From 01/04/2023 To
Charity name: Sadr Ul Ulama Academy
Charity registration number: 1185079
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To advance the Islamic religion for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by holding prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals, producing and/or distributing literature, promoting publications, writings, discussions, gatherings, talks, teaching, education and research and by any other means as the trustees shall in their discretion determine to enlighten others about the Islamic religion. |
| 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 |
During this period, the organisation continued “business as usual” activities like product sales, talks, and gatherings. However, as mentioned in the previous TAR, the organisation needed to reevaluate its delivery method to achieve its objectives. Following extensive community research, discussion and evaluating global trends. The organisation started to work to focus less on developing products that can be sold and provide educational services, talks, and gatherings. To fulfil this, the organisation presented a vision to its community, which they had asked for. The outcome was that, due to their contributions, the organisation was able to rent an office space to hold in-person educational services for adults throughout the week. This space needed extensive renovation to make it fit for purpose. Programmes were designed, developed and marketed, resulting in 61 students across various programmes. |
| We’ve organised multiple prayer meetings (celebrating Eid, etc) and built a more robust and larger community of around 400 WhatsApp community members. |

| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees considered the guidance laid out by the Charity Commission on public benefit with each of their activities within the financial period. Community feedback and global trends showed that members wanted a closer and more frequent opportunity to learn rather than a singular activity of using our products. This meant our core activity delivery method had to change. Since delivering the new activities, we’ve had overwhelming support for the initiatives launched and their delivery. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Our products sold entirely out in the previous FY. As a result of the impending change to our core activities, the organisation saw no reason to restock. However, the majority of our income was due to donations for this period to manage the initial cost of renovation, development, and transition to a new delivery method of activities. Student fees are heavily reduced during this period to encourage registrations. We’ve already had a lot of interest, and a waitlist for the next intake period has been developed. This is an area that will grow in the next period. Compared to the previous, the cash balance at the end of this FY is greater than a 100% increase. As time continues, we’ve implemented an internal agreement to hold a constant minimum bank balance of £10,000. |
