The basis of selecting new trustees is by way of identifying people who regularly attend events and functions organized by the Trust, show an interest in and volunteer to help during these activities. These people are then invited to attend Trustees meetings as observers. They are then given more details of the Trust’s aims and objectives. Upon satisfaction these are in line with their ideology of charity work and after due consideration of the person’s eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills they are proposed as new trustees by the existing ones at the subsequent meeting where they are appointed by the current Board members.

Resources expended
Expenditure is recognized on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which relate:
-
Costs of generated funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
Charitable expenditure compromises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Fixed assets
All tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Additions costing more than £200 are capitalized.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold Property - Depreciation over 50 years Fixtures, Fitting & Equipment - 20% on reducing balance method Motor Vehicles - 25% on reducing balance method
Restricted Funds
Restricted funds are those funds on which these are externally imposed restrictions, and these are legally binding on the trustees in terms of how the funds may be used. Zakat, Fitra and Sadaqat donations have been included in this category. It is policy of the charity not to use these funds for the construction of the Centre
