THE MUSLIM EDUCATIONAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5!" APRIL 2025 CONTINUATION PAGE
The Trustees decided to discontinue the grants paid to the UK Islamic Association from December 2011 and also to continue the grant paid to Darul Khidmah Wal Falah, UK (DK WF, UK) to be used in Bangladesh. As per Trustees approval on 29/03/2025, the Trust paid DK WF, UK a one-time educational Grant of £6,000 on 13/10/2025 to be used by Darul Khidmah Wal Falah, Bangladesh for Alorpath School, Dhaka in respect of salaries for teachers and support staff (Please refer to Post Balance Sheet Event Note 15).
As advised by the accountant of the Charity, the trustees continued to review the amount of bank deposits held with one bank in consideration of the compensation limits set by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Professor Ghulam Sarwar has been running the Trust on a voluntary basis since 4th January 2010 to December 2021. During the Trustees Annual Meeting held on 29/03/2025, it was agreed to pay Professor Ghulam Sarwar, £100 per month (£1,200 per annum) out of pocket expenses with effect from January 2022, for items such as postage, stationery, use of telephone, travel, computer expenses etc. On 13/10/2025, the Trust paid Professor Ghulam Sarwar, £3,600 out of pocket expenses in respect of the Period January 2022 to December 2024 (Please refer to Post Balance Sheet Event Note 15).
Reserves Policy
As detailed above the Trust receives income through the sale of its publications and through rental income of its property. The operational costs of the charity are met through this income. It has been noted that over the past years the Trust has been arriving at a net deficit position for the accounting year.
The Trustees believe that the level of reserves held should be able to allow the Trust to meet its charitable objectives and also to meet any net deficit position arising and also for any unforeseen risks and contingencies.
At the Year Ended 5" April 2025 the total unrestricted reserves held amounted to £258,057. This level of reserves has been built up from the sale proceeds derived in 2008 from the property situated at 48 Lancaster Road, London, N4. The Trustees undertake to maintain this level of reserves which has been decreasing each year in order to meet yearly operating activities and expenses. The Trustees confirm that utilising these sale proceeds against operating costs of the charity is permitted in their governing documents.
The level of reserves required and the reserves policy will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Trustees. The Trust is considering ways to increase its sales income from the sale of publications of its books and journals. The amount held in reserves is monitored regularly by the Trustees during each financial year.
Coronavirus
During the year under review, the Charity’s work was impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic apart from the global slowdownofthe Islamic publications market. However, the trustees are conscious of their responsibilities and have been doing their best to keep the charity running, meeting the educational needs of the Muslim community despite sustaining losses over the years. Please also refer to Note 1 of the Accounts with regard to the Trustees assessment of going concern.
