REFUGEE CRISIS FOUNDATION

The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 December 2024

Introduction

The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 .

Status

Refugee Crisis Foundation is a registered charity under the charity number 1174240. It has no taxable activities and is therefore not liable to UK taxation. It is, however, unable to reclaim VAT on expenditure incurred.

Objectives

The object for which the charity is established, it is to provide medical relief worldwide.

Organisational structure

The organisation is an independent charity. The Chairperson shall be responsible for the control, management and direction in all matters of the charity upon the advise of the trustees (Advisory board members) during the year.

Risks

The trustees have taken steps to establish the risks to which the charity is exposed and have put systems in place to mitigate risks.

Review of the results

Summary of RCF Programmes in 2024

Dental Clinic

In 2024, RCF continued operating three permanent dental clinics at Ukhiya Specialized Hospital, Camp 13, and Nayapara Camp. A total of 21,600 patients from both the host community and Rohingya refugees received free dental care.

Mobile Dental Camp

RCF conducted eight mobile dental camps each month in camps without access to dental services. Through these camps, approximately 200 patients per month received essential dental treatment.

Bone Conduction Project

Children with hearing loss were identified, tested, and provided with low-cost bone conduction headsets to use in classrooms. These devices, connected to microphones, significantly improved speech discrimination and classroom learning. Parents, teachers, and children reported high satisfaction and positive outcomes from the initiative.

Healthy Smile Programme

To promote lifelong oral hygiene habits, RCF installed handwashing and toothbrushing facilities at two learning centres in Camps 4 and 13. Children and teachers received training on toothbrushing, handwashing, and healthy eating. Daily toothbrushing has become a part of the school routine. Additionally, RCF dentists conducted oral health screenings and applied silver diamine fluoride to treat tooth decay.

Welfare Aid

During Ramadan and Eid, RCF distributed food packages to vulnerable families from both the host and refugee communities in Bangladesh, in partnership with Susuaville. Additionally, food parcels were distributed in Gaza in collaboration with the implementing partner Global Relief Trust.

RCF also supports children enrolled in learning centres in Bangladesh, providing them with education, daily snacks, Eid gifts, dental and medical check-ups. These initiatives ensure that children receive holistic care supporting their health, wellbeing, and learning.

The statement of trustees responsibilities for the year ended 31 December 2024

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

Charity Law requires the Board to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The trustees are also responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report was approved by the board of trustees on 31 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Kiran Altaf (Chair of board) Chairman

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity

Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended to 31 December 2024

We report on the financial statements of the Charity on pages 5 to 9 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective January 2015 , adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective June 2008, revised in January 2015, under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 3 , the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. It is my responsibility to state , on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken

We conducted our examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a detailed review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, we express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity.

We planned and performed our examination so as to satisfy ourselves that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report we obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, report and opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, in connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:

1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act or of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2005 have not been met or

2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 43 of the 1993 Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commissioners under subsection (7)(b) of that section which are applicable.
