PROJECTS FOR THE PERIOD 2024–25
During the financial year ending 31 March 2025, Send A Little Hope focused its charitable activities on emergency humanitarian response and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) interventions in Bangladesh.
END A LITTLE HOPE RUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
Following a severe cyclone that affected communities in the Chattogram district, the charity initiated an Emergency Shelter Support and WASH programme to assist individuals and families impacted by the disaster. The cyclone caused extensive damage to housing, water sources, and sanitation facilities, significantly increasing health and safety risks for vulnerable households.
The programme aimed to:
-
Support displaced and affected families with emergency shelter assistance
-
Improve access to safe drinking water
-
Promote basic sanitation and hygiene to reduce the risk of disease
The project was implemented in partnership with a local organisation to ensure effective delivery, community engagement, and accountability. Through this work, Send A Little Hope continued to fulfil its charitable objectives by responding to urgent humanitarian needs while supporting dignity, resilience, and recovery among affected communities.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Send A Little Hope recognises that delivering humanitarian and WASH projects in disasteraffected areas involves operational and financial risks. The trustees manage these risks through an annual review process, with risks considered at the project planning stage and monitored throughout delivery.
During the year, particular risks related to the Emergency Shelter Support and WASH project in cyclone-affected areas of Chattogram, Bangladesh , including access challenges, local conditions, and delivery delays. These risks were mitigated through careful planning, budget monitoring, and partnership with a local organisation to support effective implementation.
As a small charity with no paid staff, the organisation relies on volunteers and engages freelance specialists when required. The trustees provide oversight to ensure continuity, accountability, and effective delivery of the charity’s activities.
Future Plans (2025–2026)
During the period 2025–2026, Send A Little Hope will focus on strengthening organisational capacity and delivering targeted programmes that support vulnerable communities, particularly those affected by poverty and natural disasters.
The charity plans to build capacity within its local country operations through training, mentoring, and partnership working, while maintaining a small UK-based headquarters in order to keep overheads low and maximise funds applied to charitable activities. Trustees will continue to oversee governance and risk management as activities expand.
Send A Little Hope also intends to progress registration as a local charity in Bangladesh, enabling smoother operations, stronger local accountability, and a more beneficiary-led approach to project design and delivery.
Programme activity during the year will focus on:
-
Education, including AI-based learning initiatives and orphan sponsorship
-
● Shelter, through small-scale dignity-focused housing support

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of Send A Little Hope Charity registration number 1134007 on the accounts for the period ended 31 March 2025.
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31/03/2025, as set out on pages 6 to 10
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:-
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement:-
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement:-
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached .

Notes
Notes to the Accounts for the year ending 2025
Note 1 Basis of preparation and accounting convention.
The accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective 1 January 2019) and FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities), effective January 2019 (The SORP), and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration.
Note 2 Accounting policies
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.
Nature of income
Categories of Income
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance-related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange. It includes donations of money, goods, and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
Income recognition
Income, whether from the exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognized in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognized until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross before deducting any related fees or costs.
Membership subscriptions
9
The income and any associated Gift Aid or another tax refund from a membership subscription received by the charity in the nature of a gift is accounted for on the same basis as a donation.
The income from a membership subscription received by the charity where the subscription purchases the right to services or benefits is recognized as income from charitable activities.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability and the related expenditure are recognized when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance-related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation is uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year-end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities. It is decreased by the utilization of any provision within the period and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Allocating costs to activities
Direct costs specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.
The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-
Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.
Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of people employed within any particular activity.
Premises-related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity. Nonspecific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures.
Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details
