Attendance grew from a small core to a congregation that now regularly fills the hall. We currently hold one khutbah in English, and stewarding helps manage safe capacity and smooth entry and exit. ●Ramadan: We held a community iftar and ran nightly taraweeh at Ferry Lane Primary School. The community’s response was very positive, and the recitation of the Qur’an was completed over the month. ●Festivals: We held Eid al‑Fitr and Eid al‑Adha prayers at Ferry Lane Primary School. The celebrations included ‑ family friendly activities such as bouncy castles and shared food. Local councillors, including Councillor Peray Ahmet, attended in support. ## Education and spiritual development ‑ ●Sisters’ gatherings: Monthly or bi weekly sessions offered an opportunity to learn, reflect and connect, with light refreshments provided. Typical attendance was in the dozens, with larger gatherings at times. ●Qur’an recitation: Weekly online classes ran for a period and were well received; these paused when the teacher needed time off, and we plan to resume or replace them when possible. ●Youth development (in planning): Work continued to explore a Scouts partnership with Scouts UK to provide structured personal development for local youth. ## Youth and community engagement through sport ●Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu (BJJ): Weekly evening sessions (adults and older youth) ran with qualified instructors. Dedicated mats were purchased to deliver a safe, professional experience, offering a constructive, disciplined environment and positive peer networks. ●Football: Weekly evening football sessions for brothers helped build relationships, fitness and community cohesion. ## Community support ●Informal pastoral support: While we did not operate formal welfare services this year, small issues were occasionally raised within the community and trustees/volunteers provided advice or signposting where they could. Partnerships and civic relationships ●Venue partners: We maintained strong working relationships with The Engine Room and Ferry Lane Primary School, whose support has been invaluable to our growth. ●Local ecosystem: We enjoy positive relationships with neighbouring mosques and faith groups and plan to join the North London Committee of Mosques to deepen collaboration. ●Civic engagement: We continued to build a constructive relationship with Haringey Council, with councillors regularly engaging with our Eid celebrations. Communications and reach ‑ ●Branding and web: We refreshed our branding and maintained a clear, user friendly website (tottenhamhalemosque.org). We are discoverable on common local searches for mosques in Tottenham Hale. ●Local visibility: Banners and signage in the area have been effective at helping people find our prayers and events. ●Community channels: A large WhatsApp group provides timely updates and event information. We also featured in the Tottenham Village newsletter through our relationship with The Engine Room. ●Feedback: We experimented with occasional surveys; engagement was modest and we plan to improve our approach to collecting and acting on feedback. Fundraising (narrative) Our main fundraising routes were Friday collections and online campaigns. For cash collections we use simple, robust controls: at least two volunteers are present to witness counting and handover. Donors are informed clearly about the purpose of each appeal and how to connect with us for further information. ## Volunteers and people ●Volunteers: Around twenty active volunteers sustained our work over the year, with varying time commitments. Core roles included Jumu’ah setup and stewarding, sisters’ event support, and additional help around Ramadan and Eid. ●Training and practice: We provide event management guidance and benefit from volunteers with health and safety experience. We recognise and thank our volunteers and will continue developing our volunteer policy, code of conduct and recognition. ●Managing sustainability: To reduce the risk of burnout, we schedule flexibly, share responsibility and recruit new volunteers as we grow. ## Safeguarding, safety, inclusion and data ●Safeguarding: The Safeguarding Lead is Mohammed Mohammed. Our activities are primarily adult‑focused; where children attend, they do so under parental supervision. As our programmes evolve, we are reviewing the need for DBS checks for specific roles. ●Health and safety: Risk assessments are completed for larger events. For weekly bookings we comply with venue requirements and maintain the necessary documentation. Stewards manage capacity, flow and general safety. ●Inclusion: Women attend Jumu’ah, and we run dedicated sisters’ activities. We seek accessible venues and do not discriminate on any grounds. ...CONTINUED Page 2 ## **TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE Trustees' Report (continued) For the Period 7 February 2024 to 31 March 2025** ## **Main Achievements - continued** ●Data protection: We use secure cloud tools (Google Drive/Workspace) with restricted access to handle essential administrative data. ●Incidents: No serious incidents were reported to the Charity Commission in the period. ## Structure, governance and management ●Legal form: Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO – Foundation), registered 07 February 2024. ●Trustees: Three trustees served during the period. Trustees met at least twice per month and made decisions collectively. There are no employees; all services are delivered by volunteers. ●Volunteer operations: Volunteers meet regularly to support weekly Friday prayers. Larger events (Ramadan and Eid) involve structured planning, stewarding and logistics. ## Facilities and property search ●Current venue: We currently host Jumu’ah at The Engine Room in Hale Village. The space is fully accessible and well located; regular attendance now brings the hall close to capacity each week. ●Permanent premises: Securing a suitable permanent site in Tottenham Hale remains a strategic priority. Supply is limited and the search is challenging, but we are actively engaging commercial estate agents and liaising with the council. Our goal is to secure a space that enables all five daily prayers alongside wider community services. ## Achievements and impact highlights ●From a handful to a full hall: Jumu’ah attendance grew steadily and now regularly fills the venue, showing clear local need and strong community trust. ●A living community hub: Weekly sport sessions (BJJ and football), regular sisters’ gatherings, festive Eid events with families, and a full Ramadan taraweeh programme deepened spiritual life and strengthened bonds. ●Constructive civic relationships: We built a positive relationship with Haringey Council and deepened collaboration with local venues and faith partners. ## Risk management ●Volunteer capacity and wellbeing: The risk of burnout increases as activity grows. Mitigation includes flexible scheduling, clearer role descriptions, sharing responsibilities, recruitment of new volunteers and recognition efforts. ●Venue capacity and continuity: Our current hall regularly reaches capacity. Mitigation includes exploring an additional Jumu’ah in future if needed, improving stewarding and, strategically, prioritising the search for a permanent site in Tottenham Hale. ## Plans for the next year ●Worship and space: Secure a site in Tottenham Hale that enables all five daily prayers and supports a broader programme. If growth continues, assess the feasibility of a second Jumu’ah to manage demand. ●Youth development: Establish a Scouts programme in partnership with Scouts UK, potentially in collaboration with other local mosques. ●Community presence: Continue improving visibility and communications, with more consistent content and better feedback loops. ●How we will gauge progress: Property search milestones (shortlisting, visits, negotiations), strengthened relationships with estate agents and the council, launch of the Scouts partnership, sustained safe capacity management at Jumu’ah, and a growing, supported volunteer base. ## **Reference and Administrative Details** ## **Trustees** Mr Mohammed Mohammed - Chair (appointed 07/02/2024) Mr Ishaq Pathan - Trustee (appointed 07/02/2024) Mr Hamada Mahdi - Treasurer (appointed 07/02/2024) ## **Charity Number** 1206923 ## **Principal Address** Flat 175 Vickers Court Waterside Way London N17 9FT Page 3 **TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE Trustees' Report (continued) For the Period 7 February 2024 to 31 March 2025** ## **Independent Examiner** Durhams Accountants Limited 8 Yorkdale Drive Hambleton North Yorkshire YO8 9YB Page 4 ## **TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE Trustees' Report (continued) For the Period 7 February 2024 to 31 March 2025** The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by: Mr Hamada Mahdi Trustee 21/01/2026 Page 5 ## **TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE For the Period 7 February 2024 to 31 March 2025** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of TOTTENHAM HALE COMMUNITY CENTRE (the Trust) for the period ended 31 March 2025. ## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
