THE TRUSTEES’ REPORT Khushkhabri Fellowship (KKF)

British Charity (CIO) Number: 1161435

The KKF charity has continued to carry on various voluntary activities and events throughout the year from 31 March 2022 to 31 March 2023. The trustees usually take care of the administrative responsibilities along with governing the events, programmes, and projects. The trustees met 4 times during the year as our constitution requires (we usually meet through zoom since the Covid epidemic and lockdowns, we do meet up in person during the events).

The constitution and procedures are followed through during the whole year, the facts are provided and discussed by the trustees, the reports are produced, signed by the secretory, and presented, and the decisions are made and implemented in our events and programmes. The projects, events, concerns, budget and various other issues and challenges are brought to the attention of the KKF trustees, then the solutions are discussed, and the responsibilities are divided among the trustees. We find different task groups and volunteers as they are needed.

We aim to have the first Trustees meeting of the year to also be a general or open meeting where any volunteer from different ministries or anyone from any task group or organising committee can join the trustees for a fellowship lunch and they can freely ask questions during the open Q&A session. The other three meetings are closed meetings unless we ask someone from the task groups to come, in order to report on their project or event.

We have weekly or monthly events like book-table, teaching free of charge, prayer & fellowship meetings, hospitality, etc. Different task groups met several times (on zoom) during the year as required by the task or organising group, in the same way, the annual conference organising committee met on zoom or hybrid meetings on a number of times to plan and execute the yearly conference.

Here is the summary of some of the events run weekly, monthly, and yearly.

1: Book-table Outreach: We have continued to meet members of the public through the book-table ministry every Tuesday from 12.00 noon till 4.00pm in the Town Centre, High Wycombe. There was a suggestion to increase one hour which had been implemented, now we have been having the book-table ministry from 11.00am to 4.00pm since last year. It serves the public and students at the New Bucks University, the students have to pass by our book-table before they reach the main gate of the University. This is the way; we have continued the book-table every week regardless of the weather since 2008. We meet people who are interested in receiving help from our volunteers through multiple projects that are run by the KKF Charity.

KKF had the privilege not only to reach out to the local community and students in High Wycombe but also to help build the interfaith communities in High Wycombe, other cities in the UK, and beyond. Now the KKF charity has been making a difference in Pakistan as well.

The bookable outreach involves the free distribution of books, booklets, leaflets, DVDs, CDs, Bibles and calendars every week, month and year which are paid for from the KKF funds. We give out the literature to the community free of charge.

2: Hospitality: Friendships and relationships have been developed through Peace and Faith Events over the years and the participants visit each other to strengthen the friendships and relationships. Pastor Mahand and his wife have developed many friendships from all kinds of ethnic and religious backgrounds, and they continue to welcome friends and visitors who pop into their home for tea or coffee and a chat from 31 March 2022 to 31 March 2023. Pastor Mahand and his wife have become glue between Asians and the Western community in

High Wycombe and beyond. It has helped the community to get together around one cause of humanity, friendship, relationships.

Pastor Mahand and his family have become family to many people from the local community and they get invitations from the families in the community as well. The costs involved are met by him and his wife and reimbursed by his employer, World Harvest Mission (UK).

3: Partnership between the Council for Christian Muslim Relations (CCMR) and KKF: The KKF continues to maintain a good relationship and offers a close partnership with the CCMR (Council for Christian and Muslim Relations, founded in 2006), and two KKF trustees continue to be a part of CCMR meetings. The CCMR and KKF continue to help each other on a voluntary basis as long as it is in the interest of the community in High Wycombe.

Several members from CCMR come to KKF’s events especially “Peace and Faith Discussions” & “Qawwali and Dinner gatherings” to support and help at the KKF events. The events are organised and funded by KKF charity.

4: Community Services: Our volunteers continue to organise community visits. All these services are done on a voluntary basis under the auspices of KKF. We continue volunteering with the following activities, assisting many families and individuals:

Consulting with solicitors and public agencies at the request of others
Visiting and supporting individuals in prisons and detention centres
Tutoring or coaching young people for life and in different subjects
Helping the community to improve their maths and science etc.

- Dr Christian Puritz is one of our trustees (retired maths teacher) and has continued teaching maths. He teaches his students free of charge to foster good relationships with the local community.

5: Families in the community and their Pastoral care : This is mostly done by Pastor Mahand and his wife, they have continued to help and to help towards contributing to the local community in High Wycombe from 31 March 2022 to 31 March 2023. They provide pastoral care through listening, encouraging, and offering advice for practical life issues. The costs involved are met by Pastor Mahand and his wife and are reimbursed by his employer, the World Harvest (UK). They help a few families every week.

6: The Chaplaincy: Pastor Mahand had been on call since the Covid period to help detainees at the Heathrow detention centre; he used to spend one day per week at the detention centre working as a volunteer chaplain. He used his language skills to help Pakistani detainees. However the momentum at Heathrow detention centre has changed and now he is exploring the possibility to volunteer at the New Bucks University which is a local and less demanding institution as compared to the detention centre. He will continue to pay his expenses through World Harvest Mission (UK) which is a British Charity as well. It will be great to see young lives of students being transformed by the chaplaincy work at the New Bucks University, and many people become fruitful citizens in the UK.

7: Annual BBQ gathering and fellowship: Our annual BBQ brought together over 45-50 people in August 2022. There would have been more people, but a number of apologies were received due to families being away on holiday during the school break. There were many new people this year which was a great encouragement.

We planned to continue the annual BBQ gatherings which were stopped because of Covid. We enjoyed the wonderful opportunities to show love, care, and Christian hospitality. We enjoyed each other’s fellowship, heard some testimonies, and sang worship songs from the professional Pakistani Christian singers. The programme is usually socially, culturally, and spiritually relevant to the background of the guests present. Because of these

annual BBQ events, we have been invited by almost every family to visit them in their homes and deepen our friendships and relationships.

8: The KKF’s Website: The Khushkhabri Fellowship was able to rebuild the website; the Urdu album & Punjabi CD is now available at our website: www.khushkhabrifellowship.uk. Now the music will benefit 1.5 million Pakistanis living in the UK which would be equally applicable to over 200 million Pakistanis living in Pakistan and about 200 million Indians who can speak the same language. Please check out this link for a sample, it is = Zaboor (Psalm) 66: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v XOC4dFqPGHA

9: The TRW’s conference November: The annual conference organising committee worked hard on our consultation (The Right Way-TRW) in order to review our annual conferences especially after the Covid and lockdowns. We had decided in 2022 to hold TRW on 18[th] Nov 2023 and consultation every 4 years, to improve the future conferences.

All the participants who come to the conferences find them very fruitful and improved every year in many different ways. Therefore, we continue to strive to make these conferences more inclusive and add more people with lots of experience to help around the country and beyond. We have added people on the organising committee especially women, and we are adding more leaders on the advisory committees and also on the leadership team from the Midlands, North of England, Scotland, and Wales.

The conferences are mostly funded by the contributions and donations from the participants and donors. However, we don’t charge any admission fee, but we do encourage the participants to contribute £15 towards the lunch and logistics. Shortfalls are met by the KKF funds.

10: Leadership Training for Pakistani Leaders (men and women): Our work is having a greater impact among Pakistanis living in the UK and in their native country in Pakistan. Therefore we are providing training to the local leaders in the UK and Pakistan, so they would lead the work in the Pakistani communities in the future. We are planning to send our trainers to Pakistan and Manila to help and train the Pakistani leaders. We have translated the training material from English to Urdu, the book was published in Pakistan which has become the main training material for Pakistani leaders.

It is fully funded by the KKF charity along with the partnerships of other local charities. The KKF have been promised the grants to sponsor these participants.

11: Major challenges for 2024: KKF has run smoothly during 2022/2023. We have been able to expand our leadership training work to Pakistan. We have been still thinking about how to recruit more volunteers locally and internationally especially for Pakistan, both short-term and long-term people.

Independent Examiners Report on the Accounts of Khushkhabri Fellowship

I report on the accounts of the Khushkhabri Fellowship for the year ended 31st March 2023.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

It is my responsibility to examine the charities accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(4)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent examiner's statement

My examination was conducted in accordance with the Charity Commission's general directions. An examination entails a review of the charity's accounting records and contrasting the presented accounts with those records. It also entails taking into account any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and asking the trustees for explanations on such matters. The methods carried out do not provide all of the evidence that would be necessary in an audit, therefore no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" picture. As a result, the report is only confined to the issues set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

Nothing has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the directors have not met the requirements to ensure that:

Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; or

Nothing has come to my attention to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
