Trustees Report
For the year ended 30 April 2025
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in February 2005 and the Charities Act 2011.
Arian Teleheal is a UK registered international charity which enables medics working in low resource settings to consult with expert clinicians from across the world by using everyday technology such as smartphones, instant messaging, and video chat. We provide advice on major specialties, in particular in emergency care. We have expanded our work to provide culturally sensitive mental health support to clinicians and professionals as well as to displaced and traumatised communities in the UK and in low resource settings.
Our work also includes advocating for the policies, strategies and narratives that promote the physical and emotional wellbeing of refugees and other vulnerable migrants, publicly and amongst policy makers and donor organisations.
How Do We Work?
-
Emergency care - medics in low resource settings who want advice from specialists contact our case management team 24/7 by instant messaging or video chat. Their patient’s case is then allocated to an appropriate specialist (or specialists), who will review it and then discuss it or reply by instant messaging or video chat. The local medic then considers the advice to help them treat their patient. We provide advice for emergency cases, mostly within hours, helping save countless lives each year. We advise in both emergency situations and on complex cases, where specialist advice could help a clinician in low resource setting. Our doctors use everyday technology such as smartphones, rather than expensive telemedicine equipment, because of the areas in which the local doctors are based, and to maximise the availability of our volunteer doctors.
-
Mental health support and training to staff – we support the mental well-being of clinicians and professionals who are exposed to traumatic and distressing experiences, such as those working with displaced people, through our virtual seminars led by our mental health specialists and lived experience experts.
-
Mental health support to displaced communities – We provide mental health support to displaced people in the UK in partnership with local authorities, the NHS and community organisations. Our dedicated lived experience of migration and mental health sessions are delivered to staff and communities across the UK.
-
Advocacy for vulnerable and displaced people – we advocate for the policies, strategies and narratives that promote the physical and emotional well-being of people caught in conflict and in low-resource settings, as well as of displaced people. We do this publicly through media, social media, public conferences and events.
-
National and international collaboration – we work closely with national and international healthcare, academic and humanitarian organisations to enhance our objectives, including with the World Health Organisation, the UN Refugee Agency and other UN organisations, Cambridge and Oxford universities.

What Impact Have We Made?
Emergency care – our volunteer specialists have contributed to saving the lives of many men, women and children in low-resource settings and continue to do so on a regular basis. Clinicians from several Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units in Afghanistan are connected to our specialist volunteer network, independently, without any involvement or influence of the current government. They receive emergency care and mental health support from our expert volunteers. A previous survey concluded that “dozens of lives were saved” and that local medics found our work “hugely supportive and educational”.
Mental health support and training to staff – we support the mental well-being of clinicians and professionals who are exposed to traumatic and distressing experiences, such as those working with displaced people, through our virtual seminars led by our mental health specialists and lived experience experts. We have provided support to medics in low-resource settings as well as to multiagency professionals who work with displaced communities in the UK.
Mental health support to displaced communities – We provide mental health support to displaced people in the UK in partnership with local authorities, the NHS and community organisations. Our dedicated lived experience of migration and mental health support sessions are delivered to staff and communities across several local authorities in the UK.
Advocacy for vulnerable and displaced people – we have advocated for the policies, strategies and narratives that promote the physical and emotional well-being of people caught in conflict and in lowresource settings as well as of displaced people. We have done this through media, social media, public conferences and events.
The impact of our advocacy and policy work in support of people caught in conflict and displacement is reflected in the wide-ranging media interviews given by our CEO Dr Arian and through his social media content that has reached millions of people as well as his participation at national and international conferences and high-level meetings attended by policy makers, government, non-profit and for-profit organisations across the world.
Research presentation and publication
Through our dedicated mental health work, we have worked closely with academics and students from Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester universities and the NHS to study engagement with diverse communities and the development of culturally sensitive digital mental health tools and approaches.
Our work has been presented at numerous local, regional, national and international conferences and meetings.
Collaboration and advisory
We collaborate with a range of carefully chosen partners in multi-agency projects, using our expertise and learning to help improve healthcare across the world, especially through innovative use of readily available technology. This includes acting as an advisory consultancy to governments and international organisations in digital health, governance, and inclusion and providing advice on how to establish, launch and scale-up systems, especially as applied to emergency care and mental health, to build the resilience and capacity of local healthcare systems and make them more inclusive of refugees and other vulnerable people.
We have collaborated with the WHO, UN Refugee Agency and other UN organisations, the NHS, UK local authorities, and third sector organisations to enhance our objectives.

Objectives
Arian Teleheal serves for the public benefit, the relief and assistance of people in need in any part of the world who are the victims of war, natural disaster or catastrophe by supplying them with medical and general well-being assistance, including in the form of clinical advice through digital health, including telehealth, and teaching.
For the purposes of this clause, "telehealth" is a method of communicating clinical advice, information, and education to people in need and medics by phone, text, voice call, FaceTime, etc.
We have always and will continue to take our responsibilities to ensure that our charitable activities contribute significantly to the lives of those we work with. We work with other charitable and government organisations to improve existing healthcare systems for those in need.
We promote health and well-being education and disease prevention programmes with a view to relieving health inequality.
We advocate for and raise awareness about the physical, mental, and social well-being rights of those in need.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
The Charity is registered as a charity and is governed by its constitution. The board of trustees administer the charity. The trustees meet three times a year, and there are committees covering finance and Personnel.
The trustees are responsible for setting general policy, finalising and approving the annual plan and budget, monitoring the charity and taking major decisions about the strategic direction of the charity and any capital expenditure.
A Chief Executive is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive has delegated authority, within the terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and performance-related activity.
Risk Management
The Board of trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, particularly those related to the operations and finances of the charity. These risks are formally documented and regularly reviewed, and the trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the charity’s exposure to significant risk. The charity is also seeking to recruit additional trustees so that our beneficiaries can benefit from further perspectives.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The Trustees are aware that Company law 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
