BRITISH PAKISTAN FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's Trust Deed, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
Objectives and activities
Founded in 2010, we are London-based, not-for-profit, secular, and non-partisan but run programmes nationwide in partnership with local community building organizations working for the BAME community. While boosting community building, the BPF also acts as a liaison between the diaspora and governmental and nongovernmental organisations in both the UK and Pakistan. We have been actively working to expand our platform with the kind support of our Board, Patrons and Members.
We are also privileged to welcome a new board member to BPF's Board of Trustees, namely Faria Ali, who has taken over from Hammad Akhtar, who stepped down from the Board due to other commitments. We look forward to her contribution in working on initiatives that matter most to you, and thank Hammad for his valuable service.
We began 2021 with the 3rd lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. We took this time to re-evaluate our model for delivery of programmes that would have the maximum impact based on our resources available. A change in personnel and a fresh strategy was devised after consultation with Board members and stakeholders, where BPF will look to enhance their collaboration with various organisations into strategic partnerships to deliver programmes that not only create an impact for the British Pakistani Community but are also sustainable.
We continued to host webinars in place of in person events during and while the country slowly emerged from lockdown. The webinars covered a vast range of topics and were well received by the BPF community. As lockdown restrictions eased, we looked to engage with the community in a different way, by piloting a community hub in Rochdale in partnership with Global Livelihoods. The community hub delivered promising results, and we are actively looking for more organisations to partner with to set up long term hubs in different cities in the UK. Unfortunately, the pilot programme was only able to last for the initial duration of 6 months, as we were unable to procure a suitable space to move the operation to on a permanent basis that would make the project viable.
Among other programmes we are working on, we have also partnered with Mentyoo to deliver an online mentorship programme for young British Pakistani adults, which we hope to launch in early 2022.
Who we are
Why was BPF created?
The British Pakistani community is one of the most underprivileged communities in the UK. As per research data:
1 in 12 British Pakistanis are unemployed, 1 in 9 British Pakistanis are underemployed
1 in 5 British Pakistanis have no qualification
The British Pakistan Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2010, to bring about a positive impact to the British Pakistani & BAME community in the UK, by building a powerful platform to ensure the skills and talent in the community can shine.
What do We Do
While we have something to offer to every member of the community, we are proud to offer three key programmes: One for the specific needs of professionals and entrepreneurs, one for women and one for the youth.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
British Pakistan Foundation for Development is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 86-87 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 9RL.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Trust deed document, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Expenses are allocated for on an accruals basis and have been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to the headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Governance Costs
These include costs of administration, any costs for preparation and examination of statutory accounts and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
