**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The principal activities of the charity are to advance the education of children and adults, to advance medical research, social welfare, the relief of need, hardship and distress and the advancement of religion. 

The Khayami Foundation was established as a UK-based charitable trust in November 2000. The objects of the Foundation are deliberately expressed in the broadest terms, providing its trustees with the widest mandate to offer aid and assistance where it is felt to be most needed. 

However, it is nonetheless, the will of its Trustees that the Foundation should primarily focus its attention on the ethos that peace and tolerance amongst nations can be achieved through the promotion of education and mutual understanding between people of all races and religions. 

## **Significant activities** 

Major activities undertaken in 2024 were to provide donations in support of education and social welfare. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission. 

## **Grantmaking** 

In view of the wide range of objects which The Khayami Foundation is seeking to benefit, the trustees give much time to discussing the many requests for aid that are received from other charities and as to how the maximum benefits might be achieved in terms of the charity's objects. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

## **Summary of the main achievements during the year** 

The Khayami Foundation was able to make charitable grants of £41,500 in support of healthcare and other charitable causes. 

## **Performance achieved in charitable activities against objectives set** 

The aforementioned donations enabled The Khayami Foundation to fulfil its objective of the advancement of education of children and adults, to advance medical research, social welfare, the relief of need, hardship and distress and the advancement of religion. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The Khayami Foundation does not undertake fund raising activities. 

## **Investment performance** 

The Khayami Foundation does not rely on funds invested to balance its budget. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The incoming resources for 2024 were £44,022 (2023 - £25,246). The Khayami Foundation made charitable donations of £41,500 (2023 - £35,000). The charity has unrestricted reserves of £20,996 as at 31 December 2024. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

There are no restrictions on the charity's powers to invest. However, the trustees are risk averse and will select any investments with that attitude in mind. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to applications for grants which arise from time to time.

The trustees are primarily responsible for controlling the management and administration of The Khayami Foundation charity and bear the ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of The Khayami Foundation and ensuring that it is solvent, well run and delivering the charitable outcomes for which The Khayami Foundation has been set up. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

New trustees are given an induction kit including: Charity Commission of England and Wales "The Essential Trustee" that sets out the rules and regulations on the role, duties, and liabilities of trustees. The appointment of trustees is confirmed only after they show understanding of a trustee's role, duties and liabilities. 

## **Related parties** 

These are disclosed in the note to the financial statements 'Related Party Transactions'. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

The trustees have a risk management policy, which encompasses financial, operational, legal/regulatory, strategic and reputation and public interest. There is an annual review of the risks the charity may face. Although the charity faces few risks this review has allowed the trustees to identify these risks and set up necessary procedures.
