What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: five months of unrestricted expenditure (held: £10.1m)
To support the Country Programmes and UK operations for up to five months — page 31
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document explicitly states 'There were no related party transactions during the year' in Note 15. However, Note 4(b) discloses 'Trustee Expenses' of £2,761, and Note 7 clarifies these were reimbursements for travel costs for one trustee. Per rule 6b, reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses alone is NOT a trustee payment. Note 16 discloses a trading subsidiary, but this is a standard corporate structure disclosure, not typically a 'related party transaction' in the sense of arm's length dealings with connected persons unless specified as such. Note 15 is the definitive statement on related party transactions.
