Relief of Hardship Activities
In this our eigth year, One Nation continues providing support and aid to those suffering hardships, through the following projects:
One Nation's Response to Pakistan Floods: Rebuilding Lives and Communities
The devastating floods in Pakistan have left countless families without homes and necessities. In response, One Nation has taken significant steps to support those affected, demonstrating a strong commitment to rebuilding lives and communities.
One of the most remarkable achievements has been the construction of hundreds of homes in a newly established village called Bab al Rayyan. This village stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, offering a fresh start for many families who lost everything in the floods. The new homes provide a safe and secure environment, essential for the long-term recovery of these communities.
Global Food Distribution and Winter
One Nation has been steadfast in its commitment to alleviating hunger and providing essential aid across the globe. Every month, food supplies have been delivered to vulnerable communities in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America. These efforts ensure that countless families receive the nutrition they need to survive and thrive.
In addition to monthly food distributions, One Nation has also prioritised winter aid support in various countries across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Recognising the harsh conditions faced by many during the colder months, One Nation has provided essential items such as warm clothing, blankets, and heating supplies to help families withstand the winter chill.
Dates Project
During the year One Nation started a dates project with local partners in providing funding to farmers in Jordan as an Income Generating Project.
The charity played a significant role in supporting farmers in Jordan, particularly in the cultivation of dates. Their initiatives are aimed at improving agricultural practices, enhancing yield, and ensuring that farmers receive a fair price for their produce. This assistance not only aids in the economic stability of the farmers but also contributes to the overall agricultural development in the region.
This funding helped farmers invest in necessary equipment and infrastructure improvements and encourage environmentally sustainable farming practices that protect the land and water resources.
By empowering farmers with these resources and support systems, One Nation helps to create a more sustainable and profitable agricultural sector in Jordan. A fair price is paid in acquiring the produce to resell in the UK so that the any excess made in this trade can be used to reach more deserving people around the world (see related party trasaction note).
Building Homes Across the Globe
One Nation has made remarkable strides in providing homes for impoverished and needy families across various regions. In Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Rohingya refugee community, India, and Zambia, we have successfully constructed numerous homes, offering stability and hope to those who need it most.
Our housing projects are designed to create safe, secure, and sustainable living environments for families who have faced extreme hardships. Each home is built with careful consideration of the local conditions and community needs, ensuring that the structures are resilient and suitable for long-term habitation.
Our commitment to constructing homes in these regions underscores our dedication to making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of the poor and needy worldwide. Through these initiatives, One Nation continues to build a brighter, more secure future for countless families across the globe.
Supporting Education Around the
One Nation is dedicated to transforming the lives of orphans and Hifz students around the world through our comprehensive sponsorship programs. By providing financial support, educational resources, and personal encouragement, we help ensure that these young individuals have the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Our support played a key role in the aftermath of the Türkiye-Syria earthquake, where we delivered life-saving aid and resources to help affected communities cope with the severe impact of the earthquake.
We were also strategically positioned to provide essential support to those in Malawi impacted by Cyclone Freddy. Additionally, we delivered critical aid in the aftermath of the earthquake in Morocco and the flooding in Libya.

Independent auditor's report to the trustees of One Nation
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of One Nation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2023 which comprise statement of financial of activities, balance sheet, cash flow and notes to the financial statements, 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 30th September 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 the Charities Act 2011.
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 charity 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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
· the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ 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.
8 of 21
One Nation Registered charity
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; 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 page 9, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which 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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144[1] of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity’s internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
9 of 21
One Nation Registered charity
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Investment income is included when receivable.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid on donation is considered when received and is added to the general purposes fund.
Donated goods where provided to the charity are included in the financial statements at their fair value unless its fair value cannot be reliably measured, then the cost to the donor or resale value of goods is used. A value for donated goods has been included in the financial statements from August 2016 onwards. Prior to this the Charity had no policy to value and account for donated goods.
d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
