## **WEST LEEDS JAMIA MASJID TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **Trustees Annual Report for the year ended May 2025**
## **History, Objectives & Activities of the Trust**
West Leeds Jamia Masjid was established approximately in March 2023 to provide a place of worship for the Muslim community of Armley. The building was purchased entirely from donations and interest free loans given by the Muslim Community. Both the initial donations and additional amounts donated since have been under terms, which allow the trustees to retain the amounts as capital or to spend them. The Trust Deed gives the trustees the power to apply the funds in such a manner as they think fit to or for the benefit of any charitable object or purpose. The trustees currently have a policy of supporting five types of activity:
1. Maintaining the Mosque
2. Promoting Islam amongst Muslims
3. Providing Supplementary Classes for Children,
4. Providing Religious Education to Muslim Children
## **Management & Governance Arrangements**
The trust deed provides for a minimum of three and a maximum of eight trustees. Where there is requirement for a new trustee, these would be identified and appointed by the remaining trustees. The chair of trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee, which involves awareness of a trustee’s responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity. The existing trustees have held office for over since March 2023.
## **Procedures & Policy**
The trustees normally meet once a month to review and discuss any concerning or pressing matters involving the running of the Mosque.
The trustees will also annually check and sign off the Safe Guarding, Data Protection, IT, Equal Opportunity, Health & Safety, Behaviour, Learning Agreement, Fire Safety, First Aid Lone Working and Governance policies. The trustees will also utilise this time to review any feedback that has been received over the course of the previous month. The trustees have various policies in place which are communicated to all concerned.
## **Achievements & Performance of the Trust**
The trustees always seek feedback on the actual use of donations and the achievements made, including those given by individuals. During the year, the trust has been able to continue its support for the Muslim community through various methods and resources, the continued support of the education of Muslim Children and creating the awareness amongst Muslims in general of how they integrate within the British values. The trustees have throughout the previous year created classes with the imam giving lectures on core beliefs of the Islamic way of life from the Quran. The trustees have also begun classes for the elderly to develop and practice their faith by encouraging them to engage with the Imam and to learn and understand Arabic. The trustees have created sisters only classes which run twice weekly. The trustees have throughout the year invited distinguished guests to hold talks about Islam and how we should integrate into British Culture.

## **WEST LEEDS JAMIA MASJID TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024**
## **Plans**
The trustees have over the course of the last year continued in their ambitions of removing the interest free loans and by applying for security grants to improve the security. The Trustees are in the process of making the mosque more eco friendly by looking at ways of heating the mosque by using renewable energy sources.
## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity, and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime, the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Independent Examiner**
The trustees intend to ask the existing auditors to undertake the independent examination of the Trust in the following year.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.
