## **Significant Activities**
Annual Overview of Activities
During the year under review, Ehsan Trust UK continued to deliver essential humanitarian, welfare and religious support to vulnerable communities across India, with a particular focus on West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gujarat and Kashmir, as well as neighbouring regions. The charity’s activities remained firmly rooted in compassion, dignity and long-term impact, addressing both immediate hardship and sustainable development needs.
## Humanitarian Relief and Welfare Support
Ehsan Trust UK provided essential assistance to hundreds of families experiencing poverty and hardship. Monthly food distributions and ration packs ensured access to staple nutrition, while over 300 Iftar packs were distributed during the month of Ramadan to support fasting families.
In addition, clothing, blankets and medicines were distributed in rural and underserved areas, improving access to basic necessities and contributing to primary healthcare support.
For widows, orphans and the most vulnerable households, cash assistance programmes funded through Zakah and Sadaqah enabled beneficiaries to meet their most urgent needs according to personal circumstances, helping to preserve dignity, autonomy and choice.
Water, Sanitation and Community Infrastructure
Access to clean and safe drinking water remained a key priority. During the year, over 25 water hand pumps were installed in water-scarce locations, providing long-term access to potable water for entire communities.
The charity also delivered important sanitation and infrastructure improvements, including the rebuilding of toilet and wudu facilities for small masaajid, significantly enhancing hygiene, accessibility and public health outcomes. In several locations, carpet replacements in masaajid were completed to ensure safe, clean and dignified prayer environments for worshippers.

## Religious and Community Development
In support of the Deen of Islam, Ehsan Trust UK continued to invest in religious and community infrastructure for underserved populations. The charity is currently constructing four masaajid in rural areas, responding to the needs of growing communities that previously lacked suitable places of worship and communal religious spaces.
## Seasonal and Livelihood Programmes
During Eid-ul-Adha, the charity successfully facilitated nearly 1,000 animal Qurbanis, ensuring that sacrificial meat reached impoverished families who otherwise have limited access to nutritious protein. This programme was implemented across multiple regions, including Kashmir, Mewat, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Nepal, enabling support to reach a broad range of vulnerable communities. The initiative both fulfilled a key religious obligation and provided vital food assistance during the festive period.
To promote self-reliance and long-term resilience, sewing machines were distributed to selected households, enabling beneficiaries to develop income-generating skills and reduce dependency on ongoing aid.
## Education Support
Ehsan Trust UK continued to advance educational opportunity by providing scholarships to children and young people who lacked the financial means to pursue schooling, college or higher education. These scholarships enabled students to remain in education, supporting improved life chances and long-term social mobility.
## **Public Benefit**
During the year the charity:
- Carried out Eye Cataract surgeries for the poor and needy
- Provided food packs to the poor and needy
- provided education scholarships
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
