**STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Board of Trustees**
The Board of Trustees sets our future aims and priorities focusing on strategic planning and governance and also evaluates our performance and progress in our work to alleviate poverty and suffering.
The Board of Trustees appraises the Senior Management Team and can make appointments to it as well as dismissals. The Board of Trustees also make sure that we satisfy the regulatory requirements on us as a charity and works with key stakeholders.
## **Recruiting and Appointing Trustees**
All our trustees are volunteer, chosen because they all have the diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience that we need to respond to the challenges of today. Stakeholders and partners may nominate trustees and sometimes we will make a personal approach to potential candidates.
## **Governing document**
The Qamar Trust refers to the charity incorporated organisation with a governing document known as CIO Registration by foundation originally incorporated on 01 October 2020.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
The annual report and financial statements are prepared according to the relevant law and approved by the trustees.
The trustees keep adequate accounting records and they show and explain our transactions. The records also disclose our financial position with reasonable accuracy at any time and enable trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 2015.
## **Grant Making Policies**
We provide grants to projects if the request meets our charitable objectives and criteria. Project grant making is managed according to a designated process, which is documented in our Operational Risk-Management Framework. We aim to treat all grant applications professionally, equally and fairly. We make the final decision as to eligibility to receive a grant, at our discretion.
## **Public Benefit**
We develop strategic plans to make certain that we provide maximum public benefit and achieve our strategic objectives, which fall under purposes defined by the Charity Act 2006.
## **Message from The Chair**
I want to start by thanking our donors, volunteers, trustees and beneficiaries for helping the Qamar Trust realize a dream. Whilst I have the privilege of taking up the chairpersonship, the privilege of service afforded to me is far loftier.
When the charity was formed in late 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, I had never imagined the level of support and success we would be blessed with during the very first year. I am honored to be part of a team that is able to help so many across the world.
The backdrop against which we set about on our mission could not have been more challenging. The global pandemic has changed our world in a manner never seen before and the logistical challenges facing those trying to deliver aid have been exacerbated worldwide.
Given the nature of the challenges we have faced, the success of our campaigns has been both delightful and surreal. Seeing the suffering of people first hand has inspired the team and our donors to spread our efforts across an increasing number of countries and territories.
As I look back over this extraordinary year, I am sure that our efforts will be enhanced by our success. I ask Allah to bless us with greater desire and sincerity to serve humankind wheresoever there is a need to do so.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 01 OCT 2020 TO 30 SEP 2021 TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report on the accounts for the period 01[st] October 2020 to 30[th] September 2021 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 weather 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;
or
- (2) To which. In my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
