Objectives and Activities

Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document:

The objects of the Al-Emaan Centre ('Charity'), as set out in its Constitution, are to advance the Islamic religion for the benefit of public in particular but without limitation through the holding of prayer meetings, establishment of religious places, producing and/or distributing literature on Islamic religion to enlighten others about Islamic religion.

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:

To provide prayer space for the Muslim population, education classes, charitable outreach projects, interfaith work and youth initiatives. The Charity’s facilities are normally open to the public every day of the year for all the daily prayers, in the well-maintained spaces of the Al-Emaan Centre, accessible to all. The ethos of the mosque is to serve and engage with the wider community, and this continues to be reflected in the Charity’s activities and initiatives throughout the year. A wide range of services is offered for both Muslims and non-Muslims, often in partnership with other organisations. The Charity places strong emphasis on building positive relationships with others in order to work together for the common good. A particular highlight this year was the delivery of regular interfaith activities on topics relevant to our respective congregations. During Interfaith Week, representatives visited one another’s places of worship to experience and learn about the practices and sermons of the three Abrahamic faiths within the local area. The Charity was pleased to welcome the Mayor of Bromley and members of the wider community to its annual Iftar at the mosque, which continues to be an important opportunity to foster understanding, dialogue and community cohesion. During the year, the Charity continued its collaboration with the National Zakat Foundation to operate a Zakat hub through the mosque. This enabled the collection and distribution of Zakat funds, providing vital financial support to individuals in need within the local community. The Charity also delivered a range of recreational and wellbeing activities, including women’s netball sessions, children’s taekwondo classes, and men’s fitness classes, promoting physical health, social inclusion and community participation. In addition, the Charity facilitates wider community engagement by regularly welcoming visiting adults and school groups, offering opportunities to learn about themosque,Islam, and the Charity’srolewithinthe community.

Al-Emaan Centre Charity No. 1181554 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Charity annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to the charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts & reports) regulations 2008 and 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 and other irregularities.

The trustees for the purposes of charity law who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.

Al-Emaan Centre Report of the Independent Examiner For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

1. The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

2. Having satisfied myself that an audit is not required, it is my responsibility to:

3. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

4. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

5. to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

3. to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, have not been met; or

4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
