2.1 Objective updates
During March 2021 AGM some changes to the charity objectives/purposes were purposed and accepted by the membership. These have been submitted to charity commission for approval. Once fully approved this section will be updated.
3. Trustees report
The Colchester Islamic Community Centre (CICC) first came into being in January 2017 and a fully registered charity in October 2017. Since inception, it has been working hard on these objectives and has matured and developed into an organisation which is recognised and respected by the Muslim community in Colchester and beyond.
CICC has hired venues and organised numerous, activities, social functions, educational lectures and conferences in Colchester.
3.1 Trustee board and governing document
Page 6 of 22
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 Friday 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.

Lack of fully staffed organisational structure,
-
Reliance on donations to raise enough finance for further improvements/development of the property,
-

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

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 FY2021-22 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.

4. Achievements and Performance
4.1 During period 1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022
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 4 objectives. As COVID restrictions eased CICC returned to offering in-person activities as well as keeping some Zoom activities which members preferred to keep, e.g. online exercise classes
4.1.1 Advance Faith
Many of CICC’s activities and events advanced the faith, amongst them were women’s Qur’an classes, 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 was delayed by the pandemic, consequently all efforts in uniting the community have been conducted through a mix of social media Zoom and in-person events; 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 weekly classes held on Zoom. The aim being 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.

4.1.2.3 Annual women’s conference

4.1.2.4 Youth Circle
Youth Circle was suspended due to the pandemic.
4.1.2.5 Youth Football
As restrictions eased, due to the pandemic, a kids football game was organised on 24th October 2022.

Beauties of Ramadan, The Angels, The Holy Quran, Last 10 days of Ramadan, Start as we mean to go on, Duas, The Companions, Iman Al-Ghazali and a year series of monthly lectures on the topic of from Islam to Imam started in January 2022. All were well attended.
At the start of this reporting year it was still difficult to hold in-person social events due to the pandamic. However, as restrictions eased CICC held a family fun day in October 2021, giving everyone the opportunity to meet up again, share a meal and including some fun activities for the children to do.
Additionally, a series of information talks on health and wellbeing were delivered online throughout the year, with the aim of improving awareness of eating well, exercising and certain illnesses including the coronavirus, with speakers talking on topics from their professional specialism. Topics included . Early signs of Cancer, Eating for Health, Food, diet and wellbeing, Weighing up weight loss in Islam, Omicron and Benefits of a Booster. A series of online exercise classes were also available.

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.
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. During the pandemic these had to be temporarily suspended but started again in February 2022.
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
