## **CRAWLEY ISLAMIC CENTRE AND MOSQUE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2023**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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 objects of the Centre are to serve the local Muslim community and to fulfil their religious, educational and charitable requirements. This includes organising the main religious festivals and prayers throughout the year.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
During the 3rd year, CICM management have achieved certain milestones in their tenure. One of the significant ones was the completion of the final snags during the defect period agreed by the principal contractor and the full completion of Phase 2. All outstanding payments were completed and a CICM entered into review of the final phase of the project, a new set of bill of quantities were produced and has invited potential contractors to submit their bids for the final phase of the project; the process is ongoing and hope to be finalised in the new year. Funding remained steady and support for charities raising vital funds for their projects was supported during the blessed month of Ramadan. At least one third of the required funds for the final phase were raised and further funding initiatives were in development to raise the remaining sum.The Masjid House has been fully occupied since it's refurbishment and the safety certificates have been renewed by carrying out essential maintenance and service. Alhamdulillah due to the comprehensive Education review that took place last year, we have now more students than ever; further 2 more teachers were employed to manage the education for the newly enrolled students. An AGM was conducted as per constitution and members of the community participated giving their valuable opinions.
Overall, another successful year for CICM the community and the team as we strive to continue to focus our attention where needed, all the developments that have taken place in the last year has had positive impact. The level of community confidence has increased, there are more students attending the Madrassah classes. The standard of education has been consistently improving throughout the year and the teachers are working harder than ever to deliver the best possible Islamic education to the children in our community.
## Masjid Project
There was significant work carried out in developing the fundraising structure for Phase 3, investment was made by members of the Committee in developing a promotional video and a brochure inviting potential donors to participate and invest into the final phase of the blessed project
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The centre's results are as stated on page 4. The Centre achieved net incoming resources of £87,013 (2022 - £187,791). CICM raise most of it's donations from worshippers who attended the mosque. The centre, after opening up post lockdown restrictions, focused on reviving it's fundraising campaign in-order to achieve the completion of Phase 2.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to approximately one year's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that' in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Various community support projects will continue in the next year as well. "Health and well-being" sessions were organised during the year and the team would continue to work with local NHS in educating the community by offering further health initiatives once the new building is complete.
CICM are much grateful to the community for the continued support they have shown amid difficult times despite the increase to the cost of living. CICM will endeavours to continue sharing updates with the community keeping them informed of progress for Phase 3.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRAWLEY ISLAMIC CENTRE AND MOSQUE**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Crawley Islamic Centre and Mosque**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Crawley Islamic Centre and Mosque (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## **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').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do 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.
