3.1 Trustee board and governing document

CICC Annual Report No 03 - 10_05_2021 v1_Signed

Page 5

CICC Annual Report

At inception, CICC had nine interim trustees, who were selected to stand for a maximum of 18 months. They were then replaced by trustees who were elected to the post in an election held In March 2019 (see below). CICC is bound by its governing document, the Constitution.

3.2 Elections

An independent election committee was set up to replace the outgoing trustees and to oversee election of a new set of trustees.

The election committee contacted the individual registered members of CICC to nominate up to 9 individuals for the post of trustee. There were 12 trustee nominations, all of whom fulfilled the Charity Commission’s criteria. All 9 trustee positions were filled, and the results were announced at the AGM on 31st March 2019. The Charity commission online portal was updated with the details of the new substantial trustees. A chairman, secretary and treasurer were chosen internally by the trustees.

Further changes to the trustees was proposed at March 2021 AGM. These are going through formal approval processes.

3.3 Management structure and meetings

Monthly meetings are held attended by Trustees and volunteers. These are generally on the first Saturday of the month in line with the CICC constitution.. Several ad-hoc trustee meetings are held when important decisions need to be made. All meetings are carefully documented by the secretary. Two AGMs were held: 13[th] May 2018 and 31st March 2019 where CICC members were updated on progress of the charity and given an opportunity to have their say.

AGM planned to be held in March 2020, had to be cancelled due to the pandemic and lockdown A Zoom based AGM was held March 2021.

3.4 Membership

Membership is free. Members can join online, through the website or at events. CICC has a strict policy on data protection and is GDPR compliant.

3.5 Governance

Policies and procedures are under development. Volunteers working with youth and vulnerable adults were required to complete satisfactory DBS checks and safeguarding training. CICC has a safeguarding policy for children and is currently developing further policies and procedures to ensure highest standards of governance.

3.6 Risk Management

CICC Annual Report No 03 - 10_05_2021 v1_Signed

Page 6

CICC Annual Report

Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to manage risk. Risks are identified and discussed at trustee meetings. Current Risks identified are:-

• Lack of fully staffed organisational structure

• Reliance on donations to raise enough finance for further improvements/development of the property

• Reliance on donations to cover ongoing costs

• Lack of venue to hold activities. Property has been purchased but needs major renovation before can be used.

Systems to control risks include developing a full organizational structure and ongoing fundraising to meet the needs of the charity.

3.7 Finances

CICC has two bank accounts, a general expense account and a property account. Money can only be withdrawn from the property account if it is for an expense related to the property. Money can only be withdrawn from the expense account by cheque, signed by two separate trustees of CICC.

3.8 Fundraising

CICC is registered for gift aid which increases the value of donations from UK taxpayers. During FY 2019-20 significant funding raising activities were undertaken to raise the remaining funds needed to complete purchase of a property for £475,000 by September 2019. During FY2020-21 General funding continues to support the charity. However due to COVID no major funding raising was undertaken.

3.9 Website and social media

CICC has website under the domain www.cicc.co.uk. The website became operational in February 2018 and gives a wealth of information about CICC including activities and events, and also allows visitors to register, become a member, donate, volunteer and look up prayer times.

The dominant platform for communicating with members is WhatsApp. CICC also has a twitter and facebook account and is seeking to increase its presence on social media.

3.10Property

After a long search a suitable property was found, on the outskirts of Colchester. Members were consulted at the AGM on 31st March 2019 about this property. This property was successfully purchased in September 2019.

During FY2020-21 minor refurbishment of the property continues. Major refurbishment is being planned.

4. Achievements and Performance

4.1 During period 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021

CICC continues to work on setting up and establishing activities and events based on the community needs in line with our charitable objectives, most of which overlap all 3 objectives. During the whole of this reporting period the UK was facing a pandemic with varying levels of lockdown restrictions. As a result, CICC moved all its activities to online platforms such as Zoom.

4.1.1 Advance Faith

Many of CICC’s activities and events advanced the faith, amongst them were women’s Qur’an classes, Arabic lessons, and CICC lecture series, all held via Zoom. It is anticipated that once the community centre is refurbished and the pandemic over, most activities and events will take place at the centre. More details of the held activities/ events can be found under the second and third objectives as there is an overlap.

4.1.2 Benefit community & Establish Community Centre

A lot of effort has gone into spawning an environment at CICC’s events/ activities where Muslims from whichever background, can feel at ease with each other. Evidence of success in this endeavour can be seen through the sense of unity that has built up amongst the members and the overall benefit that has had on the community. All CICC activities have been designed and organised for the benefit of the community. A building was purchased in September 2019 to serve as CICC’s community centre, but needs a lot of refurbishment. Progress has been delayed by the pandemic, consequently all efforts in uniting the community have been conducted through social media and Zoom; further details below.

In addition to this and in response to the pandemic, CICC formed a Wellbeing team with the aim of supporting our membership through this unprecedented time, e.g. by delivering groceries/ prescriptions to those self-isolating and keeping in contact with those at risk of loneliness.

4.1.2.1 Women’s Quran class

Due to lockdown and the need to keep a feeling of togetherness within the community, the weekly ladies’ Quran class was replaced with daily classes held on Zoom The aim is to bring women together to learn how to recite the Quran correctly with its rules. It is open to all women regardless of prior knowledge and includes teaching the basics of Arabic to new Muslims.

4.1.2.2 Revert Support Network (those who converted to Islam)

CICC has a ‘Revert Support Network’ and runs a Revert Circle (now held on Zoom) once a month that aims to create an environment where New Muslims , or those interested in Islam can learn about the faith through talks/ workshops, mix with people similar to themselves and gain more confidence to mix with the wider community, thus preventing social isolation.

4.1.2.8 Squash and Cycling

The CICC has organised opportunities to engage in sport on an adhoc basis. This encourages socialization of the Muslim community through engaging in healthy activities. These session continued sporadically, in accordance with the local lockdown restrictions.

4.1.2.9 Eid prayer in the park

The CICC worked with other Islamic charities such as the Colchester Mosque (CICA) for the wider benefit of the Muslim community in Colchester, e.g. by helping with the facilitation of the Eid prayers, run by CICA, so they would be free and easily accessible However this year restrictions, as to attendance, needed to be in place due to COVID19 safety measures.

4.1.2.10 Establish a community centre

One of CICC’s objectives was to provide a community facility to cater for the needs of Muslims and to promote social welfare, education and racial harmony. As well as providing, much needed, additional prayer facilities. CICC found a suitable premises and work started on refurbishment. Due to the pandemic work was slowed down and is still ongoing.

4.1.3 Religious Harmony

All of the aforementioned activities and events also aim to provide religious harmony, primarily within the Muslim Community. The Muslim community comprises of a variety of people from all over the world, with different cultures. CICC has been successful in promoting respect, understanding and religious harmony between this diverse community through the various activities and events organised. Many of CICC’s events are also open to people of other faith or none.

As serving the community is very important in Islam, CICC has developed specific services and an outreach programme to benefit the whole community.

4.1.3.1 Bereavement support

CICC has a dedicated team that offers the community funeral and bereavement support. As Colchester Muslims do not yet have the appropriate facilities for burials, there is collaboration with Hunnabal Funeral Directors in Colchester and CICA.

4.1.3.2 Sisters Coffee mornings

Sisters’ Coffee Mornings take place every month and is part of our outreach programme. It aims to bring Muslim women, women of other faiths, or no faith, together to enjoy a cup of tea/coffee. It offers an opportunity to socialise and help each other. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic these had to be temporarily suspended.

4.1.3.3 Revert Support

The Revert Support Network mentioned above is also part of CICC’s outreach programme.

4.1.3.4 Eid prayers in the Park

As a further part of the outreach program and to encourage wider community focus and better understanding of the Muslim faith, as portrayed through action, CICC aims to help other charities and the needy in the local community. As mentioned above, CICC members have volunteered to help Priory Street Mosque (CICA) run the Eid prayers in the Castle Park.

4.1.3.5 Iftars (Feeding the fasting)

As part of our outreach programme, money was raised to sponsor iftars for; students at Essex University and Priory Street Mosque during Ramadan.
