## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Significant activities**
**1. Education support:** Education remains the focus of charity activities. The charity supports students in their education on regular basis through payments of fees and other school expenses. The charity currently supports more than 300+ students. All students are from shaheed families or under privileged background. All students progressed to the next year of education during 2024. The spectrum of students are from class 1 to university level a nd specialised subjects
In 2024, we managed to get 10 of our students on Baluchistan government Fees Scholarship. This is valid for a year.
The cost of school fees varies based on nature of school and the level of education, for example, the total cost of graduate program is around £40-50 per month. Based on current distribution of students, the average monthly cost is £30 per month per student.
**2. Ramazan ration support:** Like last year, charity distributed basic Iftar ration to 300 families in Pakistan for the month of Ramazan. The ration included flour, rice, different varieties of lentils, oil, tea, milk, sugar, concentrated drinks, vermicelli, gram flour and dates etc. The distribution was done in Skardu, Parachinar, northern Punjab, and Karac hi.
**3. Qurbani support:** The charity helped community in performing their Eid ul Azha duties by performing 42 qurbanis on their behalf. The meat was distributed amongst more than 400 families. The qurbanis were performed in Parach inar, Skardu, Karachi and Wah in Pakistan.
**4. Winter support:** The charity provided more than 100 blankets, quilts and fire wood to the people in need in Pakistan. Firew ood was provided to some homes in Skardu, Northern Pakistan
## **5. One-off support:**
a. The charity contributed the cost of 250 pairs of shoes for "Malls of Smile" orphanage market. Charity has been supporting this campaign for last few years. This is once a year event held in Karachi by Cure Pakistan. About 500 orphans are invited to the marketplace. They are given paper token money to buy things. The marketplace has all kinds of necessities for the children.
b. The charity provided financial support for weddings of 5 different families.
c. Charity provided regular family support to 2 families and one off support to 2 families. In addition, Charity provided funeral support for one family.
Trustees express sincere thanks to all the Donors for their support. Without their support the above would not have been possible.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SUPPORTING HANDS (UK)**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of SUPPORTING HANDS (UK)**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of SUPPORTING HANDS (UK) (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
