REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees present the Annual Report and financial statements of FITZDAN UK for the year ended 30 September 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (revised 2005) in preparing the Charity/company's Annual Report and Financial Statements.
The trustees' duty and obligation is to review and identify risks across the areas in which the Charity is exposed, and to ensure that appropriate measures are checked and in place, thus providing reasonable assurance against any type of fraud and error. The majority of the risks the Charity is exposed to have been reviewed, and strategies have been established to mitigate them.
Objectives & aims
-
A) The relief of financial hardship
-
B) The relief of sickness and the preservation of health.
-
C) To promote sustainable developmental ways to meet various communities’ needs.
-
D) The relief of financial need and suffering among victims of natural or other kinds of disasters.
-
E) To promote educative and initiative programs/ training that support public empowerment and partner with other organisations that share the same mission.
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The Charity continues to pursue public health and community health & wellbeing programs across its various communities of operation. In accordance with our continuous pursuit of success and impact across various communities, we continue to seek additional funding and donations towards our charitable objectives to promote the health of men, women & children, families, and local, national, and international communities.
Our Charity has established programs in collaboration with other partners that benefit communities and other Stakeholders, to address & identify public health & wellbeing issues, as well as to ensure sustainability for the people of the Communities, both locally and internationally. We equally enjoy the enormous support of numerous brilliant and dedicated volunteers who come on board, adding rich and remarkable values to our network outreach.

In addition, we aim to respond more effectively to the humanitarian disaster and acute hunger engulfing millions of deprived refugees in the north &east of Africa. Through the support of our incredible donors, we can continue our women's group, “yummy mummy group”, which continues to provide support to young struggling women within the community. Our movie night, which entertains migrants living in temporary accommodation, and our give-out outreach food donations program for working families and individuals, have gone a long way in supporting many families. An immunisation outreach program that has had a positive impact in some communities, and a men's health club that has educated many on the importance of checking their health status.
Our Charity is working closely with relevant stakeholders to develop programs addressing youth unemployment, skill acquisition, and talent development.
The success of our enlightenment programs and public health educational outreach is aimed at improving & sustaining existing platforms that support the eradication of the dangers and implications of living with different types of illness, especially amongst the ethnic minority within the African, Caribbean, and Asian communities living in the UK.
In addition to our international programs in education, women's health, infant mortality, disaster relief, and immunisation outreach, we will continue to partner with leading NGOs in relevant collaborative fields.
It is worth noting that the knowledge and skills brought on board by numerous volunteers have been instrumental to the successful completion of our activities locally and internationally. Their professionalism & support on health & wellbeing, exercises and educational nutritional talks on how to live a healthy lifestyle have tremendously raised the bar for more activities and prospects.
However, none of what is achieved year in and year out would be possible without the magnificent support from our wonderful donors, ambassadors, and trustees; we appreciate all your maximum efforts. With your support, we aim at doing more and raising more funds, avenues to support various communities despite the economic climate and challenges.
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
regular financial review to ensure the continuity of charitable activities;
-
ensuring all equipment are in good condition and safe for use;
-
Competence based training for volunteers and trustees;
-
liability insurance;
-
Monitoring of new legislative requirements;
-

Interest of Board of Trustees
No member of the Trustees had, at any time during the period under consideration, any interests in the Charity which require disclosure in this report.
Financial Review
The book values of the assets held at the year-end are, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, as stated in the financial statements. Also, in its opinion, adequate assets are available to fulfil the Charity's obligations. Our principal source of funds comes from the generous donations of people who are compassionate about the Charity's cause. Overall, we had a good financial year. Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £29,600
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have identified the need to hold reserves. Developing a reserves policy will support strategic planning, such as determining how new projects or future activities will be funded. To ensure the sustainability and continuity of future financing activities, the trustees plan to maintain unrestricted funds to cover at least 3 months of unrestricted payments. This policy will be reviewed regularly to ensure the Charity meets its charitable needs.
Investment Policy
The Trustees can invest in such assets as they see fit. The Charity's investment policy is appropriate to the nature of the funds for which it invests. The primary investment aim is to provide high security and liquidity and maximise returns whilst adopting a conservative approach.
Grant Making Policy
As part of our charitable objectives of relieving financial hardship, donations are made as cash gifts to needy people who find themselves in some form of economic difficulty.

Basis of opinion
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction provided by the Charity Commission. The examination includes a review of the books and documents and other accounting records kept by the Charity and comparing these with the accounts presented.
Our examination also includes consideration of any unusual disclosures or items in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees. It is imperative to state here that the procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'. Our report is therefore limited to the statements below:
