## **Message from the chair of the board of Trustees** 

Hamza Ahmed 

Asalamualaikum/ peace be unto you. 

Mission Relief’s first full accounting year has been nothing short of phenomenal. And a major part of that is our donors. So, I would like to start by congratulating each donor for making such a huge impact on the lives on many individuals and families who were desperate for help and support. I would also like to thank all those who have contributed in other ways such as volunteering, giving up their time and making an effort to make a world of difference. Most importantly, we thank God for giving us the opportunity, the drive, and ability to contribute to such a noble and rewarding cause. 

It has been another eventful and impactful year. From last year’s inception in 2022, where the public’s generosity inspired a charity to form and carry out essential projects in Kenya, to this year, 2023, where we have managed to not only up our work in Kenya and help more people there, but also aid earthquake victims in both Turkey and Morocco. Our focus on transparency and accountability remains steadfast, ensuring that your contributions have a meaningful impact on those we serve. 

I wish each and every donor & contributor could see and feel the impact their contributions have made. Because only then will you realise how valuable and extraordinary your contributions are. Our work is making a difference and impacting many lives. But we aim and aspire to do so much more. Our aim is not just to meet immediate needs, but to create lasting change together. We strive to: 

Relieve Suffering: We are dedicated to providing immediate relief to those affected by disasters, poverty, and hardship. With your support, we can, not only offer shelter, food, and medical aid to those who need it most but to also create ongoing sustenance projects where people can help themselves. 

Empower Communities: Our goal is not just to give a handout but to offer a hand up. We work to empower communities through education, skill development, and sustainable development projects. We believe in equipping people with the tools to build a better future. 

Inspire Compassion: We aim to inspire compassion, not just in our donors but in everyone we touch. Through our efforts, we hope to encourage a world where people come together to help one another, regardless of borders or boundaries. 

Create a Better Tomorrow: Our long-term vision is to create a world where suffering is minimised, where people are lifted out of poverty, and where every individual has the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and purpose. 

This year has brought both challenges and triumphs, and together we have faced them with resilience and determination. We remain committed to our mission and as we look to the future, we are determined to take another leap towards or aims and objectives. With your continued partnership, support and dedication, we are excited to explore new possibilities and expand our impact. 

I extend my sincere gratitude to each of you for your steadfast commitment, generous contributions, time, efforts, and trust in our Mission. 

With gratitude and warm regards, 


Chairman of the board

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Who are we?** 

Mission Relief are a UK registered charity focused on alleviating the suffering and saving lives across the globe. We are dedicated to tackling the root cause of poverty and providing immediately relief to those most in need. 

## **Our Aims & Objectives:** 

(A) The prevention or relief of poverty anywhere in the world by providing grants, essential items and services to individuals in need and charitable organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty, as well as providing support to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self-sufficient.

(C) To advance the education of persons in need, especially orphans and poverty-stricken individuals, anywhere in the world by the provision of financial aid and materials including but not limited to books, furniture, stationery and clothing and also through the construction of schools, colleges, training centres, orphanages, and universities. 

(D) To advance the wellbeing of communities by carrying out the above as well as raising awareness, building community hubs and tackling inequalities. 

## **Organisation structure, governance and management** 

Mission Relief’s board of trustees carefully plan and prepare the ongoing and future targets and objectives of the charity, focusing on the strategy, planning, governance and evaluate the progress and effectiveness of their work. A key part of their role includes ensuring the charity satisfy both the regulatory requirements and the requirements of its stakeholders. The trustees along with the board partake in both the fundraising and delivery aspects of the charity. 

Mission Relief is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Mission Relief was constituted upon the foundation model of a CIO in March 2022. 

The trustees are chosen because of their commitment, experience, skills, knowledge and drive that are essential to meet the challenges of the role. 

Mission relief’s Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting, for membership of the executive committee and serve until the end of the next annual general meeting, where they can stand for re-election as members of the new executive committee. 

As well as the Trustees, Mission Reliefs board of volunteers are elected and dismissed by the committee. The board of volunteers are accountable to the Trustees. 

The committee is formed of the Trustees and 3 other board members. All of our members are volunteers and do not receive a salary or any forms of payment.

## **What We Do and How We’ve Performed** 

Mission Relief carries out a range of activities to deliver public benefit in accordance with the charity’s objectives. The main activities carried out by Mission Relief in the reporting period in question are: 

1. **Clean water projects** : The distribution and maintenance of clean water to areas that suffer from drought and communities that have no access to clean water or where access is difficult. This is done through means such as Water trucks, tankers and water storage containers. 

   - Your donations have allowed Mission Relief to delivered over 1 Million Liters of clean water, distributed in Kenya, in areas where clean water is difficult to access. Many of these communities access water that is rife with dirt and disease and is usually a murky brown to green colour. 

2. **Water Wells / Boreholes** : The building and maintenance of water wells/ boreholes in communities that suffer from drought or lack of access to clean water. Water wells provide a more sustainable solution than that of water tanks and storage containers, but is only possible in areas where water can be accessed through the ground. 

   - This year, on behalf of our donors, Mission Relief have managed to construct 12 Water Wells in Kenya, in villages and areas that suffer from drought and have no nearby clean water facilities, serving around 18 thousand people. 

3. **Food parcels** : Our generous food parcels contain many essential foodstuff and items to serve people in poverty-stricken communities. Each food parcel usually lasts an average sized family a month. 

   - Here at mission Relief, we believe when we give, we should do so generously and proper. So, our food parcels are large, heavy, good quality and contain a variety of foods. These food parcels have been a lifeline for many. Mission Relief have provided over 600 food parcels which include staple foods to last a month, in some very rural, remote and poor areas across Kenya where both food and water is in short supply. This has benefited over 3000 lives. This has in turn provided some relief and ease to those suffering from drought and poverty. 

4. **Period Poverty** : A taboo within many communities. Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, hygiene facilities, and education about menstruation. This issue affects those from low-income backgrounds or marginalized communities, affects health, education, work and life choices. 

   - Mission relief have provided 250 women’s hygiene packs and have delivered many education sessions to communities to help tackle the stigma attached. 

5. **Orphan Support** : Supporting orphanages and orphans in Kenya where poverty is rife. 

   - Being an orphan is hard enough. Being an orphan in a 3[rd] world country where many people are in poverty is an impossible challenge. However, with your generous donations we have managed to financially provide for 166 monthly orphan sponsorships in Kenya. This support covers food, shelter, medical fees, educational fees, clothes, books and stationery. Your donations have given these children a lifeline. 

6. **Community buildings** : Construction of community centres / mosques. 

   - In many places around the world, a mosque is the heart of the community. A place where people gather and foster relationships. Where support, education and hope is provided and nurtured. Mission Relief have been able to construct it’s first Mosque for our donors, and we hope, like all our projects, there is plenty more to come. 



6 

7. **Zakaat** : Financial support for those in need. A pillar of the Islamic faith. 

   - With your Zakaat donations, Mission relief have been able to provide over 600 poverty-stricken families with financial support, giving them some relief and respite from their difficulties, whilst raising communities. 

8. **Orphan Feeding Programme** : Providing orphanages with nutritious hot meals in Kenya. 

   - According to UNICEF there are approximately 3.6 million children in Kenya who are orphaned or vulnerable Many orphanages struggle with the basic necessities. They get by with whatever little they get from the community. This often includes very little support and basic food, horrendous living conditions and difficulty accessing education. With your donations, Mission Relief have been able to deliver over 5500 hot meals to vulnerable orphans at orphanages. The feeding programme is not just about providing a meal, but about nurturing the orphans with educational sessions and fun group activities. 

9. **Community and street feeding** : Hot meals in poor communities. 

   - Like the Orphan feeding programme, your donations have fed and opened the fasts of people in poor communities during the month of Ramadan. Also, families and individuals, sleeping in the streets have benefited from your donations in the form of hot nutritious meals. 

10. **Qurbani / Udhiya** : Sacrificial slaughter of an animal during Eid Ul-Adha. Another important act of worship in the Islamic faith. 

   - Mission Relief were able to facilitate qurbani on behalf of it’s donors. For many of the 660 families, your qurbani provided them with meat for the first time in the year. 

11. **UK Food bank** : Providing food to food banks in the UK. 

   - During a time where many people are struggling financially across the globe, so much so that some of our own people in the UK are struggling to afford regular meals for their families, Mission Relief teamed up with local businesses and food banks to provide foodstuff & meals to those in need. 

12. **Emergency Disaster appeals** : Responding to Emergency disasters Namely Turkey and Morocco earthquakes. 

   - Mission Relief conducted its first emergency disaster appeal during the Turkey earthquake. Due to your generosity, we were quick to respond to both disasters, providing approximately 80k worth of hot food meals, food packs, shelter in the form of tents, mattresses and blankets to earthquake victims.

## **Financial Review** 

## **Trustee’s Review** 

Mission Relief’s Trustees have observed and selected the suitable accounting policies in line with the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102) 

Mission Relief’s Trustees have reviewed the financial performance of the charity in the current year and are satisfied with its findings. No material uncertainties have been found that would question the charity's ability to continue operating as a going concern. 

## **Income** 

Mission Relief’s main sources of income are from public donations. We are accessible to the public via website and Crowd funding platforms. Mission Relief aims to continue to be accessible to the public in various ways. 

The **total income of £287,624** _**(£244,231**_ of donations for aid from members of the public) were recorded for 2023. This is growth of approximately 400%. Given that last year’s figures were for a partial year as the charity had been established in March 2022, this figure is not comparable, but is still a significant achievement. 

## **Expenditure** 

Mission Relief aims to keep expenditure as streamlined as possible. Expenses have been measured and calculated by trustees to ensure that it represents economic benefit and are of a legal or constructive nature. Expenditure has enabled Mission Relief to operate as a growing, accessible and active charity that is of public benefit and in turn, has helped us to achieve our objectives of impacting the lives of beneficiaries. The funds utilized have also allowed us to increase donations, streamline our delivery process adding value for money, and has made many members of the public aware of the work we do. 

The total expenditure resulted in an increased output of aid, delivery programmes and services, at a **total Restricted Fund cost of £243,882** ( _622% increase_ ) and **operating costs (Unrestricted Funds) of £12,190** ( _44% increase_ ). 

With both income and expenditure in mind, the trustees deem this year to be a success, and puts Mission Relief in a positive position moving forward. 

## **Mission Relief’s Reserve Policy & Risk assessment** 

Mission Relief’s reserve policy states that the charity will not unnecessarily hold money in reserve where possible. The charity aims to maximise the use of both restricted and unrestricted funds at the appropriate times. Reserve funds have been held to ensure that the charity can continue to provide a stable and quality service to those who need them, even during the event of any income shortfall. 

The current reserve funds have arisen from ongoing operations and are in line with the policy. Current reserve funds will enable Mission Relief to continue its ongoing work and meet it’s objectives. 

No project funds are in deficit. 

As Mission Relief is a public benefit organisation the trustees acknowledge their responsibility to identify, assess and manage risks within the charity and hold value this process due to the direct link to the achievement of the charity’s objectives. 



9 

Mission Relief only spend funds that it has acquired. This ensures that funds do not fall into deficit. 

Risk identification is carried out by the trustees and it’s members using various tools and methods. The team regularly discuss risks including identifying risk, impact analysis, risk evaluation and risk management. This extends to the processes and procedures where necessary. The trustees at Mission Relief have reviewed and assessed the risks involved with the running of the charity and have established control systems to manage those risks.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

**Mission Relief Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Mission Relief** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Mission Relief for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of IFA. 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
