Notes to the Accounts Y/E 31-08-21

Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/09/20 Period start date To 31/08/21 Period end date

Charity name: Nurulquran

Charity registration number: 1181591

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 non-Muslims
about the religion. Furthermore, 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		 The provision of interactive classroom
sessions focused on Islamic knowledge,
teachings & the various schools of
thought, as well as:
•
Quran lessons, translation &
understanding,
•
Self-improvement activities,
•
Use of audio, visual & video
formats,
•
Various classroom activities &
games,
•
Group sessions, educational
trips, quizzes and Q&A sessions.
•
The Charity also sells books and
educational material e.g., course
folders, notes etc.

The provision of fundraising events to generate public awareness and to provide assistance to the less fortunate/socially excluded. 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, hospital visits etc. Due to the Covid19 Pandemic: • Classes in this financial year were conducted onsite until November 2020. Thereafter classes were moved online due to health and safety reasons. Unfortunately, the classroom hire agreement was contracted until February 2021 and despite numerous attempts, we were unable to obtain an early termination or significant reduction in rental fees from the Landlord. Financial contractual obligations for renting the classroom, therefore, had to be paid until February 2021 even though the room was not used/occupied from November 2020 onwards. From February 2021, a physical classroom was not hired and educational activities were conducted solely online via Zoom. This had a positive impact and allowed the Charity to offer a further number of online courses and increase its online presence. Classes have remained online since December 2020. • With many people being affected financially, Nurulquran, in collaboration with the registered Charity, Sufra, provided 920 hot meals to those in need during Ramadan 2021. Furthermore, a special meal was provided on the Eid Day Festival to share the festivity with those less fortunate. Hot meals were provided to those in financial difficulty, experiencing homelessness and/or unable to cook for themselves. This project was for the community at large

regardless of faith, race, gender,
background or age.
•
In August 2021, the Charity was
able to provide a further 270 hot
meals for those struggling and
desperately in need.
Furthermore, and to achieve Charity
objectives, a fundraising project was
initiated to raise funds to enable the
purchase of a dedicated Nurulquran
property/site. The vision for this being
the establishment, stabilisation and
further growth of the Charity. To
encourage participation and inclusion,
onsite events were held (outside of
lockdown) for the local community to
give their insights & feedback on this
project. Online Facebook fundraisers
were also created, and fundraising was
carried out both onsite and online.
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 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 Since inception, the Charity has grown
in size. It now enrols approx. 50
students to its longer-term weekly
courses and up to 100 students in its
short courses.
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 educational classes held by the
Charity have made a small yet
significant difference to the
beneficiaries of the classes by
improving knowledge on refining one’s
character, the importance of social work
and helping others in need, as well as
bringing together people who otherwise
find themselves alone in times of need.
The fundraising events are held by the
Charity to date have been successful in
the aim of creating awareness of the
Charity and raising funds for its
purpose.
On easing of national Covid19
restrictions, a trip was arranged to
Pinner Memorial Park in August 2021 for
students to come together, socialise,
ponder on and get closer to nature, and
as a result get closer to the Creator. The
Charity arranged food, recreational
activities, walks and health promotion.
Feedback for the event was very
positive, with many attendees
commenting on how it helped their
mental health after experiencing
isolation during the pandemic.
