Achievements and performance
IRAQ
Following the end of the violent conflict brought on by ISIL/ISIS, Iraq has been working towards a sustained national stabilisation, through economic and social recovery. Recovery efforts have targeted members of society at all levels and within all facets, with particular emphasis given to the efforts focused on supporting disenfranchised and marginalized groups. Development actors working in the region had established a consensus in 2023 that in order to promote a sustainable cohesive recovery in Iraq, a focus must be given to the reintegration of marginalised groups. This consensus carried through to 2024 and was seen to impact the strategies of many actors, including HRF. Reintegration efforts focusing on livelihood strengthening, social cohesion, and Mental Health and Psycho-Social Support (MHPSS) were of particular importance in areas that were heavily impacted by the conflict.
MHPSS
HRF made significant strides in 2024 in both personnel knowledge and capacity, in regard to the implementation of MHPSS focused projects. This progress was demonstrated by the successful Members in Ninewa, Anbar, Kirkuk, and Sala al50 beneficiaries - half of whom were Al Hol Camp returnees and the other half host community members - the project effectively leveraged the positive impact of MHPSS programmes to support the reintegration of vulnerable returnees. Providing 750 individuals with MHPSS including psychoeducation, group and individual sessions based on the severity of the trauma, as well as training on life and emotional skills. The project fostered the resilience of the beneficiaries and their families so that they may be able to better integrate into their communities. Importantly the project rehabilitated two community-based centers to provide these MHPSS services. Throughout the project, HRF staff enhanced their understanding of MHPSS programmes, including their core components, implementation requirements, future.
Livelihoods
Sustainable economic growth and social development has been a key driver of HRFs interventions. In 2024, HRF continued the implementation of a number of livelihood focused interventions in Iraq to help achieve this. This included the successful conclusion of HRFs collaboration with UN Women, titled P women impacted by crises, displacement, and disasters due to climate change and exacerbated food insecurity by taking urgent actions to deal with the increasing risks, enabling them to contribute to, and benefit from, disaster risk reduction inclusive of Economic Recovery by strengthening Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Baqubah District, Diyala d in 2024, marking their achievement of the objectives established in 2023.
The HRF/UNWomen project aimed to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable women impacted by crises, displacement, and disasters due to climate change and food insecurity, and enabling them to contribute introduction of green initiatives within female led businesses, by equipping beneficiaries with green innovative skills, business management, capacity building training and awareness raising sessions.

Under these projects HRF is able to provide support in various sectors, such as food security and general humanitarian assistance (i.e. Non-Food Items). The success of these projects is best demonstrated by the scale of their impact. For example, the 2024 Ramadan Project delivered a total of 1080 food baskets, 200 hot meals, 400 student iftars, 200 Eid gifts, and Zakat to 20 families.

PAKISTAN
Faced with tackling overlapping challenges, relative to economic, political, social, and environmental issues, 2024 in Pakistan was marked by many hardships. Despite modest GDP growth, soaring inflation and inequality have deepened poverty and hardship, especially in underserved regions like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Girls and children face severe risks, including child marriage, abuse, and limited access to education and healthcare. Nearly half the population is under 18, but many children remain undocumented, out of school, or malnourished, with 40% stunted and thousands missing vaccinations. Social programmes like BISP and education funds offer vital support but suffer from unequal reach. Meanwhile, digital gaps, underfunded health systems, and vulnerability to climate disasters add to the strain. Refugees and children with disabilities face especially harsh conditions[1] . Though progress is being made through targeted initiatives, vast inequalities and systemic barriers

Human Relief Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Human Relief Foundation
Year ended 31 December 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Human Relief Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
The information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
The trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
Adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
Certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Human Relief Foundation (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias;
-
Performing audit work over the timing and recognition of revenue and in particular whether it has been recorded in the correct accounting period; and
-
Considering whether any restrictions on income are properly identified and that expenditure allocated to restricted income is appropriate.

Human Relief Foundation
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Human Relief Foundation (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2024
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report ~~.~~ However, future events or conditions may cause the charity t o cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Company information
The Charity is limited by guarantee, with the liability of members limited to £1 per member. The charity is registered in England and Wales with the Charity Commission and in Scotland with the Scottish Charity Regulator. The registered office is 2-4 Claremont, Bradford, BD7 1BQ.
If, upon winding up or dissolution of the charity, there remain any assets after satisfying all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having objectives similar to the charity.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis 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) (effe Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Human Relief Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
group accounts the charitable company has taken advantage of certain exemptions conferred by section 1.11 of FRS 102 as follows:
- Exemption from presenting a charitable company statement of cash flows as a primary statement to the financial statements.
1.2 Going concern
The Trustees recognise that the charity has negative unrestricted funds but positive funds overall. Measures were put in place late 2023 to try and alter the balance between restricted and unrestricted donations and the Trustees recognise that further actions need to be taken, which will be done early 2025. Given the charity has a successful track record of fundraising, the Trustees anticipate that the charity will be able to generate the additional unrestricted funds necessary to reverse the negative unrestricted position but that this will be through 2025.
Given the above and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the authorisation of these financial statements, together with the overall level of reserves and cash at bank, the Trustees bel Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
1.3 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Delta One Investments Limited, on a line-by-line basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
31 December 2024
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attaching to the item(s) have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Where grant income has been received, but the charity has not met the conditions to become entitled to the income, an income deferral is made.
Donated goods and services
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity, which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
ised at the point of sale. As a result of the high volume of low value donated goods received, the cost of recognising these items at fair value on receipt would outweigh the benefit of recognising them in the accounts.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the value of volunteer time is not recognised in the financial statements.
Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably, normally upon notification of interest paid or payable by the Bank. Rents from investment properties are included when they are receivable by the charity.
1.5 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are 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 a particular purpose. Where no on-going restriction remains and all original conditions and restrictions have been met in relation to the original grant or donation, funds are transferred to general funds. The purpose and use of the restricted funds is set out in note 12.
1.6 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been apportioned on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
The cost of raising funds includes fundraising event costs, direct campaigns, general information and public relation costs and their associated support costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities relates to expenditure in furthe including grants awarded and associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which expenditure was incurred.
23
Human Relief Foundation
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
31 December 2024
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity and include administration, finance, human resources, information systems and governance costs. These costs have been allocated between the costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis set out in note 4.
1.7 Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.
1.8 Staff costs
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense where settlement of obligations does not fall within the same period.
Employee severance pay is recognised within the accounts, on an accruals basis, in the year in which the employee left the organisation.
1.9 Investments
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently, it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost and the trustees review the carrying value annually for indications of impairment.
Investments in Bitcoin are carried at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.10 Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are included on a historical cost basis. It is a policy of the trustees that individual items with a cost below £500 are not capitalised.
Depreciation is provided at the following rates and bases to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets and no charge in the year of disposal:
Freehold buildings 2% straight line Leasehold buildings 20% straight line Fixtures and fittings 20% straight line Motor vehicles 20%reducing balance Computer equipment 25% straight line
Freehold land is not depreciated.

1.12 Financial instruments
Financial instrumen contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity held for working capital. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowing in current liabilities.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset. Impairment losses are recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Creditors, loans and provisions
Creditors, loans and provisions are recognised where the group has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors, loans and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
cancelled or they expire.
Amounts recognised as provisions are best estimates of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
1.13 Taxation
Human Relief Foundation is a registered charity and as such is a charity within the meaning of schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially entitled to tax exemption under part11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of income and gains arising.
The trading subsidiary is liable to corporation tax on its chargeable profits. Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. Low levels of corporation tax arise on the subsidiary as profits are gift aided to the charity.
1.14 Foreign currency
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to statement of financial activities

1.15 Pensions
The group operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of employees. Contributions are charged as an expense to the statement of financial activities in the period in which they fall due.
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows:
Accrued income
Accrued income has been included within these financial statements when its receipt is considered probable. Management assesses the probability of its receipts by considering contracts and agreements in place, current relationships with funders and, where applicable, work performed.
