The trustees present their annual report and unaudited financial statements for the period.
## **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
**1.** To advance in life and to promote the social inclusion of young people through:
(a) The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life;
(b) Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
**2.** To advance the Islamic religion and Mouridism in Bristol for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals, producing and/or distributing literature on Islam and Mouridism to enlighten others about the Islamic religion and Mouridism.
**3.** To further or benefit the residents of Bristol, in particular but not exclusively those of Senegalese and Gambian origin, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have the power to establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or co-operate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects.
**4.** To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by working with people in Bristol who are socially excluded on the grounds of their ethnic origin, religion, belief or creed (in particular but not exclusively members of the Senegalese and Gambian communities) to relieve the needs of such people and assist them to integrate into society, in particular by:
(a) providing a local network group that encourages and enables members of the Senegalese and Gambian communities to participate more effectively with the wider community;
(b) increasing, or co-ordinating opportunities for members of the Senegalese and Gambian communities to engage with service providers, to enable those providers to adapt services to better meet the needs of that community.
## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
Since its registration in 2019, Touba Community Bristol Charity (TCBC) has been continuously offering advice, advocacy and information to the community on wide range of topics including employment and volunteering opportunities, education, accommodation, immigration, social welfare, Islam and Mouridism.
TCBC is always striving to support more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage. Most importantly we are always focusing on nurturing self-independency and fostering good individual citizens who are economically active.
Our main focus with the Post COVID-19 lockdown was to build and solidify social bonding and reconnect the communities affected by Covid-19; combating isolation, lack of integration and loneliness.

## **Trustees report continued..**
We have expanded our weekly seminars to three days a week as a result of increased demand, offering educational and extracurricular activities, Islamic activities, sermons and workshops for adults and their families, and young people in order to contribute to their education, improve their wellbeing and support their overall development.
All the activities we undertake for the benefit of the general public are guided by the basis of Mouridism, consisting of: being in the service of humanity through education and hard work, solidarity, tolerance, charity and mutual respect.
Furthermore, in order to reach out to more people and enhance community engagement and social cohesion, we organise regular community events involving/inviting EVERYONE in the local community irrelevant of race, creed, belief, religion, age, gender or sexual orientation.
The purpose of these activities are to connect and bring more people together, reduce social isolation and build strong relationships in and across communities.
In planning the charity's activities for the year, the trustees have reviewed the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission at their trustee meetings as required by Section 17(5) of the Charities Act and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
## **Responsibilities and basis of preparation of the report**
The trustees of the charity are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's report to the Trustees for the year ended 28th February 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the above period.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report:**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement:**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
