TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 July 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".
Objectives and activities
The charity exists to further general charitable purposes for the public benefit, as determined by the trustees in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning and carrying out the charity’s activities. The charity’s work during the period was directed towards building and applying its resources in a way intended to support long term charitable impact.
Activities
The period ended 31 July 2025 was a shortened reporting period, following the trustees’ decision to change the charity’s year end. This was done to align the charity’s reporting cycle with the charity’s anticipated future reporting structure.
During the period, the charity continued to manage its income generating property portfolio with a view to generating sustainable income to support its charitable purposes. The charity also began direct charitable activity through grants to charities delivering education support, while continuing to strengthen its operational and financial foundations.
Volunteers
The charity continued to benefit from volunteer support during the period, particularly in relation to financial administration and general operational support. The trustees are grateful for this contribution, which has helped the charity operate efficiently.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
Property Acquisition and Income Generation
The charity continued to hold and manage a portfolio of income generating properties during the period. Rental income for the period amounted to £44,099 (2024: £54,468). Occupancy became more stable during the shortened period, with minimal void periods, and rental income for the seven months to 31 July 2025 was close to the level achieved during the whole of the charity’s first financial year. The trustees view this as encouraging evidence of improving asset performance and will continue to monitor rental performance as the portfolio stabilises.
Charitable Activity
During the period, the charity made grants totalling £4,649 (2024: £NIL) to charities delivering education support. This represented the first direct charitable disbursements of the charity and marked an important step in applying the income generated by the charity’s assets towards its charitable objects. The trustees also continued to consider future charitable support as part of the year end planning process.
Managing Operations
The trustees continued to oversee the practical management of the charity’s assets and operations, including tenant matters, property costs, compliance and financial administration.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Performance Measurement
The trustees assess performance by reference to:
-
the stability and performance of the property portfolio
-
the level of rental income generated
-
the charity’s ability to meet its obligations and maintain adequate liquidity
-
the development of direct charitable activity in line with the charity’s objects
Reflections and Learning
The period has highlighted the importance of maintaining close oversight of property performance, liquidity and the timing of charitable expenditure. The trustees continue to refine the charity’s approach in these areas as the charity develops.
Financial review
Income and Expenditure
For the period ended 31 July 2025, the charity recorded total incoming resources of £47,062 (2024: £955,928) and net surplus of £31,839 (2024: £906,366).
Income was derived principally from donations, including donations in kind, of £1,666 (2024: £899,886) and investment income of £44,099 (2024: £54,717).
Total expenditure for the period was £15,223 (2024: £49,562), comprising charitable expenditure of £5,899 (2024: £27,634) and property related expenditure of £9.324 (2024: £21,928).
Cash and Reserves
At 31 July 2025, the charity held cash at bank and in hand of £2,452,067 (2024: £1,606,833). The trustees continue to review the charity’s liquidity position having regard to its activities, commitments and risk profile.
Assets and Liabilities
At 31 July 2025, the charity’s investment properties were stated at £1,606,544 (2024: £1,172,947). Total net assets at the reporting date were £938,205 (2024: £906,366).
The charity’s principal liability at the reporting date was an unsecured interest free loan of £3,100,000 (2024: £2,300,000), together with other routine liabilities arising in the normal course of operations.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain a prudent level of unrestricted reserves, taking into account the charity’s property related risks, financing obligations, working capital needs and planned charitable activities. This includes maintaining a suitable buffer for repairs, void periods and timing differences between income and expenditure.
At 31 July 2025, unrestricted funds amounted to £938,205 (2024: £906,366). The trustees consider this position to be under review in light of the charity’s current scale and future plans. In particular, the trustees will consider whether part of the charity’s accumulated funds should be deployed towards a larger yielding and more locally managed investment, while still maintaining prudent liquidity.

BUZRA FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Major risks
The trustees recognise that the charity’s principal risks relate to:
-
property related costs and asset performance
-
tenant arrears, vacancies and operational issues
-
liquidity and financing obligations
-
governance and operational capacity
The trustees monitor these risks regularly and seek to manage them through close oversight, prudent financial management, ongoing review of the charity’s systems and controls, and maintaining an appropriate financial buffer.
Plans for future periods
Consolidation and Asset Optimisation
The charity intends to continue managing its existing assets carefully, with a focus on stable income generation, prudent cost control and protection of long term value. The trustees also intend to review the charity’s investment policy and strategy in light of experience to date. In particular, they will consider whether the current spread of properties remains the most effective approach, or whether a more concentrated and locally managed investment approach may better support the charity’s long term objectives.
Charitable Giving
The trustees intend to continue developing the charity’s direct charitable activity through grants to charities delivering education support, together with other charitable giving in line with available resources and the charity’s objects.
Financial Strategy and Resilience
The trustees intend to maintain a prudent approach to liquidity and financial risk, particularly in light of property related costs, tenant matters and financing obligations. At the same time, the trustees will keep under review how accumulated funds can best be deployed to support stronger long term returns and future charitable impact.
Lean, Responsive Governance
The trustees will continue to review the charity’s governance arrangements to ensure they remain proportionate and effective as the charity’s activities expand. After the reporting date, the charity acquired a trading subsidiary. The trustees will therefore continue to review the charity’s reporting structure and oversight arrangements in light of that development.
Structure, governance and management
Buzra Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 30 January 2024. It is governed by its constitution adopted at the time of registration.
The trustees who served during the period and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Abidur R. Choudhury Tanisha M. Choudhury Nafiza Jahura
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The trustee board remained unchanged during the reporting period. The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction, oversight and governance of the charity. Any future trustee appointments would be made in accordance with the charity’s constitution and with regard to the skills and experience required by the charity.

The trustees continue to keep under review their legal duties, the charity’s activities, governance arrangements and financial position. Relevant Charity Commission guidance and other matters affecting the charity’s operations are considered as part of the trustees’ ongoing oversight.
Organisational Management
The charity continued to operate on a lean basis during the period. Day to day administration was supported by trustees and volunteers, with trustees retaining oversight of key operational, financial and strategic matters.
Decision-Making
Significant decisions, including those relating to acquisitions, grants, financing and risk management, are made by the trustees. Day to day administrative matters are handled under trustee oversight.
Governance Policies
The charity keeps its governance and internal controls under review and continues to develop policies appropriate to its size and activities. During the period, the trustees continued to operate in line with the charity’s investment and governance framework.
Relationships Between the Charity and Related Parties
The charity also benefited from a small number of donations in kind during the period, including support with certain insurance related costs from a company connected with a trustee, as disclosed in the financial statements where applicable.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BUZRA FOUNDATION
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Buzra Foundation (the charity) for the period ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Buzra Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered on 30 January 2024. The charity is governed by its constitution adopted on the same date.
1.1 Reporting period
The period ended 31 July 2025 was a shortened reporting period, following the tustees' decision to change the charity's year end. This was done to align the charity's reporting cycle with the charity's anticipated future reporting structure and therefore the figures for the prior year are not entirely comparative.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.4 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Income
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Assets for distribution are recognised only when distributed. Assets given for use by the charity are recognised when receivable. Stocks of undistributed donated goods are not valued for balance sheet purposes.
Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.
All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value.
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.7 Investment property
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The acquisition took place after 31 July 2025 and has therefore been treated as a non adjusting post balance sheet event.
