OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity was incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and registered with the Charity Commission on the 01/09/2023.
The objects of the CIO are:
"To advance the religion of Islam for the benefit of the public, mainly but not exclusively, in Redditch (Wrocestershire), including holding prayer meetings, lectures, celebrating religious festivals, organising and providing religious learning, spiritual guidance, pastoral care and producing or distributing literature about the Islamic faith".
“The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in determining that these activities are for the public good."
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the financial year, the charity has continued to advance its charitable objectives by promoting the Islamic faith, providing facilities for religious worship, and supporting the spiritual, educational, and social needs of the Muslim community in the local area.
The trustees are pleased to report the following key achievements during the year:
Religious Services: The Masjid continued to hold the five daily congregational prayers, Friday (Jumu’ah) prayers, Taraweeh during Ramadan, and both Eid prayers. Attendance remained strong throughout the year, demonstrating the ongoing importance of the Masjid as a centre for worship and community cohesion.
Educational Activities: Regular Qur’an classes and Islamic study sessions were delivered for both adults and children. Special programmes during Ramadan and other key periods provided further opportunities for learning and reflection.
Community Support: The charity has recruited volunteers to help support the masjid and grow the community.
Youth and Engagement Initiatives: The Masjid organised youth activities and community workshops designed to encourage positive engagement, moral development, and leadership among younger members of the community.
Facilities and Maintenance: Essential maintenance and improvement works were carried out to ensure that the Masjid remains a safe, clean, and accessible environment for worshippers and visitors.
The trustees are satisfied that the charity has met its key objectives during the year and continues to deliver tangible public benefit in line with its charitable purposes. The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in determining that these activities are for the public good.

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
