DISASTER AID UK & IRELAND
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th June 2021. 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 objective of the company in the year under review was that of providing, on a worldwide basis, humanitarian relief and aid in the form of equipment and materials that provide refuge, potable water and training to people affected by natural and man-made disasters. However, in this year we also provided aid in other forms as mentioned below.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Disaster Aid UK & Ireland continues to be an active Country Partner in Disaster Aid International (DAI). DAI's other Country Partners are Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, United States of America, and Uruguay. Each Disaster Aid Country Partner is an independent operation but works towards the same common aim - to provide quality aid products to the survivors of disasters.
In the year July l, 2020 - June 30, 2021 we supported initiatives in Bangladesh, Brazil, India, and Lebanon. No Disaster Aid Response Team (DART) volunteers were deployed from the UK or Ireland. Where appropriate, the necessary expertise was provided by the other DAI Country Partners with whom we were cooperating and / or trusted contacts.
Bangladesh: Working in cooperation with Disaster Aid Australia and the Rotary of Dhaka, we helped finance the acquisition of a Baby CPAP machine for a hospital in Dhaka.
Brazil: Working with Disaster Aid Brazil we helped finance the acquisition of personal protective equipment to help combat COVID-19.
India: Working with Disaster Aid India and the Sujaya Foundation to address needs created by COVID-19 finance the acquisition of oxygen ventilators that were distributed to rural medical facilities that were being 'overlooked' in the spread of COVID.
Lebanon: Following the August 2020 explosion in Beirut we collaborated with the Rotary Club of Chtaura Bekaa Gate on two projects identified by them that resulted from the devastation caused by the explosion. In each case the aim of the project was to enable residents to return to their apartments and re-start their lives.
Project 1 provided physical security for 15 families by installing new front doors to their apartments.
Project 2 provided a piece of maquette floor covering for each of 100 families to help combat tripping and slipping hazards occasioned by broken flooring, and condensation and cold from a lack of floor coverings as the apartments did not have reliable heating systems.
Use of reserves
COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on our income as the donors we rely on found it difficult to raise funds themselves. We remain extremely grateful to all those who generously responded to our appeals.
As always though, it was the income from the donors who support us over and above our appeals that allowed us to conduct other related aid work and be able to respond quickly when a disaster occurs. Without those donations we would not have had the reserves to finance the work we did in Bangladesh or Brazil.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
