Langley Islamic Centre: Annual Report 2024/25
From Vision to Reality
Milestone Achievement: Property Acquisition & Launch
The defining moment in our history occurred in December 2024 , when the Langley Islamic Centre successfully completed the acquisition of a permanent commercial property .
-
The Transition: This milestone marks our evolution from a temporary prayer group to a permanent pillar of the Langley landscape.
-
The Launch: Following a successful acquisition, we have officially opened our doors, welcoming the community into a home of their own. This move provides the permanent physical infrastructure essential to fulfilling our threefold constitutional mandate: daily prayer, health awareness, and a community educational hub.
Financial Stewardship & Capital Investment
The fiscal years leading up to 2024/25 were characterized by unprecedented growth and community trust. The scale of our fundraising has directly enabled our transition from tenants to owners.
| 2024/25 Figures |
||
| Financial Metric | Status | |
| Total Income | £333,996 | Record-breaking community support. |
| Operational Outgoings |
£21,533 | Strict management of overheads. |
| Capital Surplus | £312,463 | Fully utilized for the acquisition and launch. |
Trustee Note: Despite the significant increase in income, we maintained discipline in our spending. This allowed us to preserve over 93% of our total income for the purchase and establishment of our new home.
Impact of the Permanent Premises
With our own building now fully operational, we are scaling our core objectives:
-
Spiritual Growth: We have moved beyond the weekly average of 150 attendees to a robust, daily service model, providing a spiritual home 365 days a year.
-
Educational Expansion: Our property now hosts dedicated weekly sessions for youth, men, and women. These simultaneous programs have allowed us to double our educational capacity.
-
Community Welfare: Our fixed location has become a reliable sanctuary for the community, providing a permanent base for community services and health awareness.
A Message from the Chair
"The years between 2020 and 2024 were the years we saved; in December 2024, we delivered. Having now celebrated our Opening, we have officially secured the future for the next generation of Muslims in Langley. This building stands as a testament to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers and trustees."
— Mr. Adil Nawaz, Chairperson
Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond
With the property acquired and the doors open, our focus for the upcoming year shifts to:
-
Program Excellence: Expanding our community welfare services to utilise the full potential of our new space.
-
Sustainability: Establishing the building as a self-sustaining hub through efficient management and community participation.
-
Community Cohesion: Enhancing our outreach to the wider Langley community, ensuring the Centre remains a welcoming space for all.
