**CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1194272** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] MARCH 2022** ## **From the Trustees** Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful, May the peace, blessings and mercy of Allah be upon you and your family”. ## **Introduction** The Charity was incorporated as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) on 29 April 2021. The Charity was incorporated as the CIO that would be the successor to ‘The Shropshire Islamic Foundation’ which is registered at the Charity Commission with Charity Registration Number of 1112127. Whilst the incorporation process has been completed, legal advice obtained has indicated that the full undertaking of the unincorporated SIF cannot be transferred to the CIO until such time as all assets are transferred – in particular the properties at Tan Bank and King Street – the latter of which is likely to involve an application to the Court. Therefore, the necessary legal work is being undertaken to complete the asset transfers. It is planned that the legal process will be completed in time for next year’s annual report. Please see Trustees Annual report filed under charity 1112127 filed for the year ending 31 March 2022 for further details and information. For now therefore for the reporting year, the Charity has had no financial activity, there have been no transactions such as deposits or withdrawals during the period, as confirmed by the auditor’s report (see below). ## **Financial Statement and Annual Accounts** Auditors: Bagri & Co Accountants (part of APEX Accounts) serve as auditors for the charity. Please see the report and accounts attached herewith. ## **- Appendix Structure, Governance and Management** ## **Governing instrument** The Charity is a CIO governed by a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation dated 21 April 2021. ## **About the Trustees** The Trustees are legally responsible for ensuring that the charity works towards its Charitable Objectives.
