Trustees' Report (continued)
Public benefit
The charity has sought, identified and made donations to small charities involved in poor and developing countries to alleviate starvation and to educate, from grassroots level, towards self-sufficiency.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Grant making policies
We monitor regular reports that we receive from charities, to which we have made donations, to keep a track of:
-
progress in areas where improved agricultural farming methods are being taught.
-
the educational progress of the children we sponsor, who might otherwise have been exploited as child-labour. Many of the children we support continue until matriculation. Some progress on to higher education.
-
the achievement, where trades people in developing countries receive training in their skills. They are then supplied tools to commence their trades.
Achievements and performance
During the year, the charity made grants to three deserving causes: Project Mala, Temwa UK and Disability Africa, in each case in line with the charity’s objects. Project Mala supports the education of disadvantaged children in India; Temwa UK works to relieve poverty in remote communities in Malawi through development, education and health initiatives; and Disability to Africa supports disabled people in African communities by improving mobility, access to equipment and opportunities for greater independence. Through these donations, the charity continued to apply its funds in furtherance of its charitable purposes.
Financial review
At the end of the reporting period the charity had cash reseres of £1,465,330, of which £1,464,518 (2024: £1,411,571) were held in an interest-bearing account and £812 (2024: £3,636) in a non-interest bearing account.
Cash reserves increased in the year from bank interest received, which was in excess of donations made in the year

The charity is constituted under a trust deed dated 19 March 2007. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration
The trustees and secretary are not remunerated.
Organisational structure
Manglibai Haridas Khiara (UK) Charitable Trust is registered with the Charity Commission. The Charity Commission registration number is 1129543.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The charity’s activities expose it to financial risks including cash flow and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash flow risk
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. Interest bearing assets are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
The cash reserves are principally held an interest-bearing flexible access account, which the trustees consider provide a good balance between access to the funds and potential to earn income on the funds (i.e. bank interest) without risk to capital. The remainder of the charity’s cash reserves are held in the charity’s current account.
Credit risk
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and investments. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is limited because the charity will only make grants out of funds derived from income on investments. Operational costs are minimal.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 16 April 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
