About AMURT UK
Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT) UK works with communities to relieve the immediate suffering of those affected by disaster and crises and helps them move on with their lives. Current projects serve vulnerable communities to:
•Relieve food poverty (involving food upcycling)
-
•Promote healthy food/lifestyle choices
-
•Find other services that they might need to support them
•Engage, train, upskill and coordinate volunteers to promote mental health & wellbeing
We believe every individual has the right to having their basic needs satisfied such as nourishment and being treated with respect regardless of race, gender or social status.
To do this, we work with local communities in Hackney and Camden, London, to relieve immediate suffering by delivering projects focused on food and feeding the homeless, the elderly, vulnerable people on low incomes and with children. With the help of local volunteers, AMURT has been preparing and distributing good quality, nutritious meals for homeless and food poverty affected beneficiaries in London for over 10 years through its London Feeding Programme (LFP). Since the COVID19 pandemic and now with the cost of living crisis AMURT nutritious meal service service has seen a big increase in demand. AMURT has received funds to increase the number of meals prepared and distributed, which in 2022-23 numbered over 20,000 . We also run a health-food store, Food for All, in Stoke Newington; its profits are used to support our help for vulnerable and homeless beneficiaries.
Internationally we partner with other AMURT chapters, to respond to the specific needs and challenges of their local areas.
BACKGROUND
AMURT (Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team) is one of the few private voluntary organisations of Third World origin, being founded in India in 1965. Its original objective was to help meet the needs of those affected by disasters that regularly hit the Indian sub-continent. Over the years AMURT has established teams in thirty four countries, creating a network that can meet development and disaster needs in many parts of the world.
In 1985 the global AMURT organisation broadened its goals to include long-term development and in 1986 AMURT was established in the UK.
AMURTEL was formed in 1975 as a sister organisation to respond specifically to the problems faced by women and children. AMURTEL is managed by women and initiates programmes that raise the standard of health and education of women and their children. The programmes also permit women to gain greater selfdetermination and economic independence.

Welcome from our Chair
2023 has been another challenging year for AMURT and our beneficiaries.
In the UK the on going cost of living crisis is taking a serious toll on those already at the margins of society. Many of our service users had to make the impossible choice of either eating well or being warm in the winter of 2023. Fortunately, we have been working closely with our service users to do our best to meet their ever-increasing needs. This has included increasing the number of meals we produce, from 374 meals/week in January 2023, feeding 156 service users to 502 meals/week in December 2023 feeding 246 service users. That is an increase of almost 74% in volume of meals and 63% in numbers of service users benefitting each week.
The increase in meal production was made possible by securing a wonderful reciprocal partnership with The Salvation Army and moving our production down to their large and well equipped kitchen in Lower Clapton. These new facilities also enabled us to provide a warm space for service users to eat and socialise in which has helped many to feel more part of a supportive community.
We have always worked in partnership with other organisations but 2023 saw us increase our collaborations and partnerships to a new level. Some new collaborations include with the NHS, Turning Point (City and Hackney Recovery Service), Hackney Night Shelter and Casey’s Bakery.
On the international arena we have been busy supporting our regular affiliate partners such as AMURT Nigeria, AMURTEL Romania, AMURTEL Greece and the Spirulina Nutrition Project in Kenya. In addition AMURT UK has responded to the increasing number of global disasters by supporting other AMURT/AMURTEL chapters. We have chosen to support those that are embedded in local communities and able to respond to the local context efficiently and effectively.
I am very proud of being a trustee for AMURT UK and so very grateful for all the wonderful staff and volunteers that work with us. We really couldn’t do what we do without them. G O V I N D A L O V A G E AMURT UK Chair

What we do in the UK: London Feeding Pro gramme
AMURT UK helps to reduce food poverty amongst the homeless and vulnerable children, families and households in Camden, Hackney and Islington.
2023 was a particularly challenging year for our service users due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. In London, 21% of adults were facing food insecurity and 800,000 children were living in poverty. Large numbers were struggling to heat their homes, often having to decide between ‘heating or eating’.
According to official figures rough sleeping also increased by 23% in London in the last quarter of 2023 compared to the last quarter of 2022 and we saw this reflected in our own service.
In 2023 AMURT UK prepared and distributed 20,616 warm nutritious plant-based meals, 1500 nutrition bars and several hundred tonnes of fresh foo ~~d~~ ing ~~redients serving over 9000 homeless and~~ vulnerable people affected by the poverty crisis in London.

Kitchen Upgrade:
2023 saw a big upgrade of our kitchen facilities and distribution points. It became clear from speaking to service users there was a need for a warm place to be able to sit, eat and socialise in when receiving our warm meals. In response, by October 2023 we had secured a reciprocal partnership with The Salvation Army and moved our production to their kitchen in Lower Clapton which has a big open dining room space to distribute food from. This means that we now have 3 distribution points in Lower Clapton, Cazenove Road and Lincolns Inn Fields. We have also continued to provide meals to other community partners in Hackney.
We started having two meal sittings in the cooking hub in Lower Clapton every Thursday. One at lunchtime and the other as an early supper. Many service users come as soon as we open and stay until closing. They love that it is a warm, welcoming space with many friendly faces. They can sit and eat in peace or over a social conversation with other service users or with one of our befriending volunteers.
Having our own warm space to distribute meant that we get to sit and talk with our service users, make them feel valued and build trust which has many benefits.
Vita Bites
2023 saw us develop our corporate offering around Vita Bites production. This has meant that over the last year we have worked with a wide range of ~~team~~ s from corporate organisations to prepare, cut, wrap and label the Vita Bites. These healthy, delicious nutrition bars continue to help our service users 5000 boost their health and immune system and can substitute a meal when another cannot be found.

AMURTEL Greece
At AMURTEL Greece, they believe all mothers have the right and the capacity to maintain or restore their health, well-being, dignity and selfdetermination. They believe that all infants have the right to be protected and cared for in order to foster optimum health and development. For highly vulnerable refugee and migrant populations, these rights are all too often unattainable.
The educational support groups became far and away the most well attended facet of AMURTEL Greece’s programs in 2023. The level of eagerness to learn and discuss issues in relation to health care and life choices seemed to increase exponentially in the mothers. Some mothers had been going for years to help support newer mothers in the groups.
Their collaboration with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) offering group sessions on gender-based violence awareness and women’s rights, continued into its 6th year. Parenting was added to the infant care groups and proved to be an endlessly interesting topic of discussion. Also, art workshops as well as yoga sessions, both for ~~the~~ mothers and for mothers with babies, found them once again curious and focussed on exploring new ideas and concepts. 5000

Art Expression
Art creativity sessions were introduced and thoroughly enjoyed by the mothers. For some, it was the first time ever to paint, draw, create macrame bracelets, recycle magazines into artwork, and so on. Some of their art was displayed at the time of the art exhibition held in December.
Yoga for Mothers & Mother-baby yoga Infant Massage
Movements for health and development awareness brought laughter and smiles to the faces of both mothers and babies.
Peer-to-peer training (P2P)
AMURTEL’s data indicated that a remarkable 93% of mothers state that they share information and knowledge gained at AMURTEL with other mothers in their communities. Spurred on by this, AMURTEL Greece continued a series of P2P Courses in 2023.
These courses train mothers to become ‘peer supporters’ for pregnant women and mothers with infants in their communities. Additionally, the course graduates become resources for women requiring information about available services offered in Athens.
Antenatal & Postnatal care, breastfeeding & infant nutrition

Miremba, a 25-year-old African woman, came to Greece to escape menial labour and sexual favour servitude in the home of a rich man. Her parents had sold her at the age of 8 due to their extreme poverty. Miremba remembers long hours of hard work as well as being used as a sexual object for her owner and his friends. She became pregnant as a teenager but never saw her child. He was taken away from her at the moment of birth and she does not know what happened to him. She thinks he was most probably sold.
After years of planning, she was able to escape and found her way to Greece. Due to sexual violence, she encountered on the way, she arrived in Greece pregnant. At first, she was homeless and staying in a park. She recounts how one day she was sitting on a bench in a city square feeling unutterably lost, alone, and despairing, asking herself how she could possibly manage to go through pregnancy and care for her baby. Amid these thoughts, an African woman approached her. After listening to her story, this woman told her about AMURTEL Greece. Miremba came for the first time on that very day. She tells of how she felt welcomed, was spoken to in French, helped to find housing, given referrals for community resources, and cared for by a midwife. She made friends and became part of a community of mothers. Today she is settled in Greece and not only continues to go weekly to the support groups held by AMURTEL Greece, but brings others also. It is her way of paying back and paying forward the care she received from the staff and mothers at AMURTEL. Names have been changed to protect beneficiary identity

AMURT Nigeria
AMURT Nigeria started work in S.E. Nigeria in 2010 due to its extremely high Maternal Mortality Rate: 1000 deaths in every 100,000 live births in 2010.
Most Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in these rural areas are run by the government, based on a centralized management system. They tend to deteriorate from lack of investment, are chronically understaffed, have erratic opening hours and experience low patronage due to the lack of confidence in and disconnect between the community and the PHC’s. As a result, most women prefer to give birth at home and take their sick children to local herbalists and chemists (Patented Medical Vendors) who often misuse artificial Oxytocin to induce labour, which can result in uterine rupture and sometimes fetal death. Many pregnant women don’t have access to comprehensive antenatal care and if they do, highrisk cases are rarely followed up.
AMURT Nigeria has developed a decentralized model of addressing the primary and maternal healthcare needs of neglected remote rural populations, putting community participation ~~at~~ the centre of its strategy. The model demands that the community initiate, manage and take ownership of the project in partnership with the 5000 government. It has been developed over 13 years of daily presence in villages.

Obstetric Emergencies
In 2023 four emergency obstetric referral centres carried out 293 cesarean sections, while AMURT supported 32 at the Federal Teaching Hospital. Cesarean sections made up 11% of total births. AMURT sponsored 188 pediatric surgeries in the 10 AMURT Assisted Health Centers and another 48 major pediatric surgeries were taken to the Federal Teaching Hospital in Abakaliki.
Safe Motherhood
AMURT Nigeria provides a 24 hour primary hour health service every day of the year which is essential for maternal and newborn health. AMURT trains Maternal Health Promoters in villages who play a crucial role in tracking pregnancies and encouraging mothers to attend Anti Natal Care (ANC) and give birth in the Health Centre. AMURT makes comprehensive ANC accessible in all their project areas. Doctors and ultrasound machines are present and available to identify any danger signs. Early identification of women at high risk of complications is essential. Health workers also make home visits to follow up on high risk cases.
Making emergency obstetric care accessible and affordable
4 of AMURT Assisted Health Centres offer emergency obstetric services and are equipped with operating theatres, blood transfusion facilities, and st ~~andby ambulances. These centres also have~~ resident doctors, lab scientists, midwives, and health workers available 24 hours per day.

Engaging with Youth on Reproductive Health:
In 2023, AMURT’s adolescent sexual and reproductive health team engaged with over 3000 adolescents in six project areas. They delivered messages on drug substance abuse, sexual abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases, harmful traditional practices (Female Genital Mutilation, child marriage) and sexual abuse. AMURT also trained peer educators in schools and Youth Champions at the village level which reaches youth in 34 villages.
AMURT also runs a teenage mothers program holding regular meetings in the each of the 6 project areas for pregnant teens and those who have recently given birth. They receive special attention, support and guidance, and sessions to boost their self-esteem. AMURT also conducted sensitization sessions on menstural health and hygiene.
Water is life: Reaching every village Many rural villages in Ebonyi State rely on river and ponds for their drinking water. The water is often contaminated and causes the spread of cholera, gastroenteritis and other water borne diseases. In 2023 AMURT’s water and sanitation team worked in 20
communities on new borehole projects. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Committees were formed and trained on how to maintain the bore holes.
Fighting malnutrition: The silent Killer
In 2023, AMURT observed an increase in child malnutrition in rural areas. While poverty is one contributing factor, ignorance plays an even greater role. To address this AMURT intensified its intervention by organising food demonstration programs which aim to teach local communities about the importance of providing a balanced diet with locally available foods.
AMURT also worked with the government to assist severely malnourished children and admitted the severe cases for specialised care.
Cooperative model for women’s economic empowerment
AMURT’s Economic Empowerment Program provides support to widows and women who are the sole breadwinners in their families, enabling them to start their own businesses. In 2023 these groups empowered 137 new women members, reaching a total of 763 cooperative members who have benefited.

Kenya Spirulina Nutrition Project
The primary goal of the Spirulina Nutrition Project (SNP) is to end malnutrition and address the dietary and nutritional needs of vulnerable children and mothers through the use of spirulina.
The SNP has found spirulina to be highly effective in impacting the health of children, often with remarkable results. A small daily dose of spirulina dramatically impacts on the micro-nutrient absorption in the body. Within weeks, noticeable changes can be seen in the children’s growth, weight and psycho-social behaviour. Several recent studies have demonstrated the immune enhancing properties of spirulina also.
SNP believes in self-reliant community health and sustainability. It grows its own spirulina at its farm located in Kambimawe village.
In 2023 SNP continued to produce very high quality spirulina which has greatly benefited the local community. The monthly average production ranged from 12-14 KG of spirulina. The SNP treated between 120-140 children each month with spirulina and homeopathic remedies b ~~etween~~ the ages of 1-12 years. The overriding complaints this year were underweight challenges, malnutrition and children’s growth and 5000 d ~~evelopment related conditions.~~ FIGURE 1.

Malnutrition
Malnutrition is a serious medical condition marked by a deficiency of energy, essential proteins, fats and vitamins and minerals in a diet. Malnourishment impacts all levels of a child’s present well being and ~~future prospects. In the short term it leads to decrea~~ sed immunity, making them more susceptible to infectious diseases. This can lead to, for example, poor attendance at school and poor concentration when they can attend. In the longer term it impacts on their physiological and cognitive development, which in turn affects their future productivity and potential.
Malnutrition is the most recognizable and perhaps most outward FIGURE 1. consequence of poverty in children. The United Nations FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) recognises that hunger is not just the According to Wikipedia, an scarcity of food but also the inability of individuals to access what is annual report is a referred to as nutritious food.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: Offsetting Grants and donations Legacies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Donated goods Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other |

| 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors Provisions for liabilities 2.4 ASSETS These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Intangible fixed assets They are valued at cost. Heritage assets They are valued at cost. Investments W k i i l d l f bl l h i lik l h Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. |

| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/10/2023. |
Responsibilities and As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to examiner's statement undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
