## PARK ROAD COMMUNITY TRUST
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (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 financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- (a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- (b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- (c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- (d) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- (e) 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 2011, 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

PARK ROAD COMMUNITY TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE PERIOD 31ST JANUARY 2025
The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st January 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's accounting policies and the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
## 1. Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is managed by Mr A. H. S. Variava with the help of secretary Mr A. Butt as well as 7 other trustees. These have overseen the continued building works of Masjid Taqwa Park Road and regularly held meetings to keep all trustees updated on progress. In order to determine the future events of the charity, all trustees have to give their approval before work commences.
## 2. Objectives
The charity has acquired and has further developed the property, namely, Masjid Taqwq, 13 Park Road and 7 Blackburn Place to provide worshipping and teaching facilities which can be used by members of the community. This includes prayer sessions as well as educational sessions for younger children. When planning the activities for the period, the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## 3. Achievements
The performance of the charity is monitored by the trustees through regular meetings and the means of feedback from users of the Mosque. During the period, Masjid Taqwa Park Road has become fully functional for users of the community.
## 4. Financial Review
The trustees have accumulated over £59,833 cash at bank and in hand to enable completion of the mosque development as of the year end. Donations continue to be taken to help in future development work. Going forward, the charity is in a good financial position to continue improvement works to continue the the maintenance and improvement work of both properties. The charity has repaid a small amount of the trustees loans and now has £85,000 outstanding. These will be repaid when funds are available.
## 5. Reserves Policy
Reserves will be re-invested back into the Masjid and Blackburn Place, maintaining and improving the experience for all local community users.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PARK ROAD COMMUNITY TRUST
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st January 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
## Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
(a) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity required by Section 130 of the Act; or
- (b) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- (c) the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
- 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair view' which is
not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
