Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects
The Humanitarian Logistics Association (HLA) is a non-profit, international membership association for humanitarian logistics professionals and organisations that respond to take relief to and create infrastructure for those affected by global emergencies.
The objectives of the charity are reported on the Charity Commission website as:
a. Discussion, information and knowledge sharing focal point for individual humanitarian logisticians and organisations involved in humanitarian transport and logistics; and
b. The networking of volunteers abroad.
HLA is a professional association with a global network. Its expertise is focused on knowledge sharing to improve practice in the field of humanitarian logistics. As a non-operational (non-deploying) entity, the Charity works in the area of emergency preparedness by advising individuals on career development and facilitating dialogue and connections within and between multiple sectors. For over 13 years HLA has engaged through capacity strengthening and innovation projects, which most recently have been focused on both East Africa and Europe. Our funding sources are via membership subscriptions and project grants from institutional donors or through partners.
Mission
Empowered logisticians drive cross sector solutions that are locally sustainable and globally enabled to deliver aid more effectively.
The HLA is focussed on achieving three key outcomes:
1. Policy change
We work through hosted Advocacy Groups - such as the Local Procurement Learning Partnership - with donors, aid organisations, private and public sectors to help them improve their supply chain management policies to enable improved aid delivery.
2. Market Transparency
We support shared marketplaces which are recognised and used by all sectors involved in aid delivery, enabling resource efficiencies and better supported local businesses.
3. Empowered logisticians
We facilitate evidence and knowledge generated via projects, research and case studies to be shared to improve awareness and provoke mind-set changes, enabling individual skills and organisational supply chain design improvements.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
The trustees are pleased to confirm that HLA has fully complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act, having due regard to guidance on 'public benefit' as published by the Charity Commission.
Volunteers
HLA has assisted its membership and stakeholders through the engagement of many highly motivated volunteers, through benefits in kind and through other non-financial transactions.
The Trustees are extremely pleased that the Association has been able to develop as an organisation and deliver value to its members and are grateful to the team of volunteers who have given up their time to support the HLA's activities.
Volunteers that served during the reporting period were:
-
Andrew Parkes (Operations)
-
Tikhwi Muyundo (Africa rep.)
-
Guy Dunkerley (Chief Operating Officer, from February 2025)
Partnerships
HLA's key partner during 2024 has been UNICEF.
In addition to IT and web site hosting services for which fees were paid, Umbrella Development provided significant in-kind specialist website support.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This annual report serves to update the HLA's position since the last annual report in 2023:
2024 saw the continuation of business planning activities that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted revisions to the ways in which HLA engaged with its network. Subsequently, the Association has delivered on its objectives of:
a. Being an independent, organisation for the professional development of humanitarian logisticians, and humanitarian logistics more broadly;
b. Providing a neutral forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience;
c. Also, HLA has continued to work to develop best practice and standards for humanitarian logistics and has acted as a forum for connections to the humanitarian logistics community of practice via individual and corporate membership.
The HLA remains the premier sector-wide body focused on humanitarian logisticians and continues to seek to facilitate systemic changes to the sector's efficiency and effectiveness, since logistics remain the second largest cost for humanitarian organisations.
Review of Achievements against Outcomes (Impact Areas)
The key elements of the Association's Impact Model are aligned to the five-year strategy 2021 to 2025. In their work on the HLA strategy, trustees reviewed the Outcome Areas.
Impact Area 1 - Policy Change
Local Procurement Learning Partnership (LPLP)
This is a multi-stakeholder initiative, seeking to improve the timely, relevant, and efficient use of local procurement in humanitarian response and resiliency building activities.
-
In 2023, HLA received innovation accelerator funding from the H2H network to conduct baseline research for the development of a local procurement learning framework (LPLF). In early 2024, HLA published a paper 'Local Procurement Framework: Enabling Aid agencies to transform their procurement systems to better support local projects and markets design' to highlight the initial findings and outline for the LPLF.
-
Findings identified that effective and appropriate local procurement / sourcing cannot be achieved by a single entity or sector approach. There needs to be high level of continuous collaboration to achieve results that would make a difference. A system building effort would augment (and potentially replace) the current aid sector approach.
-
An outline plan was developed for longer-term project to create the Local Procurement Learning Framework in other countries. HLA is seeking follow on funding to further develop the framework.

Humanitarian Logistics Association
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
Impact Area 2 - Market Transparency
-
HLA been collaborating with UNICEF Supply Division and Office of Innovation since 2023 under a project 'Kits that Fit' using funding from the Norwegian Government's Humanitarian Innovation Fund to conduct research and case studies on the 'Mass Customisation of Emergency Kits'. The contract is held by UNICEF with HLA acting as project facilitator and cooperating partner.
-
During 2024, HLA supported efforts to localise emergency kit customization in Kenya. While the benefits are yet to be fully realized the project asks crisis affected people what they need, enabling feedback on the items in their kit, and improving supply chain visibility.
-
While feedback on humanitarian assistance is part of monitoring and evaluation in different countries, current systems do not allow affected populations to share feedback on the emergency items they receive. Furthermore, local businesses and private sector actors do not have access to this feedback and thus miss out on opportunities to target or improve their services for better emergency response and preparedness.
-
The Kits that Fit project is introducing innovative WASH items to UNICEF's humanitarian responses, by localising procurement with local businesses. Rather than generic kits sourced globally, HLA is helping the project to procure and prepare kits locally, increase supply chain resilience, reduce wastage and support local markets.
-
Due to the success of the Kits that Fit project, and increased interest within UNICEF to scale up the initiative, the project extended until mid 2025.
Impact Area 3 - Empowered Logisticians:
-
Work-in-kind in this area has again been a focus of activity in 2024. HLA has continued to keep members informed of logistics news and events through newsletters and emails and via the HLA website.
-
There was no annual conference in 2024, and instead we took the opportunity to partner with Messe München India to hold a conference as part of the Air Cargo and Logistics Africa event in Nairobi, Kenya on 21 February 2025.
-
During the year, HLA convened several meetings and webinars for stakeholders from business, aid and academia.
-
Newsletters - Regular newsletters have been produced successfully. Content was managed by our volunteer communications and marketing team.
-
Social media followers - HLA shares articles, information and knowledge via its social media channels, which have seen a significant increase in followers from 2019 to 2024.
-
A new publication, HLA Digest was launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. The aim is to carry informative and interesting articles by members and associated organisations; and contributions are always welcome to it.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
- A wholly owned subsidiary, HLA Connect was founded in June 2024, as a Community Interest Company. The purpose is to be able to widen the scope of activities and partnerships open to HLA, and to enable it to deliver its mission in a wider range of activities. Its initial officers are George Fenton and Andrew Parkes, with Chris Aworth as Secretary.
Lessons from 2024:
Focus remains on delivering high quality content and regular network communications. While the reliance on volunteers to support this has been successful, it has led to peaks and troughs in activities. Going forward, a core team of remunerated staff is needed to ensure consistency of resource and activity across the year.
The Trustees recognise the need for a digital strategy, greater board engagement, and sustainable revenue.
Projects during 2024 have proven to be highly valuable and a good way to support the HLA's advocacy groups.
2024 has been a consolidation year in terms of membership, with plans made to enhance the range of services and benefits to members by updating and improving the website and other support facilities. A key requirement is to attract additional core funding to professionalise and sustain the organisation.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
In 2024, the Trustees have reviewed HLA's financial controls and feel that the segregation of the roles of Financial Controller (accountant/bookkeeper) and a Finance Director continue to be robust given the increasing sums being handled by the Charity.
Year ended 31 Dec 2024
Free Reserves £3,226 Restricted Reserves £ 5,795 Incoming resources £49,501
The statement of financial activities for 2024 showed an net expenditure of £11,119. This position was due to:
- Investments made in the establishment of HLA Connect, to support future trading capability - A pause in marketing activity to focus efforts on updating membership value, resulting in a reduction in corporate membership subscriptions.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy Rationale:
-
To provide a level of working capital that protects the continuity of core work
-
To provide a level of funding for unexpected opportunities
-
To provide cover for risks (e.g. unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income)
Present and Major Risks
-
Reliance on contributions from a fewer organisations (due to reduced aid funding)
-
Lack of personnel with day-to-day practical involvement
-
Dependency on small number of key individuals to oversee all aspects
Future Risk Factors
-
Management is being bolstered by suitably qualified personnel to share the workload
-
An initial Aid Logistics Annual Conference and Awards event will bring stakeholders together to find common ground and improve aid delivery
-
A revamped website will be launched to include new service offerings to the aid Logistics sector
A detailed review of risks was kept under review during 2024. The Trustees/Directors remain aware of their responsibilities for risk management and seek to identify and then eliminate, ameliorate (through insurance and other mechanisms) or where essential accept and track the risks to HLA with reports of their impact to Trustee/Directors at their meetings. The trustees are aware of the risks to the charity based on the Risk Register built on the advice of the UK Charities Commission, our regulator.
Reserve Calculations
Reserves to cover possible outgoings for 6 months are considered necessary as follows - Decreased corporate involvement £4,719
Other operational costs £5,000 Total £9,719
These figures are based on:
-
The risk of incurring significant unforeseen expenditure that cannot be delayed, and the likely magnitude of such expenditure, and
-
The risk of suffering significant unforeseen loss of income which cannot be replaced in the short term, and the likely magnitude of such a loss
Review of Reserve Requirements
The trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity's continuing obligations on an annual basis prior to an AGM.
In principle, Trustees only authorise projects when 100% of the annual cost is held as a reserve.
When projects are undertaken in foreign currencies, a 10% allowance is made for exchange rate fluctuations.
HLA has a policy, levying a 10% overhead on projects for charitable governance - where feasible and allowable by donors. This was informed by the Charity Commission guideline that proper governance should be in the range between 10-15% of all costs. This policy will be kept under review as the need for in-house and external financial and legal advice grows.

FUTURE PLANS
As well as membership growth and the now regular events of seminars, advocacy group roundtable meetings and the annual Health and Humanitarian Logistics Conference for members and other stakeholders, significant additional developments are expected, including:
-
A second phase of the Kits that Fit project will be carried out during 2025, with funding committed by UNICEF. This work will represent the primary focus of HLA's activity during 2025.
-
Strengthen the Local Procurement Learning Partnership advocacy group through the implementation of further research and knowledge sharing projects. This will include the preparation of funding proposals to support the continuation of research work started in 2023.
-
Explore other project opportunities and funding.
-
Continue to support the humanitarian logistics network through thought leadership initiatives.
-
Explore partnerships / sponsors / donors to support HLA core activities and provide additional funding to allow the employment of dedicated staff in the areas of communications and membership support.
-
Strengthen communications and content development for social media and the website.
-
Build the volunteer base to support HLA administration and the secretariat with the aim to increase income / funding that will enable team remuneration.
-
Obtain sponsorship for the Annual Humanitarian Health and Logistics Conference to support event organisation.
Better and more up to date communications have allowed us better to promulgate the humanitarian logistics lessons and innovations to our community of practice.
