RANDER SUNNI VOHRA UNITED KINGDOM TRUSTEES’ REPORT For the period 9 January 2024 to 30 April 2025

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ended 30 April 2025.

Governing document

Rander Sunni Vohra is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the charity commission in 9[th] January 2024 under charity number 1206456. It is governed by a deed of trust.

Organisational Structure

The charity was previously operating under the banner of Rander Sunni Vohra Panchayat UK (RSVPUK) and was established to support a specific community originating from Rander. However, Rander Sunni Vohra UK (RSVUK) was later established with broader charitable objectives, which differed from the original aims of RSVPUK. As the scope of activities expanded, a separate charity was formed to support a wider audience from diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

RSVUK has broader charitable objectives, including supporting the establishment of hospitals, housing initiatives, and providing financial and educational assistance to individuals and communities in India, Pakistan, Burma, and the United Kingdom .

RSVUK was separated from RSVPUK and, as part of this transition, funds previously raised for these wider charitable purposes were transferred to the newly established RSVUK charity.

The charity trustees are responsible for the overall control and management of the charity. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or financial benefits for their role.

The trustees meet on an ad-hoc basis as a governing body and are responsible for making decisions relating to the operation and activities of the charity. To support the effective running of the organisation, the trustees have established several sub-committees to oversee specific areas of the charity’s work.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The existing trustees of the charity are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees but in doing so the trustees seek the views and recommendation of both elders and community members. The trustees believe this approach ensures that new trustees are respected members of the faith and community and ensures that good relations are fostered between the charity and the community it serves

In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who actively participate in charity events, funds raising events, organisational skills and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader charitable work and well respected in the community. This allows due consideration of the person’s eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge and skills

Communication to its members

The charity’s aim is to keep its members informed and the way it does this is using modern technology. The charity runs two website and has group communication accounts where all members are kept informed of the latest events, news and incidents. In addition to the Charity website there is also What’s App group to communicate with its members

Charitable events

Annual Bazaar is also held to enable the community to come together and present their natural talents in different areas, i.e. cake competition, canvas painting, henna painting, tuck shop, food stall etc...

Achievement Awards

In developing our community, we also award the young achievers in their field of interest. This is source of encouragement for them to be recognised in their community. We award youngster who have either achieved something in their life. This includes graduation in with a degree, post-graduation, contribution to community, religious education and national awards achievers.

Lifetime Achievement

The charity organises special award for individual involved in the furtherance of charity’s aim and objectives. The charity recognises that its assets are its people and without their contributions and struggle the charity will not progress in achieving its goals. Therefore, the charity has set up committee to nominate and award individual.

Financial information and future developments

Principal funding sources

The charity main source of income is its member’s donation and does not rely on or receive any government funding. Funding is also raised through door-to-door collection of charity members annually, especially during Ramadhan.

Investment policy and objectives

The charity has no investment in properties, stocks or shares. Income from donations via gift aid are used in community charity events to raise funds. Our cash reserves are held in bank accounts. The interest earned is considered by the trustees as an income that cannot be used in the furtherance of charity goals and is therefore given to either non- Muslims or poor who are exempt from receiving interest.

Report of the trustees for the period ended 30 April 2025 (continued)

Plans for the future periods

The charity was set up due increased activities. This charity has taken over the running and supporting Hospital project in Rander (India) and other projects in UK, Burma and Pakistan. The existing charity will ensure the youngsters in this country get adequate support and are fully integrated into the community. This includes financial assistance towards education and other charitable activity.

Reserves policy

The Society does not have direct operating costs. The Board therefore feel they do not need to set aside a fixed amount from Unrestricted Reserves for this. Furthermore, the trustees review risks on an ongoing basis and satisfy themselves that adequate systems and procedures are in place to manage the identified risks. Where appropriate, risks are covered by insurance.

Accounting and reporting responsibilities

The Charities Act 1993 requires the Governors as the trustees of the Charity to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.

In preparing the financial statements the Governors should follow best practice and

• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• follow applicable law and United Kingdom standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which are such as to disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Charity at any time, and to enable them as trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with charity law. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the Charity’s assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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