In the report for 2013-14 the Trustees set out the following as 5 objectives for the year 2014-15.These targets recognisedthat 2014-15 was to be the first full year of the charity's activities. Progress was made as follows:

from the executive on the risks facing the charity;c. HR/Internal policies: essential policies are in place, the balance are drat)ed for approval;d. Due diligence: robust systems were established for the assessment of proposals received by the Charity.
2. Recruiting a fundraising department and establishing QCUK's Corporate Social Responsibility structure. It wasagreed to hire an Executive Director (with strong fundraising skills) as a first step. This recruitment processcommenced in June 2015.
3. Establish Qatar Charity UK Volunteer Scheme. Establishing a scheme was not prioritised, but volunteers didprovide support to the Charity during the year.
4. Qatar Charity UK programmes in the UK. Support was provided to fulfil a number of strategic aims. Details arenoted below.
5. Partnerships and Joint Ventures with UK-based charities. Meetings were held with a number of organisations whichwere either information-gathering or have led to joint activity and funded programmes. These included: Businessin the Community, Social Mobility Foundation, International Medical Corps UK, SOAS and various communitycentres.
Other charitable activities during the year included;1. 26 Ramadan-related projects, to ensure community centres could afford to feed a wider community(providing 'Iftaar')
in centres such as Bradford, East London, Leeds, Glasgow, Swansea University, Birmingham and Cardiff. An averageof 4,500 people daily benefitted from these projects. SOAS students erected Ramadan tents in a local park whichwelcomed the homeless, neighbours and other students for lt)aar.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
2. MOSAIC: The Nectar Trust, a working name of Qatar Charity UK, entered into a three-year venture with Business in
the Community to promote the Enterprise Challenge. This is an annual, national competition during which secondary
school students aged 11-16learn about establishing and running a business through a business simulation game. The
students are mentored by experienced business professionals. The programme reached close to 4,000 students in over
100 schools, and mobilised 484 mentors. 79% of the students were in the UK's most deprived areas. The average
feedback was positive: 4.5 out of 5.3. The relationship with Qatar Charity(Qatar) was continued. The Trustees agreed that funding could be received where
it did not compromise the independence of QCUK and it contributed to our strategic objectives. Following full
assessments and due diligence, funds were received for projects in UK, France, Myanmar and Ukraine. The funds
covered a variety of I(lear, Qurbani, and community-centre-related projects.
4. Community centres: QCUK regularly receives requests for support from charities running community centres. These
are centres for a local community which may contain conference suites, leisure facilities, schools or prayer halls and
student accommodation. It is a condition of our funding that the centre is sustainable and income generating. During
the year we considered funding requests from centres in USA, Canada, UK, Sweden, Belgium, France, Germany,
Italy, Ukraine, Switzerland and Spain. QCUK carries out thorough due diligence on the applicants requesting funding
and this is mentioned in greater detail in the Financial Summary section, on Page 4, of this report.
5. QCUK supported the work of a local NGO to establish a centre for rape victims in Bosnia. A Qurbani project with
the Rohingya minority in Myanmar reached close to 100,000 people suffering from food shortages.
6. A variety of non-cost activities also took place such as distribution, to London shelters, of clothing donated to QCUK
by Qatari students and families.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (contiaued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2015
Financial review
The Company received donations, grants and other income 54,457, 191 (5460,511 in 2013/14). 63,979,451 (61,084 in
2013/14) of the total income received constitutes restricted donations and this translates to approximately 89% (0.24% in
2013/14). At the end of the fiscal year 2014/15 QCUK brought forward a positive bank balance of f3,937,699 (f230,612
in 2013/2014).
The Trustees are satisfied that plans are in place to spend this restricted balance, understanding that f3,679,394 of this
income arrived close to the last quarter of the year. Note 10 sets out the details of the part of our work related to community
centers, where due diligence is ongoing. This due diligence process requires a robust analysis of the governance and
financial aspects of the applicant as well as detailed examination of the project that is being proposed, usually property-
related. No funds are spent on a community centre project until QCUK is satisfied that the funds will be immediately and
sustainably spent on their intended purpose. Following due diligence, we rejected two proposals during the year and thus
are holding the funds pending agreement on a different project. Delays caused by the rigour of our due diligence process
are the reason for this year's surplus in restricted funding.
In accordance with SORP 2005, support costs have been allocated between charitable activities and fundraising. The
statement of Financial Activities demonstrates that Qatar Charity UK spent f729,070 or 96.8% (f196,565 or 98.5% in
2013/14) of total expenditures on charitable activities, 517,128 or 2.3% (686 or 0.05% % in 2013/14) of its expenditures
on fund raising and I7,213 or 0.96% (52,880 or 1.45% in 2013/14) of its expenditures on governance activities
Administrative Structure:
In accordance with the trust deed and current standing orders, only the Board of Trustees has the power to appoint and
discharge Trustees and appoint office bearers.
The Board of Trustees are supported by a Secretariat based in London. The role of this Secretariat is to raise funds and
implement the strategies as directed by the trustees. The Director General of the Secretariat is Mr. Ayyoub Abouliaqin.
The administration of the Secretariat is subject always to the approval of the Board of Trustees who accordingly remain
ultimately responsible for the manner in which Qatar Charity UK and its activities are administered.
Public Benefit
As a charity, Qatar Charity UK must be able to demonstrate that its objects and activities are for the public benefit as
required by the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees have all reviewed the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit and have ensured that Qatar Charity UK and its objects and activities comply with this statutory requirement.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to
the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.
This Report explains our main activities and achievements in carrying out our aims.
Governance and internal control
The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material mis-
statement or loss. They include:
~ a strategic plan and an annual budget approved by the Board of Trustees;
~ regular consideration by the Board ofTrustees of financial results, variance from budgets, non-financial indicators
and bench working reviews;
~ delegation of authority and segregation of duties;

Risk management
The Board of Trustees are fully aware of the need to assess the risks faced by the charity and to minimise those risks.
The Trustees considered and approved a full analysis of the risks to which Qatar Charity UK may be exposed. . With the
executive they are working to put systems in place to mitigate exposure to such risks.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of Qatar Charity UK that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should bemaintained at a level which will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue thecharity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. It is also Qatar
Charity UK's policy to hold sufficient funds, currently three months, for administrative expenditures.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Qatar Charity UK for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing
the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
