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.

Structure, Governance and Management

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.

We provided our facilities to help people from our local community get into employment by working alongside a recruitment agency, by providing facilities for training , developing their interview skills producing CV's, and other activities. We provided activities and our facilities for the youth and community, such as producing open events, conferences and presentations. From those activities was an all day conference for the youth who are finihsing college and want to navigate and develop their career in the IT industry. We got speakers from different parts of the IT industry, including Accountants from KPMG and women who have managed to get into IT, and they gave the youth their experiences and advice for their future . We also delivered a conference on how to call Non-Muslims to Islam, how to address their many concerns and what would be the best approach in dialogue.

During the year of 2021, we delivered daily lessons teaching children how to read Qur'aan with correct tajweed, teaching them the Islamic creed and history and helped develop them upon Islamic ideals. We used various aids such as projections, presentations, activities and had the

children on many occasions produce works of art to demonstrate what they've learnt

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 £ 14,756 as at January 1, 2023.

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.
