ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable Activities
Context and Organisational Transition
During the reporting period, BAAG continued rts core policy and adv(Ka¢y work in relation to Afghani51an.
including support to Afghan civil society organisations and coordination of member agencies in the UK and
Ireland. This work took place in the ongoing context of Afghanistan's complex and deteriorating humanitarian .
and civic environment under Taliban rule, which particulady impacted women and girls.
However, recognising the increasingly constrained exiemal operating environment, significant funding
challenges, and Changes in the landscape of UK-based Afghanistan advocacy, the Board commissioned a
strategic review during the year. Funding was received specifically to support this review.
Following the review, the Trustees concluded that BAAG'S coordinating and advocacy role should come to a
close and recommended the orderly wind-down of operations. This included transitioning coordination
functions for member agencies to BOND, a trusted peer network.
Winding Down Activities
The charity undertook a structured and principled wind-down process. focused on..
Completing existing programme commitments;
Ensuring the responsible closure of restricted grants-
Supporting the transition of member coordination to BOND.,
Discharging all employment and financial obligalions.. and
Preparing statutory accounts and documents to support closure.
All restricted funds were fully spent wilhin the period. Unrestricted reserves are being retained temporarily to
support final closure costs and the agreed transfer of remaining funds to BOND in 2025.
The Board recognises the significant contribulion of BAAG'S staff, volunteers, and partners over many years
and wishes to place on record its appreciation for the role BAAG has played in supporting Afghan civil
society and informing donor policy.
No further activttie5 are planned beyond the c105ure and fund transfer Process.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE PERIOD 1 APRIL 2023 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial position of the charity at 30 September 2024 is set out on page xx.
Total reserves at 30 September 2024 amounted to £86,230, all of which represent unrestricted funds. No
restricted funds were held at the year end.
Free reserves amounted to £86,230 at the period end (2023.. £179,912).
Following the Board's decision to wind down the organisation, unrestricted reserves were retained to ensure
orderly closure and to support the planned transfer of final funds to BOND. All reslricled funds were fully
spent during the reporting period in accordance with donor conditions.
The Trustees are satisfied thal the retained reserves are sufficient to meet all final liabilities and enable
BAAG to complete Ihe transfer of its remaining assets in line wrth its charitable objectives.
There are no ongoing liabilities relaling to project delivery. At the time of approval of these accounts, there
are no staff members employed by BAAG. The final wind4own and transfer process is being carried out on
a voluntary basis by the Treasurer.
The Board confirms that there are no plans for further fundraising or operational activities.
All major financial risks have been addressed as part of Ihe wind4own, and the charity is not exposed to any
further material liabilities beyond the reporting date.
Going concern
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Trustees have assessed the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern. Although BAAG is no longer undertaking operational activities, the accounls
have been prepared on a going concern basis to reflect the orderly wind-down and planned transfer of
remaining assets to BOND, a charitable organisation with similar objectives.
The Trustees are satisfied that there are sufficient unrestricted reserves to meet all outstanding obligations
and to complete the final Steps of closure. All restricted funds were fully spent prior to 30 September 2024.
No further fundraising or programme delivery is anticipaled. and the organisation will app￿ for strike-off once
all obligations are met and the transfer of funds completed.
The going concern basis is therefore appropriate in this context of controlled closure and asset transfer.
The Trustees have considered the alternative break-up basis of accounting and concluded that there is no
material difference in the recognition or measurement of assets and liabilities compared to the going concern
basis. Therefore, the financial statements have been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis to
SUPPOrt the completion of the wind-down and transfer of assets.
