MESSAGE FROM THE TRUSTEES
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
It gives me great pleasure to present this Trustees report for Yaseen Youth Development. In our second year of inception as a registered charity, YYT has been busy continuing to actualise the vision of the organisation which is to serve the youth.
during this period in response to the great need for interventions to support the mental health of the young people that we serve. Great Minds aims to provide a professional and structured platform for multilevel interventions in the form of Counselling. Mentoring & Befriending. This project aims to improve the mental health of a hard-to-reach group of young people in the BAME community.
Our motto as an organisation is “Inspire the Youth, Inspire the World”. We believe that young people in the UK and around the world hold the keys to their success and the future success of their communities. Developing young people and instilling within them the confidence to achieve and full their full potential.
Setup during the difficult and worldwide COVID-19 crisis, the Corporate -19 project has been very popular. It aimed at providing positive channels for young people to respond and contribute positively to the humanitarian crises taking place around them. A monthly clothes collection for relief work has been arranged to allow the young to contribute.
Our Youth tours have been oversubscribed during this period with many young people being given the chance to travel overseas and broaden their horizons by experiencing different countries and cultures. Our Yaseen Youth Centre in Wembley has been at the heart of our growth, the Centre quickly became a hub engaging young people locally in the area of Brent and throughout the city of London. Activities such as the Youth sessions and events such as the creativity competition have captured the aspirations of young people and have been largely oversubscribed due to their relevance and engagement.
The Sports Foundation programme also saw great engagement and uptake from young
This has been a snapshot of the many activities organised by Yaseen Youth Development. I would like to thank the team, CEO, volunteers, and supporters for the hard work put into making this dream a reality. We hope to see YYD grow in the years to come and support many young people locally and further afield.

people. The annual Football Tournament saw 100’s young people sign up and organise themselves into teams competing for the advertised cash prize. This great attendance allowed us to engage those hard-to-reach young people and instill positive values of initiative and aspiration to reach lofty goals. Our Great Minds project was also launched

VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT
Our Objectives
Operating within an Islamic ethos to act as a resource for young people aged 11 to 24 living in London by offering advice and assistance and organising youth work and play activities of a social, physical, educational, therapeutic and spiritual nature, as a means of:
-
(a) providing recreational and leisure time activities in the interests of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life;
-
(b) providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals;
-
(c) promoting knowledge and understanding of the Islamic faith and encouraging/facilitating the practice of the religion by existing followers.
Our vision
“A world where every youth thrives.”
Our story
Yaseen Youth is a non-profit organisation that was established in 2016 in the holy city of Madinah.
The organisation was formed by a team of youth workers, students of knowledge and professionals who, after many years of working with the Muslim youth of the UK, saw an everpressing need for their development, empowerment and education, with the vision of seeing them shape the future and play a critical role in rectifying the issues facing society.
After forming a small team, and with the help of Talbya Travels in London, we soon founded our first project; Yaseen Youth Tours, launching an annual ‘Youth Umrah’, which takes the youth on a spiritual journey of pilgrimage to Makkah and a visit to Madinah, all the while including a holistic youth development programme (consisting of fun activities, adventure, workshops and retreats). The journey serves as a catalyst to their education and empowerment, as well as forming unity and community spirit, mentor and mentee relationships, and building bonds that will hopefully last for decades to come, insha’Allah!
Imagine a world where every youth is proud of his/her identity, a world where every youth is an effective leader – leading himself/herself and others towards productivity and peace-building in society. Imagine a world where the youth are empowered, nurtured, and engaged to fulfil their enormous potential, and where they reach their highest of aspirations. Imagine a world where every youth is inspired, and imagine a world that is inspired by the youth.
The first Youth Umrah trip took place in 2016 and has continued to take place annually since then, with approximately 1,000 people taking the journey with us by 2023.
However, on the back of these trips, we saw the need to maintain our relationship and provide follow-up programmes to continue to help the youth, and cater to our local youth who haven’t yet been able to travel with us.
At Yaseen Youth, we work towards making this vision a reality.
Thus, Yaseen Youth expanded into new services, projects and programmes, with the varying needs of our youth in mind.

STRUCTURE: GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document

Directors/Trustees Responsibility Statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial
position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees for the purposes of charity law who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board of Yaseen Youth Development LTD are committed to maintaining a strong risk management framework to ensure the organisation is able to manage risk appropriately. This is done through maximising potential opportunities whilst minimising the adverse effects of risk by having appropriate customised systems and controls in place for reporting and action.
Risk Management Process
The general risk management process includes the following steps:
-
An annual review of the previous year's risk management report.
-
A risk identification exercise for the year ahead consisting of an evaluation of identified risks.
-
Recording and monitoring of risks using a risk register.
-
Assigning management and responsibility for risks to the CEO & the team.
Risk management forms part of Yaseen Youth's system of internal controls and is supported by

the policies and procedures of the organisation, covering but not limited to:
-
IT and Data Protection
-
HR & Finance
-
Health & Safety
-
Governance
-
Fundraising good practice
-
Safeguarding
The risk of falling short of these standards is mitigated as far as possible by ensuring that appropriate policies and working practices are adopted in each area and department and that staff are adequately experienced and trained to manage this.
Induction Recruitment of Trustees
All of our trustees are volunteers. They are chosen because they have the diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience that Yaseen Youth needs to respond to key challenges. Stakeholders and partners may nominate trustees, and sometimes we will make a personal approach to potential candidates. To ensure that the charity benefits from a professional and dynamic board, trustees are provided with a comprehensive induction and on-going training in new or emerging areas of responsibility.
New trustees receive a full overview of the strategic and operational functions, which includes a copy of organisation's Constitution, Board Meeting Minutes and Charity Commission guidance “The Essential Trustee.” Trustees play a significant role in the running of the charity and are always expected to keep up to date in the charity world this also includes keeping abreast of “Charity Commission News” and other updates as and when they appear on the commission’s website. They are also encouraged to help identify any gaps in their training needs.

Achievement and performance
During the period April 2023 to March 2024, the charity has achieved many milestones in fulfilling its charitable objectives and also realising its ultimate aim.
Yaseen Youth Tours (YYT) has been actively engaging youth through a variety of events and activities from 2023 up to March 2024. These initiatives are designed to empower, educate, and inspire young individuals, fostering personal growth and community involvement.
Annual Summer Retreat 2023: In August 2023, YYT hosted its 2nd Annual Summer Retreat in Wales. This event provided participants with opportunities for spiritual development, teambuilding exercises, and outdoor adventures, all aimed at strengthening bonds and enhancing leadership skills.
Great Minds Talk: In October 2023, YYT organized the "Great Minds Talk," focusing on addressing depression through the lens of faith. This event offered a platform for open discussions, providing attendees with insights and coping strategies to manage mental health challenges.
Annual Autumn Camp 2023: Later in October, YYT conducted its Annual Autumn Camp themed "Members of His Ummah." The camp featured various activities, including archery, ziplining, and fencing, along with spiritual reminders shared around a cozy campfire, fostering both physical and spiritual growth among participants.
A Night for Palestine: In November 2023, YYT, in partnership with Nadi, presented "A Night for Palestine!" This event aimed to raise awareness and support for the Palestinian cause, featuring discussions and cultural presentations to educate and engage the community.

Tears of Gaza Film Screening: Also in November 2023, YYT hosted a screening of the documentary "Tears of Gaza," followed by a panel discussion with guest speakers. The event sought to shed light on the humanitarian issues in Gaza, encouraging informed dialogue and advocacy among attendees.
February Youth Umrah 2024: Looking ahead, YYT has planned the "February Youth Umrah 2024" under the theme "A New Beginning." This spiritual journey is designed to provide young individuals with an opportunity for religious enrichment and personal reflection, fostering a deeper connection to their faith.
Through these diverse activities, Yaseen Youth Tours continues to fulfill its mission of empowering youth by providing platforms for spiritual growth, community engagement, and personal development.
The Board of Trustees meets at regular intervals to carry out reviews and make decisions and has the overall responsibility for all of Yaseen Youth Developments LTD's activities. In keeping with good practice, the Board receives regular performance reports, annual financial reports, plans, and budgets. It also approves relevant new policies and procedures.
Going concern
The onslaught of the cost-of-living crisis which has hit Europe and in particular the United Kingdom and continues to have an impact throughout this year with few signs that it will curtail. This is naturally felt by organisations like ourselves with lower donations and more young people turning to our organisation for support and help. The Trustees and CEO have taken steps to make more prudent expenditures and increase income via fundraising campaigns. The Trustees have concluded that the charity operation will still carry on to 2024 and that the entity is still a going concern for the short and long-term future
Public benefit
Plans for the future period (2024-2025)
Anticipated funding is expected to allow the organisation to continue to deliver its important and dynamic objectives. Yaseen Youth Development plans to acquire new premises in the next financial year due to the closure of its current location. It will continue to deliver Youth Tours, Great Minds, Yaseen Youth Academy, Sports Foundation, and many more activities and programs.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing and shaping the charity's aims and objectives. It is estimated that there are around four million Muslims living in the United Kingdom, many of whom have been born and raised in the U.K. Yaseen Youth Development LTD aims to provide public benefit by supporting and providing a platform for young people to grow and prosper.
Key management personnel and management structure
The Trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the charity to a CEO and a team of staff and contractors. Administrative tasks were carried out by a professional team of staff members in their respective fields of project management, Finance, marketing, Fundraising, Youth work, and HR.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 11 of the attached Financial Statements and comply with applicable laws and requirements of the ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice’ (SORP) issued by the Charity Commission.
The trustees have identified no material uncertainties that may cast a doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
Income
Total income for the year amounted to £493.7k, a notable increase compared to the previous year’s £457.5k . This rise was primarily driven by a substantial growth in restricted income, which increased from £84.2k to £242.6k , reflecting successful efforts to secure funds tied to specific projects or purposes. However, unrestricted income saw a decline from £373.3k to £251.1k , which may warrant attention to maintain operational flexibility.

Overspend
The organization recorded an overspend of £89k , which was covered by unspent funds from previous years. While this approach ensures continuity of operations, it also highlights the importance of monitoring cash flow and financial sustainability to avoid depleting reserves further.
Net Assets
Tangible fixed assets
The charity does not have any tangible fixed assets.
Reserve policy
Trustees have agreed on a reserve policy where at least 6 months’ worth of operational expenses will be available at the end of each financial year where possible.
Net assets at year-end stood at £88.3k , compared to £177.3k in the prior year. This decline reflects the impact of the overspend:
- Unrestricted Funds: Decreased to £82.5k (2023: £157.4k ), emphasising the need to bolster general reserves to ensure financial resilience.
Restricted Funds: Reduced to £5.8k (2023: £19.9k ), likely due to the completion of projects or activities tied to specific funding.
Financial risk
The Board of Trustees have the overall responsibility for ensuring the Charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise, across the entire organisation in order to provide reasonable assurance that:
