Report of the Trustees and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st March 2025 for Global One 2015

Global One 2015

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

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 2025. 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:

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 year has been a difficult year for us as we have spent some time re-evaluating the impact of the work that we do. Our policy and advocacy work on the global stage has really been significant with participation in many key UN moments and events aligned with our core themes and focussing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We continued to work tirelessly with the vulnerable communities in Africa and the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh despite the increased global charitable donor focus on the Middle East.

Global One 2015

Report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

PROJECTS FOR PERIOD 2023-24

Our thematic areas focus is on Livelihoods, Agriculture, Global Health and WASH [water, sanitation and hygiene].

Rohingya Health Post

Our work in the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazaar Bangladesh has continued unhindered despite receiving less funding for projects there. We have been providing life-saving support to the Rohingya refugees in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar.Global One 2015 since 2017. We managed to maintain our activities this past year with approx. 10000 patients each month from our health post. Our ambulance continues to be a lifeline for the patients, particularly pregnant women.

Orphans Sponsorship Project

Our Orphan project supported many orphans in Nigeria and Bangladesh, by providing services according to their individual needs including school uniforms, food disbursements, medicine and educational fees.

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.

WASH Hygiene Kit Distribution and Food aid

We have supported many beneficiaries during this period with the provision of wells, shelters, blankets, food and hygiene kits through our country offices. 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 including solar powered wells and large community water facilities. This has really changed the lives of our beneficiaries, 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 events

We have continued to engage with international institutions, academic institutions including SOAS, Oxford University and University of Birmingham, and the United Nations. This is to amplify the voices of the global south, climate justice and women of faith by participation and also curating events and conferences on leadership. Participation and speaking engagements in the Middle East have included in Saudi Arabia for the IsDB annual meeting and the UNCCD in Riyadh, Muslim World League conference in Makkah, DICID conference in Doha, Qatar.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For this financial year, the charitable company has shown a net surplus of £13,969 (2024: a net surplus of £577). This is was primarily due to the increase in core funding.

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 £ 90,718 were available to the charity compared to £ 76,749 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

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Global One 2015 has a risk management strategy which comprises:

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.

In carrying out my exmination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

17. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions this year and the previous year

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:

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.
