Our history

Care-Link (UK) Trust was founded in 1997 registered with charity commission in the United Kingdom, initially to serve Muslim families (individuals and parents who had no communication links) settled in UK, Europe, and North America. But gradually, we expanded our perimeters of relief irrespective of religion, race and nationalities. As Care Link, we believed that each family is one social unit as a source to take first step to solve social problems and bring peace and harmony in society. To help solve parents’ problems, a free Matrimonial service was introduced and provided to over 2000 families, and still serving, free of charges.

A growing number of occurrences of violence injustice, social/economic problem

10

needed attention, Natural disasters (like Earthquake and Floods) increased our mission’s work and lead us to put in further efforts. Our biggest goal was to fight illiteracy, poverty, water shortage, support poor and orphan children for their better future.

Care Link UK Trust’s: Emergency Relief Teams are always ready to help victims of natural disasters, by providing medical assistance, domestic products, food, repairing houses, streets and supporting them to gain self-confidence without discrimination of religion, race, color etc.

Founder’s Remarks

With deep concern it is felt that due to alarming environmental scenario around the world, where poverty, disease, illiteracy, and un-healthy environment is common, life looks meaningless. One can read, think, feel about the sufferings among old sick people, youths, children, and women, but people are scared to take quantum leap to introduce modern logistic approach, invite people to join them and reform the situation no matter how much!

But there is always one person or a group of a few like-minded people who dare stand up and take up the challenge. This first bold step to face challenge, becomes voice of the masses, who later join them, and work hard, make scarifies and defeat the magnitude of sufferings, disappointments, disease, ignorance, poverty, crimes, defaced culture etc. and bring brighter future for next generation to enjoy peace, love, respect, freedom, security, happiness, prosperity etc. This was concern of the founders of Care-Link UK Trust, and we are determined to work on it sincerely, slowly but surely.

It is a dream- an un-ending dream, which can come true when Almighty Creator wills, as the saying goes “God helps those who help themselves”. We have seen a dream of breaking chains of emergencies and challenges; so, we humbly invite you all brothers, sisters, boys & girls, young & old, poor & rich, weak & strong, to join us, take this challenge and make the earth a peaceful place for everyone.

Fundraising Activities

Every venture needs hard work and financial resources; therefore, fundraising is an ingredient key to success of achievement in charitable field. Trust to meet expenses and help with the execution of new and existing charitable projects.

Care-Link (UK) Trust has been applying the following fundraising activities:

  1. We approached our regular donors, friends, well-wishers by letters, and our website.

  2. We received funds from our donners regularly when they wish to donate to support our charitable projects. Mainly, Trustees are major doners.

Our Work

1. Clean Drinking Water Project

Care Link provided free drinking water to poor families. So far, Care Link has installed more than 600 hand water pumps and 10 filtration plants on request of needy people, large numbers of hand water pumps have been installed in remote areas of Pakistan where people were sharing dirty pools water along with their livestock sharing same ponds.

The water situation has improved in the targeted areas, especially provision of water reservoir for animals. We have been getting more requests for water pumps for areas where weather is hot, and people are facing shortage of drinking water.

Thousands of water hand pumps and Tube Wells are needed urgently to provide clean drinking water for families, animals, and dry crops.

As you can see in attached pictures, our water pumps produce clean water as they have been installed using plastic pipe filter for underground galvanized steel metal.

2. Education and Support for Orphan Children

The Trust has been supporting children’s schools, (including lodging, boarding, and clothing). Funds have also been provided to other institutions for higher education and awareness.

We believe orphan children deserve more care for their mental and physical well being. Education is a basic right of all human beings- children, adults, young and old men, and women (irrespective of their ages) all over the world. But unfortunately, only those with good financial status avail opportunities of getting perturbational education. Poor children are deprived of their basic education to gain a better future for them. Thus, a two status division/class is created.

3. Qurbani (Islamic animals sacrifice)

In the month of Eid- ul- Adha, Muslims are obliged to follow traditional way of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) (father figure of at least 3 religion), who can afford to make sacrifice of an animal (per head). Although it is a religious obligation to sacrifice an animal, but it has a social impact as well. It provides a great opportunity to provide meat (protein) to those families who cannot afford to buy meat from an open market. Many families donate to

18

Care-Link (UK) Trust for their Qurbani animals (ritual animal sacrifice) every year. Therefore, large number of animals was offered as sacrifice on behalf of our generous donors hygienically and speedily, we distributed fresh Qurbani ( sacrificial meat) in packages of two Kilo Grams to each poor family in a very systematic and organized manner.

Figure 17:Qurbani Project 2023

4. Sadaqah – A Voluntary Gift

Sadaqah – a voluntary Islamic charitable deed (Donation) is another means of help to poor families. People who are financially well off very often perform this Sadaqah (gift) which can be in form money, clothing, animal sacrifice etc., to poor families, to orphan, to schools, homeless families etc. On many occasions Care Link (UK) Trust receives requests for performing Sadaqah (of any kind) to benefit poor people and arrangements are made as requested. This help is about meaningful support to poor families as a gift to create confidence in community and society.

5. Financial Help

Care Link (UK) Trust Support Teams often get requests from families, facing different kinds of problems, involving money matters. Depending upon the availabilityof funds Care Link (UK) Trust is always too glad to meet their demands/ requests, small or large. For example, we support (financially) poor young couples getting married, poor people who need help to repair/build their houses, poor people who need money for their medical treatment, poor people who need money for burial of their loved ones, provide financial assistance to widows (with or without children), and poor old familiesthis all depend upon availability of funds.

Some doners pay only for building materials and CARE-LINK UK Trust complete helps with constructions of schools, water Hand pumps, or small residents.

22

6. Eid Gifts- (Fitrana) to help poor people to join festival of Eid

It is a gift to poor families to prepare and join festivities of Eid. It is a compulsory payment (contribution) of a small amount payable by every Muslim (who can afford) to any person or family in need before Eid day. Dues for Fitrana (a gift for poor) were £6 per person (adult, or child) last year. Toys are also distributed to poor children. It happens once in a year, where Muslim families help poor families to join annual Eid festivities.

7. Community Welfare Centers

We managed setting up over 12 community welfare centers comprising.

There is demand of more welfare centers, and emergencies ( where people can meet

24

and solve different issues) and we are trying hard to build more welfare community centers as soon as possible.

8. Solar Power Projects

In order to help solve and minimize electricity problems, we have installed 11 solar panels systems in different educational institutes, charity hospitals and community centers, to minimize the electricity cost in such institutes where poor and orphan children live and get quality education. We help some other organizations to support the education system for those children who cannot afford quality education due to financial problems.

Conclusion and Recommendation

Since 1997, Care Link Trust has been working hard to serve humanity in many countries in accordance with our aims and objectives. Subject to availability of funds we tried our best to follow as many projects as possible. We never focused only on certain projects, we were always ready to help needy people, whatever their needs were. Therefore, our help perimeters became bigger. Those perimeters, included natural disaster victims, poor, orphans, needy, widows, students, old men and women etc. We always tried to provide a healthy, peaceful, and pleasant environment, wherever possible.

Note:

We have records of hundreds of pictures of other beneficial projects and are available in our office.

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Going Concern

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2024

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met.

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met.

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met.

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred.

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable.

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Allocating costs to activities

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-

Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.

Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity.

However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note2.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
