Trustees' Report
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charitable objects of MOAS (UK) are set out in the Articles of Association.
To save lives of, and relieve the sickness and other suffering of migrants, refugees and others who are displaced or adversely affected by armed conflict, natural disaster or other humanitarian crisis anywhere in the world.
MOAS(UK) is an independent UK registered charity but it is worth noting that the Malta based charity MOAS, with whom we work closely, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024.  Since its creation in 2014, MOAS has saved over 200,000 lives from sea rescues in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea to the provision of aid in conflict ones like Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and Ukraine.
Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
MOAS (UK) trustees have paid due regard to the 'public benefit' as guided by the Charity Commission and the MOAS life-saving missing in Ukraine and famine relief missions are evidence of this.
Advocacy
MOAS is mindful that changes in the earth’s climate provide a driving force for the displacement of communities and migration in search of food and water.  MOAS uses its social media platforms to educate on the realities of climate driven refugees and to highlight the need for policy solutions.  
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Ukraine Mission
The main focus for MOAS(UK) in 2025 was the continuation of the vital medical mission in Ukraine. This is now overwhelmingly dedicated to the evacuation of critically injured soldiers from the front line and providing life-saving medical care.  Since the start of the full-scale invasion, MOAS has evacuated over 70,000 patients using its fleet of 50 ambulances and 150 Ukrainian doctors, nurses and drivers.  15,000 lives were saved in 2025 alone. A film of MOAS’ work in Ukraine can be viewed on YouTube – “Hope under Fire”. 
The Ukraine mission is based around the fleet of emergency response vehicles with different specifications and capacities, including mobile medical team base units, critical care transport vehicles, secure resupply and logistics vehicles and personnel deployment vehicles.  The vehicles are equipped with portable medical supplies, stocks of pharmaceuticals and state of the art equipment that allows the teams to provide both basic and advanced life support, advanced clinical interventions, transport and triage, as well as some more expanded critical care medical interventions as and when needed. Each vehicle is manned by two licensed medical personnel and a local driver/cultural mediator.  As many patients as possible are triaged, treated and released in the field, but the most critical and high-risk cases are then transported by MOAS teams in critical care transport vehicles to higher echelons of care, away from the front lines, for surgery and further intervention.
The role of MOAS(UK) during this period has been the processing of donations received primarily from the UK in order to support the Ukraine mission.  MOAS(UK) is kept up to date with the mission through regular contact with the MOAS Head of the Ukraine mission based in Kiev and with MOAS in Malta.  
One significant development in 2025 was the completion of an agreement with the Ukrainian Ministry of Health through which some of MOAS’ activity can be supported directly by the Ministry.   Unfortunately, despite this very welcome change, the life-saving mission in Ukraine is facing a funding crisis as donor sources run dry.  The operation costs around $1 million per month and unless new sources of funding can be found quickly the mission is under threat of closure. This does not affect the financial viability of the other charitable work or of MOAS(UK) itself.
Yemen Somalia and Sudan
...CONTINUED
Page 1
Page 2
Main Achievements - continued
The need for humanitarian aid deliveries to other troubled parts of the World has certainly not diminished and nutritional aid has been sent to Yemen, Somalia and Sudan.  These missions target acute malnutrition among children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.  Since 2019, almost 400 tonnes of life-saving therapeutic food and vital medical supplies have been delivered.
Training and Disaster Risk Reduction
MOAS remains committed to Resilience-building and Disaster Risk Reduction for vulnerable communities, such as refugees, worldwide. MOAS provides consultancy services, technical advice and specific equipment which assist local partners respond to the issues posed by water and fire in refugee camps worldwide.
MOAS provides technical advice to volunteers in refugee camps and nearby host communities.  Having spent several years on the front line of training support, MOAS is now a silent observer of training being delivered by independent local trainers. More than 3,000 volunteers have been provided with training and technical advice on fire and water safety. All this is done with the support of international organisations on the ground and in collaboration with local partners. 
Financial Review
Financial Position
Net expenditure for the year was £34,324 (2024 £218,525), with net expenditure of £20,000 attributable to restricted funds (2024 £34,384) and a balance at the year end of zero (2024 £20,000). The net expenditure of unrestricted funds was £14,324 (2024 £184,141) and the balance of funds at the year end was £81,579 (2024 £95,903).]
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to maintain reserves at a level that equates to one year’s essential administration costs. At the year end, the free reserves were £81,581 which equates to more than 10 years of expenditure based on the last financial year. 
Going Concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resource to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months.  For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Risk management
The trustees have carried out a review to identify the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that policies in place are sufficient to mitigate risk.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) 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).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) UK
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.
