Charity Ralliers, Go Help had a banner year last year, and we couldn’t have done it without you. The core strategy of the charity is to support our charity projects and operations in a sustainable way, using income from our Charity Rallies events platform. The success of Charity Rallies is therefore highly correlated to the funding available for our charity projects. Go Help’s incoming resources increased by 35.5% over the 2012 financial year to £78,512 due to the strong performance of Charity Rallies, while the charity’s expended resources decreased by 44.2% over the 2012 financial year to £35,487 due to increased cost and expenditure control by Go Help’s Board of Trustees. Increasing income while decreasing expenditure enabled us to increase the charity’s total funds by 75.4% to £100,124. The charity’s finances are strong, putting us on a strong footing to invest in the future of Go Help. We’ve expanded the financial reporting section in this year’s Annual Report to include a narrative description of our accounts, to help you better understand how our charity operates. Check out our the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations For the Year Ended 30 September 2013” if you’d like to find out more about how we did in the last financial year.

Charity Rallies runs three events currently: the Mongolia Charity Rally from London to Mongolia; the Roof of the World Charity Rally from London to Tajikistan; and the MesoAmerica Charity Rally, from San Diego to Honduras. The 2013 editions of these awesome events saw us increase team sign ups to our events by 97.3% over the 2012 editions to 73 teams. Go Help aims to pass 100% of the funds that its teams raise on Charity Rallies events to its charity projects, and to fund administrative and overhead costs from team entry fees to its Charity Rallies events. Increasing the number of Charity Rallies teams is therefore an important objective for Go Help in the years to come.

Volunteers play an essential part in the success of Go Help. Thank you to all of our volunteers who play an essential part in helping this charity develop. As we grow, we’ve experienced the need to enhance the support and management of our volunteer base. In the last financial year, we invested in bringing Joanna Meade on board as our Rally Commander for our Charity Rallies events, to ensure a high quality team experience, and to ensure constant contact with our volunteer base.

We couldn’t fund our charity projects without our brave charity ralliers. Thank you ever so much to those of you who braved 10,000 mile expeditions to support us, and remember that you’re always welcome to join us as volunteers! Lastly, thank you to our teams in Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Honduras, without whom this banner year would not have been possible.

We hope you enjoy reading this Annual Report as much as we’ve enjoyed what goes into putting it together: teamwork, with a twist of charitable adventuring.

David Griffiths Chairman of the Board on behalf of the Board of Trustees:

Dulguun Batkhishig, William Dodsworth, Charlie Hogg, David Treanor, and Ryan Walker.

GO HELP – WHO WE AREThe Board of Trustees of Go Help presents their report and Go Help’s financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2013.

Go Help is a UK adventure charity that is committed to working with local communities in Central Asia and Central America to improve their access to education and healthcare services. It is run largely by volunteers, and begun as an effort to launch and operate ambulance services in third world countries. The cause is now much broader and we endeavour to help local organisations in any way we can.

Our charitable activities are largely in the fields of healthcare and education.

Go Help’s core objectives include:• To promote charitable adventuring;

• To enable access to primary healthcare through the provision, distribution and maintenance of emergency vehicles;

• To foster local talent, through providing scholarships and employment opportunities for young people;

• To support education projects which provide opportunities for literacy and self-improvement;

• To facilitate the placement of skilled health and education volunteers with the aim of enhancing the capacity of local communities.

Go Help is staffed almost solely by volunteers and most are past ralliers. As part of Go Help, enterprising ralliers have pioneered and trialed a number of other projects in recent years, including an ambulance to Nepal and tuk-tuks through the Cambodian jungles. There are always new and great ideas in the pipeline.

CHARITY RALLIES – WHAT WE DOCharity Rallies is the fundraising arm of Go Help. Under this umbrella, Go Help currently runs three rallies: the Mongolia Charity Rally, from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia; the Roof of the World Charity Rally, from London to Dushanbe, Tajikistan; and the MesoAmerica Charity Rally from San Diego to Siguatepeque, Honduras. Each of these works with different projects in the destination country, all within the fields of healthcare and education.

Go Help’s flagship Rally, the Mongolia Charity Rally has been running since 2008. With an established office in Ulaanbaatar, a dedicated team with contacts to the Mongolian Government, as well as a host of successful partnerships with local projects, the Mongolia Charity Rally pulls in 40-50 teams a year. The Mongolia Charity Rally is an epic 10,000 mile pan-continental road trip for charity across mountain ranges, deserts, and more barren and inhospitable lands than you’d care to shake a gear stick at. It traditionally starts in London, though the starting point is entirely flexible, and ends in the ancient Mongol capital of Ulaanbaatar.

The Roof of the World Charity Rally was started by former ralliers who took part in the Mongolia Charity Rally several years before. Following their visit to Tajikistan and the realisation that the country is in need of help, Go Help assisted these volunteers in setting up the rally which treks some of the most dangerous high altitude roads in Asia. On the ground in Tajikistan Go Help employs a small office that helps the ralliers with vehicle donation, paperwork and general admin, as well as keeping up the relationships with our projects in the country.

The MesoAmerica Charity Rally, the newest of the Charity Rallies, ran a successful test run in 2011 that saw two U.S. ambulances donated to Siguatepeque and Comayagua in Honduras. These ambulances have since been put into active practice and have seen the fruits of the labour of the ralliers. The progress and use of the ambulances is regularly monitored by Go Help volunteers. The relationships built during this test run were positive and long-lasting, and 2013 was spent preparing for this rally to open to the public, which it did in the summer of 2014.

OUR ADDED VALUE

Since its inception in 2008, Go Help’s fundraising arm, Charity Rallies, has strived to make all its adventure fundraising events as good as they can be. We have spent years building strong relationships both at home in the UK, and on the ground in Mongolia. Our dedicated office in Mongolia’s ancient capital of Ulaanbaatar is manned by a small but impressive team of locals who have the contacts, the know-how and the enthusiasm to help us and lead our partner projects.

Our efforts to work hand in hand with local partners has earned us a positive reputation with the Mongolian authorities with whom we have regular contact, to ensure that our endeavours always remain an asset and never become a hindrance. We have undertaken various analysis and research projects to help us determine the gaps that we can fill in Mongolia, and how best to go about this.

This reputation extends to our partnerships with established associations such as the London Ambulance Service and Save the Children. These relationships are important to us and we work hard to maintain them. Our personal attention to our teams, our cause and fundraising projects sets us apart from others. Keeping our rallies small we ensure a personal service, an ability to respond in person in a timely fashion and interact personally with the teams. We are also able to keep the Charity run by volunteers, allowing for our 100% donation to charitable causes.

Our volunteers have experience, drive, charisma, and have all completed at least one of our rally events themselves. We can thus all give advice from experience, understand what teams are going through, the complexities of taking part in an event such as this, and can help in the best way possible.

Go Help is always there to help both the participating teams and the volunteers who work so hard to keep Charity Rallies a growing success.

8

Since Go Help opened its doors, we have worked hard to build on-going projects in Mongolia. Our flagship enterprise, the Ambulance Project, aims to facilitate the import of ambulances into the country. We also now run educational projects, including the Book House Project and the Mobile Library. 2013 also saw the beginning of the planning phase of a new mobile library project, utilising a city bus driven from Belgium, that will be active from late 2014.

Go Help’s projects aim to provide benefit and support to disadvantaged children in marginalised communities in Mongolia. The centers we have funded and continue to work with provide teaching, activities, educational materials and a welcoming space to learn.

Go Help projects are needed by the community. After a series of very severe winters (or dzuds) in Mongolia many traditionally nomadic families have found themselves forced to move into urban areas to find other work. In May 2010 the UN estimated that in one winter, around 17% of the entire country’s livestock perished, leaving thousands without any source of food or income.

Consequently the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, has seen significant urban sprawl, and poverty on an enormous scale. Unfortunately, many children do not have the relevant documentation required to enroll in state run schools, many of the existing state school are not able to provide capacity to take in new children, and thus many children and teenagers cannot access formal education. Go Help’s Book House Project is providing a crucial point of access to non-formal education and provides learning materials, learning activities and a safe environment for all children as well as provides a focal point for the community.

OUR CHARITY PROJECTS

The Ambulance Project in Mongolia

Through the Mongolia Charity Rally, Go Help has procured the donation of ambulances to hospitals, clinics and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in Mongolia. Since the charity was founded, 24 ambulances have been donated to Go Help, which were then in turn either donated to hospitals, clinics and NGOs, or retained for use in charity projects.

Through its staff in Ulaanbaatar, Go Help works to better understand the shortfall in emergency vehicles in Mongolia, both through independent research and through contacts with the Mongolian Government.

After donating 22 ambulances between 2008 and 2012, Go Help encountered some of the pitfalls of full ambulance donation and began structuring a new leasing arrangement that allows for better monitoring, collecting of data, maintainance and ensuring appropriate usage of the ambulances we donate. While the leasing of the ambulances to clinics, NGOs and hospitals bears no cost for the lessee, the on-going

monitoring we undertake provides reassurance and incentives to the lessee to look after the ambulances that have been provided to them.

2013 has seen the implementation of this new leasing system to improve the results of the Ambulance Project. The following changes have been introduced to this effect:

• Official partnership with local hospitals

• Provision of a seasonal report

• Frequent monitoring of the project

• Public promotion of the project in 2012-2013

Statistics for our ambulance usage are as follows:

The Ambulance Project 2014: The Future of the Project The leasing stage of the Ambulance Project started in March 2012 with five ambulances to be leased by June 2012 from Go Help’s inventory. Since then two more ambulances have been added to the programme.

Looking ahead to 2014, Go Help aims to:

• Expand cooperation between Go Help and the hospitals involved in the project; • Increase the budget to further expand the scope of the project; • Include health education, preventative exams and immunisation in the core tasks of the project; and • Begin training sessions for hospital medical staff on communication skills, medical english and foreign opportunities.

OUR CHARITY PROJECTS

The Ambulance Project in Tajikistan Go Help began the Ambulance Project in Tajikistan in 2009. From initially donating one ambulance per year, we are now averaging three ambulances every year, all of which are fully equipped. To date we have facilitated the donation of nine ambulances and these vehicles are providing services to roughly half a million people.

Our project began through a partnership with a local British NGO called Sworde-Teppa, based in the southern city of Kurghan-Tyube. It was through this partner charity that we initially assessed the need for ambulances in Kurghan-Tyube and found that in a city of approximately 80,000 people, they had no medically equipped emergency vehicles and very much needed one. Two ambulances have been donated to this city and are currently working in the main city hospital and the maternity hospital.

Go Help received an anonymous grant from a charitable foundation in 2011 that allowed for a research trip to Tajikistan. This trip was to help build partner and government links to enable the donation and monitoring of more ambulances across a wider area, and to undertake research as to what the current needs of the country were for emergency vehicles. This research concluded that there was a massive unmet need for emergency vehicles (circa 700) and a range of medical

equipment across the country. An extensive survey of the medical requirement for ambulances across Tajikistan is ongoing, with input from both UK and Tajik staff and volunteers, and from the Tajikistan Ministry of Health.

Go Help has recently brought on board our first member of local staff who is providing us with a greater capacity to administer the project. Over the last year Go Help has made improvements to the monitoring and evaluation of our impact. We are developing contact networks covering numerous hospitals in many regions and developing enhanced ambulance repair abilities, all of which are strengthening the foundations of the project. Expansion into the more remote areas of the country is planned in the coming years. This will be a long term challenge as the benefits to rural communities having access to emergency healthcare is greater whilst the financial and logistical undertaking of Go Help in keeping these ambulances running will be one of the more complex challenges going forward, compounded by the geography of the country and lack of infrastructure. We will need to bring in further funding to the project as the numbers of ambulances grow and our staff and our office develop, and we will be endeavouring constantly to make the project as sustainable as possible.

OUR CHARITY PROJECTS

The Book House Project The Book House was opened in a deprived area of the Nalaikh district on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. This project aims to increase the reading, writing, listening and speaking skills of the local children, but also provides space for mothers and retired people to use for reading and socialising. Go Help, through our librarian, Binya, organises regular activities and projects such as arts and crafts lessons, English lessons and computer courses. There are frequent competitions for the children too, such as drawing, poetry and singing competitions.

The Book House is located at the heart of the community where over 20 children between the ages of 9-16 use the services daily. We also have children of the Nalaikh district taking part in English lessons taught by our volunteers.

The Book House is at the top of our list of projects to receive additional funding this year to meet the need for essential equipment and facilities, including the installation of electricity, heating and further learning materials.

• A total of 5,132 children study in four schools of Nalaikh District.

• 647 children live in the third district, where the Book House operates.

• In 2013, the Book House was visited by 2,499 children.

• 25 children signed up for membership in 2013.

OUR CHARITY PROJECTS

The Mobile Library Project

Our achievements:

The Mobile Library Project did not run in 2013. However, the year was spent planning for a new mobile library following the donation of a bus from a Belgian team in 2012. This project is set to be put into action in the second half of 2014.

The, as yet unnamed, mobile library and Internet service is a project designed to meet the information needs of under- or inadequately served people, especially children and young people living in rural areas. Objectives for 2014:

• To impart a love of reading to children;

• To enrich the learning experience for children in need;

• To provide library and Internet services to villages and city suburbs that have no library buildings;

• To create an environment for children and their parents to spend their free time learning and developing their skills and knowledge; and

• To service groups of those who have difficulty accessing libraries, e.g. occupants of retirement homes, home-bound people without anyone to go to the library for them.

So far, two routes have been selected based on their distance from the city and the availability of local libraries and Internet service.

The new bus has had a complete interior and exterior revamp; deisgned by Martin Hsu, a San Francisco based illustrator, who previously worked for Disney and Nickelodeon. He has agreed to donate his time and our team is now working hand in hand with him to get the project off the ground.

We have found an experienced local interior designer with knowledge of library design, to help with the layout of the interior.

Go Help has also been in discussions with the Mongolian Libraries’ Consortium, an association of Mongolian libraries, who are eager to collaborate with us on the project.

Their role will be to provide human resources (teachers, librarians) and book loans from different libraries during the summer months, when most of the libraries’ activities decrease.

OUR CHARITY PROJECTS

Go Help Scholarship Programme

The Go Help Scholarship Programme is aimed at students in Ulaanbaatar, from lower economic backgrounds who struggle with the increasing tuition fees at universities. Go Help had already supported a student called Khalii through her accountancy degree for two years, and following on from that Go Help decided to increase the number of students supported, resulting in ten scholarships last year. The students are from varying disciplines of study and all have basic conversational and written English. Their participation in Go Help and our projects has been immeasurable in enhancing the achievement of Go Help’s aims and objects. Their regular participation in

volunteer activities at charity projects has allowed Go Help operate more efficiently and afford us the chance to expand our work and reach out to more projects. In return the students are able to study, rather than work part-time in an unregulated environment, and gain valuable experience, improving their English and their levels of professionalism. Each of our students has a role within Go Help and works towards improving their skills and giving back to the organisation and the local community.

Since 2012, 10 new students are involved in the programme under the new selection criteria.

Evaluation and Research Go Help recognises the need to demonstrate the effectiveness and outcome of its work and has begun the process of developing a monitoring and evaluation strategy in order to do so. This is something that is being developed with our team in Mongolia. Go Help’s staff in Mongolia is being trained with respect to the information that needs to be collected, researched and communicated for the effective development of projects and the communication of results. Over the last year there have been great strides made in communication, particularly with the development of the Go Help website in Mongolian that they can control and add information to, to help our work with local partners.

The research for our charity projects is thorough with our Mongolian staff having great knowledge and contacts on the ground. Go Help opened an office in Tajikistan in 2013 and already works with other established charities working there, however for the development of the Ambulance Project a research trip was required (as there are no charity partners doing that work) and the charity was thrilled to receive a grant from a charitable trust that enabled that research to take place as well as lay the foundation for future ambulance donations.

OUR SUCCESSSince 2008, Go Help’s Charity Rallies have helped 260 teams raise money for third world countries.

That means 260+ vehicles, carrying 1000+ people, have driven a total of over three million miles, over the course of six years, raising an incredible £475,000, and counting, through Go Help.

We’ve worked on over 10 different projects with 20+ partners, watched teams get sponsorships from hundreds of companies, conquered new continents and grown from one to three rally events since 2008.

17

LOOKING AHEAD

Some of our aims for next year are:• To expand our network beyond the UK and increase European sign-ups.

• To further develop our online presence and social media networks.

• To build our network of student volunteers to increase visibility and marketing for the events.

• To redevelop our websites.

Increasing Go Help’s public profile In 2012 Go Help set out, and successfully achieved, our aims and objectives for 2013.

Go Help welcomed a new trustee on board. Dulguun Batkhishig, formerly head of our Mongolia office who became a trustee after many years of working with Go Help. She is currently based in Ulaanbaatar and is responsible for overseeing the Mongolia office and the projects on the ground.

Our volunteer policies have been developed and new plans are in place for developing a network of student volunteers over the course of 2014.

In 2012 one of our aims was to increase our online presence, a goal we achieved, and continued to work on throughout 2013. In 2014 our aim is to develop these platforms even further, extending our reach beyond the target audience we currently have and beyond geographical borders.

18

OUR PARTNERSThroughout our projects, and in close collaboration with our team in Mongolia, we have built strong relationships over the past few years with many associations, NGOs and government authorities. These bodies and the relationships we work so hard to maintain are very important to us. To date, in Mongolia we work with:

19

OUR PEOPLEGo Help has an office in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia that has to date been sponsored by a local business. The charity has a country representative/project manager, logistics expert and a mechanic. In addition, we fund a librarian in the Book House and we have between seven and nine Scholarship students who contribute in the Go Help office and community projects a minimum four hours a week each. We have also opened a small office in Tajikistan and in the coming year we aim to employ our first member of staff there. In opening this office we will attempt to replicate the success of our on-the-ground efforts in Mongolia.

The trustees, our Rally Commander and a core group of volunteers run all of the charity’s duties that fall outside the remit of the Mongolia staff. The additional paid roles within the charity over this year have been a retainer based website developer which moved to a voluntary basis later in the year, and a graphic designer for ad hoc marketing materials.

Go Help volunteers have been crucial to the charity and its development. The charity has volunteers of many different nationalities based in many different countries and they work across the spectrum of website development, accounting, event management, media and charity development. In addition the teams taking part in our events often add value by volunteering in community projects in Mongolia and donating much needed equipment such as ambulances and wish list items for children in orphanages and community centers.

GO HELP FUNDING SOURCESGo Help’s mission is to work with local communities to improve their access to education and healthcare services.

Go Help derives it’s principal funding from the following sources:(A) Go Help operates an internal fundraising platform under the Charity Rallies brand. Charity Rallies

organizes innovative fundraising events such as the Mongolia Charity Rally, an annual 10,000 mile pan continental drive from London, UK to Ulanbaatar, Mongolia. Go Help derives income from its Charity Rallies events a follows:

(1) Entry fees: participants in the events pay an entry to Go Help to take part in the events;

(2) Mandatory fundraising: Go Help’s fundraising events typically set a minimum fundraising amount that participants must fundraise before being able to participate in the events; and

(3) Donations of vehicles: Participants in Go Help’s events typically donate the vehicle that they use to participate in the event to Go Help. Go Help will then either

(a) use the vehicle in its existing charity projects;

(b) donate the vehicle to other governmental or non-governmental organizations that are deemed by Go Help to be appropriate beneficiaries; or

(c) sell the vehicle, with proceeds being used to support Go Help’s charitable mission.

(B) Go Help is the beneficiary of grant funding from external organizations which funds, among other things, charity projects and staff costs.

Go Help maintains a principal objective of maintaining low overheads and administrative costs by relying to the greatest extent possible on volunteer support to carry out its aims and objectives. Further to this aim, Go Help seeks to fund its overhead and administrative costs primarily from proceeds of entry fees to its events, and specific grants from external organizations. Go Help seeks to ensure that 100% of the funds raised for Go Help by participants in its events are passed through to charity projects.

Funding for Go Help’s charity projects comes primarily from funds raised by participants in Go Help’s events. Go Help’s principal charity projects are currently located in Mongolia, and are operated by Go Help staff in Mongolia. Prior to any funds being disbursed to fund its charity projects, Go Help’s board requires staff managing it’s charity projects to provide a budget for the charity project, which is then reviewed, negotiated, and either approved or rejected. Following the approval of a charity project budget, Go Help’s board will then authorize the disbursement of charity funds to fund it’s charity projects.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENTReference and administrative information set out in Appendix A hereto forms part of this report. The financial statements, in Appendix B, comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association of Go Help and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005).

Legal StructureGo Help is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17 September 2007 and its objects and powers are set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Go Help was registered at the charity commission on 20 April 2009.

Details of MemorandumThe Memorandum is the governing document of Go Help and prohibits any distribution of funds to the trustees of Go Help, other than for the proper reimbursement of costs incurred on the charity’s operations.

Methods of Recruiting and Appointing New TrusteesThe trustees have appointed a Chair and membership is open to other individuals: trustees may appoint additional individuals who can bring specific skills to the charity.

Trustees Induction and TrainingMost trustees are already familiar with the practical work of Go Help, having taken part in its existing fundraising events, where sources of fundraising, and Go Help’s supported charity projects, are observed. Training for any new trustees is provided as required, and trustees are regularly made aware of training courses that are available to them.

Organisational Structure and Decision MakingThe trustees hold regular meetings, and meet at least quarterly, to discuss the strategic direction of Go Help, to ensure its core aims and objects are being met in the most efficient way, to take account of any risks that Go

Help undertakes, and to ensure that all legal obligations are satisfied.

Outside of these quarterly meetings, the day to day business of Go Help is handled by the trustees and executive staff of Go Help.

Related PartiesThere are no subsidiaries, organisations or charities controlled by the same trustees.

Risk StatementThe trustees have considered the major risks faced by the charity and have put in place systems and controls to mitigate them. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Risks are continuously monitored, and reviewed at each trustee meeting.

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The greatest potential risk to Go Help in the short-term is a fall in funding from our international fundraising events we organise as this is where the vast proportion (over 90%) of Go Help’s charity and project funding originates from. The charity has to date managed to generate all its own unrestricted funds from one major event but relying on this one form of income from this event has limited the charities growth and made it vulnerable to external shocks.

Go Help is looking to lower the risk to the charity with a two pronged approach; by developing other events in different geographical locations and embarking on the process of diversifying our income streams via trusts and foundation funding. It’s hoped that by bringing in other funders we will bring external support to our charity projects, add some stability to the charity’s funds and allow further expansion and development. We will be applying to a range of donors for funding as well as developing the charity’s website to keep funders and supporters better informed about the development of projects and news. The implementation of this strategy should improve our financial sustainability.

Ensuring Go Help’s Work Delivers Our AimsWe review our aims, objectives and activities each year. Our 2013 review analysed our achievements and the outcome of our work in the previous 12 months, and in particular the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people that we are set up to Go Help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future objectives they have set.

How Go Help’s Activities Deliver Public BenefitThe trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing Go Help’s aims and objectives, and when planning its future activities. This report contains an explanation of the significant activities undertaken during the year in order to carry out the charity’s aims for the public benefit and also the achievements measured against the objectives set by the trustees.

Our principal activities in achieving our aims are:Partnerships – We prefer to work with small grassroots organisations that have a greater understanding of local needs and who have cost effective and useful projects benefiting the community. Go Help has worked with a range of partners and we use our resources to develop projects that are in difficulty to become more sustainable and to meet funding gaps.

Research and Learning – Our staff in Mongolia are heavily involved in research which helps to inform the feasibility and development of our projects. The Ambulance Project is grounded in research to enable the optimum benefit gained from our ambulance donations and placements. The research we undertook in Tajikistan this year was essential for enabling the development of the Ambulance Project as there is no published details of ambulance data for the country. All of

Go Help’s projects are continuously monitored, either by our own staff or through partner charities.

FINANCIAL REVIEWReserves policyThe trustees’ reserve policy ensures that Go Help maintains sufficient general fund reserves to be able to meet our essential charity commitments before facing an orderly curtailment of activities over three months if necessary.

Go Help’s reserve policy looks at the scenario of Go Help’s fundraising events being unable to run for one year and the totality of Go Help’s income being lost. This could happen under a number of scenarios such as a change in government policy or international unrest and it is a major risk identified by our risk management strategy.

Go Help’s reserves policy enables Go Help to have enough funds to continue the student scholarship placements as this is the only Go Help project that requires ongoing funding. In addition, Go Help has placed reserve status on what would be called wind up costs, or three months local office funding, to allow staff and projects to make any transitions necessary. These

combined costs equate to total reserves of £7,200. The policy is reviewed annually.

Main Sources of FundingGo Help receives funds principally from its fundraising events, the Mongolia Charity Rally, the Roof of the World Charity Rally and the MesoAmerica Charity Rally, which are long distance adventure driving events. These funds are split between entry fees, which cover Go Help’s administrative costs, if any, and donations, which form part of the grants that Go Help makes to charity projects.

For further information on Go Help’s funding sources, please refer to the Go Help Funding Sources section herein.

Investment PolicyAside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of Go Help’s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term

24

investment. Having considered the options available, the trustees have decided to retain the small amount that it has available in an interest bearing deposit account. While the overall return on long term investments and deposits are not ideal, given current circumstances in credit markets, the trustees consider this to be the most prudent of its options, and will review it on a regular basis to ensure that the decision continues to be the best one for Go Help.

How Go Help’s Expenditure Supports Its Charitable ObjectivesThe income of Go Help is applied solely towards the fulfillment of its charitable objects. Due to Go Help’s low administrative costs, 100% of funds received as donations will be passed on as grants to charity projects that Go Help supports.

Go Help’s Future PlansGo Help aims to continue to fulfill its charitable objects in the most effective, efficient and sustainable manner. Go Help plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Plans are also being developed to work on a number of new fundraising events which it is hoped will lead to an increase in the amount of funds available for Go Help to grant to new and existing charity projects.

Statement of Responsibilities of the trusteesThe trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Go Help and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of Go Help for the period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that Go Help will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of Go Help and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of Go Help and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to their financial statements of which their Independent Examiner is unaware. The trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant financial information and that this information has been communicated to the Independent Examiner.

Members of Go Help guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of Go Help in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 30 September 2013 was six. The trustees are members of Go Help but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in Go Help.

Approved by the trustees on 18 July 2014 and signed on their behalf by:

OUR ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Balance Sheet on page 4 and the Detailed Statement of Financial Activities for the Year Ended 30 September 2013, on Page 9 of Appendix B: The Report of the Trustees and Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2013 for Go Help.

Balance SheetTOTAL FUNDS increased by 75.4% to £100,124 in 2013 from £57,099 in 2012. This increase was due primarily to an increase in cash at bank in our Current Assets segment, and a decrease in amounts falling due within one year in our Creditors segment. Total Funds is equivalent to Net Assets and Total Assets Less Current Liabilities.

Net Current Assets is comprised of Current Assets less Creditors.

Net Current Assets increased by 81.1% to £98,440 in 2013 from £54,356 in 2012. This increase was driven by an increase in Cash at bank in our Current Assets segment and a decrease of amounts falling due within one year in our Creditors segment.

Fixed Assets is comprised of tangible assets.

Tangible assets are computers and other equipment purchased by the charity, and an inflatable arch purchased for Charity Rallies launch events. Tangible assets increased by 38.6% to £2,743 in 2013 from £1,684 in 2012. This is due to the depreciation charge in the year.

Current Assets is comprised of cash at bank.

Cash at bank increased by 24.8% to £113,382 in 2013 from £90,887 in 2012. The increase is due to an increase in incoming resources and a decrease in resources expended.

Creditors is made up of amounts falling due within one year.

Amounts falling due within one year is made up of deposits returnable to participants in Charity Rallies events and other liabilities at the year end. This line item decreased by 59.1% to £14,942 in 2013 from £36,531 in 2012. This decrease was primarily driven by a disbursement to a Go Help charity project of £25,236 being approved but unpaid at 30 September 2012, a situation which did not reoccur in 2013.

Funds is comprised of unrestricted funds and restricted funds.

(A) Unrestricted funds increased by 81.7% to £99,629 in 2013 from £54,818 in 2012. This increase was due primarily to an increase in Cash at bank in our Current Assets segment.

(B) Restricted funds decreased by 78.3%to £495 from £2,281. This decrease reflects us deploying grant funding as noted in the Grants in our Voluntary income segment.

Detailed Statement of Financial Activities for the Year Ended 30 September 2013

NET INCOME/(EXPENDITURE) is the income or expenditure that remains after deducting Go Help’s Resources Expended from Incoming Resources. The charity had a Net Income of £43,025 in 2013, while the charity’s expenditure was £5,670 in 2012. This difference was principally driven by an increase in event donations in our voluntary income segment, and a decrease in expenditure on Go Help charity projects in our charitable activities segment.

INCOMING RESOURCES increased by 35.5% to £78,512 in 2013 from £57,951 in 2012. Incoming resources is made up of voluntary income, activities for generating funds and Investment income. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in event donations in our voluntary income segment.

Voluntary income increased by 40.1% to £63,150 from £45,080. Voluntary income is made up of Event donations, Other donations and Grants. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in Event donations.

Event donations increased by 69.5% to £58,589 from £34,574. Event donations are made up of voluntary donations by teams taking part in events organised by our Charity Rallies platform. The number of teams taking part in Charity Rallies events increased by 97.3% to 73 teams, from 37 teams in 2012. This increase in the number of teams largely drives the increase in our event donations.

Other donations remained flat at £1,811 in 2013. Other donations in 2013 and 2012 principally reflects an annual donation that Go Help receives from a charity event in Brussels, Belgium run by the Brussels Press Association.

Grants decreased by 68.1% to £2,750 in 2013 from £8,615 in 2012. Go Help was fortunate to benefit from a Vodafone World of Difference programme grant in 2012, that it has received for a number of years, which has assisted in providing extra capacity at the Charity with staffing. This charitable grant programme was discontinued by Vodafone in 2013. The change in our grants income reflects Go Help not receiving any grants in 2013, and a residual amount remaining to be deployed following the 2012 grant. Go Help relies on voluntary fundraisers for its grant applications, and in 2013 Go Help was without a trust and foundations fundraiser. It is an area of development for Go Help as diversifying our sources of income and bringing in support for the charity’s projects is needed as part of our sustainable development.

Activities for generating funds is made up of event entry fees.

Event entry fees increased by 19.5% to £15,271 in 2013 from £12,774 in 2012. We receive entry fees for teams participating in our Charity Rallies events. We typically charge lower entry fees for teams who signup to our Charity Rallies events at the start of the signup process, and higher entry fees to teams who signup later, to encourage early signup and to ensure both that teams have sufficient time to prepare for their expeditions, while ensuring that the Charity Rallies team can forecast the capacity required of its volunteers to assist in organising the Charity Rallies events. The range of our signup fees is £99 to £499.

Investment income is made up of deposit account interest.

Deposit account interest remained flat, decreasing by 6.2% to £91 in 2013 from £97 in 2012, reflecting lower interest rates and lower cash balances.

27

RESOURCES EXPENDED decreased by 44.2% to £35,487 in 2013 from £63,621 in 2012. Resources expended is made up of costs of generating voluntary income, charitable activities and governance costs. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in Go help charity projects in our charitable activities segment.

Costs of generating voluntary income are the costs of promoting and running the Charity Rallies events. Costs of generating voluntary income increased by 34% to £24,511 in 2013 from £18,293 in 2012 and the breakdown of these costs are detailed in the following categories. The principal drivers to the increase are reflected below in the cost to the charity of hiring freelancers to assist the Charity Rallies team, after our Senior Project Manager, Sophie Willingale, transitioned to a volunteer role. As the number of Charity Rallies teams has increased, this has put a strain on volunteer resources and required the charity to hire freelancers to assist in growing the capacity of the Charity Rallies team, and to ensure high quality Charity Rallies events.

Event costs decreased by 32.6% to £5,519 in 2013 from £8,190 in 2012. Charity Rallies events launched from Horse Guards Parade in London in 2013, and from Woburn Safari Park in 2012. While the cost of launching Charity Rallies events from Horse Guards Parade is more expensive than Woburn Safari Park, Horse Guards Parade is more prestigious for the events and more convenient for teams. This cost was offset by investments in launch events in previous years (meaning that less additional equipment must be purchased by the charity), and bulk buying of promotional items in previous years at discounted prices, that benefited Charity Rallies events in 2013.

Insurance decreased by 88.8% to £53 in 2013 from £473 in 2012. The charity has made no changes to its existing insurance policies, and this decrease only reflects the timing of payments made on Go Help’s insurance policy.

Freelancers rose to £7,115 in 2013 from £0 in 2012, as detailed above.

Telephone costs increased by 80.2% to £164 in 2013 from £91 in 2012 due to an increase in the number of Charity Rallies teams and the charity’s objective of communicating regularly with all teams.

Postage and stationery costs increased by 135.2% to £995 in 2013 from £423 in 2012. This increase is driven in part by the increase in the number of Charity Rallies teams. In addition, in 2012, the charity distributed promotional items to teams (such as stickers and t-shirts) at events throughout the year. In 2013, it targeted distribution of promotional items only at the Charity Rallies launch event, thereby increasing the cost of postage to teams who did not or could not attend the launch event. Our postage costs are likely to increase as the number of international teams continues to rise.

Publicity and advertising increased by 194.7% to £4,485 in 2013 from £1,522 in 2012. This cost was due in large part to a concerted effort by the charity to promote its Charity Rallies events more online, and these costs are made up in large part of Facebook and Google advertising costs. The Charity Rallies platform also subscribes to online services such as Constant Contact and MailChimp (for email distribution), Issuu (for event guide display), and Pagemodo (for Facebook tabs), which also comprise this increase in advertising cost.

Travel and subsistence increased by 29.8% to £1,773 in 2013 from £1,366 in 2012. This increase was due to a charity volunteer visiting and auditing our operations in Tajikistan, and a primary freelancer being based in Belgium, and increased travel costs associated with travel to the UK.

Website costs decreased by 45.8% to £1,407 in 2013 from £2,594 in 2012. This decrease was due to the tragic death of our webmaster, Pete Barnett, in 2012, and our inability to replace this incredible man. We are now receiving probono assistance from a web company called Adaptive which is very appreciated but website costs are likely to increase over the next financial year due to current systems needing major redevelopment.

Bank charges increased by 14.7% to £1,034 in 2013 from £902 in 2012. Bank charges is principally made up of costs we incur using PayPal to receive event entry fees, and bank transfer fees incurred in repaying vehicle deposits to Charity Rallies teams and in transferring funds to our overseas operations. The charity regularly researches alternative funding platforms to decrease bank charges.

28

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets increased by 8.7% to £1,966 in 2013 from £1,808 in 2012 due to Go Help acquiring more tangible fixed assets, principally its inflatable archway and awning for Charity Rallies launch events.

Charitable activity costs decreased by 81.9% to £7,764 in 2013 from £42,960 in 2012. Charitable activity costs are made up of wages, payments to Go Help charity projects and grants to institutions.

Wages decreased by 59.4% to £5,634 in 2013 from £13,879 in 2012. This decrease was due to the discontinuance of the Vodafone World of Difference program and the transition of our Rally Commander, Sophie Willingale, to a volunteer role.

Go Help charity projects reflects transfers from Go Help to its affiliates in Mongolia and Tajikistan to support Go Help’s charity projects in those countries. This amount decreased by 99.7% to £52 in 2013 from £25,535 in 2012. Go Help funds projects its programs in Mongolia and Tajikistan as and when needed, following funding requests from its affiliates. No such funding requests were approved by Go Help in this financial period.

Grants to institutions decreased by 41% to £2,078 in 2013 from £3,546 in 2012. Grants in 2013 were principally made up of a £1,255 grant to Sworde Teppa (one of the Charity’s partners in Tajikistan).

Governance costs are costs associated with the general running of the charity and meeting statutory requirements. Governance costs are comprised of Wages, Training and books, Accountancy, Subscription and memberships, Professional fees, Sundries, Bookkeeping and Administration. Governance costs remained flat, decreasing by 2.4% to £3,212 in 2013 from £3,292 in 2012. There were no trustees’ remuneration or other benefits in 2013, nor for 2012. There were no trustees’ expenses paid for 2013, nor for 2012.

Wages related to governance costs were £833 in 2013. There were no wages related to governance costs in 2012. The Charity must incur costs in meeting, among other things, its statutory reporting requirements, and these wages reflect this reality.

Training and books increased by 243% to £789 in 2013 from £230 in 2012 reflecting that volunteers took advantage of funding available from a grant received from The National Lottery in 2011 by attending various training courses to increase their skills.

Accountancy reflects the costs of preparing our financial statements. These costs decreased by 67.8% to £500 in 2013 from £1,551 in 2012. The Charity is focused on developing internal controls and reporting to ensure the efficient financial management of the organization. The decrease in accountancy costs reflects the success of the Charity’s move to standardise financial reporting.

Subscriptions and memberships decreased by 100% to £0 in 2013 from £49 in 2012. The Charity did not incur any subscription and membership costs in 2013.

Professional fees decreased by 100% to £0 in 2013 from £924 in 2012. The Charity did not incur any professional fees in 2013.

Sundries increased by 247.7% to £452 in 2013 from £130 in 2012. Sundries reflects costs associated with governing the charity that are not otherwise categorised, such as Companies House filing fees.

Bookkeeping remained flat at £408 in both 2013 and 2012.

Administration costs of £230 were incurred in 2013. No administration costs were incurred in 2012. Administration reflects administrative costs incurred in connection with governing the Charity.
