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 continues to be pursued with especial vigour in connection with the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded following the armed intervention into Ukrainian territory by Russian military forces, now entering its fifth year. 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 continues to be 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 2025/26** Following the start of the armed conflict in the territory of Ukraine on 24th February 2022, the humanitarian need for ambulances, medical aid and other support for the civilian population of Ukraine has continued unabated into a fourth full year of operations for the charity. In Surrey, the charity has continued to support Ukrainian refugees through the free provision of office space for the “Ukrainian Hub”, run by the Epsom Refugee Network Charity, providing the opportunity to socialise, receive donated clothing and household goods, attend free English classes provided by the local college, and speak to various service providers who attend weekly. This Hub continues to be attended by Hosts and remains ongoing. No one is paid a wage — not the trustees, the committee, or the volunteers — so no cash from funds goes to pay wages, other than a small percentage on marketing. This means that almost all the money raised goes to support the charity’s projects directly.

Page 5 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 - Continued support of Ukrainian women in Gdansk, Poland, via volunteer David Muggleton. ## **Local Community Benefits and Volunteering** - A local packaging-testing company continues to donate undamaged returned items, many of which (lighting, cooking utensils, children’s toys) are sent to Ukraine for humanitarian use. - Surplus items are passed to local schools via their PTAs (musical instruments, tuck shop goods) and to other local charities for use as raffle and tombola prizes, generating small cash donations in return. - Equipment such as wheelchairs is loaned short-term locally and, on return, sent on to Ukraine. - The charity has retained a large number of loyal volunteers while also recruiting new ones; a few have gone on to find paid local employment as a result of the experience and skills gained while volunteering. - Continued recycling of cardboard boxes from shops in the Ashley Centre, together with repair and recycling of laptops, computers, tablets and mobile phones. - Around 20 Ukrainian Guests regularly attend cleaning and repair “work parties” for donated mobility aids before dispatch — gatherings that have become valued social occasions in their own right, now also attracting Surrey-based Ukrainians from as far afield as Sutton. - Volunteers continue to assist local Ukrainian Guests directly, including driving to hospitals, airports, exhibitions and appointments, and providing logistic support where a car or van is needed. ## _**What Checks Do We Do?**_ We make reasonable endeavours to ensure our aid ends up in the right place. ## **Checks before goods leave the UK:** - Confirmation of organisation registered status through Opendatabot. - Independent review and check by a Ukrainian legal professional. - Confirmation in writing from direct beneficiaries about the intended use. - Regular calls with beneficiary organisations. - No dual-use goods are exported to Ukraine. - All donated goods are checked in the Hub before dispatch. ## **Checks at the Ukraine border:** - Packing lists identifying all boxes on a van are provided to the driver, in English and Ukrainian. - Customs declarations completed for goods being transferred. - Letters of donation and acceptance of goods provided for all van loads, in English and Ukrainian. ## **Follow-up in Ukraine:** - Photos of goods being received and delivered to end beneficiaries (hospitals, homes, shelters, etc.). - Receipts are provided for purchases made using donated funds. Page 6 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 ## _**Ukrainian Refugee Help – 2025/26 Highlights**_ ## **Local Ukrainian Community Support** - Maintained a 230+ member Facebook group sharing jobs, events, housing and policy updates relevant to Ukrainians. - Regular Thursday evening drop-in sessions offering face-to-face support, refurbished laptops (via Dons Local Action Group), and English grammar/conversation classes. - Larger social events including a supper night attended by around 50 people and a Christmas pantomime performed in Ukrainian by the Ukrainian Youth Theatre — 18 young performers based in Richmond — attended by around 70 people and described as extremely well performed and uplifting. - Cultural and outdoor trips to Wisley, Blenheim Palace, the seaside and Windsor Castle, each attended by around 55 people, with several venues generously offering reduced or free entry as a show of support for Ukrainians. - Strong participation alongside other charities in Merton Council’s application to be a Borough of Sanctuary, providing robust engagement and constructive challenge to ensure the process went beyond a ‘tick-box’ exercise. ## **National Ukrainian Community Support** - Continued operation of a well-regarded national website, developed by LifeTools digital agency on a largely pro bono basis, covering key topics for Ukrainians in the UK. - Continued regular newsletter, now reaching around 6,500 subscribers. - Responded to website queries on navigating complex UK rules and policies, correcting misinformation and highlighting cases where councils were falling short of MHCLG guidance. - Active participation in a virtual network of around 50 similar grassroots organisations — many led by Ukrainians themselves — exchanging news, campaign information and media requests. - A major Freedom of Information campaign submitted requests to all 150 local councils in England on how Government funding for Ukrainian support had been spent, with particular focus on support into the private rented sector following the end of hosting arrangements. Results were mixed: some councils used funding proactively and well, while a significant number held onto funds and did the bare minimum. With thanks to our generous supporters — Merton Connected, the National Lottery, the Henry Smith Foundation and LifeTools — without whose funded or pro bono help the above would be considerably more challenging to deliver. ## **Financial Review** Total income for the year was £141,797 (2024/25: £79,206) and total expenditure was £154,693 (2024/25: £161,010), giving a net expenditure for the year of £(12,897), following net expenditure of £(81,804) in 2024/25. Funds carried forward at 1 March 2026 were £84,666 (2024/25: £97,563). Both the current and prior year reflect net expenditure rather than net income, as the charity has continued to draw on reserves built up in earlier years to sustain its level of humanitarian activity. The charity’s public fundraising visibility was also affected during the year by the withdrawal of permission to maintain a full-time kiosk in the Ashley Centre, Epsom — a condition that had originally come with the charity’s rent-free licence to occupy its premises there — which the trustees consider to have been a contributing factor to the level of income raised. Page 7 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 As with prior years, no Government grants have been received, and the local authority and business rates for the Hub premises have largely been exempted. The Director continues to maintain a detailed bookkeeping record of all financial transactions, viewable live online (together with bank statements) by key volunteers and trustees, maintaining a high degree of transparency. ## **Future Plans for 2026/27** The charity intends to continue supplying humanitarian aid to civilians affected by the armed conflict in Ukraine, and to maintain support for Ukrainian refugees who have fled to the UK. This is expected to include continuing the supply of specialist medical items such as Negative Pressure Wound Dressings and Hemostatic products, ongoing mobility aid logistics in partnership with SUEZ and Vans Without Borders, and continued support for Ukrainian community integration through the Hub and URH’s national and local programmes. Land-mine clearance support did not progress during 2025/26. The trustees will continue to explore whether there is a fit with mine-clearance operators in the year ahead. ## **Trustees Responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Articles of Association requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of accounting practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; - Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in existence. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the Articles of Association. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **Approval** This report was approved by the trustees on 2[nd] July 2026 And signed on their behalf by Lionel Blackman LLB MA Solicitor Director and Secretary to the Charity Page 8 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 ## **Statement of Financial Activities** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1st March 2026** Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Company No. 05916493 — Charity Regn No 1117155 ||**2025/2026 (£)**|**2024/2025 (£)**| |---|---|---| |**INCOME**||| |Donations and Legacies|141,797|79,206| |Investments|0|0| |Charitable Activities|0|0| |**TOTAL INCOME**|**141,797**|**79,206**| |**EXPENDITURE ON:**||| |Salaries|0|0| |Charitable Activities|154,693|161,010| |Investments|0|0| |**TOTAL EXPENDITURE**|**154,693**|**161,010**| |**NET INCOME/(EXPENDITURE)**|**(12,897)**|**(81,804)**| |OTHER RECOGNISED GAINS/(LOSSES)|0|0| |Funds brought forward|97,562|179,366| |**TOTAL FUNDS CARRIED FORWARD**|**84,665**|**97,562**| _All of the organisation’s operations are classed as continuing._ Page 9 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 ## **Balance Sheet** ## **AS AT 1st MARCH 2026** Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Company No. 05916493 — Charity Regn No 1117155 ||**1 Mar-26 (£)**|**1 Mar-25 (£)**| |---|---|---| |**Fixed Assets**||| |Tangible assets|0|0| |**Current Assets**||| |Debtors|0|0| |Cash at bank and in hand|84,666|97,563| |Stock|0|0| |**Total Current Assets**|**84,666**|**97,563**| |Creditors: amounts falling due within one year|0|0| |**TOTAL ASSETS less current liabilities**|**84,666**|**97,563**| |**Funds of the Charity**||| |General Funds|24,961|27,976| |Designated Funds|—|—| |Restricted Funds (medical aid)|—|9,254| |Surrey Stands With Ukraine|53,559|53,292| |Ukrainian Refugee Help|6,146|7,040| |**Total Funds**|**84,666**|**97,563**| Approved by the Trustees on [DATE TO BE CONFIRMED] Signed on their behalf by Lionel Blackman LLB MA Page 10 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 ## **Statement of Cashflows** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1st March 2026** Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Company No. 05916493 — Charity Regn No 1117155 |**Operating Activities**|**2025/2026 (£)**|**2024/2025 (£)**| |---|---|---| |Net Income|(12,897)|(81,804)| |Depreciation and Amortisation|0|0| |Increase/(Decrease) in Accounts Receivable|0|0| |Increase/(Decrease) in Accounts Payable|0|0| |Other working capital adjustments|0|0| |**Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities**|**(12,897)**|**(81,804)**| |Investing Activities|0|0| |Financing Activities|0|0| |**Net Change in Cash**|**(12,897)**|**(81,804)**| |Beginning Cash Balance|97,563|179,300| |**Ending Cash Balance**|**84,666**|**97,563**| Page 11 Harrop HR Missions Ltd — Annual Report 2025/26 ## **Notes to the Financial Statements** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 1st MARCH 2026** ## **1. Accounting Policies** ## **Basis of preparation:** The financial statements of the charity have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) — (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and applicable accounting standards. Harrop HR Missions Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## **Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis** Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. ## **Changes to accounting estimates** No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. ## **Material prior period errors and changes to previous accounts** Incorrect balances were entered into the 2024/2025 accounts through incorrect accounting of internal transfers between the Charity’s two bank accounts and including income brought forward as income. ## **2. Income Recognition** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: - the charity becomes entitled to the income; - it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Income with related expenditure** Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. ## **Grants and Donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). ## **Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts** Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
