Volunteers We encourage all volunteers in our charityto be involved in voluntsry activities and to share their skills with others. Volunteers are not paid any salaries but can receive reasonable out of pocket expenses such as travel cost. All our trustees also give their time freely. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable Artivities The Trust provided aid through food rations and monetary aid to the poor and needy, including orphans and widows, in mainSy the eastern area in Pakistan. Education facilities were also given to the orphans. We sponsored more than 160 orphans. Floods are now an annual event in Pakistan and we have to cater for that in the region where we operate in Pakistan. This year was no exception and although less than previous years, the local partners were supported with helping those communities in need. This has particularly impacted thefarming communitywhose cropswere destroyed. Our local partners continue to assist in providing food parcels to the widows, disabled and needy persons. At least 3 families are being assisted with long term financial support monthly due to no wage earner in the family or income earners have disabilities preventing them from working. Last 10 days of Ramadhan iftar meals were sponsored which beneffted orphaned and poor Students. More than 600 children were provided support with their education and meals on a regular basis. Our education sUPPOrt continues to empower future generations. We also provided further education support in the form of sponsoring 22 teachers for 6 months. The filtration plant completed in 2022 continues to provide much needed clean filtered water to residents of the town. 5 houses were provided with bore hole hand pumped water thanks to the generosity of our donors. At least 620 people benefited with monthly meat meals (goat sadaqah). Due to limited funds for Mosque construction. we could not progress on the Mosque project this year but hope to raise more funds next year in order to go some way to complete the project. The Solar panel project started last year was completed this year. Project cost had increased due to the increased costs for materials. These solar panels will supply the electrictty needs for a Mosque, 2 blocks of boarding buildings and a school. This will reduce the electricity bills and benefits should be seen from next year onwards. The Qurbani project income was higher than last year. due to the increase in prices and also an increase in the number of donors. Ourannual Qurbani distribution and food pack programme reached some of the most vulnerable families, bringing dignity and relief during key times of hardship. The success of HW Trust is down to its committed and passionate trustees and benefactors. There was a big increase in donationsas compared to lastyear. Thiswas made possible bycollectionsat a number of mosques and institutions together will help from more friends and family. The expenditure was comparable to last year. We foresee an increase in expenditure next year as we aim to provide more support to local NGOS working in the flood hit areas near South Punjab Pakistan. The Trustees consider that the activities undertaken provide benefit to the communities they support and confirm that in exercising their powers and duties, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefft published bythe Charity Commission and have complied with their duties under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.
