Ensuring the availability of clean water, promoting proper hygiene, and prioritizing overall well-being are crucial. The presence of contaminated water leads to illness, resulting in lost productivity and hindering efforts to lift people out of poverty.
Alleviate Hunger:
Facilitating access to water resources contributes to food security by reducing crop vulnerability and decreasing hunger. Empowering families to feed themselves helps decrease their overall expenses.
Address Poverty:
Water plays a pivotal role in breaking the cycle of poverty. By offering our assistance and guidance, communities can thrive and progress.
Aid Those in Greatest Need:
Swiftly aiding the most vulnerable individuals and families helps alleviate one of their numerous challenges.

AL MEDINA 313 Independent Auditor's Report For The Period 7 August 2023 to 30 April 2024
Independent auditors report to the trustees on the accounts of the Charity.
We have audited the financial statements of Global Ehsan Relief Worldwide (unincorporated) for the period ended 30 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 105 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. This is the charity's first audit and the previous period was unaudited.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and auditors
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view.
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Boards's Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non financial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion the financial statements, give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 April 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; including Financial Reporting Standard 105 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the finanaal statements, we have concluded that the Trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Chanty's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you, if in our opinion:
the information given in the Trustes' Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

1 Accounting policies
Basis of accounts preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the micro entity provisions of the small entities under FRS 102, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations.
The organisation has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No.1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
The charity is entirely dependent on continuing donations from the local community and nationally. As a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing donations.
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below
Accounting convention

Incoming Resources (funds received)
Incoming resources such as donations, gifts and collections are accounted for on a receivable basis deferred as described below where appropriate.

General funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on the statement of financial activities. They are available for use at the discretion of trustees in the furtherance of the general activities of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are the net incoming resources available for the objects of the charity without specified purposes and are part of the general funds.
Restricted funds
Restricted funds are the net incoming resources avaiable for a particular area or purpose stated by the donor and are allocated appropriately..
Resources expended (charitable expenditure)
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and allocated to the relevant activity Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity and comprises the following :-

Management and administration of the charity.
Management and administration costs represent expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements
Going concern
The Association has sufficient cash at bank at the year end and has raised further funds since the year end, which provide adequate resources to finance committed development programme, along with the day to day operations. The trustees monitor the expenditure level and adjust development expenditure to ensure that expenditure is only incurred when sufficient funds are available to cover payments as they fall due. On this basis, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the association has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of twelve months after the date on which this report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.
