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. CARE-LINK UK TRUST is a small sized charitable organization, registered with British Charity Commission in respect of manpower and economical resources available.
As Care Link, we believe 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 now starting again free of charge after the gap of few years.
A growing number of occurrences of violence, injustice, social/economic problems needed attention, Natural disasters (like Earthquakes, Floods etc.) 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.
During last 29 years of our struggle, we thank God (Allah), our successes and achievements have been much more than expected. We achieved a lot and now desire a lot more to deliver better level of services to as many suffering children, men, women, old, poor, orphans, sick people, and more families as much as possible.
Our Vision:
Looking at the social, economic, cultural, educational, health etc. challenges, our vision surpasses all boundaries of developing countries of the world. We have a great desire and ambition to see a peaceful and friendly cultivated environmental society in those localities with our sincere activities
5
in all coming time. In brief, we desire to see peace, security, welfare, justice, racial equality, national co-existence as far as possible.
Prevention is Better than cure: - Our aim is to prevent antisocial environment by supporting education, health awareness, empowerment, and sustainable development. By focusing on prevention, CARE-LINK UK TRUST helps build resilient communities and encourage lasting change. Therefore, our whole hearted slogan is, “Let us Link up together and Care for each other” this message is printed on all our trust envelopes.
Our Mission:
We fully understand the nature and reasons of above-mentioned vision, and will do our best to put in our efforts to help create self-sufficiency-based confidence and bring about happiness, prosperity, safety, justice, and security among all peoples, wherever we can reach and allowed by our circumstances and resources – God Willing (Inshallah)

Our Projects
1. Helping Poor Families:
We have to mention that our services are provided only in areas and countries where we can find reliable and trustworthy teams of volunteers (including paid workers). We have distributed, on emergency measures, over 2000 packages of food and clothes, etc.to deserving families this year (2025-26). Care Link (UK) Trust’s Supporting Teams often get requests from families, facing different kinds of problems, involving money matters as well. Depending upon the availability of funds, Care Link (UK) Trust is always 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 families- this all depend upon availability of Funds.

2. Education and Educational Support
We believe orphan children deserve more care and attention for their mental and physical wellbeing and bright future. Education is a basic right of all human beings- children, adults, young and old men, and women (irrespective of their ages, gender, cast, colour or nationalities) all over the world. But unfortunately, only those with good financial status and resources avail opportunities of getting education for their children. Poor children are deprived of their basic education to gain a better rank and future for them. Thus, a two-status division or class is created.
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 are supporting different schools in different areas providing quality education for poor children and improving educational facilities. Poor students have been supplied with uniforms, shoes, books etc. We desire to see a higher literacy rate among all poor children- as far as we can go. Also, we have helped to build a school in Central Africa, which will cater for over 500 poor children. Thank God so far, we are supporting more than 12 educational institutions.

3. Provision of Clean drinking Water:
We all know; besides oxygen, life totally depends on consuming healthy clean water. So far over 800 hand water pumps have been installed in remote areas of Pakistan where people were sharing pools of dirty water, along with their livestock sharing same dirty ponds. Care Link provided drinking water free to poor families. We have installed over 800 water Hand Pumps, and over 10 Filtration Plants, and Tube wells for poor communities. We provided Tube wells and water reservoirs for cattle and farming lands (run by poor farmers). Our water pumps produce clean water as they have been installed using plastic pipe filter for underground galvanized steel metal. We installed a cooling plant where pumps were delivering very hot water. We expect all poor people to have clean and cool drinking water, which reduces illness rate and brings good health.
The water situation has improved in targeted areas, especially provision of water reservoirs for animals and birds. 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. We are trying to go ahead to more poor areas.

4. Health:
We are supporting more than 8 charitable/medical institutions. We also shared organizing Rohingya refugees sheltering camp in Bangladesh. Our aim is to provide all necessary medical facilities for poor communities to reduce illness rates and improve health conditions.
5. Employment – Income Generating Projects:
Our aim is to increase the employment rate and self-sufficiency-based confidence in young people who can work hard to improve quality of life for themselves.
-
We have established 10 sewing machine (Dress Making) centers for poor girls to learn skills. After completion of course/Training, we provide them with one sewing machine as a gift to start working independently. Now we are going to open professional skill learning center for boys in Pakistan and improve existing learning centers.
-
We have provided more than 20 vending trolleys/Carts and motor rickshaws for poor families to create self-employment. They are earning bread and butter for their families and living better life. We are meeting more requests subject to our budget and availability of funds.
-
We started a small clay oven Bread making unit to provide poor communities with bread and curry at surprisingly minimum price and free food for people who cannot afford our minimum price. This service is working beautifully to provide food for poor people on one hand, and employment for unemployed workers (Working there) to earn their living on the other hand.
-
We have installed a clean mineral drinking water bottling plant for marketing at low price. Thus,
creating more jobs and raising some funds for our other projects.

6. Qurbani (Islamic animals ritual 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 religious nations – Judaism, Christianity and Islam), people who can afford to make sacrifice of an animal (per head). Although it is a religious obligation to sacrifice an animal, it has a social impact as well. It provides a great opportunity to provide meat (protein) to those poor families who are unable to buy meat from an open market. Many families donate to Care-Link (UK) Trust for their Qurbani animals (ritual animal sacrifice) every year. Therefore, large number of animals were 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.

7. Community Welfare Centers

-
Additional Schooling
-
Prayer Hall
-
Conference Room
-
Kitchen and Washrooms

5. Hall for social gathering e.g., Weddings, Funeral, Functions etc.
There is demand for more welfare centers, including emergencies (where people can meet 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 electrical shortage problems, we have installed over 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. Solar panel systems are saving millions of rupees in terms of their exorbitant electricity bills, while helping to produce clean water.

9. Emergencies:
We helped victims of earthquakes (2005), victims of floods (2010 and 2022). We helped relief work in earthquake in Turkey. We also provided medicine, medical services blankets etc. to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Our main aim is to respond quickly to any emergency cases in different areas as much as we can. We rush to help in cases of floods, earthquakes, wherever possible.
Recently in 2025 - 2026 , during the flood in Pakistan (South Punjab), we rescued over 100 families and rehabilitated people in temporarily accommodations. We also provided them
-
Cooked Food for over 1000 people on weekly bases.
-
One-month Raw Food Packages for over 300 families
-
Mosquito Nets and smoke coils were provided to prevent spreading malaria disease.
-
With the start of Winter Season, over 300 blankets were provided to poor people.
-
After the flood, we helped them with re-building houses for displaced families to start their normal life again.

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 endless. 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.
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 a quantum leap to introduce and join modern logistic approach, and invite other people to join us together and reform the situation no matter how much!
But, historically, there is always one person or a group of like-minded people who dare stand up and take the challenge. This first bold step to face challenges becomes voice of masses, who join them later, and work hard, make sacrifices and defeat the magnitude of Challenges, disappointments, disease, ignorance, poverty, crimes, defaced culture etc. resulting in bring brighter future for next generation to enjoy peace, love, respect, freedom, security, happiness, prosperity etc. This has been concerning the founders of Care-Link UK Trust, and we are determined to work on it sincerely, regularly, 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 all brothers, sisters, boys & girls, young & old, poor & rich, weak & strong, join us, and take this challenge and make the earth a peaceful place for everyone.
Note:
We have depicted only a few pictures of our charitable projects. We have records of hundreds of pictures of other beneficial projects and are available in our office.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2026
- 1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
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 2026
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.
