ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Fine Foundation is a place of worship and a cultural centre for Muslims, which is a focus for Islamic faith, learning and culture. It is a place where the teachings and the message of Islam create a spirit of tolerance and harmony for the Muslim community in London and throughout the United Kingdom and for society as a whole.

Over the past year, the masjid undertook the extension work to accommodate the growing needs of the community. The successful completion allowed us to cater a larger congregation & provide a comfortable environment for worshippers.

Fine Foundation has provided religious facilities for prayers, seminars and gatherings. The organisation has provided after school provision for children from the local area; this includes development of their religious understanding of Islam and other religions, academic studies and sporting and leisure opportunities. The organisation has also hosted several events for local schools, colleges and university students to give them an insight into Islam as part of their religious education studies. The organisation has held several health and well-being workshops with registered health professionals. The organisation also provides several ladies only events, which fulfils a growing local demand. The organisation has also contributed to other charities who are better equipped to deal with charitable causes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
