Global One 2015
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal objectives of Global One 2015, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are as follows:
-
(a) The prevention or relief of poverty worldwide by providing natural and economic resources and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
-
(b) The prevention or relief of poverty anywhere in the world through undertaking and supporting research into factors which contribute to poverty and the most appropriate ways to mitigate these.
-
(c) The promotion of sustainable development for the benefit of the public on a global scale.
-
(d) The advancement of health through the promotion of health, and prevention or relief of sickness, disease or human suffering.
Global One 2015 has developed a unique model aiming to advance innovative sustainable solutions that are faith inspired and improve the livelihoods and wellbeing of all women. We are proud to be a women-led forward thinking organisation dedicated to developing a world where women of all beliefs are empowered to make their own choices and transform their communities, inspired by an understanding of faith and cultural perspectives.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity's activities, grants and plans accord with this guidance.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This has been a very strange year for everyone globally due to the COVID 19 pandemic disrupting our lives. We have moved to remote working from home and continuing our work through the country offices under very difficult situations with lockdowns and high death rates globally. Despite the challenges we managed to continue to support our beneficiaries and their families both internationally and in the UK. For the first time we made a concerted effort to promote community fundraising through TV and social media. Educating our community about the challenges and hurdles that women face in the Global South and in the UK is a task that we take seriously and believe we have made some inroads in that respect.
We wish to thank our three departing trustees for their tireless support and efforts since the establishment of the charity.
We have established a further three country offices in Jordan, Sri Lanka and Somalia. We are delighted to be officially recognised by the UN as an organisation with consultative status under the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

PROJECTS FOR PERIOD 2020-21
Our thematic areas focus on Livelihoods, Agriculture, Global Health and WASH [water, sanitation and hygiene].
Repairing Hope [ Comic Relief]
Repairing Hope had to be extended because of the COVID 19 pandemic but we still completed the project very successfully with wonderful feedback from Comic Relief. The project focussed on raising awareness of maternal health issues among communities in Kenya's Garissa County, specifically newborn nutrition and the causes of obstetric fistula from a faith-based perspective. It provided practical help in addressing both issues through the provision of new-born essentials packs and training in fistula relief surgery.
Over the course of three years, this project used a faith-based approach to 1) raise awareness of issues surrounding new-born nutrition and the causes of obstetric fistulas; 2) create demand among communities for services in these areas; and 3) provide practical solutions. On completion of the project all the equipment was given to the Ministry of Health, Garissa County and a Fistula repair clinic was opened to ensure the continuity of this important work.
Rohingya Health Post
We continue to provide life saving support to the Rohingya refugees in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar. Global One 2015 had established 4 medical health posts which serviced approximately 24,000 patients each month, and provided training to vulnerable women on good sanitation practices. Due to funding constraints we are now working with one health post with a full array of professional staff. Our ambulance has also been a lifeline for many during the pandemic.
Box for Life
Global One 2015 has a lifesaving product successful in all regions we work. Our Box-For-Life distribution project. The project aims to provide mothers and new-borns with all the essential required for a healthy start to life, resources to train local women to become community health workers, and a manual on how to produce reusable nappies. We have delivered hundreds of Box for life products in the refugee camps.
With the support of Al Imdaad Foundation we were able to support a number of our country offices to support vulnerable pregnant women to a better start in life for their new born babies with a Box for Life. The cot was a particularly welcome during the winter months along with heating stoves and warm clothing and blankets for mother and baby.
Orphans Sponsorship Project
Our Orphan project supported by Orphans in Need continues to support 160 orphans in Kenya and Bangladesh, by providing services according to their individual needs including school uniforms, food disbursements, medicine and educational fees. We have expanded our efforts to support 100 orphans in Nigeria through our community fundraising efforts.
Ramadan and Qurbani Distribution
These seasonal projects take place during the Islamic month of Ramadan and on the festival of Eid ul Adha. We provided food packs for beneficiaries according to the funds received by donors; as well as conducting the qurbani [religious slaughtering of animals] for our donors.
Global One 2015
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
WASH Hygiene Kit Distribution and Food aid
We have supported many beneficiaries during the COVID 19 pandemic with the provision of wells, food and hygiene kits both in UK and through our country offices. The London Community Foundation funded a project in London where were able to collaborate with faith institutions and other charities to support families impacted by the pandemic. We also delivered both hot meals and with food supplies during Ramadan through our own community fundraising as well as with donor organisations support. Hundreds of wells have been installed for our community; including solar powered wells and large community water facilities. This has really changed the lives of our beneficiaires, especially women as they are able to focus on education, family and paid work instead of wasting hours each day on fetching water, worrying about safety and security or becoming ill due to unsafe water.
Institutional policy and advocacy projects on Environment
Green Peace MENA supported a project on Greening the Hajj. Global One 2015 developed the second version of the Green Guide to Hajj and Umrah. The original version had been produced and published 10 years ago. Winchester University commissioned Global One 2015 to produce an Evidence Review on Faith Approaches to Climate Change and the Environment. They also commissioned us to produce a Policy Brief.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
For this financial year, the charitable company has shown a net surplus of £89,267 (2020: deficit of £67,054). This is was primarily due to the increase in core funding and the significant scale down of its administrative overhead commitments.
Global One 2015 continues to exercise tight budgetary control over resources expended. During the year the charity has incurred direct expenditure in fulfilling the contracts to deliver the essential support and services to beneficiaries as well as support costs incurred to support the charitable projects.
At the current year end funds of £102,185 were available to the charity compared to £12,918 from the preceding period. The trustees would like its total reserves to remain at approximately two months of its total overheads to ensure that the staff and operations are properly protected. The trustees expect the charity to have adequate resources in the foreseeable future and the accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
FUTURE PLANS
-
(a) Global One 2015 will continue to contribute to policy level discussions, and conferences on how we can empower women to support the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
-
(b) We will be leaving our HQ in Bounds Green, London and adopting a more hybrid method of working. This will enable cost saving and safety for our staff.
-
(c) We will learn the lessons from our first venture into community fundraising and put into practice lessons learnt moving forward.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
-
(a) The organisation is a UK registered charity with the Charities Commission and its governing document is its memorandum and articles of association. It originally incorporated on 4 February 2011 and began the process of registering as a charity at that time. Registration with the Charity Commission was obtained on 21 August 2014
-
(b) The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees are by invitation of the Board.
-
(c) The procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees – we have an induction pack and programme for new trustees
-
(d) The organisational structure places overall responsibility of the charity upon the Board which delegates decision making responsibilities for day to day management to the Chief Executive and senior management team.
-
(e) The charity works internationally with registered country offices in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Somalia and Jordan.
-
(f) The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The organisation has in place a risk assessment policy, whistle blowing policy and antifraud, and theft and corruption policy. We also ensure that all external audit reports are placed before the Board of Directors for their perusal.
Global One 2015 has a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
An annual review of the risks our various projects face
-
The establishment of budget review systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified within an initial project proposal
-
To ensure further mitigation we are planning to develop an organisation risk register that will allow us to monitor and manage risks on a quarterly basis.
This work has identified risks for which better emergency procedures and contingency plans had to be established. Being a small NGO risk management starts at employment. We hire staff who demonstrate strong skill sets, knowledge or competencies necessary to manage security appropriately. Staff are encouraged to undergo project management training and our collaborative partnerships with other NGOs ensure training in effectiveness.

18. GOING CONCERN
In common with a number charities of similar size, the charity is dependent on contract income from a number of other charities.
The Trustees are of the opinion that the accounts should be drawn up on a going concern basis because they anticipate that, in the normal course of events, adequate funding will become available to allow the charity to continue to operate and to meet its commitments in full. In making this statement, the Trustees have considered:
-
(a) Cash flow projections for a period spanning twelve months from the date on which the accounts were approved;
-
(b) The measures implemented to significantly reduce operating costs;
-
(c) The likelihood of the charity being able to renegotiate existing and to secure new contracts; and or agreements reached with a number of creditors either to defer repayments or to make settlements by instalments.
The Trustees, however, acknowledge that these matters are inherently uncertain and in the event of the charity failing to renegotiate exisitng contracts or fail to secure new contracts or a loan for repayment, difficulties could result which would necessitate revision of the Trustees plans.

Report of the Trustees and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2021 for Global One 2015
Global One 2015
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal objectives of Global One 2015, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are as follows:
-
(a) The prevention or relief of poverty worldwide by providing natural and economic resources and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
-
(b) The prevention or relief of poverty anywhere in the world through undertaking and supporting research into factors which contribute to poverty and the most appropriate ways to mitigate these.
-
(c) The promotion of sustainable development for the benefit of the public on a global scale.
-
(d) The advancement of health through the promotion of health, and prevention or relief of sickness, disease or human suffering.
Global One 2015 has developed a unique model aiming to advance innovative sustainable solutions that are faith inspired and improve the livelihoods and wellbeing of all women. We are proud to be a women-led forward thinking organisation dedicated to developing a world where women of all beliefs are empowered to make their own choices and transform their communities, inspired by an understanding of faith and cultural perspectives.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity's activities, grants and plans accord with this guidance.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This has been a very strange year for everyone globally due to the COVID 19 pandemic disrupting our lives. We have moved to remote working from home and continuing our work through the country offices under very difficult situations with lockdowns and high death rates globally. Despite the challenges we managed to continue to support our beneficiaries and their families both internationally and in the UK. For the first time we made a concerted effort to promote community fundraising through TV and social media. Educating our community about the challenges and hurdles that women face in the Global South and in the UK is a task that we take seriously and believe we have made some inroads in that respect.
We wish to thank our three departing trustees for their tireless support and efforts since the establishment of the charity.
We have established a further three country offices in Jordan, Sri Lanka and Somalia. We are delighted to be officially recognised by the UN as an organisation with consultative status under the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
PROJECTS FOR PERIOD 2020-21
Our thematic areas focus on Livelihoods, Agriculture, Global Health and WASH [water, sanitation and hygiene].
Repairing Hope [ Comic Relief]
Repairing Hope had to be extended because of the COVID 19 pandemic but we still completed the project very successfully with wonderful feedback from Comic Relief. The project focussed on raising awareness of maternal health issues among communities in Kenya's Garissa County, specifically newborn nutrition and the causes of obstetric fistula from a faith-based perspective. It provided practical help in addressing both issues through the provision of new-born essentials packs and training in fistula relief surgery.
Over the course of three years, this project used a faith-based approach to 1) raise awareness of issues surrounding new-born nutrition and the causes of obstetric fistulas; 2) create demand among communities for services in these areas; and 3) provide practical solutions. On completion of the project all the equipment was given to the Ministry of Health, Garissa County and a Fistula repair clinic was opened to ensure the continuity of this important work.
Rohingya Health Post
We continue to provide life saving support to the Rohingya refugees in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar. Global One 2015 had established 4 medical health posts which serviced approximately 24,000 patients each month, and provided training to vulnerable women on good sanitation practices. Due to funding constraints we are now working with one health post with a full array of professional staff. Our ambulance has also been a lifeline for many during the pandemic.
Box for Life
Global One 2015 has a lifesaving product successful in all regions we work. Our Box-For-Life distribution project. The project aims to provide mothers and new-borns with all the essential required for a healthy start to life, resources to train local women to become community health workers, and a manual on how to produce reusable nappies. We have delivered hundreds of Box for life products in the refugee camps.
With the support of Al Imdaad Foundation we were able to support a number of our country offices to support vulnerable pregnant women to a better start in life for their new born babies with a Box for Life. The cot was a particularly welcome during the winter months along with heating stoves and warm clothing and blankets for mother and baby.
Orphans Sponsorship Project
Our Orphan project supported by Orphans in Need continues to support 160 orphans in Kenya and Bangladesh, by providing services according to their individual needs including school uniforms, food disbursements, medicine and educational fees. We have expanded our efforts to support 100 orphans in Nigeria through our community fundraising efforts.
Ramadan and Qurbani Distribution
These seasonal projects take place during the Islamic month of Ramadan and on the festival of Eid ul Adha. We provided food packs for beneficiaries according to the funds received by donors; as well as conducting the qurbani [religious slaughtering of animals] for our donors.
Global One 2015
Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
WASH Hygiene Kit Distribution and Food aid
We have supported many beneficiaries during the COVID 19 pandemic with the provision of wells, food and hygiene kits both in UK and through our country offices. The London Community Foundation funded a project in London where were able to collaborate with faith institutions and other charities to support families impacted by the pandemic. We also delivered both hot meals and with food supplies during Ramadan through our own community fundraising as well as with donor organisations support. Hundreds of wells have been installed for our community; including solar powered wells and large community water facilities. This has really changed the lives of our beneficiaires, especially women as they are able to focus on education, family and paid work instead of wasting hours each day on fetching water, worrying about safety and security or becoming ill due to unsafe water.
Institutional policy and advocacy projects on Environment
Green Peace MENA supported a project on Greening the Hajj. Global One 2015 developed the second version of the Green Guide to Hajj and Umrah. The original version had been produced and published 10 years ago. Winchester University commissioned Global One 2015 to produce an Evidence Review on Faith Approaches to Climate Change and the Environment. They also commissioned us to produce a Policy Brief.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
For this financial year, the charitable company has shown a net surplus of £89,267 (2020: deficit of £67,054). This is was primarily due to the increase in core funding and the significant scale down of its administrative overhead commitments.
Global One 2015 continues to exercise tight budgetary control over resources expended. During the year the charity has incurred direct expenditure in fulfilling the contracts to deliver the essential support and services to beneficiaries as well as support costs incurred to support the charitable projects.
At the current year end funds of £102,185 were available to the charity compared to £12,918 from the preceding period. The trustees would like its total reserves to remain at approximately two months of its total overheads to ensure that the staff and operations are properly protected. The trustees expect the charity to have adequate resources in the foreseeable future and the accounts have been drawn up on a going concern basis.
FUTURE PLANS
-
(a) Global One 2015 will continue to contribute to policy level discussions, and conferences on how we can empower women to support the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
-
(b) We will be leaving our HQ in Bounds Green, London and adopting a more hybrid method of working. This will enable cost saving and safety for our staff.
-
(c) We will learn the lessons from our first venture into community fundraising and put into practice lessons learnt moving forward.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
-
(a) The organisation is a UK registered charity with the Charities Commission and its governing document is its memorandum and articles of association. It originally incorporated on 4 February 2011 and began the process of registering as a charity at that time. Registration with the Charity Commission was obtained on 21 August 2014
-
(b) The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees are by invitation of the Board.
-
(c) The procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees – we have an induction pack and programme for new trustees
-
(d) The organisational structure places overall responsibility of the charity upon the Board which delegates decision making responsibilities for day to day management to the Chief Executive and senior management team.
-
(e) The charity works internationally with registered country offices in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Somalia and Jordan.
-
(f) The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The organisation has in place a risk assessment policy, whistle blowing policy and antifraud, and theft and corruption policy. We also ensure that all external audit reports are placed before the Board of Directors for their perusal.
Global One 2015 has a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
An annual review of the risks our various projects face
-
The establishment of budget review systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified within an initial project proposal
-
To ensure further mitigation we are planning to develop an organisation risk register that will allow us to monitor and manage risks on a quarterly basis.
This work has identified risks for which better emergency procedures and contingency plans had to be established. Being a small NGO risk management starts at employment. We hire staff who demonstrate strong skill sets, knowledge or competencies necessary to manage security appropriately. Staff are encouraged to undergo project management training and our collaborative partnerships with other NGOs ensure training in effectiveness.
