BOLTON COUNCIL OF MOSQUES

The advancement of the Islamic religion by encouraging the establishing and maintenance of Mosques. The promotion of racial and religious harmony between Muslims and non-Muslims in order to foster mutual understanding and toleration. The promotion of such other charitable purposes particular for the benefit of the Muslim Community as the trustees think fit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
