Our Aims and objectives
Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to:
Our aim is to provide support among victims of natural or other kinds of disaster in the form of money or other means deemed suitable for persons, bodies, organisations and/or countries affected including provision of medical aid. We remain focussed on providing for local, national and international needs that are in line with our aim above.
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Activity in the last 12 months
During the pandemic, we have worked very closely with another registered charity called Sewa Day UK to distribute food to NHS workers, including GP surgeries, in and around Nottingham. We have been actively working with this organisation to also give food to children who could not get school meals whilst the schools were shut. During Easter we also gave activity packs to children, along with Easter eggs. Our biggest event was the Shoebox appeal, during Christmas. We served several organisations to bring a Christmas cheer by distributing Shoeboxes filled with treats so the vulnerable and needy had a present to open on Christmas Day. We distributed over 1000 boxes to the following organisations:
Broxtowe Youth Homelessness Roma community POW Chayah group Broxtowe Women's Project Base 51 Framework Carers federation Notts YMCA

Fundraising
We raised funds by setting up Just Giving page. We received substantial donations from the community and sponsorship from several organisations.
Future Plans
We are still very interested in working for a local cause. Homelessness in Nottingham is an increasingly problematic issue. We would very much like to get involved with local organisations like Framework, YMCA, Emmanuel House and The Friary to see how we can assist in a getting these people off the streets into a more sustainable shelter. We would consider raising funds to give regular food to the homeless or partner with another local charity to do the same. We are running a yearly Shoebox Appeal.

Basis of preparation

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specific service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
Expenditure on other items include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with statutory requirements.
