Prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP (FRS 102)
## **1. Objectives and Activities**
## **Charitable Objectives (as per Clause 3 of the Constitution):**
Nurulquran is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the following aims:
- To advance Islamic education for the public benefit by providing structured classes, lectures, and teachings on the Islamic faith for both Muslims and non-Muslims.
- To promote social inclusion by preventing social exclusion, alleviating the needs of the socially excluded, and facilitating their integration into society.
“Socially excluded” refers to individuals experiencing poverty, old age, illness (mental or physical), family breakdown, or socio-economic hardship.
## **Summary of Activities (2024–2025)**
To fulfil its charitable objectives during the reporting period, Nurulquran delivered a range of educational and community-based activities for the public benefit.
- Educational Classes: Weekly and term-based Islamic education classes were delivered both onsite and online in English and Urdu across various UK cities, including London, Birmingham, Blackburn, Manchester, and Reading.
- Regular Courses for Children and Young People: Age-specific courses were delivered from September 2024 to July 2025. These included Qur'anic studies, Islamic etiquette, and interactive learning through games, quizzes, and multimedia resources.
- Summer Courses for Children: Short age-specific summer programmes were held in August 2025. These included Qur'anic studies, Islamic etiquette, and activity-based learning through games, quizzes, and multimedia resources.
- Short Courses for Adults: Inclusive courses for men and women were delivered in March 2025. Topics included contemporary Islamic issues, acts of worship, and character development in the light of the Qur'an.
## **Ramadan Programmes:**
In March 2025, a children's camp and a teen-focused course were organised at a hired venue, combining spiritual learning with engaging group activities. All instructors were DBS-checked. Special Urdu and English courses for sisters focused on Qur'anic translation and brief commentary to enhance understanding during Ramadan.
- Educational Resources: Nurulquran produced and distributed educational materials, including Qur'ans, course folders, and student notes.
- Food Aid: Food parcels were distributed during Ramadan to support few refugee families experiencing financial hardship.
To deliver these activities, the Charity regularly hired external venues, including schools and community halls. These facilities enabled Nurulquran to provide accessible educational and welfare services while continuing to work towards its long-term goal of acquiring a permanent centre.
The Trustees confirm that all activities were undertaken in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

## **CIO Name: NurulQuran**
## **Notes to the Accounts 31/08/2025**
**Volunteers and Trustee Remuneration and Benefits** Volunteers: Volunteers make up the vast majority of individuals running the Charity, organising events, and completing all admin work, including the accounts, the vast majority of whom have been volunteering with us for over 5 years. Remuneration: None of the trustees (or any persons connected with them) received any remuneration or emoluments from the charity during the financial year for their services as trustees. Volunteer recognition: During the year, one-off gifts were given to volunteers as an appreciation of their time and contribution to the charity's objectives since the charity's inception. The combined total value of this across all volunteers was £1176 (£1020 gift vouchers + £156 scarves).
