## b) Nepal:

## c) Kenya:
Medical education fees Orphanage
## d) Nigeria:
Church outreach work
A mission trip to Pakistan was conducted, visiting the partners working with Trans4m International and several churches and ministries.
In general, expenditure on projects is influenced by events current at the time, e.g., floods or landslides in Nepal, which are unexpected. At the same time, we are continuing to look at projects for water restoration, which is an enormous task.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The policy and operating decisions of the Charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Charity. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by a majority of existing Trustees.
## **Financial review**
The trustees of Trans4m International (T4I) are very grateful for the generous donations of individuals, charitable trusts and organisations to the cause of the charity. During the year income totalled £54,476 (2024: £59,929) and expenditure £46,471 (2024: £64,806) so that net assets increased by £8,006 to £73,690, of which £66,199 was General Funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have adopted a policy of holding unrestricted reserves of £10,000. At year end the General Fund cash reserves amount to £66,199, which is on target.
## **Key risks and uncertainties**
The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with just one employee is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.

## **Plans for future**
Nepal: Continued restoration of water supplies to villages. Community outreach and relief.
Kenya: Grants to orphanage, medical education, community aid and outreach
Pakistan: Outreach to brick kiln workers. Sewing education classes. Computer classes
Nigeria and others: community aid and outreach as needed
All of the above activities will be carried out and overseen by the charity’s trusted local partners in conjunction with considerations and directions from T4I Trustees and CEO Victor Gledhill.
Communications will continue via email, WhatsApp, phone calls to local partners. Overseas visits will be considered subject to prevailing conditions.
This year has seen a further decline in income, although expenditure was also reduced. Future funding in support of the charity's operation is uncertain and the trustees are aware of this, so the charity will continue to operate as long as funding permits it. The charity's overseas partners have been notified of potential restraints on future grants. The current budget for 2025-26 indicates a continued decline in income.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
## **Approval**
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **TRANS4M INTERNATIONAL**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Trans4m International ('the charity') for the year ended 31 July 2025 on pages 6 to 9 following.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
