The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the period ended 30 April 2024. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

The charity is governed by a trust deed and is constituted as a trust. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are: 

a) To provide grants which will support facilities for Christian education at Noor Ministries School, Okara District, Punjab Province, Pakistan. 

b) To relieve the poverty of young people and enable them to participate in educational activities that they could not otherwise afford. 

## **Summary of the charity's main activities** 

In accordance with the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission, the Trustees have sought to maximise the amount of support directed towards Noor Ministries’ Life Transforming Centre schools which offer Christian education to children from poor families in Okara District, Pakistan. 

To raise awareness of the work of Noor Ministries in Pakistan. 

To facilitate the raising of funds and the transfer of donations to Noor Ministries in Pakistan. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

In the year 2023-2024 the UK charity continued to provide a large majority of the income (approximately 80%) supporting the work of the Life Transforming schools run by Noor Ministries in Pakistan. During the year the Trust Board made every effort to adhere closely to the guidelines set by the Charity Commission and the requirements of the banking sector. The Trustees have taken steps to observe best practice in procedures and have consistently monitored use of the charity’s funds with due diligence. 

During the year a number of the previous trustees retired including Mark Heaton, Sue Clifton and Richard Davis and we would like to thank them for their commitment and support for the work of the charity over many years. 

The generous supporters of the charity have been kept informed regarding the use made of their donations, using updates sent out to individuals on the mailing list. It is a sign of how far the work has advanced that graduates from the school are now returning to serve as trainee teachers. Some members of staff have occasionally accompanied the principal to conferences and promotional events. In terms of building work in Pakistan, this has mainly centred around the completion and opening of better office accommodation in Lahore.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 APRIL 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and comprise a statement that shows the charity's receipts and payments, a statement that summarises the charity's assets and liabilities and related notes. The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs. 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
