The charity trades under the name A.C.E.R.O.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
During the period the Trust operated in accordance with its stated objectives. The objectives of the Trust are to develop projects within the following fields:
-
The advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the beliefs and teachings of the Assyrian Church of the East,
-
The relief of financial hardship, in particular, but not exclusively, in Assyrian Church communities, by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities.
-
The relief of sickness and preservation of good health by providing or assisting in the provision of equipment, facilities and services.
-
The relief and assistance of people in any part of the world who are the victims of war or natural disaster, trouble or catastrophe.
-
The promotion of religious harmony by:
i. Educating the public in different religious beliefs including an awareness of their distinctive features and their common ground to promote good relations between persons of different faiths,
ii. promoting knowledge and mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs and practices of different religious faiths.
There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
The charity provides accommodation, relief materials and food items to refugees.
During the year, ACERO continued to deliver activities that provide clear public benefit in line with its charitable objectives.
The charity’s primary focus has been supporting youth groups within the Church, helping young people develop life skills, build confidence, and prepare for future opportunities. Activities included structured mentoring, group sessions, and skill-building programmes designed to foster personal growth.
ACERO also provided support to vulnerable individuals in the community, including those experiencing hardship, serious illness, or displacement. This included financial assistance through grants and practical support to help meet immediate needs.
A major development during the year was the establishment of the first elders’ home in the region connected to the Church, providing a supportive and stable environment for older community members.
Through these combined activities, ACERO continues to deliver tangible benefits to a range of community members. The Trustees confirm that all activities are aligned with the charity’s objectives and provide public benefit in accordance with Charity Commission guidance.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
During the year assistance was provided for many families in Iraq and Jordan. The trust has managed to help hundreds of families with financial aid, food parcels and basic amenities such as heating and essential medical care and it is our aim to continue this in the coming year.
The Trustees are pleased with the progress made during the year in delivering the charity’s objectives and supporting the community.
Key achievements include:
-
Continued engagement with youth groups, supporting personal development and life skills
-
Assistance to individuals and families in need, including those facing serious illness, displacement, or financial hardship
-
The successful establishment of the first elders’ home in the region, representing a significant step in supporting older community members
The charity measures its impact through engagement, outreach, and feedback from beneficiaries, ensuring that activities deliver meaningful outcomes. These efforts reflect ACERO’s ongoing commitment to supporting its community and enhancing the wellbeing of those it serves.
The Trustees remain committed to continuing and expanding these activities while maintaining transparency and accountability in reporting.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations on a regular basis at their board meetings.
c. Financial Review
As of 31 July 2025, the charity held fund balances comprising £157,182 (2024:£113,889) of restricted funds (excluding fixed assets) and £133,174 (2024:£235,764) of general unrestricted funds. The Fixed Assets of £1,026,254 (2024: £958,438) are not available for spending as it represents the net book value of fixed assets.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Assyrian Church of the East Relief Organization ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1. General information
The charity was formed through a constitution dated 19 September 2007 and commenced activity on that date. The Constitution was last updated with approval from the CC on 7 May 2022. The principal object of the charity is to provide accommodation, feeding and emergency relief to war refugees and those suffering from any form of disaster in any part of the world.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Assyrian Church of the East Relief Organization meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Income
All income is recognized once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognized at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognized once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalized and recognized when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognized at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives,
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold Property - 2% Straight line
2.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognized at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognized when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognized at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognized at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
The Restricted General Fund is used to support the general operating and support costs of charity. The Restricted Dohuk Apartment and Care Home Fund represent the Fixed Asset Fund and reflects the net book value of the charity’s fixed assets, amounting to £1,026,254 (2024: £958,438). When fixed assets are purchased, the fund is increased by the cost of those assets. The fund is subsequently reduced by the annual depreciation charge relating to those assets.
During the year, the charity received £56,838 from the Barnabas Fund to support the expansion and equipping of the team in Dohuk. This amount has been carried forward to the following year.
Unrestricted Funds represent balances held at the year end that may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.
