Serving the Community, Working in Partnership
The Northwich Muslim Centre and Islamic Community Centre is in the heart of Historical and the Fine town of Northwich, A town with a rich history, and welcoming home to the diverse Communities. It is our belief that our primary concern should be to serve the needs of the local community and to work towards the common good. In recent years there have been noticeable improvements in Historical and fine town of Northwich in education, health provision, environment, and community cohesion. Our partnerships with Northwich Council, Interfaith Forum Northwich, Northwich Police, neighbourhood Watch and Other Community Organisations have helped us to contribute towards these improvements. This builds on the very foundation of the mosque: a coming together of distinguished Muslims and non-Muslims to create Northwich’s Muslim Centre.
The Northwich Muslim Centre and Islamic Community Centre works actively to promote tolerance and understanding. Along with all the local mosques, we are trying to bring together Muslims from different backgrounds and strands of
Promoting Tolerance and Opposing Extremism
Islam. We enjoy excellent interfaith relations - our centre is physically joined to the neighbouring Community - and the strength of these relationships has stood us all in good stead during the difficulties of recent years. Several times each year we open the doors of the mosque and centre, inviting people from the communities and other faith Organisations to visit and view an exhibition about Islam and Muslims.
Our Imams and community workers encourage constructive engagement in society and a rejection of extremism in all its forms. We unequivocally reject all terrorism. Northwich Muslim Centre and Islamic Community stood firm against this distortion of Muslim beliefs and prevented them from using the mosque as a platform for promoting their views. We advise worshippers to ensure they are registered to vote and to take part in local and national elections.
Youth and Women: Encouraging Participation
The Northwich Muslim Centre and Islamic Community Centre currently offers a range of services that enable young people and women to engage in a positive and safe environment. We have youngest congregations as well as Women Congregation, but our existing facilities restricting us to allow our Women, Youngsters and Children.
The new facilities will allow women and Children to access relevant services in a culturally sensitive environment, including counselling services, special events, social support, training and fitness; some of these activities are offered in partnership with local community organisations. The ethos of the Norwich Central Mosque and Islamic Community Centre is to provide choice and to empower sections of our community who may feel isolated from mainstream services. The centre will provide young people the 'space' to meet and take part.
The purpose is to establish a Mosque and Islamic Community Centre which will be a community hub for Muslims as well as Non-Muslims in Norwich and Norfolk. The initial aims of the project include:
Promotion of Religious and Spiritual Activities
Our Mosque provides an adequate and suitable prayer facility for Muslims living in Northwich which includes holding:
-
Five daily prayers
-
Friday prayers
-
Eid prayers
-
Taraweeh prayers in the month of Ramadan
It is always open to all believers to pray and practise their beliefs regardless of their Age, Race, Disability or Gender.
Development of Islamic Education and True Knowledge according to the Teachings of the Quran
The Centre regularly organises the following activities to promote true Islamic knowledge and ethics which have been helping to uphold Islamic Cultures and good values which include:
-
Weekend Islamic School for Children
-
Seminars
-
Lectures
-
Conferences
-
Tea Parties
-
Coffee Mornings
-
Mosque Open Days and Exhibition on Islam
-
School Visits for local schools
-
Imam Training and Volunteer training
-
And more.
Multi faith activities and Community relations
Continue to strengthen relationships with the wider community and enhance communication in order to create a stronger community. This will be achieved by co ordinating with other local faith organisations and faith groups. We have been working with local Authorities, Local Police, Fire Services, probation Services, and other Voluntary Organisations
Public Health Awareness and Counselling
The Centre always helps to create support groups for men and women. It has been providing counselling for a variety of issues which consist of bereavement, anxiety, depression, family issues etc.
It also helps to facilitate preventative health awareness courses in partnership with local NHS and other charity organisations.
Economic Regeneration
To support the deprived locally and nationally, the Centre often facilitate fund raising events, feeds the homeless and collects essentials through food banks for the homeless. The Centre has been running a Food bank for the local Community since the Pandemic Started regardless of faith or gender.
Youth Facilities

Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other debtors

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due.

-
Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
-
Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Freehold investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.
Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
2 Company status
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
