As in the previous year. 2025 wa5 another extremefy difficult year for these 8 projects due to the ongoing confiTrrt in Gaia that began
on 7th Ortober 2023 and continued offici31ty until the signing of President Trump's so-called -comp￿hen51ve peace plan" on 13
October 2025. That plan brought some limtied calm and an unsatisFaLtory ￿a5efire to Gaza but has had no impact on the West Bank
where our partner project5 are based. In the West BanLthe srtuation has continued todeteriorate. further impatting everyday life and
thus continuing to curtail the actNities of our partner projects. The six ￿ntre$ located in UNWRA-run refugee camps are particularly

Jalazone refugee camp lies on the outsknrts of Ramallah. There are drca 15.(MXI residents in Jalazone Camp (originally built to house
3.0001 of whom one third are under 18. Unernployment is running at 60%. There are large numbers of ￿Sidents with cognitive and
physical problems. Autism is an increasingly diagnosed problem forthis camp. Many children are affected bythe reality of living in close
proximity to the Belt El settlement.
ABCD'S annual commitment indudes sponwrship of the salaries of three of the paramedical team. funds to enhance their Child Fund
a fund set up to provide irKltvidual needs for the children and familie5 attending the centre - and a filrbd specifically to be used for
training purposes to enhance and develop professtonal skills of the staff.
During 2025, the centre continued to PTovide rehabilttation and developmental services for children with physÉcal and intellectual
disabilities living in the camp and surrounding communr(ie5. The ￿ntre maintains a positive and child<entred environrnent, where

for 5001. Again, unemployment ￿ around 60% and there are btheen 4C(l and 51x1 disabled people in the Camp, a large percentage of
whom ére thildren.
A5 Wlth the Al Kararneh ceTrtre above. ABCD was approathed for help by the local Committee of the Centre for Rehabilitation in 2014.
The eentre was in dire need of refurbishment tx)th with upgrading the construcknon and with the provision of equipment to aid
rehabilitation. Working together with the local commtttee. ABCD provKled the necessaryfunds. The ￿nt￿ reopened in 2015 and was
operating very successfully until the current crisis.
Nur Shams Camp has been the focus of a prolonged campai8n bythe Israeli army throughout 2024 and 2025 because of alleged mil*tant
activity. The entire populatiorj of the camp was forcibfy displaced for the second year, and the Rehabilitation Centre remained closed
throughout 2025 due to IDF militsry orders. As a consequence, the centre moved into a ￿e￿hboUring village Qaqoun offering li rnited
rehabilitation seTvices to around 25-30 thildren. In spite of the most appalling circumstances, the staff continue to be fully committed
to the rehabilitation of children and supporting their families. Families a￿ faced with many challenges mainly around transportation,
the closure of road5. checkpoints and the hard economic situation.
5. The Centre*or Rehabiknton In Al Arroub Camp
Arroub Refugee Camp is locate(J the southern part of the West Bank between Bethlehem and Hebron. As wlth other camps In the
West Bank, Arroub is characterized by high tFnernployment, overcrowding and poor li￿ng conditions. Many rthgees continue to live
in substandard shelters. The sewerage and storm-water network is in need of rehabilitstion and contributes to flooding in some parts
of the camp during the wrnter months.
Arroub Refugee Camp Rehabilit*ion Centre joirled the ABCD family in 2019. The centre re-opened in late 2019, havin8 been closed
forfive years due to lack of fvnds with the buildingfalling into disrepair.ABCD adwsed and funded the ￿OnStruction and the equipping
ofthe ￿ntre, and weare now cornmitted to regularty assistin8 wth the fundin8ofsalar￿s,theaccUrnulation of a child fund and fundiTr8
ttalnlng opportunities for the professional staff. all in line with our other camp projects.
The centre continued to support children and their famrlies duréng 2025 offerin8 them rehabilitstion sessions and support to o)ntinue
their rehabilitation at home whenever It is possible. A8a) supported the centre to install a lift to enable children and therapi5ts' safe
movement between departments. The installation Should be corwwleted by mid-2026.

At an ABCD board meeting in May 2022 it was vftaftimously agreed to provide the funds to completely ret70vate and equip the centre
to a high specification. This was completed in September 2022, making total holistic rehabilÉtation available.
In 2025 the centre continued to offer rehabilitation to disabled thild￿n and theirfamilies. ABCD donated a minibus to help the centre
with the transportation of the children to enable them to attend their rehabilitation sessions. This has been very well received aNd
made a huge dSfference to attendance and morale.

7. The Centre for Rehabilitation In DelrAmmar
Deir Ammar Refugee Camp is located to the north of Ramallah.. tt is one of the smaller camp5. As of 2022 there were 3,682 refugees
registered with the United Nations Relid and Welfare Agency. They INe in an area of 0.164 Km squared. Even though there 15
relatively small arnount of Space in the camp, the residents are still for￿ to work within the bovndarie5 of the land that they have.
This means that any addrfcional building is generalty on top of existi￿ strUtbJ￿$. twen if the5efoundations are not suitable for further
fltsors.
In 2025 the centre continued to offer structured ￿habilitation programmes to all children with physical and mentsl disabilities. With
ABCD support. the ￿ntre started a vocational rehabilitation project -the embroidery project- supporting children hnd theii farnilie5.
Furthermore, it was a8reed by ABCD to establish an ocojpational therapy department- planning and installation of equipment for this
commenced in early 2026.
& The Centre for Rehabfflttstton In AkAm'ari Retugee Camp
Al-Am'ari Refugee Camp is a Palestinian refvgee camp in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Govemorate, located 2 kilomet￿5 south of Al Bireh
in the central West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Ststi5tiC5 IPCBSI. the camp had a population of 4,725
inhabitants in 2017. By 2025 the camp had 10.377 lewste￿￿ refugees.
In February 2025weformalJy agreed to bringtheAI-Am'aTi ￿ntre wrthin ovrgroup. bringingtosixthe number of Rehabilitation Centres
in UNRWA refugee Camps sponsored by ABCD, and to eight the total number of ABCD projects.
Buildingon the progres5 made in 2024, in 2025the centrebecame moreengaged th the local comrnunityznd beyond, enabling more
children to aciess the ￿ntre and receive ￿habIlitatIOn. We cownpleted the development of departments offering a range of therapies..
speech and lan8ua8e, physiotherapy and leamin8 disabilibes. This was fulfyfvnded by ABCD.
In 2025 we also identified Al Am'ari asthe best located camp in whTrch to establish an Avdiology CeTrt￿ to supportchildren wfth hearing
difficulties to enable them to integrate in their Ictsl community and to join mainstream schooling. Thi5 will be fully funded by ABCD

Centre Govemance
All six centres are licensed annual￿ by the Palestinian Authortty and work in collaboration wf(h UNRWA ABCD receives both an
administrative and a financial annual report, together with monthly pro8ress Teports.
ABCD ertcourages tlte eentres In all slx camps to work dose￿ with each other and in ccAlaboration with other Iwl clinics, such as the
rehabilitaiion ￿ntre in Jenin, and other national and international NGO5.
In 2025 we estsblished a monthly meèting forthe heads of cMJrtentres, enablingthem to explore and exchange ideas and case studles
to enhan￿ rehabilitatyon and the services provided within their centres. These meelings are facilitated by the ABCD project manager
offering them adwce and supportwhenever it Is needed.
Educational Conference
In August 2025 ABCD fully funded a 2-week education conference in Amman. Jordan. for more than 2S professionals and heads of
centres from our 6 partner projects in the West Bank. The key topics included up-ttrdate evidenc&based practice addressing the needs
of disabled children,. a utilisaiion of rehabilitation toob to tecome an integral part of the rehabilitstion process. Key lecture5 focussed
on the implèmentatlon of assessment tools to plan the rehabilr(ation pathway of children. This conference gave the theraplsts and
managers an important opportunity to engage in professional discussions exploring and identifwng steps of improvements and
developments, as well ￿ a welcome respite from the ojrrentconflict.
Plans for 2026
The charity is ￿lebrating lis 40 anniversary in 2026 with a special Ser¥ice of Thanksgiving tn London in July as well as the Audiologv
fundraising campalgn referred to above.
Folltswing our lasi trustees. meeting we have agreed to explore SUPFM)rting another Under-￿sourCed rehabilitation centre in the Askar
refugee camp near Nablus. We are excited to be extending ABCD partnershtP5 in thi5 anniversary year.
However, potential fo¥ development in the existing partner projects will continue to be very limited until some kind of lasting accord
brin85 genuine peace and security to the Palestintan territories. The tnjstees have ring-fenced funds for use in Gaza when the situation
allows this. However we record our 8rave concem at the slow progress of the US-sponsored-comprehensTve peace plan" for Gaza. and
the continued violation of Palestinian community lrfe on the West Bank by 5ettler5 acting with the tacit 5UPPOrt of the Israeli army.
Peace and security for Israel is surety impossible without pea￿ and security for the Palestinians,. and l)oth are impossible without
justice.

My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with generdl Directions given bythe Charity Comrnission. An examination includes
a review of the accountin8 records kept by the thar￿ and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes consideration of any unusual tteffls or disdosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustee5
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
eonsequently no opinion is given as to whether the ￿unts present a Irue and fair. view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.
