Report of the trustees
for the year ended 31 December 2024
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Zobia Nazley Memorial Trust is an unincorporated charity. It was formed in November 2004 to help disabled children who live in Azad Kahmir and Pakistan. There are three trustees who govern the charity. Membership is open to anyone interested and who are able to contibute towards the objective.
Objectives and activities
The principal objectives for which the charity was formed are as under:
-
To promote the relief and rehabilitation of physically and mentally disabled children/people in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan by establishing and providing therapeutic facilities & educational programmes, vocational training programmes, vocational training centres, paramedical training and other services relevant to the needs of such disabled children/people and their families (including the manufacture and provision of aids and equipment).
-
To reach out to disabled persons and their families and provide a range of relief and care services. Such services may be provided through institutional care or in their homes in case the families and their disabled members are unable to access the services outside the house;
-
To enable and empower the persons with disability to live as independently and as fully as possible within and as close to the community to which they belong.
-
To provide social aid through the trust to poor families, widows, orphans, disabled children.
-
To assist and promote the cause of human welfare, in collaboration with similar organisations and foundations engaged in rehabilitation (and social welfare) of the people from backward and far-flung agencies of Azad Kashmir and refugees settled in remote areas of Pakistan
Achievements and performance
The charity has continued to help many disabled children and their families by providing them with school fees, books and meals.
Children at the schools have been supported with physiotherapy and rehabiliation services. The schools have regular "Parent/Teacher Meetings" where parents are shown the activities their children engage in throughout the school day.
The children celebrated Pakistan Day in March 2024 and enjoyed an Eid celebration where the school arranged Eid Stalls for children to purchase gifts for their families and themselves.
In July 2024, the school celebrated the success of three students completing their matriculation exams. They were able to complete these with the support and education provided to them through the ZNMT schools.
In October 2024, Zobia Nazley Memorial Trust faciliated the opening of the third school of Zobia Nazley Memorial Trust (AK) in Mirpur, clearly demonstrating the need for specialist schools in the community to be able to support and educate children with special needs.
In December 2024, the children from the school participated in a "World Day for Special Persons" by walking alongside many people through the streets of Mirpur.

Financial review
During the year, the charity received gross donations of £108,220 and expended £35,852 resulting in a surplus of £72,368 which is carried forward to next year.
There was a further income of £10,000 which was recalled from ZNMT AK, from a payment made to them in 2023.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. 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 UK 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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 1993 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They 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
On behalf of the board

Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Zobia Nazley Memorial Trust.
I report on the accounts of Zobia Nazley Memorial Trust for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages 2 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the Act, as amended; to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended; 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 the 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 you as 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:
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.
1.1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005) and the Charities Act 1993.
1.2. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
1.3. Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
1.4. Research and development
Research expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred.
