|**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**||
||As mentioned in section C above, AHDT has not engage in its usual
medical outreach programmes in the last two years due to the Coronavirus
pandemic and its aftermath. However, it partnered with a local charity on
the gound in Northern Nigeria, the Foundation for Refugee Economic
Empowerment (FREE) in the_Supporting the Fight Against Malaria in_
_Northern Nigeria Project_, which is a community-based health initiative that
seeks to protect rural poor people, particularly those under the age of 5,
from the devastating impact of malaria on their lives. The programme is in
its second year.
Under the intervention, AHDT through local donors, provided FREE with
malaria drugs, specifically**5000 packs of Cartef 20/120**(each pack with
24 tablets) for distribution in five (5) Northern Nigerian States (Bauchi,
Taraba, Kebbi, Zamfara and Katsina). FREE identified the communities for
implementation, devised the project targeting criteria, and distributed the
medications to people in need, along with sensitization on malaria
prevention. The breakdown is as follows: Bauchi (800), Taraba (800),
Kebbi (200), Zamfara (1200) and Katsina (2000). Beneficiaries were
primarily IDPs, widows, orphans and the less privileged. It is estimated that
the project reached approximately 35,000 individuals (based on Cluster
standard of approximately 7 persons per HH) who live in high risk
hyperendemic malaria areas and constantly face life-threatening episodes
of malaria attack.
During the year, AHDT also disbursed a total of**£20,000.00**to AYTAM
Orphanage/School, an orphanage and school in Zaria, Kaduna State,
northern Nigeria, that has been a beneficiary of specific donations from
one of AHDT’s patrons and proprietor of Wise Pharmacy in Manchester.
A similarly disbursement of**£16,000.00**from another AHDT patron/donor
was made to a project supporting orphans’ welfare in Gumel, Jigawa State,
northern Nigeria.
AHDT also disbursed funds worth**£70,000.00**to University of Manchester
for Hydrocephalus research, which the charity is partnering on with the
University.|

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1ST APRIL 2021 TO 31ST MARCH 2022**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on pages **3** to **6** .
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- i. Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act.
- ii. Follow the procedures laid down in the general directives given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- iii. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directives given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the account.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022**
## **1. Statement of Management Committee Responsibilities**
The management committee is required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the AHDT and of the Income and Expenditure of the AHDT for the period. In preparing those financial statements the management committee are required to:

- b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- c) Prepare the statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the AHDT will continue in operation.
The management committee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the AHDT and enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with regulatory requirements. They are also responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **2. Basis of Accounting**
The accounts are prepared on a basis consistent with that of previous years. A receipt and payment basis is used under the historical cost convention subject to provision made for sundry debtors and accruals of expenditure relating to the year.
## **3. Donations**
