Achievements during the year Anglo-lndian Concern raises funds to 5UPPOrt charitsble work in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. This 15 done in partnership with the registered Indian charity The Vine Charitable Trusy IVCtI which works mainly among the impoverished section of the Anglo-lndian community, which is spread in many different parts of the city. During the last reporting year a total of 147 familie5 were helped by VCT. Thi5 included the full or partial payment of school fees for 66 students and support for a further 23 students to attend college and 3 students in vocational training places. v also distributed funds to 42 individual young people including sponsored children. v were also able to help protect 26 adult5 throu8h provision of food aid. medical ald and grants to the people living with disabilities and to widows. In addltlon pen5i0ns were prowded to a further 70 Seniors. The year 2022 wa5 nothing less than a Challenging one for vcr as the surge In Covid-19 ca5e5 from the end of April resulted in restrictions on the movement of people from the month of May. With the restrictions and few relaxations in the following months, we yre able to 5UPPOrt our clients without any hassle or delay (thanks to the prevlous years. experlence). 90% of our clients were vaccinated and neath 30% of them had their b005ter dose as well. VCT had to restritt the office days to three day5 a week because of the Continuous droina8e block in the old office. As the office building was sold by the landlord v was looking for a new office from September 2022 and found a place and moved in March 2023. In 2022 VCT helped 16 new school students and 8 new college students. By June 2022 vcr was seeing clients three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays for offlce vlslts. Funds raised by AIC that help young people continue in educatlon have the potential to break the cycle of inter-generational poverty that 15 so common in the disadvantaged communities of Chennal. The day-to-day operation by VCT of assessing people's needs and arranging appropriate sUPPOrt is conducted by three staff (office manager. social worker and assistant). v also distribute5 funds given to AIC by UK donors as sp0ft50rship for individual young people. v is overseen by a board of Trustees. Overs18ht and compllance wlth charitsble purposes The partnership with Vine Charttable Trust is monitored by frequent telephone and email contact. by the receipt of Sponsorship report5 and details of school and college fees paid. VCT a150 supplies copies of their audited accounts. WisÉts to Chennai by an AIC Trustee take place at approximately yearly intervals. It was not possible for a trip to tske place in 2022 due to travel restrictions both in the UK and India and the risk to those travelling. A vistt was made by a former trustee and a report was made to the Trustees of that visf(. Two trustees expect to visit in early 2024. The AIC Trustees are satisfied by this monitoring activity that the fund5 raised in the UK are being used by our Indian partner solely for the charitable purposes laid out in the Trust Deed, which comply with the requirements of the 26 Charities Act.
Flnancial Review The financial statements for 2022 are attached. The support to India returned to more normal leve15 after disruption due to Cowd. The increase on the previous year also reflerts intreased schooling costs and other infiationary pressures. Normalty two transfers are made one in April and one in November. Due to Covid restrictions in India in 2021 only one transfer was made and in 2022 two transfers were made, the first being the delayed transfer from 2021. In 2023 it is anticipated that there will be 3 transfers which wlll restore the usual pattern. The highest transfer is normally made around April to cover college fees which are normally paid annually In advance and then a smaller amount later in the year. There were no travel costs for Tnjstees as due to C¢)vld It has not been possible to arrange this in a safe manner. Costs of the newsletter continue at a lower level as these have increasingly been sent out dlgltslly and a much cheaper printing option has been found for the remainln8 coples. ReseThespolky The Trustees, pollcy is to maintsln a level of income and assets to continue with the aims of the charity for as long a5 P05sible. The Trustees. after discussion with the Vlne Charitable Trust, agreed to ¢ontlnue supporting the work at the current levels for the next 5-10 years with an expertation that thls would reduce the reserrfes over this period. This was done in the knowledge that this would reduce the reserves and would not be sustainable over time. The work would be managed to ensure that the education of the current children would be preserved over their school years. However due to a ¢ombination of additional giwng by donors. favourable variances in the exchange rate, and before 2022 a reduction In number of students on more expensive further educatlon courses the reserves have not been reduced as rapidly a5 anticipated. The Trustee5 continue to operate on the basis that the reserves will be utlllsed to support the work for as long as is practicable whilst ensuring that current students are able to complete their education. It Is anticipated that the level of support will increase in the next years to the level orlEinally anticlpated when the policy was set. IRStMentP0lkY The Trustees took the declsion during 2017 to convert irrto cash the Investments that had previously been held in the CO Managed funds. This decision was taken in view of the strength of the markets at the Current time which was potentialty not 5UStainable in the short temi and the need to have some certainty around the fvnds In the short term to enab the current levels to be sustained. Part of these funds were placed on dep051t. This deposit matured in early 2021 and wa5 renewed for a further two years. There are also funds held in a 60-day noti account to meet shorter tem requirements. Funds a spread across 3 organisations to maintain security of the principal.
Rlsks The malor rtsks that face are.. the exchange rate risk of the pourbd to the rupee as this impacts the amount that is contrlbuted to pay for the education and relief and other costs in India. ncertalnty aboLrt future income as donations are dependent on the generosity of donors. The trustees have set a reseryes pdicy to coverthe risks around the decline in income to ensure that the education irf the current thildren can be conts.nued for the len8th of thelr current courses. The funds have been placed in different banks to mits"Bate a8ainsi credit risk.
