## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Safety & Security 

2021 saw a considerable reduction in attacks on civilian infrastructure, and no mass movement of civilians was witnessed during the reporting period as a result of COVID19. Attacks continued along the front lines but did not affect our operations. 

It is worth noting that the war has severely impacted the infrastructure, and roads and commutes are becoming more challenging. 

HIHFAD Safety and Security Department provides all HIHFAD Staff with orientation and training on managing their safety in the field and the beneficiary's safety, stressing the importance of safety first through safety and security policy and security plans, mitigation measures and other procedures. 

In the light of the changes in the work environments, HIHFAD had to relocate some of its facilities and operations areas from the Southern Idleb Governorate and Northern Hama countryside. 

HIHFAD always monitors the security developments, staff's movement through the warning system in our facilities and tries to provide services to the IDPs through their movements and keep the staff safe and secure. 

Furthermore, HIHFAD works closely with all external departments, partners, and programmes and civilians and legal authorities to ensure that all involved have a clear picture before implementing projects. 

Our staff are always keen to develop; we will continue our efforts in providing our staff and beneficiaries with the safest environment possible in 2021, despite the circumstances and the new threats and risks.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities 

To all our donors, volunteers, and supporters past and present: 

This report reflects on our activities in 2021, a year that saw the peak of COVID19, which hit communities hard. We had to revise and adapt our operations, given that our teams were at the forefront of the response. Measures were taken to continue with our service delivery and support communities during these difficult times. 

COVID19 impacted our funds and operations with our efforts to fight the virus. Institutional Donors stepped up their donations to combat the virus and support those affected by the loss of income in the absence of social security. Private and Unrestricted funding was impacted as a result, though. 

As we went into the 11th year of the conflict, the pressure keeps growing on humanitarian agencies to provide more. The length and uncertainty of this crisis make it one of the most difficult to respond to, given the challenges and inability to plan. Emergency response and assistance remain a crucial part of our intervention, complemented by our livelihood projects to sustain communities and empower the most vulnerable. 

A decline in unrestricted funds was evident, affecting some of our programs despite the growing needs in Syria. Resilience programs and community empowerment are essential to support refugees and displaced Syrians. 

According to the 2022 - 2023 Syria Humanitarian Response Plan, 14.6 million people require assistance compared to 13 million in 2020, with the $4.44 billion required funds and only $1.19 billion made available. The $3.25 ($2.9 billion in 2020) billion of unmet needs add to pressure on humanitarian assistance and the need to prioritize our response accordingly. 

According to the 2022 Syria Humanitarian Needs Overview, 97% of the population are now below the poverty line, with 80% of the population is assessed to be food insecure. 12 million people are estimated to be food insecure, and 2 million people live in informal settlements and planned camps. 25 attacks on schools and education personnel and 16 attacks on health facilities and medical personnel. Only 65% of hospitals and 56% of public health care centres are fully functional. At least 2.4M children remain out of school in 2021. 

## Vision 

HIHFAD envisages a stable, secure and just Syria with a healthy and thriving socioeconomic system. We envision a dignified Syrian society. 

## Mission 

HIHFAD's goal is to empower every Syrian in need by strengthening resilience, distributing humanitarian aid, reconstructing vital infrastructure and implementing sustainable livelihood programmes directly inside Syria. 

## Values 

HIHFAD aspires to achieve the highest of standards within humanitarian values. At the heart of our work ethic lies an untiring commitment to transparency, accountability and integrity. These are the foundations of our individual and collective actions.

Since 2016, HIHFAD scaled up its supports to people with disabilities through an innovative approach by uniquely delivering comprehensive support, including psychosocial support (PSS), physical therapy (PT), peer support, child reliance, speech therapy, distributing assistive devices, case management and inclusive employment, and referrals to WASH, FSL, health etc. services. 

HIHFAD expanded its case management activities that address the acute vulnerability of people with disabilities through a multipurpose protection assistance approach. Linking up with other existing life-saving interventions, the activity demonstrated high complementarity to serve the urgent needs. Long-term supports people with disabilities and their families in Northwest Syria. 

As an expansion of the inclusive employment programme HIHFAD started an apprenticeship project to promote inclusive employment among other humanitarian agencies through a pilot project. HIHFAD recruited and trained survivors. Apprentices trained in protection-related topics and one primary skill set before conducting on-the-job training in Syria with support from partners. HIHFAD covered the costs of the training and salaries of the apprentices.

HIHFAD ensure that pre-positioned supplies are always kept available in anticipation of future needs. 

HIHFAD technical engineers design home rehabilitation projects and implement them in line with shelter cluster recommendations and coordinate the distribution and replacement of damaged tents to IDPs.

## Education: 

With over 2.5 million children are out of school in Syria with 25 attacks on schools and personnel witnessed in 2021; a dedicated focus is given to support education. 

This support includes rehabilitating damaged schools including classrooms (windows and doors), WASH facilities and ensuring adaptation to receive children with disabilities, in addition to repair school furniture like (students' desks, Cupboard, teachers' tables, and whiteboards). 

Rehabilitation activities improve and increase safe access to schools and ensure children are receiving education in a safe and protected environment, as parents might not send their children to schools due to the inappropriate school condition, equipping schools with furniture such as desks, educational materials, tools and all the resources needed to improve and increase education access and quality. 

Furthermore, we provide school bags and stationery to support schools. Regarding the logistics, we support schools with fuel for heating and running costs support, salaries for teachers, stationery, and cleaning materials. 

HIHFAD also provides remedial classes to children who couldn't attend and/or finalise the last semester properly due to displacement or lack of supported schools in addition to psychosocial support (PSS) provision and interventions to students as well as caregivers.

While our advocacy, media and communications department has the unique ability to give the Syrian people in the hardest-hit areas a voice once again - allowing them to tell their own stories- the team produce high-quality multimedia materials in many languages and provides content that is guided by international humanitarian standards, as well as by the foundation adopted policies to international media agencies, donors, partners and other stakeholders.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## for the year ended 31 December 2021 

The field team supported by program managers review requests for support and capacity to respond without compromising staff and beneficiary's safety or security using "Do no harm" principles. We differentiate between regular programming and emergency response bearing in mind a more sustainable response. 

MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability & Learning) Team play a significant role at every step of the aid cycle from the design of projects to the final assessment and has the views of all stakeholders represented. 

Procurement takes place in Turkey where possible, for better and quicker access to suppliers ensuring quality products following approved Procurement policies, including tender for anything over $ 5,000. 

We teamed up with other aid agencies for unified advocacy messages on Syria. This is done through the Syrian NGO Alliance & NGO Forum, where we are founding member of both. 

We were actively present in many conferences to speak about the suffering and needs of civilians caught in the conflict. 

## Voluntary help and gifts in kind: 

Volunteers form an integral part of our operation, where aid is collected from all over the UK and shipped from Birmingham. Collected aid includes knitted winter clothing and toys, and medical supplies. Our teams inside Syria then distribute assistance following a needs assessment and in coordination with other aid agencies. 

## External factors: 

Funding, available aid and security are our most significant challenge adding to its changes in donor's behaviour. Risks arising from indiscriminate targeting of humanitarian aid providers and the deliberate targeting of health facilities all contribute to challenges we face on the ground. 

Contextual & Political Changes tend to impact our programs, including remote management and regulatory changes. 

## Our partners: 

Our partnership with INGOs (International Non-Governmental Organisations) secure funds to deliver assistance in the field and strengthening each other's capacity. Partners vary from small NGOs to big INGOs and UN Agencies.

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAND IN HAND FOR AID AND DEVELOPMENT 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Hand In Hand for Aid and Development (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 


Page 15 



REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAND IN HAND FOR AID AND DEVELOPMENT 

## Other information 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the 

- financial statements; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 


Page 16 



REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAND IN HAND FOR AID AND DEVELOPMENT 

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector; 

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including compliance with the Charity Act 2011, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; 

-we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

-making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and 

-considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions: 

-assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation: 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and 

-reviewing correspondence with the Charity Commission, and the charity's legal advisors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAND IN HAND FOR AID AND DEVELOPMENT 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

HAND IN HAND FOR AID AND DEVELOPMENT (OPERATING AS HIHFAD) 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

## for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## Basis of preparing the financial statements 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## Income 

Incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

The charity is involved with major humanitarian projects many of which are financed by grants provided by third party agencies. The grants are typically provided under comprehensive agreements clearly setting out how the funds are to be spent and are treated as restricted funds. In these cases there is a clear relationship between money spent on the project by the charity and entitlement to income from the third party agency. Where such arrangements are in place income is normally recognised under the agreement as the money is received. 

On some occasions money is spent on the project by the charity in advance of receipt from the third party agency. This is typically, but not exclusively, the case when the final receipt is received at the completion of the project. In these cases, incurring the agreed expenditure creates the entitlement to the income and income is therefore recognised at that point. Any such amounts which have not been received at the balance sheet date are accrued as income and the associated debtor included within debtors as accrued income. 

Any overspends on the project are recognised at completion of the project. If a material overspend can reasonably be foreseen then this is recognised immediately. 

If project fund income has been received at the balance sheet date for a project which has not yet commenced the income is deferred and shown in creditors until the project commences. 

In all instances any accrued income is recognised only if recoverable. 

## 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. 

## Allocation and apportionment of costs 

Where not specifically attributable to a specific project or activity Support costs have been allocated on the basis of the trustees estimate of relative activity levels as follows:

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued 

Allocation and apportionment of costs 

||2021|2020|
|---|---|---|
|Medical & infrastructure support|75%|55%|
|Humanitarian aid & relief|25%|45%|



## Tangible fixed assets 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Fixtures and fittings|- 20% on cost|
|---|---|
|Motor vehicles|- 100% on cost|
|Computer equipment|- 25% on cost|



The charity's primary purpose is the provision of humanitarian aid. This includes creating, equipping and supporting hospitals in Syria together with supplying associated assets such as ambulances. It is the charity's policy that all such assets will ultimately belong to the communities in which they are located. Additionally, due to the fact that such assets are located in a war zone they are subject to significant risk of deterioration and damage. As a result no assets located within or held for active use within Syria are recognised on the balance sheet, but rather all costs associated with them are included in direct charitable expenditure. 

Other assets held for use by the charity itself such as office equipment are also charged as expenditure in the year of acquisition as most are acquired in connection with restricted project activities. 

## Stocks 

The majority of stock at the period end represents undistributed gifts in kind, with the rest being purchased goods for subsequent distribution to beneficiaries. The value of gifts in kind stock is based on the value given by the donor on their certificates, and if no value has been given, then it is based on a reasonable estimate set by the Trustees, who have taken into consideration the cost of similar items on the open market in order to arrive at their estimate. This applies to all Food, Non-Food-Items and Medical stock. 

## Taxation 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued 

## Fund accounting 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## Gifts in kind 

The charity receives gifts of food kits, hygiene kits, medical supplies, medical equipment, ambulances. clothing, etc. and arranges for these to be distributed to those in need within Syria. The majority of gifts are received directly into Turkey and Syria from partner donors and they are given a value by the donor on their certificates. Other gifts include items received or collected from donors into various storage locations, and they are shipped or transported into the region in Syria where the charity distributes the goods to those in need . Where the donor has not given a value for these goods the Trustees do so on the basis their best estimate of the cost of similar items on the open market. 

The financial statements have reflected such gifts in kind as income with an equivalent amount being reflected in charitable expenditure, as adjusted for the stock of undistributed goods held at the year end.
