Structure, Governance and Management
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) using the foundation model constitution, under which the only voting members are the charity trustees. The constitution states that the charity’s principal office is in England and that the trustees are responsible for managing the affairs of the CIO and exercising all of its powers in furtherance of its charitable purposes. The constitution also provides rules on trustee appointment, conflicts of interest, decision-making, delegation and meetings.
Under the constitution, there must be a minimum of three charity trustees and no more than five at any one time. Apart from the first trustees, each new trustee is appointed following nomination by a trustee and approval by majority resolution at a properly convened trustees’ meeting. The trustees have confirmed that the charity’s regulatory and constitutional records are up to date.

Objectives and Activities
Feed Hope Charity
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the charity are to relieve financial hardship among poor people and those in financial hardship by making grants and providing items, equipment, services and facilities, including food, water, clothing, other basic necessities, school-related costs and medical treatment. These objects form the basis of the charity’s humanitarian and poverty-relief activities.
The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on public benefit when planning, delivering and reviewing the charity’s activities. The trustees are satisfied that the charity’s programmes further its charitable purposes and provide public benefit by delivering humanitarian aid, poverty relief, educational support and other charitable assistance to people in need, both in the United Kingdom and overseas.
During the reporting period, the charity undertook activities which furthered these purposes through direct support for vulnerable beneficiaries overseas. The documentary evidence provided shows support for an orphan assistance project in Morocco and a Sudan emergency aid project in Port Sudan Rural. These activities involved the provision of clothing, food support, hot meals and related humanitarian relief to people facing hardship.

Financial Review
Financial Review
-
Total voluntary income: £5,505
-
Total expenditure: £4,450
-
Surplus for the year: £1,055
-
Year-end funds and cash at bank and in hand: £1,055
-
Restricted funds at year end: nil
During the reporting period, Feed Hope Charity received £5,505 in voluntary income, which consisted entirely of public donations made by individual supporters. These donations were given voluntarily to support the charity’s charitable objectives and humanitarian activities. The charity did not receive any grant funding or income from fundraising events during the reporting period.
The statement of financial activities shows total income of £5,505 and total expenditure of £4,450, resulting in a surplus for the year of £1,055. The balance sheet shows net current assets and total funds of £1,055, represented by cash at bank and in hand. No fixed assets were held at the year end.
The notes to the accounts analyse expenditure as £2,000 for Orphanage assistance, £1,200 for Sudan Humanitarian support and £1,250 for accountancy fees. The charitable expenditure therefore reflects direct application of funds to the charity’s humanitarian objectives, together with professional costs necessary for compliance and financial administration.
The accounts show no restricted income and no restricted year-end fund balance. All funds held at the year end were unrestricted and available for the general purposes of the charity.

Reserves Policy
Reserves Policy
The trustees have adopted a policy of maintaining free reserves at a level sufficient to meet the charity’s short-term operating costs and financial commitments while ensuring that the maximum amount of funds is applied towards the charity’s charitable purposes.
At the end of the reporting period, the charity held free reserves of £1,055. The trustees consider this level of reserves to be appropriate for the size and current level of the charity’s activities. The reserves provide a modest financial buffer to meet unforeseen expenditure and support the continued operation of the charity. The trustees will continue to review the reserves policy regularly as the charity grows and its activities expand.

Risk Management
Risk Management
The trustees are responsible for identifying, reviewing and managing the principal risks facing the charity. Risks are considered regularly at trustee meetings, and appropriate measures are implemented to minimise their impact.
The principal risks identified by the trustees include financial management, project delivery, partner oversight, safeguarding, and legal and regulatory compliance. The risk of financial loss or misuse of funds is managed through appropriate financial controls, accurate accounting records, trustee oversight of expenditure and regular review of the charity’s financial position. The risk that projects may not be delivered effectively is managed through planning, monitoring and regular communication with those responsible for delivery. Where activities are delivered through trusted local partners, the trustees undertake due diligence, maintain communication and require updates and supporting evidence to ensure that funds are used for their intended charitable purposes.
The charity is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults involved in its activities and seeks to ensure that appropriate safeguarding standards are followed by volunteers and partner organisations. The trustees also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including Charity Commission obligations, financial reporting duties and data protection responsibilities, and obtain professional advice where appropriate. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures provide a reasonable framework for managing the principal risks faced by the charity.

Volunteer Contribution
Volunteer Contribution
The charity is supported by the voluntary efforts of its trustees, who are responsible for the governance, strategic direction, administration and oversight of the charity. The trustees give their time on a voluntary basis and receive no remuneration for their services.
The charity’s humanitarian projects delivered overseas are also supported by volunteers provided by its partner organisations in the countries where projects are undertaken. These volunteers assist with aid delivery, beneficiary registration, distribution of assistance, logistical support and project coordination, enabling the charity’s work to be carried out effectively within local communities. The trustees are grateful for the valuable contribution made by these volunteers and partner organisations.

Future Plans
Future Plans
The trustees have approved plans to continue developing the charity’s humanitarian activities during 2026, subject to the availability of funding. The charity intends to continue providing emergency food assistance and other humanitarian aid to vulnerable individuals and families, and to expand support for children through projects including baby milk assistance, orphan support and access to essential healthcare.
The charity also intends to deliver water, education and medical assistance projects where there is identified need, and to continue operating in the United Kingdom while supporting humanitarian programmes in countries including Somalia, Sudan, Morocco and other regions affected by poverty or humanitarian crisis, where this is consistent with the charity’s objectives. The trustees plan to strengthen partnerships with trusted local organisations in order to improve effective delivery, monitoring and accountability, while also increasing public awareness of the charity’s work and developing sustainable fundraising to support future projects.
In addition, the trustees intend to continue strengthening governance, financial management, safeguarding arrangements and regulatory compliance so that charitable funds are used effectively and accountably. The trustees will keep these plans under regular review and adapt the charity’s activities in response to emerging humanitarian needs and available resources.
