MUSLIM KHUMBAR COMMUNITY TRUST (MKCT) For the Y/E 31 December '2024 Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December '2024

Introduction

As Trustees of MKCT, we are pleased to present our annual report, highlighting our efforts in preserving our cultural heritage and supporting humanitarian causes in this financial year. Our work continues to enrich the community by fostering an appreciation for our cultural and religious traditions and by preserving and instilling these values in the next generation of our community. In alignment with our faith and cultural values, we respond to our community's call to address urgent humanitarian needs wherever we can in accordance with our charity’s aims and objectives.

Structure, Governance, and Management

MKCT operates as a registered charity under its constitution, adopted on 4th February 1971. The Board of Trustees currently consists of 4 members including the Chair of Trustees and Vice Chair (rotating), together with the Secretary and Treasurer they are known as the Committee. The Management Committee meets regularly to review its mandated activities on an annual basis to set the strategic direction, oversee governance and Management financial management, ensuring the charity’s resources are used to further its objectives.

Below the Management Committee sits the Executive Team who are volunteers that share in the charity’s vision and are heavily invested in the future success of the charity. The Executive Team is tasked with executing the necessary actions and are encouraged to develop their future potential through practical involvement in delivery of charitable events and initiatives as decided by the Management Committee. The Executive Team is often part of Management Committee meetings at the discretion of the Trustees. The Trustees carry the responsibility for the charity's overall compliance and effective stewardship of its assets.

Objectives and Activities

The primary objectives of MKCT are:

To preserve and promote the cultural heritage, including traditions, language, and special occasions in

alignment with the Islamic faith.

To support humanitarian initiatives that address immediate community needs, such as providing relief to

those affected by poverty or emergencies.

This year, our main activities included:

Cultural/Religious Programs: The organising and executing of our usual annual religious/cultural events throughout the year, marking important religious occasions such as Eid, Muharram and Mawlid among other events for the benefit of the community.
Heritage Preservation: Through partnerships we created awareness and provided financial assistance to help support urgent needs within Uganda, a country our community have a strong cultural affinity with, as many of our community members originate from this region.
Humanitarian Support: In response to the tragedy faced by people in the middle east during Q4, we carried out a fundraising programme to provide much needed emergency aid to the families facing extreme hardship and suffering during this tragic situation.

Achievements and Performance

Key achievements this year include:

Mt. Snowdon Fundraising Challenge : Raised over £65,000 for Palestine, providing emergency food, medical aid, Ramadan hot meals, and household food packs through our partner charity Global Relief Trust. Uganda Ramadan Iftar & Food Packs Appeal: Raised £10,421, including £6,949 for essential food packs, supporting daily Iftar and food aid via Al Aribi Foundation in Kampala.
Community Engagement: Increased volunteer participation and social media outreach strengthened awareness and involvement in cultural and humanitarian activities.

MUSLIM KHUMBAR COMMUNITY TRUST (MKCT) For the Y/E 31 December '2024

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of MUSLIM KHUMBAR COMMUNITY TRUST (MKCT)

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December '2024, which are set out on pages 5-9

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2015 (the 2015 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

· examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2015 Act);

· to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2015 Act); and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiners report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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 the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

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 2015 Act; and

· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2015 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.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS/Going concern

In view of the financial performance and the reserves position as at the balance sheet date, the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will have the resources to continue in operational to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees believe there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the ability to continue as a going concern.

The annual financial statements have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.
