C. Organisational structure

The Trustees are satisfied that all charitable activities during the year are for the benefit of the public and that the benefits of each and every charitable activity are clearly identifiable.
Objectives and Activities
We set up Legacy of War Foundation because we wanted to do things differently. Our localised, sustainable, beneficiary-led projects in Ukraine, Rwanda and Lebanon return power, funding and assets to the hands of the communities we work with.
We seek to challenge the traditional neo-colonial concepts in the aid sector through collaborative, localised and sustainable programming. We know the people best equipped to create change, and our greatest asset as an organisation, are our beneficiaries themselves - or, as we call them, partners. So we build projects from the group up with direct input from our partners, and aim for all our programs to be self-sustaining within five years.
As an organisation we stand for equal rights, equal opportunities and aim to set an example within the sector. We avoid the need for expensive offices or inflated wages, and ensure that 90% of the funds we raise go to our projects.

Review of activities for the year from 1st January 2022 - 31st December 2022
Land for Women: Rwanda, 2018 - present
Since 2018 the Land for Women program has empowered female genocide survivors in Rwanda through innovative land transfer and sustainable cooperative farming. This program has lifted entire families out of poverty, enabling women to reclaim their land and economic power. Through this initiative, we've witnessed tangible improvements in the lives of 25 women at Imboni Gikomero Cooperative. The original farm Icyizere Ruhanga Cooperative has enabled 35 women to set up their own cooperative savings and loan scheme which has facilitated health insurance and access to healthcare. Now they can afford to send their children to school.
The third farm group we are working with is the Abunzumumwe women in Gasabo District. Legacy of War Foundation provided the required loan of £1,250 for them to prove their commitment, this will remain in their cooperative bank account as seed capital for their activities. This farm will eventually allow for a cluster of farms to work together in the Gasabo district.
The next LFW cooperative farm will be based in Rwamagana District, where the need for projects like LFW is high.
Key Achievements
Land Ownership: Successfully allocated and purchased 1.4 hectares of land in Gikomero, Gasabo district for Imboni Gikomero Cooperative.
Poverty Reduction: Achieved a 390% increase in livelihood income per woman through smart farming practices.
Agricultural Productivity : Despite climate challenges, cooperatives achieved a 70% increase in productivity, adapting to climate change effects. Construction of the borehole has been key in enabling the co-ops to farm in the usually unproductive dry season. Food Security : Initiated programs to bolster food security, with notable improvements in children's nutritional status.
Gender Equality and Empowerment : Enabled women to become landowners, facilitated VSLAs (Village Savings and Loan Associations), and supported leadership roles within the community.
Environmental Conservation : Implemented climate-smart farming practices, achieved notable success in adapting to environmental challenges.
Future Focus (2023)
Looking ahead, our focus is on identifying partners and land for further new Land for Women farms, enhancing training programs on food security and nutrition, and further developing the Land for Women program in collaboration with our cooperatives. By 2025, we will have established 12 Land For Women and Land for All cooperatives across Rwanda, Burundi,

Lebanon, Iraq, Libya and DR Congo, reaching 360 direct beneficiaries and over 2100 people in the wider community.
Acknowledgments
We extend our gratitude to Evoca Foundation (formally Sage Foundation), Souter Charity Trust, Jephcott Charitable Trust, the Rwandan Governance Board, Gasabo District officials, MIGEPROF, Rwandan Land Management and Use Authority, the local community, and our individual donors. Above all, we're indebted to the women of Icyizere Ruhanga, Abunzumumwe and Imboni Gikomero Cooperatives, whose resilience and collaboration have been instrumental in Land for Women's success.
Ukraine Crisis Response: Ukraine, 2022 - present
When the full-scale invasion began we immediately reached out to organisations in our network who were already working on the ground. In the first phase of the project (Feb/Mar 22), our focus was on sharing resources and signposting to these Ukrainian NGOs to aid their fundraising. We additionally dedicated 3 months of sales from our No More War t-shirts to Ukrainian organisations, and supported corporate partners to identify local organisations to direct their support to.
By mid-March, partners supporting people with disabilities had highlighted issues sourcing replacement wheelchairs for those forced to abandon them while evacuating. Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, as well as a fundraising concert in collaboration with SJM Concerts, John Thomson and Justin Moorehouse, we were able to source and distribute specialist mobility aids and accessories for children and adults with disabilities, ensuring their mobility and independence. The need for accessible evacuation transport also became apparent, and we subsequently purchased a fully-equipped secondhand ambulance in Germany for our partners, the disability-led organisation Fight For Right.
In June, our CEO and Operations Coordinator visited Ukraine to meet our existing partners, and conduct in-person visits. This enabled us to identify 2 further organisations to support for the second half of the year as part of our annual partnership with GISH and Random Acts, ‘Change a Life’. This campaign raised over $200000 from individual donors to fund humanitarian aid and residential shelters for women, children and LGBTQ+ people run by implementing partners Marsh Zhinok and Insight; to purchase additional ambulances; and to fund specialised aid for disability-led organisations. We also continued to distribute aid including medical equipment and supplies.
By the end of 2022, our Crisis Response had supplied £162087 in direct grants to Ukrainian organisations and a further 7 tons of aid worth in excess of £143460, with multi-year grant funding planned in some instances to enable our partners to operate securely.
We funded 136 6-week residential shelter placements in western Ukraine for displaced women, children and LGBTQ+ people; supported 3 months’ of residential support for 10 families and a further 28 young people from Luhansk displaced to Transcarpathia; and

provided wheelchairs, mobility devices and vital specialist accessories to more than 450 children and adults with disabilities. Our ambulances conducted over 350 evacuations for people with complex medical needs from frontline areas, while our generators provided emergency power to hospitals treating over 40000 children per year and supplied electricity to humanitarian aid distribution hubs to ensure their operation throughout the winter.
Based on our work and experience in Lebanon we were also able to provide ad-hoc support directly to civilians, including sourcing and importing a small number of custom-built high dependency wheelchairs for children, providing one-off grants for medical treatment, arranging temporary heating solutions for people spending the winter in damaged homes, and offering visa casework for families failed by the complex bureaucracy of the UK’s Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Our implementing partners in Ukraine have included: Insight, Marsh Zhinok, PO Keysers, GAR, Vostok SOS, Dzherelo Centre, Everybody Can UA, Grateful.UA, Palyanytsya and NGO Molotok.
We are immensely grateful for the support of GISH, Random Acts, Olia Hercules, Cook for Ukraine, Rankin and Hunger Magazine, SJM Concerts, John Thomson, Justin Moorehouse, Meds Peterson, The Hacienda, Alan Erasmus, Citizens of Humanity, Paul Stolper and the late Jamie Reid, AGOLDE, Public Offerings, Guerilla Movement, Roome Partners and the Ashley Family Foundation - and to every single one of well over the 5000 individual donors and GISH-ers who supported our Crisis Response.
Refugee Support: Lebanon, 2016 - present
Since 2016 our CEO Giles Duley has been managing a fund to support vulnerable Syrian families living as refugees in Lebanon. On the founding of LoWF, the managing of this project was taken over by the charity. In 2022, we continued to support three families in Lebanon, ensuring education, shelter and healthcare for those that otherwise would not have been supported. Ongoing inflation in Lebanon has continued to increase the cost of this project, but we remain committed to ensuring the young people involved in the project are able to complete their education.
Community Garden: UK, 2021 - present
In 2021 we secured funding for a small-scale UK-based project which would enable us to trial tools and techniques to support people with disabilities into market gardening as part of our future Land for All roll-out, provide integration and economic opportunities for people displaced by conflict overseas, and build connections between schools and community members and our international projects. Although our initial council site identified in early 2022 did not come to fruition, we have been temporarily operating activities out of an existing community site. These have included:
- Over 1000 hours of completely free supervised gardening activities including toddler sessions and the creation of a diverse herbal “tea garden” featuring plants from

-
across the world, targeted at providing social opportunities for recently settled refugees in the area.
-
345 children and young people at our 2022 summer holiday sessions, which included pasta-making from scratch, graffiti workshops and a shared meal at every event to support families affected by the cost of living crisis. Participation was completely free and children from families with lived experience of conflict-related migration were prioritised.
-
A community event with over 60 attendees in October promoted the project and our wider work, with free children’s activities and a meal prepared by our CEO and team based on recipes from our Rwandan LFW cooperatives.
We also worked in conjunction with other local organisations to ensure people were signposted to other support where appropriate, and distributed surplus food to families.
Education & Advocacy: International, 2017 - present
As part of the Education and Advocacy strand of our work, our CEO Giles Duley regularly speaks and shows work at schools, universities, and in political and corporate settings. Legacy of War Foundation also supports and highlights artists affected by conflict.
In 2022, this included:
-
In February, Duley and Legacy of War Foundation showed a collaborative No More War exhibition in Paris which brought together artists from across the word. As part of the event Syrian violinist and LoWF Patron Alaa Arsheed performed live, and at the preview Duley hosted a supper for 30 attendees.
-
In March, we collaborated with People's Film Club, the Ukrainian Institute in London, Cambridge Ukrainian Studies, and London Migration Film Festival for an event featuring our live No More War stencilling to raise funds for Ukrainian organisations.
-
In April, as part of International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, Duley addressed the United Nations. Legacy of War Foundation also provided photography and video content for an accompanying UNMAS Safe Ground, Safe Homes exhibition which was on display for 2 months in the UN’s foyer and online.
-
We also supported a student-led live art No More War event and video project at the University of the West of England.
-
In July, our No More War exhibition was shown in Hastings as part of Refugee Week.
-
- In August, we partnered with Farley’s House & Gallery for a three month exhibition of Duley’s work alongside that of the war photographer Lee Miller. Trümmerfotographie – The Wreckage Of War opened with a conversation between Duley and the Imperial War Museum’s Senior Photographic Curator Hilary Roberts, and raised funds for LoWF.
-
In December, Duley was announced as the first United Nations Global Advocate for persons with disabilities in conflict and peacebuilding situations and as his first official activity, visited the UN Ukraine Resident Coordinator to advocate for Ukrainians with disabilities.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
· the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
· the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless Offsetting required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income Grants and donations recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that donations and gifts gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Contractual income and This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or performance related services or met the performance related conditions. grants Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.
Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value facilities of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is Volunteer help described in the trustees’ annual report.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and support costs its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
| Grants with performance conditions |
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. |

| Redundancy cost Deferred income |
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. |
| Creditors | The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts |
| Provisions for liabilities | A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date |
| Basic financial instruments |
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. |
