We could not have anticipated at the time that we would be now be living under the third national lockdown in the UK or indeed be facing up to just how devastating a toll the Covid-19 pandemic has taken on the UK population. And we are not out of the woods just yet. With the number of deaths continuing to rise and projections that things will get worse before they start to get better, the past several months since we launched our latest inquiry have been unpredictable to say the least. And yet, despite the difficult days we have lived through and the further hardships ahead, we are now beginning to see the fruits of the massive Covid-19 vaccination programme amid the utmost determination to turn the corner in our fight against Covid-19. We can, with a sober note of optimism and hope, begin to imagine days ahead when our mobility and lifestyles are not subject to such punitive restrictions. It is in this light that we present the findings of our latest report, Rising to the Challenge, because when these days of hardship have passed, we hope the spirit of community care, charity and concern for the elderly witnessed throughout these dark times will remind us of the contributions made by British Muslims during the pandemic and drive forward new initiatives to ensure that our faith-based civil society organisations can flourish in the future. We have seen communities across the country rise to the challenge The global pandemic brought on by Covid-19 has presented our national and global institutions with extraordinary challenges. The scale of transmission, serious infection, death and strained recovery from Covid-19 has caught governments and societies across the globe unawares. The UK has been no exception to the changes to lifestyles, economy and society that we have witnessed over the past year. Nationwide lockdowns which would be anathema to free societies under usual conditions have been endured to protect lives, stop the spread of infection and save the National Health Service. The national economy was forced into a periods of suspension as employers and employees have grappled with the implications of restrictions on movement and travel under lockdown; restrictions that continue to impact jobs and livelihoods in our communities. And our Page 4 • Rising to the Challenge social lives, normally abuzz with the best that the UK’s fund food deliveries; domestic abuse helplines for theatre, cinema and restaurant scenes have to offer, women at acute risk of violence in the home; pop-up have all been severely curtailed as measures adopted mortuaries to shelter the deceased and offer families to reverse community transmission have meant the some assurance that their loved ones will be buried shutting down of hospitality venues and non-essential with dignity and in accordance with religious rites; shops.

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities
    Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities Introduction This guide addresses examining tax exempt organization fundraising and provides: Background information Audit guidelines Audit techniques Audit procedures This guide is not all-inclusive and doesn’t intend to limit agents to identifying issues or using techniques not listed in this guide. For information on fundraising issues involving political organizations, see the Audit Technique Guide for Political Organizations. For information on fundraising issues involving gaming activities, see the Audit Technique Guide for Organizations Conducting Gaming Activities. This manual is organized into five sections: Background information Activities (professional fundraisers, fundraising events, internet fundraising) Records (solicitations, disclosures, cash contributions, non-cash contributions) Reporting (Form 990-EZ, Form 990: Core Return, Schedule G, Schedule M, Form 990-PF, Form 990-T) Audit procedures (pre-audit, field/OCEP, penalty considerations, case closing) Background Most, if not all, tax exempt organizations need money. Many exempt purposes can only be achieved via the application of money. Thus, large numbers of organizations devote significant resources to acquiring money. These organizations use various methods to obtain funds, ranging from selling a product or service, conducting a fundraising event, to just asking for money. Traditional methods of obtaining funds include soliciting donors via the mail, phone calls, newspapers, radio, television, and now via the Internet. Organizations have become creative over the years, conducting activities and events, such as the sales of foodstuffs, car washes, raffles, casino nights, auctions, and pledge drives, evolving towards more sophisticated ways to fundraise, such as targeting solicitations, using patronage levels, crowd-funding, and tax planning, such as conservation easements, lending arrangements, and charitable gift annuities.
