Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/04/2024 To 31/03/2025 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 some “business as usual”
activities (talks and gatherings) but
introduced a new workstream in ‘education’
and paused ‘product sales’. This was done
as when the organisation reviewed its
annual performance, it found product sales
to be a low-benefit workstream.
Last financial year, the organisation
conducted an extensive community survey
to understand what services they felt were
needed. Educational services were
unanimously asked, and as a result, the
transformation work was underway last
financial year to cease product sales and
push funding towards educational services.
We launched 5 educational programmes
tailored to different ‘pen profiles’ last
financial year. We had a total of 61
students by the end of last year. Following
feedback from our first cohort of students,
we tailored some programmes and rolled
them out again to expand to 130 students.
Whilst significant resources were being
placed upon educational services, we
continued to organise prayer meets and
expanded our following to over 700
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. We
reflected this by hosting more in-person
activities; however, not entirely sacrificing
online activities. We would repurpose
in-person via social media for our online
community.
We’ve found that by having education at
the core of our organisation, we’ve seen
our communities' confidence in their faith
and our objectives have a positive
trajectory.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 As a result of the charity’s transformation of
services, we saw a sharp increase (3-4x) in
donations and revenue from student fees.
This multiple is inflated due to the services
contributing to turnover being rolled out
part- way last financial year.
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, which has been held.
The organisation has the intent to hold a
larger-than-required cash balance in order
to continue to provide services during
uncertain economic times.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 None held
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 None held.
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 Having reviewed the annual accounts for
the period, the current bank balance acts
as a reserve.
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 No material deficit.
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 There are no uncertainties for the charity
about the going concern, and it has a
positive cash balanc
e at the end of
the financial period.
