The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the 12 month period ended 31 December 2023.
Mission Statement
The main objective of Kitrinos Healthcare is to provide the relief of sickness and preserve physical as well as mental health, amongst refugees worldwide. We aim to provide high-quality primary healthcare and psychosocial services adopting a holistic and adaptable approach, without discrimination.
Special Circumstances 2022
Towards the end of 2021, due to the change in Greek government policy and increasing red-tape bureaucracy, it became clear that Kitrinos Healthcare was not going to be able to continue the activities of the much-needed clinic in Athens and in Camp Mavrovouni ( Moria 2.0). A separate entity, Kitrinos Hellas, acting as a ‘branch’, was formally registered as a medical provider in the camps in December 2021 and this continued into 2022 but still limited to overnight emergency services which demonstrated lower numbers of patient attendance.
By January 2022, the Kitrinos team partnered with well-established Greek NGO Medicine Du Monde Greece. This meant supporting the much busier day clinic shift, including primary healthcare, paediatrics and gynaecology.
In the spring of 2022, a decision was made to wind down the charity. This was partly due to lack of sustainability by the chair and various board members to continue running the charity.
Political challenges and a genuine decrease in the number of refugees still residing on Lesvos created the need for a shift in the way we delivered our work. In addition, internal politics within the camp meant that we were unable to justify significant ongoing fundraising. There were simply too many medical providers to serve the small and dwindling population of refugees within the camp.

Financial Review
The fiscal period in 2023, as in the previous year, saw a further decrease in charity income.
During the financial period to 31 Dec 2023, the charity had a total income of £214 (compared to £74,179 in 2022). The lower funds raised during this fiscal period may also correspond to the change in which services were offered, due to restrictions in access to the new camps we worked in, and, in particular, dwindling numbers of incoming refugees. In 2022, the UNHCR reported that 4,331 persons arrived by sea (compared to 9,714 in 2021), which indicates a 50% reduction in sea arrivals.
Our decision-making and allocation of funds are done in line with our mission of supporting the health and well-being of the target refugee population.
-
Financial accountability : A professional accountant was instructed to help us develop our financial systems. Our first two years of independently reviewed accounts are available on our website.
-
Legal accountability : We have a constitution document and written policies and procedures in place.
-
Donor Accountability : written updates were disseminated to our subscribers and donors through email and social media channels, such as Facebook and Instagram.
Principle Funding Sources
The breakdown of income is as follows:
Restricted project Medical Operations - Crowdfunding / Appeal - £0
Zakat / Sadaqah - £0
Family Community Centre rental - £0
Donations (crowdfunding platforms / PayPal) and legacies - £214
Gift aid - £0
TOTAL - £214
Restricted Funding 2023
In this financial period there was no restricted funding.

General Expenses
Legal Fees
During 2022, significant legal costs arose in the UK due to an employment tribunal case. The claim arrived when it was meant to be a year of winding down with plans to change the purpose of the charity or closure altogether.
Fundraising paused
The trustees made a decision to actively stop fundraising through crowdfunding platforms by the end of the first quarter of 2022. There was a risk that the funds would not reach their true objectives of serving the desired recipients- that is, in service of the care of refugees. This is reflected in the lowest amounts of funds raised in any given year since the charity was set up.
Governance and Fundraising (UK Office)
In 2023, our UK administrative staffing costs included cover for the following roles and responsibilities:
-
Secretarial 2. Accounting
-
Legal & Governance
As with previous years,our trustees and executive committee did not draw an income from the organisation. The ‘head-office’, continued to be based in a ‘home office’ of the chair of trustees as a goodwill gesture.

Reserves
By the end of 2022 all reserve funds were depleted and the burden of other expenses were borne by the other companies run by D. S.Mahroof-Shaffi.
Loans Due for repayment
As proceedings had commenced to wind down the charity due to inactivity , all operations and fundraising had ceased in early 2022.
The last bank account for the charity was closed in 2023. Due to the lack of funds, the final costs associated with winding down and administrative charges were undertaken through various interest-free loans. To date, £7,363 is owed to Hayati Lifecare while £20,414.68 is due to Dr. S.Mahroof-Shaffi.

Structure, Governance and Governing Document
Kitrinos Healthcare is a UK registered charity registered in the company name of Kitrinos Healthcare Ltd. The governing document is the constitution document dated April 2017.
Governing documents
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
A number of trustees were recruited in 2021 when the board was down to two members only (minimum quorum).
As part of our governance we continue to have the additional following policies: Volunteering Policy
Trustee Recruitment Policy Staff Code of Conduct Outreach Visit Code of Conduct Counter Terrorism and Anti Money Laundering Policy GDPR privacy policy Risk Management Policy Financial Management Policy Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults Policy Reserves Policy
Organisational structure
Once appointed, the board of trustees, under the leadership of the current chair, met quarterly to review operations and processes. In fact, during 2022, as operations were significantly reduced the charity entered an official period of hibernation.
Description of the charity
Trustees
To keep costs manageable, the charity continues to be run from home-based offices as the small administrative team continues to work remotely. The remaining trustees to the board continued to provide their services on a pro bono basis.
Volunteers
In previous years we relied on registered volunteers for the clinical work. Several have now worked on a voluntary basis repeatedly for the charity, some coming as often as four consecutive visits.
Achievements and outcomes
The main purpose of our charity is to prevent sickness and promote health. This was initially set up as a primary health care service. In the past, we have been able to diversify this to incorporate innovations such as Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT) and ‘Sew & Knit Project’ to improve the beneficiary experience significantly.

The electronic medical records were revolutionary as they helped clinicians keep an audit trail for patient care and avoid prescribing medication that had previously caused unwanted reactions. We identified and treated thousands of scabies (a highly contagious skin disease), bringing numbers down to single digits.
As the European Refugee Crisis charities like ours are able to see, treat and continue to provide free medication to the vulnerable population.
All programes ceased in Febuary 2022.

During the European Refugee Crisis in Greece from 2015 until 2022, our charity supported the local healthcare infrastructure in an important way that ensured primary healthcare for the refugees stranded there was served.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
