Objectives and Activities

Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	• The advancement of the Islamic faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the Quran and the teachings of the Sunni way of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) according to the Quran and Sunnah through educational classes on Quran, Arabic and Islamic Studies on Saturdays between 10am and 1:30pm. • The advancement of education for public benefitthrough educating all students in attendance at Al-Hikmah, a Saturday Islamic school, incorporating the teachings of the religion of Islam according to the Quran and the teachings of the Sunni way of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) according to the Quran and Sunnah.
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	Al-Hikmah Harrow runs a volunteer led educational service on Saturdays where children aged 5-17 are taught: 1. How to read the Quran with encouragement towards being confident, independent readers 2. Surah memorisation for use in daily prayers and for bringing closer their bond with the Quran 3.

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	Al-Hikmah Harrow has educated in excess of 70 students during this period to increase their understanding of Islam and advance the faith. These children have been taught according to the teachings of Islam in the Sunni tradition and in line with the Quran and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) including but not limited to: • How to read the Quran Independent learning to understand its message and not rely on third party sources that could deviate the message • To be a good example of a Muslim and honour, respect and contribute positively to the local and wider community of all faiths • To be an ambassador for good through daily reflection, self-

	improvement and increasing
	understanding among others
	Al-Hikmah Harrow has also helped
	many from low-income backgrounds
	who have not been able to afford
	tuition fees, textbooks, Qurans,
	stationery, etc with free materials to
	support their learning.
•	In March 2020, when the UK went
	into lockdown, this adversely
	affected the charity and its ability to
	deliver its services. Al-Hikmah
	Harrow explored the viability of
	online classes, managing to deliver
	regular sessions between June
	2020 and April 2021. This meant
	that additional funds were spent on
	exploring, setting up and facilitating
	online classes alongside
	communication and marketing to
	highlight this change. We will also
	need to plan for when the premises
	will re-open with in-person classes
	as it has been indicated to us that
	premise hire costs will increase.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	At the end of April 2021, the charity held funds of £15,940. Given the unexpected pandemic and its impact on the charity, the financial situation will be reviewed in 12 months in light of progression of the pandemic and ability for the charity to continue providing its volunteer-led services.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold as a minimum enough funds to meet six weeks of operating costs for the classes.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£3500
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Whatever is donated is used to fulfil the services provided. We are volunteer led and adopt a not-for-profit approach with fees received for paying students contributing towards premise hire, educational resources and volunteer expenses and training. Unless the charity has over 100 students, there will always be a shortfall at current costs, which is assisted by donations. In light of this, the reserves mentioned are part of the funds available in order to maintain the delivery of services. The trustees will monitor the situation and act in the best interest of the charity with regular donation drives and keeping costs down so as to increase the longevity of the services provided. Since the time the charity was incorporated, COVID has impacted our ability to raise funds and deliver services. We have successfully managed to continue education this year partly due to the cost savings from the forced closure of premises and will continue to evaluate going forward.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	None
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	Given the pandemic and its impact on the charity, we will review the status quo in 12 months.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements	Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements	where relevant about:
The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	The charity is entirely reliant on donations paid by those who support us. The fees to attend the educational classes barely cover the costs to provide them given the premise hire cost, funds required to bulk buy books and educational materials as well as volunteer expenses and training. If the charity struggles to deliver based on the donations received, trustees have agreed to (where possible) fund the charity

		to the appropriate limit in order to allow it to continue running its services.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	The charity holds no investments and currently has no plans to amend this.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	COVID has affected the charity’s ability to deliver face to face services and has also meant that our volunteers who are directly or indirectly affected by the pandemic, may not be able to provide as much time or physical work as needed to deliver our services. We will review the situation in 12 months, while continuously monitoring.

Structure, Governance and Management

Description of charity’s trusts:		The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration of other financial benefits. The trustees meet regularly as a body and are responsible for all decisions relating to the smooth running of the charity and delivery of services.
Type of governing document (trust deed, royal charter)	Para 1.25	Constitution for CIO
How is the charity constituted? (e.g unincorporated association, CIO)	Para 1.25	CIO
Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees	Para 1.25	Trustees remain the founding members of Al-Hikmah and further trustees can be appointed through election to post upon agreement by all trustees. In February 2020, we sadly lost one of the founding trustees, Zia Baig as he passed away after a short illness. The remaining trustees voted for Rukhsana Baig in as a new trustee in May 2020.
