Achievements and performance

In a year marked by continued humanitarian crises both locally and internationally, Peace and Relief International remained steadfast in its mission to reduce hardship, deliver essential aid and support the most vulnerable individuals and communities. The challenges of 2025, including ongoing conflicts, displacement and increasing pressures on vulnerable populations further underscored the importance of our work and the generosity of our supporters.

Despite these difficulties, 2025 proved to be a strong year for our fundraising efforts, driven by a shared commitment among donors, volunteers and partner organisations to address growing needs. Our appeals centred on alleviating human suffering and supporting sustainable initiatives that provide long-term benefits to affected communities.

The deteriorating humanitarian situation worldwide characterised by rising civilian casualties, prolonged conflicts and an escalating refugee crisis was reflected in the priorities of our donors. Contributions were overwhelmingly directed toward food parcels, clean water initiatives, hygiene packs for mothers and children, baby formula and surgical and medical aid. These essential interventions continued to form the backbone of our humanitarian response.

Through the generous support of our donors, Peace and Relief International raised a total of £308,270 in 2025. These funds enabled us to deliver a range of vital humanitarian projects, many in collaboration with other UK based charities to support refugees, displaced families and communities in urgent need of assistance.

Our collective impact throughout the year reflects the unwavering commitment of our supporters and the determination of our volunteers, ensuring that we continue to bring hope, relief and dignity to those facing crisis.

Public Benefit Statement

The Directors have considered the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and have taken due regard of that guidance. The directors consider that they are satisfied that the charity’s activities do benefit the public as it has raised sufficient funds for various projects that will meet identifiable needs for people in need.

Financial review

Donations from the public and cash raised from fundraising events continue to be the source of the Charity’s general fund to meet on-going and future projects and activities. A total of £262,112 restricted donations were received.

Sound financial management and generous support of volunteers continue to be the cornerstone of the charity. The reserve at the end of financial year 2025 was £156,332.

The trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves sufficient to meet ongoing operational commitments and to respond to future humanitarian emergencies.

Plans for future periods

Following the model from previous years, the Director’s and Trustees objective remains to continue with fundraising events to support disadvantaged groups in troubled areas. The nature of the projects undertaken and the delivery method of these projects to date have worked very well. Therefore, the Director and the Trustees do not consider deviating from this model. There is also a consensus to support local cause to alleviate difficulties and sufferings such as homelessness and health related charitable relief in the future.

Responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also the directors of Peace and Relief International for the purposes of company law) 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).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examination

Mr Zakir Gara is the charitable company’s independent examiner during the year and has expressed his willingness to continue in that capacity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Peace and Relief International

Year ended 31 December 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Peace and Relief International ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability of each member is limited to £1.
