Welfare Support Group Report of the Trustees

For the Year Ended 31 December 2023

The year 2023 once again a successful year for our organisation in terms of the projects we undertook and supported. We are very proud of the achievements made the year and feel we have laid solid foundations to carry on relief work.

In the UK we have continued our educational support mainly in the Reading (Berkshire) area and currently providing the following services:

Supplementary classes and home-work support club for children from ethnic minorities (although all are welcome)
English for Speaker of Other Languages course and basic computer literacy for adults

International relief and education efforts

The main areas of operation in Pakistan are:

To support orphans
To provide emergency relief by way of food packs, medical camps and general relief

All the donations raised were generated from the community (through direct debit mandates, charity dinners and general solicitation for donations) and we aim to only start projects where we have funds available for at least a year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPEORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Classification: Internal

I report on the accounts of the Welfare Support Group for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on page 4 to 7.

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 the 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.

Basic of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records 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 the course of any examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in the any material respect, the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met: or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
