REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FORTHE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

OUR SERVICES FOR YOU IN 2016 The Trustees routinely review the activities of GLMCC to ensure they continue to reflect the objectives and aims of the charity and provide an overall benefit to the public. In carrying out this review the Trustees continue to consider the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT A GLANCE: Fundamental to Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre is the worshipping of Allah Almighty, the Lord of the Worlds. GLMCC is proud of its wide range of religious services.

Prayer Facilities: GLMCC is open for congregational prayers every day of the year. The five daily prayers, Friday prayers and Tarawih prayers during Ramadan helped thousands of Muslims within the local community and beyond fulfil a fundamental obligation within the Islamic faith.

This last year saw the completion of a prodigious refurbishment of the prayer facilities, washing facilities, lobbies and roof. Improving the facilities for the service users, was of paramount importance. Underfloor heating, glass bi-folding doors, TV Screens, lighting, modern washing facilities, and the main focal point of the Masjid, the Mihrab and Mimbar were all redesigned and modernised. This has created a more comfortable, accessible and welcoming place of prayer.

Ramadan: The month of Ramadan was, as is every year, the most eventful time in the GLMCC calendar. Thousands partake in prayers each night. Meals to break the fast (iftar) were provided every evening and breakfast (suhoor) was provided in the last ten nights.

The prayers were accompanied by beneficial reminders, short lectures and opportunities for the congregation to donate towards various causes. I'tikaf (seclusion) was again offered in 2016 (40 people across the UK) for those who wished to dedicate their time to worship.

Eid: Our flagship event of the year is Eid in the Park celebrating the important festival of Eid ul-Fitr marking the end of the month of Ramadan. Eid in the Park 2016 was attended by over 88,000 congregants who joined the prayer, many of whom attended the day-long activities on offer in the park, including a funfair, Animal Man, a host of food outlets as well as stalls and other activities. The event is the largest of its kind in Western Europe and received extensive press, TV and radio coverage by local, national and international news agencies. The event continues to grow year on year and we are grateful to our partners, including Birmingham City Council, West Midlands Police as well as our sponsors Human Appeal.

Structured classes: Education and training has always been a priority at GLMCC. Making good use of our floor space resource, GLMCC can hold general classes for the duration of the day, at night, both weekday and weekends, including languages and different Islamic education courses for all levels.

GLMCC, as a pioneer in religious education and propagation, held a series of popular structured classes. Education is vital in building a self-assured Muslim community who add to the more extensive society as well as grasp their British personality.

Madrasah Salafiyyah ~ Evening Supplementary School: Madrasah Salafiyyah, an evening school during the week aimed at educating Muslim children in the fundamentals of the Islamic faith, continues to grow from strength to strength. The number of classes held and the length of the waiting lists pay testimony to the reputation and quality of the teaching.

The continuous development ofthe core curriculum has provided the pupils with a learning technique, which they are already accustomed to through their secular education at school.

The approach to learning incorporated Islamic Studies, Hifdh (memorisation) and Qur'an recitation into a comprehensive syllabus designed for each age group, has been a huge success. All staff are subject to a rigorous training and development programme that takes place every other Friday evening to ensure that they are up to date with latest social, teaching and engagement techniques, as well as being up-to-date with child protection, safeguarding and other compliance obligations.

Each month the madrasah holds separate 'chill out days' for pupils that have been recognised by their teachers for their hard work, enthusiasm and excelling in a number of areas.

With the implementation of the pure Hifdh (memorisation) programme, 2016 saw 6 students complete the memorisation ofthe whole Qur'an.

The end of 2016 witnessed a spectacular Celebration Ceremony, an evening of awards, certificates and trophies for an impressive number of students for their achievements.

New Muslims Support - GLMCC and Islamwise:

GLMCC in conjunction with Islamwise work hard to support and help people that have embraced Islam. Islamwise is an independent team, that work to facilitate the transition of a New Muslim into the Muslim community. The comprehensive model Islamwise have created focused on the following objectives:

School Visits:

Due to popular demand GLMCC continued to host its bi-monthly school visits. School children enjoyed a two-hour session exploring the masjid, learning basic concepts of the Islamic faith. They also enjoyed small treats iike colouring books and sweets.

The success of these visits is transparent, with some schools incorporating the visit to GLMCC into their Religious Education syllabus.

Looking forward, GLMCC has schools booked to visit in 2017 and we hope to build stronger relationships with more schools across Birmingham.

SOCIAL WELFARE:

Social Welfare continues to be one ofthe fastest growing departments at GLMCC. Community services are offered to provide individual and social wellbeing. In 2016 GLMCC saw the Social Welfare department flourish in all areas.

Is Anyone There? - Counselling and Mentoring Service: Is Anyone There continues to be a popular service with people seeking advice, guidance and much needed support. Is Anyone There counselling service differentiates itself from other counselling service providers because it takes a unique approach to mental well-being. Emotional / psychological and spiritual support do not need to be addressed separately; they can be treated collectively so an individual may benefit from all approaches. Non spiritual or religious counselling such as stress management, or abuse can incorporate all aspects of mental health and well-being using trained counselling personnel.

The free service has continued effortlessly to provide a non-judgemental and approachable support service.

Knife Bank: In an effort to keep the streets of Birmingham safe and free from crime, GLMCC teamed up with Birmingham Empowerment Forum to place a Knife Bank in the GLMCC car park. This bin is located in a prominent position where people can dispose of weapons in a safe manner. This bin is safely and securely emptied by the Birmingham Empowerment Forum team twice a year, along with a designated representative at GLMCC and the contents are then disposed of safely.

Zakah Service: Zakah, unlike any other Sadaqah (charity), is an obligatory form of worship. Like Salah (prayer) it has conditions which must be met, responsibilities which must be discharged and crucially - to have the correct intention of undertaking this great act of worship. If a person has saved up money above a certain amount, and a whole year passes, he / she must pay 2.5% ofthis in Zakah. At GLMCC we provide a Zakah service that has enabled Muslims to fulfil this obligation. We encouraged Muslims to give locally to aid locally as per prophetic tradition. GLMCC has been holding a Zakah service since 2011.

The majority ofthis money has been given to local people, and sometimes we receive cases nationally who we are obliged to help and assist. In short, GLMCC collects Zakah funds, processes applications and distributes to those eligible to receive Zakah.

GLMCC also works with external organisations based in the UK and abroad which are specifically setup as Zakah services, and with other charity organisations. GLMCC works with these service provides to refer cases, to receive financial support specific to Zakah, or to distribute Zakah that GLMCC has received as part of the Zakah process. \

People want to give to their own communities so GLMCC has a dedicated and committed team to ensure that we are providing a first-rate service that is also carrying out its duties responsibly.

GLMCC, working with the Department for Work and Pensions to help local people get back into work. This free service is delivered weekly by a professional DWP Advisor offering support with CV building, job searches, interview preparation and planning, careers advice service, training workshops, benefits advice and supporting self-employed people. Our aim has been to improve the quality of living standards of our community by offering services, which develop individuals in all spheres of their lives. Job Club has seen a steady increase in people using the service.

Coffee Morning: Social activities at GLMCC is imperative to strengthening community spirit.

Our Coffee Morning provided a relaxed socialising environment for women. Furthermore, it enabled women to get involved in other areas of the Masjid. Over the last year those who have attended baked cakes, delivered workshops and seminars using their own skills and experience such as general health checks, diabetes awareness, crochet and knitting. This has provided a regular time to relax, unwind and get creative. In 2016 Coffee Morning volunteers also introduced Story Corner for the kids where each week a story is read out to all the children. The vision for 2017 is to introduce a social hour for men too.

IVIorning Pure Match - Matrimonial Service: Pure Match Introductory Marriage Service was setup by GLMCC as a response to demand from our community. Marriage is a challenging process so Green Lane Masjid has arranged an on-line introductory service where an individual may register his or her details and search user profiles for a suitable match.

With over 6000 users the service demands have increased over the last year. GLMCC has a plan for a complete website change and relaunch starting in 2017 in an attempt to improve the service for its users.

GLMFS - Green Lane Masjid Funeral Service: The Green Lane Masjid Funeral Service (GLMFS) provides a necessary service to the Muslims of our community. The funeral service was initially setup to provide burial advice and support. GLMFS offers a full funeral package with guidelines from the designated GLMFS team, who are on hand to help and support with:

• How to arrange a funeral • What to do when somebody passes away • Who to contact • Ghusl (washing) and Shroud workshops • Training to become a Ghusl and Shroud Facilitator • Bereavement Counselling • Funeral Guidance Literature • Ghusl/Wash-Where the body ofthe deceased is washed. • Shroud - Material that is used to shroud deceased. • Storage room - Refrigerated storage chamber to accommodate 6 bodies. • Relatives room - A small room where immediate family members may wait. • Associated administration office and storage facilities. • Coffins and Caskets. • Private Ambulance - For transportation of the deceased.

13



The expanding congregation and therefore demand has led to GLMCC providing a service that strictly adheres to the rules and regulations of the local council and in accordance with authentic guidelines stipulated in Islam.

Imam Question and Answer Service: We have a regular Q & A service where our Imams are ready to answer and/or advise on Islamic questions/matters. The service is either through face to face meetings, via telephone or email. These enabled users to have direct access to qualified people pertaining to religious questions/matters. On average throughout 2016, Imams were dealing with 30 calls and 12 emails per week.

TFGLM -Taskforce Green Lane Masjid - Humanitarian Relief: Taskforce Green Lane Masjid are the humanitarian team that identify areas most in need of aid. Working in partnership with humanitarian charities, Taskforce GLM will undertake activities, which not only deliver aid, but also empower local people to support themselves over a longer period.

Throughout 2016 Taskforce GLM worked tirelessly to raise funds to aid projects both nationally and internationally.

Donations were raised through various means and a huge £1.2 Million was raised. TFGLM held a number of events throughout the year, to raise funds for humanitarian relief and each event and fundraising opportunity was a great success. Events included fundraisers in GLMCC, Charity Dinners, Cake Sales, and Food Stalls afterthe Friday prayer.

The events held by TFGLM proved very popular and the response left GLMCC very humbled by the community spirit and compassion shown. Whilst this is an essential service to those suffering overseas, this service provides a necessary and practical opportunity for those who wish to participate and help the affected people in disaster zones such as Syria. This is a transparent, reliable and effective service helping those in need and thus allows people to channel their efforts through correct sources and avoid the danger of attempting to get involved in travelling to conflict zones and getting involved with the wrong people and ending up in trouble.

Snowden Challenge: October 2016 was a height of success with the challenge to climb Mount Snowden in Wales. Snowden being set 3,560ft above sea level a team of GLMCC staff, volunteers and the congregation went out on a mission to climb to the top to raise money for the TFGLM Syria Bread Project.

The turnout was fantastic and the spirit amongst everyone was vibrant. Teams working together, encouraging each other, persevering and finally reaching the peak! Remembering how fortunate we are, being grateful for everything we have and being inspired by others tp always do better.

Bread Distribution: Task Force GLM and Human Appeal distributing bread to the Syrian Refugees in a camp that is located at the top of a mountain in a remote area which is very difficult for the charities to get to, however with our partner charity Human Appeal we are able to get bread to these people all year round.

Ride for Syria: A 50mile bike ride in Birmingham for Syria Bread Project took place in 2016 with fantastic results. Those that took part had great fun and enjoyed doing something active to raise money for charity.

15



Winter Project:

Aid trip to Lebanon

Distribution of Winter Clothing

£100,000 raised.

o TFGLM started a new Emergency Winter Appeal in 2016, with the aim of providing winter clothing to 25 Syrian refugee camps in Lebanon. Although the appeal is still on going, the response so far has been overwhelming. The TFGLM volunteers visited the camp to distribute items such as coats, hats, gloves and scarves.

Cakes 4 Syria: A seasonal favourite where people get the chance to give money to charity. Cakes are sold via social media and a website and donors purchase the cakes and the money is then donated to the Syria Bread project. TFGLM use a dedicated network of unpaid volunteers and partners who work tirelessly to hand deliver the cakes anywhere within the West Midlands. The total amount raised through this initiative was £18,000.

Volunteers: Since its establishment in 1979, the volunteers at GLMCC have been the backbone. Many of the services that we operate today are staffed by people who are volunteers. The various teams require different skills and experience therefore all of our volunteers bring something new to the organisation. We value the contribution of all individuals irrespective of age, skills, background or experience. Each role is different and as such every volunteer is different.

2016 saw an influx of core volunteers that were ready to give time to GLMCC whenever needed. We also saw an increase in people wanting to volunteer at various events throughout the year. Volunteer meetings and development meetings took place in 2016 ahead of big events. They were rewarded for their level of commitment and hard work with a volunteer's meal and retreat. The commitment of volunteers remains unparalleled and all have worked tirelessly throughout the year empowering GLMCC further.

Ali have worked tirelessly throughout the year Empowering GLMCC further.

At Young Ummah our vision is to reach out to the youth, promoting a true Islam, educating them and inspiring them. Young Ummah provide a dynamic approach in attracting the youth towards the Masjid and this is why we take a lot of time and effort in planning what topics and skills would be most appealing to them as well as what knowledge and skills they will need and hence take away with them so as they could truly appreciate being ideal Muslims in today's society.

GREEN LANE MASJID REFURBISHMENT Extensive refurbishment work has been undertaken at GLMCC to upgrade the Wudhu and Prayer facilities for the benefit ofthe congregation.

Entrance Lobbies The men's entrance lobby has been extended to increase space and flow of people especially during peak times. The works carried out in the lobby area include:

An extension to the lobby area increasing capacity

Introduction of extra entrances to the exterior as well as from the lobby into the Masjid

New doors and windows, allowing more natural light and ventilation to the area, and improved insulation in

the winter months

Introduction of underfloor heating, which is far more effective in heating the area and also helps with heating

the floor during wet days. Increased shelving for shoes and a nicer tiled finish to the floors and wall which is

easier to keep clean in one ofthe heaviest used areas in the masjid.

The sisters have also benefitted from increased space for shoe storage, new doors and windows and a nice

finish.

New LED lighting has also been introduced to make the area a brighter place which is hugely cheaper to run.

A dedicated seating area for sisters who find it difficult to climb the stairs to the 1 s t floor has been introduced

next to the lobby entrance, which has seating for approximately 20 sisters which is connected by audio and

video by means of a TV screen which enable sisters to see the speaker during Friday Khutbahs as well as other

programmes.

New Wudhu Facilities The previous wudhu facilities suffered from numerous problems including defective drainage resulting in foul smells and blockages. Inadequate ventilation and poor flooring which caused standing water and slippery surfaces. Problems also existed with the restricted water flow, which on occasions resulted in loss of water supply to taps, especially at peak times.

The entire wudhu facility was completely gutted out and new works included:

• Complete brand new drains installed

• Underfloor heating

• New boiler and hot and cold water tanks

• Ventilation System

• New toilet cubicles

• New sanitary ware

• New wudhu troughs and free-standing wudhu stations

• New sinks

• New LED lighting

• New doors, windows and roof lights

• New tiling and redecoration throughout

• New disabled toilet and shower

These works resulted in a brand new wudhu facility for both men and women. 30% increase in WCs for brothers, more wudhu place especially with the introduction of the new free-standing wudhu troughs. The underfloor heating helps in keeping the floor dry and no standing water. The sisters previously only had 3 WCs. Now they have 12 toilets and more sinks, wudhu troughs and a baby changing facility.

Additionally, it is a cleaner, better, brighter and more spacious facility with more efficient heating and lighting.

20



Masjid Prayer Halls Refurbishment works have included the following:

1. Complete replacement of the roof including the masjid, offices, boiler house and the Imams flat. Roof insulation has been added to improve efficiency.

2. Installation of new double glazed aluminium windows throughout the prayer halls improving insulation in winter and better ventilation in the summer months with larger opening windows.

3. New bi-fold doors to the men's prayer hall to improve heat insulation and also aid in air circulation in the summer months.

4. New internal doors to improve security and reduced maintenance costs on the internal partition doors. The glass doors also create a brighter, more open space

5. New underfloor heating in the men's prayer hall which distributes the heat more evenly and efficient in running costs too. New replacement radiators and new boilers have also been fitted for the new heating system

6. A new glass balcony wall in the sisters' area for a lighter and brighter area 7. Installation of a new sound system as the old system was over 15 years old and overloaded by the

increased number of speakers connected to it. New speakers were fitted throughout the Masjid. 8. New LED lighting system throughout the prayer halls with brighter light and a hugely reduced running costs. 9. New TV screens in the rear prayer hall as well as the sisters' prayer hall enabling view ofthe speaker during

Jummah prayers and at events. 10. A new modern Mihrab and Mimbar have been installed which has better central positioning for the

khateeb enabling more o f the congregation to see the khateeb in Jummah Prayers. The modern design is more in keeping with the rest ofthe decor.

11. Redecoration of all walls and timberworks.

All in all, the new wudhu & prayer facilities provide a far nicer area for the congregation with efficient amount of brighter lighting as well as natural light and protected from leaks and loss of heat for many years to come in sha' Allaah.

First and foremost, we thank Allaah (SWT) for enabling us to complete these works. We ask Allaah (SWT) to continue rewarding each and every one of you who have generously contributed to the refurbishment works. We also thank the GLM team of staff and volunteers who have worked tirelessly for long hours to make this happen.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND EVENTS Celebrate Eid 2016: Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha Eid in the park 2016 was a phenomenal success. Congregants joined the prayer and people enjoyed the festivities throughout the day. The Eid prayer was the largest hosted in Europe. Held in Small Heath park with a host of activities available, suitable for the diverse age groups.

A valuable collaboration with various masaajid (mosques) within the community, getting together, planning a bigger better event than the previous year.

The Salah (Prayer) was the highlight and inspiration of the outdoor event. The event saw an increase of almost 20% from the year before. The prayer was an amazing spectacle bringing together over a third of Birmingham's Muslim population.

The festivities were a main attraction for the event incorporating more family fun including mini golf, rodeo bull and a larger selection of soft play. The sheer number of people in the fun fair area post-closing time showed how the festivities added to the experience of the day. The bazaar, particularly the diverse range of food that added to the festival atmosphere.

It was an opportunity to showcase the importance of Eid to the greater population. The reporting coverage was a marked success with an audience reach spanning over 19.3 million people.

The dedication of the staff and volunteers from initiation to derig cannot be understated. The effort put into events of this magnitude requires perseverance, diligence and commitment.

Annual Winter Conference 2016:

Over 4000 Attendees

4 day

Guest Speakers

Conference

GLMCC opened its doors to the Annual Winter Conference in 2016 with some highly esteemed scholars. One of the biggest events outside of Ramadhan and Eid, the conference was attended by over 4000 people during the winter break. Families enjoyed lectures and small talks on the status, virtues and achievements of the companions of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

The event, open to all had a designated creche area where parents were able to take their children to play with soft toys and enjoy the arts and crafts table. Food was prepared and sold on site to raise money for GLMCC. A tuck shop was everyone's favourite selling an array of sweet nibbles.

GLMCC provided free overnight stay in the Masjid (mosque) for those that had travelled from outside of Birmingham. With over 200 men and over 150 women and children using this facility.

The guest speakers included; Shaykh Dr Sa'd al-Shithry, Shaykh Dr Abdul Azeez AI Sadhan, Shaykh Dr Hamad Al Tuwaijiri, Shaykh Hasan Rashid and Shaykh Sulayman al-Hudayb.

Genius of Umar - with Shaykh Adnan Abdul Qadir: GLMCC was again honoured to host a well-known guest of GLMCC and a prominent feature in GLMCC's calendar. The seminar focussed on the concept of Allah (God) in Islam and what His names and attributes mean to a Muslim.

23



Live Tajweed - with Shaykh Mishary Rashid: One of the world's most famous reciters of the Qur'an Shaykh Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy delivered a live Tajweed (correct pronunciation during recitation ofthe Qur'an) course for the congregation of GLMCC.

The course also had a practical lesson on how to perfect our recitation.

The event was a huge success with people travelling from all over the UK to attend. Thousands turned up for the Live course and the feedback from staff, volunteers and the congregation was phenomenal.

Unlocking the Treasures of the Qur'an - with Shaykh Abdullah Ash- Shanqitee: Shaykh Abdullah Ash-Shanqitee, visited GLMCC in 2016. The Shaykh, a favourite of GLMCC currently teaches in the Masjid (mosque) of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). The topic focussed on the importance of the Qur'an and the treasures found within it.

The event was very popular and people turned out in their thousands to learn in a comfortable, relaxed environment.

Shaykh Dr Abdurahman As- Sudais:

Another highlight of 2016 was a visit by the Chief Imam of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, Shaykh Abdur Rahman As-Sudais led the evening prayer and gave a short but very beneficial talk, regarding representing the true Islam in the best possible way.

This was an extremely popular event; we were unable to accommodate all that wished to attend as the mosque was full to capacity.

24



THE YEAR AHEAD - 2017 This last year most definitely was the year of change for GLMCC and plans for the future of GLMCC are essential in keeping the organisation focused and to ensure goals and objectives are realistic and are met.

GLMCC expects to maintain its existing range of faith and community activities whilst improving on areas identified for further developments.

Scouts: 2016 has seen much planning and preparation forthe launch of Scouts in early 2017.

As part of the UK's biggest mixed youth organisation, the new scout group coming to GLMCC will change lives by offering 6 to 18 year-olds' fun and challenging activities, unique experiences, everyday adventure and the chance to help others so that they make a positive impact in our community.

Scouts helps children and young adults reach their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment.

Outreach: We at GLMCC believe it is key to provide services to populations who might not otherwise have access to these services. The key to successful services is outreach, providing a service that is not stationary but a service that reaches out to the masses. 2017 will see services taken to the people where they need it most and each service will be thoroughly researched, selected and planned according to the need.

We believe this will empower GLMCC to fortify its conveyance through utilising its Islamic ethos to profit Muslims and Non-Muslims.

Seniors Club: In an effort to bring recreation and well-being to older people GLMCC is working hard on its very own Seniors Club. Our aim is to have an informal and welcoming environment, where seniors can come and enjoy good company and get involved in a variety of activities that is designed to break isolation, help strengthen and stimulate the emotional, social, intellectual and physical health of our seniors.

GLMCC hopes to establish a vibrant drop in and activity area and are looking at the possibility of physical activity, workshops, counselling and transport infrastructure, allowing greater access to those wishing to benefit. From this we aim to promote independence and social integration.

TFGLM - Task Force Green Lane Masjid: TFGLM are consistently researching and documenting the needs of people all over the world. One of the many aims of TFGLM is to help alleviate poverty and suffering of people wherever they may be. 2017 will see the discussion, planning and launch of a new project that will focus on helping as many people as possible.

TFGLM will also continue in its efforts with the recently launched Emergency Winter Appeal throughout 2017. Hoping and striving to reach more and more people and to impact as many lives as possible.

Celebrate Eid 2017: After the monumental success of 2016, work for Celebrate Eid 2017 started many months ago. Our aim is to have a bigger and better Celebrate Eid event, attracting everyone from far and wide. A community event for all, regardless of ethnicity or religion, a place for family and friends and community cohesion.

A much needed platform for all to stand united and come closer together as a society.

New GLMCC Website: 2017 will see the launch of a new website, which will see the addition of a variety of new features, designed for users to make the most out of the services available.

25



NEW STRATEGY AND VISION - 2017 GLMCC adheres to the Islamic approach consistent with the understanding of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him), his family, companions and all those that followed them. This is core in all our activities, engagement and functions. This very ethos is built into every aspect of GLMCC from start to finish and is built into all processes and procedures. The aim is to build a centre which uses the moral guidelines of Islam to benefit the entire society.

A pioneering centre of excellence which has inspired, guided and enriched the lives of all people and developed the next generation of exemplary Muslims who contribute to British society and make a positive global impact

GLMCC intends to expand, improve and develop on all its current services, programmes and activities. Our focus is to educate, inspire and serve which will help us bridge gaps, increase understanding and tolerance and improve community relations.

A new organisational structure and strategy in 2017, will enable excellent delivery of services to as many people as possible and will also help in building internal departments to carry out work.

Our vision for the future is simple, inspire Islamic Faith in the hearts of people.

Our vision highlights our wish for everyone to learn and seek knowledge about true Islam.

We have no doubt that the support from the community will proceed, and with this we sincerely believe GLMCC will exceed its goals and targets. GLMCC stays committed to reviewing its services and activities and remove any obstacles from them.

We the Trustees would like to thank every one of the individuals who have contributed their time and riches in helping the GLMCC accomplish its objectives so far.

New Trustees also meet key employees and other Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

27



FINANCIAL REVIEW Investment policv and performance

GLMCC has various purpose-built rooms accessible to let with shared kitchen and WC. This is solely aimed at single males. Every so often, GLMCC procures out its Community Hall and different regions of the site. Rental income from these facilities for the period added up to £35,299 (2015: £33,795) and was utilised to subsidise the charities activities.

Principal funding sources The charity's main source of income is voluntary donations. During the year £2,339,597 (2015 - £1,686,034) was raised through such donations. Ofthis source of income, £1,717,940 (2015: £1,169,393) were restricted funds to be applied for in specific areas of the charity's work. Details of the restricted funds and their purpose can be found in note 19 to the financial statements.

Reserves policv Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre recognises the importance of having reserves. These funds are freely available to spend on any ofthe charity's purposes - and hence exclude restricted funds. They will be used to mitigate significant falls in income or to take advantage of new opportunities.

Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre faces a number of risks that may result in the need to use the charity's reserves. Some of these include:

- Reduction in donations from congregation / members of the public. - Unexpected refurbishment costs in relation to the listed building from which the charity operates. - External factors impacting the charity, such as National Living Wage increases or increasing utility bills.

Green Lane Masjid and Community has set its reserves at £120,000. This covers approximately four month's operational expenditure. It is the Trustees view that this amount means the charity has a balanced approach between having funds available to run the charity on a day to day basis and keeping funds aside in case any of the risks mentioned above materialise The Trustees also believe this level of reserves provides the charity with adequate financial stability and the means to meet its charitable objectives for the future.

The level of reserves will be reviewed annually to ensure alignment with risks the charity faces. They will be kept in a bank account that does not have bills / expenditure paid from it. Reserves will only be used with prior agreement from Board of Trustees via agreement in a trustees meeting.

Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they have continued to adopt the going concern basis concept in preparing the financial statements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
