Management Committee Summary
This is the third report since the appointment of trustees by the members of the Centre on 22"d September 2019. This report contains the Centre's financial activities starting from 1[st] January 2022 to 31[st] December 2022. This was prepared for submission to the Charity Commission.
Due to the conflict and unforeseen during the COVID-19 national closer of all religious premises the custodian trustees and their supporters had forcefully taken control of the charity since 1 July 2020 and kept all elected trustees out from any activities in that premises.
With the suggestion from the Charity Commission and on recommendation from Hertfordshire Constabulary and local authority the board of trustees have tried all possible revenue for mediation but failed.
On recommendation from the High Court the board of trustees had no other choice to resolve this issue rather than legal proceeding.
On 4[th] October 2022 the High Court ordered the custodian trustees and interim management to transfer all belongings of this charity to those elected trustees by 4pm on 12[th] October 2022 and elected trustees has been in control of running the charity since 12[th] October 2022.
As the charity has been running by the interim management during 2022.
This account is submitted with the base of information provided by the interim management. Once everything has been scrutinized, we will update the information to the Charity Commission accordingly.
JAZAKALLAHU KHAIRAN FOR YOUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT.

Incoming resources from grants, where there are performances or services deliverables required by the terms of the grant, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to payment through its performance. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided are in the nature of professional services where a fee would otherwise be charged, in which the donated service is valued at their chargeable rate. Investment income is included when receivable. Incoming resources from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned.
