2015
Welcome to the CW2015 Annual Report
Assalaamu alaikum,
Every year, we select a theme for Charity Week that allows us to keep things fresh whilst still adhering to our core vision. This year we chose “books” as our theme and as the months went by, we realised more and more why that was an excellent choice.
Books play a central part in our lives. They provide information that we use in our studies. They hold stories that are passed down from one generation to the next. Books define cultures and civilisations. Holy books are central to most world faiths.
The report that you have before you is the book of Charity Week 2015. It shows the highs and lows during a year of great contrasts. It has exciting new chapters titled USA and Germany, but also more challenging ones highlighting areas that we need to improve on.
However, more important than all the details, the stories and the stats is the realisation that this project is slowly and surely moving us all towards the vision of unity. We pray that it will serve as a legacy for everyone involved and feature prominently in the most significant book of all - our book of deeds.
Till the day we are #AllOnTheSamePage
Your Charity Week Team
We’d like to tell you a story
A special thanks to all staff at Islamic Relief worldwide, Islamic Relief UK, Islamic Relief Germany, Islamic Relief USA & Reach Out To Asia

Calculating the appropriate quantities of printed materials and fundraising materials continues to be one of the biggest
technical challenges in running Charity Week - and this is only because we continue to prioritise efficiency. In the cases of UK
regions, Qatar and Canada, i.e. countries that have previously participated in Charity Week, pennyboxes and buckets from
previous years were re-used. The figures below are the quantities of resources that were required to deliver CW2015.

7Charity Week Annual Report
2015
The money spent to deliver Charity Week is an amanah, entrusted to us to use with care and for the intended purpose. This is money that could have gone directly to the poor, but instead it has been invested into the campaign. It is up to us to spend it with care and ensure that the return is excellent.

In the UK, our policy of asking regions to track and return buckets and pennyboxes has proven to be an effective way to reduce costs. We hope to encourage a similar system in our other participating countries.

2015
Having a team that is spread across an entire country (or several countries) makes it difficult to get that team spirit and excitement going. Many people can work together in Charity Week for an entire year and never meet in person.
The solution we came up in the UK was Assemble. Not only did this ambitious event address team bonding, but it included training to ensure consistency and constant improvement in our delivery of CW. Talks were delivered by experienced Charity Weekers. There were ice breakers as well as break out rooms for regions and departments, ensuring an enjoyable yet productive way to train every member of the Charity Week team.
Training our Teams
The event ran to schedule, starting and finishing right on time.. it had to, otherwise the
Scots would have missed their flights home!
The Ted-style Talk titles included:
What if Apple ran Charity Week?
Islamic Relief & Charity Week: relationship status

Where the Money GoesOne of the unique benefits of being part of Charity Week is that every single volunteer gets to have a say in where all of the money goes. We organised Charity Week together, we raised the funds together, therefore it only makes sense to spend it together.
GAZ
A
The Issues • >3,600 newborns in Gaza need intensive care
each year
• The NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) is NOT able to cope
• >75% of these sick newborns end up dying
• This is one reason why the infant mortality rate in Gaza is rising to more than 20 per 1000
• Also, studies indicate that almost 70% of Gazan children suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
How have you changed things?• 3,600 sick newborns a year given life saving
treatment and care
• Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Monitors, 2 transport incubators, neonatal medications
• 140 doctors taught in 3 neonatal support courses per year
• 24 nurses given specialist training in NICU at Al-Maqqasad Hospital in Jerusalem

• The majority of refugee families have left everything behind
• They have no source of income and no way to protect themselves against the harsh winter

• 1 stove
• 2 sets of childrens boots and clothes
• Priority given to unaccompanied children, special needs and households run by single mothers

• Many teachers and others have fled, leaving few skilled
personnel to run a school
• There are only 3 medical doctors for 430,000 people in
the coastal areas of Rakhine state
• This lack of medical care means that many vulnerable
people are suffering & dying from treatable conditions
• Unfortunately, due to ongoing persecution, these
communities are inaccessible except by boat
How have you changed things?• 2 boats have been fitted out as boat clinics, containing
a pathology lab, ultrasound machine and x-ray facilities
and a fully stocked pharmacy with lifesaving drugs
• They have doctors, nurses and other health care
professionals

24Charity Week Annual Report
2015
Starting the Next ChapterCharity Week 2015 was an eventful yearFrom having two new countries come on board to seeing the maturing of the project in UK, Canada and Qatar - there were many reasons to be grateful. But possibly the best moment of all came right at the end with the International Dinner held in Manchester.
Unseasonably high winds meant that the beautiful marquee we had set up was unsafe to stay in. 45 minutes before start time, we made the decision to move everyone and everything to another venue across the city.
A catastrophic turn of events that would have broken many, became the highlight of the year as the entire Charity Week team rolled up their sleeves and worked like a well oiled machine to pack up what we spent hours laying out and move it to a new venue in time for our guests. That evening we proved that nothing is impossible if we stand united.
As preparation for CW2016 is already underway, we hope to learn from our mistakes and improve furthermore - but not forgetting all the stories we’ve lived along the way.
Cue mass hysteria! At 00:00 Fri Nov 13th the Charity Week UK team panicked as the fundraising pages went down. Posts were
going out left, right & centre on social media. Messages were being sent out from the institutional to national levels.
The fundraising pages were back less than 15 minutes later.
