New Hope Relief Trustees’ annual report for the period ended 31 December 2024

Registered charity number 1121099

The Annual Report is fully SORP compliant and sets out how the trustees have met their obligations.

The Financial Statement is fully SORP compliant and includes the incoming resources and resources expended.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are set out in the constitution are summarised as follows:

To advance the education, including secular and religious education of orphans and needy children in the deprived areas of Pakistan;

The relief of poverty of orphans and children in financial need in deprived areas of Pakistan by the provision of accommodation.

Generally charitable activities are limited to helping and supporting two institutions in the region of SWAT, Pakistan. These two schools, Jamia Darul (JDS) and the Jamia Public School (JPS) provide for the religious and secular education of children who attend these institutes. Most of the children who live are poor and come from subordinate backgrounds. NHR provides funds to pay for the accommodation, clothing and nutrition of these children to enable them to acquire learning and knowledge in a safe and quiet environment. In addition, this year we extended our support to three further institutions in Swat: Jamia Darul-Quran wa Al-Hadith, Madrasa Kuliatu Al-Quran, and Madrasa Riyadul Jannah. This support will allow children to pursue a career that makes them self-sufficient, relevant and righteous/civilized members of society.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Activities and achievements

The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims:

The charity has helped children in the form of providing free meals, education, boarding, medicine, clothes and gifts to students.

The charity also contributed to providing salaries to teachers plus auxiliary staff.

Visits

The trustees visit the charities at least once a year, daily contact is maintained and for seasonal projects like Ramadan, winter and qurbani the trustees are there themselves to implement the project.

Structure, governance and management

New Hope Relief is registered as a Charity with The Charity Commission under charity no: 1121099.

The Charity is regulated by declaration of the trust deed dated 5th July 2007 amended 10th September 2008 and 18 July 2012.

This year trusted representatives of the charity inspected the books, records, receipts and projects and are satisfied that the money is being spent properly in line with the charity’s objects. New Hope Relief’s beneficiary is audited by Mustaq Akbar & Co., chartered accountants in Pakistan.

New Hope Relief

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of New Hope Relief

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of New Hope Relief (the Trust) for the period ended 31 December 2024.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

n the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or n the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

n the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement

that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The appointed independent examiner of the trust:

M A Ibrahim (FCCA) for and on behalf of Date: 11/02/2026 M.A.I (Accountants) Limited 7 St Andrews Street Blackburn Lancashire BB1 8AE
