Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
Our Charity's purposes as set out in the objects are, as the trustees shall determine for the benefit of people in Burma (Myanmar) but not exclusively by:
a) receiving their need
b) relieving poverty
c) advancing education
d) promoting and protecting good health
e) the relief of financial need and suffering among victims of natural or other kinds of disaster in the form of money or other means deemed suitable.
Objectives, strategies and activities
We are involved in a number of projects such as food aid, cash aid, medical aid, clean drinking water and sanitation, shelter, establishment of schools and maqtabs. Teacher sponsorship, Orphan sponsorship as well as helping the widows. In addition to this we also provide emergency relief aid and when the need arises. Moreover, we give special food and gift packages for Ramadan and Eid. In addition to that we also provide financial help to do Qurbani, from last year we started a number of income generating projects such as supplying sewing machines to the females to make a living and rickshaws to men to earn a livelihood to maintain their family.
Supply of clean water is vital for their survival. So far we have managed to install a large number of hand pumps all over Sittwe (Arakan) Burma. Last year alone, in particular we managed to install 50 hand pumps in Sittwe to maintain a supply of clean drinking water and sanitation. We also give clothes, mosquito nets, blankets, sleeping mats, footwear, stationary supply to schools, Maqtabs. We also give nourishment and energy food for small babies and children. We are constantly striving to eliminate poverty and suffering of the Rohingyas. It is a very difficult task to implement for which we need the help of the local people, community leaders and religious scholars as well as the authorities. It is extremely difficult to do charity work in Burma. The Burmese government does not allow any charity organisation to function freely. Even NGOs are not welcome in Burma.
Fundraising disclosures
Our main source of donors remained Ummah welfare trust and One Ummah during the period. We provide them with the detail of each and every project that we plan to implement in Burma. This includes financial detail for every project breaking down the cost of purchase transport, labour charges and distribution.

Trustees' Report
Public benefit
Who used and benefitted from our services?
The main beneficiaries are the poor and the needy people of Burma helping them to lead a normal healthy life.
The Rohingya are now confined to refugee camps and do not have permission to leave their camps. Their homes and businesses have been looted and burned down. Currently they are going through ethnic cleansing by the Burmese government who are demanding them to renounce their Rohingya Ethnicity. They want them to call themselves Bangali. Then only would they be given temporary residency permit.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Use of volunteers
In Burma we have many volunteers all over the country.
We are Manchester base charity organisation. We are the only three trustees namely Imran Modan, Mr Arshad Siraj Patel, and Mr Samir Faiz Rasul who do all the work voluntarily. The treasurer is Mrs. Zainab Modan who is also a volunteer. The name of other volunteer committee members who assist in an advisory capacity are given below:
1.Kashif Safdar 2.Zainab Modan 3.Asif Ali 4.Mohammed Javid 5.Humna Modan 6.Ebrahim Michala 7.Feroz Ahmed 8.Hafiz Ammar
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The Charity is governed by a trust deed and was registered on 22 May 2012.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
It is from the very small Burmese community in Manchester.
Organisational structure
We are Manchester base charity organisation. There are only three trustees namely Imran Modan, Mr Arshad Siraj Patel, and Mr Samir Faiz Rasul. The treasurer is Mrs. Zainab Modan and a number of other community members.

Trustees' Report
Major risks and management of those risks
Risk management
Our policy is to keep the risk to minimum. We immediately transfer the donation funds to Burma. Our agents are all working as volunteers both here and in Burma. As soon as the funds arrive in Burma these volunteers who have been carefully vetted and selected distributed to the victims of oppression and prosecution by the Burmese Buddhists.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash flow risk
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures.
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Credit risk
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments.
The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance. Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Global Aid Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Transition to FRS 102
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements are required as a result of the transition to FRS 102.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading those aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
