MAMOU AID FOUNDATION UK (CHARITY NO: 1204191 ENGLAND AND WALES) TRUSTEES' REPORT

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Principal activity

The objects of the charity are to develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged refugee and asylum seekers community in the uk in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.

The term ‘developing the capacity and skills’ means providing opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers to learn through experience, opportunities that would not otherwise be available to them, and involving them in collective efforts so that they gain confidence in their own abilities and their ability to influence decisions that affect them “to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.

For the purpose of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically deprived community.” nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the cio for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance with [section 7 of the charities and trustee investment (scotland) act 2005] and [section 2 of the charities act (northern ireland) 2008].

Trustees

The following Trustees held office during the whole of the period:

Alpha Oumar Diallo Thierno Macka Diallo Aminata Diallo Hawa Assy Sow

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under Charity law 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 profit or loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Small Company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
