Ilm Tree Foundation primarily focuses on its core charitable activity, which involves running a weekend Islamic supplementary school. This school serves as a vital platform for providing education to students about their faith, fostering a deeper understanding of Islamic principles, traditions, and values. While the emphasis is on religious education, the organisation goes a step further in its mission by promoting the development of well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to the broader society.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The educational program extends beyond religious teachings. Students are encouraged to not only understand and practice their faith but also to become exemplary British citizens. To achieve this, Ilm Tree Foundation integrates community engagement, social projects, and various activities into the curriculum. This multifaceted approach ensures that students are not only well-versed in Islamic teachings but also equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to be responsible and active members of the broader British community.
Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 and have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Due to the COVID pandemic, learning had to switch to online which meant our student numbers reduced significantly.
