Trustees, Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
OBJEcfs AND AcrIvrrIES
APASEN International is dedicated to enhancing the lives of vulnerable individuals with learning
disabilities, autism, and other special need5 in both urban and rural communities in Bangladesh.
Through collaborative efforts with local partners and stakeholders, we provide a comprehensive
range of services in health. education, and poverty reduction. Our work goes beyond service
provision to reduce discrimination and stigma. fostering a more inclusive society.
APASEN, a leading diaspora-led charity in the UK (No. 1114290}. has over four decades of
experience in the health ar)d social care sector for people with learning about disabilities, autism,
and other special needs. We are committed to expanding our services and establishing new
centres in Bangladesh, and our registration with the NGO Affairs Bureau in Bangladesh
(Registration No. 30961 reflects our dedication and long-tem plans.
We launched a schooling programme in August 2019. initially catering to 12 children with autism
aged 4-8, in collaboration with Phoenix London under Project Phoenix School, Sylhet. This
initiative demonstrates our commitment to supporting children with speci31 needs. even in
challenging circumstances.
Inauguration and Day Centre Opening:
In November 2019. APASEN International officially inaugurated its Day Centre services. The
event was attended by the British High Commissioner. Foreign Minister, Planning Minister of
Bangladesh, and other distir)guished delegates. Initially, the day centre admitted 12 learners
aged 10-18 years with various disabilities.
Students and Learners:
Currently, we have 37 students:
In the school. we have children aged 5-12 years with autism.
In the Day Centre, we support young people with multiple disabilities aged 10-18 years.
Last year, we directly served more than 50 students. Some of our students have successfully
moved on to mainstream schools after improving their learning abilities.
Due to limited space, we cannot admit more students, although parents visit daily seeking
admission for their children. At present, we are recognised as one of the best service providers for
children with disabilities, both within the local community and by government officials.

APASEN INTERNATIONAL
Trustees, Report for the year ended 31 March 2025
The student-teacher ratio is less than 2=1. Many of our learners require one-to-one support due
to hyperactivity. We face challenges in providing the best Se￿iCe because of a shortage of
teachers. The grant we receive from Apasen UK is insuff icient, particularly as we urgently need
3dditional funding to recruit more teachers and care officers.
Activities Provided (April 2024 - March 2025)
Apasen International operates a project for children and young adults with disabilities. The project
has two wings:
l. Apasen Phoenix School, Sylhet - supporting children with autism aged 4-8 years.
2. Apasen Day Care Centre, Sylhet - supporting young adults with different disabilities aged
10-18 years.
Init1311y. school admission was limited to children aged 4-8. and Day Centre admission to those
aged 12-18. However. due to space and teacher shortages. the school now has students aged up
to 11, and the Day Centre includes young adults over 18. Some of our students have been with
Us for more than six years, requiring us to review our admission and service policy.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
l Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial ststements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting
by Charities= Ststement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021- Icharities SORP FRS 1021, The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102} and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fairf view and have departed
from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to
provide a 'true and fair view,. This departure has involved followir)g Accounting and Reporting
by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Stsndard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) rather than the Accounting and
Reporting by Charities.. Ststement of Recommended Practice effective from l April 2005
which has since been withdrawn.
Assets 2nd liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
In applying the financial reporting framework. the Trustees have made a number of subjective
judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and
judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstsnces. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from
those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial
statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.
The financial ststements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the
charity and are rounded to the nearest £1.
Public benefit entty
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going Concem
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary
donations as well as grants and appeal income. Trustees are satisfied thaL at the time of
approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of
any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income recognition
Income. whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions. is recognised in the
statement of f inancial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis. when a transaction or other
event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only
when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled
to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All ir)come is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

APASEN INTERNATIONAL
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Donated goods, facilities and services
Donated services 2nd facilities including the use of premises. are recognised in the accounts
at the value of the benefit received by the charity. Where the value of the gift can be
measured reliably, these contributions are recorded as donation income at the point they
are received, with a corresponding expense of the same value. This ensures that the
accounts fully reflect the economic benefit provided to charity through donated resources.
Recognition of liabilities and expenditure
A liability. and the related expenditure. is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation
exists as a result of 2 Past event. and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic
benefits will be required in settlemenL and when the amount of the obligation can be
measured or reliably estimated.
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations. including
performance related grants. where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure
required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which
is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in
liabilities 2nd is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period and reversed if
any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the
respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Creditors and provisions
All creditors and provision arising from ongoing activities are included.
Financial instruments including cash and bank balances
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year
end. Bank balances,whetherin creditoroverdrawn, are shown attheamounts properly
reconciled to the bank statements.
2 Liability to taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the conditions set out in Paragraph l of
Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 2010 for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity
is potentially exempt from tsxation on income and capitsl gains falling within the provisions of
Chapter 3, Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of
Chargeable Gains Act 1992. to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to
the charitsble purpose5 of the organisation and not for any other purpose.
Value Added Tax (VAT) incurred by the charity is not recoverable and is therefore included
within the relevant expense categories in the Ststement of Financial Activities.
