**Trauma Aid UK P.O. Box 5301 Hove BN52 9RS** **Supporting work in traumatised communities worldwide Reg. Charity No.1138372** **email: contact@traumaaiduk.org** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2020** Throughout 2020, Trauma AID UK (TAUK) has continued to provide training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to mental health professionals working in traumatised communities worldwide who would not otherwise have access to such training. This has enabled these professionals to acquire professional skills and knowledge in order to alleviate pain and suffering caused by post-traumatic psychological disorders. Due to the Covid pandemic, most of the training this year has been delivered on-line. This is with the interim agreement of EMDR Europe Association Standards & Training Committee until the end of 2021. In addition to EMDR Training and providing Continuing Professional Development Seminars and Workshops on-line, TAUK has also funded an E-therapy Pilot Research Project working with Syrian female refugees run out of Turkey. The project has been able to extend geographically to refugees living outside Turkey as all the trauma therapy has been provided via the internet. Specifically, TAUK has carried out the following activities and events during 2020: |Date|Activity|Where| |---|---|---| |13 -16th January 2020|Part 1 EMDR Training

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or - (2) the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## William Guy Blake Date: 17 May 2021 ## **William Guy Blake ACA** ## **Member of the ICAEW** For and on behalf of: ## **Godfrey Wilson Limited** Chartered accountants and statutory auditors 5th Floor Mariner House 62 Prince Street Bristol BS1 4QD www.traumaaiduk.org **Supporting work in traumatised communities worldwide Reg.
