For The One is a charity, driven by love, that exists to reach the poor, the broken, the
oppressed and the forgotten with unconditional love through acts of service. We
recognise the injustice of poverty, oppression and war. In response, we seek to meet the
most critical needs of the one in front of us. through the provision of medical care,
shelter, food relief and education. Working in some of the most extreme war-torn
communities brings numerous challenges, however FTO continues to grow.
In addition to working directly with impoverished communitie5, FTO has partnered with
two organisations SEM. in Ukraine and Way MakerTrust. in South East Asia.
Ukraine
Kherson is a city in Kherson province of South Eastern Ukraine, located on the Black Sea
and the Dnieper River. The city is divided into left and right shores of which both shores
were occupied by Russia from March to November 2022. The nine month of occupation
left thousands of families crushed in spirit and broken in heart. On the 11 th of November
2022 the Ukrainian forces liberated the right shore, however the left is still under
occupation and the Russians continue to shell the city day and night. The locals said that
surviving another day is like a lottery, you never know when a rocket will hit you or your
house, or when shrapnel from rockets could kill you.
In June, 2023, the situation in Kherson worsened when the Kakhovka Dam was
destroyed. As a result the entire city and surrounding townslvillages flooded. All of the
buildings and the fields of the city were completely covered in water. Those who could
not escape in time either drowned or waited on the roofs of their houses to be
evacuated by volunteers. For many residents already reeling from the war, the flood
destroyed everything they had left. The people of Kherson have had to start from
scratch and need everything from shelter, furniture, mattresses, blankets, hygiene items,
food and medicine. Our partner on the ground. travelled with a couple and their son
from HLJngary, a photographer from western Ukraine and a volunteer from Kyiv region.
The trip to Kherson lasted for five days, which included two days of travel to get to the
destroyed city.
For The One works through local partners and organisations on the ground who not
only understand the needs but also those who are well established within the
community- SEM are acquainted with the regional and together with local partners know
most of the people in need personally. In this instance, the biggest need was for the
ForThe One

elderly and disabled population. SEM were able to purchase a large number of adult
hygiene pads for the elderly and those with severe disabilities in addition to bandages
and medicines ranging from creams with antibiotic properties, to
medications for
multiple chronic illnesses.
The citizens of Kherson have suffered many terrible things but through it all they
remained strong. However, the flood caused terrible loss, which appeared to be the final
straw for many older people or those living with a disability. During the trip, SEM went
to a small district of Kherson city, where 18 bedridden people were living. These people
were not bedridden before the flood but the mental toll of losing their homes,
belongings, family, friends, freedom and safety caused them to suffer tremendous
psycholo9ical and physical ill health and in some cases stripped them of their
independence and dignity.
Once SEM had delivered the humanitarian aid to the charity headquarters, the team of
local volunteers sorted out supplies for each person (food, water, cleaning and hygiene
products, hygiene pads and medicines) and delivered them to all those in need.
Supplies were given to those who were bedridden and a number of residents who had
lost their homes to the flood. Alongside humanitarian aid, they were able to receive
friendship, love and hope, a key priority for the team. Many people were so very 9rateful
for the help and friendship they received.
While the team were there, two explosions were heard close-by a5 a result of a Russian
drone attack, one of which exploded very close to the headquarters of a local charity. By
the time the team got back to the centre. they found rocket debris at the entrance of the
build ing. It was a miracle that nobody was hurt or killed.

The small charity SEM work5 Wlth in Kherson had run out of the adult hygiene pads and
medicines due to the demand being so great. Thankfully we were able to deliver 73
bags of hygiene pads. two large boxes of medicine and one additional box of
bandages and creams. The charity's director wanted to personally thank the enormous
generosity of everyone who helped provide these vital supplies. The locals, couldn't
express their gratitude enough for this support, they were crying and smiling at the
same time.
South East Asla
Over the past year, For The One has continued to respond to the physical needs of the
poor, war-torn and marginalised the provision of healthcare, food, shelter and
education, as well as meeting critical emotional and spiritual needs. Some of the
highlights included..
Providing 93 families with food relief packages including rice, oil and eggs. Over
Christmas, 2023, we provided 230 people, including many workers from a nearby
rubber plantation, with a delicious meal and an opportunity to hear the Christmas
story.
Walking alongside 21 individuals requiring a range of medical care and hospitsl
treatment for a variety of conditions including lupus, cataracts, kidney failure,
hydrocephalus, atrial septal defect IASD) and cardiomegaly (enlarged heartl and
acute hypertension, chronic back pain, sepsis, ceNical cancer, mental health crisis,

and a new prosthesis for a traumatic leg amputation. For others we have supported
ongoing medication costs that far exceed their ability to afford.
Providing 1 familywith 6 fishing nets to promote self sufPiciency.
Organising an educational trfp to a small theme park wlth 12 vSllage chlldren,
most of whom come from desperately poor, rural, villages with little access to
education.
Continued to support school fees for 1 child rescued from child slavery in a bottle
cleaning factory and educational resources for an additional 50 chlldren to enable
them to receive an education.
Rebuilt 1 dorm house for 4 boys attending school.
Provided 12 chlldren from a rural vSllage wlth bunkbeds. mattresses. mosqulto
nets and storage boxes to enable them to attend school during term time.
Provided 100 clean delivery kits (CDKS) to pregnant women currently living as
refugees in a neighbouring country and internally displaced people still trapped in a
war zone inside their own country.
CDKS
In August we had the privilege of partnering with a local charity established by a close
friend, the 'Way Maker Trust, IWMTI, to provide 100 CDKS (Clean Delivery Kits) to
pregnant women currently living as refugees and internally displaced people still
trapped in a war zone inside their own country. Mar)y women and babies face the risk of
sickness, disease, injury and /or death during and after childbirth from preventable
causes, most commonly simple infections. Items as simple as a sterile blade for cutting
the umbilical cord and a cord clamp literally save lives. The CDKS also include items
such as.. gloves, soap, hats. blankets. baby oil, baby powder, and swaddling cloths.
Despite the huge logistical, geographical, and situational challenge5 of making and
delivering these kits, our partner and her team of volunteers are saving lives and
restoring hope to many broken and hurting women.

Education
Eagle pre-school currently have 43 children enrolled in the pre-school from the local
community. Many of these families are daily workers and when there is no work
available, there is no food on the table that day. Due to poverty and cultural beliefs,
there are few opportunities for the children to develop key ski115 through play. The
teachers, however, are determined to continue to provide opportunities for the children
in their community. During a freak storm in March 2023, the children's play area was
completely destroyed. One of our Trustees had not long lost her husband, to cancer. In
his memory, a very generous gift was given to For The One which was used to rebuild
the play barn with good foundations and invest in new and exciting play equipment for
the children.
During the cooler season we hired a local sports facility and held the first ever sports
day. The children had an fantastic time and it was really encouraging to see so many of
them excited about joining in regardless of whether or not they won a race. For The One
continues to provides educational resources to the school to enable them to find new
and creative ways of learning, however getting out and active is definitely the favou rite.
For The One were able to fund one of the teachers on a training course to better
understand the requirements of children with special educational needs and how
classrooms and teaching methods can be adapted to give these precious children
access to an education. Although steps are being taken to improve access to education
for children with special educational needs, there are still very few opportunities for
these children and no provision in main stream schools.
D is a 13-years-old boy who has never been to school. When we met him he couldn't
read or write. He was sent to a glass bottle cleaning factory with two of his younger
ForThe One
lJwity Registration No: 1183307

7of11
brothers to earn money for the family when he was only 8 years old, and his brothers
were 6 and 7. They had to live there as it was far from their home.
Whilst at the factory they were beaten. abused, staNed and forced to work long hours
every Single day with no break. After 5 year5, D managed to escape and somehow
found his way home. Some time later, one of D's younger brothers was murdered in
tragic circumstances, further exacerbating his trauma. It is common in this part of Asia
for families trapped in a cycle of povety to send their young children out to work whilst
parents stay at home taking care of infant siblings. Often parents are illiterate
themselves and therefore the cycle repeats itself. In order to support the family and
ensure they have an alternative to sending their children to work, we took time with the
family to come up with some viable small business options that the mother and
grandmother could run from the home. As the family live near a river they asked for
fishing nets so that they could catch fish and sell them in the market. We were able to
purchase 6 new fishin9 nets which are already being Put to good use.
Given D's age and because he doesn't have a birth certificate, he is unable to register for
school. However, ForThe One was able to organise 2-hours of private tuition with a local
teacher 5 days a week. D is finally learning to read and write in both English and his
native language. He has been doing exceptionally well and studying hard, even coming
home with A s in his work book. At 14-years.old he graduated from kindergarten early,
and is now studying grade one and absolutely thriving. He is full of mischief and runs
everywhere. The greatest joy is to watch this once broken and traumatised little boy find
healing, one day at a time. We are so very proud of him and the way he ha5 faced
everything with such courage and determination. Love is slowly unravelling his heart
and healing every broken part, piece by piece.
Food A5d
Due to political crisis, conflict. economic downturn. pre-existing poverty and climate-
related shocks communities are struggling to feed their families. After FTO was asked to
assist in one particular village we realised the desperate need of this community.
Following an in-person assessment we were able to provide all 70 families, approx 350
people, one month's supply of rice, eggs and oil. The families were delighted and so
overjoyed at this gift that they wept as the food packages were handed to them. This
enabled them to build up a small amount savings to spread out their income out over
the coming months.

Food is very important in Asian culture and serving one another a meal is a great honour
for all involved. Christmas was another great event for the whole village to come
together to celebrate the message of hope, many for the very first time. Everyone came
together to help cook, prepare tables and to serve. It was an opportunity to not only tell
each of the 230 villagers they are seen, known and loved, but to show them love in
action. After feasting together everyone gathered to hear the Christmas story. There was
excitement and wonder in the atmosphere as hundreds of men, women and children
fought to get as close to the front as possible, desperate to hear of this Christmas g ift
that was avai lable to them.
Medical
Over the past year we have been able to journey alongside 21 individuals requiring a
range of different medical care and hospital treatments for a variety of conditions
including lupus, cataracts, kidney failure, hydrocephalus, atrial septal defect IASDI and
cardiomegaly {enlarged heartl, chronic back pain, sepsis, cervical cancer, mental health
crisis, and a new prosthesis for a traumatic leg amputation. For others we have
supported ongoing medication costs that far exceed their ability to afford. Below are
just a few of their stories:
AM is a 70-year-old gentleman who suffered from a traumatic injury to his left eye
leaving him partially blind whilst collecting fruit from trees in the village. He was told by
doctors that there was a slight chance his sight could be restored but that they would
have to act quickly. The longer he waited, the less chance his sight could be saved.
Unfortunately AM lives in povety and when the family couldn't afford the cost of the
sur9ery he was sent home. A local pastor with connections to the village contacted u5 to
ask for help. AM had emergency surgery on his left eye in August and his sight was fully
restored. He is now back at work collecting fruit for his family to sell in the market.
NS is a 20 year old who lived in a rural village with her brother, sister-in-law and their 3
children in a small bamboo house. Her parents died many years ago and it tore the
family apart. Two years ago NS'S legs began to swell and she found it painful to walk. The
family saved what money they could to send her to the hospital. The doctors diagnosed
her with rheumatoid arthritis, started her on medication and made a referral to a
rheumatology consultant. At this point the family had used up all their savings and there
was no money left for further treatment so NS returned home. Over the next year, Ns's
symptoms got progressively worse, she dropped out of school and could barely leave

9of11
the house. Her whole body became swollen, from her face down to her toes. Every
movement became excruciatingly painful and she was often tired and short of breath.
When we met NS, she was acutely unwell and had lost all hope. It wasn't difficult to see
the pain she was in. She timidly told u5 her story, the pain, the hopelessne55 and the
fear. We asked what her dreams were for the future, at which she let out a nervous laugh
and then bowed her head and wept. With some gentle persuasion, she told us she loves
animals and wanted to be a vet. We took NS to the hospital where they immediately
ordered multiple tests including blood. X-rays and ECG'S and sent her home on
medication awaiting test results. Three days later we returned to the hospital where she
was diagnosed with Lupus and immediately admitted with an enlarged heart and
inflamed kidneys. Lupus is an autoimmune disease with no medical cure but symptoms
can be managed to maintain a good quality of life. Following diagn0515 and the start of
treatment NS deteriorated significantly as her whole body began to shut down. During
this time NS also developed two blood clots in her brain and was later rushed to a
neurosurgical hospital for specialist treatment. De5Plte all this, the care she received
from the hospital was exceptional and after a month she was allowed home to continue
her journey of recovery. We continue to love and support NS through friendship,
encouragement, regular hospital visits. and financial provision to cover all medical costs.
As NS is now too old to return to school For The One is funding English lessons to
provide her with a skill that will open up a variety of job opportunities she wouldn't
otherwise have had without completing school. We know this is a long road but we are
committed to seeing NS thriving, healthy, and dreaming of an exciting future.
NN is a 2-year-old boy born with hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up
around the brain and creates incredible pressure in the head. The local hospitals didn't
have the facilities, equipment or experience to treat him appropriately and so for a long
time he struggled at home a5 his condition slowly deteriorated. Eventually hi5 parents
were able to both save and borrow enough money to travel to a larger city where they
saw a neurosurgical team. NN successfully had a VP shunt fitted which is a device that
allow5 the excess fluid to drain from around the brain into the stomach via a tube. Since
then he has been back and forward to the hospital with life threatening bacterial
infections and blockages in the shunt. The neurosurgical team were no longer able to
manage NN'S condition and sent the family to a tertiary centre in the south of the
country. His parents left their two other children at home and made the long. dangerous
journey to the city- Treatment continued but after exhausting their own savings and
ForThe One
lJwity Registration No: 1183307

capacity to borrow from family and friends they were desperate and left with the
heartbreaking decision to consider taking NN home without further treatment. It was at
this point that a friend of the family heard about For The One and asked us for help. We
have been able to provide finances over the past 6 months to cover emergency surgery,
intravenous antibiotics and anti-sickness medication plus regular blood and lumber
puncture tests, scans and other treatments, to monitor his condition. We hope NN will
be well enough to return home soon and begin to thrive with his family.
KW is a 20-year-old women with a rare cardiac abnormality called an atrial septal defect
IASDI, also known as a hole in the heart. The family are very poor and lacked the funds
they needed to seek medical treatment. This meant that her condition went
und iagnosed until she was 13 years old at which point she was quite unwell. The family
were told she would need urgent surgery to correct the defect but with no money
available they went home. Now at 20, KW desperately needed surgery to save her life.
Kw's heart and lungs have been over compensating for so long that she now has a
range of additional complications including severe hypertension and cardiomegaly, all
of which required urgent treatment. Without this surgery KW won't survive. When we
met with her in her home she sobbed as she described her whole life as being a
constant strugg le, and the battle with loss of hope, disappointment and frustration. As
we begin this journey together we pray that KW will not only find physical heali ng but
also healing for her heart, restored joy, fresh hope and excitement for the future.
As we reflect on the past year, the joys and the challenges, there is a tremendous sense
of both achievement and a deep humbling. Every individual we have had the privilege
of serving in some capacity is not simply a project we have helped, they are people we
love. Every created person holds intrinsic worth. purpose and destiny. Our hope is that
as we have responded to the most basic of physical needs such as food, shelter,
medicine and education, we have also met an emotional and spiritual need for
friendship, hope, healing and restoration.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 7TH MAY 2024** 

## **12. STAFF COSTS AND NUMBERS** 

The Charity employed no members of staff during this or the previous financial year. 

## **13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES** 

No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them (2022/23: None). 

## **14. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **15. RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **16. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

Report to the trustees/ members of For The One on the accounts for the year ended 7th May 2024 set out on pages 16 to 23. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

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

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 130 of the Charities Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

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.
