TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The overall aim of the charity is the prevention or relief of poverty anywhere in the world by providing or assisting in the provision of shelter, food aid, medical aid, education, training,
healthcare projects and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self-sufficient.
In furtherance of its objectives, the charity also assists in the relief of poverty, destitution and suffering among victims of war or natured disaster, trouble, or catastrophe in the form of shelter,
food aid, money (or other means deemed suitable) for persons, bodies, organisations and/or countries anywhere in the world affected including the provision of medical aid. It also provides education for orphans.
Activities to achieve these purposes
At Save One Life we want to give people the choice in how to recover from crisis by giving them cash assistance and improved access to humanitarian aid. We want to maintain their dignity and move them away from dependency.
Our vision is a world in which every human being has the means to support their basic needs with dignity.
In order to deliver our aims we have delivered a range of programmes specifically focused in Gaza since 2020, some of which continued into 2022-23. This included:
-
financial assistance grants to empower families with a choice in how to fulfil their essential needs, which differ from household to household, e.g. food, rent, shelter, clothing, school fees, etc.
-
a clean water programme to tackle the 97% of water pollution in Gaza. Clean water prevents poor hygiene and disease. (Programme now closed)
-
an orphan education programme to ensure disadvantaged orphans have access to a quality education. (Programme now closed)
-
an olive tree programme to provide farmers and others who rely on products of olive trees to have the means for a sustainable living. (Programme now closed)
However, we are now focussed on providing financial assistance only, and have concluded our other programmes.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
Our funding
The charity carried out a number of activities during the year to raise funds for our programmes and associated costs. Some of these have been highlighted below:
-
Seasonal appeals during Ramadan, the month of Dhul Hijjah and during the winter. These are communicated through digital channels and social media.
-
Regular social media content that drives people to our website where donations can be made.
-
Mosque collections, particularly during the month of Ramadan.
-
One off events and fundraising activities, e.g. Al Noor Boat Race, Ride4Gaza cycling event, Marathons & Hiking events.
-
We also reach out personally to individuals who we feel would be keen to donate to our causes.
Public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning the charity's activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2}'. It is the trustees' opinion that the operation of the charity in its present form is for the public benefit under the principles set out in the Charity Commission guidance.
Volunteers
Our volunteers
From the very beginning of our journey, we have relied on dedicated and committed volunteers to help us deliver our work. We have 20 registered volunteers who have supported us to deliver several community and fundraising events, such as the Gaza Grand Prix go-karting fundraiser, the annual Al-Noor Boat Race, a charity football tournament, as well as fundraising treks and walks.
Our volunteers have also been critical in taking donations via a call centre when we have taken part in live TV fundraising appeals, as well as supporting at over 30 mosque collections.
All volunteers are required to register with us and can attend an annual volunteer event, where the work of the organisation and the roles they are required to play are explained.

Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Charitable activities
During the year under Save One Life spent £717,313 (2022: £911,272) on charitable activities to fund the various projects in place for the vulnerable families in Gaza.
Review of Development, Activities and Achievement
There were a few projects that were in progress during the year. Towards the end of 2022, some programmes were closed to allow the charity to focus on Financial Assistance.
The Financial Assistance Programme – our flagship programme – provides direct financial assistance to families in Gaza. These distributions are often the only form of income for the most vulnerable families in Gaza. More importantly, they give them the choice in how to meet their essential needs.
The money is spent with local traders and helps stimulate the local economy and ensure the impact of the aid benefits the local community as well as individual households.
Education is my right: Since 2019 we have been providing a class of 30 orphans with a high-quality education in Gaza. This was ongoing during the year. This included school fees, uniforms, a school bag, school books and stationery, transport, and school meals. This programme was concluded in December 2022 and closed.
Tree for Life: The main aim of the Tree for Life programme was to revitalise the olive industry in Gaza by planting olive trees, which are a source of livelihood for thousands of vulnerable families in Gaza. This programme was also closed towards the end of 2022.
Hydrate: The Hydrate Gaza programme provided access to safe and clean water to families in Gaza. Clean drinking water is an essential human need. The project involved the installation of water tanks at the homes of the needy and the water tanks were filled on a monthly basis with clean water. This programme was closed towards the end of 2022.
Ansar Fund/Administration expenditure: 100% of all donations received are donated to the relevant cause. For general administration purposes and to fund all the charitable activities, to promote the charity, there is a separate Ansar Fund where donations received towards this fund are used for these purposes. This remains open to cover all running costs of the charity.
Financial review
The total donations received for the year amounted to £838,366 (2022: £1,135,751), marking an expected decrease of 26.18% compared to the previous year which featured a drive towards a one-million-pound fundraising target.
It's worth noting that this total includes an additional £190,410 (2022: £60,405) generated through various other fundraising activities such as collections at Mosques and various fundraising events. Additionally, with the charity's collaboration with fundraising platforms, the charity was able to secure £73,610 (2022: £122,007) through Gift Aid Claims.
Furthermore, during the year under review, Save One Life transferred £707,313 to its partners in Turkey to fund the various projects in Gaza. This represented an expected reflection to the amount of donations received in the period.
In summary, the charity's financial position and results showcase stability, continuity, diversification in fundraising efforts, successful collaborations, and prudent financial management. These achievements not only highlight the organisation's dedication but also reinforces its capacity to make a meaningful impact on its mission.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Plans for future periods
The charity has moved to closing a number of its current projects in order to focus solely on providing financial assistance.
This decision has been based on several factors. Firstly, feedback from beneficiaries has shown that the financial assistance is a much more empowering form of charity that can be tailored and used for individual needs. Secondly, there are several other charities delivering education, clean water and olive tree projects in Gaza. Finally, the size of our organisation and the resources at our disposal means it is better for us to focus on one area where we can specialise in and deliver quality over quantity. Financial assistance is a more efficient way of delivering aid compared to material goods, but there are costs to distributing cash aid securely and legally. Therefore, we will review our financial and resourcing model accordingly to ensure we have the funds we need to raise and deliver financial assistance.
The charity also implemented plans from the previous year to recruit a paid staff position within the organisation to ensure all required financial, regulatory, and operational requirements will be adhered to. This commenced in November 2022.

Risk management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review risks to which the charity is exposed, and to ensure that appropriate internal controls are in place to provide reasonable safeguards against fraud and
human errors. The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the charity are as follows:
-
Increase in competition where a growing number of charities are seeking funds from the same donors.
-
Safeguarding assets against unauthorised use.
-
Compliance requirements with relevant laws and regulations.
-
Reputational risk where any bad publicity worldwide could have a detrimental impact on the level of future donations.
The trustees have taken the following measures to mitigate some of the risks:
-
Save One Life uses a third-party organisation to distribute charitable projects, including financial assistance. To ensure the funds are being donated directly to the intended beneficiaries they have a number of mitigation in place,
-
Background checks on the third party, including registration with the relevant government bodies in the country; evidence of their delivery of programmes in that location; evidence of their policies and procedures.
-
Names, addresses and amounts of beneficiaries who received the financial assistance and any other charitable donations, e.g. clean water, olive trees, etc.
-
On-the-ground spot checks by a separate third party to check names on the beneficiary list have received the funds.
-
Video and photographic evidence, date stamped, that shows distribution of the funds to beneficiaries.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAVE ONE LIFE
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of SAVE ONE LIFE (the charity) for the year ended 31 May 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

SAVE ONE LIFE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
SAVE ONE LIFE is a charitable incorporated organisation.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery Over 5 years, straight line method. Fixtures & Fittings Over 5 years, straight line method. Computers Over 5 years, straight line method.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
