Achievements and performance

The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims:

Raising Funds

All five Trustees have been active in helping raise funds through their contacts and extended family. Binyamin Ahmedjee approached some local businesses and got a donation to help with our objectives. Mr Limbada also raised several amounts through his contacts in Manchester that helped us open new revenue.

India

Aaminah welfare made total of £12,027.50 including bank charges in 1 payments to Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom this financial year. This Indian charity had asked for donations and as they have permission from the Indian government to receive foreign aid, these payments were made. They provide free education and medical treatment and other charitable work in India. We as a trust have donated to this great institution last year and have plans to continue to donate to this charity in India. UK

We have made one donation to help a struggling student pay their fees and support them in their education. We have also made two donations totalling £10,000 to another UK registered charity.

Structure, governance and management

Aaminah Welfare Trust is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission on 15 December 2020 under charity number 1192794. It is governed by a deed of trust. The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

The trustees meet together as a body on a regular basis, where possible, and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the charity and its activities. The trustees are assigned tasks during these meetings and there is regular communication during the intervening periods, through the use of messaging and task management tools,to ensure tasks are completed in a timely fashion.

Appointment of new Trustees

The trustees hold a special meeting where a simple majority is required to appoint a responsible person from the community, judged to be a fit and proper person, as a trustee.

Financial review and reserves policy

Funds available are sufficient to permit the charity to continue in operation in the medium to long term, together with the continued support from the donors.

AAMINAH WELFARE TRUST Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2024

There are no uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern.

This year has been very challenging, and we have noticed a large drop in donations from people and businesses. The main reason is due to the economic challenge we are facing, and people have less savings and less income.

The Trustees actively review all major risks which the Charity faces and drawn up a risk assessment which is reviewed at every meeting. The Trustees are satisfied that all systems are in place and arrangements have been made to manage any risks identified.

The Trustees would like to thank all those who assisted us with their moral and financial support and trust they continue to do so.

Future development

The charity aims to continue with its long-term projects in India. In countries where an urgent need arises, the charity will aim to aid with food, clothing, and medical needs and in the advancement of education. We are hoping to continue working with Heal Humanity to help us distribute any funds.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of AAMINAH WELFARE TRUST

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of AAMINAH WELFARE TRUST (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

l examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
l to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
l to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

l the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

l the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

l the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The appointed independent examiner of the trust:
