Trustees' Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended31st July 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of RecommendedPractice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
COMPANY HISTORY
Our free of charge madrassa started as a home setting, with children of friends and family. The trustees felt they could do more for the community and with that in mind madrassa free of charge was opened at Barking Community Centre in January 2017 to benefit more children and families in the local area. The madrassa was run during the weekdayeveningsat first. With the madrassa up and running, there was demand to also provide activities during the day to benefit the local women and to engage the youth. Recreational activities were set up during the weekends and school holidays so that children could develop friendships in a safe environment as well as learn about their faith in a fun way. Weekday, evening and Weekend meditation classes were provided to cater for everyone. We also started providing religious advice or pastoral support required by the local community. More activities were set up as more volunteers with a wide range of skills and professional background joined the charity. All of the services provided were free of charge.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
The charity has continued great efforts to provide support and services to the public. This service has expanded from the centre in Barking (London) to a national level. On the onset of the Pandemic, the charity moved quickly to provide the madrassa and classes on-line. The on-line activities have enabled more people of all ages and backgrounds to access the charity's services from across the UK.
The charity has continued some of the great work it was doing before the pandemic and improved several services. With the ease of lockdown restrictions, some of the face-to-face activities were resumed in order to get back to some sort of normality.
We found a safe way to continue our purpose whilst keeping our people, volunteers, and students safe from the pandemic by continuing with our online activities for both adults and children. We provided interactive videos for educationalpurposes via our YouTube Channel. This has kept our students engaged, increased their knowledge,and have providedthe youth with team bonding, fun-filledactivities, and skills to use as they go on in their daily life.
The Youth Personal Development Programme was launched in October 2020.We have also made great progress on our outreach work to the youth as we launched our youth professional development programme. Our programme has made great progress as we have had professionals offer their insight on different careers giving our youth mentees perspective on which career, they would like to pursue. Additionally, we have collated feedback alongside taking a proactive approach in engaging the youth. We resumed outdoor activities for the youth when it was safe to do so.
We also re-opened our Barking Centre in February 2021 after a period of closure during the peak of the 2nd wave of the pandemic, as the charity recognised how important meditation settings were during these challengingtimes. Many people had missed the face-to-face meditation sittings which are key for mental and physical health. We worked tremendously hard to organise small sittings in line with social distancing and ensured that everyone complied with the mandatory requirement for wearing face masks.
The opening of our new place of worship and meditation centre in Broome took place in the holy month of Ramadan in May 2021. Families from different cities across the UK attended the opening ceremony for a meditationsession in Ramadan and for the occasion of Eid. It was a welcomechange for families to enjoy Eid in peaceful surroundings. All governmentguidelineswere followedto keep everyonesafe. A Cultural Day held on the 11th of July at the new centre, enabled people from the local community to get to know their new neighbours and to learn about our beliefs and culture.
Our reverts mentoringprogramme launched in June 2020 has gone from strength to strength. As of July 2021, there were over 80 reverts using our programme and gaining great benefit from their mentors and our Shaykha. We have had great feedback on how the reverts feel we have provided them with a friendly atmosphere where they can easily ask questions and work on their spirituality. We also held an online gatherings and Eid Parties for our revert mentees where different participants took the time to connect, celebrate and carry out performances such as poems, reciting nasheeds and their own artistic work.
Our on-line madrassa has been a stable platform for our students to continue with their Islamic Education throughout the pandemic and has provided the charity with a steady income to enable us to continue to deliver our key services.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Achievements and performance
The charity measures success through user feedback and educational achievements. The charity always welcomes and acts upon feedback. We have received ample positive feedback and continue to strive to improve our services. Our range of activities, including reviews can be found on our website, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
Religious Projects and Services
Religious Teaching
Spirituality has remained at the core of our religious teachings which encourages the need for individuals to improve their characters (in accordance with the teachings of the Quran and the noble practises of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). We continue to recognise the need for spiritual peace promoted by our meditation sittings and lectures. We have carried out face to face meditation sittings and on-line sessions (for those who were not able to travel for face-to-face sessions in London) which have proved extremely useful following lockdown. Attendees have benefitted massively from our session as they encourage them to improve their characters, reflect upon actions and improving their behaviours towards themselves and others. All whilst maintaining and upholding British and Islamic values.
Our lectures and gatherings have also encouraged everyone to adhere to lockdown rules and included vaccination promotion highlighting the need to protect society. All face-to-face gatherings and events have complied with all government guidelines and social distancing and mask wearing has been observed.
"When you hear that [a plague] is in a land, do not go to it and if it occurs in a land that you are already in, then do not leave it, fleeing from it," [Al Bukhari]
We continued to provide on-going support during the holy month of Ramadan (a special month where Muslims fast and congregate for worship). Our on-line services were well receivedas we provided comfort to users with several programmes online which kept them socially and spiritually engaged whilst maintaining social distancing and staying safe.
We provided:
-
Daily Quran Explanation lessons held in both English and Urdu
-
Daily Meditation sessions
-
Friday sermon live streamed by Imam Sheikh Muhammad Amir Karim
-
Morning broadcast with Imam Sheikh Muhammad Amir Karim
During the period of the pandemic, individuals had time to reflect and to explore other religions. Jamia Almaarif provided the platform for such individuals to help them learn more about Islam and guide them on their journey to discovering a new faith.

After school madrassa
Once again, our after school on-line Madrassa established at the start of the pandemic has developed even further and this is a testament to our dedicated team of teachers who are all hard-working volunteers. Our teachers work under the guidance of our Imam and Shaykha and have worked to ensure our children are progressing with their learning as well as taking part in our Youth Programme. We have embedded Islamic principles in our students whilst teaching them how to become upstanding citizens of society. Due to the great feedbackvia word of mouth, our madrassa has grown leaps and bounds. As of 31st July 2021, there were 209 students enrolled in the madrassa taught by 26 volunteer teachers. The Imam also spent 8 hours weekly on teaching sessions for the madrassa.
"I think the online classes are working very well and I am pleased at the effort put in by everyoneto allow our children to continue learning in the lockdown." Fatma
We held several on-lineperformances by the madrassa children.These ensured that our students were still able to enjoy and learn about key events and provided our students with an online platform to demonstrate how much they had gained from learning with us. The students spent weeks preparing their performances and did an amazing job in performing for parents and students alike. We're extremely pleased our students received a unique experience from our teachers as we not only increased their knowledgebut also their confidence and belief in themselveswhich is key to our pillars and beliefs. Parents, students, users, and volunteers all enjoyed the event thoroughly.
"I am extremely happy my children took part in the Seerah Conference. It helped them build their confidence in performing for adults and their peers and they also learnt many things from their classmates. We are very excited for the next conference." Tahira Peterborough
Our madrassa children joined the Eid on-line celebrations with their performances of Quran recitations, speeches and nasheeds. Families from across different cities in the UK were connected to join in the celebrations.
Classes for all the family
Jamia Almaarif has continued its efforts to provide the whole family with services to improve their spiritual wellbeing as well as their Islamic Knowledge.
We continued to provide classes especially for those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure our aim of providing education and opportunities to all is fulfilled.These classes have remained free for all to use. We provided a whole range of classes for all the family to increase their knowledge in Islam, improve their practise and support their children in developing their Islamic and British values. To name some of these classes: Quran Tafsir (explanation of the Holy Quran), Quran Tajweed, Islamic Essentials classes and meditation sessions. As mentionedbefore, our classes are not only free but also open to people of all faiths to explore and learn as they wish. During this reporting year, we had over 200 people who joined and benefitted from our classes on a weekly basis.

Social Welfare
Religious Advice and Support
The Imam has continued to provide advice and guidance on religious matters, personal issues concerning marriage, family disputes and other aspects of Islam to help people in the community. He has also provided further services such as Q and A sessions, weekly classes, morning broadcasts and meditation sessions whilst observing social distancing and within government guidelines.
The Imam has also taken an active approach in vaccination promotion to protect us from the Corona Virus. With the spread of rumours and conspiration theories on social media, causing confusion amongst the Muslim Community, the Imam took a stance to clarify myths and taboos that have nothing to do with Islam. The Imam quoted verses from the Holy Quran and sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that clearly guide Muslims not to believe unauthenticated information and to refrain from spreading such information in society.
"O you who have believed,if there comes to you a disobedientone with information, investigate,lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become regretful over what you have done." (Quran Ch 49, V6)
Our Imam has continuedto be a beacon of light within many homes as numerous followers tune in to listen to his many broadcasts, live streams, classes. He has also been a regular speaker on Iqra TV highlighting in particular the challenges that they youth are facing today and how to keep them away from negative influences.

Many people also reached out the Imam for spiritual support as they suffered with loss of loves ones and the struggle of restrictions or isolation. The Imam continued to provide Islamic knowledge and spiritual support supporting those with loss of loved ones, livelihood and to keep an uplifted spirit. The Imam's continuous efforts to support anyone and everyone who requires emotional support, mentoring or Islamic Knowledge has meant many students have benefitedfrom the experienceof very our valued community leader and guide. We have had regular feedback about how the Imam's mentorship and guidance has helped them to establish a steady connectionwith their creator building a stronger spiritual connection.The Imam's continued efforts do not go unrecognised as our students express how his mentorship has been a vital source of support for their mental wellbeing during these unprecedented times.
Emotional Support
We are extremely fortunate that our volunteers are skilled professionals in various fields. Some of our volunteerswho work in a mental health capacity have volunteeredtheir skills to Jamia Almaarif and supported our mentees,students, and users. We arranged mental health support sessions for our youth mentees. This has enabled them to deal with emotional issues better by using coping mechanisms and setting them clear goals and tasks on developing better.
Individuals especially new reverts who often have found themselves alone and isolated in their new environment, have also benefittedfrom 121 sessions with our Imam and Shaykha who have provided people with emotional and spiritual support.

Meditation classes
Our meditation sessions have continued virtually to run successfully providing many people across the UK with a source of peace and tranquillity for all. Our sessions focused on developing a connection with their creator and explore inner peace through our silent mediation practice. Non-Muslims and Muslims have both been welcomed to join in; enabling them to enhance their spiritual wellbeing and provided them with a safe space to ask questions, explore beliefs, perspectives and build friendships.
Face to Face sessions in small groups, were held in our Barking centre in London, whilst continuously carrying out risk assessments to ensure the safety of all attendees whilst on our premises. On average 150 people were in regular attendance over 5 sessions on a weekly basis.
When the place of worship and meditationcentre in the village of Broome was opened in May 21, it provided a place where families could come together to meditate and take a break from Urban life. Over 150 people including children were in attendance for the opening ceremony during Ramadan and for Eid. We accommodatedour families in several sessions to comply with social distancing and ensured all were wearing masks and hand sanitising as a form of protection from virus.
Youth Club
Our Youth Club has continuedto provide the youth with fun and free activities and events. These events were open to the public and for people of all backgrounds. In the summer of 2020, we ran an online youth camp which includedmany activities, educational sessions and team building sessions. 67 young people between the age of 5 and 17 enrolled. We provided our students with topic specific classes, Q&A sessions, and interactive quizzes to consolidateinformation. This was very well receivedand appreciated amongst students and parents. The teachers made use of PowerPoint presentations, quizzes, question and answer sessions, art, and craft activities to keep the children engaged in the topics. Some of the students then went on to enrol for the yearlong Islamic Studies sessions on Saturdays.
"Alizah really enjoyed attending the 5-7 year old summer programme classes this August. The teacher was excellent. Alizah learnt so much. It was great that a different topic was taught every day of the week. The lessons were fun and interactive. Alizah will miss these classes very much. Thank you to Jamia Al Maarif for organising these classes and a special thanks to the teachers for all their hard work" Lila
"My daughter started Islamic class for 5-6 years old children recently. I really appreciate the patience that is needed when teaching children at this age. Teacher makes it very interesting and interactive for children, making sure they understand the topic and makes a quiz at the end of each lesson. I'm very pleased with the class and happy for this opportunity." Zuzanna
We provided several on-line resources for children to learn in fun way and at their own leisure via our YouTube channel. We engaged them practically after with online interactive quizzes for the while family which proved great fun.

Our weekly Primetime programme has provided a platform for our children to participate in and showcase their learning in a fun way. We continued to engage our younger audiences with on online Primetime series every Sunday where the children recited poetry, displayed their arts, and expressed their learnings from our online classes.
Primetime has also helped our students develop speaking skills and their confidence in themselves.
"AllhumdullahAsad build his confidencea lot and improved his recitation. He can recite Nasheed anywhere in big crowds Masha Allah." Farhat Sajad
Children also had the opportunity to perform and celebrate Eid online. This gave the children the opportunity to dress up in their best clothes and perform on-line for their friends and families to view across the UK, providing a sense of togetherness during a time of restrictions when families could not celebrate with each other in person.

We provided an on-line homework club supporting children in National Curriculum subjects which was well receivedby students and parents. Our Youth Mentoring and Developmentprogramme has been a huge success and our youths have benefitted from various career on-line forums giving a real insight into various career paths including talks from Qualified teachers, Phycologist, Dermatologist, Banker, Forensic Scientist and more. At a time when mental health was being affected immensely, the Youth Mentoring and Development programme has enabled the youth to deal with the pandemic and its outcomes. We opened this platform form for the youth themselves to present their own forums choosing topics which they felt were important to them whilst at the same time building on their presentation skills and confidence,clearly demonstratedby Farhan in his presentation of the topic Quran and Science.

"Alhumdulillahmy experiencewith the Jamia Al Maarif youth forum has been extraordinary. Before signing up to the forum, I had weak public speaking skills and little confidenceand mental health understanding and little knowledge in what academic career I wanted to undertake. However the Jamia Al Maarif youth forum provided me with so many opportunities for me to practice my speech skills, improve my mental health understanding, and even allowed me to learn about various careers in the form of multiple online events that really thrived during tough lockdown times." Safi (Cambridge)
The charity has provided the youth with volunteering opportunities by allowing our youth to help in social media management, fund raising and older teens to help in the madrassa. Our youth mentees have not only enjoyed the exposure but also helped trustees see the perspective of the youth and improve the programme accordingly. We aim to continue these efforts in the next financial year.
"Volunteering for the madrassah has helped me immensely to improve my communication skills as well as time management. With each pupil I had to adopt unique ways of teaching to ensure that they understood everything. I love teaching them and seeking how they progress in their learning is a great pleasure" Emaan (Barking London)
Our youths had missed meeting each other in person. As soon as outdoor limits for social distancing were increased to 30 people in May 2021, a youth event was organised in June 2021 in our new Broome place of worship and meditation centre, attended by 27 youth who travelled from London, Oldham, Bolton, and Peterborough. For some it was their first time to be in a rural location. They really enjoyed being in the peaceful countryside, enjoyingthe food and spending time in the company of Imam and socialising with other youth members from different cities after such a long period of lockdown.

Our Arts & Crafts club
Our Arts and Crafts club has remained popular as we maintained this momentum throughout the pandemic. Our volunteers took to online platforms and continued to create tutorial videos for children and adults to take part together. The online platforms have enabled students and parents to do something fun together as an interactive way of engaging children whilst learning a new skill. We had a monthly art tutorial in which our students tried at home, and we offered prizes for best efforts. An example of this is below: Recreate this Masjid Nabawi Inspired Painting for the chance to win a prize at the end of the month.

New Muslims
Our Reverts mentoring programme which was launched in June 2019 continued to support new Muslims in their spiritual journey in various aspects. There have been 80 enrolments to the programme during this reporting year supported by our volunteer mentors who have all been learning with Shaykh and Shaykha for several years now and are equipped to deliver one to one mentoring sessions, answer questions and help with motivation when needed. A one to one eight-week review with Shaykha provided our mentees with pastoral care when needed, a safe space to ask questions and an opportunity for them to feedback on their experience and learning, so we could improve our programme. We also carried out annual reviews where achievements were acknowledged as well as any milestones which had been overcome. Overall, the programme provides new Muslims with a consistent flow of support and knowledgein all aspects of a Muslim's life. It enables the individuals to develop the confidence to make decisions based on their believes and contributes to their personal well-being, physically and emotionally.
During this reporting year due to the Covid restrictions, new Muslims were supported with on-line activities with a tailored reverts course free of charge. They were also able to join in with the other regular classes available to everyone.
"I have been enrolledin the mentoringprogramme with Jamia Almaarif since it began in July 2020. It is such a varied and rewarding programme and I really enjoy the classes. To be assigned a personal mentor and be able to set your own goals and work at a pace that suits you is such a great benefit. The weekly online meetings cover a variety of interesting topics which enhance our learning. We are all reverts with different levels of experience and can put forward any questions we have. This programme has been such a great benefit for me and I would encourage any revert to join the mentoring programme. The support you get is amazing." Lisa
"The Quran Tafseer course is an absolute must for everyone!Everything is explained so clearly by Shayka, I have learnt so much Alhamdulilah. The classes are always something to look forward to. She draws on her wealth of knowledge to deliver engaging and informative detailed explanations of verses from the Quran, setting them in context and highlighting their relevance to the daily lives of her Muslimah students. She is always happy to answer any questions and shows genuine interest in the welfare of her students" Emma

"I had been struggling to learn Tajweed for a long time before I came about this programme. I struggled to even learn the Arabic alphabet. But thanks to the amazing support from Jamia Almaarif I have been able to complete the Qaida and progress onto reading the Quran." Shanon
Our New Muslim communityshared their stories and experiencesin Islam through our monthly on-line social gatherings and celebrations. A few of these stories were pre-recorded and premiered onto our YouTube channel. We were awed by their revert stories and it was an opportunity for them to also share how Jamia Almaarif had helped them on their learning journey.
jamia almaarif revert stories - YouTube
When governmentguidelinesallowed, menteesheld revert picnics and gatherings in their local parks. This was a great opportunity for reverts to meet other likeminded reverts, make friends, and socialise.
"Thank you! The gathering was very beautiful mashallah, I can't wait for the next event with other sisters. Thank you, it actually really motivated me to hear the things other sisters have/had to go through because of their decision to revert to Islam, inshallah we keep supporting each other like that." Lara Hajdu
Social & interfaith activities
We continue with various social and interfaith activities as they prove to be popular year on year. Before the pandemic, our Mother and Toddler group in our Barking Centre had provided a welcomespace for all to socialise and play. People of all faiths and backgrounds were welcomedand it was received well by the local community. Our activities included exercise, outdoor play at local parks, coffee mornings and other activities. This enabled women of diverse backgrounds, faith and ethnic communities mingle and make friendships. It was also a place where they shared experiences and found common ground. As restrictions began to ease, mothers met in the local park for activities and outdoor play.
We hosted a Cultural Day in our new Broome place of worship and meditation centre (see below under premises) to get to know more about our faith and culture. The Village Hall was hired so sufficient space would be available to keep within government guidelines for social distancing. 26 people from Broome and nearby villages attended and were welcomed with information stalls, presentations, refreshments, and lunch followed by a tour of the mosque and Q&A session with our Imam. Everyone enjoyed the cultural food and appreciated the warm welcome they received.
"I really enjoyed meeting you all this afternoon. You made a lot of effort to greet this community with friendship, openness and an insight about your culture and beliefs. I welcome you and believe your presence will enrich the village of Broome." kary
"We really appreciated meetingyou and seeing the transformation of the Chapel after all the years of seeing it closed and neglected. Blessings to you all." Steve and Janet

Premises
Our existing building in Barking has continued a licence agreement and is still serving a good purpose. We altered our way of carrying out services to cater for social distancing by only holding sessions where we catered for smaller groups of people. Our Barking centre has continued to remain in a good conditionand the rent has remained affordable. Our plan is to search for a bigger and more permanent premises however for now the premises remains appropriate.
Our new place of worship and meditation centre in Broome Norwich, leased since the 8th of January 2021, was agreed by all trustees as a wonderful opportunity for us to branch out and offer our services in a rural location for our users who are based in urban areas to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. A 7-year lease agreement is in place for this property and has been granted on a rent-free basis until further notice. Expenditure incurred were on utility bills and installing a fire alarm system and emergency lighting system. We are extremelypleased that we were able to raise a large amount of money in June and July 2021 to upgrade the toilet/wudu (washing) facilities and to also provide a disabled toilet and access.
Our local teams in Oldham, Peterborough and Birmingham have continued to work in their areas to provide on-line support to their local communities, providing a listening ear and motivating people to remain spiritually uplifted during a difficult lockdownperiod. We continuedto search for affordable premises in those areas, to be able to offer face to face support and for more families to be able to access our services.
Fundraising activities
Due to the dedicated work of our volunteer teachers and great mentorship of our Imam and Shaykha, our madrassa programme has grown from strength to strength. It has continued to be our main source of income and generated over £42k in income for the Charity. The monthly fees have remained at an affordable amount. Our students are offered over 20 hours of teaching over the course of the month equating to less than £1 an hour - we have carried out stringent bench marking and still find we are affordable compared to other local providers. Children who joined as a family of 3 were given a discounted rate. We are pleased to confirm we were able to offer 4 children free places and 76 children received a reduced fee rate. Our regular users and their families have continuedwith their generosity of donating to our charity, generating over £37K in general donations which has enabled us further to deliver our programmes. A go fund Campaign to support our services during the month of Ramadan raised over £4,500.
Our fundraising campaign to upgrade the toilet/washing facilities for the Broome place of worship and meditation centre was extremely successful in June and July with over £16,000 raised for this project. We have also receivedpledges to provide materials such as tiling, sanitary ware and fitting services which trustees are extremely thankful for.

FUTURE PLANS Governance and Administration
The trustees will continue to ensure that all the policies are in place, reviewedregularly and all volunteers are up to date with their training to ensure compliance with safeguarding children, health and safety and data protection. All volunteers who are working closely with children have been DBS checked and any new volunteers will undergo this check. A suitable insurance policy is in place.
Funding
The financial reserve of the charity is in a stable position despite the pandemic. Our current income exceeds our expenditure. Our funding forecast indicates that our monthly income will continue to exceed our monthly expenditure.We plan to raise more awareness of our excellentwork to support our youth and new Muslims to encourage more donations. We will also continue to raise funds for the upgrade of our toilet facilities at our Broome Centre.
Projects
Our Youth Personal Development Programme (PDP)
Our youth personal developmentProgramme has taken of extremely well. Our mentees received weekly 121 with professional volunteer mentors. We also delivered monthly talks from professionals from different industries such as lawyers, finance professionals and mental health professionals.We aim to continuethis with the view to deliver fortnightly intimate workshops where we will focus on career and academic development.
We also recognise how important it is for the youth of today to have face to face interactions. As a result of the pandemic, it has been an extremely difficult period for everyone, especially the youth. We recognise how their social skills, mental health and academic progress have been impacted. For this reason, we will aim to organise and implement regular youth camps, days out and social activities as we did prior to the pandemic.
We will aim to organise further team building sessions, picnics, and social events. Our youth events will also incorporate spiritual retreats where our youth take part in meditation sessions with our Shaykh and Shaykha. The trustees thoroughly believe that bringing the youth back to normality will help enhance their mental health, career development and academic success. Meditation sessions will also focus on self-reflection and feeling at peace which we thoroughly believe will be key success enablers.
Up to now, all our younger students also had access to all the services we have provided under the Youth Personal Development Programme. In the coming year we plan to promote even more opportunities for younger childrenunder the age of 12 by carrying our regular activity days on weekendsand school breaks. We believea child's physical and mental wellbeingis a key milestonefor their developmentand future progression therefore we aim to help encourage younger children to engage in physical health sessions and activities that promote mental wellbeing such as arts & crafts, icebreaker activities for social inclusion. Trustees also acknowledge that as the charity has grown more volunteering and growth opportunities should be providedfor the youth. We have started this process howeverwe feel this can now be taken to the next level where we aim to offer proper volunteering opportunities, and 121 career mentoring in running a charitable organisation.Trustees thoroughly believe this will help our youth become successful and confident individuals in society.

Free 'Healthy Minds & Body Project'
Jamia Almaarif plans to launch a programme for youth and other members of the communityin which we will aim to engage the community in vital skills and community building experiences with youth as a priority.
The project branches from our Youth Personal Development Programme (PDP) which was initially set up online during the pandemic. We have already conducted several holiday clubs and activity days since August 2021 and our aim is to open this experience up to more youth in the communities we serve.
As part of Jamia Almaarif's Heathy mind & body project, we will aim to implement a new healthy habits theme in the activities we do. Future excursions and activity days in the coming year for our youth will be designedaround keeping fit & healthy. We understand the importance of good physical health combined with mental wellbeing being a core aspect for any individual's life. Healthy body equals to healthy mind and vice versa. Examples of how we will plan to implement this is
1. Sport activities regularly.
- Excursions in countryside for a more peaceful setting where the youth can engage with the nature, increase in exercise in a natural 'green' setting and additionallypractising meditationand mindfulness-based techniques for a healthy mental state. Our Broome location is also perfect for walks in the countryside.
We will work with other professionals and use any local services, parks, and forests to encourage good health habits for all of our users. We have a team of healthcare professionals who are onboard in our healthy minds & body project. A dietician & nurse to deliver healthy diet, food balance and exercise learning and mental health therapists to promote mental wellbeing by providing workshops based around cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
Jamia Almaarif enjoybeing innovativeand as an organisation we want to progress in our work and services to provide support for all individuals. We are constantly learning and progressing and developing to meet the needs of our service users.
New Muslims/Reverts resource development.
As our revert programme has been running for some time and we have had the time to reflect on the programme and collate feedbackfrom our mentees.We are aware of the difficultiesnew Muslims can face and we are aware our establishment can mean we are they're only form of support.
We will continue to offer our mentorship, a listeningear, and a place they can celebrate being a Muslim. This includes Eid and Ramadan events and any other auspicious occasions we offer and support with our zakat funding for those in need.
Jamia Almaarif also recognises that retreats and outings will be beneficial to our revert mentees. We have started to look into this and will be looking at how we can organise these in the near future. We are also looking in to how we can expand the learning of our mentees as we recognise this needs to be bespoke and tailored to the mentees with appropriate learning resources.

Developing Relationships
Our aim to offer our services to both Muslims and non-Muslims has continued and expanded. The Imam has taken a proactive approach in promoting peace and unity in the communityby discussingrelevant issues in the daily and weekly broadcasts. The Imam has also highlightedthe benefits of vaccination and how important it is to keep each other safe whilst maintaining good physical and mental health.
We will aim to hold more interactivesessions at our Barking Centre and our Broome location, where people of all backgrounds are invited to join and take part. This will include our mother and toddler group, coffee mornings where the community can learn about our services and Q&A sessions with the Imam.
Premises
The charity will continue to operate at the London premises for prayer, meditation, and local activities to benefit the local community.
Following the successful obtaining of our Broome Centre, we are happy to confirm we have already carried out several meditation sessions and open days welcomingthe local community. Many of our users have also travelled to the centre and had an eventful and fun day there. We plan to have many more open days and face to face activities there including youth days out to the local beach, use of local residential facilities and spiritual retreats for our users to enjoy in the beautiful countryside.
We are also in the process of negotiatingthe lease of a property in Peterborough as mentionedin our previous report. Preparations for this were put on hold due to the pandemic however we are now back in discussions with the local mosque who own a property which would suit us very well for our purpose and negotiations regarding favourable rental terms are underway. We aim to sign a 12-month rental agreement initially which will then be reviewed by trustees.
Our long-term goal is to have enough users and donors to be able to raise large funds to eventually have our own place. We will be actively looking for any potential affordable premises for our permanent base. However, with the pandemic, currently things do not seem that favourable for big fundraising campaigns, but we are hopeful for a larger venue of our own within the next 5-7 years. Our local teams in Oldham and Birmingham are also searching for premises so our services can reach more local people.
School
For some time now the trustees of Jamia Almaarif have consideredopening an independentschool. As a result of the pandemic the plans were placed on hold. Our longer-term goal will be to find suitable premises to open a school subject to DfE approval.
Staff
During the reporting year, 6 staff were employed on both a permanent full/part time basis to deliver some of our key and specialist services. The trustees recognise that we require experts to deliver certain services and for this a salary or paid annual wages due to the level of service and commitment required.
The trustees also recognise the need for paid work experienceopportunities which is something the charity is looking in to - this will act as a key success enabler to give young people life skills, work experience, and benefit the community.
