Achievements & Performances
Clean Water Access – Pakistan
We supported vulnerable communities in Pakistan by installing water pumps in areas where access to clean and reliable water is limited. These pumps provide families with a safer and more convenient source of water for drinking, cooking and everyday household needs, helping to improve health, hygiene and quality of life.
Community Food Support – Uganda
We provided food support to vulnerable families and individuals across Uganda, focusing on communities affected by poverty and food insecurity. Through the distribution of essential food supplies, we helped families meet their basic nutritional needs and provided much-needed relief to those facing difficult circumstances.
Supporting Families in Need – UK
Alongside our international humanitarian work, we continued to support people experiencing hardship here in the UK. Food was distributed to individuals and families in need, helping those struggling with the rising cost of living and ensuring that vulnerable members of our local communities had access to essential food supplies.
Masjid Construction Project – Pakistan
We contributed towards the construction of a masjid in Pakistan to provide the local community with a dedicated place for prayer, worship and community activities. The project will provide a lasting facility that can serve local families for generations while strengthening the community and providing a centre for religious and educational activities.
Bringing Eid Joy to Families – Gaza
During Eid, we provided clothing to vulnerable children and families in Gaza. The distribution was intended to bring dignity, comfort and a sense of celebration to people living through extremely difficult circumstances. Providing new clothes allowed beneficiaries, particularly children, to experience some of the happiness and togetherness associated with Eid despite the hardships surrounding them.
4
Emergency Food Relief – Jordan
We provided essential food assistance to vulnerable families and individuals in Jordan. The distributions were aimed at households experiencing financial hardship and food insecurity, helping them access staple food items and meet their immediate needs. Through this support, we sought to provide practical relief while preserving the dignity of those receiving assistance.
Supporting Orphans Through Sponsorship
Our orphan sponsorship programme provides ongoing support to vulnerable children who have lost one or both parents. Sponsorship helps towards essential needs such as food, clothing, education and general welfare, giving children greater stability and the opportunity to build a more secure future. Through regular support, we aim to ensure that orphaned children receive consistent care while maintaining their dignity and well-being.

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.

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;
