Objectives and Activities Objectives and aims The charity's objective is the relief of suffering caused by war and disaster in the UK and overseas by the provision of complementary therapies. REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (CONTINUED) Significant activities In order to achieve it's objectives, the charity currently operates projects in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This project operates from a rented house in Sarajevo which provides accommodation for up to four volunteer therapists and has two treatment rooms. Therapists also visit clients In outreach centres in outlying areas. Clients include those who have been affected both physically and emotionally by war, and treatments include a wide range of complementary therapies. The charity is endeavouring to empower Its client base by offering and delivering self help training workshops in various modalities which it hopes to expand into recognised qualifications in the future. The charity also works in the UK with veterans from the UK Armed Forces treating service personnel who are affected by PTSD and the after effects of service. They also treat serving personnel and their families. Page 1 ## HEALING HANDS NETWORK Since COVID, the support centres have not re-opened. We only help at Veterans Hub Weymouth and the military FAB camps (Family Activity Breaks) for bereaved military families. The charity also began helping the Ukraine effort by collecting and delivering medical, surgical and humanitarian aid to partners StaysafeUA in Ukraine, who distribute it where needed; and working with "UK to Ukraine" to raise funds and transport aid to StaysafeUA. Civilian UK work includes helping the Bosnian refugees who fled the war and were resettled in the UK and are part of the organisation BosniaUK. The charity treats this community as they share the same traumas and experiences as those left behind in Bosnia. HHN also work with the organisation Remembering Srebrenica. All volunteer therapists are members of Healing Hands Network and have been screened to ensure that they are properly qualified. They are also required to hold professional indemnity insurance, and for overseas tours of duty to have travel insurance and to receive any relevant Inoculations. Achievement and Performance ## Charitable activities The members of Healing Hands Network are qualified and experienced therapists offering a range of treatments Including massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, reiki and other mainstream complementary therapies. They are all volunteers and raise the funds needed for their two week tour of duty, which was £950 in 2024. Their clients in Sarajevo come from the Association of Concentration Camp Victims, the Association of Civil War Victims and the Women Victims of War which are men and women who were in concentration camps that exercised rape and sexual abuse and execution. Clients in the UK come through Combat Stress and RBL. The charity is non-denominational and treats everyone regardless of race or creed. Benefits to the clients include sleeping better, relief of aches and pains, improvement in their general quality of life and many other positive effects plus those workshop attendees can help family and friends who do not come for treatments as well as helping themselves. ## Fundraising activities The management committee has a policy to ensure that financial liabilities are all met as they fall due. Fundraising activities include a small amount of payroll giving, applications to charitable trusts and funds raised by individual members. ## Financial Review ## Reserves policy The charity's unrestricted reserves stand at £22,043 (31 December 2023 - £6,314). Unrestricted reserves should be at a level sufficient to finance at least one year's supply of Its services should other sources of funding fail to materialise. The charity’s restricted reserves stand at £11,534 (31 December 2023 - £13,781). Restricted funds represent members’ travel funds. Members raise their own funds to meet their travel costs, a portion of their subsistence costs and the administrative costs of organising a tour of duty In Bosnia. The balance carried forward represents funds raised by members who have yet to make the trip or who do not yet have sufficient funds to finance the tour. ## Future Developments The charity plans to continue its activities as outlined above subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. ## On behalf of the Board of Trustees: Mrs S J Stretton - Trustee ## Date: 04/08/2025 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALING HANDS NETWORK I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 9. ## Responsibilities and basis of report As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act).
