and addressing inequalities within underserved communities remained a major strategic priority for Guidance Hub. It forms part of our wider long-term vision of developing a holistic, community-rooted model of health and wellbeing support in Cheetham Hill and across North Manchester. Over the year, working collaboratively with statutory bodies, grassroots organisations, and residents, through the following initiatives, we strengthened our position as a trusted communitybased health partner, improving access and awareness to empower communities to take greater ownership of their wellbeing.

Long-Term Health Conditions Project (LTHCP)

Through this project, we were able to improve community engagement, increase awareness of available services, create opportunities to reduce isolation, promote healthier lifestyles, and support individuals facing barriers to accessing healthcare and wellbeing support. We believe this project represents an important example of communityled health intervention, demonstrating the value of trusted grassroots organisations in addressing health inequalities and supporting preventative approaches to healthcare within our community.

Community Health Equity Manchester (CHEM)

Guidance Hub was also appointed as Chair of the Pakistani Sounding Board for CHEM. This role recognised our growing leadership within community health engagement and our trusted relationships with the diverse Pakistani communities across Manchester.

In this role, we brought together organisations and community representatives from across the city, facilitating productive and well-attended meetings, to strengthen collaboration, amplify community voices, and improve dialogue around health inequalities affecting Pakistani communities. This resulted in our local Pakistani community having a stronger voice in health equity discussions which included culturally appropriate healthcare access, prevention, mental wellbeing, long-term health conditions, and community trust in health services.

We believe these leadership roles form an important bridge between statutory health systems and underserved communities, helping ensure local voices are represented within wider health strategy and decision-making processes. It ensures that local voices are not only heard but actively influence discussions and decision-making. In doing so, we help shape health services that are more accessible, relevant, and responsive to the needs of our local Pakistani communities.

The transformative impact of these initiatives is evident across the communities we serve and we welcome partnerships with funders and supporters who share our vision for positive change.

Youth Hub

Over the year, we significantly scaled up our youth engagement efforts, reflecting our strategic commitment to nurturing the next generation of confident, compassionate, and capable leaders. Our aim is to provide a safe, inspiring, and developmentally rich environment where young people can grow emotionally, spiritually, socially, and physically.

We recognise that today’s youth face unprecedented pressures - from the impact of social media to socio-economic inequality and a growing mental health crisis. In response, we’ve invested in innovative programming, trusted mentorship, and crosssector partnerships to equip young people with the tools they need to thrive. Key activities and achievements over the year were:

Weekly Youth Clubs

Our weekly youth sessions for 10-16-year-olds have grown in popularity, offering a structured and engaging space for social connection, self-development, and fun. Activities include team-building games, arts and crafts, sports, and discussions on values, identity, and future planning.

Regular Sports & Fitness

We maintained weekly football, boxing, and martial arts sessions, supporting both physical health and emotional regulation. These activities provide healthy outlets for energy and stress and foster teamwork and discipline.

Outdoor Treks and Trips

From guided nature walks in the Peak District to group outings across the Northwest, we provided safe, supervised outdoor experiences that help young people connect with the natural world and each other.

Workshops and Career Guidance

We hosted workshops on topics such as personal development, mental wellbeing, and careers in STEM and the creative industries. We also launched pilot sessions for CV building and interview preparation, with positive feedback from participants and parents alike.

Young Leadership Programme

Selected youth participants took part in leadership training that involved event planning, public speaking, and community volunteering - empowering them to take ownership of their personal development and lead by example.

Hope for Cheetham Steering Group

We continued our role in the Hope for Cheetham initiative, working alongside schools, youth workers, and local agencies to create holistic support for vulnerable young people. Through this group, we helped shape responses to safety, opportunity gaps, and youth empowerment in Cheetham Hill.

Cheetham Youth Forum

In collaboration with local partners, Guidance Hub facilitates Cheetham Youth Forum, a platform giving young people a voice in decisions that affect their lives and neighbourhood. The forum brings together youth representatives to discuss issues, propose solutions, and co-create change with adults in power. This model promotes active citizenship and civic responsibility from a young age.

Through these initiatives we have been able to:

Our Youth Hub is now regarded as one of the most trusted and inclusive youth spaces in the area. We are committed to sustaining and expanding this vital work and invite funders and partners to join us in helping local young people fulfil their potential and become beacons of hope for their communities.

Spiritual Gatherings and Retreats

Spirituality remains at the heart of Guidance Hub’s vision and work. We continued creating transformative spaces designed to nurture the soul, strengthen community connection, and provide individuals with a sense of grounding, reflection, and purpose in an increasingly fast-paced and disconnected world.

Our spiritual programmes brought together people from diverse backgrounds, ages, and professions through gatherings rooted in remembrance, sacred knowledge, reflection, service, and companionship. These programmes continue to play a vital role in supporting emotional wellbeing, strengthening identity, and fostering a deeper connection to faith and community.

Community Gatherings

Our weekly and monthly spiritual gatherings at the Waterloo Centre continued to attract consistent attendance from across Greater Manchester and beyond. These gatherings combined spiritual reminders, reflective discussions, devotional recitals, and opportunities for meaningful social connection in a warm and welcoming environment.

Sessions focused on themes such as sincerity, gratitude, prophetic character, service to others, and spiritual self-development. Many attendees described these gatherings as a source of comfort, belonging, and renewal amidst the pressures of modern life. Throughout the year, we also hosted special events during key moments in the community calendar, creating opportunities for collective reflection, remembrance, supplication, and community cohesion.

Sahih Muslim Hadith Recital

In December 2024, we hosted at the Ashton Central Mosque, Greater Manchester, our biggest event to date, the complete recital of Sahih Muslim. A tradition of oral narration via authentic chains of transmission with one of the world’s leading and acclaimed experts in Arabic palaeography and the tradition of Hadith narration, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi.

The recital was delivered with great precision, accompanied by commentary on linguistic variations and typographical nuances within the tradition of hadith narration. It was presented to around 600 attendees from Greater Manchester and around the world over 11 consecutive days, with sessions running for approximately 10 hours each day. Sessions began around 7am and continued until as late as 10pm. The event culminated with a monumental finale on the final day with thousands of attendees and faith leaders from across the country along with several thousands of viewers online.

This landmark gathering not only positioned Guidance Hub as a trusted centre for sacred learning, scholarship, and spiritual development, but also demonstrated the ability of a grassroot organisation based in Manchester to facilitate world-class gatherings that attract global participation. For many attendees, this rare but rich tradition of hadith recital represented an opportunity to connect with living chains of sacred knowledge, strengthen scholarly networks, and experience spiritual companionship within an environment rooted in sincerity, service, and traditional learning.

Retreats and Spiritual Experiences

We continued to deliver a range of retreats and immersive spiritual experiences throughout the year, responding to the growing need for spaces that support reflection, wellbeing, personal growth, and connection.

Our annual women’s retreats continued to grow in reach and impact, offering structured experiences that combined spirituality, wellbeing, reflection, and sisterhood in natural settings. Activities included spiritual reminders, group reflection, wellbeing circles, outdoor walks, nature-based activities, creative and reflective sessions, devotional gatherings, and social events. These provided safe spaces for women from diverse backgrounds to build relationships, support one another emotionally and spiritually.

Men’s retreats and outdoor experiences also offered opportunities for reflection, brotherhood, physical activity, and informal mentoring in a supportive environment away from daily pressures.

Overall, these programmes have supported improved wellbeing, stronger community bonds, and a greater sense of purpose and belonging. They have become a key part of our work, with continued growth in participation, demand and support from the local community.

Financial review

The financial position of charity as at 31 July 2025 was showing: -

£ Unrestricted funds 34,560 Restricted funds 499,507 ────── Total funds 534,067 ══════

The principle funding of the charity is from donations.

Reserve policy

It is the trustees’ intention to generate a balance of unrestricted reserves, which will allow for the operation of the charity.

Investment policy

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that a building society or bank deposit account meets their requirements should funds be available to invest.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

Under company law the trustees have the same legal responsibilities as company directors and the title is interchangeable.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and the profit and loss of the company for that year. In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with special provisions of section 477 of Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
