Background:
The Wave of Peace (WAVE) is a volunteer-led charitable organisation dedicated to advancing and promoting human rights. Founded in 2016 by Shaimaa Mohamed Hassan, WAVE was officially registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2018. The charity operates with the mission of fostering peace, social justice, and human dignity through education, advocacy, and community support.
WAVE is primarily run by volunteers, with all trustees dedicating their time voluntarily and receiving no financial benefits from the
organisation. The trustees confirm that the CIO’s annual report and financial statements for the year ending 1st April 2024 are in full compliance with the organisation's governing documents and the Statement of Recommended Practice, as per the guidelines set by the Charity Commission.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
WAVE is committed to defending and promoting human rights as enshrined in United Nations charters, international laws, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and key covenants on civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights. Our trustees have carefully adhered to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, ensuring that all activities align with legal responsibilities and best practices for effective charity governance. By following good practice guidance, trustees have maintained transparency, accountability, and efficiency in running the charity while staying true to its mission. Throughout the year, WAVE trustees and volunteers remained dedicated to fulfilling the charity’s objectives and addressing the needs of its beneficiaries. Their efforts were focused on raising awareness of human rights issues, promoting public support for human rights , and supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement, and human rights violations. Some of the events and activities delivered include: The WAVE team organised an event at the University of East London (UEL) in May 2023 to raise awareness about the conflict in Afghanistan, with a particular focus on violence against women and girls, as well as the broader human rights challenges faced by Afghan refugees. The event featured an engaging and thought-provoking program that combined participants discussions and creative expressions to shed light on the struggles and resilience of the Afghan people. A key highlight was a powerful collection of poetry and short stories that captured the lived experiences of Afghans from the post-2001 era to the present day. These literary pieces offered a deeply moving and personal perspective on conflict, displacement, and the quest for justice, amplifying the voices of those who are often unheard. By bringing together academics, activists, students, and members of the Afghan community, the event fostered meaningful dialogue, encouraged solidarity, and reinforced the urgent need for continued advocacy and support for Afghan refugees and human rights defenders. Through this initiative, WAVE reaffirmed its commitment to raising awareness, educating the public, and inspiring action in support of those affected by conflict and human rights violations. WAVE is represented on the Equality and Human Rights Panel (EHRP), which includes members from various Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations operating in the borough of Southwark. The panel plays a crucial role in reviewing and providing constructive feedback on Equality Analysis documents prepared by the council. It also offers insights and recommendations to support the

council in meeting its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty, ensuring more inclusive and equitable decision-making.
The Arabic-English Language and Cultural Exchange weekly sessions continued to take place every Wednesday in an inclusive and welcoming environment , ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected. These sessions bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering meaningful dialogue, promoting cultural understanding, and strengthening community cohesion.
Throughout the year, the WAVE team organised a series of impactful activities to celebrate significant international human rights events, including International Human Rights Day, International Women’s Day, and the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Through these activities, WAVE not only commemorated these important days but also inspired action and empowered communities to challenge discrimination and injustice on both local and global scales.
