SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES THROUGH THE YEAR
In the period covered by this report, with the help of its donors, volunteers and team members, IHR has been able to extend its support and relief aid thus preserving and improving the lives of thousands beneficiaries in great need.
Over the past year these efforts have translated into the following sectors of work:
WATER AID
Water is the source of life yet millions of marginalised people have no access to suitable drinking water. As part of its mission to provide safe consumable water to the world’s poorest communities, IHR has successfully supplied clean drinking water by mean of building new wells in deprived villages of Somalia, refurbishing unused water facilities in Uganda hand pumps in rural India , regular delivery of multiple water tankers for the displaced in Burma, Gaza and Yemen.
Thirst relief is an area of great importance, having access to clean water not only saves lives, but is imperative to continued good health, but is essential for agriculture and economic development. IHR will continue to bring hope to communities through its much-needed thirst relief program.
FOOD AID
Over the period covered in this report millions of people across the globe living below the poverty line, unfortunately the multitudes of families, some destitute, with no means of income have no access to food leaving millions impoverished. Children are often forced to scavenge for anything edible from heaps of waste.
Committed to help alleviate hunger, IHR has facilitated the distribution of food to impoverished communities, sending containers of life saving food items such as baby milk powders, lentils, dry pasta, oils and more. Alongside this IHR continued its yearly Ramadhan Feed program, providing hot cooked meals twice a day to those who otherwise would be forced to go without a meal for many days.
IHR also extended its food parcels distribution this year, including regions of Somalia, Lebanon, Uganda and Yemen; a country that has seen unprecedented food insecurity. IHR’s family food parcels were designed to last a month and consisted of staple food including flour, oil, lentils, spices, sugar and other varied items depending on the geographical location.
5
QURBANI
One of the busiest periods of the year for IHR is the period of Qurbani. Qurbani or uḍḥiyah as referred to in Islamic law, is the ritual animal sacrifice of a livestock animal during Eid al-Adha. For many communities, the Qurbani period is the only time of year they will have the pleasure and benefit of receiving met to cook and share with their families.
IHR have been at the forefront in poverty- stricken regions ensuring economic development by purchasing masses of livestock from local farmers, distributing Qurbani meat to communities in the most effective and hygienic manner.
ELDERLY AND DISABLED CARE
Good health is the key to a flourishing life. Many individuals living with long term conditions have little or no access to even the most basic life essentials, such as warm clothing, shelter, suitable nourishment or health care provisions. Perhaps the most vulnerable amongst this group are the elderly and disabled. With increased life expectancy more and more elderly citizens in underdeveloped regions are facing life alone. Through its elderly and disabled care program IHR has had the privilege of supporting this vulnerable group by providing monthly food parcels, walking aids and wheelchairs hence having a huge positive impact on good mental and physical health.
ORPHAN CARE
Orphans living in poverty face many hardships on a daily basis. Neglected by society, orphan children are very often denied access to education being forced to work or fend for themselves consequently exposing them to sexual predators and abuse.
IHR are committed to working hard to ensure children have the provisions and care they need to grow physically, emotionally, and mentally. With the support of our valued donors, IHR’s orphan care program has served as a lifeline for vulnerable orphans and widows providing monthly food packs, clothing and access to education where possible.
WINTER RELIEF
Hundreds of our beneficiaries live in insufficient dwellings, slums, makeshift shelters and some with no place to reside at all. With little or no means to protect themselves from the harsh winter weather families are forced to endure icy winds, rains and snows. To alleviate this desperate situation, IHR’s teams have distributed hundreds of life saving winter items ranging from family food packs, winter clothing, winter blankets and heaters in the regions of rural Pakistan, Yemen.

RESERVE POLICY
1. Reserves and future funds – why reserves are needed
The Trustees have decided to continue helping beneficiaries fleeing conflict, which is where the trustees consider the charity can have most impact and help most people in need. IHR wish to continue to oversee deliveries of goods. IHR aims to ensure the flexibility to support other charitable humanitarian relief projects, within their objects, should such matters arise unexpectedly.
IHR can best advance their objects in this manner.
IHR may require some investment into its activities, such as to develop local offices and to hire staff in the UK. This will enable the charity to operate more effectively and better serve its beneficiaries.
In light of this, at the present time, the Trustees consider that it is appropriate to continue to build up the charity’s reserves so that they are prepared to: (i) carry out major deliveries into neighbouring countries, particularly should needs change or worsen in what is a temperamental and difficult situation, or should other humanitarian causes which they wish to support arise; (ii) meet any initial upfront costs to invest into the charity’s operations.
2. Required reserves
The Trustees would like to continue to build up the charity’s reserves until the charity is holding £50,000 of unrestricted reserves.
Banking and investment arrangements
The charity does not currently intend to invest its reserves in long-term investments, as the IHR will retain short- to medium-term access to them.
3. What steps the charity is going to take to establish this agreed level or range
The Trustees are overseeing an active fundraising programme in order to build reserves to that level. The Trustees have adopted a separate Fundraising Policy, with which such fundraising shall comply.
4. Arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the policy The Trustees shall next review this policy annually

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Formed as a charitable incorporated organization, IHR operates per the principles of its trust deed, where in management of the charity is the incumbent duty of the appointed trustees. There are no restrictions in the governing document on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers, other than those imposed by charity law.
The voting members of the charity are solely its acting trustees, who are appointed on the premise of adding value through guidance, skills and networks. Authority of commissioning any new trustees is reserved by the board and done so in accordance to the organization’s needs.
Newly instated trustees must undergo formal induction and training relevant to the role. All members are invited to attend conferences during which vital information is received, conveyed and key decisions concerning IHR’s finances are decreed.
8
IHR also recruits a range of credible staff dedicated to the growth of the charity upon a voluntary basis. Staff are encouraged and supported to assist in the developmental growth of the charity.
Governance
All trustees take an active role in overseeing the charity to ensure they critically and objectively review proposals and decisions. The trustees are taking steps to ensure the charity is well governed and run effectively, with the appropriate knowledge and experience. The trustees are supported by external advisors as required.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
IHR will consider the recruitment of additional trustees as appropriate to manage the charity. The process involves determining the optimum skills, knowledge and experience mix for the current operational climate and needs, identifying potential members, promoting and explaining the activities of the Board to potential members. Quality, characteristics and qualification are decided up on when selecting members of the Board of Trustees.
Induction and training of trustees
The founding trustees have received the necessary training and advice. Any new trustees will receive a training pack and a one to one session with a governance expert on appointment
Relationships between the charity and related parties:
The induction of new Trustees would include an explanation of the function of the Board of Trustees and appointing a mentor for the new member to the Board of Trustees. An overview of the organization and its activities is provided. On-going appropriate training is recommended.
The contribution of volunteers:
IHR has been dependent on volunteer support in order to establish IHR and set the foundations for its future success. We have volunteers who are involved in our activities who willingly give their time freely. The Trustees would like to thank all those who have volunteered their time to IHR.
IHR has a social media policy that describes the rules governing use of social media IHR and sets out how staff, volunteers must behave when using the charity’s social media accounts. It also explains the rules about using personal social media accounts at work and describes what staff may say about the charity on their personal accounts.
9
Risk Management:
IHR is embedding risk management into day-to-day behaviour and culture across the global operation. Trustees are considering the adequacy of mitigating actions in order to ensure that potential risks are managed before places emphasis occur or reduce their impact (depending upon the risk appetite, which currently is low). Risk management is an integral part of day to day and strategic decision making given that IHR works across the globe where there are humanitarian needs with inherent high-risk factors to content with.
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that there is an appropriate process and culture in place for risk management. IHR overall approach to risk management is to recognise and accept an appropriate level of risk working in the humanitarian response environment, which can often be volatile. A level of tolerance to risk is necessary in ensuring that risk mitigation strategies do no impede our work to an extent that we are unable to meet our charitable activities in supporting beneficiaries. Any risks identified are graded by potential adverse effect and strategies are developed to overcome any barriers. We endeavour to ensure the safety of the charity and beneficiaries.
Covid Pandemic
The effects of the covid 19 pandemic thus far on IHR have been relatively modest. In terms of our income we are blessed with a core donor base of grass root supporters that give endlessly to our campaigns, our donors are primarily made up of the local community and as a result we have not experienced the challenges faced by our peer charities.
IHR has continued to adhere to UK government advice and directives, terms of travel and keeping safe whilst delivering aid. Global operations have been affected during the lockdowns, while some of programmes have adapted to support vulnerable, and often marginalised communities through the crisis.
The single largest impact was loss of our income stream from mosque collections during the holy month of Ramadan, however our donors responded positively to our e-commerce collection methods.
In terms of our expenditure costs these tightly controlled we don't utilise large expensive campaigns to promote our generate funds or promote or work; instead, we focus on showing our impact via various freely available social media platforms
Our reserves have significantly reduced over the past few years, this is because we are delivering more than ever, utilising our volunteer base we believe we have sufficient funds to meet our beneficiaries needs including those that are suffering due to this pandemic.

Financial Review:
Policies on reserves:
The trustees have resolved to establish reserves to provide for future activities, and to provide funding for the expected expenditure for six months ahead. The policy on reserves is that the existing assets are retained to produce income which is fully utilized to support existing activities. There is no intention in the long term to either increase or reduce the capital significantly. This policy is justified in that it is necessary to preserve income at the present levels in order to maintain the activities of the charity.
The principal funding sources was voluntarily donations primarily. The board of trustees are satisfied that the charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Notes to the accounts
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation of the accounts
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Section 1A of FRS102 and Companies Act 2006. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
The financial statements have been prepared on an ongoing basis as discussed in the trustees’ report. There is no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
b) Key areas of material uncertainty
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors which are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ to these estimates.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period is revised if the revision only affects that period or in period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting the assets and liabilities at the balance sheet are likely to result in material adjustment to the carrying amounts in the next financial year.
c) Going Concern
The charity can meet its obligations as they come due as such it’s a going concern. Financial sustainability is much more than income and costs, the charity has assessed its financial communication, understanding and organisational impact.
d) Funds Accounting
Funds held by the charity are:
Restricted funds – these are funds which are subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors or when funds are raised for a particular restricted purpose.
Unrestricted funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Zakat funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the Islamic religious conditions and parameters set in the Qur’an. The charity’s policy defines the criteria for the fundraising, allocation and distribution of Zakat. The charity is required to record its justification as to how projects matches the criteria of Zakat.
e) Income
-
Income, including donations and gifts, gifts in kind and grants are recognised where there is entitlement, there is probability of receipt and the amount is measurable.
-
Tax recovered from income received under gift aid is recognised when the related income is recognised and allocated to unrestricted funds in line with the communication with donors to allocate the funds towards the core costs of the charity and its humanitarian programmes to save and transform more lives.
-
Gift in kind for use by the charity and donated services are included in the accounts at their approximate market value at the receipt. No amount has been included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
-
Gifts in kind for distribution are included in the accounts at the fair value to the charity ((in the case of clothes, food and medicines, at the lowest value of the generic equivalent) when the good are received and under the control of the charity. Amounts are recognised in inventory until distributed at which point the relevant cost is released to the statement of financial activities.
-

16
f) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred, irrecoverable VAT is included within the expense item to which it relates.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities is reported as a thematic analysis of the work undertaken by the charity, against our thematic themes of humanitarian response.

The costs include salaries and associated employment costs including pensions and termination payments.
-
Expenditure on raising funds comprises salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of UK based staff who promote fundraising from all sources including major donors, corporates and individuals. The expenditure on third party agencies that promote fundraising on social media and other platforms is included.
-
Indirect support costs include support costs that are essential for the charity to delivery its projects of humanitarian response. Not to incur these costs would severely impair the quality of work and sustainability of the charity.
-
Indirect support costs have been allocated to cost categories on a basis consistent with the level of activity.
g) Foreign currencies
The functional currency of the charity is considered to be pounds sterling that is the currency of the primary economic environment it operates in the UK.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the time of the transaction.

Foreign currency gains and losses are recognised through the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they are incurred. All exchange differences are recognised through the statement of financial activities.
h) Operating leases
Rental payments under operating leases are charged as expenditure incurred evenly over the term of the lease. The benefit of any reverse premium received is also spread evenly over the term of the lease.
i) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life,
as
Leasehold properties Straight line over the life of the lease Freehold properties 5% straight line Other assets 25% straight line
Assets that are subject to amortisation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate.
j) Taxation
The charity meets the criteria and tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore meets the definition of a charitable company for UK taxation purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within the categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
