Achievements & Performances

Sadaqa and Food Distribution in Uganda

We provided regular food support and sadaqa distribution to vulnerable communities across Uganda. Through these efforts, many families were able to access nutritious meals and vital necessities, ensuring stability and relief in areas facing chronic poverty and food insecurity.

Sweets for Children in Gaza

To bring joy to children enduring the hardships of conflict, we distributed sweets and treats in Gaza, particularly during festive periods like Eid. These simple gifts brought smiles and moments of happiness to hundreds of children affected by violence and instability.

Charity Dinners for Palestine

We organized charity dinners to raise crucial funds for humanitarian relief in Palestine. These events united supporters and communities in a shared mission to provide essential food, medical aid, and support services to those living under hardship.

Hot Meals in Tanzania

In Tanzania, we provided freshly prepared hot meals to vulnerable individuals and families throughout the year. These meals ensured that recipients—many of whom faced daily hunger—had access to nourishing food, improving their well-being and dignity.

Food Pack Distribution in Palestine

We delivered food packs to hundreds of families across Palestine, especially timed during Ramadan and other critical periods. Each pack contained staple items to sustain a family for a full month, alleviating the burden of food insecurity in times of extreme hardship.

Water Pumps in Pakistan

We constructed numerous water pumps in southern Pakistan, supplying clean and reliable water to over 100 households. These pumps drastically improved daily life by reducing waterborne illnesses and ensuring families had access to safe drinking water close to home.

Solar Panel Madrassah Support UK

We supported a UK-based madrassah by installing solar panels, reducing its reliance on nonrenewable energy and cutting operational costs. This sustainable initiative ensures a cleaner energy source while allowing funds to be reallocated toward educational resources and student support.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 01 May 2024 TO 30 April 2025 TO THE TRUSTEES

I report on the accounts for the period 01 May 2024 to 30 April 2025 set out below.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 examiners 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 have not been met;

(2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
