## **Structure, governance and management**
Ittefaq Foundation (the “Charity”) is a charitable incorporated organisation and received charitable status in October 2018.
## **Organisational structure**
The Trustees are responsible for the general management of the Charity and ensuring that all legal requirements are met. The Trustees receive no remuneration or other financial benefits from their role as trustee. The management structure consists volunteers who are supported to efficiently carry out their duties to meet the charitable objectives. The Trustees meet on a monthly basis, physically and/or online, and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the Charity. The Trustees are responsible for formulating the strategies and policies of the Charity in line with guidelines set by the Charity Commission.
## **Objectives**
Our vision is to reduce hunger and provide monthly food support to the most needy. In planning our activities, we have considered guidance from the Charity Commission to ensure we meet our public benefit requirements. Our objectives, activities and developments are reviewed annually.

## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities**
Under company law the trustees have the same legal responsibilities as company directors and the title is interchangeable.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and the profit and loss of the company for that year.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 15 OCTOBER 2023**
## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities (continued)**
In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company 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 company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with special provisions of section 477 of Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
