## A message from the Chairman 

## Peace and blessings be upon you all 

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to present Saba Relief's Annual Report for 2025. 

As we reflect on the past year, we do so with gratitude, humility, and a renewed sense of purpose. Yemen continues to face one of the world's most challenging humanitarian crises, with millions of people affected by conflict, economic hardship, displacement, and limited access to essential services. Despite these challenges, Saba Relief has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and delivering meaningful, lasting impact. 

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and partners, 2025 was a year of significant achievement. Our orphan sponsorship programme grew to support more than 1,800 orphaned children, while our humanitarian and development programmes supported thousands of beneficiaries across Yemen. These achievements reflect the collective efforts of everyone who continues to support our mission and stand alongside those most in need. 

The year also marked an important milestone in the development of Saba Relief with the appointment of Saleem Ahmed as Chief Executive Officer and the adoption of our new five-year strategy. Together, these developments provide a clear roadmap for the charity's future, strengthening our leadership, expanding organisational capacity, and positioning us to increase our impact in the years ahead. 

Alongside this growth, we continued to strengthen our governance and organisational effectiveness. Working closely and constructively with the Charity Commission, we successfully completed all agreed actions and recommendations during the year. This process provided an important opportunity to reflect, learn, and further strengthen the systems, controls, and accountability arrangements that underpin our work. 

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our donors, volunteers, staff, partners, and fellow Trustees for their continued commitment and support. Your generosity, dedication, and trust make our work possible. 

While significant challenges remain, I am optimistic about the future. Guided by our values, strengthened by the progress we have made, and inspired by the resilience of the communities we serve, we remain committed to delivering hope, dignity, and opportunity to those who need it most. 

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. 

Warm regards, 

**Anis Ali Chairman, Saba Relief**

## From the CEO's Desk 

## Peace and blessings be upon you all 

Since taking on the role of CEO of Saba Relief in May 2025, I have spent my time listening, learning, and working closely with our teams, partners, and the communities we serve across Yemen. What I found was an organisation built upon sincerity, resilience, and a genuine commitment to alleviating hardship in some of the most challenging humanitarian conditions in the world. Throughout 2025, I witnessed first-hand the dedication of our staff and volunteers, both in the UK and on the ground in Yemen, who continue to serve with compassion, integrity, and unwavering determination despite immense operational difficulties. 

This year has been one of both reflection and transformation for Saba Relief. Alongside delivering vital humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities across Yemen, we undertook an important process of organisational strengthening. My priority from the outset has been to ensure that Saba Relief is not only impactful in its delivery, but also robust in its governance, accountability, and long-term sustainability. Throughout the year, we scaled back on projects but invested significant effort into reviewing internal systems, strengthening policies and procedures, improving operational oversight, and embedding a stronger culture of compliance and professionalism across the organisation. 

As part of this journey, we continued to fully cooperate with the Charity Commission’s statutory inquiry. While such scrutiny is naturally challenging for any organisation, we approached it with openness, responsibility, and a commitment to continuous improvement. We recognise that strong governance and transparency are essential to maintaining the trust of our donors, beneficiaries, and stakeholders, and we remain committed to emerging from this process as a stronger, more resilient organisation that is better equipped to fulfil its mission. 

Despite these internal developments, our focus never shifted away from the people of Yemen. Throughout the year, Saba Relief continued to respond to urgent humanitarian needs while also expanding efforts toward more sustainable and community-led solutions. From food security and water access initiatives to orphan support, livelihoods, and emergency assistance, our teams worked tirelessly to deliver aid that not only meets immediate needs but also preserves dignity and strengthens resilience within local communities. I was especially encouraged to see the growing emphasis on long-term development approaches that empower communities toward greater self-reliance and stability. 2025 also reinforced the importance of our values. Compassion, Integrity, Righteous Ethics, Empowerment, and Sustainability are not simply words within our new five-year strategy; they are principles that continue to guide every decision we make and every programme we deliver. In an increasingly complex humanitarian environment, remaining grounded in these values is essential to preserving the trust placed in us by those we serve and those who support us. 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our donors, supporters, partners, Trustees, volunteers, and staff for their continued trust and dedication throughout this important year. The progress made in 2025 would not have been possible without your support, patience, and belief in our mission. 

As we look ahead, I remain optimistic about the future of Saba Relief. We enter the next chapter with clearer direction, stronger foundations, and a renewed commitment to serving the people of Yemen with excellence, accountability, and compassion. Together, we will continue striving toward a future where humanitarian aid is not only a response to crisis, but a pathway toward dignity, resilience, and lasting change. 

Warm Regards, 

**Saleem Ahmed Chief Executive Officer, Saba Relief**

Achievements and Performance 

## WHAT WE DO IN YEMEN 

Throughout 2025, Saba Relief continued to strengthen its impact across Yemen through humanitarian and sustainable initiatives supporting vulnerable communities affected by conflict and poverty.

Achievements and Performance 

In 2025, hope reached thousands of vulnerable Yemenis through Saba Relief’s work. With the support of our donors, we brought lifesaving aid to communities enduring the country’s ongoing crisis. 

Across Yemen, from Taiz and Aden to Sana’a, Dhamar, Al-Hudaydah, Ibb, and Shabwah, our projects met urgent needs for food, water, medicine, clothing, education, and shelter while also helping to build pathways toward longterm resilience. 

Sadly, Yemen’s humanitarian crisis remains dire: millions face hunger, illness, and displacement, and the scale of need continues to outpace available resources. To save more lives and build lasting resilience, it is vital that we sustain and expand our life-saving interventions.

Flagship Projects

## Achievements and Performance 

## ORPHAN SPONSORSHIP 

In 2025, our Orphan Sponsorship Programme supported more than 1,800 children who had lost one or both parents. Through the provision of financial aid those children were provided with food, clothing, healthcare, and education. 

Beyond meeting their essential needs, sponsorship provided stability and emotional support, helping them to grow in an environment of safety and belonging. Gifts and clothing on special occasions reinforced joy and inclusion, while sponsors were able to build personal connections through letters and updates. This programme lies at the very heart of Saba Relief’s charitable aims, upholding our duty to care for orphans while relieving poverty and hardship. 

## What makes our orphan sponsorship special? 

- **Long-term Support:** Sponsored orphans receive long-term support, including food, clothing, and medical treatment. 

- **Detailed Package:** Sponsors receive a photo and information about the child upon starting their sponsorship. 

- **Progress Reports:** After one year, sponsors get an update with photos and a personal letter from the child. 

- **Communication:** Regular updates and correspondence can be arranged upon the sponsor's request. 

- **Special Gifts:** Children receive Eid gifts and new clothes, funded by the sponsor’s donation.

Achievements and Performance 

## ZAKAT DISTRIBUTION 

Fulfil this great pillar of Islam. Help those in need in Yemen 

In Yemen, Zakat is more than just fulfilling a religious obligation; it is a lifeline. In 2025, Saba Relief distributed financial assistance to nearly 13,490 households across Yemen, providing families with essential resources such as food, medical care, and financial support. 

This assistance meant that parents could feed their children, buy medicine, and restore some sense of stability amidst crises. In fulfilling both a spiritual duty and a humanitarian necessity, our Zakat programme embodies Saba Relief’s aim of relieving poverty and supporting vulnerable families with dignity.

Achievements and Performance 

## WATER WELLS 

Access to clean water is one of the greatest challenges facing Yemen today. In 2025, Saba Relief constructed new solar-powered water wells and delivered safe drinking water to over 1,456 people. 

This access transformed lives by reducing disease, improving health, and restoring dignity in communities where the daily struggle for water had become overwhelming. By providing one of life’s most basic necessities, we directly fulfilled our charitable aim of relieving poverty and preserving health.

Seasonal projects 

## QURBANI 

Eid Al-Adha is a time of generosity and unity, and in 2025 Saba Relief brought nourishment and dignity to nearly 51,238 people through Qurbani distributions. For many, this was the only time in the year they could enjoy fresh meat. 

Beyond easing hunger, the programme gave families the chance to celebrate and feel part of their community once again. In this way, Qurbani met urgent needs while fulfilling our charitable aim of relieving poverty and hunger with compassion. 

## RAMADAN 

The holy month of Ramadan is a time for compassion, but for families in Yemen it can also bring hardship. In 2025, Saba Relief’s Ramadan campaign reached over 28,017 people with food parcels, clean water, and healthcare support. 

This support eased the burdens of fasting while ensuring dignity and relief during a sacred time. The programme fulfilled our aim of relieving poverty and hunger while strengthening the bonds of community and faith.

## YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS 

The continued support of our donors and supporters remains central to Saba Relief’s ability to provide critical humanitarian assistance and sustainable support to vulnerable communities across Yemen. Every contribution made throughout 2025 helped deliver relief, restore dignity, and bring hope to those facing immense hardship, and we remain deeply thankful for the trust placed in our work. 

Throughout 2025, our fundraising strategy focused on strengthening engagement with supporters, expanding awareness, and diversifying income generation to sustain and grow humanitarian operations in Yemen. This included a combination of digital campaigns, community fundraising initiatives, mosque partnerships, events, project-focused appeals, regular giving, and strategic collaborations designed to maximise impact and encourage long-term support for our mission.

Financial Review

## Financial review 

## Income 

During 2025 Saba Relief charity raised £1.6 million by 31 December 2025. There has been a decrease compared to the prior year (2024: £4.6m). Charitable donations have been severely impacted because of the ongoing Charity Commission inquiry. A significant drop in funding partner income has led to a much lower total compared to the previous year. The reduction in partner income was also due to fund transfer issues that were out of the charity's control. Fortunately, those issues were resolved towards the end of the year. However, on a positive note, partners have stated their intent to return back to working with Saba Relief once the inquiry is successfully closed. Saba Relief has invested in the building of a fundraising team to mitigate some of the risk of losing partner funding. 

The financial statements are for the 12-month period from 1st January 2025 to 31 December 2025. The main source of the funding for specific programmes continues to be the funds provided by the general public and by our partner organisations. 

## **Fund Source** 

## **Amount** 

General Public & Partners £1.6M 

## Cost of generating funds 

The charity’s fundraising costs during the year were £236K (2024: £439K). This cost comprises marketing and media to raise funds for the charity. 

## Charity expenditure 

During the year the Saba Relief charity has spent £1.26M (2024: £4M) to help a large number of its beneficiaries that we support in Yemen, from those charitable activities and fundraising that we have operated. 

## Restricted funds 

These funds are fenced off and are to be spent in accordance to a particular purpose such as a particular public appeal or an agreement with the respective donor. 

Page  26 



## Financial review 

## Reserves policy and going concern 

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The Charity’s reserves policy requires that general reserves are reviewed on at least an annual basis to ensure they are at an appropriate level to fund Governance and Fundraising costs for at least six months. The trust had no restricted reserves at the end of the period. The amount of the total funds the charity held at the end of the reporting period on 31/12/2025 was £1.8M (2024: £1.7M). There were £0 [2025:£0] restricted funds at the end of the period. 

## Future plans 

Building on the progress made during 2025, Saba Relief remains committed to delivering effective humanitarian and development assistance to vulnerable communities across Yemen. 

The adoption of our new five-year strategy provides a clear roadmap for the charity's future growth and impact. Our priorities include expanding support to beneficiaries, strengthening partnerships, investing in our people, systems, and organisational capacity, and ensuring we remain responsive to both immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term development challenges. 

We will continue to focus on strong governance, accountability, and the effective stewardship of donor funds, while working to maximise the impact and sustainability of our programmes. As needs across Yemen remain significant, Saba Relief will continue to monitor emerging challenges and respond where support is most needed. 

## Risk management 

The Board of Trustees reviews the charity's principal risks and uncertainties on a regular basis and maintains oversight of the systems and controls in place to manage them. During 2025, the charity further strengthened its risk management arrangements as part of its wider governance and organisational improvement. 

The charity's risk management framework includes the regular review of key risks, the implementation of appropriate policies, systems, and procedures to mitigate identified risks, and ongoing monitoring to ensure controls remain effective. Risk management is supported through staff training, governance oversight, and the maintenance of appropriate operational procedures. 

The Trustees recognise that effective risk management is essential to protecting the charity's beneficiaries, people, assets, reputation, and ability to deliver its charitable objectives. The Board is satisfied that appropriate controls and monitoring arrangements are in place to identify, assess, and manage the charity's principal risks.

Structure, Governance
& Management

## Structure, Governance & Management 

The Trustees present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and confirm they comply with the Company Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, the trust deed and the Charities SORP FRS 102. 

## Governing document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 25 January 2012 and registered as a charitable trust with the Charity Commission on 7th January 2013 under charity number 1150360. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. 

## Organisational structure 

The charity Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The Trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The Trustees meet together as a body at least quarterly and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to the running of the charity and the community facilities and the activities provided by the charity. The day-to-day management of the Charity and community facilities and projects are delegated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). 

## Recruitment and appointment of Trustees 

The existing Trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new Trustees. 

In selecting new Trustees, we seek to identify people who have good reputations in the community and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community work. Potential Trustees are invited to attend Trustees' meetings as observers and are given more details of the charity's aims and activities and, if all agree, they are then proposed as new Trustees at the subsequent Trustees' meeting. This process allows due consideration of the person's eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills. 

## Induction and training of Trustees 

A number of publications, detailed guides and how-to guides, from the Charity Commission are also provided including "What makes a charity", "Charitable purposes and public benefit" and "Public benefit: the rules for charities". This ensures that new Trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. 

Page  29 



Statement of Trustees,
Responsibilities

## Statement of Trustees' responsibilities 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law regulations. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 the incoming resources and application of resources for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 company 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 Charities Act 2011. 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. In so far as the Trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant audit information (information needed by the charity's auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and 

- The Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information 

## Auditors 

Meer & Co have expressed their willingness to continue in office as statutory auditors and will be deemed to be reappointed in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime and SORP: Accounting and Reporting of Charities. 

Approved by the Board and signed on 06 July 2026 on its behalf by:

Independent Auditors' Report to the members of Saba Relief & Development Foundation Limited 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Saba Relief & Development Foundation Limited for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Cash Flow statement and the related notes, 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 December 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Companies Act 2006. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report 

## 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 charitable company 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.

Independent Auditors' Report to the members of Saba Relief & Development Foundation Limited 

## Other Information 

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 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. We have nothing to report in this regard 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- The information given in the Trustees' report, which includes the directors' report prepared for company law purposes, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- The directors' report included within the Trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

Page  34 



Independent Auditors' Report to the members of Saba Relief & Development Foundation Limited 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion; 

- Adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- The charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- Certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit 

## Responsibilities of Trustees 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Page  35 



Independent Auditors' Report to the members of Saba Relief & Development Foundation Limited 

## Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. 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 in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and how the entity is complying with that framework. The Charities Act (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, the Charity SORP, and the Fundraising Regulator, are of significance in the context of the entity. We consider that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognize non-compliance with laws and regulations. The audit team identified particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement as part of their fraud discussion which included revenue recognition and related party transactions. Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: 

inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud. No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the financial Statement for the year ended 31 December 2025 

## **1 GENERAL INFORMATION** 

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. 

The address of the registered office is Unit 3, 29 Henley Street, Birmingham, West Midlands, B11 1JB. 

## **2** 

## **Accounting policies** 

## **Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Any investments  are included at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

## **Income resources** 

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable (more likely than not) that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where there are terms or conditions attached to incoming resources, particularly grants, then these terms or conditions must be met before the income is recognised as the entitlement condition will not be satisfied until that point. Where terms or conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether they can be met then the relevant income is not recognised in the year but deferred and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Fundraising cost comprise the costs of advertising, events and their associated support costs. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of projects and other charitable activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Governance costs Includes the costs of general running of the charity as opposed to generating fund, service delivery and program or project work 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those costs which do not relate directly to a single activity. These include some staff costs, costs of administration, professional costs and IT support. Support costs have been apportioned between fundraising costs and charitable activities on an appropriate basis. 

Page  43 



Notes to the financial Statement for the year ended 31 December 2025 

## **Fundraising costs** 

The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating income for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects. 

## **Charitable activities** 

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure include an apportionment of support costs. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange prevailing at the accounting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the date of the transactions. All differences are taken to the income and expenditure accounts. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or granted for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **Government Grants** 

The Company recognizes government revenue-based grants using the Accrual model and when there is reasonable assurance that it will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Grants relating to revenue are recognized in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grant which becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognized in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. 

## **Fixed Asset Investments** 

Investment property mismeasured fair value at the year end with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Fair value is determined annually by an independent valuer with appropriate qualifications and experience in the category of property being valued.

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life. 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 

20% reducing balance 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Pensions** 

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the company during the period. 

## **3 Income** 

The total income of the charity for the year has been derived from its principal activity wholly undertaken in the UK.
