| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The charity’s principal activity was to support vulnerable and disadvantaged young children attending five rural schools in Gujarat, India. These children come from economically deprived backgrounds and face significant barriers to accessing education, including poverty and the risk of child labour and street begging. To address these challenges, the charity provided essential educational support, including school uniforms, footwear, books, stationery, school bags, and other necessary learning materials and school amenities. The charity also organised educational school trips to enhance learning, motivation, and engagement. These activities helped to reduce financial barriers faced by families, encouraged regular school attendance, and supported children to remain in education, thereby contributing to improved educational outcomes and long-term life opportunities. By enabling children to access and participate fully in education, the charity’s work delivered clear public benefit and helped protect vulnerable children from exploitation. In addition to its educational programmes, the charity responded to urgent community needs arising from unseasonal rains and flooding during the year. Medical and healthcare assistance, along with essential domestic support, was provided to poor and elderly individuals who were disproportionately affected by these conditions. This support helped relieve hardship, safeguarded health and wellbeing, and assisted beneficiaries during a period of significant vulnerability. The Trustees believe that these activities have directly furthered the charity’s objectives and have provided clear and tangible public benefit to those in need. |

|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The Trustees consider it prudent to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves to ensure the charity can meet its ongoing commitments, manage fluctuations in income, and respond to unforeseen circumstances or emergency needs affecting beneficiaries. Given the charity’s work supporting vulnerable communities and its reliance on voluntary donations, reserves are held to provide financial continuity and support the effective delivery of charitable activities. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | As at 30 June 2025, the charity held £87187 in reserves. All reserves were unrestricted and available to be applied to the charity’s charitable purposes. |

Para 1.24 | The charity had no funds in deficit at the end of the financial period. |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |

The charity has no contractual liabilities, no staff costs, and no overhead commitments. The Trustees are satisfied that the level of unrestricted reserves held is sufficient to allow the charity to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |

Exemptions from disclosure
Reason for non-disclosure of key personnel details
The charity does not employ staff and operates entirely through the voluntary efforts of its Trustees and supporters. Accordingly, no remuneration is paid to Trustees, and there are no key management personnel as defined by the Charities SORP.
In addition, the Trustees have chosen not to disclose individual Trustee personal details beyond those required by the Charity Commission, to protect their privacy and personal security. The Trustees consider that such non-disclosure does not detract from transparency or accountability, given the charity’s size, risk profile, and governance arrangements.
Other optional information
The charity has no subsidiaries, pension schemes, or complex legal structures. It does not engage in fundraising through professional fundraisers and does not operate trading activities. All activities are carried out in line with the charity’s governing document and applicable charity law.
The Trustees continue to review governance arrangements on an ongoing basis to ensure they remain appropriate for the charity’s size and activities and reflect best practice.
