The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section - 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention. 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the - Charities Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## _M.

The main activity of the Charity is to promote the Islamic faith and Islamic charitable institution in the United Kingdom and to support, expand and develop institution financially and otherwise. The Charity also provides facilities to Muslims to perform their duties of prayers, organises other religious events and provides basic education about Islam to the young people of the community. The Trustees and Executive Management Committee this year comprised five members, who were all volunteers and collectively responsible for managing the Charity. ## **OBJECTIVE FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT** The aim of the Charity is to promote Islamic faith and provide basic education to Muslim about Islam to fulfil their duties. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the policies for the year. ## **RESULTS FOR THE YEAR** The Receipts and Payments Account on page 4 shows net movement in funds for the year of £27,331.00. Our reserves stand at £31,352 in total. ## **OUR ACTIVITIES THIS YEAR FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT** We organised regular meetings with the head teacher and all other teachings staff for the syllabus implementation and to check the progress. We also organised meetings with the religious ministry leading prayers and delivering sermons in weekly congregations, seminars and conferences to incorporates their views in the day to day operations of the Charity activities. Page 3 We also engaged parents in evening sessions as a part of the getting consultation with them. This helped our trustees to understand the need of the people of the community. Regular meetings are held by the trustees and the committee members to discuss the implementation of the suggestions provided by the members of the community. In order to engage the young women of the community, Charity organises the circles twice a week for sisters and three times a week for others in Urdu and English as well as in Bengali languages. We will plan yearly tasks for on-going improvements to our services and performance once we returned to our regular activities. Please note that we have hit by coronavirus a “pandemic” and it is very difficult for everyone across the board and particularly charitable organisations, We had to close places of worship due to lockdown situation. As the funds collection was severely affected, it would have impossible to meet day to day running expenses of the organisation with the necessary expenses such as utilities etc without having prior reserves in our account. ## **ACKNOWLEDGMENT** We are very thankful to all the members of the community for their donations and the information provided that is displayed on our notice board. We would like to give a special thanks to all of the charity's supporters and volunteers, without whom our work would not be possible. .......................................
