Further to the pivot towards the FLEX programme described below we have developed new Objects for the CIO.

Achievements and Perfomiance UKUAT helped to advise thousands of refugees. We registered, moved and settled the most vulnerable refugees, away from the grave dangers of war and into the safety of the UK. Several hundred refugees were found host families, issued with visas we applied for, supported to travel to the UK and assisted to become established into the UK. UKUAT ensured that this entire process was done through primarily private donations at almost zero cost to the British tax payer. UKUAT continued to support Ukrainian refugees who we have helped to resettle in the UK through: Micro finance We provided grants and zero interest loans to enable newly arrived families to obtain transport, to enable them to start work and build an independent self standing life in the UK. UKUATogether developed a full range of reSoUrS to support Refugees and Hosts during this phase. These resource are on our website and are available in English and Ukrainian. Resources include: A webinar on 'what to expect when you are expecting, Refugees A Welcome Pack Support resource to opening bank accounts Support Material on how UKUAT can help with Microfinancing Material on how to register for Benefits .and much more. In this financial year we have continued to evaluate and assess a pivot towards contributing to the building of a democratic, free future for Ukraine with our FLEX Programme focused on children of families choosing to stay in Ukraine. The goal of the FLEX Programme is to strengthen the bond between Ukraine and the UK through intense two week leadership programmes that run in London annually. These programmes target "high potential" Ukrainian teenagers who have experienced the atrocities of the Russian-ukrainian conflict and who want to be part of building Ukraine into a democratic, modern country of the future. FLEX focuses on developing leadership skills, resilien, respite, and building connections together with education and cultural immersion. Participants are presented by the Kyiv Regional Govemment and selected by UKUATogether. We look for Teenagers who want to ex1 in their future fields (be it in Govemment, Art, Music, Academic and much more) and maintain strong connections with Britain. In parallel we have identified and work with UK schools to fulfill our objectives of "education. and "exchange.. The teenagers are hosted in UK schools, and with their pupils, families. The UK schools are a core part of the programme, and all have stated the power and benefit to the UK pupils of the time spent with the Ukrainian pupils.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 the 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 In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
