Relief of Hardship Activities

Azad Welfare Trust continues providing support and aid to those suffering hardships, through the following projects:

PAKISTAN

In February 2024, Gwadar, a port city in southwestern Balochistan province, was ocially declared a disaster zone due to persistent heavy rains lasting more than two days. This extreme weather event resulted in severe ooding, largely because of an inadequate drainage system. Roads and streets were submerged, and residential and commercial properties were inundated. The situation worsened as nearby streams and rivers overowed, unable to handle the immense volume of water from the continuous downpour. Many residents were forced to evacuate, seeking shelter and relying on community support. The oods caused widespread devastation, with reports of collapsed houses and buildings, along with disruptions to electricity and internet services. According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Balochistan's Daily Situation Report on 3 March 2024, the torrential rains claimed ve lives in Barkhan and Jiwani, and an estimated 10,000 households were aected, based on the initial assessment by the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS). On 27 February 2024, Gwadar experienced a torrential downpour, submerging several areas, including Gwadar city and Sarabandan, leading to a state of emergency while rescue operations were underway. The Meteorological Department recorded 58 mm of rain in Gwadar, the highest in the region. Rain continued in northern Balochistan and coastal areas until 28 February, followed by strong winds and province-wide heavy rains until 2 March. The National Disaster Management Authority issued a forecast for widespread heavy rainfall from 29 February to 2 March across various regions, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Murree, and Galiyat. The caretaker Chief Minister of Balochistan declared an emergency in Gwadar on 28 February 2025. The Meteorological Oce reported a record 183 mm of rainfall in Gwadar within 24 hours, with an additional 57.80 mm the previous day.

Our team responded quickly, and we took on projects such as reconstructing homes, food parcel distributions for the needy, as well as a water pump providing clean water which was needed within a village in Azad Kashmir.

Income generating projects

As part of our income generating projects, we distributed Rickshaws in Pakistan to the neediest so they can earn an income to support their families.

Independent Auditor's report to the trustees of Azad Welfare Trust Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Azad Welfare Trust (UK) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise statement of financial of activities, balance sheet, cash flow and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31[st] December 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Conclusions relating to going concern:

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you were. The trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or The trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Basis for opinion:

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information:

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Responsibilities of trustees:

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement page9, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements:

Page 11 of 13

Prepaired: 20/10/2025

I have been appointed as auditor under section 144[1] of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or taken together, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Disaster description

In 2024, Pakistan experienced significant natural disasters, primarily monsoon-related floods that caused widespread damage, displacement, and casualties, affecting over 1.5 million people in some events. Intense rainfall led to urban and riverine flooding across multiple provinces, damaging critical infrastructure like homes, roads, and bridges, while also impacting agriculture and threatening food security.

Key events and impacts: Flooding: Heavy monsoon rains in July, August, and September caused severe flash floods and urban flooding in provinces including Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab. Casualties: The monsoon season resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries. A separate report mentioned 306 fatalities and 584 injuries from the monsoon alone, according to ReliefWeb. Displacement: The floods displaced over 1.5 million people, many of whom had been displaced in previous years as well. Infrastructure damage: The disaster caused extensive damage to over 20,000 homes and 40 bridges. Agricultural impact: Widespread flooding submerged farmlands and disrupted agriculture, threatening the livelihoods of many and food security in affected regions. Other significant disasters Terrorism: According to a report by International IDEA, there was a significant increase in deaths from terrorism and counter-terrorism incidents in 2024 compared to 2023. Conflict: In January 2024, Iran conducted missile strikes in the Pakistani province of Balochistan targeting a militant group. The event was followed by Pakistan retaliating with airstrikes inside Afghanistan in March, which reportedly killed several civilians. Humanitarian response Emergency declarations: Emergency declarations were issued in affected districts, and relief operations were launched by government agencies and the military. Humanitarian needs: The crisis created urgent needs for shelter, clean water, sanitation, hygiene, medical aid, and cash assistance for affected households and agricultural workers.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

I communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during our audit.
