The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued in October 2019).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Friends of Palestinian Universities (formerly The Friends of Birzeit University of Palestinian Universities was established in 1978, registered with the Charity Commission in 1979 and subsequently incorporated as a company limited by guarantee in 2006. Friends of Palestinian Universities is governed in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustees, who are also directors of the company, are appointed for a 3-year term that may be renewed. When considering new trustees, desired skills and experience are assessed prior to a meeting between board members and the potential trustee. New trustees are inducted to the work and ethos of the charity. The Board of Trustees meets at least 4 times a year. Day-to-day management is delegated to the Director, who is accountable to and supervised by the Board.

The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by trustees, are regularly reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks. The major risks facing Friends of Palestinian Universities are:

- financial performance, notably continuity of incoming funds to sustain operations;

- availability of expertise and resources for day to day operations;

- operational performance, including bank de-risking and risks to staff when operating in a conflict zone;

- the profile and reputation of the Charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Friends of Palestinian Universities objects are to "promote the advancement of education of Palestinians seeking educational opportunities at higher education institutions and/or through educational, community or cultural programmes in such ways as the Directors see fit."

The charity is extending opportunities and providing access to education to young Palestinians at educational institutions in the West Bank and Gaza.

The principal strands of activities carried out by Friends of Palestinian Universities for the public benefit are:

- Academic scholarships: supporting Palestinian students in financial need through scholarships and a hardship fund;

- Building Higher Education Links: facilitating links and understanding between UK and Palestinian students, educators and higher education institutions;

- Advocacy and Awareness: raising awareness in the UK amongst the higher education sector, government officials, parliamentarians, diplomats and the general public, of the barriers to education for Palestinians.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Academic Scholarships

The scholarship programme comprises scholarships at Birzeit University, and joint Friends of Palestinian Universities-UNRWA scholarships for Palestinian refugee students. Scholarships are provided on the basis of financial need and academic merit.

The scholarship programme in Gaza, delivered in partnership with UNRWA, was temporarily suspended as a result of the outbreak of war in October 2023. The destruction of the university campuses halted teaching for most of the academic year, only to be resumed in the Spring.

Friends of Palestinian Universities endowments are:

- Adela Every Scholarship: funds a female student from villages or refugee camps.

- Doreen Ingrams Scholarship: funds one or more female students with special needs.

- Peter Holliday Scholarship: funds female students facing financial hardship.

Friends of Palestinian Universities also runs multi-year scholarships supported by sponsoring donors. Multi-year scholarships typically cover tuition fees and a scholarship administration fee. Sponsoring donors are consulted on specific requirements such as: gender, place of residence, academic record, faculty or subject, special needs. Sponsors are kept informed of their students' progress through personal student statements and academic reports.

A Hardship Fund is also in place to provide scholarships or alternatively, small grants to cover books, accommodation, transportation and housing, or subsidies students tuition fees at Birzeit University.

In 2024/25, Friends of Palestinian Universities provided 20 undergraduate scholarships and one masters scholarships to a students at Birzeit University through its partnership with Birzeit University and Welfare Association. We also continued to support three scholars in Gaza through our partnership with UNRWA.

Advocacy & Awareness

Friends of Palestinian Universities Advocacy & Awareness programme in 2024/25 focused on building understanding of the devastating impact of the war on Gaza on Palestinian higher education, while amplifying the voices of Palestinian academics, students and university leaders. We worked to communicate a core message: despite the destruction of campuses, infrastructure and academic life in Gaza, Gaza's universities continue to exist and require sustained institutional support. Through our "Our Universities Live On" series, public briefings, articles, blogs, webinars and social media content, we highlighted the resilience of students and staff continuing to teach, learn and research under extreme conditions.

During the year, Friends of Palestinian Universities played a leading role in convening and informing the UK higher education sector response. We participated actively in the UK Higher Education Humanitarian Working Group on Gaza alongside representatives Universities UK International, CARA, the British Council and university leaders, and helped advance discussions on coordinated sector-wide support. We also supported direct engagement between Gaza's university leadership and UK higher education institutions, including a meeting co-convened with Universities UK International where the Presidents of Gaza's non-profit universities addressed UK Vice-Chancellors and senior university representatives. Friends of Palestinian Universities also continued to facilitate and promote the work of the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza as the representative body of the higher education sector in Gaza.

The programme included a wide range of public and sector-facing activity, including webinars in the Education, Occupation & Liberation series, co-convened with UCU, briefings on scholasticide and the Emergency Committee, parliamentary and university events, contributions to conferences in the UK and internationally, and the co-organisation of a major education conference on "Responding to Scholasticide in Gaza" with UKFIET. Friends of Palestinian Universities also launched a research project on 'scholasticide' with international scholars of education.

Building Higher Education Links

Friends of Palestinian Universities Building Higher Education Links programme in 2024/25 focused on strengthening institutional partnerships and exchange between Palestinian and UK universities and faculty, with a particular emphasis on supporting Gaza's higher education sector through the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza. We continued to provide direct support to the Committee, including convening regular strategy meetings, preparing briefings on emerging policy developments, and developing practical models for institutional collaboration. Alongside this, we advanced sector-wide engagement by supporting the representation of the Committee in international fora and contributing to its initiatives mobilising assistance to Gaza's non-profit universities in Gaza.

A major milestone in the year was the development and launch of Partnerships with Palestine: A practical guide to UK-Palestinian higher education institutional collaboration, produced with partners at the University of Bristol and the University of Oxford. The guide has been widely promoted across the UK higher education sector and has informed the development of new partnerships and proposed mechanisms for UK university coordination in support of Palestinian higher education. Friends of Palestinian Universities also supported and promoted the expansion of virtual fellowship and research collaboration models, with programmes established at the University of Bristol, the University of St Andrews and under development at other institutions. Through initiatives such as the PALS Fellowship Programme and targeted partnership development with institutions including UCL and Oxford, the programme has contributed to building sustainable, institution-led links that support teaching, research and academic exchange in line with the priorities of Palestinian universities.

FUTURE PLANS

In the coming year, the Trustees will focus on strengthening the charity's capacity to deliver its objectives at a time of significant need. This will include modest expansion of staff capacity to support programme delivery, partnerships and fundraising, alongside a planned rebranding to reflect the organisation's sector-wide focus.

A key priority will be to support more coordinated engagement across the UK higher education sector in response to the crisis facing Gaza's universities. The charity will work with partners to mobilise institutional resources, develop partnerships and promote approaches that strengthen Palestinian higher education institutions. This will be accompanied by continued efforts to raise awareness of the challenges facing Palestinian higher education, including through research, public engagement and sector-facing guidance.

Alongside this, the Trustees will focus on advancing a sustainable fundraising strategy to diversify income and support the charity's long-term work. A review of the scholarship programme will also be undertaken to ensure it remains relevant and aligned with the evolving needs of the Palestinian higher education sector.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Friends of Palestinian Universities recorded an income over expenditure of £71,130 in fiscal year 2025 (2024: deficit of income over expenditure £7,553). Despite ongoing economic and political uncertainties, the charity has made progress in fundraising while maintaining adequate reserves. The trustees will aim to prioritise the need to secure sufficient income streams in order to sustain and expand programmes in response to growing needs on the ground.

In the past year, Friends of Palestinian Universities has taken important steps towards diversifying its funding base and building institutional support. Notably, the charity held its annual away day, which culminated in the further development of a strategy for fundraising and programme development. Implementation began in late 2023, with an emphasis on securing institutional funding to meet the urgent needs arising from the crisis in the Palestinian higher education sector and to support increased organisational capacity. Expanding funding streams remains essential to the long-term viability of Friends of Palestinian Universities work and its ability to scale impact.

The trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. Treasury activities aim to ensure sufficient liquidity for Friends of Palestinian Universities operational needs while minimising risk in a cost-effective manner.

Reserves Policy

The trustees aim to maintain reserves at a level equivalent to approximately six months of management and administrative costs in unrestricted funds, after accounting for known scholarship commitments. This provides a financial cushion in the event of unforeseen circumstances and helps safeguard the continuity of the charity's work.

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.

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

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charity information

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity.

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds comprise general funds created by the accumulated surplus within the statement of financial activities. They are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds represent amounts received for a specific purpose, which have not yet been fully spent, on that purpose by the year end.

Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust Wellbeing Fund - This fund provides support for the wellbeing of Fobzu staff, university students and faculty.

The board took the decision in 2021 that future annual scholarship sponsorships should be recorded as unrestricted funds in order to ensure the efficient use of resources. Existing donors were consulted about this change and their agreement secured.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset

.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings on a time spent basis:

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of fundraising activities and their associated support costs.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of scholarship, advocacy, awareness and academic activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include payroll and governance costs which support the programmes. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fitting and equipment 5 years straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Fixed asset Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial instruments

The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Employee Benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense when they fall due.
