|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|1) The advancement of the Islamic faith
through education;
2) 2) The relief of financial hardship among
people by providing such persons with
goods or services particularly but not

they could not otherwise afford through
lack of means;

5) To further any other charitable purpose
for the public benefit as are exclusively

England and Wales as the trustees may

|Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Charity is entirely volunteer led. During
2024, a significant proportion of volunteer time
was dedicated to an internal programme of
governance, policy and operational
improvements designed to strengthen the
Charity’s effectiveness and sustainability. As a
result, the level of direct charitable activity
undertaken during the year was more limited
than in previous periods.
Notwithstanding this, the Charity delivered an
educational programme in Portugal, providing:
a) funding for the development of learning
materials and the delivery of educational
sessions aimed at supporting recently arrived
economic migrants in their integration into local
communities.
b) to a small number of beneficiaries who
remained affected by the consequences of the
2023 Türkiye earthquake, including individuals
experiencing ongoing hardship arising from
homelessness and unemployment.|
|||The trustees are satisfied that these activities
furthered the Charity’s charitable purposes and
delivered public benefit through the provision of
education, support and assistance to vulnerable
individuals.|

|achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|to the 2023 Türkiye earthquake, which resulted in
recognition and commendation at the Turkish
Red Crescent Awards Ceremony, 2024 was
dedicated primarily to reviewing and
strengthening the Charity’s internal operations.
An internal evaluation was undertaken to identify
lessons learned and implement improvements to
governance, administration and back-office
processes, with the aim of increasing the
Charity’s long-term efficiency, effectiveness and
capacity to deliver charitable activities. This
eventually led to a change in governance, with a
new trustee onboarded.
As a result of this strategic focus, the Charity’s
programme delivery was more limited during this
period. Nevertheless, the Charity continued to
provide direct support to beneficiaries. This
included the delivery of a small educational
programme in Portugal, which assisted recently
arrived economic migrants in developing their
understanding of local systems and integrating
into wider society.
In addition, the Charity provided ongoing support
to a number of beneficiaries who continued to
experience homelessness and unemployment as
a consequence of the Türkiye earthquake.
Through this support, the Charity helped
individuals address immediate challenges and
work towards greater stability and independence.
The Charity’s activities during the year|
contributed to the welfare and social inclusion of vulnerable individuals while also strengthening the organisation’s foundations, enabling it to deliver greater impact in future years.

## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 At the end of the reporting period, the Charity’s
financial position at the end financial position reflects its ongoing reliance on
of the period restricted project funding and its continued
commitment to applying funds in line with donor
intentions.
The Trustees will continue to monitor the
financial position closely and will review financial
strategy should the level or nature of funding
change in future periods.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 The Charity's income is predominantly received
reserves as restricted funding for specific projects and
activities. These funds are applied in accordance
with donor intentions and are generally expended
within the relevant project period. As a result, the
Charity has limited opportunity to accumulate
unrestricted funds from which reserves could be
established.
The Trustees have therefore determined that it is
appropriate for the Charity to hold no reserves at
this time. Should the Charity begin to receive a
material level of unrestricted income, the
Trustees will review the reserves policy and
consider the establishment of an appropriate
reserves fund to support the Charity's long-term
sustainability and financial resilience.
Details of fund materially in Para 1.24 None to note.
