The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

The objects of the Charity, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, is to relieve poverty or sickness or preserve and protect the good health of people in conflict and post conflict zones. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running charity (PB2)' 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Review of activities** 

During the accounting year 2020-2021, EMERGENCY UK employed the funds raised to support the following projects, all run by the partner organisation Emergency ONG Onlus (registered under Italian law, referred to as EMERGENCY in what follows): 

## **Afghanistan** 

EMERGENCY runs a comprehensive healthcare network in Afghanistan, consisting of a Surgical & Paediatric Centre and Maternity Centre in Anabah, Surgical Centre for War Victims in Kabul, Surgical Centre for War Victims in Lashkar-Gah, and over 40 Healthcare Centres and First Aid Posts across the country. 

EMERGENCY’s **Surgical & Paediatric Centre** in Anabah remains the only accessible, free, high-quality healthcare facility for a population of approximately 1 million people, spread over the provinces of Panjshir, Kapisa and Parwan. As well as surgery for war and landmine victims, the hospital also handles traumatology, general surgery, primary healthcare and paediatrics. The hospital is also the referral centre for a network of First Aid Posts and Healthcare Centres opened and run by EMERGENCY. 

The nearby **Maternity Centre** in Anabah, opened by EMERGENCY in 2003, is a point of reference for women in the Panjshir Valley and surrounding provinces, thanks in part to the network of healthcare centres in the region. It has seen the number admissions, outpatient check-ups, surgical operations and births increase even further. Around 600 babies are born at the facility every month. The hospital acts as a training centre for local staff. 

EMERGENCY’s **Surgical Centre for War Victims** in Kabul is one of the most important hospitals in Afghanistan. Specialised in war trauma surgery, the facility houses an impressive number of facilities, including three operating theatres; an intensive care unit; an A&E; outpatient clinics; a laboratory and blood bank; a radiology department; and equipment for physiotherapy and CT scans. The hospital is also the referral centre

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

for a network of First Aid Posts and Healthcare Centres opened and run by EMERGENCY. The hospital acts as a training centre for local staff. 

EMERGENCY’s **Surgical Centre for War Victims** in Lashkar-Gah is the only facility to provide free, specialist high-quality trauma care in Helmand province, one of those worst affected during the last 20 years of the conflict in Afghanistan. The hospital contains similar facilities to those in Kabul, including two operating theatres; an intensive care unit; an A&E; outpatient clinics; a laboratory and blood bank; a radiology department; and equipment for physiotherapy and CT scans. The hospital is also the referral centre for a network of First Aid Posts and Healthcare Centres opened and run by EMERGENCY. The hospital acts as a training centre for local staff. 

EMERGENCY’s network of healthcare facilities across Afghanistan has remained open throughout the worst periods of the conflict, including in August 2021. Since the fall of the Afghan government, EMERGENCY’s projects have continued to operate and provide healthcare to the people of Afghanistan without interruption. **EMERGENCY UK’s unrestricted donation of £90,043.50 to EMERGENCY ONG ONLUS projects in Afghanistan shall be used for their continued operation and provision of care.** 

## **Children’s Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda** 

EMERGENCY’s Children’s Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda, opened in April 2021. This is the second facility in the organisation’s African Network of Medical Excellence (ANME), an innovative model of humanitarian healthcare designed by EMERGENCY, with multinational support from the Health Ministries of the Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. The aim of ANME is to develop an integrated network of medical Centres of Excellence across the African continent. 

The new Children’s Surgical Hospital is located on the banks of Lake Victoria, over a 120,000 m2 area provided by the Ugandan government. The hospital has **72 ward beds, 3 operating theatres** and all the diagnostic and ancillary services needed to run it, such as a laboratory, blood bank, pharmacy, canteen, and laundry. 

EMERGENCY UK will contribute a portion of funds raised during this accounting period to EMERGENY’s work in Uganda. The exact amount to be transferred has not yet been determined but will be included in the next accounting period. 

## **Other activities** 

During the accounting year 2020-2021, EMERGENCY UK raised awareness of its work, built upon the implementation of a new supporter database, and consolidated its partnerships. 

- During this period, EMERGENCY UK streamlined the process in which supporters could donate to the organisation from a range of acquisition sources.

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Reserves policy** 

The policy approved by the Board of Trustees is to maintain a reserve of unrestricted funds equal to 2 months of core expenditures. This mostly includes the salary and contribution of employees, office rent and utilities and governance related costs. 

For the year of 2020 (until further notice), in line with the criteria defined above, the minimum threshold is set at £10,000. We also set a monitoring trigger at £15,000 for the Treasurer to inform the UK Board of the current liquidity position of the charity. 

Free reserves at 31 May 2021 were £169,584 _(2020 - £105,655)_ . 

The level of available funds is elevated in comparison to the minimum reserve level, in preparation of fund transfers to projects during the subsequent accounting year. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

Emergency Life Support for Civilian Victims of War and Poverty UK is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association. 

## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees** 

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association. 

## **c. Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Emergency Life Support for Civilian Victims of War and Poverty UK ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 2021. 

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. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity 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 carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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 accounts 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)].
