NURUL HUDA CIO Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is set up as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is registered with the Charity Commissioners under registration number 1191371. The charity was registered on 21 September 2020.

The Trustees during the period under review were:

Sheila Montgomery - Chair of Trustees Niala Bhatti - Treasurer Rouksana Fakim Kawsar Pandore Rukiye Alptekin

Objectives and activities

The principal objects of the charity are the relief of poverty and hardship in the poorer countries and areas particularly, but not exclusively Kenya, West Africa and Myanmar. This relief is provided by food and other essential items, and funds to individuals in need and to charity organisations working locally, to prevent or relieve poverty.

Achievements and performance of the Charity

The main existing projects and activities are stated below.

1. Madagascar

Following news reports about droughts in Madagascar, Nurul Huda contributed to regular hot meals and food distribution. This was carried out throughout the year to feed families, orphans and the needy in the Provinces of Tulear(Toliara) and Manjunga.

The donations were forwarded to the Charity, Societe Solidarite Pauvrete (SSP) based in Mauritius, known to one of our Trustees. SSP Charity works with teams of people in the villages of Motombe, Ampasinabo, Antsokoboy, Androva, Antanambao and Mangarivotra within Madagascar. Depending on the sponsorship available, they gather between 50-600 people to distribute food bags or serve hot meals. Some of the people walk up to 3km to reach the food camps.

2. Kenya

Donations were paid to a charity partner in Kenya. Qurbani meat and food was distributed to the orphans and the needy, on Eidul Fitr, in towns of Lamu and Malindi, and also for the month of Hajj. As before, monies were donated to Sheikh Nazim Sufi Trust in the UK who then forwarded them to a Charity partner in Kenya.

3. Myanmar

We were, as before, able to send financial support successfully to different locations in Myanmar, mainly near Mandalay, to assist families with basic needs.

Rice bags, oil and food parcels were distributed to numerous families during the month of Ramadan. Qurbani meat was distributed amongst 280 families and orphans during the month of Hajj.

NURUL HUDA CIO Report of the Trustees

4. Guinea Bissau

Donations were forwarded to Darul Hijrah Foundation based in Bissau through a well-known and personal referral. The monies were used for the education and school fees of 27 students ( mainly orphans) ranging from the age of 7 to 18yrs. Part of the donations were spent in the excavation of 3 Water Wells. Donations of foodstuffs were also made to families in Bissau, Gabu ,and the surrounding villages. We were able to support about 100 families, with a minimum of 5 children or more, based in Guinea Bissau.

Additional Information:

Smaller donations were forwarded for the earthquake disaster in Turkey and the floods in Pakistan. Our main objective was to help people in need from all walks of life. This was done mainly through selfreferral and referrals from parties well known to us.

Nurul Huda is mainly supported by members within our organisation. It is a volunteer run organisation and our members have provided the support and assistance required for the relief of poverty. The Charity is planning further activities in the new year which will be mainly based in the UK

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Nurul Huda CIO

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 8.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of 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 the seeking of 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 examiner's 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:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
