Trustees’ Annual Report to Financial Year-End 5 April 2026

Introduction

In a year marked by heightened conflict, rapid-onset crises, and deepening humanitarian need, Amplifying Voices has continued to accompany communities facing immense pressure. Around the world, instability has intensified—particularly across Gaza, the West Bank, South Sudan, India, Pakistan and the Sahel—further straining local systems and widening information gaps that place already vulnerable people at greater risk.

Against this backdrop, 2026 has seen one of the most ambitious new humanitarian communications ventures in our 12-year history: the launch of Radio Insan , a trauma-informed humanitarian radio service for conflict-affected communities in Gaza. Delivered in partnership with UNICEF and local teams in Gaza and the West Bank, Radio Insan aims to fill critical communication gaps for displaced families—offering safety information, health guidance, children’s support programming, and community-centred content created by Gazans themselves. Despite extreme access constraints and ongoing insecurity, the first ramp-up broadcasts began on 6 March 2026, marking a significant milestone in our disaster response work, ‘AViD’ (Amplifying Voices in Disaster).

Alongside this new initiative, our long-standing partnerships across Africa and Asia have continued to mature, showing resilience and community-level impact even through hardship. The trustees are pleased to present this Annual Report and independently examined accounts for the year ending 5 April 2026, prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, and the latest Charities SORP.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational Structure

Amplifying Voices UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales and the Scottish Charity Regulator as a cross-border charity. Strategic leadership is provided by our Board of Trustees, who oversee governance, risk management, and the fulfilment of our charitable objects. Trustees typically serve renewable three-year terms and together bring deep experience in media, development, education, faith-based community work and charity leadership.

Operational delivery is carried out by our small, multi-country team of staff, contractors and volunteers, supported by trusted partner organisations embedded in the communities we serve. The operations team meets with Trustees quarterly and maintains ongoing communication throughout the year.

4

Charitable Objects

Our charitable purpose, grounded in the outworking of our Christian faith, is the relief of poverty and sickness, and the promotion of health and wellbeing anywhere in the world. We achieve this through community-centred media—especially radio—and through training, dialogue-based development, and support for local partners. Our aim is to equip communities to share information, strengthen social cohesion, and pursue sustainable, locally led solutions.

Risk Management and serious incident reporting

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the strategic, operational, and financial risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to protect life and provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Amplifying Voices recognises that risk is inherent in all areas of our work—from our governance and strategic planning to our frontline humanitarian broadcasts. The Board of Trustees maintains ultimate accountability for risk management, utilising a comprehensive risk register to assess, mitigate, and monitor threats to our mission, resources, and reputation. We adopt a balanced and proportionate approach: while we aim to avoid unnecessary exposure to high-level threats, we remain open to the calculated risks necessary to reach communities in crisis and foster meaningful growth.

During this reporting period, the Trustees regularly reviewed the risk register to ensure resilience against a changing global environment. The principal risks identified included the physical safety of our team and partners in conflict zones (such as Gaza and the West Bank) and the volatility of international funding. The Board is satisfied that the systems and controls currently in place are effective and appropriate to the charity’s size and the complex nature of its international activities.

The Trustees confirm that no serious incidents occurred during the year.

Accompaniment

Amplifying Voices exists to walk alongside the partners who serve communities facing crises whether as a result of poverty, injustice, conflict or natural or man-made disaster. We invest deeply in long-term relationships, providing training, mentoring, technical support, and—where needed—equipment and capital investment. Our focus remains on local ownership, local sustainability, and community voice as the centre of transformation.

This year, our accompaniment included intensive humanitarian support around Radio Insan , strengthened governance coaching for partners in Zambia and Kenya, and supporting partners in India in extending community engagement and outreach across the Adivasi tribal belt.

5

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that the charity continues to meet the public benefit requirements of both the Charity Commission of England & Wales and OSCR (Scottish Charity Regulator). Our work demonstrably improves access to information, health awareness, peacebuilding processes, and community agency—especially among marginalised and conflict-affected groups.

Governance

The Board of Trustees is committed to high standards of governance and recognises the updated Charity Governance Code as the benchmark for best practice. We operate in accordance with the Code’s foundational principles, ensuring that all Trustees invest the necessary time to understand their legal duties and the charity’s strategic aims. Our governance framework is designed to support our organisational purpose through effective leadership and ethical decision-making that remains grounded in our Christian faith. As mentioned above, the Board maintains oversight of resources and risk through a comprehensive risk register, ensuring efficient stewardship of assets even in complex international environments. Furthermore, we are dedicated to Board effectiveness and equity, diversity, and inclusion; we regularly review our balance of skills and experience—which currently spans media, development, and education—to ensure we remain fit for purpose and responsive to the diverse communities we serve.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

1. Humanitarian Response

Gaza – Radio Insan (New Humanitarian Radio Project)

2026 marked the beginning of one of Amplifying Voices’ most ambitious humanitarian communication efforts: Radio Insan , a trauma-informed FM station created in partnership with UNICEF to support conflict-affected families in Gaza. Despite extreme insecurity, communications blackouts, and severe movement restrictions, broadcasts began in earnest on 6 March 2026, providing vital safety updates, children’s programming, health guidance, and psychosocial support—all designed and voiced by Gazans themselves. The station is already beginning to provide a steady, trusted presence for families navigating daily uncertainty.

Radio Insan builds on a broader multi-agency humanitarian radio initiative designed to fill the communication gaps that endanger children and families in both Gaza and the West Bank. Around one-third of daytime broadcasting is dedicated to children, combining education, wellbeing advice and entertainment to help restore a sense of normalcy amid crisis. Working closely with UNICEF and a “communicating-withcommunities” working group, the station hosts content from several humanitarian partners, while Amplifying Voices has provided equipment, training and technical guidance to local teams in both Gaza and the West Bank to create trauma-aware programming. All content is pre-recorded to protect contributors in an environment where misinformation and eroded trust present real dangers, yet the station remains lively, responsive, and—critically—on air, reaching families across Gaza with life-saving information and community voice.

2. Sub-Saharan Africa

Zambia – Voice of Simooya

Amplifying Voices continued to strengthen its partnership with Simooya Community Radio following the installation of solar power in 2025, which has improved broadcast reliability and supported greater engagement across Pemba District. Governance coaching for the board, support for audience research processes, and preparations for election-related training formed the core of this year’s accompaniment. Challenges remain in building local income streams and improving consistency in financial reporting, but the station continues to grow in reputation and trust.

This year also highlighted the remarkable commitment of Simooya’s volunteer team, whose attitudes and dedication continue to shape the long-term sustainability of the station. Interviews with local facilitators and management reveal a deep sense of ownership—whether through maintaining the studio, producing dramas with community actors, welcoming disabled community members into programming, or modelling positive family and agricultural practices. Their motivation is rooted not in financial reward but in a shared desire to strengthen their community. Their service demonstrates that the future of Simooya Community Radio depends not only on infrastructure investments like solar power but also on the character and commitment of local people whose passion keeps the microphones open and the community engaged.

Kenya – Vox Radio and ICT Hub

Amplifying Voices’ partnership with Vox Radio deepened significantly this year, with a major grant secured to introduce SALT community engagement processes, ongoing leadership mentoring for station staff, and strengthened governance support. The station continues to serve as a trusted platform in a region affected by inequality, climate shocks, and the persistent threat of violent extremism.

During 2025–26, the station also played a critical role in helping flood-displaced communities in Tana River County begin rebuilding their lives. When severe flooding forced over 2,000 families into makeshift camps at Garsen Secondary School, Vox Radio amplified their situation relentlessly—broadcasting community testimonies, hosting dialogue forums, and highlighting the lack of shelter, sanitation, and dignity for those displaced. Over time, these stories gained the attention of county and national authorities, eventually leading to the allocation of land for families to construct permanent homes. One resident described the moment as “a new beginning,” expressing deep gratitude that the station’s advocacy helped their pleas reach decision-makers. This milestone stands as a testament to the power of community-centred journalism to convert suffering into collective action and hope.

8

Challenges this year remained around governance transparency, local income generation, and solar power reliability; however, community trust in Vox Radio continues to grow, and the station’s social impact remains strong.

DRC – Umoja FM, North Kivu

Umoja FM continued to serve as a vital lifeline in North Kivu throughout 2026, broadcasting daily despite insecurity, displacement, and the loss of long-standing station champion Daniel Sabiti, the bishop of Kamango. The station’s resilience has been especially evident in its response to the profound trauma faced by surrounding communities.

One powerful example this year has been the continued recovery of Kichanga Village, where a massacre left dozens dead and shattered the community’s sense of safety. Reporter Jean-Baptiste Mbilinyama, supported and mentored by Amplifying Voices, shared how deeply personal the tragedy was for the station team: “These were people we knew,” he recalled. Yet the team refused to let their microphones fall silent. Umoja

FM’s broadcasts became a foundation for community healing—providing trauma support, safety messages, and a platform for survivors to speak directly to local authorities and humanitarian actors. On-air dialogues brought together civil society leaders, elders, and even soldiers, reframing conflict-torn relationships around shared hopes for peace.

Listeners repeatedly testified to the station’s impact. One said, “If we have returned to our village, it is thanks to Radio Umoja, which kept reminding us that peace is possible.” Beyond peacebuilding, the station aired practical programmes—on farming, livestock care, and education—that helped families confront hunger and encouraged children, especially girls, to return to school. Broadcasting near the Virunga National Park, Umoja FM also championed environmental stewardship in a region where communities and wildlife live in fragile coexistence.

Thanks to the newly restored solar power system (installed after the previous one was destroyed by fire), Umoja FM now broadcasts 18 hours a day, providing steadfast companionship amid ongoing instability. As one listener put it, the station’s message continues to echo across North Kivu: “ Pamoja tuna weza — Together we can.”

South Sudan – Hope Village (Morobo)

Although escalating civil conflict has forced the Hope Village project to pause, it is important to acknowledge how much had already been achieved through the community-centred media work. In the year prior to suspension, the project helped catalyse a powerful tree-planting movement across Morobo County—an initiative born from radio conversations about deforestation, climate stress, and gender inequality. Listener groups, including those in Konakimungu, began planting teak, mango and jackfruit trees to restore natural resources destroyed during years of conflict. These efforts not only addressed environmental degradation but also strengthened peacebuilding, improved livelihoods, and promoted gender equity by encouraging men and women to work side by side. The progress demonstrated how community-centred media can spark concrete, hope-filled action even in deeply fragile contexts

10

Amplifying Voices continues to maintain a watching brief as the situation evolves. Civil conflict—marked by ongoing violence between government forces and opposition groups—has displaced hundreds of thousands of people, worsened food insecurity, and placed enormous pressure on humanitarian operations. These challenges have been compounded by economic collapse linked to reduced oil revenues following Sudan’s war spillover, and the UN has warned of the risk of a relapse into full-scale civil war. In this volatile context, Amplifying Voices remains in contact with partners, ready to re-engage if and when conditions stabilise enough to ensure safety, access, and genuine community participation.

3. South Asia

Pakistan

Across Pakistan, Amplifying Voices continued to accompany a network of locally rooted initiatives that blend vocational training, community-centred media, and health awareness to build resilience in marginalised communities. In Sargodha, the Roshan Ghar (“Bright Home” in Urdu) project strengthened its mobile health clinic and sewing centre work while supporting families through homework clubs for children, and women-led livelihood development. Near Nowshera, the Rokhan-e-Qore (“Bright Home” in Pashto) project continued to encourage adult education and media creation in Pashto-speaking communities, while in Sindh the Roshni-ro-Gar (“Bright Home” in Marwari) programme relocated successfully to Raniapur to deepen engagement with Bagri/Marwari tribal families facing persistent social and economic barriers.

Meanwhile, in Charsadda, Naway Saher (“New Dawn” in Pashto) —a long-standing community services group originally established after major flooding—continued to operate independently, running its own FM programmes, youth mobilisation activities, health initiatives and dialogue spaces that bridge cultural and religious divides.

11

Together, these interconnected efforts demonstrate the strength of locally led media in sparking change: women, youth, and minority groups who once felt excluded now speak into shared discussions, advocate for services, and model new practices. One story that captures this transformation is that of Nasrin, a young mother from a conservative village near Sargodha whose children suffered from Thalassemia and chronic anaemia. After engaging with Roshan Ghar’s radio programmes, health seminars, and home-based support, she saw dramatic improvements in her children’s health and in her own confidence. She became a promoter of the programmes, encouraging relatives and neighbours to adopt the hygiene and nutrition practices she had learned. Her journey—from stigma and anxiety to resilience and leadership— reflects how community-centred media and local outreach can transform entire families and build lasting wellbeing grounded in trust and empathy

India – Adivasi Voices Project

The Adivasi Voices Project continued to deepen its presence and impact across tribal communities in Maharashtra throughout 2025–26. During this period, Amplifying Voices supported Seva Social Welfare Foundation to consolidate its Theory of Change, strengthen organisational sustainability, and lay the groundwork for future expansion into additional areas—including early scoping conversations for extending the project into Kerala. Building on this momentum, the project has begun reaching new villages beyond the original forty, with community facilitators reporting growing demand for speakerbox content, home-based dialogues, and the Adivasincha Avaaz (Adivasi Voices) mobile app.

The project’s growing influence is perhaps best illustrated through stories like that of Somari and Budhu, a young Adivasi couple who had spent years trapped in bonded labour. Through the Adivasi Voices mobile app—designed to help vulnerable communities understand their rights and access support—they gained the information

12

and confidence needed to break free. They went on to launch a thriving Vada Pav (a local potato-based delicacy) food stall, becoming business owners for the first time and inspiring neighbours who had long felt powerless. Their journey shows how community-centred media and locally rooted storytelling tools can break cycles of exploitation and unlock new pathways to dignity, livelihood and resilience.

As the project continues expanding into new villages, these stories are becoming more common: families finding their voice, communities organising to solve shared problems, and younger generations using media tools to claim agency over their futures. The cumulative effect is a slow but steady transformation—one village at a time—as communities discover they already hold the seeds of their own flourishing.

THE YEAR AHEAD

As we step into the coming financial year, we do so in a world marked by deep uncertainty. Conflicts continue to fracture communities, misinformation erodes trust, and climate-driven crises push vulnerable families to the very edge of survival. Yet within this challenging landscape, one truth has become even clearer to us: when local people are heard, resilience grows; when stories rooted in dignity are shared, hope takes shape; and when communities lead the conversation, change becomes possible.

Amplifying Voices enters the next year with a renewed sense of purpose precisely because the challenges are so great. The work of equipping communities with media tools is no longer simply valuable—it is essential. Whether through trauma-aware radio in Gaza, youth-led dialogue in Kenya, or grassroots mobilisation in Pakistan and India, we continue to see how local voices can soften division, spark problem-solving, and strengthen the social fabric when it is most at risk of tearing apart.

This year, we are undertaking a major strategic review of our organisation. Guided by external facilitators and feedback from our partners—who understand local realities with a depth and clarity no external assessment can match—we are examining not only what we do, but how we do it. Their insights are helping us discern where we must grow, where we must streamline, and where we must be courageous enough to adapt. This process is shaping a future in which Amplifying Voices remains fit for purpose, responsive to global shifts, and deeply aligned with the needs and wisdom of the communities we serve.

In the midst of the shrinking humanitarian space and increasing pressure on civil society, we choose to strengthen our accompaniment of local partners, and on nurturing long-term local leadership. We will continue to work with local partners to bolster governance and sustainability across our projects, seeking strategic collaborations that develop local agency and ensure that the resources entrusted to us create lasting, generational impact.

The road ahead is not simple—but we are not walking it alone. Across continents, we see partners, volunteers, producers, facilitators, and community leaders rising with

13

determination and creativity. Their commitment fuels our own. And so, we move into the year ahead with humility, confidence, and hope—continuing to believe that community-centred storytelling—and the dignity of being heard—remains one of the most powerful tools for building resilience and peace.

10 Risk Management and Assessment

The trustees actively review major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and particularly those of a Safeguarding nature. They seek to maintain adequate free reserves, and combine that review with an annual review of the controls of key financial systems. This provides a high degree of confidence in our resources and systems.

For the most part of the year under review overseas travel has been possible and associated projects have benefitted accordingly. However Middle Eastern conflicts in the closing months of the year has changed the picture dramatically. We are regularly reviewing the situation and will only travel again when we believe that it safe to do so. Meanwhiie Trustees will continue their overall examination of our operational and business risks.

11 Reserves

The trustees have reviewed their reserves in the light of the Charity's size and financial commitments. They aim to ensure that the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives whatever the level of income or in the face of unexpected expenditure With a healthy cash position at year end the Trustees have decided to increase the General Reserve by £5,000 to £15,000.
