RedR UK {A company limlted by guarantee and reglstered charity) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FOREWORD Forty-five years ago, RedR was founded on a simple but powerful principle- that technical skills and practical training can save lives and restore dignity in times of crisis. In a world now marked by escalating conflict, climate disasters, and shrinking humanitarian resources, that principle has never been more relevant. To our partners across the engineering community, individual and institutional donors-. your support enables RedR to respond swiftly and effectively to disasters and crises. RedR is the leading humanitarian sgen¢y for training in disaster relief and conflict response, equipping national professionals in their own stricken countries with the additional knowledge and skills th8y need to grapple with the chaos, confusion and terrors of disasters and wars. Modern humanitarian response is led by professional responders in their own countries. They are first on the ground, best placed to lead national and international response.RedR's unique value lies in providing training and technical assistance that prepares those responders to apply their professional skills within the shock of humanitarian crises. This year, RedR r6ached 2.698 training participants across 72 nationalities, equipping frontline responders with critical skills. From Sudanese organisations navigating unprecedented displacement to Ukrainian waler utilities maintaining essential services under bombardment, from clifflale adaptation specialists in drought and flood-prone Afghanistan and Somalia lo engineers assessing blast damage in conflict zones, our work h8S Strengthened the very foundations of humanitarian effectiveness. RedR's value is acclaimed by our supporters across industry, by commentators such as the Financial Times which lists RedR amongst the lop twenty humanitarian organisations, by the active patronage of Dur President the Princess Royal, and above all by the high demand and ratings of professionals around the world who have absorbed RedR training this year. The year 2024-25 has tested the resilience of the humanitarian system. War has affected the lives of millions through death, starvation, injury, and displacement. Climate disasters struck wilh increasing frequency and ferocity. As global needs reached unprecedented levels, resources diminished. Major institutional donors implemented Significant funding cuts, leaving organisations across the humanitarian ecosystem grappling with how to maintain essential SeiceS when they are needed most. Consequently, RedR conducted a restructure and repriorilisation programme in early 2025 leading to more sustainable finanGial future. Within this challenging context. RedR's mission has never been more vital and our impact more tangible. When systems are stretched, the need for skilled, effective humanitarian dèlivery becomes paramount. Every crisis reinforces a fundamental truth, that humanitarian response depends notjust on funding, but on the capacity of those who deliver it. These achievements extend beyond numbers. We delivered training in nine languages in addition to English. reflecting our deepening commitment to localisation and our recognition that effective humanitarian action must be rooted in local contexts and led by thosg closest to crisis. The establishment of Communities of Practice in Sudan, the launch of grassr()ots organisations like Act for Climate in Afghanistan, and the cascading of knowledgo through our Training of Trainers programmes all demonstrate the multiplier effect of investing in local capacity.
RedR UK (A company limited by guarantee and reglstered Charlty) TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Intemally, RedR has undergone its own transformation. We refined our strategic framework for 2025-27 and updated our associate trainer pool lo 200 experts represenling over 40 nationalities across 50 countries. The stories in this report, from Huda in Sudan reshaping her organisation's training approach, to Ahmad in Afghanistan founding a new climate initiative, to engineers in Ukraine safeguarding essential services under bombardment, remind us why RedR's work matters. In a sector often focused on immediate relief. we build the long-term capacity that ensures humanitarian adion is not only effective in the moment, but sustainable and locally led for the future.

Scaling Security Management Capacity in Crisi$-Affected Contexts In Lebanon, where contlict has displaced over a million people since late 2023. RedR launched a tailored trainirFg initiative to help responders address growing humanitarian needs amidst a deteriorating security situation. An initial rapid learning needs assessment located gaps in safety, security, and mental health competencies among local respondents. The project will rollout training sessions, delivered in English and Arabic, covering Personal Security I Staying Effective {PS I SE}, Security Management for Humaniiarians {SMH), and coaching sessions for SMH participants. In early 2025, we completed delivery of two online facilitated training sessions for the first cohorts (English and Arabic) of PS I SE to a total of 13 participants. Subsequenl cohorts for Ihis module and SMH are scheduled to run in FY2025126. The project is projected to reach 130 humanitarian responders comprising national and international NGO staff, volunteers, and civils society ropresantativ@s,' initial feedback indicates high levels of satisfaction, with 1000/0 of suNey respondents from PS I SE rating the training as 'excellent' or 'good'. Beyond our bespoke offerings, RedR continued to strengthen broader sectoral capacity in security management through our open courses. In November 2024, the Security Management for Humanitarians open course brought together 19 participants from Ukraine. Jordan. and the United Kingdom. The eight- session online course focused on managing security in emergencies through participatory methods and a realistic simulation activity. Feedback highlighted the immediate relevance and impact of the training: °Thanks to everyone.

Engineering In Emergencies Shelter Recovery and Reslllence in Ukraine For several years RedR has worked to strengthen local capacity for conflicl recovery and shelter resilience in Ukraine through a portfolio of practical, scalable training initiatives. With widespread damage to housing and crttical infrastructure, compounded by a limited pool of certrfied professionals remaining in country, the need for technically sound, cost-effective repair solutions has never been greater. In partnership with the Ramboll Foundation, Helvet8s, and technical experts including Arup, RedR delivered two rnutually reinforcing training programmes this year that are enabling communities and institutions to lead recovery efforts. In Ukraine, RedR strengthened national capacity to assess, repair, and restore conflict-damaged housing and critical infrastruclure through our Community-Led Shelter Assistance Iraining programme, with support from Ramboll Found8lion and Helvelas. The programme was grounded in a comprehensive learning needs assessmentthat involved over 400 organisations. Findings from the LNA informed the development of three bespoke training modules tailored to the realities of conflict-affected communities and continues to inform sector-wide learning and capacity strenglhening efforts.

Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Reviewing financial statemènt disclosures and testing lo supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias. and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampllng in material audit areas. Because of Ihe inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with 818w or re9u18tion is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non- compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularilies occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentalion.
