KHAN FOUNDATION BANGLADESH

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

Ramadan / Eid-ul-Fitr (March/April 2024):

During the month of Ramadan and Eid a total of 1,809 food packs were distributed across various locations in Sylhet, with priority given to individuals and families in extreme poverty. The food pack contained essential items which allowed the recipients to be self-sufficient for a period of time. The food pack campaign was a great achievement. Furthermore, a total of 2,210 families received financial payments which helped them pay for essential medical, educational and personal costs. 1 sewing machine were donated to a family which not only will help the recipients gain a valuable skill but give them an opportunity to create a sustainable income. Khan Foundation continued its great work with providing clean and safe water for families who live in deprived areas by donating 7 tube wells. The installation of the tube wells will ensure the families have easy access to clean and safe water, a fundamental right to all human beings.

Eid-ul-Adha 2[nd] Eid (June 2024):

Khan Foundation raised a total of £1,485 which helped in distributing a total of 742 food packs to families in need across various locations in Sylhet. This was a real achievement considering the funds raised which were all donations and supporters of the charity.

Winter Season:

A total of £1887 was raised during the winter season of January of 2024 and December of 2024 which helped distribute 754 blankets to individuals and families who would have struggled otherwise during the cold winter season.

Ambulance project:

Khan Foundation Bangladesh has its set objective of running an Ambulance service which provides free transportation services for the needy people free of charge. This is the first for any charity in Sylhet to provide this free service. This is a complete free of charge service which is available to anyone within the Sylhet district of Bangladesh.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.

The charity’s performance during this period has made a meaningful difference to beneficiaries by providing essential food, clean water, and winter relief to many vulnerable families, reducing immediate hardship. In addition, long-term support such as education sponsorships, sewing machines for income generation, and the facilitation of ambulance service have empowered individuals and families to build more secure and sustainable futures.

KHAN FOUNDATION BANGLADESH

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024

The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.

The achievements during the period have had a significant positive impact on wider society by addressing immediate needs such as food security, warmth in winter, and access to clean water, while also supporting long-term benefits through education, income generation, and free healthcare transport service. These initiatives not only alleviated hardship for thousands of vulnerable families but also strengthened community resilience and wellbeing.

Financial review

The charity's financial position at the end of the year ended 31 December 2024

The financial position of the charity at 31 December 2024 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows: -

	2024	2024
	£	£
Net income	565.71	-

Unrestricted Revenue Funds available for the

565.71 general purposes of the

charity

Total Funds	565.71 -	565.71 -

Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 December 2024.

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory.

Policies on reserves.

Due to the nature and the set-up of Khan Foundation, the charity does not have reserve funds as all funds raised are immediately distributed with no fixed overheads or long-term projects that require financial commitments. Should a situation arise whereby there is a financial expenditure and there is no funding then this has been covered by trustees. Moving forward, the Trustees will explore the benefits of holding a reserve as it could enable the charity to stagger the delivery of projects, making it slightly more sustainable. There are no funds held by Khan Foundation which are materially in deficit.

Going Concern

There is no immediate financial concern for the charity as things stand, however there is always the risk, as for any charity, that the level of donations reducing due the current and forecasted financial climate. This is more of a high risk for Khan Foundation Bangladesh as we currently rely 100% on donations.

In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:

to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

KHAN FOUNDATION BANGLADESH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Going Concern

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2025 , the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from nonexchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

KHAN FOUNDATION BANGLADESH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Allocating costs to activities

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is:

Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.

Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of people employed within any particular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.

Non-specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures

Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Fixed Asset Investments

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds, investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date at the end of the financial period. Investment properties are not depreciated.

Fixed asset investments in unlisted equities are shown at the balance sheet date at the best estimate of their market value, where practicable. Where valuation techniques are considered unreliable or where, in the opinion of the trustees, the costs outweigh the benefits to the users of the accounts, the investment is included at cost, and a review is undertaken at each year end as to whether the asset should be written down.

All gains on fixed asset investments, whether realised or unrealised, are included in row B4 of the

Statement of Financial Activities.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

KHAN FOUNDATION BANGLADESH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

Financial instruments, such as cash reserves, donations held in bank accounts, are vital to the charity’s stability and ability to deliver its objectives. They ensure liquidity for day-to-day operations, provide security for future projects, and allow the charity to respond quickly to urgent community needs. Proper management of these instruments underpins accountability, safeguards donor trust, and strengthens the charity’s long-term financial resilience.

No employees received emoluments (excluding pension costs) in excess of £60,000 per annum. 5

Remuneration and payments to Trustees and persons connected with them

No trustees or persons connected with them received any remuneration from the charity, or any related entity.
