The trustees convene as a collective upon communication via phone calls, text, or WhatsApp messages, making collective decisions regarding the charity's operations. - **Recruitment of Trustees:** The appointment of new trustees follows a nomination from an existing trustee and requires a majority resolution passed during a properly convened trustee meeting to determine the term of the said trustee. ## **Activities and Objectives during the Reporting Period** - **Activities:** - Financial Relief in Sri Lanka: Swift response to Sri Lanka's economic crisis, providing vital aid to alleviate its impact on vulnerable individuals and families. - Udhiyya Qurbani in Sri Lanka: Facilitated sacrificial offerings to ensure disadvantaged community members' meaningful participation during this religious observance. - Zanzibar Water Well Project: Successfully collaborated with AMC Trust to provide sustainable access to clean water in Zanzibar communities. - Empowering Zanzibar Orphans: Organized tailored lunch events to enhance the wellbeing and sense of community for orphans in Zanzibar. - Aid for Pakistan Flood Victims: Collaborated with the UK Islamic Mission to provide aid to flood victims in Pakistan, supporting their recovery and rebuilding process. - Community Book Release Fundraiser for Zanzibar Orphans: Participated in a community event to raise funds for supporting orphans in Zanzibar. - Weekly Friday Fundraising Drives (Jum’ah): Regular fundraising drives aligning with Jum’ah prayers to gather financial support for our charitable causes. - Digital Fundraising Campaigns: Utilized social media and crowdfunding for targeted fundraising campaigns, engaging a broader audience for contributions. - **Objectives:** - Throughout the reporting period, our charity remained resolute in its commitment to alleviating financial hardship experienced by underprivileged communities, with a particular emphasis on impoverished individuals, orphans, widows, and other vulnerable groups. Our efforts were directed towards fulfilling these objectives through the implementation of a diverse array of projects and initiatives designed to uplift and enhance the well-being of those in need. ## **Achievements and Performance** - **Achievements:** Throughout the year, we responded promptly to critical situations, including economic crises, ensuring essential aid reached those in need.

Our agility in responding to crises underscored our dedication, and successful collaborations, like the water well project, showcased effective partnership for the greater good. Our overall performance reflects the substantial positive impact on the lives of the less privileged, reinforcing our steadfast commitment to our noble objectives. ## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** As charity trustees, we recognize our duty to prepare the annual report and financial statements in line with legal and accounting standards. This involves selecting appropriate accounting policies, ensuring consistency, and making prudent judgments. We are committed to compliance with relevant accounting standards and adopting a going concern basis.
