The charity’s activities carried out in the year 2022-2023

Qurbani

Qurbani, or Udhiyah in Arabic, means sacrifice. Every year Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, a sheep, a cow or a camel – to reflect Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for the sake of God. The Qurbani meat allows some families to eat meat after a whole year . When families receive Qurbani meat, it fosters a real sense of hope for them and allows them to celebrate this important occasion along with millions of other Muslims across the world.

Achievements and Performance

This year, with the generous support of our donors, we were able to distribute Qurbani meat to over 300 families.

The distribution of Qurbani meat is an important part of our annual charitable activities, and it brings joy and support to those in need. This year, our efforts were particularly meaningful, as the meat was distributed during the Eid celebration. For many families, receiving the meat was not only a source of sustenance, but it also provided a sense of community and belonging during a time of celebration.

We are grateful to our donors, who contributed towards this cause and made it possible for us to reach so many families in need. Their generosity and support have enabled us to continue our mission of providing assistance to those who need it most.

At Al Hafiz Academy, we remain committed to serving our community and supporting those who are most vulnerable. We will continue to work tirelessly towards our goal of creating a better world, one small act of kindness at a time. We thank our donors for their continued support, and we look forward to continuing our charitable work in the years to come.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 05 AUG 2022 TO 04 AUG 2023 TO THE TRUSTEES

I report on the accounts for the period 05[th] August 2022 to 04[th] August 2023 set out below.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
To state weather particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiners statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements have not been met;

(2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
