Objectives and activities
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 trustees 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 £107,103 (2022:£33,228)
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 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:

THE MUSLIM YOUTH FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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.
- Improvements to property - 15% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
