Taybah Charitable Trust
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
The objectives of the Charity are:
To advance the Islamic faith in accordance with Taybah Charitable Trust Statement of Faith throughout Nottinghamshire for the benefit of the public, mainly but not exclusively, through the holding of services and meetings, raising awareness of religious beliefs and practices, religious education, celebrating religious festivals, conducting religious ceremonies and providing outreach and pastoral care in the community.
To advance in life and help young people through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities and providing support and activities which develop personal skills, capacities and capabilities to enable their participation in society as mature and responsible adults.
Significant activities
The main activity this year was the continued refurbishment and development of the Masjid building so that it can be fully utilised for the realisation of the charitable objectives. The Masjid was officially opened for prayers and teaching on 15 February 2025, in time for the month of Ramadhan which started this year on 1st March 2025.
We are pleased to report that during Ramadhan we were able to offer all five daily prayers with the additional special evening prayers (Taraweeh prayers) throughout the month. We also provided weekly iftars (food for breaking the fast) for fasting worshippers with food prepared by local families. The facilities offered by the Masjid to both male and female, young and old worshippers coped well with the relatively high attendance during Ramadhan.
Eid ul Fitr, celebrating the end of fasting was so well attended that we had to run two sessions.
During the year we conducted an Islamic marriage ceremony and an Aqiqah, the sharing of food in celebration of the birth of a child.
As part of being of service to the wider community, in March 2025, on the occasion of the University of Nottingham Mental Health Week, we hosted at the Masjid a visit from a group of students and staff from the university to learn about Islam's perspective on mental health and well being. We remain very touched by the positive feedback we received from the attendees.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
£51,460 (2024 - £100,533) was donated by the trustees and local community for refurbishment, development and operational activities. Operating expenses excluding depreciation were £4,244 (2024 - £5,514) and £36,839 was spent on equipment and further development of the premises. The remaining balance was transferred to reserves for future charitable use. The charity would like to thank all its members and supporters for their work and generosity.
Principal funding sources
In the absence of investment income or other regular income stream, the charity is entirely dependent on the generosity and donations from members, attendees to the centre and the local community.
Reserves policy
The management committee is aware, and has a policy, that unrestricted funds held by the charity and not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should be between three and six months of expenditure.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust dated 1 June 2021 as amended by a deed dated 21 July 2023 and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
