The Board of Trustees sets our future aims and priorities focusing on strategic planning and governance and also evaluates our performance and progress in our work to alleviate poverty and suffering.

## **Recruiting and Appointing Trustees**

## **Governing document**

## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
The annual report and financial statements are prepared according to the relevant law and approved by the trustees.
The trustees keep adequate accounting records and they show and explain our transactions. The records also disclose our financial position with reasonable accuracy at any time and enable trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015.
## **Grant Making Policies**
We provide grants to projects if the request meets our charitable objectives and criteria. Project grant making is managed according to a designated process, which is documented in our Operational Risk-Management Framework. We aim to treat all grant applications professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.
## **Public Benefit**
We develop strategic plans to make certain that we provide maximum public benefit and achieve our strategic objectives, which fall under purposes defined by the Charity Act 2006.

**Objectives and Strategic activities**
The objects of the charity are set below:
To advance the religion of Islam by means of but not exclusively, promoting the teachings and tenets of Islam, provision or assistance in the provision of facilities for worship and Islamic education in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) as interpreted by the Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamaah school of thought.
## **Achievements & Performances**
## **Sadaqa and Food Distribution in Uganda**
We provided regular food support and sadaqa distribution to vulnerable communities across Uganda. Through these efforts, many families were able to access nutritious meals and vital necessities, ensuring stability and relief in areas facing chronic poverty and food insecurity.
## **Sweets for Children in Gaza**
To bring joy to children enduring the hardships of conflict, we distributed sweets and treats in Gaza, particularly during festive periods like Eid. These simple gifts brought smiles and moments of happiness to hundreds of children affected by violence and instability.
## **Charity Dinners for Palestine**
We organized charity dinners to raise crucial funds for humanitarian relief in Palestine. These events united supporters and communities in a shared mission to provide essential food, medical aid, and support services to those living under hardship.
## **Hot Meals in Tanzania**
In Tanzania, we provided freshly prepared hot meals to vulnerable individuals and families throughout the year. These meals ensured that recipients—many of whom faced daily hunger—had access to nourishing food, improving their well-being and dignity.
## **Food Pack Distribution in Palestine**
We delivered food packs to hundreds of families across Palestine, especially timed during Ramadan and other critical periods. Each pack contained staple items to sustain a family for a full month, alleviating the burden of food insecurity in times of extreme hardship.
## **Water Pumps in Pakistan**
We constructed numerous water pumps in southern Pakistan, supplying clean and reliable water to over 100 households. These pumps drastically improved daily life by reducing waterborne illnesses and ensuring families had access to safe drinking water close to home.
## **Solar Panel Madrassah Support UK**
We supported a UK-based madrassah by installing solar panels, reducing its reliance on nonrenewable energy and cutting operational costs. This sustainable initiative ensures a cleaner energy source while allowing funds to be reallocated toward educational resources and student support.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 01 May 2024 TO 30 April 2025 TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report on the accounts for the period 01 May 2024 to 30 April 2025 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 whether 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;
or
- (2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
