**Trustees Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## a. **Governing Document**
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its constitution dated 10th June 2019.
## **b. Method of appointment and induction of new Trustees**
New Trustees are appointed by existing members of the CIO.
## **c. Organisational structure and decision making**
The Trustees oversee the running of the charity on a day to day basis. All operational decisions are made at meetings which are held frequently throughout the year.
## **d. Risk management**
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems, controls and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **a. Summary of objectives**
The objectives of the Charity as set out in its constitution are summarised as follows:
1. To advance the Islamic faith in accordance with the schedule of beliefs.
2. To further or benefit the residents of Keighley and the neighbourhood.
## **b. Activities for achieving objectives**
The following activities were undertaken in the year to achieve the objectives:
1. Running of Al Hikmah Project
2. Running of Mosque and Madrassah
The Trustees frequently review the objectives and activities of the Charity to ensure that they provide an overall benefit to the public. In carrying out this review the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and Performance**
In the year the charity maintained the running of the Mosque and Madrassah to achieve its objectives. The Al Hikmah Project refurbishment continued with campaigns to fundraise for the extensive rebuilding programme. The provision of adult classes commenced in the year for both male and female participants to provide academic and islamic programmes. The nursery was also closed during the year and is expected to re-open in January 2026. Increased rental income from residential properties in addition to car park income continued to be earned during the year.
Refurbishment and rebuilding the new centre for Al Hikmah Project continued in the year with £63,162 of expenditure. The ladies prayer hall and classrooms as well as both ablution areas are nearing completion.
The Trustees are satisfied with the overall performance of the charity.

**Trustees Report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Financial Review**
## **a. Reserves policy**
The Charity's reserve policy is to maintain a sufficient level of liquid reserves to meet short term obligations and any unforeseen expenditure. The current level of income generated by the charity is sufficient to meet our short term obligations and the Charity generated a net surplus of £80,189 in the year. The trustees wish to build up the Charity's reserves with rental income, car park income and public donations in accordance with the policy on reserves to ensure future sustainability.
## **b. Principle funding**
During the year the Charity raised a total of £163,532 in incoming resources before charitable expenditure. This was an increase from the previous year (£137,317) and was mainly due to an increase in funds generated from the community and fundraising activities. Of the total incoming resources £85,155 were restricted donations mainly for Al Hikmah Project , £23,324 were general unrestricted donations, £22,278 was generated from Madrassah fees, £12,775 was rental income from the residential properties and £20,000 was generated from the town car park.
Loans of £62,500 remain outstanding comprising of £50,000 to Middlesborough Masjid, repayable by 2026, and £12,500 to members of the community. Amounts owed to the charity total £12,978 comprising £5,000 from Fountain of Knowledge charity, expected to be fully repaid in 2026, having repaid £5,000 in the current year and £7,978 from the current imam, having repaid £1,000 in the current year.
## **Plans for the future**
The Charity's priority is to become self sufficient from the income streams generated to meet its charitable expenditure. Renovation of the Al Hikmah site has continued and is scheduled to be completed by 2026/27. It has been decided not to continue with nursery classes and to focus on providing adult classes along with Madrassah activities . Fundraising activities will need to continue to generate additional funds from the public and community.
## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities**
Charity Law requires the Trustees' to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any 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 operational existence.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 03 December 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of AlHikmah Project**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 145) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act);
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
in the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and
- * accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
