Year ended 31 December 2024

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Report and the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2024.

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 3 to the Accounts and comply with the Charity’s Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in England and Wales.

Structure, governance and management

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW

The principal activities of the Charity were in accordance with the stated objectives of the Charity, namely the advancement of Islam and related services to the community, and were as follows:

  1. The advancement of Islam through the provision of daily prayers and related services;

  2. The provision of Sharia compliant burial services for the community and other mosques in the locality;

  3. The education of Muslim children both in accordance with the teachings of Quran and Sunnah, and the National Curriculum through the provision of Tuition classes;

  4. The provision of services to the community to include regular events for the elderly and the youth;

  5. Special services for ladies through the provision of dedicated classes on matters religious and secular to include lifestyle, domestic and medical issues;

  6. Special surgeries to provide access for the community to legal, medical, local authority and elected representatives;

  7. Dedicated counselling as required by the community;

  8. Taking the lead on interfaith activities in the London Borough of Croydon;

  9. Conducting a regular liaison with the local authorities for the provision of services to the community;

  10. The staging of regular lectures and Quranic recitation performances by world renowned Qari’s (reciters of the holy Quran).

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Following the pandemic's impact on mosque activities and madrassah closures, CMIC is pleased to report a steady recovery and growth in several key areas of service and support. We are now over the impacts from the pandemic and are moving ahead in a progressive manner.

Madrassah enrolments are now nearing above pre-pandemic levels, with an encouraging rise in income. The increased attendance underscores the value of our educational services within the community.

Our subcontracted tuition for home-schooled students has gained momentum, meeting a growing demand for quality educational support within our community. This initiative has positively impacted both student engagement and community outreach.

The CMIC youth clubs for both boys and girls are now well-subscribed, providing a nurturing and engaging space for young people. This initiative addresses the need for structured, faith-centred activities and has been met with significant interest from families.

During Ramadhan, CMIC provided warm meals to high volumes of refugees, thanks to significant donations. We have also established a weekly soup kitchen to assist the homeless, offering meals on our premises and reflecting CMIC’s commitment to social welfare.

CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

Generous donations this year enabled CMIC to offer additional support for refugee meals during Ramadhan, covering associated costs and enhancing our ability to serve the vulnerable in our community.

The Trustees are grateful for the continued support and dedication shown by CMIC’s community, enabling the mosque to fulfil its mission of compassionate service and support to the local community.

VOLUNTEERS

The Trustees wish to record their appreciation on behalf of the Charity and community for the volunteers who assist in the smooth running of the Charity and are critical in helping to keep the running costs down. No volunteers were remunerated in the year.

TRUSTEES APPOINTMENT

The Trustees are appointed with the approval of the Majlis-e-Shoora as stipulated in the Charity’s Constitution.

Basic guidance is provided to the new Trustees on their responsibilities as defined in the Constitution.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Current and Future Activities

The Charity has continued with the activities as in the previous years, namely the advancement of Islam and related services to the community in the area. With the Phase III build now fully operational, (Women’s and Children Centre), the Charity has increased the capacity to accommodate attendees at the Mosque.

We have started a toddler and mother's session and continue to seek new ideas to encourage meaningful interaction within the local community. We also now host a woman's fitness training session once a week which has much attraction for the local ladies.

FINANCIAL REVIEWS

Financial Review

The financial performance for the year, as detailed on page 9, reflects positive progress, with income and expenditure at satisfactory and healthy levels. Net profit is fairly in line with previous year despite increased attendance at the centre and increased activities both on a regular basis and during special occasions such as Ramdhan.

Madrassah income has increased significantly as student enrolments approach surpass pre-pandemic levels. This growth reflects the community’s renewed confidence and commitment to education at CMIC and has been instrumental in supporting overall income stability.

Additionally, general donations have increased, allowing the mosque to sustain activities despite rising operational costs as we look to expend this additional revenue on community-based initiatives. We are aiming to complete renovation work on the Phase III Wudhu area at a cost of approximately £100k, spend approximately £50k on a ULEZ/LEZ compliant bespoke funeral vehicle and spend an additional £50-£60k on improving the Madrassah teaching capability and enhancements in delivery of teaching.

This year has seen an increase in energy and food costs, wages and salaries, repairs and maintenance and social and community event expenses. These have all resulted in increasing our Ramadhan and general services to the community and with the generous community donations keeping up with these increases has meant we have effectively maintained a stable bottom line with managing well within our means and keeping a healthy cash balance.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

Furthermore, we have installed and safely commissioned a new lift and have renovated one of our investment properties to a very high standard which has enhanced its value for the future. To accommodate these rising expenses, CMIC has proactively upgraded facilities, such as the kitchen, ensuring that services remain effective and meet current needs. The cost of these upgrades and increased operational expenses has been offset by generous community donations, effectively maintaining a stable bottom line.

Youth clubs for boys and girls have been fully functional throughout the year. Their operations, well-subscribed by the community, have been efficiently managed, ensuring that the financial impact on the mosque’s overall income remains neutral.

The centre’s income continues to benefit from public donations and rental income from three investment properties, providing essential support for the mosque’s operations. With the mosque now back to pre-pandemic operations easing of COVID-19 restrictions, full mosque operations resumed, this has leading to an increase in collections and donations compared to the previous years.

The year’s financial health reflects prudent management and the generous support of our community, enabling CMIC to sustain its mission and serve the community effectively.

RESULTS

The results for the year are shown on page 9. The progress during the year and the position at the year-end is considered to be satisfactory.

RISK REVIEW

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and steps have been initiated to minimise the identified risks. All functions of the Charity are subjected to periodic review, resulting in a process of ongoing improvement.

All staffs are trained and have all the required statutory and regulatory clearances required. In addition, all speakers who are allowed a platform at the Charity have due diligence conducted and material vetted prior to addressing the attendees at the Charity.

The Committee remain vigilant and aware of health and safeguarding risks and perform regular reviews of any changes needed to the Mosque to mitigate any risks may pose for its worshippers and visitors.

Additional works for ease of disabled access to the premises continue to be monitored and maintained.

SERIOUS INCIDENTS AND EXCEPTIONS

The Trustees can report that there were no Exceptions recorded, and which gave rise to a need for the Trustees to record on the Charity’s Exceptions’ Register.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year the related party transactions amounted to total donations to Al-Khair Foundation of £29,209 and receipt of sponsorships from Al-Khair Foundation of £7,000, where Shuaib Yusaf is a previous Trustee of the Charity and CEO at Al-Khair Foundation.

CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Croydon Mosque & Islamic Centre (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise of Statement of Financial Activities (including Income & expenditure account), Statement of Financial position and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Based on our understanding of the Charity and its activities, we identified that the principle risk of non-compliance with law and regulations related to the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statements of Recommended Practice, UK tax legislation, pensions legislation, employment regulation and health and safety regulation, anti-bribery, corruption and fraud, money laundering and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

- 13 -

CROYDON MOSQUE & ISLAMIC CENTRE

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 1% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 10% reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 10% reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% reducing balance

Investments

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in profit or loss.

Investment property

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

Investments in associates

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Investments in joint ventures

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Investments in joint ventures (continued)

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
