TRUSTEES’ REPGRT (INCLUBING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and compiy with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of ireland {FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)",
Objectives and activities
In 1995 a group of experienced development workers put their commitment to Bangladesh into practice by establishing Dhaka Ahsania Mission in the UK (DAM UK). BAM UK's Memorandum and Anicles of Association state the Company's objects as being “To relieve poverty, distress, sickness and improve the welfare of the inhabitants of less privileged countries giving preference to Bangladesh’.
DAM UK is a company limited by guarantee (registered in England and Wales, company number 3010064) and not having a share capital. Itis also a registered charity, number 1053786.
Working towards a vision of a word in whicn evaryans can tirive, DAM UK supports neal effgre nat cnatenge poverty and inequality in Bangladesh.
DAM UK works in support of local partner, also called Dhaka Ahsania Mission, a leading Bangladesh-registered charity, which has provided quality development programmes nationwide since 1958.
Ensuring that ‘no-one is jeft behind’, DAM UK supports initiatives in Bangladesh to:
-
e extend access to quality education;
-
¢ improve health outcomes, particularly by the provision of clean water & sanitation;
-
© promote sustainable livelihoods; and
-
= feaspond fo humanitarian crisas.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities for the year.
Achievements and performance
Despite significant development gains in Bangladesh over the past decade, all too many people in Bangladesh are unable to live their lives with dignity and respect, unable to thrive. For example, 17% of children fail to complete primary education and 71% do not complete secondary education (UNICEF), 45% of Bangladesh’s urban population lack access fo clean water (World Bank), and if is estimated that climate change has already caused the displacement of 6 million people in Bangladesh (ACR). Meanwhile, since 2017 Bangladesh has hosted one of the world’s largest refugee communities, approximately 800,000 Rohingya from neighbouring Myanmar.
Our current five-year strategy (2021-25) commits DAM UK to re-double efforts to achieve greater programme scale and quality to maximise impact on the lives of people living in poverty. It further provides focus for DAM UK to increase & diversify resources mobilised for Bangladesh, to improve impact and to strengthen organisational systems,

Financial review
Results
The income of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023 amounted to £375,357 and after deducting direct costs of £22,767 governance expenses of £1,620, and grants of £280,703 the net incoming resources for ihe year are £70,287 consisiing of an unresiricied nei incoming funds of 229,915 and a resiricied nei incoming funds of £40,351.
Reserves policy
As at 31 December 2023, DAM UK heid unrestricted reserves of £126,166 (compared to £96,250 the previous year). Trustees believe that this level of reserves gives DAM UK the confidence of financial viability, enabling the organisation to both continue and, critically, to be able to grow to support education, livelihoods, WASH and hurnanitarian initiatives in Bangladesh. The reserves nave neen earmarxed for ine fattowing purposes: £75,500 towards the forecast core budget deficit; £45,000 to enable DAM UK to confidently bid for larger institutional grants where funds are rejeased in arrears; £15,000 (equivalent to six months operating costs) to be held in the event of the cessation of DAM UK operations; and £15,000 for a project innovation fund.
Funds
At 31 December 2023, the charity's total reserves balance was £188,751 (2022: £118,484). Of this, £126,166 (2022: £96,250) was in unrestricted funds and relates solely to free reserves which can be expended on the purposes of the charity.
Going concern
The Trustees have considered ongoing working capital requirements. In view of the availability of unrestricted funds, the Trustees believe that preparing the financial statements on the going concern basis remains appropriate.
Risk management
The directors have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
¢ Areview of principal risks and uncertainties at least three times yearly
-
.* The establishment of policies, systerns and procedures io mitigate those risks ideniified In the annual review
-
¢ The implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risk materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is regular fund raising with grant making bodies and corporations.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
In most cases the charity receives grant funding from donors in advance of project expenditure being incurred. in these cases, the charity can sub-grant funds to DAM in Bangladesh prior to them incurring project costs. However, the Trustees note that increasingly the Charity is receiving grants where the donor terms involve them releasing fliinds in arrears (1s. affer some or all project expenditure has been incurred). To avoid the cashflow burden falling on our partner DAM in Bangladesh and their suppliers, the Director's reserves policy provides the discretion to advance funds to Bangladesh against contracted donor income.
Income from interest and dividends is recognised when its receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
