TRUSTEES REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1st MARCH 2025

The trustees present their report and account for the year ended 1st March 2025.

Trustees

Peter Lewis is a former bank manager. Mr Grant Leonard is businessman and managing director of a successful publishing company and Ms Suzy Wainscoat is a practising solicitor of over 30 years experience.

Investment Powers

The Articles authorises the trustees to make, and hold investments using the general funds of the charity but no such investments are presently held.

Constitution, Objectives and Policy

The charity is constituted by Articles and Memorandum of Association as a company limited by guarantee, its objectives are to provide education and training in human rights and raising awareness of international human rights within the legal profession and to relieve the victims of human rights abuses. This latter object being pursued with especial vigour in connection with the humanitarian crisis unfolded following the armed intervention into Ukraine territory by Russian military forces.

The Trust raises its income exclusively from donations from the public, businesses and charitable trusts.

We are using the donated funds to supply humanitarian aid to civilians afflicted by the armed conflict in the territory of Ukraine and supporting Ukrainian refugees residing in the UK after fleeing warfare.

The operational side of the charity’s humanitarian activities were largely managed by two committees operating under the names Surrey Stands With Ukraine (SSWU) and Ukrainian Refugee Help (URH).

These committees answer to the Director of the Charity, solicitor Lionel Blackman, who reports to the trustees.

Development, Activities and Achievements in 2024/25

Following the start of the armed conflict in the territory of Ukraine on 24th February 2022 and arising from the destruction of hospitals and equipment and the injuries to civilians is a humanitarian need for ambulances and other aid to relieve the plight of the public of Ukraine whose right to life and health has been abused by acts committed in the course of an illegal armed invasion.

In Surrey the Charity has supported Ukrainian refugees whose right to family life and privacy has been abused by the illegal invasion and attendant threats to their safety, health and education through the free provision of office space for a “Ukrainian Hub”, run by the Epsom

Refugee Network Charity, providing the opportunity to socialise, be provided with donated clothing and household goods, attend free English classes provided by the local college and speak to various service providers who also attend weekly. This Hub is also attended by Hosts and is ongoing.

A summary of the core activities actioned by the committee of Surrey Stands With Ukraine under the supervision of the Director and trustees follows:

No one is paid a wage, from the trustees, committee and volunteers. So no cash from funds go to pay wages, other than a small percentage on marketing. This means that all the money raised goes to support all our projects directly.

The charity has over 30 active local volunteers from the community across all age ranges and backgrounds. These volunteers have come together and formed very real friendships and a sense of community, not just with each other but the local Ukrainian refugees that have come into the area of Epsom in Surrey where the charity is based. The charity is provided on a peppercorn rent a large suite of offices the charity calls “The Hub”. The Hub has become a community centre which delivers so much good for the area and brings many people into the town centre who spend time and money at local businesses.

Financial Review

The trustees consider the performance of the Charity to be satisfactory and the continuation of donations has made it sustainable. Funds have been raised through donations and attendant Gift Aid.

The Director maintains a detailed bookkeeping record of all financial transactions (every item of income and expenditure) that is viewable live online (together with bank statements) by key volunteers and trustees; thus maintaining a very high degree of transparency.

Future Plans for 2025/26

The Charity continues with the project of supplying humanitarian aid to civilians afflicted by the armed conflict in Ukraine. Support for Ukrainian refugees who have fled to the UK from the war-zone will be maintained.

The charity is focussing on specific medical aid requests form hospitals in Ukraine while collaborating with the Ukraine NGO Kolo Foundation.
