During the year the charity has raised £112,073 (2020 £40,411) from its fundraising activities. Costs relating to raising funds consisted of food for resale of £11898 (2020 £275) after adjusting for stock and £385 in donation collection costs.(2020 nil)
Other expenditure consisted of grants paid to Pakistan of £47,500 (2020 £39683) and overhead expenses of £4,853 (2020 £1,473) giving net income of £47,437 (2020 loss £1,020).
Total reserves of the charity at the year end were £48,420 (2020 £983) . Free reserves amounted to £46985 (2020 £983).
Reserves policy
The trustees wish to establish a level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that is adequate to enable the charity to operate and meet its objectives and enable the charity to continue as a going concern.This year due to the uncertainties with regard to the coronavirus pandemic, a higher level of reserves have been maintained.
Going concern
The trustees have considered the position regarding going concern particularly in the light of Covid 19. The trustees have looked at forecasts ,and are satisfied that with the reserves maintained, the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
The charity has sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities as they become due and expenditure will not be authorised unless sufficient funds are in place.For these reasons the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.
FUTURE PLANS
The trustees intend to continue collecting donations and fundraising in order to support the its charitable projects in Pakistan and elsewhere.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organization (CIO) governed according to its constitution dated on 10th January 2018 The CIO was recognized as a charity on 4th May 2018
The CIO is an independent charity and not part of any "umbrella" body and is registered in England.
In the event of the CIO being wound up, the members have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
There must be a minimum of three and a maximum of 12 trustees.
Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees , the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
Organisational structure
The trustees manage the affairs of the CIO and make all decisions regarding strategic matters, fundraising and all expenditure.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees are supplied with a copy of the constitution and the latest Trustees Annual Report and Accounts and information detailing their role as a trustee and their responsibilities.Training sessions will be given to new trustees to familiarize themselves with the charity and their obligations.
Related parties
The only related parties are the trustees none of whom are remunerated or receive any benefits in kind.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to establish systems to mitigate those risks to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure compliance with legislation.
External risks relate largely to funding as a result of the economic climate particularly in respect of the coronavirus pandemic resulting in difficulties in the charity supporting its projects. These risks are mitigated by looking at diversifying funding if possible to increase income and by keeping expenditure in check and ensuring sufficient reserves are maintained.
Furthermore the charity will not commit to funding projects unless sufficient resources are in place . The procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.

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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
