Activities/Statement
Thanks be to Allah SWT for granting us all the ability and the means to support those less needy and facing difficulties across the globe. It has been a privilege to support individuals and communities across the world, especially those facing poverty and deprivation. The year has been a reminder of how much work still needs to be done and importantly how many communities across the globe are still in severe generational poverty. The year has been unprecedented in terms of the recovery from the global pandemic, continuing economic downturn and climate change disasters and their impact on the poorest and the most vulnerable. The growth of inequalities across the globe – and that considerable investment is required to close the gaps on social and economic inequalities.
A sincere thanks to all the volunteers and all those who have donated to the charity during the year - their support has enabled the charity to support incredible causes and individuals during the year. Thank you to all and may Allah SWT bless them all for all their hard work. Without our Volunteers we will not be able to respond to the unequivocal need across the globe.

Dabbagh Welfare Trust
We have highlighted below some of the substantial and lasting impact initiatives we have undertaken during the year. These have improved lives, saved lives, and removed people out of poverty. At the heart of this work is the continuing mission to increase “compassion to all of god's creation”.
Pakistan – Maternity Unit
During 2022/23 the fundraising continues to develop a maternity unit in Pakistan. This would be a purpose built facility that would cater for mother and child. The amazing effort by our volunteers to undertake some gruelling challenges has been greatly appreciated by DWT. It is anticipated that the facility will start to be developed early 2024. Land has already been purchased during 22/23. This is a significant capital investment and the charity believes this will make a significant difference to the lives of expectant mothers.

Turkiye and Syria Earthquake
In February 2023 the charity responded to the earthquake that struck Turkiye and Syria that resulted in significant loss of life, thousands of people displaced and people being severely affected by the aftershock and pollution. The charity worked with partners including Islamic Help and Ehsan Global relief. We were able to get food packs, clothing and winter packs to the most needy. Of course none of this would have been achievable without the generous donations from our donors.
Shelter Projects
Our Shelter Projects are intended to provide housing for widows and orphans who cannot otherwise sustain housing on their own. Often, the houses they live in are unfinished, leaving them unprotected from the elements with no doors and windows. Dabbagh Welfare Trust's Housing Programme is helping widows, orphans and poor families build houses across the globe.

Water Pumps & Wells Project
DWT continues to deliver its water project across the globe. We have developed and delivered drinking water facilities in Pakistan – recognising the lack of clean drinking water in some of the poorer areas and further the impact of local communities drinking unclean water on their health and wellbeing. Further we continue to invest in developing water wells in Tanzania – again this has only been possible due to the generosity of our donors and fundraisers.
Eye Camps
In most third world countries, most eye care facilities are based in major towns and cities, despite the fact that most of the population live in rural areas. In rural areas, there is a lack of health services, and they very rarely have the capacity, skills or equipment to diagnose or treat eye health issues. Consequently, people living in rural areas must travel long distances to access eye care services. Most people are unable to travel to get help – many simply can’t afford the expense. Traditional women are particularly disadvantaged as they are not expected to travel alone. Many people living in poverty with vision problems never get the treatment they need, even when it’s something as simple as receiving a pair of glasses. Our mission through our dedicated eye camps, is simply to give the gift of sight to hundreds of beneficiaries.

Ramadhan Food Packs & Qurbani
Provided Ramadhan food packs to the needy in Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, North Africa (including Tanzania), Ethiopa and Sri Lanka . Each food Packs contains stable food such as Rice/flour, cooking oil, lentil, vegetable, sugar and salt etc.
Collective Marriage
This project has allowed the poorest to get married and each couple is given clothing for bride and groom, food, and bridal gift (bed bedding, chairs table cooking utensil etc). This initiative was delivered in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Children & Education
It is important for us to recognise that through supporting children in these countries we are able to transform the quality of their present and future lives. We have distributed Eid clothing and toys and further provided school uniforms, textbooks and stationery to children in Pakistan and Bangladesh and Tanzania.
Medical & Health Care
The charity supported people with operations where without our assistance their diagnoses would be terminal. The Charity has further supported individuals so that they can have operations and contributed towards medical equipment. A highlight has been the eye camps we have financially supported and facilitated across Pakistan. The charity has also supported individuals.

Looking towards 2023/24
Our continuing focus will be on developing the maternity centre in Pakistan and continue fundraising for this, but also continue to focus and respond to natural disasters and support the most vulnerable communities across the globe. We will also respond to the growing threat of climate change – the industrialised wests economic growth has come at the expense of climate change threat to the rest of the world.
The continuing downturn in global economic will brings its own challenges and we will need to work even harder to fundraise and support the most vulnerable across the globe. Our mission stays the same - “compassion to all of god's creation”.

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Dabbagh Welfare Trust
I report on the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) or under Regulation 10 (1) (a) to (c) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
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:
(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the section 44(1)(b) of the 2005 Act; and
-
which are consistent with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
