Welcome from the Chair
On behalf of the trustees of Aarti Welfare Trust, I am pleased to present our Annual Report for the year ending 2025.
This year marked an important beginning for our charity following our registration in August 2024. Our focus has been on establishing strong foundations, developing governance procedures, and beginning charitable activities that support vulnerable individuals and communities.
We are grateful to all supporters, volunteers, trustees, and well-wishers who have contributed their time, resources, and encouragement during our first year of operation. Through collective effort, we have taken meaningful steps toward advancing education, supporting those facing hardship, promoting social inclusion, encouraging animal welfare, and supporting environmental awareness.
As a newly established charity, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering public benefit in accordance with our charitable objectives.
