Charity Commission announces statutory inquiry into Jamia Hanfia Ghosia Mosque

The charity was established to promote the Islamic religion and operates in Burton-on-Trent.The regulator has been in contact with the trustees since March 2020 in efforts to address regulatory concerns and resolve a dispute about whether the current trustees were validly appointed. The ongoing dispute has had a negative impact on the charity’s governance and administration and its beneficiaries and has resulted in many members of the community not accessing the charity’s services.The Commission issued the charity with an action plan which outlined the timeframe and steps required to ensure an election was held by 31 March 2023.
