The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 29 August 2025.

EC aims and objectives are: -
1) To advance education, including education in the Islamic religion and such other courses for the benefit of the community as the trustees shall think fit.
2) To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance

Flexible Learning-There were over twelve hundred students studying the part time short and flexible learning courses.
New Campus
The college moved to its new dedicated campus in Stratford in January 2025. This campus is in the heart of Stratford and will make it easier for on campus students from all over London to attend classes due to Stratford’s transport connectivity. 
Financial Review
Financial Position
Funds in Surplus
The charity received income of £501,591 (2024: £417,993 ) during the year. After outgoing expenses of £479,451(2024: £405,636), the charity was left with a surplus of £22,140 (2024: £12,357) for the year.
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
- An annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity undertakes;
- The establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
- The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimise risk. This year the charity has reviewed the main risk to its viability and operations due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.
The main risks considered this year are;
Qard Hasana (Interest Free) Loans
 The outstanding loan book and debts of Ebrahim College are the main concern for the College as a going concern and its long-term viability. The trustees have been working on a long-term strategy and have plans and strategy in place to repay all outstanding Qard Hasana Loans (currently around £1.03 million) over the next eight years. The trustees are working with these creditors and have set up repayment plans with creditors who have requested urgent repayment of their loans. More repayment plans will be set up with other creditors.
...CONTINUED

Page 3
Risk Management - continued
The trustees no longer use any qard hsan loans for operational costs as the college has been able to meet its operation costs through the activity related income and some fundraising. A new dedicated fundraising initiative will be launched to assist with the repayment of loans. The annual loan repayment target amount has been set at £100,000 for the coming year. Over the next 3 years a total of £300,000.00 is planned to be repaid subject to the trustees raising the target funds. 
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
In April 2003 EC became a company limited by guarantee (number 4740215) governed by its Memorandum and Articles and registered as a charity on 17th February 2005. The overall management of finance is the responsibility of all the Directors/Trustees acting on the recommendations of the College Director and the senior management team. The Trustees and Management Committee meet regularly.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Ebrahim Community College for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ebrahim Community College
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 29 August 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.
