The relief of poverty and assistance through consultation, monetary, legal and educational support to enable families and individuals across Pakistan who are the victims of natural disaster, sectarian killings and violence, terrorism to become active and productive members of the society.
To focus specially on most vulnerable, orphans and families left destitute because of key members of family loosing lives or limbs due to terrorism and ensuring their sustenance and opportunities in life and other human rights are not taken away.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
Shaheed Foundation UK working very closely and in coordination with Shaheed Foundation Pakistan (SFP). SFP is taking care currently of over 1800 terrorism effected families across Pakistan.
Shaheed Foundation works on immediate needs of the orphans and widows left behind due to terrorism.
## **Fundraising activities**
The majority of donations come from regular donors who make small contributions, regular or otherwise.
Large donations at times come from local groups and individuals who feel passionate about the cause and like to help victims.
We have ourselves arranged community family sports and fun events, which was a big success.
Other relatively larger donations also received from local community centres in different cities.
Donors are anybody who shares the compassion of Shaheed Foundation's objectives. There are no major fixed donors but hundreds of community members are mainly based in the UK.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The unrestricted funds reserve is maintained to cover governance costs and to respond to various application of grants and donations.
Restricted fund reserve are held to be used within certain restrictions of the relevant funds. The restricted funds are distributed strictly in accordance with the religious or other restrictions imposed on the relevant fund.
The Charity has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in fixed assets should be around 6 months of expenditure. The charity's general funds as at 30 November 2024 of £20,915 are greater than required and we plan to spend it on more support to bereaved families in Pakistan.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of**
## **Shaheed Foundation UK**
**I** report on the accounts for the year ended 30 November 2024 set out on pages four to seven.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
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 the 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 statements 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 130 of the 2011 Act: and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.
