The principal activities of the company include :
The charity is meeting it's objectives by undertaking the following activities: -

-
d) Providing a place for recreation, training, Islamic education, socialising and networking.

Summary of the main achievements during the period
Premises Capacity and Service Limitations:
The current capacity of our premises continues to limit our ability to expand the services we offer to the community, despite growing demand. As a result, we have been unable to increase the number of children we are able to teach, with the current capacity capping at approximately 50 children. Until we secure the necessary funding to acquire additional property, which presents a significant challenge for a small charity such as ours, this limitation will remain in place.
- Charitable Activities and Focus:
This year, our charitable activities continued to focus on supporting vulnerable individuals in our community particularly those experiencing extreme poverty and severe health challenges on an international scale. Unfortunately, the number of global crises has been high, limiting our capacity to address all urgent needs. Consequently, we have had to make difficult decisions regarding which causes to prioritise.
- Collaboration with UK Charities:
Our partnerships with other UK-registered charities remain essential to the delivery of aid to thost most in need. As we lack the logistical infrastructure to procure and distribute supplies directly at the most critical locations, both locally and internationally, we rely on these collaborations to maximise the impact of the funds we raise.

THE TALEEM UL QURAN TRUST Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Taleem Ul Quran Trust for the year ended 30 April 2024
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2024, which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
