KARAM BHOOMI FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS 1 JANUARY 2022 TO 31 DECEMBER 2022
This is the Trustees’ report for Karam Bhoomi Foundation (“the Charity”), a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, charity number 1186163, on 5 November 2019 in England. These financials are the third to be submitted by the Charity since its establishment in 2019 and this report covers the period from 1 January 2022 until 31 December 2022 (“the Reporting Period”).
The Charity is managed by three trustees – Kaizarin Kalifa, as the Chair, along with Anju Lama Chughtai and Gabriela Collins – and operates with the primary purpose of supporting the needy and relieving poverty by supporting education and welfare of underprivileged children and their families in India. During the Reporting Period, the Charity did this by continuing to work with its partner An Initiative to Touch Your Soul (AITYS), whose aims are compatible with those of the Charity. AITYS is an all volunteer charitable trust based in India that provides education sponsorship for children, infrastructure support for schools and free medical camps for villagers in designated locations in Uttarakhand, a northern state in India bordering China.
As a relatively new charity, Karam Bhoomi’s strategy during 2022 was to continue to increase awareness of the Charity and its causes, and raise funds by attracting supporters whose views were aligned to those of the Charity. As in 2020 & 2021, opportunities to raise funds during 2022 were limited due to the challenging domestic economic environment which made it difficult to justify fund raising events for overseas causes.
Nevertheless, the Charity managed to raise approximately £10,000 (compared to £16,990 in 2021) primarily through:
-
personal donations of £7,490, and
-
a fund raising charity dinner on 5 November 2022 aimed at
-
(i) bringing together dedicated supporters and attracting new supporters; and (ii) using the event to re-emphasise the objectives and achievements of the charity. The event raised £2,541 after costs which included donations of £1,060.
Of the proceeds received by the charity during the year, an amount of £7,210 was sent to AITYS for its chartable cause of supporting projects to build class rooms and toilet facilities for schools in the deprived regions of Uttarakhand, a northern Indian state.
At the end of the year, the charity had a credit bank balance of £3,955.
The charity has an established website which is elaborate and gives people accessing the website more information about the charity and should increase people’s awareness. The website facilitates online donations, one off or regular.
The charity is set up to collect HMRC Gift Aid for its contributions, where it applies to donors.
The charity did not have a deficit during the Reporting Period.
