Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 To provide Islamic education for the
benefit of the public through the
provision of classes, lectures and
teachings on the Islamic faith to
enlighten Muslims and others about the
Islamic religion.
To promote social inclusion for the
public benefit by preventing people from
becoming socially excluded, relieving
the needs of those people who are
socially excluded and assisting them to
integrate into society.
Note: ‘Socially excluded’ means being
excluded from society, or part of society, as
a result of one or more factors including:
financial hardship, old age, ill health
(physical or mental), family breakdown or
being a member of a socially and
economically deprived community.
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		 In light of the purposes of the Charity as
set out in its governing document, its
main activities are the provision of
interactive classroom/online sessions
focused on Islamic knowledge,
teachings & the various schools of
thought. These include Quran lessons,
translation, hadith & further studies,
self-improvement exercises, use of
audio & visuals, various classroom
activities & games, group sessions,
educational trips, quizzes and Q&A
sessions.
Those who wish to attend the
workshops/classes but require financial
support, are assisted by the Charity by
providing discounted subscriptions and
deferred payment schemes.
The Charity also sells books and
educational material (e.g., course
folders & notes) to students and the
public.
The Charity holds occasional
fundraising events to generate and
increase public awareness of the
Charity and its aims, and to be able to
raise funds in order to carry out its
objectives.
The Charity also provides physical and
emotional support to the less
fortunate/socially excluded, including
elderly people and the terminally ill,
aiming to improve their quality of life.
This includes but is not limited to,
assistance in day-to-day social and
domestic activities.
During the national lockdown due to the
Covid-19 pandemic commencing March
2020, the Charity increased its efforts
and provided, where possible, small
scale shopping assistance and food
services to those identified as self-
isolating and those affected by COVID-
19.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The Trustees confirm that they are
aware of, and have conducted the affairs
of the Charity with regard to the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public
benefit.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
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 The Charity has grown in size via its
classroom/workshop-based activities. It
currently enrols approximately 50
students to its weekly courses which
covers not only the translation of the
Quran and understanding of its meaning
via interactive learning sessions, but by
also encouraging the implementation of
the positive message of the Quran in
daily life.
The educational classes held by the
Charity have made a small yet
significant difference to the
beneficiaries of the classes by
delivering information and improving
knowledge on the religion of Islam as
well as bettering one’s character, the
importance of social work and helping
others in need.
The classes also bring together people
who otherwise find themselves alone in
times of need. For example, during
times of hardship and sickness, our
students have found support and
comfort with fellow students, as well as

domestic help and assistance with daily needs. The Charity moved to a bigger classroom venue in March 2020. The new premises were hired to accommodate the growing student base and their needs, and to provide a better learning experience and higher quality of teaching. The bigger classroom overall provided better educational standards to all students and assistants involved. However, due to Covid-19 and the subsequent national lockdown announced just a few weeks later, all classes and activities were subsequently conducted online (via Zoom) to enable the Charity to continue fulfilling its objectives. The fundraising activities and event held by the Charity, before the national lockdown was announced, were successful in the aim of creating awareness for the Charity and raising funds for its purpose. The growing student base reflects this.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The main sources of income/donations
for the Charity are via voluntary
donations and student/classroom
subscriptions.
In the period to 31st August 2020, the
Charity is grateful to have received a
total of £19k in gross income/donations.
Total costs incurred were £15k, giving a
net position at the end of the period of
£4k.
The main source of donations/income
came from the following:
•
Classroom Activities/Student
Subscriptions £8k
•
Voluntary receipts/donations £7k
•
Receipts from Charitable
Activities £4k
•
TOTAL £19k
Costs were incurred for the following:
•
Classroom hire/rent £11k
•
General costs £1k
•
Teacher fees £1k
•
Printing, postage, supplies £1k
•
Other £1k
•
TOTAL £15k
The higher costs this financial year were
mainly attributed to the cost of renting a
classroom to be able to provide a better
educational experience to the growing
student base. The contract for a new and
bigger classroom was agreed and
signed in early March 2020.
Although these new premises benefitted
the Charity’s objectives and student
experience, unfortunately, the Charity
was unable to make full use of the
classroom and its facilities due to the
announcement of the national lockdown
just weeks after agreeing the contract
and its terms. This meant that the
Charity incurred a significant financial
cost from the unoccupied rental space.
The Trustees have been negotiating with
the landlord. However, this cost is
expected to remain in place until the end
of the contract in Feb 2021. The Trustees
have however, managed to obtain a
decreased rental fee for the remainder of
the classroom lease, decreasing the
rental obligations from £1250pcm to
£900pcm. These revised payments
commenced in Aug-20, and will continue
until the contract end.
This higher cost base, along with the
inability raise funds via live/in-person
events and goods sales, inevitably had a
net impact on the financial position at
the year-end.
The Trustees are seeking to review the
cost base of the Charity with the aim of
reducing it further.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The Charity currently does not have a
written policy in place for holding
reserves but seeks to implement one in
the near future once longer-term
liabilities are in place.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 N/A
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 The Charity currently does not have a
reserve policy in place as expenditure
and liabilities are minimal. The Charity
seeks to implement a reserve policy
once longer-term liabilities are
established.
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 N/A
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a

uncertainties regarding its ability to
continue as a going concern.

Policies and procedures
adopted for the induction
and training of trustees		 Para 1.51 A Safeguarding Policy and associated
Officer have been in place since Feb
2019. Safeguarding Policies are
reviewed every 3 months or as required
by the Charity’s Safeguarding Officer.
A Protection Policy has been in place
since June 2019.
In March 2020, when Covid-19 was
declared a pandemic by The World
Health Organization, the Charity’s
Trustees and volunteers took immediate
action to protect all those using its
facilities including its Trustees,
volunteers, and students.
On 8th March, the Charity had in place
clear instructions (in the form of a
poster), on careful conduct, personal
hygiene, due diligence and how to
protect oneself & others. The poster
was placed in clear view for all upon
entering the classroom. The poster
included the “Catch it, Bin it, Kill it”
advise as well as instructing all
attendees to wash their hands for 20
seconds and/or to use hand sanitiser.
With the rise of Covid infections, the
Trustees decided to close the
classroom on 16th March, due to
concerns for the safety and wellbeing of
its volunteers and students, acting
slightly ahead of Government advise.
The primary justification for this action
was to ensure the safety for all
volunteers and students, the vast
majority of which are over the age of 60
and use public transport.

The teaching site remained closed for 4 months until the easing of lockdown restrictions in the England. During this time, all classes continued as usual but via various internet platforms & E- learning and no disruption was caused to students’ education. Prior to reopening onsite classes, a deep clean of the classroom was carried out, arrangements made to allow for at least 1 metre spacing between desks, restricting the number of people allowed to enter the classroom, and new guidelines for all visitors (including Trustees, volunteers and students). The guidelines included that issued by the Government on Covid-19 symptoms and management, and temperature checks of individuals entering the classroom, the provision of and requiring visitors to use hand sanitiser provided at the reception desk before entering the classroom, and for all visitors wear face masks. The Charity ensured that all desks and chairs of the classroom were cleaned using antibacterial cleaner daily by the first arriving volunteer. A full inspection of the premises was conducted by the Charity’s Safeguarding Officer on 21[st] July 2020 prior to reopening the classroom to students/visitors. The classroom by reopened by the Trustees, albeit with a limited number of seating available. Students who were able to easily and safely attend classes in person were permitted to do so, while others were encouraged to continue distant/online learning/attendance.
