## **Aid Care Training and Supplies Trust**
## **Report of the Trustees for the year Ended 31[st] March 2021**
ACTS is a Charitable Trust constitut **e** d under a Trust Deed dated 25[th] April 1993. The po **w** er of appointing new or additional trustees is vested in t **h** e Trustees.
## **Principle Objectives**
The objectives of the charity are:
The advancement of the Christian f **a** ith in the United Kingdom and overseas; religious a **n** d other education; the relief of the aged, poor, sick and di **s** abled. The trust supports projects in Eastern Europe, Africa and India and the UK in pursuit of its objectives.
## **Achievements and Performance**
Acts achieves its objectives by making donations to partners and partner organisations **w** hose work falls within the scope of the Acts objectives.
This was a difficult year worldwide **a** s the Covid pandemic hit. The trustees maintained **c** ommunication with partners in Africa, India, Nepal, Ro **m** ania and here in the UK to find out how best Acts could support them.
Acts was able to support 3 partner **o** rganisations in Kolkata, India as they reached out to communities throughout the pandemic and in the aftermath of a devastating cyclone which hit in Apr **i** l 2021. Often working with local authorities, these organi **s** ations were able to provide food and other essential **s** to those in most need, as well as continuing drug an **d** alcohol rehabilitation and education programmes as pandemic regulations allowed.
Acts also supported financially the **m** edical work of Bethany Hospital in Mumbai and rur **a** l India.
Acts continued supporting its partners in Nepal, providing the balance of promised funding towards a building which will benefit the local commu **n** ity.
Acts also provided funds to the Lu **w** ero Community Project in Uganda which provides h **o** using, education and healthcare for those living in the c **o** mmunity as well as running a farm.
Two orphanages in Romania which Acts has had a long term relationship with were also supported financially.
In the UK, Acts made a donation to Dalesdown (Children WorldWide), which provides tr **a** ining for working with children and summer camps for children and youn people. This help offset the lack of in **c** ome due to the pandemic and lockdown.
The trustees keep in close contact **w** ith partners and organisations who receive financial donations and receive regular reports and updates. No visits were made to partner organisations during the ye **a** r to 31st March 2021, due to the Covid pandemic.
## **Disbursement of funds**
During the year, the Trustees have **d** isbursed funds which have assisted in the following:

.
- Education for children livi **n** g in slums in Kolkata, India via 3 partner organisatio **n** s.
- Work with addicts and children living on station platforms and the running of 2 children’s homes, through the work of Emm **a** nuel Ministries Calcutta and its sister NGOs.
- Provision of food and prac **t** ical necessities to communities in Kolkata badly imp **a** cted by Covid lockdowns and by cyclone damage
- On-going medical services of Bethany Hospital as it dealt with Covid in Mumbai and rural India.
- Provision of a building for **t** he local community of one of our partners in Nepal.
- Funds to help with the running of various community projects at Luwero in Uganda.
- Provision of childcare at o **r** phanages in Romania.
- Funds to help with the running costs of Dalesdown (Children Worldwide) to hel **p** offset the lack of income caused by the pan **d** emic
## **Serious Incidents**
The Trustees recognise their respo **n** sibility to report serious incidents to the Charity Co **m** mission. There were no such incidents during the year.
## **Financial Review**
Acts currently disburse funds by m **a** king grants from monies held in its bank account an **d** on the basis that there is no long-term commitment to any one project. Therefore there is no medium or long-term financial commitment.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report**
I report to the trustees on my exa **m** ination of the accounts of Aid Care Training and Sup **p** lies Trust, Charity Number 1021042 (“the Trust”) for **t** he year ended 31st March 2021.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity trustees are responsibl **e** for the preparation of the accounts in accordance **w** ith the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities **A** ct 2011 and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under secti **o** n 145 of the Charities Act
- Follow the procedures laid down in the applicable Directions given by the Charity Com **m** ission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act
-State whether particular matters **h** ave come to my attention
## **Basis of Report**
I report in respect of my examinati **o** n of the Trust’s accounts carried out in accordance **w** ith the applicable Directions given by the Charity Co **m** mission. An examination includes a review of the ac **c** ounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also in **c** ludes the consideration of unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanation fro **m** the trustees concerning any such matters. The **p** rocedures undertaken do not provide all that would **b** e required in an audit, and consequently, the repor **t** is limited to the matters set out in the statement be **l** ow.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my **a** ttention in connection with the examination which gives **m** e cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were n **o** t kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come **a** cross no other matters in connection with the exam **i** nation to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
