Trustees’ report
At Zaimah we work to bring hope and joy back to a world immersed in hardships. We strive to take humanity out of the inequity and injustice which compounds to inflict the widespread suffering and poverty prevalent in the world today. By restoring the cohesive ties that unite our very affinity as human beings, Zaimah endeavours to remove the increasing negligence for the wellbeing of our fellow man. We work to help save and improve the lives of millions throughout the world’s poorest countries.
As a Charity we are committed to ensuring that all aspects of our organisation achieve best practice as we look forward to developing a clear strategy for the next five years.
This financial year has also been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We recognise that this pandemic has caused major havoc globally and these challenges have invited a review of our direction of travel, an opportunity to establish a clear strategy and build robust operational processes.
Objectives and Aims
The Governing Document define the charity objects as being to:
The relief of poverty and sickness anywhere in the world, especially for those affected by natural disaster or by wars and other conflict, through the provision of financial or other assistance, including medicines, hospitals, shelter and food.
We have had a steady year of operations with our appeals supporting vulnerable communities with essential food packs and olive trees in Palestine, lifesaving winter relief including food and blankets in Yemen, supporting education for girls in Bangladesh and providing essential mosque repair works too.
Looking Ahead
As we look to re-configure, we remain committed to our core effort being to provide relief of poverty through a host of interventions including orphan care, water solutions, food security, cash programming and responding to disasters. We will focus on the agenda of localisation working with trusted partner organisations worldwide achieving greater impact.
Financial Review
The financial statements show an income of £71,838 which derives solely from donations, no gift aid claim was made during the year. During the year the charity spent £39,890 mainly to provide funds for projects carried out.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global COVID-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for the next 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of ZAIMAH
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2020 which are set out on pages 4 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
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:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
