CRAWLEY ISLAMIC CENTRE AND MOSQUE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. 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

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 £452,618 (2023 - £349,898). 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 wellbeing" 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.

I report to the charity trustees on examination of the accounts of Crawley Islamic Centre and Mosque (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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 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.

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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.
