God My Silent Partner Foundation
Trustees’ Report
GMSP partners continue their work amid growing pressures: reductions in government and statutory funding, rising delivery costs, and an increasingly constrained operating environment for civil society.
While GMSP's source funding has decreased, resulting in less funding available for grant making, we were still able to give valuable support to a number of important causes including violence against women in Black and minoritised communities (Apna Haq), hot meals and nutrition (Maa Group Foundation), spirituality and meditation activities (Self Realization Fellowship) and emergency relief to Myanmar and Thailand following the earthquake (Global Giving) ~~.~~
We continue to champion unrestricted, trus ~~t-~~ based giving as the most effective route to sustainable social change.
Our CEO, Sonal Patel, remains actively engaged with partners, providing thought partnership and practical support, including joining Arpan’s advisory board, facilitating introductions to new funders, and mentoring senior leaders through pro bono coaching sessions. GMSP has also continued to influence wider funding practice by sharing our experience of flexible, long ~~-~~ term support for grassroots organisations. Through Sonal’s role as Philanthropist in Residence at the LSE’s Marshall Institute, she has helped nurture a growing community of philanthropists who are giving meaningfully in the UK and globally, and who meet quarterly at LSE for a learning series on philanthropy.grounded in values of humility and collaboration.
Sonal continues to support the GivingPi network, which strengthens the community of UK diaspora philanthropists giving to India, and she co ~~-~~ chaired the India Philanthropy Forum in London for the second year running ~~.~~ She also spoke at the Lord Mayor’s Philanthropy Colloquy and the Beacon Collaborative Philanthropy Forum ~~.~~ This year, she joined the National Strategy for Philanthropy group convened by CAF and Beacon Collaborative, contributing to the effort to increase UK giving and shape a more supportive policy environment for philanthropy ~~.~~
Our Trustees and CEO also visited UK partners including Akshaya Patra, Think Equal, and Brilliant Club, continuing to build trusted relationships and share learning across our network ~~.~~
Further details on current and previous work that we have supported can be found on our website at https:/Avww ~~w~~ .gmspfoundation ~~.o~~ rg/
Public benefit
We have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales and when reviewing our aims and objectives and planning our future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the charity and are confident that our activities during the past year have been for the public benefit.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of God My Silent Partner
Foundation
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of God My Silent Partner Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP ~~-~~ FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ~~.~~
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 Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report ~~.~~ We are independent of the charity 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 RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
« the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
« the Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’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 ~~.~~
OTHER INFORMATION
The Trustees are responsible for the other information ~~.~~ 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 ~~.~~
Page 8
God My Silent Partner Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of God My Silent Partner Foundation
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 ~~.~~
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the financial statements ~~.~~
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 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 ~~.~~
« the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 7, the Trustees 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 charity'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 charity 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.
Page 9
God My Silent Partner Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of God My Silent Partner Foundation
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non ~~-~~ compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud ~~.~~ The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
¢ Enquiries of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to: ~~-~~ identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non ~~-~~ compliance ~~-~~ detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and ~~-~~ the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non ~~-~~ compliance of laws and regulations; and
-
¢ Discussions among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud ~~.~~
-
¢ We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements ~~.~~ The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011, Bribery Act 2010, Data protection Act 2018, Employment Law. Health and Safety Legislation and FRS 102(SORP) ~~.~~
As a result of these procedures, we considered the particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement due to fraud were in respect of revenue recognition, complex related party transactions and management override. Our procedures to respond to risk identified include the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements ~~.~~
-
testing to ensure completeness of donations and accuracy & existence of charitable expenses.
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
¢ in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of any journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the charity's operations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.f ~~r~~ c. ~~o~~ rg. ~~u~~ k/auditorsresponsibilities ~~.~~ This description forms part of our auditor's report ~~.~~
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trustees those matters we are required to state to Trustees in an auditors’ 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 charity and its Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
