**conditions.**
**The charity’s medical support—**
**delivered through partnerships with**
**local health providers—ensured access**

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|**At the end of the reporting period, the**
**charity remains in a stable financial**
**position, with income exceeding**
**expectations due to a significant**
**increase in donations.**
**This increase was primarily driven by**
**heightened public awareness and**
**support in response to large-scale**
**displacements and ongoing conflicts in**
**the region, which underscored the**
**urgent need for humanitarian**
**assistance.**
**The rise in donations enabled the**
**charity to expand its reach and scale up**
**the delivery of aid and support to**
**affected communities, particularly**
**displaced individuals in Egypt. Funds**
**were allocated directly to frontline**
**services, ensuring that resources were**
**deployed efficiently to meet the most**
**pressing needs.**
**The charity has maintained sound**
**financial controls and oversight**
**throughout the year, ensuring that all**
**expenditures align with its charitable**
**objectives. The trustees are satisfied**
**that reserves are adequate and that the**
**charity is well-positioned to continue its**
**operations and respond effectively to**
**future humanitarian needs.**
**The financial statements provide a full**
**breakdown of income, expenditure, and**
**reserves, reflecting the charity’s**
**commitment to transparency and**
**accountability.**| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**The charity’s policy is to maintain a**
**level of reserves that ensures it can**
**continue to operate effectively and fulfil**
**its charitable objectives in the event of**
**unexpected reductions in income or**| |||**unforeseen increases in demand for its**
**services. Reserves are held to provide**
**support continuity of essential aid**
**delivery, particularly in times of crisis.**
**The trustees regularly review the**
**reserves level to ensure it remains**
**appropriate for the charity’s size,**
**commitments, and the external**
**environment in which it operates. Given**
**the ongoing instability and**
**displacement crises in the region, the**
**trustees consider it prudent to hold**
**reserves.**
**Reserves are not intended to**
**accumulate without purpose; rather,**
**they are held to ensure the charity can**
**respond quickly to emergencies, sustain**
**essential services during income**
**fluctuations, and protect beneficiaries**
**from service disruption.**
**The current reserves level is in line with**
**this policy and supports the charity’s**
**ongoing commitment to financial**
**prudence and effective humanitarian**
