The Trustees who served during the period were:

Objectives and Activities

The primary objective of the charity is to:

Deliver an effective response to a national disaster, catastrophe,
conflict or crisis.
Provide relief and assistance to the affected persons
Supply food, shelter and medical aid to those in dire need

Volunteers

Insaaf is predominantly a volunteer driven charity. The volunteers are responsible for managing the projects, activities, events and other daily affairs under the guidance of the trustees. Any charity trips and related costs are also self-funded to ensure all the donations are utilised towards the benefit of the public. Insaaf is extremely grateful to all its volunteers for their dedication, continuous commitment, and heart-warming efforts for being the driving force of the charity.

Achievements and Performance

Insaaf managed to raise the amount of £55,201.90 (£46,714.59 Donations + £8,487.31 Gift Aid) during the stated period. In 2024, Insaaf aimed to deliver life-changing humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities through targeted international relief efforts. Our work focused on three key areas: improving access to clean water in rural Togo, supporting Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and providing urgent medical support in Gaza. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the hard work of our dedicated volunteers and charity partners we managed to fulfil the following projects:

Togo Project: Water Wells:

Project Cost: £8,546.46

Insaaf travelled to Togo, West Africa and worked in coordination with Cansuyu charity organisation. Insaaf and Cansuyu managed together to create 3 wells in 3 Togolese villages in need of water.

Qurbani and Food Project / Bangladesh:

Project Cost: £19,544.77

Insaaf travelled to Bangladesh for Eid ul Adha and distributed 500 food packs and Qurbani meat of 15 cows amongst the Rohingya Refugees. : Qurbanī refers to the ritual sacrifice of a livestock animal during the Muslim Festival of Eid.

Gaza, OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territories) Medical Project: Project Cost: £20,003.56

Insaaf partnered with Islamic Help charity organisation and 2 senior orthopaedics from the UK to provide medical support for 1 month in the European hospital in Gaza, Occupied Palestinian Territories. Our 2 senior orthopaedics managed to provide essential medical equipment and proceeded to more than 300 surgical operations on the wounded victims of the war in Gaza.

Gift Aid:

Insaaf received £8,487.31 Gift Aid for the year 2024.

The sum of £3,966.42 was utilised for the operational costs of the charity. The rest of the Gift Aid amount (£4,520.89) remained available to fund Charitable Activities as well as further operational costs.

In order to tackle the high travelling costs and to encourage the Insaaf volunteers to participate in charity activities the charity started utilising a portion of the Gift Aid towards volunteer travel costs. The current policy is to cover 65% of travel costs. This will be subject to periodic policy review.

Financial Review

The reserves show a total of £32,189.55 as of the 31 December 2024.

The trustees are of the opinion that to maintain unrestricted reserves at this level appears to be a prudent course of action to take.

Independent Examiner

A resolution proposing that ORM Accounting Services Ltd to be reappointed as Independent Examiner of the company will be put to the members.

On behalf of the board of Trustees

S Tchikou R El Korchi Trustee Trustee Dated: 21 October 2025 Dated: 21 October 2025

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• State whether the policies followed are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity 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 charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report

To the trustees of INSAAF

I report on the accounts of the company for the period ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 11 to 14.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and

consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
To prepare accounts, which accord with the accounting records, comply

with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by charities

have not been met; or

(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
