## **Trustees Annual Report for the period ending 31st December 2020** ## **MITHAQ INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION FOR PEOPLES RIGHTS Charity registration number: 1188927** The Covid 19 pandemic has had a major impact on our efforts to get the charity up and running. UK Banks paused the opening of new charity bank accounts, which has meant that we have been unable to commence our fund raising activities. Additionally, 3 of our 4 trustees were in the process of renewing their passports - applications were submitted to HM Passport Office in February 2021, but the new passports only arrived in mid January 2022. As a result, we have no funds/reserves at present. Full details of our accounts will be available on the Charities Commission website as soon as the charity is running effectively. With the Covid situation now easing, and once we are able to open a suitable bank account, we intend to move forward enthusiastically towards launching the charity. ## **Public Benefit Statement** Our Charity was formed to provide humanitarian support for refugees, displaced persons and their dependants, initially in the UK, then subsequently in Iraq and Turkey. Our objectives and vision are as follows: Provision and distribution of food, clothing and financial support. Provision of Basic Education. Provision of Medical Assistance. Construction of Buildings for Accommodation. Introduction of Clean Water Systems. The achievement of these objectives and vision will incur no private benefit.
