CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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 for the year ending 31st March 2025.
Now progressing beyond our initial years of establishment, Yaseen Youth Development has continued to strengthen its presence and deliver meaningful programmes in line with our vision to serve and inspire young people. Our motto, “Inspire the Youth, Inspire the World,” remains central to our work and strategic direction.
We believe that young people in the UK and around the world hold the keys to their own success and the future success of their communities. Through structured programming, mentorship, travel opportunities and community engagement, we aim to instil confidence, broaden horizons, and nurture positive leadership.
Youth Tours & Overseas Exposure
During this reporting period, our Youth Tours programme continued to attract strong demand. A key highlight was the Summer 2024 Bosnia Youth Tour, where participants travelled to Bosnia & Herzegovina, visiting Sarajevo, Mostar and historically significant sites. The tour combined cultural exploration, historical reflection and spiritual development, providing young people with a transformative international experience.
Sisters’ Engagement & Development
A greater focus was placed on sisters’ programming during this period. This included: Ramadan Vision Boards & Reflection Session (March 2025) – During a youth event where activities were delivered in parallel formats, brothers participated in sports activities whilst sisters engaged in a structured vision board and reflection workshop designed to encourage spiritual focus and personal goal-setting for Ramadan and beyond.
Sisters’ Trek
A dedicated sisters’ physical challenge aimed at fostering community spirit, resilience and fundraising engagement as part of wider campaign efforts.
These initiatives strengthened female participation and created safe, empowering spaces for young women to grow socially and spiritually.
Residential & Development Programmes
In early 2025, the charity delivered the Spring Youth Retreat @ PGL, a residential experience combining outdoor activities, team-building exercises, workshops and mentoring. The retreat provided young people with an opportunity to develop leadership skills, resilience and stronger peer relationships in a structured environment.
Ramadan & Spiritual Programming
Ramadan 2025 was a particularly active period for the organisation. Activities included: Ramadan Live Appeal – “Yaseen Needs You”, engaging the community in supporting the sustainability of youth services.
Structured Ramadan youth gatherings and spiritual programming at the Youth Centre.

Financial Review
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the financial statements and comply with applicable law, including the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
Total income increased by 17% to £578,210 (2024: £493,738), primarily due to increased donor support, including contributions from major partners such as Mercy Mission.
Total expenditure reduced by 12% to £515,522 (2024: £582,756), reflecting improved cost control and more efficient delivery of charitable activities.
The charity reported a net surplus of £62,688 for the year (2024: deficit of £89,018), largely caused by an increase in restricted income.
Reserves at the year-end stood at £150,983 (2024: £88,296). While overall reserves have strengthened, unrestricted funds reduced slightly during the year, highlighting the importance of maintaining sustainable core funding to support the charity’s ongoing operations and long-term stability.
Plans for the future period (2025-2026)
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, Yaseen Youth Academy, Sports foundation and many more activities and programmes.
Going Concern
With 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 more young people turning to our organisation for support and help. The Trustees and CEO have taken steps to make more prudent expenditure and increase income via fundraising campaigns. The Trustees have concluded that the charity operation will still remain a going concern for the short and long-term future.

Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the ’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
