Introduction from our Chief Executive Resilience amid violence, destruction and civilian harm

2024 was a tough year for millions of people.

In Gaza, we saw an intensity of destruction and civilian harm that hasn’t been witnessed anywhere in the world for many years. Tens of thousands of people lost their lives. Tragically, this toll included three of our colleagues: Nahla, Muna and Sabreen. These three exceptional women worked with us as a livelihood officer, a social worker and a rehabilitation specialist. They were killed in their homes, alongside their children.

We also lost staff members in Lebanon and Syria. Abbas, the team leader of one of our mine action operations in Lebanon and a volunteer civil defence firefighter, was killed in a drone strike along with two other firefighters. He leaves his four children behind. Samer, an inclusion caseworker in Syria, was tragically killed by a stray bullet.

distributed hygiene items, first aid kits, wheelchairs, crutches and other mobility aids, and ran risk education sessions to protect children and adults from unexploded weapons. Their work made a vital difference for tens of thousands of people.

The war in Ukraine also ground on, tearing up people’s lives. Our wonderful teams continued to support survivors of explosive weapons, provide rehabilitation and psychological support, help people with disabilities and vulnerable households to meet their basic needs, and facilitate the rapid delivery of humanitarian supplies through shared storage and transport services. Towards the end of the year, it was a huge honour to be chosen by the Daily Telegraph as one of their Christmas Charity Appeal partners, raising money for our work in Ukraine. This came at

Sadly, other places also endured horrors in 2024. I’m especially proud of our efforts to raise awareness about the terrible – and terribly neglected – situation in Sudan, where tens of thousands of people have been killed and 12.5 million have been forced to flee their homes.

~~In 2024, HI UK’s experts in emergency rehabilitation, armed violence reduction, disability inclusion, humanitarian shelter and inclusive education supported programmes in dozens of countries.~~

This annual report is written in the memory of all our lost colleagues.

Despite enduring such terror and violence, dealing with persistent aid blockages and restrictions on humanitarian access, and the complete destruction of our office and one of our warehouses, our teams in Gaza were able to achieve remarkable things. They delivered physiotherapy and mental health support,

We worked with renowned photographer and disability advocate, Giles Duley, to produce a set of powerful stories showing the resilience of Sudanese refugees with disabilities as they make new lives for themselves across the border in Chad. Our fundraising event in November really brought home the scale of what is happening and the urgency of an international response.

the request of David Knowles, their much-loved podcast host who very sadly died earlier in the year. The appeal raised precious funds for our work, while also giving us a platform to raise awareness about the situation of the many disabled and vulnerable people struggling to get by in that war-torn country.

Our widereaching impact

As ever, the team also supported work in many other places as well. We responded to typhoons in the Philippines, supported disabled girls into education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, helped people facing flooding and drought in Bangladesh and Madagascar, and provided disability-inclusive healthcare in Sierra Leone. Our specialists in inclusive education, emergency rehabilitation, disability inclusion, humanitarian shelter and armed violence reduction supported programmes in Lebanon, Senegal, Nepal, Cambodia and Ethiopia, to name just a few.

In the UK, our fundraising teams broke new records, raising more money from individuals, trusts, foundations and companies than ever before. We continued our vital Stop Bombing Civilians campaign and launched a new challenge events programme. We also renewed our efforts to highlight the incredible impact donors can make by leaving a legacy to HI in their will.

Our fundraising achievements are testament to the energy and commitment of our staff to make the biggest difference they can for the people we serve, but also, of course, to the wonderful generosity of our many supporters, without whom we would achieve nothing. To those who gave to us this year, we cannot thank you enough.

Facing the future with determination

As we start 2025, we face serious headwinds from a worldwide reduction in government support for international development, including a 40% cut in the UK aid budget. This will put us under pressure financially, but it will also make our work – and the funding we secure from our many supporters – even more precious and impactful than ever.

As a team, we are determined to tackle this new challenge and to make the biggest difference for disabled and vulnerable people that we can. ||

INTRODUCTION

Message from our Chair

Responding to challenges in an agile, creative way

I am delighted to step into the role of Chair of HI UK. I take my commitment to the organisation very seriously and look forward to leading the Board to support HI UK’s lifechanging work around the world.

It is impressive how far we have come as a UK charity. This is thanks to the efforts of our fantastic staff team and the unwavering support of our donors. HI UK plays a vital part in the HI federal network, increasing its financial contribution to international programming year on year.

Globally, it is a very difficult time. We particularly remember our colleagues and their families who have lost their lives in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria this year and whose tragic deaths remind us of the daily risks taken by humanitarians around the world.

International aid budgets are reducing, humanitarian crises are becoming even more prolonged and the level of need amongst the most vulnerable communities is unprecedented. However, we are in a very good position to respond to these challenges in an agile, creative way. Together, the Board and HI UK team are determined to do everything we can for the people that we exist to serve.

During this financial year, the Board has continued to take a very proactive approach to risk management. We have appreciated the need to review and diversify our funding streams, even before the recent government aid cuts, given the downward trend in overseas aid over recent years. In this context, we have been delighted to see our best results ever for individual and major giving this financial

vital support to disabled and vulnerable people in so many conflict and disaster-afflicted countries around the world.

As an organisation with inclusion in our name as well as at the heart of our programmes, the Board of HI UK have been working to strengthen our frameworks for ensuring equity in our approach to recruitment and pay across ethnicity, gender and disability.

~~We are deeply grateful to all our UK supporters, donors and partners, without whom our life-changing work would not be possible.~~

year. Meanwhile, UK aid funding from the UK government remains key to our programming capacity - from disability inclusion in Ukraine to girls’ education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, support for disabled refugees in Jordan and disability-inclusive healthcare in Sierra Leone.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer since 2023 and now a Disability Confident Leader. As we recruit new members to our Board this year, we aim to ensure that we not only have all the relevant skills but also that Board represents the communities we serve. Diversity, equity and inclusion is as much at the core of our approach to Board recruitment as it is in in our staff recruitment.

We would not have the flexibility and agility to continue our programmes without our major donors. A huge thank you to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for helping us prepare vulnerable populations for disasters and to the many other trusts, foundations and corporate partners that enable us to provide

This year, our work on demining and explosive risk education brought much media attention, including on Radio 4’s Today Programme, on ITV and in the Telegraph, as part of our

wonderful partnership for their Christmas Charity Appeal.

I was delighted to attend an enlightening and moving talk by our land release specialists, Gary Toombs and Simon Elmont, about their work in Gaza surveying unexploded ordnance, including large bombs. They predict it will take 30 years to completely clear unexploded ordnance from Gaza; sadly, this can only start in earnest once the conflict has ceased. Likewise in Ukraine, we are looking at a similar period before the Ukrainian people can walk safely around their towns and countryside.

I am proud to serve HI UK as Chair and will do my utmost to support our wonderful team, as well as to work alongside my fellow Chairs of the other HI national associations to ensure that we continue to serve the world’s most vulnerable people the very best that we can..

Chloe Marshall Chair Humanity & Inclusion UK

Khaleel Ishaq Yousef, age 9, is from Geneina, in the Darfur region of Sudan, where he lost a leg during the conflict. He now lives in in Farchana refugee camp, in Chad, and uses crutches provided by HI, as well as receiving physiotherapy and strength and conditioning sessions.

He says, “Before I stayed at home all day, and now I can move around, which is good for my health. I go with my friends who like to play and climb trees. I watch from the shade of the tree, but I’m still happy!”

Trustees' Report 2024 Highlights

How our UK team supported HI's mission in 2024

Our purpose at HI UK is to bring tangible improvements to the living conditions of people with disabilities and vulnerable populations by supporting HI’s mission and programmes worldwide.

In 2024, we aimed to achieve this by raising funds, influencing policy and practice, and providing high-quality technical expertise to our country programmes. This was underpinned by a strong focus on building a diverse, motivated and connected staff team with effective support functions and a strong, supportive and ambitious culture.

This section explains how we achieved these goals in 2024 in each of our areas of activity, and shares some of our highlights for the year.

~~SUDAN AND CHAD~~

In Sudan, brutal civil war has forced more than 12 million people from their homes. Half of these are children. An unknown number of people – certainly tens of thousands – have lost their lives. 25 million people face crisis levels of hunger. Among these, it is the most marginalised, especially people with disabilities, who have been hardest hit.

In 2024, we continued our

emergency response supporting Sudanese people with injuries and disabilities in Chad, where some 900,000 refugees have fled. We also launched a programme inside the Darfur region of Sudan, despite the very high security risks. As well as providing direct support, we also worked to raise awareness of the crisis, including through our partnership with renowned photographer Giles Duley and Legacy of War Foundation, with whom we hosted a joint exhibition and dinner at the Savoy Hotel in London in November.

~~GAZA~~

The situation in Gaza remained extremely challenging throughout 2024. Since the conflict escalated in October 2023, we have lost three staff members to bombing. Nahla was a livelihood officer, Muna was a social worker and Sabreen was a rehabilitation specialist. All three were killed alongside their children. We also saw the destruction of our office and the demolishing of one our warehouses. Despite these hardships, our team of over 300 colleagues was able to continue to do vital, life-saving and protective work, including distributing relief supplies, supporting people with existing

disabilities or new injuries, and providing mental health care. We also deployed our UK-based explosive ordnance specialists to assess the scale and nature of the threat posed by unexploded weapons and to support the UN and other humanitarian actors to navigate the highly dangerous environment.

~~UKRAINE~~

In Ukraine, our teams worked tirelessly to support the most vulnerable victims of the relentless war. We helped disabled, older and isolated people living on the front lines to receive the supplies and support they needed to survive the winter. We educated children in underground classrooms on how to stay safe around landmines and unexploded weapons. We provided physical rehabilitation for injured people and we ran mental health support sessions to help adults and children deal with their deep psychological scars. We also supported other humanitarian organisations, helping them better include people with disabilities and providing a shared logistics service to get medicines, vaccines and relief items to their destinations as fast and as safely as possible.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

~~PROMOTING DISABILITY INCLUSION~~

In 2024, we set up an internal Centre of Expertise in Disability Inclusion (CEDI) as part of our Innovation and Development Division. The purpose of this team is to provide technical support to projects, strengthen capacity across HI and provide technical assistance to external stakeholders. We supported programmes in Ukraine, Bangladesh, Syria and Latin America, developed resources and training guides, and helped the Syrian and Somali teams to adopt guidelines on inclusive humanitarian action.

As well as running programmes to support vulnerable and disabled people around the world, another important part of our work is influencing the UN, other humanitarian organisations and the Government here in Britain to do the same. In the UK, we met ministers and politicians from different political parties to encourage them to turn their warm words about disability inclusion into concrete actions. We also engaged the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to persuade them to recommit to the vital concept of ‘leave no one behind’ as they refresh their international development strategy.

~~ARMED VIOLENCE REDUCTION~~

In 2024, our UK-based Armed Violence Reduction specialists deployed to Gaza, Laos, Lebanon, Syria and Ukraine, and in addition oversaw operations in Colombia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Mozambique, Senegal, Syria and Yemen to release land from contamination

by mines and other unexploded ordnance. They also conducted training in the UK on explosive ordnance disposal. We continued to assess potential new projects via assessment and meetings and to investigate new modalities of integrated progamming.

As ever, innovation was a big part of our work, including introducing and trialling the use of bodyworn cameras, the development drone technology for survey and remote-management technologies to disarm unexploded weapons more safely and efficiently.

Our teams attended and presented at the AntiPersonnel Mine Ban Treaty conference in Geneva on training and present on a panel of experts on victim assistance, providing recommendations for governments on implementation of new commitments in this

area. We also joined the Fifth Review Conference of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Antipersonnel Mines and Their Destruction in Cambodia.

In addition, our colleagues made numerous media appearances on local, national and international news outlets, including the BBC, in particular to discuss our work in response to the conflict in Gaza.

~~EMERGENCY REHABILITATION~~

We provided emergency rehabilitation support to teams in Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gaza, Lebanon South Sudan and Sudan, including on how to handle conflict-related injuries and wounds. We provided remote support to Interburns for essential burns training for nurses in Senegal and developed

2024 HIGHLIGHTS

a critical care module for advanced burns care. In addition, we worked with the World Health Organisation (WHO) to establish a rehabilitationspecialised emergency care team. This involved running a series of simulation exercises. We also supported the WHO in developing a set of minimum standards and recommendations for medical teams responding to highly infectious disease outbreaks.

~~P|~~ ~~INCLUSIVE EDUCATION~~

HI UK leads HI’s work globally on inclusive education. In 2024, our Inclusive Education team supported approximately 50 projects in 26 countries, including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nepal, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Rwanda. We attended and presented at the UNESCO forum in Paris on Inclusion in Education in February. This was a high-level policy dialogue and international forum with global leaders and education stakeholders to celebrate 30 years since the “Salamanca

Statement”, which emphasised the need for children to learn together in inclusive schools. We also supported the FCDO with the refresh of their internal Inclusive Education Policy and contributed to a report on inclusive education by the Canadian Parliament.

~~pe~~ ~~SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS~~

~~SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS~~

In emergencies, the need for shelter and non-food items such as hygiene kits or equipment for cooking often becomes critical. In 2024, our team supported programmes in Gaza and Lebanon, the start-up of activities in the Darfur region of Sudan, the development of new opportunities in Nepal, and guidance for teams in Afghanistan, Niger and the Philippines. In addition, we developed and provided training, improving typhoon mitigation measures and improving emergency distributions. This work makes an enormous difference to the safety and wellbeing of disabled and vulnerable people fleeing violence or facing a natural disaster.

PF

~~MEDIA OUTREACH~~

2024 was our best ever year for media coverage. Our work was reported on in a wide range of national newspapers, including the Express, the Guardian, the Independent, the Mail, the Telegraph and the Times. Our staff and spokespeople also appeared on broadcast media, including the BBC, ITV, LBC, Sky, Talk TV and numerous radio stations. A lot of the coverage was focused on Gaza and Ukraine, but we also shared stories about our work in Sudan, Syria, Lebanon and Senegal.

~~Fe~~ ~~OFFICE MOVE~~

As well as working hard to raise money, support our country teams and campaign for disability inclusion, we also made some changes to how we work. The most important of these was to move into a new shared office space with other NGOs hosted by CAFOD, the international development charity. We made this move to further improve our cost-efficiency so that even more of the funds we raise go directly to our programmes. Our new building is very high-performing from an ecological perspective, so the move has also helped us make a big reduction in our carbon footprint.

~~THE TELEGRAPH CHRISTMAS APPEAL~~

The Telegraph Christmas Appeal launched on 2nd November, with HI lucky enough to be one of the four chosen charity partners. The relationship came about at the bequest of David Knowles, the host of the Telegraph’s most popular ever podcast – Ukraine: The Latest – who tragically died earlier in the year.

Throughout November and December 2024 and January

2025, the Telegraph published 18 stories about our work in Ukraine and the people who work for us and support us.

At the start of December, members of our team joined editors and journalists for a fundraising phone-in for Telegraph readers. Our lead for disability inclusion, Sophie Allin, also spoke about our work in Ukraine at a special carol service for journalists and readers at St Brides Church in London.

We were also lucky enough to have the support of broadcaster and psychologist Dr. Sian Williams, who wrote a moving piece about the psychological impact of living in a conflict zone.

In total, the appeal raised more than £107,000 for our work in Ukraine – a fantastic and hugely appreciated achievement.

Partnerships and philanthropy

After our strongest year yet with our Partnerships and Philanthropy programme, we want to express special gratitude to our longstanding and new partners in trusts, foundations and corporates, as well as philanthropic individuals, for making vital change happen in extremely challenging circumstances and contexts.

The generosity from private organisations and individuals to our ongoing emergency responses in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine was heartwarming. They also supported our continuing work in Syria, one year on from the terrible earthquakes, and our disaster risk education and cyclone-response work in the Philippines. They were also very generous in supporting our development work: inclusive education and vocational training in Burkina Faso; inclusive livelihoods, particularly for young women, in Egypt; our work in prisons in Madagascar; and our support for people with diabetes in Senegal. Our warmest thanks go to all our major donors, on behalf of the people we exist to serve. Your significant donations change lives for the better.

To continue our fundraising endeavours, we welcomed more than 30 donors and partners to The Savoy on 7th November. In partnership with Legacy of War Foundation, we exhibited Giles Duley’s powerful photographs of the under-reported Sudan crisis, from refugee camps in Eastern Chad, before dinner and an

We want to especially thank players of People’s Postcode Lottery for raising £1.75 million, and for committing to another year of support in 2025. Their amazing contribution has funded our work on the Syria Crisis and the Stop Bombing Civilians campaign, as well as our preparation of vulnerable populations for disasters. These funds awarded through Postcode Global Trust also enable us to carry out inclusive emergency responses, as well as help support our physical rehabilitation of victims of conflict, natural disaster, poverty and exclusion around the world. We really value wonderful long-term partnerships such as this.

Omaid was provided with physiotherapy and elbow crutches by HI and is hoping to receive a prosthesis soon.

In the meantime, he attends school, plays cricket, and has recently begun learning tailoring in the afternoons. Omaid remains hopeful for the future, dreaming of becoming a doctor to help others in similar situations.

There is no prosthesis workshop near Omaid’s home in Kunduz. HI is currently building a modern prosthetics and rehabilitation centre in Kunduz that will allow children like Omaid to get all the services they need without having to travel long distances.

Governance, structure and management

Constitution and governance

Handicap International UK was founded in 1999. It was registered as a company limited by guarantee on 8th June 2000 and as a charity on 22nd September 2000. In 2018, the charity adopted a new operating name, Humanity & Inclusion UK, which is the name referred to throughout this document (alongside HI UK).

The organisation is governed by its Articles of Association, a copy of which is available at the registered office and at Companies House. HI UK is part of the global Humanity & Inclusion Network (HI), composed of a Federation, the HI Institute and eight national associations including HI UK.

HI UK is governed by its Board of Trustees, which is responsible for ensuring a strong strategic focus in line with the charitable aims of the organisation and with HI’s global strategy. In accordance with governance best practice, the Board aspires to follow the principles of the voluntary Charity Governance Code as proportionate to the charity’s circumstances; a review of our compliance with the Code was completed in 2022.

HI UK has taken into consideration the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when outlining the objectives and activities for the year being reported on, as well as for

subsequent years within our strategy. This guidance specifies that a charity must ensure that its purpose is carried out in ways that provide public benefit, must identify and minimise risks of harm to the charity’s beneficiaries or to the public in general as a result of its conduct, and must make decisions about who benefits from the charity in ways that are consistent with its purpose. The trustees assure themselves of this by monitoring and scrutinising reports from management and by reviewing risks each quarter, including risks of harm to beneficiaries or members of the public.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

As a member of the HI Network, HI UK supports and contributes to the work of the wider Federation. An international governance structure and an operational framework have been agreed within the Network in order to rationalise and share resources, and the Federation has agreed in our joint strategy to meet any shortfall of funds.

In 2024, the HI UK Board was represented on the Federal General Assembly with two seats. This General Assembly has ultimate governance oversight of the HI Organisation.

HI UK aims to select Trustees in a manner consistent with its equal-opportunities and diversity & inclusion policies. Trustee vacancies are advertised and we aim to advertise vacancies with diversity, equality and inclusion in mind, so that our adverts are accessible to a wide pool of potential candidate. Applicants are shortlisted for interview by a panel of the Board and appointments are recommended to and made by the full Board on merit against objective criteria and considering the benefit of diversity. Trustees are appointed for a three-year term and are subject to a re-election procedure After 9 years a Trustee must retire but can be reappointed and there is no maximum period of tenure, subject always to the requirements of the Charity Governance Code. The Board regularly discusses its effectiveness and its ability to work together as a team.

On acceptance of an invitation to join the Board, new Trustees are given an induction that includes information about HI and HI UK’s work policies and procedures,

Trustees. There is a delegation of authority which formalises the delegation of powers to the Chief Executive and sets out the matters that are expressly reserved for determination by the Board and cannot be delegated. The Chief Executive remains responsible for the matters delegated and is required to report to the Board as the Board deems appropriate.

Board meetings are held a minimum of four times per year and additionally as required. In addition, a Finance, Audit & Risk Committee and a People & Culture Committee meet regularly and as necessary between Board meetings and make recommendations to the full Board. Recommendations made and actions agreed by the Board committees are reviewed and ratified at Board meetings.

All of the Trustees are members of the charity and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up of HI UK. The Trustees are also directors of HI UK for the purposes of company law. They are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Day-to-day management of the organisation is devolved to the Chief Executive, who reports to the Board and has frequent contact with the Chair and

~~ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT~~

HI UK:

2022 was our baseline year for calculating the carbon footprint of both HI UK and the HI Federation. As HI UK, we have set ourselves the goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2047, which is 25 years from this baseline. We calculate our emissions using the French “Bilan Carbone” (carbon footprint) model, developed by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, in line with the methodology adopted by the HI Federation.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

Some changes were made to the methodology used for 2024, which substantially explains the variance between the 2023 figures and the 2024 figures. We are confident that our methodology for 2024 is more accurate than in previous years. We intend to harmonise our methodology in future years.

The total emissions for 2023 represent an increase on our 2022 figure. This is mainly due to the change in number of employees (calculations were done for 15 employees in 2022 whereas this year they were for 24 employees).

Remarks on emission measures:

Scopes 1 & 2 – gas and electricity use

In 2024, HI UK moved to a new shared building where we no longer own or control the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. HI UK owns no vehicles.

Scope 3

Category 1: Purchased goods and

services

Emissions for goods and services are included in the parameters for HI’s global HI carbon footprint assessment. We were not able to produce data for goods and services procured by HI UK in 2024. However, in line with our international methodology, we have included in this category data on emissions for employeesbought food & drinks (although these are sometimes considered to be personal rather than organisational emissions).

Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution

HI UK does not produce any emissions under this category.

Category 5: Waste generated in operations

We do not have specific data on the waste and water generated as an organisation as this is managed through the lease arrangements as part of the building operation.

Category 6: Business travel

All employees were surveyed regarding their business travel, including their destinations, methods of transport, distances travelled and, if flying,

the number of stopovers. International flights were our single biggest source of emissions. Our travel policy is to travel by train to UK and European destinations (see further below).

Category 7: Employee commuting

Emissions in these areas were assessed using a staff survey. This was not a high-emission area for the HI UK team, with many people using low-emission modes of transportation to and from work.

Category 8: Upstream leased assets

In 2024, we included emissions from our leased office space under this category. These emissions relate to energy use (electricity and heating) in our premises at Romero House, which is managed by CAFOD and over which we have no operational control. To calculate our share of emissions, we applied a pro-rata approach based on our occupancy. This methodological change from 2023 (when energy was partially included under Scope 1 and 2) ensures alignment with international standards, avoids double counting and enhances transparency in our carbon reporting.

Category 9: Downstream transportation and distribution

HI UK does not produce any emissions under this category.

Our current measured tCO2e is 106 tonnes. However, this figure would be higher if we were able to measure and include the contributions from our procurement, waste & water and digital consumption.

In order to progress to achieve Net Zero by 2047, we have adopted the following carbon-reduction targets:

• Measured emissions to decrease to 54 tCO2e by 2027. This would be a reduction of 25% on the baseline year.

• Measured emissions to decrease to 36 tCO2e by 2030. This would be a 50% reduction on the baseline year.

HI UK's ‘Green Team’ is

responsible for three key areas of activity:

• Policy – To work on projects, including our Carbon Reduction Plan, that improve policies designed to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment.

• People – To communicate with colleagues on how they can be conscious of the environment in their work, to encourage green practices across the business and to bring the environment into everyday decision-making.

• Private – To provide tips to colleagues about how they can live their personal lives in ways that have less impact on the environment.

Our Travel policy states requirements for travelling by train rather than aeroplane to certain business destinations in the UK and Europe.

Our Environmental and Sustainability policy states our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting good environmental practices. The policy also details employees’ responsibility to adopt behaviours that minimise their environmental impact.

Reducing carbon emissions was one of the criteria in our decision in April 2024 to move to a new and more sustainable office, with solar panels and underfloor heating.

In the future, we intend to implement the following further measures:

• Update our procurement policy – We will revise this policy to establish emission management, mitigation and reporting as key criteria in our choices of supplier

• We will work on a way to request our suppliers to have a CRP and/or commitment to Net Zero and to provide us with emissions data for our business with them

• Continue to develop staff awareness on sustainability

• Propose changes to our practices in order to reduce our digital footprint, including ensuring use of low-impact methods for sharing large files and reducing our digital storage

• Review our CRP.

The HI Federation

HI's ambition is to reduce its global greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. This ambitious objective is in line with the commitments of the Paris Agreement, which defines the trajectory to be followed to limit global warming and its impacts as much as possible.

In 2024, HI adjusted the measurements of its CO2 emissions and revised the 2019 baseline for its programmes.

A target of a 30% reduction in air travel was set for 2025, which should enable us to achieve a 21% reduction in our headquarters’ footprint.

In our country programmes, action was taken to limit the waste generated by our activities and reduce our energy and fuel consumption. To reduce our purchasing footprint, our suppliers were asked to adopt an environmental approach, thereby improving not only our impact, but also that of our partners.

~~Po~~ ~~INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES bo~~ ~~AND ADVOCACY~~

HI UK's charitable purpose is to meet the basic needs, improve the living conditions and promote respect for the dignity and fundamental human rights of disabled and vulnerable people worldwide. Through our work in 2024 we have spent £11.4m in contribution to the HI Network's global efforts. As described above, HI UK has also influenced policy and practice on disability inclusion and explosive weapons and our technical staff have designed and delivered programmes around the world, with a particular focus

on inclusive education, armedviolence reduction, emergency rehabilitation and humanitarian action.

~~Loo~~ ~~DIVERSITY & INCLUSION~~

HI UK has a formal set of commitments on diversity and inclusion. This includes principles on inclusive behaviours, communication, advocacy, recruitment, pay & reward, data and governance. As part of these commitments, in 2024, we continued to hold regular sessions to learn more and share insights about discrimination or to hear from different people about their experiences.

In 2024, we have continued our commitment as a “Disability Confident Leader” and continued to promote the scheme and disability inclusion with all our partners and our colleagues within the HI network. We also expanded our work to partner with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to become a ‘Visibly Better Employer’. In addition, we are running annual surveys to track diversity data, including metrics related to disability inclusion.

We seek to maintain a diverse Board. During the 2024 financial year, the gender balance among our ten Trustees was six women and four men; two Trustees being people of colour; and two describing themselves as having a disability. Diversity and inclusion is a standing item in quarterly Board meetings, with a

22

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

designated Board focal point and detailed oversight included in the terms of reference of the Board's People & Culture Committee.

~~CHARITY GOVERNANCE CODE~~

The Charity Governance Code outlines the following principles:

Principle 1: Organisational purpose.

The Board is clear about the charity’s aims and ensures that these are being delivered effectively and sustainably.

Principle 2: Leadership.

The charity is headed by an effective Board that provides strategic leadership in line with the charity’s aims and values.

Principle 3: Integrity.

The Board acts with integrity. It adopts values, applies ethical principles to decisions and creates a welcoming and supportive culture which helps achieve the charity's purposes. The Board is aware of the significance of the public's confidence and trust in charities. It reflects the charity's ethics and values in everything it does. Trustees undertake their duties with this in mind.

Principle 4: Decision making, risk and control.

The Board makes sure that its decision-making processes are informed, rigorous and timely, and that effective delegation, control and risk assessment, and management systems are set up and monitored.

Principle 5: Board effectiveness.

The Board works as an effective team, using the appropriate balance of skills, experience, backgrounds and knowledge to make informed decisions.

Principle 6: Equality, diversity and inclusion.

The Board has a clear, agreed and effective approach to supporting equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the organisation and in its own practice. This approach supports good governance and the delivery of the organisation's charitable purposes.

Principle 7: Openness and accountability.

The Board leads the organisation in being transparent and accountable. The charity is open in its work unless there is good reason for it not to be.

We are confident that our structure and approach adhere well with both the letter and the spirit of each of these principles.

Following the ‘apply or explain’ principle set out in the Charity Governance Code, we have one current Trustee who has served on the Board for more than nine years, our newly appointed Chair, Chloe Marshall. She was appointed Chair after a rigorous process of recruitment involving advertising externally (ensuring this was placed in order to attract the most diverse candidates), selection of a shortlist of three candidates and three stages of interview by different members of our Board and the Chair of the Board of the HI Federation, and was determined to be the best candidate for the role of Chair.

In 2025, we plan to introduce an evaluation process for the Board whereby the Board reviews its own performance and that of individual trustees, including the Chair, in line with the Charity Governance Code, including how the Board works together and other factors relevant to its

effectiveness. This will include evaluating the Board’s balance of skills, experience and knowledge and its diversity in the widest sense, which is something we already do whenever looking a recruitment of new trustees, however we will bring this into our regular review process.

~~INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES AND CODE OF CONDUCT~~

HI’s institutional policies and directives set out the principles to be respected by all of its employees and partners across the network, including HI UK. Alongside these policies, HI’s overarching Code of Conduct outlines HI’s expectations of staff and volunteers. It aims to protect all beneficiaries of HI's direct and indirect actions, and people from communities in contact with these actions, especially children, women, people with disabilities and anyone in a vulnerable situation. The Code also applies to all staff, volunteers and trustees as between themselves.

The following institutional policies are available at: www.hi.org/en/ institutional-policies

• Code of conduct

• Safeguarding framework

• Child protection policy

• Disability, gender and age policy

• Protection of beneficiaries from sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment policy

• Anti-fraud, bribery and corruption policy

• Counterterrorism measures and regulations policy

• Safety and security policy

• Environmental agenda

~~SAFEGUARDING~~

Safeguarding is a key element of our Code of Conduct and associated institutional policies and HI UK has both a safeguarding focal point member of staff as well as a safeguarding lead trustee on the Board who oversee safeguarding matters for HI UK and who are supported by the HI Federation Safeguarding team. Both HI Federal policies and HI UK staff policies provide mechanisms for safeguarding concerns to be raised and escalated. Concerns are kept in strictest confidence and with the wellbeing of the complainant a priority.

~~ORGANISATION AND SALARIES~~

During 2024, HI UK employed a full-time equivalent team of a little over 29 people (average staff headcount) to achieve its charitable objectives. We were also supported by volunteers and a secondment from the civil service with varied roles across the organisation.

HI UK aims to be a median employer compared to similar organisations in the UK and we participate in regular market surveys in order to achieve this. We publish salaries in our job adverts in order to ensure transparency and to promote

fairness. Levels of remuneration for all employees, including key management personnel, are determined using our salary grading system. Salary increases are based on a combination of cost-of-living and performancerelated measures, and are reviewed annually, overseen by the People & Culture Committee of the Board.

Principal risks and uncertainties

~~RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS~~

In 2024, the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee conducted a “deep dive” each quarter into one of five categories of risk in order to interrogate the quality of the planning and mitigations in place for each risk in that category. In addition, any new or significantly evolving risks were discussed in each quarterly meeting in the context of the overall risk picture, as were any serious incidents that may have occurred.

~~PRINCIPAL RISKS~~

The most significant risks and uncertainties that HI UK faces as an organisation at the time of this report relate to the following areas:

Institutional funding:

A significant proportion of HI UK’s funding comes from institutional donors, principally, the Foreign & Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO). The amount of UK Official Development Assistance that is being made available for international work by NGOs fell very substantially in 2020 and 2021, and in February 2025 substantial further cuts were announced. The 2020/2021 cuts have already resulted in a significant reduction in institutional income for HI UK since our 2020 financial year. The cuts announced in February 2025 are expected to affect our budget slightly in 2025 and substantially from 2026. Additionally, terminations by the

US Government of a large number of contracts with other parts of the HI Network have caused all HI National Associations, including HI UK, to be required to reduce budgeted non-mandatory operating costs, such as training, recruitment and travel. Further reductions to operating costs are expected in the short term. HI UK’s financial support from the HI Federation for HI UK operating costs means that reductions in institutional funding should not affect HI UK in the short term; however, there is a longerterm risk that we will not be able to grow our institutional funding pipeline. To mitigate this risk, we have strategic plans in all our programmes, wellestablished ways of working with HI's technical teams to ensure high-quality project design and implementation, and a programme of work to increase the engagement of our country teams with the FCDO and other donors. We are also active in maintaining our profile and reputation with central FCDO teams and key partners, including through work in 2024 to support the Government in refreshing its strategy on international development and to increase its focus on the goal to ‘Leave No One Behind’.

Programme management:

Given the very difficult contexts in which we work, in particular in fragile and conflict-affected states, there is a continuing risk

of challenges in programme management, whether related to speed of delivery, quality of services, efficiency of expenditure or compliance with donor requirements. As HI UK, we do not have direct management oversight of our programmes, as this responsibility is delegated to the HI Federation. However, we manage risks of any UK donor-funded programmes by maintaining close contact with programme teams, offering guidance and training in key areas related to implementation of UK funded contracts, systematically reviewing project reports and, on occasion as required, making visits.

Safeguarding of our staff, volunteers, partners and and the populations with whom we work:

Given that our mission is to help disabled and vulnerable people, one of the most important elements of our operations is the safeguarding of those that we work with, as well as those who work for us. Accordingly, one of the principal risks to our organisation is to be faced with a safeguarding complaint and/ or for that complaint not to be handled appropriately. In order to protect the people that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers, and to reduce all forms of safeguarding risk, we continue to take a number of mitigation measures both at HI UK and across the HI Network.

We operate under a Federation-

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

25

wide Safeguarding Framework, which aims to ensure that we comply with international standards on safeguarding. Together with our associated institutional policies, including the Code of Conduct, Child Protection Policy and Protection of Beneficiaries from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment Policy, the Framework aims to ensure staff and other representatives of HI comply with the standards and expectations that we have set ourselves. It provides a clear system for how to report concerns as soon as they are identified or suspected, and guidance on how HI will respond rapidly to any concerns and carry out investigations. It also ensures managers have appropriate training and support to deal with safeguarding issues.

The Safeguarding Framework applies to all entities within the HI Federal network, including the Federation, the National Associations (including HI UK),

the HI Institute and all country offices and teams. It applies to all HI employees, volunteers, interns, consultants, contractors and trustees, as well as accompanying partners and family members of international staff.

To facilitate knowledge and understanding of safeguarding obligations, focal points are appointed at the Board, management and staff level, and compulsory training courses are conducted for all staff and Trustees.

Additional safeguarding risk mitigations that HI UK has in place include a reference and police-check process for new recruits when relevant to the role, an effective seriousincident reporting procedure (implemented in line with the Safeguarding Framework as well as legal and donor reporting requirements in the UK) and a rolling programme of staff-led reviews of our major safeguarding risks. In addition, HI’s operational

partners and service providers are required to comply with and implement the principles under HI’s Safeguarding Framework and accompanying policies, unless their own organisation has a Code of Conduct and/or Safeguarding Framework that meets the required standards.

Retention of key staff:

In order to mitigate the risk of losing key staff, we are working proactively across a range of areas to promote employee engagement, including implementing a learning and development plan, continually improving our organisational culture, promoting diversity and inclusion, training managers to support mental health, talking openly and frequently about wellbeing, enabling flexible working, and promoting feedback and honest discussion.

Management of commercial contracts:

HI UK and the HI Network as a whole are adapting to the growing tendency of institutional funders to offer commercial contracts that render payment of funds conditional upon (and subsequent to) meeting specific performance criteria, as opposed to simpler grant funding agreements. Many of our current contracts with the FCDO are commercial contracts. Commercial contracts require increased monitoring and reporting to ensure that the performance and funding conditions are met. This increases the financial as well

as operational and reputational risks associated with them. The HI Network has mitigation measures in place to manage these risks, including building the capacity of our teams to manage such contracts well and proactively learning from the commercial contracts that are already in place. For current commercial contracts, roles and responsibilities are clear, with HI UK supporting and advising country teams on compliance and risk and supporting the management of relations with partners and the FCDO, as needed.

Counter-terrorism requirements:

As an organisation working in areas where there is a known risk of terrorist activity, the need to ensure full compliance with counter-terrorism requirements requires constant oversight and we have a Network-wide counterterrorism policy in place. Our UK team works to ensure that all country offices are aware of, implement and are trained on our global policy. We also share this policy with partners and funders during due-diligence assessments for all grants and contracts, as required. In addition, we participate in the Bond Sanctions and Counter- Terrorism Working Group to ensure we have the latest sector-wide understanding of risks and concerns in this area.

Fraudulent fundraising in the name of HI:

As for any charitable organisation, there is a high likelihood of criminal actors fraudulently using HI’s name to raise money. We have processes in place to ensure rapid reporting and response to any such incidents, including signposting people who report fraud to the police

and notifying the public through social media and our website. Unfortunately, we were made aware of 3 such incidents in 2024, in Gloucestershire, Corsham and Durham, which we reported promptly. We are unaware of any impact on our operations.

contexts in which HI UK works

are highly controversial. This is especially true of the situation in Gaza. While HI operates according to principles of impartiality and neutrality in order to advocate for and carry out our humanitarian missions, there is a risk that HI UK, the HI Federation or other members of the HI Network may adopt public positions on sensitive issues that alienate key stakeholders for HI UK, such as ministers, funders or supporters. In mitigation, we promote a careful and principled approach to public communication, aiming to ensure that all our positioning is consistently in line with clearly articulated principles, including the principle of neutrality, and requiring sign-off for any new policy positions. Our Networkwide social media guidelines were refreshed in 2024. In addition, the Board requires the Chief Executive to engage the Chair prior to HI UK taking any public position that may carry a reputational risk.

Data protection breach or cybercrime:

This is a growing area of risk for all organisations and one where constant improvements are needed in order to remain protected. In 2023, we introduced a new data-retention policy to ensure we comply fully with best practice in data protection. With support from the HI Federation, we have also further strengthened our IT protocols, which the Federation tests regularly. In 2024, we worked with data protection specialists to renew our Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

~~RAISING VOLUNTARY INCOME~~

HI UK is committed to maintaining the highest standards in our fundraising. We are a member of both the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and the Fundraising Regulator, and we comply with best practice in fundraising through the Code of Fundraising Practice. We also comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and have a policy on protecting potentially vulnerable supporters in line with these requirements. We ensure that any third-party organisations we work with adhere to these requirements too.

We work to ensure that our policy on fundraising with people in vulnerable circumstances is followed by all our fundraisers and suppliers. Our Team Heads and Fundraising Manager review all fundraising materials and provide training to our fundraisers, and those fundraising

on our behalf, when required. In addition, we incorporate the Institute of Fundraising’s ‘Treating donors fairly’ guidance into our fundraising. We regularly review our fundraising marketing channels and propositions and take on feedback from our supporters and the public. Our supporter promise can be found on our website at - humanity inclusion.org.uk/en/ our-promise-to-you .

In 2024, HI UK received 3 complaints related to supporter communications. All complaints were responded to and resolved.

~~FINANCIAL REVIEW~~

H HI UK’s income in 2024 was £13.04m, which represents a 62% increase from 2023 where we had an income of £8.05m. This growth was primarily due to a higher volume of grants and contracts from institutional sources, supplemented by an increase in private donations and legacies.

Our income from partnerships

and philanthropy increased from £519k to £750k. This was mainly due to good support from private foundations, especially from players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Our income from individual giving increased from £645k to £771k.

The HI Federation continued to maintain investment in HI UK, providing in total £1,863k (compared to £1,365k in 2023) to support HI UK’s strategy to grow, invest in UK projects, diversify our income sources and support our running costs.

~~RESERVES POLICY~~

HI UK’s reserves are intended to facilitate cash flow and to act as a contingency against unexpected expenditures or shortfalls in fundraising, with the aim of preventing any significant disruption to our charitable activities. They are evaluated in the context of the support provided by the global HI Network and are reviewed whenever budget projections are revised or when our exposure to risk changes. If needed, expenditure levels can be materially adjusted within a twelve-month period to fit revised funding levels.

HI UK’s policy is to retain the equivalent of two months of UK activity costs which equates to £368k. This policy is in line with the HI Network, which has a target for reserves of equivalent

to two months’ activity budget, excluding exceptional costs and the costs of strategy-related projects. At the end of 2024, HI UK’s total reserves – defined as unrestricted funds excluding fixed assets – stood at £358,993. For 2025, we have decided to adjust our reserves target by an additional £92k to better reflect the costs of two months of activity; in 2025, the total amount of reserves will therefore be £373k. The trustees approve this volume in light of the support HI UK receives from the HI Network, the good diversification of income sources and expenditure commitments, and strong voluntary income.

progress in offering a glimmer of hope and newfound respect.

~~Pe~~ ~~FUTURE PROSPECTS~~

We continue to work towards our strategic framework, across these three pillars:

1. Bring tangible improvement to the living conditions of people with disabilities and vulnerable populations through key opportunities linked to our organisational mission.

2. Be an innovative fundraising organisation, responding to the funding opportunities available to meet the needs of our programmes.

3. Have a diverse, happy and connected workforce, in an innovative, compliant and tech-savvy environment.

In 2025 , we intend to achieve these objectives by:

• Providing technical expertise to HI programmes in disability inclusion, humanitarian mine action, inclusive education, emergency rehabilitation and shelter & non-food items

• Promoting innovations such as ‘tele-rehabilitation’ technologies and the use of drones and body-worn cameras in mine clearance

• Encouraging the UK Government to implement its Disability Inclusion & Rights Strategy and to meet its commitments in the Political Declaration on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas

• Raising funds for humanitarian emergencies and HI’s longerterm work

• Establishing HI as a partner of choice among key organisations

• Building our network of supporters across the UK

• Continuing to improve our digital capability.

Under our fundraising strategy, we will continue to spread our efforts between institutional funding, major giving (philanthropy, trusts,

foundations and corporate

partnerships) and individual giving. With an experienced team in place and more streamlined systems, we anticipate growing individual giving significantly. We also hope to see sustained institutional funding income in 2025, though we anticipate a decline in opportunities from 2026. Behind these efforts we will work to increase our visibility and connections with all key audiences. With these elements in place, we expect to see a small decline in steady income growth over the coming year.

~~Lh~~ ~~GOING CONCERN~~

~~GOING CONCERN~~

The Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

29

months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

HI UK has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future, with a number of institutional grants and major gifts already having been secured for 2025 and beyond.

In addition, the HI Federation has confirmed it will provide sufficient funds to continue to support the charitable activities of the charity. Having considered the above as well as our fixed costs, the Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this annual report and financial statements.

~~STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES~~

The Trustees (who are also directors of HI UK for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees

are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent auditor's report

to the members of Handicap International UK for the year ended 31st December 2024

~~OPINION~~

We have audited the financial statements of Handicap International UK (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cashflow Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

~~BASIS FOR OPINION~~

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~~CONCLUSIONS RELATED TO GOING CONCERN~~

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve

months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

~~OTHER INFORMATION~~

The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

31

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

~~OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006~~

In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit

• the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

~~MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION~~

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

~~RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES~~

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 30, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

~~AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

Our objectives are to obtain

reasonable assurance about

whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc. org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

~~EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD~~

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed

32

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Anti-fraud, bribery and corruption legislation, Taxation legislation and Employment legislation.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of income recognition from grants and contracts and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, designing audit procedures over the recognition of grant and contract income, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent

limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect

non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

~~USE OF OUR REPORT~~

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

For the year ended 31st December 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Handicap International UK (HI UK) was founded in 1999, incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee on 8th June 2000, and as a charity on 22nd September 2000. As of the 24th of January 2018, the organisation has adopted a new operating name, Humanity & Inclusion UK. HI UK is a public benefit entity. The Registered Office is 9 Rushworth Street, London SE1 0RB. Since 3rd April 2024, the new office address is Romero House, 55 Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7JB

a)Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102), which applicable from 1 January 2019, and the Companies Act 2006. All figures are rounded to the nearest whole pound and presented in the charities functional currency which is (GBP). The Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. HI UK has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future, with a number of institutional grants and major gifts already having been secured for 2025 and beyond. In addition, the HI Federation has confirmed it will provide sufficient funds to continue to support the charitable activities of the charity. Having considered the above as well as our fixed costs, the Trustees believe that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing this annual report and financial statements.

b)Fund accounting The charity maintains various types of funds as follows: Restricted funds: Restricted funds represent - Grants and donations received which are allocated by the donor for specific purposes as defined by the donor; and - Some contributions from HI Federation, which are allocated by HI Federation for use for specific purposes. Expenditure that meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of support costs. Unrestricted funds: Unrestricted funds represent income which is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity. c)Income

Voluntary income, including donation, grants, legacies and volunteer contributions is recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. The following specific policies apply to categories of income: • Performance based contracts: where HI UK provides goods and/or services in return for a fee as part of its charitable activities such contracted income is recognised in the year as incoming resources in the SOFA to the extent that HI UK has provided the goods and/or services thereby earning the right to consideration by its performance. Income from commercial contracts is recognised in line with the performance of the contractual obligations. • Grants from governments, institutional donors and trusts & foundations: where related to specific conditions; are recognised as income in the SOFA when the conditions have been substantially met and the associated expenditure is incurred. Grants receivable are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in the year for which they are entitled to be receivable.

• Grants that are not subject to specific performance deliverables or conditions are recognised in full in the SOFA when they become receivable. Where income is received in advance of its recognition in the SOFA it is deferred as a liability until certainty exists that the conditions imposed can be met. Where entitlement occurs before incoming resources are received the income is accrued. • Donated services and facilities are included as 'Voluntary income' at their estimated value to the charity when received, and under the appropriate expenditure heading depending on the nature of service or facility provided, at the same value and time. • Investment income is included in the SOFA in the year in which it is receivable. • Legacy income is brought into the accounts when entitlement has been established, receipt of income is probable, and the value can be measured reliably. Sufficient evidence for entitlement is deemed to be when probate has been granted, there is evidence that there are sufficient assets to pay the legacy after settling liabilities, and conditions to receive the legacy are either within the control of HI UK or have been met. Receipt is deemed probable when final estate accounts have been sent before year end 31 December.

d)Expenditure and basis of allocation of costs

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis when the charity has a legal or constructive obligation.

Resources expended are allocated direct to the particular activity where the cost relates to that activity.

Support costs have been allocated between charitable activities and raising funds. Costs that are not wholly attributable to an expenditure category have been apportioned to each activity on an estimate of staff time.

38

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2024

HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL UK (OPERATING AS HUMANITY & INCLUSION UK) COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE, UK REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1082565

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31st December 2024

Governance costs include those costs associating with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity such as the cost of board meetings, statutory compliance and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs have been allocated on basis of relative income (excluding Contribution from HI Federation) between Donations and legacies and Charitable activities.

e)Expenditure on raising funds

Expenditure on raising funds include the cost of recruiting and retaining new donors, costs relating to private and/or institutional grant

applications, and associated communication and PR costs. These include an apportionment of support costs and governance costs, as shown in Note 4.

f)Accounting estimates and judgments

In preparing financial statements, management may have to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charities accounting policies and the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. It is the opinion of the Trustees that the estimates and assumptions that have the most significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year relate to the recognition of performance related grants and contracts. Contracts may include performance related elements which require an estimate of the cost to completion, where the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, the trustees recognise income under the contract only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

g)Expenditure on charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not

wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. Expenditure on charitable activities includes an apportionment of support costs and governance costs, as shown in Note 5.

h)Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation, which is provided in annual instalments over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation applied to the assets are:

Leasehold improvements 5 years or less over period of lease Computer equipment 3 to 5 years on straight line basis Office equipment 4 years on straight line basis Fixtures & fittings 3 years on straight line basis

The threshold for an asset to be capitalized is set at £500.

i)Pension costs

The charity contributes on behalf of employees to their stakeholder defined contribution pension scheme. The cost of the contribution is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the cost is incurred.

j)Donated services and gifts in kind

Donated services and gifts in kind include secondments of personnel, pro bono services and other services. These have been valued at the cost the charity would have otherwise have paid for these services; or where a specific price is not available, this is at market rate.

Items gifted to the charity are included either as income in the SOFA or as an asset in the Balance Sheet. The valuation of such items is as deemed reasonable by the Trustees.

k)Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All exchange differences are recorded in the SOFA.

l)Liability of the guarantors

The charity does not have a share capital and is limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up the maximum amount which

each member is liable to contribute is one pound. There were 10 (2023: 10) such members at 31st December 2024.

m)Operating lease

Total operating lease rentals are charged as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities over the lease term.
