MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
As we close another year at Goodwill Caravan, I am filled with immense gratitude for the support and empowerment we have received from our partners, donors, supporters and our Board that has made it possible for us to reach the successes and growth we have achieved this past year.
I am proud of an international leadership team that has demonstrated the strength of teamwork, commitment and the true meaning of 'power in numbers' when addressing urgent humanitarian needs and fostering development which has been at the forefront of our efforts and impact.
This year has been marked by several key initiatives that have expanded our reach. Our swift and strategic response to the devastating floods in Derna, Libya, through our project 'Emergency Relief to the People of Libya,' in collaboration with the Lady Fatemah Trust, was to provide essential aid to 300 families.
Our commitment to education continued with significant improvements to a school for Afghan refugee children in Islamabad.
03 Doc ID: fce11e60f67e4407f1b275ffdfd05e43f78b7358
We upgraded the school building ensuring that these children have opportunities to thrive despite their circumstances, as well as running a much-needed legal aid clinic to assist Afghan refugee women and children, many of whom were illiterate, assisting them with their asylum paperwork to minimise their risk of deportation back to the dangerous environment becoming victims of trafficking or worse.
In our fight against human trafficking, we launched an innovative digital advocacy campaign in Pakistan, partnering with a prominent social media influencer to produce an anti-human trafficking video. This project aims to raise critical awareness and foster proactive dialogue around the trafficking issues plaguing the region.
Our Gaza Aid Initiative exemplifies our ability to mobilise quickly and effectively in crises. With the support of our donors, we have sent 14 trucks, each carrying a 20-foot container filled with medical, surgical, food, and other essential supplies to Palestine. The shipment included ventilators, medications, medical equipment, surgical instruments, and consumables to address urgent health needs. Additionally, nonperishable food, nutritional supplements, water purification tablets, clothing, hygiene supplies, and tents were provided to support the affected population comprehensively. Five trucks were delivered to MdM (Médecins du Monde), which runs hospitals in Gaza, ensuring that these medical facilities received essential supplies to treat patients and save lives.
Our commitment to innovation remains strong as we continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of the communities we serve. This year, we have made progress in developing our comprehensive information platform, a crucial tool designed to combat misinformation and prevent human trafficking.
04 Doc ID: fce11e60f67e4407f1b275ffdfd05e43f78b7358
In addition, our legal aid team in Cairo has been conducting monthly information sessions for hundreds of Sudanese and Palestinian refugees and asylum seekers over the past six months.
Our community-based initiatives have also seen tremendous growth. The transformation of the Salam (Peace) Centre in Athens into a volunteer hub welcoming students and youth from all over the world has expanded, enabling us to address a wider array of social issues through active community engagement and giving international students and youth a safe place to stay and network within a volunteering community while they embark on their voluntary placements and personal growth journeys via community service.
I am also thrilled to announce the registration of our new charity subsidiary in Washington, DC, USA, which marks a significant step towards expanding our fundraising capabilities in the USA. Our commitment to innovation remains strong as we continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of the communities we serve. This year, we have made progress in developing our comprehensive information platform, a crucial tool designed to combat misinformation and prevent human trafficking.
On behalf of Goodwill Caravans' Board, our team and all the beneficiaries we serve, we thank all those who have supported us and believed in us since our inception. None of our work would have been possible without the support of the people who believe in our mission and our vision for a world free of trafficking and exploitation. A world that empowers those most in need with the tools, information and support they need for a life with a chance of a new beginning and a renewed hope for their families’ future.

ABOUT US
Goodwill Caravan (GWC) is a nonprofit humanitarian organisation that is leading global efforts to combat human trafficking and protect refugees and displaced populations.
We staunchly advocate for every child's inherent right to a future defined by stability, and free from the fears that endangers their lives and those of their loved ones.
At the heart of our mission lies a steadfast commitment to uplift and support society's most vulnerable individuals: families, orphans, and detained unaccompanied children.
These individuals are in great danger of becoming victims of harmful activities like illegal organ trade, human
trafficking or deadly abductions when they are left stranded in detention centres, camps, or abandoned on the streets.
Our endeavours are infused with a resolute dedication to fostering community cohesion. In the face of an escalating crisis, it is increasingly evident that Goodwill Caravan stands as one of the few comprehensive and enduring sources of support.
In locations like Greece and Egypt, where governments, UN agencies, and international charities find their finite resources overwhelmed by mounting demands, we remain a steadfast pillar of unwavering assistance.

Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees
GWC’s recruitment results either from needing to replace a standing-down trustee or identifying specific skills or experience that the Management Committee (MC) requires or would benefit from. The ad is placed on the charity website, Charityjobs.org.uk, Linkedin and other suitable websites.
Shortlisted applicants are invited for an interview. The interviewing panel systematically comprises at least two interviewers, including the Executive Director. The successful applicants are invited to attend the next MC meeting and will be formally established as trustees.
09 Doc ID: fce11e60f67e4407f1b275ffdfd05e43f78b7358
Policies and procedures for the induction and training of trustees:
Once the MC has approved the interviewing panel’s selection, the recruited applicants receive the Trustees Induction Pack and associated resources with which they familiarise themselves before attending their first GWC MC meeting.
At this stage, the CEO encourages them to read the Charity Trustee Welcome Pack from the Charity Commission website and to join the Charity Commission’s mailing list for training purposes and governance updates.
The newly appointed trustees attend an induction session at GWC’s office when they meet with the CEO and other employees. They are deliberately left to raise any questions they wish to ask from staff outside the CEO’s presence.
Trustees are kept informed of any significant development or legislation affecting their role and actions as trustees, e.g. GDPR, workplace pensions scheme/auto-enrolment, etc. The annual review of the GWC Business Plan, culminating in the yearly October review meeting, offers a constantly effective opportunity for training and re-training in governance and strategy-setting matters.

Dihad Event Participation Overview
In March 2023, we established a stall at the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid and Development (DIHAD) conference, which took place from the 13th to the 15th. This initiative was part of our efforts to increase our regional presence. Participating in this prominent event successfully raised our profile among key stakeholders. We created numerous valuable contacts, which have since proved instrumental in advancing our mission and expanding our outreach.
Building on the success of our previous participation, we established a stall at the DIHAD event again in 2024. This continued presence at such a significant international forum underscores our commitment to participating in the global conversation on humanitarian aid and development. We hope to participate in future DIHAD events to further our goals and forge new partnerships.

AFGHAN REFUGEE CRISIS IN PAKISTAN
Islamabad School Refurbishment Project Overview
Legal Service
We raised funds to improve educational facilities for Afghan refugee children in Islamabad, Pakistan. The school has undergone essential renovations to meet the basic standards for a conducive learning environment. The refurbishment included critical improvements to the school's infrastructure, particularly the roof and bathrooms, which desperately needed attention. These improvements have enhanced the school's physical structure and contributed significantly to the overall well-being and morale of students and staff.
Recognising the complex legal challenges faced by Afghan refugees in Pakistan, the project engaged a lawyer to assess and address the needs of almost 100 Afghan refugee families. This legal support aimed to provide these families with essential guidance and aid in navigating the intricacies of their legal status and rights within Pakistan.
These renovations demonstrate our commitment to refugee education. By providing a better learning environment, we aim to encourage Afghan children to continue their education and build a brighter future.

Urgent Relief for Libya Flood Victims
We launched a project, 'Emergency Relief to the People of Libya,' with Lady Fatemah Trust in response to a catastrophic flooding event in Derna, Libya, in September 2023*. The project provided swift and essential aid to the affected population, focusing on the most vulnerable groups, such as children, older people, and those with disabilities. The operation spanned two months, with the first dedicated to immediate relief efforts, including distributing food, hygiene products, and medical supplies, and the second month focused on sustainability efforts and recovery planning.
The success of this initiative was not just in delivering aid to 300 families, ensuring their safety and meeting urgent needs amidst the disaster. It was also marked by strategic collaborations with local authorities and the Libyan Red Cross, which significantly enhanced the efficiency and reach of the aid distribution. Despite facing logistical challenges such as restricted road access, our local partners demonstrated their resourcefulness by developing innovative solutions to ensure that aid reached those in dire need.
“Flooding death toll soars to 11,300 in Libya’s coastal city of Derna and a further 10,100 people are reported missing in Libya’s Mediterranean city after a storm caused devastating flooding.”*

Gaza is now home to thousands of injured and critically ill people. There has been a sharp increase in diseases such as diarrhoea, and respiratory infections, along with “almost no water, fuel, food, electricity, or medical supplies”.* -UN
In response to the urgent need for medical and humanitarian aid in Gaza, we received substantial support from donors committed to alleviating suffering in crisis zones. This generosity has enabled us to initiate a vital project: dispatching 14 trucks, to date, loaded with medical, surgical, and humanitarian supplies directly to those in need in Gaza. The initiative aimed to provide immediate relief by addressing some of the critical shortages local healthcare facilities face and aid organisations operating in the area.

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our donors and partners, whose contributions are the backbone of this lifesaving initiative.

AN EVENING OF COMPASSION: IFTAR FUNDRAISING DINNER
On March 28 2024, we hosted an Iftar fundraising dinner at the Millennium Hotel in London, drawing nearly 150 attendees from various sectors. The event provided a culturally rich atmosphere that combined an Iftar meal with an engaging lineup of activities. The evening was filled with poetry readings, raffles, live auctions of paintings, and other vibrant performances that captivated the guests. This engaging mix of culture and charity highlighted the spirit of community and giving.
The planned centre in Cairo will focus on offering psychosocial support to the recently arrived children through
innovative therapies, including music and dance. Additionally, the centre will extend its services to pregnant women and new mothers, ensuring they and their children receive comprehensive support during such critical times. This initiative reflects the charity's commitment to addressing the immediate needs of those affected by crisis, fostering resilience and recovery through community-based care.
Numerous charity partners displayed and sold their products and services during the event. A significant portion of these sales was pledged towards our project of establishing a Sallam centre in Cairo. This centre is intended to support children and families who have recently arrived from the recent conflict in Gaza, providing muchneeded relief and assistance.

DIGITAL ADVOCACY AND PARTNERSHIP EFFORTS AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN PAKISTAN
The focus is on identifying, reporting, and trying to eliminate videos that facilitate or encourage trafficking activities, particularly those originating from Pakistan and its neighbouring South Asian countries targeting Europe.
We have embarked on an impactful collaboration with a renowned social media influencer to co-fund a comprehensive anti-human trafficking video project in Pakistan. This strategic partnership, released a 25 minute film in October, featuring a range of prominent human-rights activists and government officials.
The Souter Charitable Trust has funded these initiatives to combat human trafficking and promote human rights. Through these collaborative efforts, we aim to leverage the power of digital media and advocacy to create meaningful change and protect vulnerable populations from exploitation.
In a parallel effort, we are actively collaborating with various social media platforms to tackle the menace of content that promotes human trafficking. This initiative is critical in disrupting the digital channels that traffickers often exploit to perpetrate their activities.

Reserves Policy
Free reserves (general funds less net book value of fixed assets) held on 31 March 2024 were £125,382 (2023:£7,848), representing 3 months of operating costs.
As a guideline, the trustees aim to hold at least three months of reserves £213,731 , allowing the charity time to recover from any temporary income shortfalls.
A number of steps have been taken in the last 12 months, including reducing the headcount and temporarily curtailing some charitable activities to bolster reserves. There is also a renewed focus on fundraising.
Risk Review
The trustees continually monitor and regularly discuss any possible financial risk to the charity. This is discussed in conjunction with operational risks and their potential effect on the charity’s finances. The Executive Director and the trustees were responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with the risk management strategy.
As part of our annual business planning cycle, GWC aims to build a comprehensive risk register that identifies key risks, the probability and impact of the risk and what actions can be taken to mitigate the risk. By way of example, one key risk facing GWC currently is:
-
Long-standing donors ending their support. a. Probability: Medium
-
b. Impact: High
-
c. The severity of the risk: High
d. Mitigation: Diversification of funding streams, strengthening funder relationship management capacity, identifying and engaging with alternative funders, and identifying non-critical services that can be reduced if as needed.

The organisation has developed and evolved its activities to ensure the sustainable delivery of its objectives since launch. It continues to review and monitor these objectives against its strategies as the legal and political fields of refugee rights proceed through different landscapes. The plans for the future are to continue the delivery of the existing and new services as needed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GOODWILL CARAVAN
For the year ended 31 March 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 42 to 58.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Other matters
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Goodwill Caravan
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Goodwill Caravan meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
b. Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
c. Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or
‘revenue’ grants, is recognised
when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
d. Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e. Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
f. Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
-Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of activities undertaken to raise funds.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
g. Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.
h. Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
i. Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £750 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives. There are currently no fixed assets.
j. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
m. Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
n. Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 8. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 6.
2 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up the trustees and members of the charity are not liable for its debts. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
