Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document

Al Madaar is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission on August 28, 2018 under the charity number 1179678. It is controlled by its own constitution.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Pursuant to the constitution registered with the charity comission the board of trustees is a self-appointing body. New trustees are appointed in the event of a resignation, death or where the numbers fall below the minimum stipulated in its constitution. In the event of an appointment the existing trustees are invited to nominate suitable candidates from among the community who are familiar with the work of the trust and whom the existing trustees feel can contribute to the trust and agree who should be approached. If the candidate agrees then the trustees invite him /her for an interview and then formally vote on the candidate.

Induction and Training Of New Trustees

As new trustees are chosen from among the local community they are familiar with the work of the charity hence there has to date not been a need to organise any formal training sessions . However, all new trustees are given an orientation session where they are briefed on their obligations to the trust under the law. A number of publications from the Charity Comission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and on the advancement of religion for public benefit.

Organisational Structure

The board of trustees which meets regularly takes the overall accountability for ensuring that current legislations and rules of the constitution are complied with. The trustees are assisted by the service committee (whose members are made up of volunteers) in carrying out the day to day activities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objects of the charity as set out in its constitution registered with the charity commission are summarised as follows:

(a) To advance education and religion in accordance with the tenets and doctrines of Islamic faith contained in the Quran and Sunnah in particular by providing or assisting in the provision of courses, lectures, seminars and other classes;

(b) Provides religious and secular education to the public by providing regular classes, workshops, events and lectures. We provide a comfortable environment for people to learn about both Islam and beneficial knowledge that will help them in this life and the next.

(c) To advance such other charitable purpose or purposes as the managing committee or the society shall from time to time decide.

Our objectives are set out to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year our 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.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The charity is committed to serving the spiritual and academic needs of local and wider communities across our diverse & multicultural society. The trustees consider that these activities summarised below, provide benefit to those who regularly use our services and the wider community.

Throughout the year Al Madaar organised and hosted daily and weekly classes for both adults and the youth, producing educational video material, organised radio programes discussing important issues related to our society, produced meaningful and inspirational visual material and provided faciliies for the local community to use for their own needs.

During the year, Amazon wanted to use our facility for the purpose of the training their drivers. This came at a perfect time as this was also the same when we have the major cover lockdowns. They used our facilities for a total of 7 months, some times using two of our largest rooms to deliver their training. They needed 1m spacing between each participant and therefore required a lot of space. Through this, and the grants given to us by the government for the lockdowns, we were able to settle many of our expenses. During this period, over 100 people were trained on site. During this period, we also received charitable donations from the Amazon smile program, which is a program whereby anyone who buys things from Amazon can donate a portion of their fees to us.

Additionally, during the period, we managed to print course material for our madrasah, both in teaching the children Tajweed, and how to read the Arabic language, but also to teach children Islamic legal maxims so that it can help them n avigate their lives. We printed level 1-4 of tajweed, which comprised of one book each, a boo k 1-3 of the islamic studies curriculum. We also printed

5

a few books targeting adults which had book 1 - 4 of the tajweed series but in one volume and with only tajweed lessons in them. We have them on offer for sale as well as give them to our students when they join classes.

Volunteers

The charity is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in the service provision. None of the education we deliver or support we provide would be possible without our local and foreign donors.

We hope that this support continues which helps us to reach out to more beneficiaries. All our trustees also give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The funds of the charity are unrestricted and amounted to £ 98,417 as at January 1, 2021.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Moving forward the chairty intends to expand its scope of providing a unique educational experience to the community from providing youth club activities, more educational videos and audio content, publishing materials and providing support to the local community for affairs and efforts relevant to them.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 1993, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

2) observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

3) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

4) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Al Madaar Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 1 January 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).

Turnover

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold buildings over 50 years Leasehold land and buildings over the lease term Plant and machinery over 5 years Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment over 5 years

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

Al Madaar Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 1 January 2021

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Taxation

A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Provisions

Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.

Leased assets

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The rights of use and obligations under finance leases are initially recognised as assets and liabilities at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction in the outstanding liability using the effective interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
