## **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.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: SORP reference Para 1.38 Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The highlights of this financial period are:
● The transition of core activities from
developing and creating products to
producing programmes and
educational services for our
in-person and online community.
● 130 students across all programmes
from 61 - 113% increase YoY

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
