The trustees are particularly vigilant about the risks associated with delivering humanitarian aid in conflict zones and high-risk regions. Strict due diligence procedures are in place to oversee volunteers, fundraisers, partners, and the distribution of aid. Trustees receive regular risk updates and, when necessary, GIFTINGHUMANITY consults external experts for advice and guidance.

Trustee Update

One of our trustees, Mr. Vali Adam Mahmed, has expressed his intention to step down from the Board after the end of this financial year due to his age and his ability to fully undertake the scope of work and responsibilities required.

He will be replaced by a new trustee who is capable of fulfilling the role and its commitments.

Bank Account Update

During this financial year, our bank account was temporarily frozen due to non-compliance with certain Charity Commission requirements, and the Charity Commission opened an inquiry as part of this process.

We have now fully addressed all matters raised, submitted the required documentation, and are compliant with all regulatory requirements. We have taken this as a learning opportunity,

strengthened our internal processes, and implemented improvements to ensure this does not happen again.

We are now in the process of reopening our bank account and look forward to resuming normal operations and continuing our work for the benefit of the community.

The Activities and Achievements

– Food and Ration Distribution India

GiftingHumanity delivered food and essential rations to vulnerable families in India during the reporting period. The initiative was aimed at supporting low-income households, widows, elderly individuals, and families facing severe financial hardship. Rising living costs and limited income opportunities have left many struggling to meet their basic daily needs.

Through this project, carefully prepared food parcels containing staple items such as rice, flour, lentils, cooking oil, sugar, and other essential groceries were distributed to beneficiaries in underserved communities. The distributions were organised in a structured and transparent manner to ensure that support reached those most in need.

This intervention provided immediate relief to families experiencing food insecurity and reduced the burden of basic household expenses. For many recipients, the assistance ensured access to sufficient nutrition and stability during a difficult period.

GiftingHumanity remains committed to maintaining strong governance, compliance, and transparency standards while continuing to deliver meaningful humanitarian support to communities in need.

The support provided immediate relief to families experiencing food insecurity and helped reduce the pressure of rising living costs. For many households, the assistance contributed to improved food stability and wellbeing during a challenging period.

During the reporting period, GiftingHumanity implemented water support initiatives in Malaysia aimed at improving access to clean and safe water for vulnerable communities.

Access to clean water is essential for health, sanitation, and overall wellbeing. In certain underserved areas, families face challenges in securing reliable and safe water supplies. Through this programme, support was provided to help ensure consistent access to clean water for households in need.

The initiative contributed to improved hygiene standards, reduced health risks associated with unsafe water, and strengthened community resilience. By addressing this fundamental need, the project supported families in maintaining safer living conditions and enhanced overall quality of life.

GIFTINGHUMANITY

Financial Review

Principal Funding Sources

The charity’s main funding is generated through public donations. We follow a strict policy that guarantees 100% of each donation goes directly to the donor’s specified cause. As a registered charity, we can also claim Gift Aid on eligible donations from UK taxpayers. The extra funds from Gift Aid help cover our administrative costs, enabling us to maximize the impact of every contribution.

Reserves Policy

The Financial Statements were prepared for the 12 months ended 31 April 2025. By the end of the financial year, the charity had fully utilised all available funds on planned projects and the necessary running costs of the organisation. As a result, a minimal balance of £157 remained at year end. We remain committed to ensuring that funds are used responsibly and directly in support of our charitable objectives.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law of United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the trustee and signed on behalf of the board.
