Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | 1. To appeal and fundraise to purchase, acquire, or otherwise establish a Centre to be used as a Mosque, learning and fitness facilities and Islamic funeral arrangements for the Muslims Community and the public in general. 2. Set up learning classes and language support to promote the teaching of moderate Islamic views 3. Render social service by providing advice and support to community members who might not otherwise get the help they need from the relevant authorities whenever possible. 4. Organise workshops and activities to raise awareness among the community members, in particular, the young people of other faiths and the impact of anti-social behaviour to help them integrate into the wider society in an atmosphere of self-confidence. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
NSIC has ambitious objectives to achieve, and the organisation is slowly developing. The organisation is planning to raise sufficient funds to enable the acquisition or rent of a space which will be used for key activities, such as a prayer space, community gathering for social events, and after-school classes for language and mathematics and science-based subjects. The group was able to lease a place to carry out some of the above activities, including social gatherings, region observation, children's activities, including afterschool clubs, etc. This year, we have more members who have committed to continuous financial support, and this has helped NSIC to commence some of its activities. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | NSIC relies on its members’ financial contributions and any donations from the general public. Financial management and internal control policy and procedures were in place, which helped regulate the operation of the charity's finances. NISC has formed a financial committee which manages and controls the organisation's finances based on the guidance issued by the commission. |

| Policy on grant making |
Para 1.38 | NSIC has not yet put any policy on grant-making, as we want to ensure that our membership is committed to supporting the organisation financially before turning to the grant-making options. |
| Policy on social investment including program related investment |
Para 1.38 | The main purpose of the charity is to secure funds to purchase, acquire, or otherwise establish a Centre to be used as a Mosque, learning and fitness facilities and Islamic funeral arrangements. Any funds collected will only be used for this purpose; any reserve funds will also be used to achieve the charity's objectives. |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | Volunteers, including the trustees, have been contributing financially towards the organisation since its establishment. The trustees and the volunteers also contribute their time to the charity by attending meetings, contributing to housekeeping/cleaning, and performing relevant admin tasks. This helped to keep the running costs of the charity to a minimum. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The organisation was able to enrol further members, who have made a generous financial contribution, but still not sufficient to acquire a space for the charity activities sustainably, as planned in the objectives. Therefore, the group has rented a space to run its activities. The space is used for various activities, including region observation (for both males and females) and after-school club activities for young people. The space is also used by the members for running their social and cultural activities, including social and cultural gatherings. |

Para 1.24 | To date, the charity is relying on its members' contributions. The funds gathered before renting the current space have helped the charity cover the annual deficit. |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Although some of the charity’s objectives have not yet been achieved, due to a lack of sufficient sustainable revenue, the charity is tapping into its own resources for its continuity. The current rented space has helped the charity to gain momentum, and its membership has also grown. This helped the charity continue to run some of the key activities. |
