Achievements
The legal position regarding charitable fundraising within the UAE was clarified in the previous reporting year. During this period, the Dubai College Foundation spent the year ensuring that our activities were fully compliant with the regulations of International Humanitarian City within Dubai where we have established an office for the purposes of our charitable work. Compliance was achieved in March 2021 at which point fundraising activities commenced.
There were, however, no charitable activities to report in the 2019/20 period.
Financial Review
During this period, no fundraising was possible, and no expenses were incurred so there are no accounts to audit.
