It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in:an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'.

All our projects and services have continued to grow as well as some new, benefiting great many more of the community. In keeping with objectives, we continue to develop our facilities for worship, and we provide full facilities for all daily prayer sessions as well as prayers for special occasions in accordance with Islamic faith. We work towards alleviating poverty, isolation, culture, and language barriers in order to improve quality of life. We are planning to provide Social cultural, sports and recreational activities. We work with leading Islamic Charities by collecting the obligatory religious donations (Fitra, Zakat and Sadaqa), which were then distributed, to the poor and needy in various parts of the world. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** It goes without saying last that year has been difficult due to covid-19. Alhamdullillah we have managed it to the best of out ability under the circumstances. In the last financial year we competed renovation of 8 Strode Road by providing a ladies prayer room and rebuilding toilets and washing facilities at the cost of £35,154.23. This has also provided class rooms for children. This involved a total demolition of the old toilet area and rebuilt it in a new layout. This now includes a baby changing facility, shower room and three toilets. Prior to this renovation, the toilet and Wudu space were not of a suitable standard, and they are now purpose built, hygienic, and finished to a good standard. New kitchen has been fitted complete with new appliances. Overall the entire building has benefited from a new boiler, complete electrical wiring and general redecoration and plastering. Three years ago we set up a Muslim funeral service, as well as a monthly funeral plan. We worked with the Borough Council of Wellingborough and succeeded in change in burial policy to facilitate Shrouded burial according to Islamic requirements. Since then, the service has been functioning well and is now well established. During Covid-19 lock down unfortunately the Masjid had to be closed but we continued limited services, such as on-line classes for children. From the beginning of lock down in March 2020 we have been delivering essential food supplies to vulnerable members of community and providing shopping delivery service. Islah Ul Muslimeen is now registered with HM Revenue and customs (HMRC) to get tax back on Gift Aid on your donations. Our prime focus continues to be promoting knowledge and providing much needed services, within its scope of operation, to all the communities. Our Open-door policy has produced many enquiries and has resulted in numerous Mosque visits by local Schools and other groups. Various fundraising and cultural events took place during the year, in line with inter-faith and community cohesion work. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The income is generated from donations collected from the Muslim community.
