3. Structure, governance and management
Ansari Welfare Trust (UK), (AWT (UK)), was formally registered as company limited by guarantee through memorandum and articles of association on 20 July 2006, which was amended on 9th April 2007 following its application with the Charity Commission and was registered on to the Charity register on 3rd May 2007. The trust is governed by the memorandum and articles of association as amended on 9th April 2007. Currently, we employ one fulltime worker (Manager) and two part-time workers to run the charity shop in Bradford. All the AWT (UK) trustees offer their time for the trust in a voluntary capacity. This report covers the period from 1% August 2024 to 31* July 2025.
Charitable objects of the trust are:
-
a) To advance the education of the hearing-impaired pupils at the Kashmir Institute of Special Education (KISE), Mirpur, Azad Kashmir in all possible ways. For example, by providing financial assistance, resources, and technical help. To provide support, as necessary, to schools providing education for hearing impaired pupils in Bradford, West Yorkshire or other similar schools for the hearing impaired in Birmingham, West Midlands, or other schools which cater for physically impaired or mentally retarded children in Azad Kashmir.
-
b) To advance education and training of widows, orphans, young adults, and men and women of low-income families, in vocational training centres in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir in skills as the trustees deem fit.
-
c) To advance the education of pupils from low-income families and the financially destitute living in Mirpur or other areas of Azad Kashmir through the provision of school and examination fees, books, scholarships, or such other expenses connected with their education as the trustees deem appropriate.
-
d) The relief and assistance of people in Mirpur and other regions of Azad Kashmir who are the victims of natural disaster, trouble, or catastrophe by the supply of medical aid, food, shelter and relief to such persons.
4. Financial Review
The total income for the trust from 1°' August 2024 to 31% July 2025 was £88,179 and the total expenditure for this period was £90,187. The source of the income was through personal donations from members of the public who were aware of the activities of the trust and from sales in the charity shop from items donated by the public. The audited accounts are attached to this report.
We would like to thank all our donors, supporters, and well-wishers who kindly donated items to the charity shop.
5. Activity
During this year, the trust had four part-time employees in the UK anda total of 21 paid employees in Mirpur (17 for KISE and 4 for the AWT office). One KISE staff appointed has disabilities. We had 126 pupils on register from the age 6 to 23 years (62 girls and 64 boys). The rented hostel premises are providing accommodation for pupils who come from outside Mirpur.
The school activities have started to normalise after Covid-19 with modified syllabus. The continuation of online classes for Matric (Part 1 and 2) students during Covid-19 ensured that pupils were well prepared for their examinations.
More focus on pupils who were lagging, repetition of previous activities, increase in usage of visual aids and involvement of parents all combined to help to improve the educational quality and standards.
During the year, KISE various staff as part of their professional development were encouraged to attend different training courses, as follows. Staff received two-week Professional Development and one day Skill Development at workshops in Mirpur. Staff also received one-week National Training Course on “Role of Sports in Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities” at NISE, Islamabad.
The continued academic success of KISE pupils reflects the quality and standard of the teaching and learning given to these hearing and speech impaired pupils by the sheer dedication, effort and hard work of KISE staff. The Trustees would like to record their appreciation of the hard work to date of all the KISE and AWT staff, which has allowed our pupils to attain educational success.
During the period of this annual report, one student appeared in the Intermediate Level in Punjab Board of Technical Education and passed. Seven KISE students passed the Secondary Certificate of Examinations, with Alina Shafiq achieving 83% marks. Annual KISE Exams, all students promoted to their next Level. Teaching methods have been introduced to help students increase their understanding with activity-based learning. The school syllabus was also modified for Intellectual Disabled students, along with increasing the strength of communication sign language. The Speech Therapy Lab has also been refurbished. A separate classroom has been established for intellectually deficient (ID) students, alongside a new syllabus for them. A former student of KISE, Tayyaba Majeed passed her B.A degree from Faisalabad University.
The annual KISE Sports Day was held in October at the recently rented KISE Farmhouse. KISE students also participated in several public events.
;
We have also started providing special services for the community, which include speech therapy session for the public, sign language interpretation and internship programs for university students.
During the year KISE pupils undertook several activities and KISE was honoured from visits from many important distinguished guests from Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and the UK dignitaries, who commented on the great work that KISE staff were undertaking.
Application has been for Gift Aid has been submitted and we are wating for confirmation. Administrative requirements for all charities operating in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan receiving foreign funding for the past three years have meant that we have been unable to send funds, and we are not sure how long this process will take to complete before our bank in Mirpur is allowed to receive funds from the UK. Due to newly implemented rules by State Bank of Pakistan, money from our UK bank account cannot be sent to the Trust account in Mirpur. The process has started and staff in Mirpur are complying with the local and national authorities for information that is being requested from us and once the process is complete, we hope to receive a ‘no objection certificate’ from the Government of Pakistan allowing us to send funds again.
6. Plans for the future
Future plans for the trust are:
-
a) charity fund raising event(s), b) seek to purchase land to build the new multi-purpose schoo! complex with the training centre and hostel facilities, as we have been waiting for over 8 years for approval from the Government of Azad Jammu Kashmir to release the legal documents for the land that they had given to the Trust to build the school,
-
c) continue to ensure that academic standards are maintained and that more pupils achieve success in public examinations,
-
d) look at other ways of increasing the awareness of the Trust, e) continued training and development of KISE staff, such as use of different and sophisticated teaching methodologies,
-
f) providing healthy recreational activities for KISE students, and g) Improve the KISE Sewing Centre and enhance art and craft vocational activities. h) Upgrading KISE Farmhouse Playground for students’ sports activities. i) Graduation Level Education for female students, j) Activity based learning to boost creativity skills, k) Parent-Teacher collaboration to improve student work habits, attitude, and school grades through training workshops, and

1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment
over 5 years
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
