Structure, governance and management
Being Humanitarian is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The memorandum and articles of Association, under its previous name Humanitarian Europe, were incorporated on 16 January 2013 and amended by special resolution when re-registered at Companies House on 2 January 2014. The name change to Being Humanitarian was amended by a special resolution on 6 June 2014 and subsequently registered with Companies House on 12 June 2014 and with the Charity Commission on 25 June 2014.
The organisation is established as a charitable company under a memorandum of association which establishes the objects and powers of the charitable company and it is governed under its articles of association.
Being Humanitarian's main activities are carried out from its offices in London.
Organisation
The trustees meet at least quarterly as a full board.
Risk management
A risk register is in place which includes the major risks which are likely to affect the operation of the charity. This is considered at the each meeting of the trustees and any action which may be required is determined.
Those risks assessed to be if greatest significance remains those relating to our financial position. These are both internal over level of reserves, and external the ability of our funders in the current economic climate to continue their support of us. Control systems have been put place to ensure rapid action when required, for example when programme is not renewed, and these are monitored by the resources committee between meetings of the trustees.
Risk management policy
The trustees confirm that they identify and review on an annual basis the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have established systems to manage these risks and have implemented procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should these risks materialise. During the year actual risk assessments were carried out on governance, fundraising, competition, operations, information technology, finances and legal compliance.

Achievements and performance
During the years 2024-2025, the scope of our charitable operations focused on completing our projects of food and nutrition, emergency relief, healthcare, water sanitation and hygiene, livelihoods, education and religious and community support.
Projects included food distributions, Ramadan and Eid support, cooked meals, free fruit and vegetable shop and qurbani programs that brought relief to vulnerable families. In healthcare, we organized eye care services, cataract surgeries, wheelchair and artificial limb distributions and maternal and neonatal assistance. Clean water initiatives included water filtration plants, solar water stations and hand pumps to provide safe drinking water to underserved communities. Livelihoods and education were strengthened through vocational training centres and small business support for families in need. Community and religious support included Mosque construction and Quran distribution. Seasonal and emergency relief including food packs and winter kits further extended timely assistance to communities facing urgent needs. Through these diverse projects, we improved lives, restored dignity and fostered resilience across multiple regions.
Being Humanitarian in collaboration with partners including Children of Pakistan Earthquake, WMS Global, Medics Across Continents, Al Firdous, Al Wahab Foundation, Teebah Foundation, Blackburn UK Trust and some individual donors, successfully delivered a wide range of humanitarian interventions across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa, and beyond.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
Financial review
The Charity received donation and funds £116,899 during the period. Total outgoing resources amounted to £103,442 of which £65,253 was expended on direct charitable activities and £38,189 on the costs of running the office and on other Governance costs.
Total available funds at 31 March 2025 amounted to £116,382 of which £91,333 related to restricted funds and £25,049 was available for unrestricted purposes.
The Trustees are satisfied that the charity's activities during the period have met their objectives and are satisfied with the financial position at the period end.
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the Being Humanitarian's needs for reserves in line with the guidance, issued by the Charity Commission where the term "reserves" describes that part of a charity's income funds that is freely available for its general purposes at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the charity's objects.
The Trustees believe that the Being Humanitarian should hold financial reserves {an Emergency Operating Reserve (EOR)} because:
i) It has no endowment funding and is entirely dependent for income upon donor funding from year to year which is inevitably subject to fluctuation, and
ii) It requires protection against and the ability to continue operating despite catastrophic or lesser but damaging events.
The Trustees believe that the minimum level of the EOR should normally be the equivalent of six months' (non project funded) organisational operating costs plus six months' salary commitments for all staff. The intention of the Trustees remains that the EOR should be built up to the desired level in stages consistent with the charity's overall financial position and its need to maintain and develop its charitable activities. This is particularly appropriate in light of the global economic climate and the risks that pose to the robustness of funding.

Plans for future periods
For the future, the Trustees plan on a more aggressive strategy, building on its past successes, to expand the scope of its operation, in line with its stated objectives. To increase the charities outreach, the trustees have revised its objectives and will now be working globally to alleviate suffering of the vulnerable. We shall further strive to forge collaborations, encashing our partners on ground experience and skills to provide an enhanced experience to the needy.
Our focus will remain to develop projects in Health, Water, Community Centres (Mosque), Education, Financial Hardships that are sustainable and address the root cause of the problem. Disaster recovery/rehabilitation is also an area of our focus; however, we sincerely pray that the coming year remains tranquil and safe for everyone.
Fundraising activities
The Trustees review the Charity's fundraising activities at the Annual General Meeting and the Executive Committee also monitors progress on fundraising activities at its quarterly meetings to ensure all known sources of funds are approached for financial support.

3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Office Equipment - 20% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
4. Limited by guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Each member gives a guarantee to contribute a sum not exceeding £10, to the company should it be wound up. At 31 March 2019 there were 3 members.
