2. Structure, Governance and Management

Harbour for Humanity was established as a registered charity on 20 May 2024 and is governed by its constitution, which outlines its charitable purposes and the powers of the trustees.

The trustees are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction, and financial oversight of the charity. The board meets on a quarterly basis to review activities, monitor performance, and manage risk.

Day-to-day operational activity has been developed through structured planning, with clear allocation of responsibilities to support effective delivery.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the governing document. On appointment, trustees receive appropriate induction, including guidance on their legal duties and responsibilities, and access to Charity Commission guidance.

The trustees actively assess risks facing the charity, particularly in relation to operations, fundraising, and international activity, and implement appropriate controls and procedures to mitigate these risks.

3. Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit

The charity’s objectives are:

To provide humanitarian relief to individuals and communities in need worldwide, particularly those affected by poverty, displacement, and conflict
To advance education and support development initiatives for disadvantaged communities globally

In setting these objectives and planning activities, the trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The charity delivers its objectives through:

Providing humanitarian aid, including food, water, and medical supplies
Supporting vulnerable and displaced communities affected by conflict
Engaging communities within the United Kingdom through fundraising and awareness activities

4. Achievements and Performance

This reporting period represents the charity’s first year of operation following its establishment in May 2024.

During the initial phase of the charity (approximately the first five months), the primary focus was on establishing a strong and sustainable operational foundation. This included:

Developing governance structures and internal policies
Establishing administrative processes and financial controls
Implementing IT and communication infrastructure
Organising volunteer engagement and support systems
Defining a clear strategic direction for fundraising and programme delivery

Following this foundational period, the charity transitioned into active delivery.

Key achievements during the period include:

Delivery of humanitarian relief in conflict-affected regions of the Middle East
Provision of essential aid including food, clean water, and medical supplies to displaced families who have lost their homes due to conflict
Engagement with local communities across the UK to support fundraising initiatives and raise awareness

The charity also initiated multiple early-stage projects during this period, establishing the groundwork for future expansion and impact.

Overall, this year marks the successful transition from establishment to operational activity, with both infrastructure and programme delivery now in place.

5. Financial Review

During the period, the charity generated total income of £9,132, primarily through voluntary donations.

The majority of funds received were applied towards the establishment of the charity’s operational infrastructure and the delivery of initial humanitarian activities. A portion of funds has been retained to support future charitable projects and ensure continuity of operations.

As this is the charity’s first reporting period, the financial position reflects a balance between initial setup costs and the commencement of programme delivery.

The trustees remain committed to ensuring that funds are applied effectively and in line with the charity’s objectives, while maintaining appropriate financial controls.

6. Plans for the Future

Building on its first year of activity, the charity aims to expand and strengthen its operations both nationally and internationally.

Future priorities include:

Scaling humanitarian relief efforts in regions affected by conflict and crisis
Supporting educational initiatives globally
Developing programmes focused on orphan support and long-term community development
Expanding fundraising activities and strengthening engagement with supporters
Enhancing communication channels and increasing public awareness of the charity’s work
Continuing to build organisational capacity and operational effectiveness

The charity intends to grow in a structured and sustainable manner, ensuring that future activities deliver meaningful and measurable impact.

7. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards.

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

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained
