## **Message from CEO** 

As we reflect on 2024, I am deeply grateful for the continued generosity and compassion of our donors, volunteers, and supporters. The year marked significant progress for Al Ansar Humanity Foundation — a year of growth, expanded impact, and strengthened commitment to serving humanity. 

Through your support, we were able to deliver vital aid across Pakistan, including food distributions, water and sanitation projects, education sponsorships, medical assistance, livelihood support, and for the first time, Zakat-funded initiatives that reached the most vulnerable families. Each of these efforts reflects our shared belief that compassion and service can transform lives. 

Despite ongoing economic challenges, our foundation maintained its transparency, accountability, and dedication to ensuring that every donation directly benefits those in need. We also introduced stronger governance measures and professional oversight to prepare for future sustainability. 

As we look to 2025, we remain steadfast in our mission — to expand our reach, empower local communities, and continue to bring hope where it is needed most. 

To all our donors and volunteers — thank you for standing with us. Together, we are changing lives. 


**Muhammad Rahail Arshad Ansari** _CEO,_ Al Ansar Humanity Foundation

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation has its operational base in the UK, where all fundraising activities are carried out. The foundation implements its charitable projects directly in Pakistan through trusted local teams and volunteers. By working with people on the ground who understand the local culture, sensitivities, and needs, the foundation ensures that all projects are delivered effectively and respectfully to the communities we serve. 

## **Board of Trustees** 

The Board of Trustees directs and oversees the charity. Its responsibilities include setting the strategic direction, ensuring strong governance, and defining priorities and objectives. The Board monitors the performance of the foundation, reviews progress in alleviating poverty and hardship, and approves new policies and procedures as needed. It also appraises and supports the Management Team and, when necessary, makes appointments or dismissals. The Board works closely with key stakeholders to ensure that Al Ansar Humanity Foundation fulfils its charitable aims while fully meeting all regulatory requirements. 

## **Recruiting and appointing trustees** 

All members of the Board of Trustees are volunteers, selected for their diverse skills, knowledge, and experience. Trustees may be nominated by existing partners and stakeholders, or they may be personally approached and invited to join the Board. This process ensures that the foundation has the right expertise to respond to challenges and opportunities effectively. 

## **Key personnel** 

The CEO is accountable to the Board of Trustees and, alongside senior team members, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the charity. The CEO chairs the Management Team, ensuring that the strategies and policies set by the Board are implemented in practice. The Management Team also supports the work of staff and volunteers, ensuring smooth delivery of charitable projects. A full list of trustees is available in the corporate directory. 

## **Governing document** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation is a registered charity in the UK. The charity is governed by its constitution, which sets out the aims, objectives, and management framework within which the organisation operates. 

## **Risk of Governance** 

To ensure the continued success and sustainability of the charity, the Board of Trustees regularly reviews governance practices, policies, and procedures. This oversight reduces risks, strengthens accountability, and ensures that the organisation continues to operate to the highest standards of transparency and effectiveness.. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The trustees of Al Ansar Humanity Foundation are responsible for preparing the Annual Report. This includes the trustees' reports and financial statements, prepared in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires our trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, and they must not approve them unless satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial position, its resources, and the application of those resources including income and expenditure during the period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

**6 |** P a g e 



Zoho Sign Document ID: 4AE6E8092-YIFWHSYVB-XCVT_P4MNL06JEZHKME4VXYLMBPKGINWY 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities. 

The trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records that accurately reflect the financial position of the charity and ensure that the statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are further responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets and taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Volunteers** 

Our volunteers are the backbone of Al Ansar Humanity Foundation. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment are invaluable in helping us deliver our mission. Throughout 2024, our volunteers in the UK and Pakistan provided crucial support in fundraising, awareness campaigns, and direct project delivery. Without their tireless efforts, much of our work would not be possible. 

## **Fundraising structure** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation raises funds primarily through community donations, word of mouth, and social media engagement. These channels have enabled us to reach a wider network of supporters across the UK and strengthen connections with both existing and new donors. Our fundraising activities are closely monitored by the Management Team, and progress reports are regularly presented to the Board of Trustees. 

## **Fundraising** 

Our fundraising approach includes a combination of methods, such as: 

- Community donations 

- Volunteer-led fundraising initiatives 

- Social media campaigns 

In 2024, all fundraising was carried out by our own team of volunteers and staff. We did not use external fundraising agencies or third parties. 

## **Funding Continuation** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation does not have a fixed income stream and relies entirely on the generosity of public donations and support from charitable partners. We only initiate projects when the required funds are available to cover all associated costs. To ensure continuity and reduce the risk of disruption in times of fluctuating donations, we have also set aside limited reserves as a safeguard. 

## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation is committed to providing humanitarian aid and relief to those in need. Our work is focused in Pakistan, where many communities face hardship due to poverty, lack of access to basic necessities, and at times, natural or environmental challenges. Operating in such environments naturally gives rise to risks and uncertainties. These are managed through our growing experience, supported by robust systems, careful oversight, and the commitment of our trustees, staff, and volunteers. 

Senior management and trustees regularly review organisational risks, develop mitigation strategies, and ensure their implementation. 

## **Safeguarding** 

Al Ansar Humanity Foundation is dedicated to supporting vulnerable families, children, and communities in a way that empowers and protects them. Safeguarding remains a priority, ensuring that beneficiaries are supported in a safe, respectful, and dignified manner. The Chair of Trustees oversees safeguarding practices, while responsibility at operational level rests with designated leads who ensure appropriate standards are maintained. 

## **Cybercrime** 

The risk of cybercrime is an increasing challenge for all organisations, including charities. We continue to take steps to strengthen our digital resilience, improve data protection, and follow GDPR principles. We are committed to keeping donor, beneficiary, and organisational information secure at all times.

## **Achievement and Performance** 

## **Review of financial performance** 

In 2024, Al Ansar Humanity Foundation achieved significant growth, with total income increasing to £7,371 compared to £5,231 in 2023. This enabled us to expand our aid programmes, including new Zakat-based projects. Over 2024, we provided food support to struggling families, extended access to clean water, sponsored students’ education, offered medical care, and helped families with livelihood and welfare assistance. 

## **Review of development activities** 

The trustees are satisfied with the continued progress of the charity. Since its establishment, Al Ansar Humanity Foundation has focused on alleviating poverty by providing food, clean water, education, and medical support. Looking ahead, we aim to strengthen our fundraising, develop sustainable initiatives, and expand our capacity to respond quickly to urgent needs and emergencies. 

## **Public Benefit** 

Our trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning our activities and objectives. The projects we deliver in Pakistan are designed to ensure the maximum possible benefit to disadvantaged communities by addressing immediate needs while also supporting long-term wellbeing. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total income during 2024 was £7,371, and total expenditure amounted to £6,282, resulting in a net income of £1,089. At year-end, total funds carried forward were £1,253 (Unrestricted £795, Restricted £458). The charity maintained a balance of £2,153 at the bank and introduced a new governance provision of £900 to strengthen compliance and transparency. 

Unspent funds are carried forward to the next financial period to ensure the continuity of projects. Where a project required additional funds, these were drawn from general donations. 

Details of all charitable income and expenditure are mentioned in accounts. The difference in amount received and not spent is carried forward to the next period and any deficiency in funds for specific projects were taken out from General Donations fund. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Our beneficiaries are some of the most vulnerable communities in Pakistan, many of whom rely on our support regularly. Any disruption to our projects could significantly impact their lives. Trustees therefore recognise the importance of holding reserves to ensure continuity during times of financial uncertainty. 

As a developing charity managed by trustees and volunteers, Al Ansar Humanity Foundation maintains minimal operational expenses, with the aim that most of donations go directly towards charitable projects. This reserves policy is reviewed annually by the trustees at the Annual Trust meeting, where the Chairman presents recommendations for approval. 

## **IT & Data Storage** 

All financial records are maintained digitally. To ensure data security, regular backups are taken and stored securely. The possibility of cloud-based backup systems is being assessed to strengthen data protection and resilience. 

## **Going concern** 

Based on our financial performance and reserves position, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that Al Ansar Humanity Foundation will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on this basis. 

This Trustees' Annual Report, prepared under the Companies Act 2006, was approved by the Board of Trustees on 16th August 2024 including approving in their capacity as Directors, the Trustees' Report and Director’s Report contained therein, and is signed as authorised on its behalf by: 

............................................. Mr Muhammad Rahail Arshad Ansari Trustee/ CEO 22[nd] October 2025
