The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Muslim Youth Foundation was established in 1983 by a group of academics and business people to promote Islam to both Muslims and Non-Muslims. The objectives of the trust are to advance the religion of Islam and the teachings of Islamic education. In setting objectives and planning activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to Charity Commission's guidelines of public benefit. The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the topic is regularly discussed at trustees' meetings. 

The Muslim Youth Foundation is a place of worship, a mosque with approximately 600 people attending Jumah (Friday congregational prayer) and over 200 people daily for other prayers. The congregation is from many different ethnic backgrounds, Arab, Pakistani, Bengali, White, African, Malaysian etc. The people who attend the MYF include students, professionals and others working in the City Centre. The MYF was one of the pioneers in the UK in using the English language as its medium for all its programmes including the Friday Khutbah (sermon) as part of the Jumah Salah (Friday congregational prayer). Initially, the focus was the development of the Muslim youth through various educational, social and spiritual programmes, including national youth camps with many of these youth going on to becoming active in the wider Muslim community. 

Now, the MYF has various projects and services related to the fields of education, social welfare, and culture. As well as the mosque, there are regular adult education programmes such as lectures and seminars and weekly study circle. The MYF also works with schools. There are visits to the mosque by trainee teachers plus schools. The MYF also works with children in Bosnia funding educational, cultural and sports programmes. Another programme of the MYF is providing a rota of Khateeds (Islamic preachers) to local universities prayer halls, 2 mosques and a hospital for the congregational Friday prayer. 

The MYF is used as a resource by the community hosting various activities such as weekly talk on Islam, weekly fitness classes for women, occasional programmes for a Muslim Deaf Group. The MYF regularly has collections for various relief agencies. 

When planning activities for the year, the trustess have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievement and performance** 

Over the last year, the Muslim Youth Foundation has been cooperating with partnerships such as the local interfaith organisation and university and working its various projects which were developed to be more professional. These projects include developing magazines and holding regular educational activities such as lectures and seminars. 

## **Financial review** 

The trust received its income from a variety of sources which were mainly individual donations of £44,529 (2020: £39,682) 

## **Future plans** 

The MYF plans to further develop its project and services to higher quality. It also intends to develop  partnerships with other organisations including the delivery of multi cultural awareness courses. Plans include more work within the schools through interfaith project and MYF is developing the second phase of an educational magazine for schools together with DVD for deaf people. There are plans to extend the counselling service and MYF also intends to explore different options of funding to enable further developments of its projects and services. The MYF will also embark on a further regeneration project to refurbish its premises.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MUSLIM YOUTH FOUNDATION** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Muslim Youth Foundation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Muslim Youth Foundation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which  attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity has  entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty or receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Gifts in kind for distribution are included in the accounts as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed at their approximate market value at the date of distribution. 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. 

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable. 

Income tax recoverable under the Gift Aid Scheme is recognised where there is an entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

Expenditure on grants is recorded once the trust has made an unconditional commitment to pay the grant and this is communicated to the beneficiary or the grant has been paid, whichever is earlier. 

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity  and include project management. 

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
