## **Introduction** 

All Praises are for Allah Subhanahu Ta’ala (SWT), Lord of the Worlds, Peace and Blessing be upon the Absolute Final Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), upon his family and his rightly guided companions. Aameen. 

Respected Members in Islam, 

I am pleased to present to you all, the Trustees 36th Annual report and accounts for Anjuman-E-Zinatul Islam (herein referred to as ANJUMAN) for the period 2020 (01/01/2020 – 31/12/2020). 

We begin by thanking Allah SWT who is most merciful and most benevolent, who’s mercy transcends in greater degree and assurance than what we can comprehend. 

No one could have imagined the circumstances that befell us and the entire humanity in 2020 and continue to do so for all of us. The challenges faced by us all and the impact on our ways of life has been such that not many of us will have ever experienced this before. 

The pandemic has been unprecedented in disrupting our normal routine, none, more felt by the closure of our Masajids. We pray to the Almighty that our Masajid continues to stay open and are never closed again. Aameen. 

We experienced a Ramadhan like never before, the usual mercy and blessing of Ramadhan in our Masjid, whether that be Taraweeh, Majlis, Tilawat of the Holy Quran or simply sitting in the Masjid and feeling the mercy of Allah SWT descend upon us has all been greatly missed. 

The personal impact on those who have directly suffered ill health due to the virus, or seen close family and friends suffer or unfortunately lost a loved one has been devastating, especially during a time when the usual support networks have not been allowed. In our own community we have seen our beloved members and people from our community who have left this world and returned to our creator. We make dua to the Almighty Allah that he forgives the sins of all those that have left us and grants them the highest levels of Jannat and gives sabr and strength to the family members. For those suffering from the long-term effects of the virus may Allah SWT grant them complete shifaa. Aameen. 

We have seen a myriad of additional impacts affecting many over the course of the year. Whether this be spiritual, financial or emotional. The challenges have been deep and affected each and every one of us. There will have been many that have struggled silently and those that continue to struggle without anyone knowing except Allah. We implore that we look after ourselves, our loved ones and members of our community as we have done, so magnificently over the past year. 

As you review this report, I urge you to look past the constraints of this pandemic to see the full radiance of our community’s work. Many of you may not have been able to frequent the Masajid as much as you would in the past, due to circumstances outside your control. I urge you to ensure that the realities of our missing handshakes and hugs, and our 

**4 |** P a g e 



physical isolation and social distancing does not stop us from seeing beyond our individual experiences and needs. 

On behalf of the Trustees, I wish to express our deepest gratitude to the countless individuals who have sacrificed and given so much to our Masjid and our community by Allah’s blessings and tawfeeq. I have witnessed first-hand the courage of those who stepped forward to serve the community, including setting up our own Taylor Street Outreach Team, despite the immense load each was carrying with their personal matters, their children, their businesses, and their livelihoods. I have never witnessed such an intense period of professional service and leadership. 

Prior to the Masjid opening up again for individual prayers in June and then to congregational prayers from July onwards, the trustees and volunteers have worked tirelessly in ensuring our Masjid is Covid secure, ensuring we had all the relevant risk assessments in place and making sure we minimized the risk to all our musallees as much as possible. Alhamdulillah, we ensured that there was provision for members to continue to donate their Jummah and Ramadhan Lillah and also for their Zakat to be fulfilled. We also introduced a card donating machine so once the Masjid was open worshippers could donate via contactless methods. 

I wanted to take this opportunity thank all our members who in spite of all the new norms we have had to adapt to, have been so observant of government restrictions and guidelines in ensuring our Masjid has been fully compliant with all the Covid regulations. 

Unfortunately, due to the government restrictions in place once again upon us since the 4th January 2021 we have been unable to set a date for our Annual General Meeting (AGM). With restrictions easing around when Ramadhan will start the trustees have made an executive decision to cancel this year’s AGM and the existing trustees staying in place for the coming year. As we have done at every AGM, we request all members to support the work of Anjuman by becoming an active trustee or supporting us in any way you can. If anyone would like to join the board of trustees for 2021 please contact any of the named individuals on page three of this report. 

Above all we pray that this pandemic is a means of us all getting closer to Allah SWT. If nothing else this pandemic must teach us that we need to re-evaluate our lives and which direction we are heading. This life is temporary and but a test for us all. We must use this opportunity from Allah SWT to change our lives. We pray that Allah SWT removes this affliction for all of humanity. Aameen. 

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the trustees/committee to ask for your forgiveness for any mistakes made this year and continue to ask to make dua for the whole community and humanity. 

May The Almighty accept all our efforts. Aameen.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing document** 

Anjuman was entered on the Register of Charities on 08 February 2018 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission under charity number **1177057** . It is governed by our constitution which was adopted on 15 October 2017. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of Anjuman. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. 

The trustees meet together as a body approximately every two months and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the Masjid and the community facilities and the activities provided by Anjuman. To assist in the smooth running of the charity the trustees have set up a number of sub-committees that help them oversee certain aspects of the charity’s work. Sub-committees are currently set up for marriage, maintenance and funeral provisions. The sub-committees provide updates when needed at the bi-monthly meeting of the trustees. The day-to-day leadership of prayers and religious worship and the management of the Madrassah is delegated to staff with the appropriate skills and qualifications. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

As per clause 13 of our constitution all trustees shall retire from office at the first Annual General Meeting of Anjuman. After this at every subsequent annual general meeting one third of all trustees shall retire from office. 

The vacancies from the first annual general meeting and subsequent annual general meetings shall be filled by the decision of members present at the meeting. Any vacancies not filled shall be in accordance with clause 13.5 of our constitution and shall be the responsibility for the recruitment of new trustees but in so doing the trustees seek the views and recommendations of both elders and community leaders. The trustees believe this approach ensures that new trustees are respected members of the faith and local communities and ensures that good relations are fostered between the Masjid and the people of the local community that we serve. 

In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions organised by the charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work. Potential trustees are invited to attend trustees’ meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity’s aims and activities and, if all agree, they are then proposed as new trustees at the subsequent trustees’ meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills. 

## **Induction and training of trustees** 

Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of Anjuman’s constitution and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. Signposting to a number of publications from the Charity Commission is also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion 

**6 |** P a g e 



for the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially, new trustees work with an existing trustee assisting on particular activities and projects run by the charity. After satisfactory feedback from existing trustees, they are then given the task of leading a particular activity or project, reporting progress at trustees’ meetings. 

## **Affiliations** 

Anjuman is affiliated with the charity Indian Muslim Welfare Society (IMWS), charity registration number **1067746** , the umbrella organisation for the Masajid in the Batley area. Anjuman also works closely with the other Masajid in the Batley area to ensure we have a shared and consistent approach (where appropriate) to our activities, policies and procedures. This affiliation provides support and guidance to Anjuman, IMWS and the supporting Masajid in the area by having a collective voice and a wider expertise and skill set in order to carry out the functions of Anjuman. 

This affiliation does not stipulate requirement to endorse or agree to any decision either made by IMWS or the associated Masajid in the Batley region but where the trustees of Anjuman see fit to make the endorsement/agreement for the betterment of Anjuman and the work it does, it will do so. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Our aims** 

The objects of Anjuman are set out in the charity’s constitution and are summarised as follows: 

The advancement of the true Islamic faith by all means consistent with the teachings of the Quran and Ahaadith as interpreted by the Sunni Deobandi Hanafi school of thought, and in particular by the provision and maintenance of Masjid (place of worship) and Madrassah (place of learning). 

To carry out religious, educational, charitable, social cohesion and welfare work as determined by Anjuman within the principles of the Islamic Faith as described above. 

## **Our objectives** 

Our objectives are set to reflect our faith and community aims. The trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. 

Our dual aims of advancing the true Islamic faith and providing religious, educational, charitable, social cohesion and welfare work is achieved by the provision and maintenance of Masjid (place of worship) and Madrassah (place of learning). These two foundations of Anjuman provide the platform to support our aims of providing charitable, social cohesion and welfare work which will be described in more detail later within this report. 

**7 |** P a g e 



## **Strategies** 

We continue to ensure that provisions are in place for all worshippers of Islamic faith whether members of Anjuman or not to be able to fulfil their religious duty within our Masjid. This includes having provision for five time prayers every day, ensuring we have an effective Madrassah system in place that not only teaches our children the principles of our religion but supports them in becoming upstanding confident citizens of our community. We also ensure there are provisions for Islamic marriage and funeral for members and non-members of Anjuman. 

Our long term aim to support further community cohesion and inter faith work either within the Masjid itself or in partnership with one of the other Masajid in the Batley area. There is already excellent work taking place within the Batley area and it is our aim to enhance this work rather than duplicate efforts. 

An important part of our faith is charitable giving, according to one’s wealth and in accordance with Islam. We continue to work in partnership with our affiliated partners namely IMWS to enable members of our community and those visiting the Masjid to provide financial and non-financial aid and support to not only those in need within our area but also nationally and internationally. The key achievements and charities supported this year will be detailed later in this report. 

## **Income Generation** 

As mentioned in last year’s report we were successful in the acquisition of a residential property under Anjuman’s name to add an additional source of income. This bought in £4,859.37 income into our accounts. 

As we are now charity registered we can claim Gift Aid on the donations we receive. This year we submitted our first claim to HMRC, and we received £11,675.56 through Gift Aid. 

Prior to the lockdown in January 2020, we called a Special General Meeting (SGM) in accordance with our constitution on 18[th] December 2020. The purpose of the meeting was to gain approval from our members to buying another residential property from which we could generate rental income. After the proposal was presented to members and the quorum was fulfilled, all members unanimously agreed to the proposal. 

The trustees will now work towards acquiring an appropriate property to purchase. 

These initiatives to ensure that we can meet the ever increasing needs of our Masjid and Madressah in the current climate are pivotal and very welcome sources of additional income. 

## **Use of volunteers** 

Volunteers are the backbone of Anjuman. It is only with the help of all our local volunteers and the grace of The Almighty that we find ourselves in a position of being able to contribute and make a difference to our community. Volunteers are involved in both the effective running of the Masjid provision as well as the effective running of our Madrassah system. 

**8 |** P a g e 



All our trustees also give of their time freely. We encourage all members of our community to be involved in voluntary activities and to share their skills with others. All those volunteers working with projects involving children or other vulnerable groups are DBS checked. 

The trustees express a special gratitude to all our members who continuously work in supporting the Masjid and Madrassah in whatever way they can. Over the past years we have seen on more than one occasion, special coming together of our community when the need arises to ensure the needs of the Masjid and Madrassah are always fulfilled. 

## **Activities and Achievements** 

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at our Masjid, learn within our Masjid/Madrassah system and the wider community. 

## **Religious Activities** 

Our Masjid provides a centre for our prayers and worship and for the activities associated with our faith. During the year under review, we offered a range of religious services and activities including: 

_**Prayers:**_ The Masjid (when it was allowed to do so) was open for the five daily prayers. Unfortunately, this year due to Covid safety advice and regulations a number of facilities were not available for general use i.e., ablution and toilet facilities. 

_**Ramadhan:**_ Unfortunately, this year due to Covid restrictions our Masjid was not open during our blessed month of Ramadhan. We pray to the Almighty that our Masajid continue to stay open during all future Ramadhan’s. 

_**Funeral facilities:**_ The Masjid was able to support funerals within the parameters of Covid restrictions. 

_**Islamic Marriage - Nikkah:**_ The Masjid was able to support Nikah ceremonies within the parameters of Covid restrictions. 

_**Adult classes:**_ We have three specific adult courses run from our Masjid. Al-Fajr Academy is a well-established course run during the day on a full time basis and has been running for a number of years. This year we also witnessed our intake of student’s graduate from their studies having achieved the Sanatyan Comprehensive Diploma Programme. We saw a fresh intake of students joining us as part of the course which is run part time on Tuesday and Friday evenings. The course is taught primarily in the English Language with some Arabic to aid comprehension and application. We are very fortunate to have students from a wide range of backgrounds, such as Huffaz, medical consultants, ophthalmologists, pharmacist’s, IT consultants, teachers, businessmen, university students and many more. 

**9 |** P a g e 



We continue to run the Islamic classes run specifically for sisters. This new initiative started in March 2019 and runs every Sunday morning 9.30am – 11.30am. Run in both English and Urdu this is a good opportunity for all our sisters from our community and outside to come and benefit from qualified teachers and improve on their knowledge and application of Islam. 

In January 2020 we started a two-year Sanatayn Course for sisters which has proved extremely popular and benefitting for sisters from our community and further afield. Some of the feedback we have received on the course is included below: 

_“… wanted to pass on some feedback about the classes. Alhumdulilah the Sanatayn classes are truly amazing. If there is one thing that I look forward to in the week it is attending these classes and being able to dedicate time to simply learn and understand our deen.”_ 

_“The Sanatayn course is much needed, it fulfils a genuine void; there is a real need out there of a course like this especially_ 


_for people who are professionals and/or parents and who just want to reconnect with their deen.”_ 

_“JazakAllah khair to the aapas for their efforts in teaching us. For nearly all of us this course enables us to ‘take time out and do something for ourselves' and the time we spend there really is just priceless. May Allah SWT grant you jazaikhair Mawlana for setting this up and the aapas for teaching this.”_ 

With the restrictions in place much of this learning has been remote via online learning methods. 

We encourage all our members who may want to participate to enrol and benefit from these classes. 

_**Islamic Awareness:**_ Unfortunately, due to government restrictions we were unable to run our usual array of Islamic seminars and programmes. Instead, we increased our use of transmitting online seminars and programmes via our existing receiver system. 

This year we invested in installing an online digital receiver system so that those who do not own a traditional receiver can listen live to programmes being transmitted from our Masjid. The new facility also holds all previous recordings so that those had missed the live programme can go back and listen to the seminars. This is freely accessible via the eMasjid 

**10 |** P a g e 



website (www.emasjidlive.co.uk) or you can download the app from the apple or google Appstore. This new facility runs seamlessly alongside our existing receiver systems and allows us to reach farther than before. 

Prior to the lockdown in conjunction with Moulana Muhammad Noman Daji Saab we managed to organise a training course for parents looking at training, guiding and equipping parents in the “tarbiyah” nurture and growth of their children. 

The course was unique for Batley and consisted of six interactive training workshops ran over a period of six weeks which aimed to look at: 

- Developing focus and improving memory 

- Building confidence 

- Instilling patience 

- Instilling gratitude 

- Building trust 

- Supporting others 

These vital life skills not only for children but adults also would support parents in nurturing their children to become role models for society. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and lockdown we were not able to complete all six workshops. Inshallah this is something we will revisit in the future. 

## **Madrassah** 

Unfortunately, the impact of the pandemic on our children has been heavily demonstrated already, both in terms of their traditional schooling and Madressah. 

Like our schools we faced the same challenges of how we continue to support our children in their Islamic studies during a lockdown. We quickly set up online provision for all children to be able to log on and ensure they have contact with their teachers. After some initial teething problems in the beginning Alhamdulillah, we now have an effective set up where our children are getting the support and guidance from their teachers. Alhamdulillah this provision has ensured that the children continue to receive Islamic education. We request all parents to continue to support the Madressah and their children in remote learning by ensuring that the children are prepared and ready for their classes. 

This year we also saw our Headteacher Moulana Shoayb Patel Saab depart to new pastures. Moulana Saab started with us over 10 years ago as Headteacher. During that time Moulana Saab has worked tremendously hard with the committee(s), students, parents and wider community in improving our level of teaching and improving the standard of our syllabus. 

Moulana joined us when our Madressah was in need of new energy and ideas to ensure our children leave Madressah with not only the Islamic knowledge needed but as rounded 

**11 |** P a g e 



individuals who would press forward in their lives as positive role models for our community and true ambassadors of Islam. 

Today, we see the fruits of Moulana’s efforts every day when those children who were our students once, continue to frequent the Masjid and live their lives according to the teachings of Islam. 

Alhamdulillah Moulana with his worry and determination, couple with his extensive experience working for a neighbouring Local Authority in the social work field left having vastly improved many aspects of our Madressah and students’ attitude to life. 

Moulana, with the guidance of our Hazrat Mufti Musa Saab (DB) established the Sanatayn courses for both men and women running from our Masjid. This was truly pioneering across the country and now is held as a beacon for all other Masajid. 

We wish to take this opportunity to formally thank Moualana Saab for all he done for our Madressah. We pray the Almighty blesses you in your life and rewards you abundantly for all your efforts. Aameen. 

With the departure of Moulana Shoayb Saab the trustees started the process of recruiting his replacement. Alhamdullilah we were pleased to be able to appoint Moulana Bilal Mananiyat Saab. Moulana Bilal Saab who is a graduate of Darul Uloom Bury joined us after having previously taught at Mount Pleasant Madressah leading on the Hifz classes there. 

Alhamdulillah Moualana has joined us with much enthusiasm and fresh ideas, but unfortunately some of these have been hampered with the pandemic. Inshallah once classes resume back to normal and Moulana Saab has had the opportunity to implement some of these ideas we will provide a more detailed update in future report. 

## **Buildings maintenance and improvements** 

Alhamdulillah as previously stated Allah SWT has blessed us with accessible facilities in order for us to fulfil our religious obligations and continually work to improve our imaan. 

Managing a number of buildings in our society there is always an on-going need to ensure that the facilities are safe and well maintained. The trustees continues to ensure that any deficiencies in the building’s and facilities are rectified as soon as possible always ensuring we are mindful of the money spent. 

## **Community activities** 

Alongside providing provision for prayers, religious activities and religious education; in January 2020, our Masjid held an event specifically to engage with our youth, although all were welcome. 

Organised in conjunction with Hazrat Mufti Musa Saab (DB) our Imam, Mufti Hassan Saab and our Masjid Wali Jamaat; an event which included a short talk to engage with our youngsters, light refreshments along with tea and we set up games in the girls Madressah. This was an opportunity for our youngsters and elders to come together and create a bond 

**12 |** P a g e 



and unity which we see disappearing from all communities. Scholars and members of our welfare team were also present for participants to engage with. 

Alhamdulillah the event was a great success due to public demand, there were plans to make this a regular bi-monthly event for both the boys and girls of our community but unfortunately due to Covid restrictions we were not able to do so. 





## **Welfare Work – Introducing the Taylor Street Outreach Team** 

Our Masjid has always provided outreach, support and welfare work within the community in the form of house visits to those who are elderly, vulnerable, young and sick or those that we may not have seen in the community for a while. 


Early in the pandemic our volunteers led by members of our “Masjid Wali Jamaat” got together to ensure that the most vulnerable of our community are not forgotten. 

Taylor Street Outreach Team (TSOT) was established, in response to the pandemic to provide outreach and welfare support for families living in the Taylor Street and surrounding areas. 

All work has been carried out by volunteers from our community. 

**13 |** P a g e 



At the outset, using local knowledge that the volunteers had, lists were made of those that were the most vulnerable and provisions were made to ensure that they were not adversely affected by the lockdown. 

Daily Zoom calls were arranged where volunteers would discuss any new cases of people needing support who had been identified. Leaflets in both English, Guajarati and Urdu were distributed to all the houses in our area with who to contact if any kind of support was needed. Support via social media channels was also offered. 


Initially the support that was offered to everyone was for picking up shopping, collecting medicine, emergency supplies or anything that people could not leave the house for. As time went by and the true reality of the devastation that the pandemic was leaving behind, the volunteers realised that something needed to be done tackle isolation, loneliness and mental health issues. 

Many of our members who would visit the Masjid frequently before the pandemic and would engage with others no longer could do this. Our volunteers quickly identified this and made sure all those were contacted even for a chat and to ask how they were. This was greatly appreciated by many and thanked our young group of volunteers. 

TSOT volunteers also organised a kid’s competition, with exercises suitable for 3 age groups. Our youth are important because they will be our future. Getting our youth involved in these initiatives is essential. TSOT distributed gifts and treats, along with an invitation to submit enter a competition on the subject of Hajj. Prizes were given to the winners, as well as certificates to all who participated. The children in the locality really enjoyed this and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. 


On a number of occasions, TSOT volunteers also made arrangements for everyone in our community to receive care packages. These consisted of fresh fruit, biscuits, dates amongst other things. Eid gifts were also distributed  to every household in our Masjid’s vicinity, all carried out by TSOT volunteers at their own expense. 

Those that were vulnerable or shielding also received more comprehensive packages including toiletries to ensure that they had the basic provisions they needed. 

**14 |** P a g e 



It is important to note that, the volunteers themselves donated their own money in order to buy the provisions needed to support our community. Work is carried out by TSOT volunteers on a free of charge basis and all activities are organised through volunteers giving their own time and funds to cover the costs. Any donations & gifts specifically received are also used to carry out the welfare and outreach work. No masjid Lillah or Sadaqah are used for these activities. 

TSOT also donated gifts to our local hospital to show our appreciation and gratitude for all their care and dedication in the midst of the pandemic. This was greatly appreciated by the staff at our local hospital and was a great example by our volunteers of practically showing the beauty of Islam to all. 

We also received very positive feedback from members of our own community ranging from the young and old, males and females and Muslims and non-Muslims. This support and care improved community cohesion across our neighbourhood and provided invaluable support to those that needed it. 

Some examples of the feedback we received are included below: 


Our volunteers didn’t stop there, they went on and continued to support improvements in our locality. Some of the key achievements so far include: 

- Cleaning the banking at the back of the mosque. 

- Cleaning the front entrance of the mosque. 

- Hosting a multi-agency meeting, with the aim of presenting issues faced by the 

- community and how agencies could work together to tackle these. 

- Building relationships and lobbying with local MP’s, councillors and the Kirklees 

- Council for improvements in our area including resurfacing parts of Talbot Street. 

- Organising improvements to unsafe pavements, including outside the Madressah, 

- helping to keep our community safe. 

- Improving the existing road markings in our locality. 

- Working with the authorities to tackle anti-social behaviour hotspots. 

It is truly amazing what TSOT have managed to achieve in less than a year and in the middle of a pandemic. We pray to Almighty Allah that He blesses and rewards our volunteers for 

**15 |** P a g e 



all their hard work and dedication in all that they have done and continue to do so. Aameen.

## **Statement of Trustees responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any 

- material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate 

- to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees for the purposes of charity law who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 3.

## **Accountant’s Report** 

I report on the accounts of the organisation for the period to 31 December 2020 set out on pages 19-20 which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies on pages 21-22. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The trustees of the organisation are responsible for the preparation of accounts; they consider that the audit requirement under section 144 of the 2011 Act, does not apply. It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of 2011 Act. 

- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under Section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

- 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 Commissioners. An examination includes review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accountants. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 130 of 2011 Act, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records, or comply with the accounting requirement of the 2011 Act. No matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
