Annual Report 2021
Viva delivers bigger, better, longer-lasting work for vulnerable children , that enables a louder voice on their behalf in their cities.
Aayla’s actions share hope through hard times in India
Viva’s Covid-19 phone mentoring programme helped Aayla and her family to not only cope with the pressures of lockdown but to flourish – and Aayla’s new-found skills helped her local community as well.
Aayla lives in a simple home with her parents, a brother and sister in Patna, in India’s state of Bihar. The family share one bedroom because the house is small.
Schools were shut last year because of the Covid pandemic, affecting Aayla’s education and meaning the family spent a long time together .
Concerned about the pressures being put on families each day, Viva’s partner network in Patna ran the phone mentoring programme , which
Viva had specially developed at the beginning of the Covid pandemic lockdown period (read more on page 4).
A trained mentor in Patna contacted Aayla’s mother and she agreed to receive the weekly mentoring, which covers six themes over the course of a two-month period.
During the course of the mentoring, Aayla learned to draw, got involved more in household chores and her mother taught her stitching. Using her new-found skills, Aayla chose to make protective masks out of spare pieces of cloth and distributed them for free to children and adults in her local community who didn’t have them.
These outstanding, selfless actions, which came as a result of the mentoring programme, were recognised by the network in Patna, and Aayla was one of two recipients of a new annual scholarship which was set up in memory of Devesh Lal, Viva’s Network Consultant, who sadly passed away in November 2020.
In spite of the effects of the pandemic, Aayla is now more confident, has new skills and has bonded with her family at a deeper level. It’s given her hope in hard times. Aayla says, “The mentoring calls improved our family relationship. My parents now talk to me kindly and spend time with me.”

Viva is an international charity dedicated to changing more children’s lives to fulfil their God-given potential. We build support networks of churches and grassroots organisations to protect and provide for children.
Where do we work?
Viva is currently working with 39 partner networks across 26 countries with more than 4,680 local churches and organisations serving over 3 million vulnerable children.
How do we work?
In each city we work in, our core programme uses four drivers for lasting change:
-
Connecting: Inspiring local churches and organisations to work together and support each other with a shared vision for children
-
Capacity building: Building capacity of churches and organisations through training, coaching and peer to peer learning to increase sustainability and quality of care for children
-
Collective action: Mobilising churches and organisations to work together to design and implement joint programmes that meet the needs of children on a deeper level than any one organisation could achieve alone
-
City-wide influence: Addressing negative attitudes and behaviours towards children and engaging with decision-makers to deliver greater protection and opportunities for vulnerable children
What is Viva’s added value?
Viva’s partnership benefits networks with:
-
Tools: Providing and guiding local leaders through tried and tested tools to build a network that tackles the root causes of problems affecting children
-
Coaching: Supporting, encouraging and inspiring as a critical friend and cheerleader
-
Quality: Ensuring the quality of programmes, assurance on financial and governance standards and the protection of children from harm
-
Global picture: Combining and building on local achievements to generate a global response to the needs of children.
Is Viva’s work effective?
Viva’s unique model has been externally validated by the Sagamore Institute for Public Policy and proven to have a multiplier effect , catalysing grassroots action for strategic impact. Where a partner network exists, there is more work for vulnerable children, of higher quality and continuing into the future. In addition, the unified and collective voice of the network ensures that there is stronger influence with those in authority to advocate for children, resulting in changes of attitudes towards and protection of children nationally.

The impact of Covid-19
During this year, the whole world was struck by the Covid-19 pandemic which changed the nature of our work in many ways.
There has been a collective feeling of grief and loss with many Viva partner networks reporting deaths of pastors, local leaders and Viva International also losing our friend and colleague Devesh Lal . We have journeyed together and it is in the context of the pandemic that the work in this report was achieved.
Unsurprisingly, all of Viva’s partner networks who completed the Covid-19 section of our Network Health
Check survey experienced at least one negative effect from the Covid-19 pandemic on their work. The most recognised negative side-effect was that the networks experienced ‘less interaction with children in person’, with 97% of the networks experiencing this. Furthermore, 89% of networks experienced ‘less interaction with network participants in person’ and 86% of networks had to stop some of their activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, many networks also experienced some positive outcomes from the pandemic. All of our partner networks have responded to the difficulties of the past year to ensure they are still doing everything they can to support and protect children in their communities. 94% of networks who completed the
Covid-19 section of the NHC survey reported ‘more regular use of Zoom’, 86% ‘started online training’ and 72% reported ‘more interaction with network participants online’.
This year has certainly increased the online capabilities of our partner networks all around the world, which will be really useful moving forward beyond the Covid-19 emergency. 92% of networks also
Viva’s Phone Mentoring programme In total, between June 2020 and January 2021, Viva’s phone mentoring programme reached over 8,000 families and 26,000 children. Over 44,000 calls have been carried out in 18 countries, and over 100,000 actions were completed.
The programme has achieved impact in all four of its objectives:
1. CHILDREN ARE PROTECTED FROM ABUSE AND DANGER
98% of children were able to give a positive answer after the programme, when asked what they would do if they feel unsafe.
2. CHILDREN ARE EDUCATED FOR LIFE
99% of children now have a positive strategy for something to do when they feel worried or scared.
3. FAMILIES ARE STRENGTHENED
The proportion of parents who could describe an activity they enjoyed doing with their children ‘in the last 3 days’ increased from 82% to 87%.
4. COMMUNITIES RESPOND EFFECTIVELY
80% of mentors who completed our feedback rated the programme as 5/5 and a further 17% rated the programme as 4/5. 97% of these mentors said that they would mentor someone again in the future.
‘started new activities to respond to Covid-19’. For example, the Phone Mentoring Programme has been used widely across the globe (see box). The work of partner networks has always included response to emergency situations so many are well-equipped and ready to act.
69% of networks also noticed they were acting with ‘more innovation and creative thinking’ in order to overcome the challenges of the past year.
This year has been a challenging process of learning, but many networks have developed new skills and systems this year which they will keep into the future.

How we achieved the multiplier effect in 2020-21
BIGGER work for vulnerable children
Focus: Viva’s Christmas Parties
Through this annual programme, Viva partner networks are becoming more widely known and respected, and as their reputations are strengthened, they have better platforms to bring about positive change for children.
In December 2020 and January 2021, 300 churches and organisations from 21 partner networks, ran a total of 170 Christmas Parties reaching 9,100 children . 41% of children who attended had not been previously reached by the network. The Parties were a bit different to previous years to make sure they were safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some parties had fewer participants, some were held outside and others were held virtually.
A 14-year-old boy who has been blind from birth attended his first Christmas Party run by Viva’s partner network in Patna, India . He said “I am very excited to be here. I was always wondering why God sent me to be on this Earth, but today’s messages changed my thoughts. I realised today how important I am to my parents - my family loves me and they care for me”.
BIGGER: Global headline statistics
-
There has been a reduction in network size from 5,321 churches and organisations in 2019-20 to 4,687 in 2020-21. (This is largely a result of a drop in membership recorded in Manila, The Philippines, due to changes in the network’s formal registration process.)
-
60% of Viva partner networks actually recorded growth in network member sizes despite the pandemic.
-
33 partner networks have an average of 5 working or action groups, bringing smaller groups together to discuss or work on focused issue areas.
-
4,576 schools and community organisations outside of the network have benefited from network activities.
In Zambia , Samalani Children at Risk Network, followed up on the Christmas Party to invite new children to Touch Talk sessions to teach them how to stay safe from abuse.
BETTER work for vulnerable children
Focus: Child protection training
Viva’s goal is to support our partner networks in helping all members understand the importance of reducing risk to children and vulnerable adults, and have a clear system to do this. For many small grassroots organisations, child protection is a new concept and network leaders need to build up knowledge in order to begin policy-writing from a secure foundation where these policies will be understood and meaningfully used.
At year end, 36% (1,616) of churches and organisations in partner networks have a child protection policy.
BETTER: Global headline statistics
-
In total, networks ran 159 capacitybuilding programmes for churches and organisations in the networks, with an average of 4 per network.
-
113,591 children were trained in selfprotection.
-
8,735 children were trained as leaders.
-
1,756 churches and organisations received help from their network to write or improve their child protection policy.
In total 35 Viva partner networks ran child protection
training for a total of 9,853 adults from 2,400 local churches and organisations. A further 11,576 adults
from outside the networks were also trained in child protection through giving child protection training to schools and child protection committees (in 12 networks), city authorities (six networks) and city services such as police (four networks).
There was also an increase this year in training to support child safety online with seven networks running training on the topic. In total, they trained 4,804 adults from 582 churches and organisations on the topic.
Due to Covid-19 lockdown, families in India are spending more time at home. To reduce the risk of violence and abuse against children at home, Viva's phone mentoring programme has a session called ‘Staying safe online’ for parents and children.
5
In seven cities in India, volunteer mentors from Viva's partner networks made phone calls and, as a result, over 1,300 parents spoke to their children about online safety and 996 parents learnt about the apps and games children have on their devices. A mentor from Delhi says, “When I spoke to the parents about online safety, they started paying attention to their child’s online activity. The parents started talking with the child on what the child has learnt on various websites. This created conversations and now the children share many things they learn on the web with their parents.”
Drawing on our experience in child protection training and the new phone mentoring resources, Viva carried out online child protection training for 121 teachers and staff of Assemblies of God church schools and projects in north India in July 2020. It also facilitated an online safety webinar for 721 teachers in September 2020, in partnership with the YMCA.
LASTING work for vulnerable children
Focus: Strengthening family support and child development
Globally last year, 23 collective action programmes focused on strengthening family support and child development, with 868 churches and organisations reaching 29,985 adults and 49,648 children.
One such programme that has run in Uganda by our partner network CRANE for ten years now is ‘Beginnings’. It seeks to improve maternal, newborn and child health in the Namuwongo and Bwaise slum communities of Kampala through peer education.
During the last year, 3,271 adults and 1,917 children were
reached through household visits and focus groups. Of the 822 households contacted, more than 25% were new contacts.
Household visits during lockdown improved access to important health interventions for isolated and vulnerable communities. Peer Educators were able to track and support mothers with best maternal child health care practices. The health issues addressed included prevention against Covid19 using visual aids distributed by CRANE, and maternal and child health related topics including malaria, immunisation, nutrition and family planning.
LASTING: Global headline statistics
-
Globally, networks ran 290 collective action programmes (5% more than last year), with 2,531 churches and organisations engaged (+12%), and directly benefiting 388,849 children (+80%).
-
The average Sustainability Benchmark score was 81% (up 6% from last year).
-
• 17 partner networks are running programmes focused on each of the three areas of prevention, intervention and restoration. 34 partner networks are involved in intervention, 36 in prevention and 18 in restoration.
Peer Educators supported households to address other identified needs. For example, the pandemic caused an increase in violence between couples as everyone was struggling to make ends meet. Because the lockdown went on for a long period of time, many families ran out of food. Peer Educators provided counselling to families but also lobbied for food support from community leaders and organisations, and distributed food and masks to the families affected by hunger and malnutrition. During community outreach events , children were immunised and given deworming tablets free of charge.
Following lockdown and restrictions on mass gatherings, community radios were one of the platforms used to reach out to the community. The focus was on community participation with the goal of transforming and facilitating the empowerment of the vulnerable in these communities.
Joan was an HIV-positive expectant mother. She had not taken her ARVs in at least eight months. During one of the household visits, she shared with the Peer Educator about her inconsistency in adhering to treatment. She had become tired of walking long distances to the health facilities. After a series of follow-up visits from the Peer Educators, she got back on treatment. She knew that taking antiretroviral treatment correctly during pregnancy and breastfeeding could eliminate the risk of passing on the virus to her baby. A month later Joan, gave birth to a healthy baby.

LOUDER voices for vulnerable children
Focus: Good Treatment Campaign
Last year, 166,516 people (including 43,243 children) in 23 networks in 18 countries were reached with positive messages about better treatment of children in their care through Viva’s Good Treatment Campaign. A total of 1,714 churches and organisations globally worked together to reach people in their communities, and about 20% of these were not already a member of Viva partner networks.
This time, almost all of the campaign was shared through online messages because of the Covid pandemic.
Red Viva Costa Rica used the Good Treatment Campaign to connect families with special cases in parenting issues, and ran in parallel with the Community Centre's Resilience programme for monthly follow-ups. Here, 96 families received personalised and comprehensive assistance from professionals who supported them to create a support plan for their family.
MCAN, our partner network in Tanzania, reached adults through their online Good Treatment Campaign, who responded by replying on WhatsApp and Facebook posts and promised to start raising their children in a good manner. Commitments were around stopping any forms of violence and abuse, and parents received a promise card so they could make a commitment to live with their children in a caring and loving way.
LOUDER: Global headline statistics
-
1.49 million children benefitted from city-wide influence programmes this year. 86% of these children were reached for the first time.
-
In total, 94 city-wide influence campaigns were run across 36 partner networks averaging 3 per network.
-
8,735 children were trained, equipped and empowered to know their rights and responsibilities.
-
36,973 children positively advocated (to adults and authorities) for challenges their peers are facing in their communities.
-
2,475 churches and organisations that are part of a Viva partner network are represented at city-level coalitions/consortiums.
-
15 partner networks reported influencing a total of 28 national policies and 24 regional/city level policies which support systemic change for child situations.
Behind the Scenes – Girls’ Education Challenge
Reflecting many aspects of Viva's model, we continued with the fourth year of the Girls’ Education Challenge, funded by the UK Government’s Department for International Development (now the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office).
This seven-year programme is directly benefitting almost 10,000 girls, and indirectly impacting a further 21,000 children. It is improving girls’ numeracy, literacy, IT skills and competency-based learning, and building their resilience and confidence through psychosocial support. It is also promoting collaboration between parents, schools and communities to create safer learning environments for children, and working closely with mainstream schools to make them strong, creative, holistic, inclusive and protective.
In addition, we offer an innovative teacher training qualification for 30 young women. As a result of training, teachers in 52 mainstream schools have implemented new creative learning strategies and teaching practice in their classrooms, and some families were able to better support their children through economic empowerment. This holistic approach helps to break down many of the barriers that children face when accessing education.

Viva’s five-year strategy to change children’s lives through the power of collective action
Viva has three objectives for 2020-2025:
-
To increase the impact of our work for vulnerable children so that more children are reached more effectively. This is being achieved by:
-
Specialising – to increase the expertise of the team, and the focus and quality of programmes delivered by networks
-
Maximising programmes – by strengthening individual network programmes
-
Knowing our impact – by improving our Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning system to better understand our effectiveness and drive impact
-
To see every partner network become sustainable within three years to ensure partner networks are equipped to last and partner on a common vision.
This is being achieved by:
-
Strong foundations – supporting every partner network to achieve Viva’s sustainability benchmark
-
Long-term partnership - ensuring partner networks remain sustainable and share expertise
-
To grow and reach 75 networks by 2025 so that our proven model can have a positive impact on children in many more locations. This is being achieved by:
-
Sub-dividing networks – driving increased member engagement and work with children by subdividing networks that span multiple areas to be more focussed
-
Leverage capacity and energy of others - considering new locations to develop partner networks
-

Behind the Scenes – Staff and Key Contracts
Our staff (both paid and volunteer) are crucial to Viva’s success. Over the last year we have appointed new staff members across all of our teams. We continue to be very grateful to those who have volunteered across the world including Anne Gallacher, Lucy Cox, Jenny Evans, John Walden, Lucy Hefford, Tony Houghton, Tania Wong, Tom Stavers and Ruth Sharon – thank you!
Financial Review
Despite all the challenges of the pandemic, Viva has had a strong financial year, with a surplus in unrestricted funding delivered above expectation and an increase in reserves. Generous one-off giving alongside support from the UK and HK Government’s furlough schemes contributed towards an increase of more than 50% on last year’s unrestricted donation income. One off giving in the UK and HK was particularly strong, and regular giving stayed close to budget, slightly exceeding last year’s level of regular giving. Moreover, unrestricted expenditure fell compared with last year. In 2020, following a deficit in 2019 which led to slightly negative reserves, the Trustees and leadership team decided to make a number of cost savings. This led to some posts being made redundant, all of which were UK-based and have not negatively affected the scale of our programmatic work.
Restricted income has dropped slightly, with £100,000 less coming in for the Girls Education programme in Uganda. This reflects the budget profile for the seven year programme that has been agreed and funded by the UK Government. Both restricted and unrestricted income has stayed in line with agreed budgets and the unrestricted surplus for the year was £233,000.
Although reserves have grown this year, we expect unrestricted funding in 2021-22 to be uncertain and are planning cautiously with an awareness of the continued effects of the COVID pandemic. The 2021-22 budget is aiming for a small surplus. We expect to manage cashflow within expected cash balances and the small overdraft facility we hold with our bankers.

Trustees’ Annual Report
The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. Reference and administrative information set out on the back page forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2019).
The annual report and the financial statements include the results of Viva Network North America, Viva Network (Hong Kong) Ltd and Viva Network Africa which are related charities that are managed and influenced by Viva Network (referred to as “Viva” throughout this report).
Structure, Governance & Management
The charity is registered as a UK charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 22 February 1996.
Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. Efforts are made to recruit a range of Trustees who can provide a broad spectrum of experience and knowledge to the charity.
There is an induction process for new Trustees which includes various documents (the Charity Commission’s induction materials, the Memorandum and Articles of the charity, Annual Report and Annual Review) as well as meeting senior staff to help them understand the way the organisation operates. When appropriate, training on the role and responsibilities of Trustees is provided.
Organisational structure and decision-making
The charity is run on a day-to-day basis by a Chief Executive and Leadership Team. This group is considered the ‘key management personnel’. They are responsible for everyday decisions and for ensuring the charity continues to meet its objectives. They are accountable to the Board of Trustees, which meets quarterly.
Pay of key management personnel
The pay for the key management personnel is reviewed by a working group of the Board annually and changes (other than inflationary increases applied to all staff) are considered and approved by the Board. When setting the pay for this group primary consideration is given to equivalent roles in other similar-sized charities.
Related parties
Viva Network North America (VNNA) is a registered not for profit organisation with a 501(c)3 status, registered in Colorado, USA. Viva Network (Hong Kong) Ltd is a limited company registered in Hong Kong which has charitable status. Both serve substantially similar aims and objectives to Viva, and are the depository of much of Viva Network’s income sourced from US and Hong Kong donors. They submit appropriate statutory returns each year (an IRS 990 in the US and audited accounts in Hong Kong). They both operate to the same accounting periods as Viva. They each have boards of Trustees/Directors legally independent from Viva but with some members who sit on two of the three boards. Control is nevertheless exercised, as the staff of each are fully line managed by staff employed by Viva in the UK. The boards have chosen to delegate control of strategy and use of money raised to Viva in the UK. Accounts from both charities have been consolidated in this Financial Statement.
Viva Network Africa is a registered foreign NGO in Uganda. It has substantially similar aims and objectives to Viva. It is audited within Uganda and files appropriate returns to the Companies and NGO Boards within Uganda. Although Viva Network Africa has a separate Board, Viva has control over Viva Network Africa.
Other Viva entities
There are other legal entities across the world that bear the name “Viva” that have had some connection with us in previous years. In some cases we no longer have any connection, whilst with others we retain a close working relationship. However, in no case does control exist between the UK, US, Hong Kong or Uganda charities and these other entities. Where funding passes from ourselves to one of these other entities, appropriate contracts and accountability
12
structures exist to ensure correct use of the funding.
Public benefit
The Trustees consider that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
wellbeing of staff and implementing the fundraising strategy, building a balanced portfolio of income streams, financial monitoring, development of the donor journey and emphasis on increasing regular unrestricted income. These plans have borne fruit during 2020-21 and are ongoing.
COVID-19
Fundraising activity
Viva’s fundraising is led by paid staff based in the UK, US and Hong Kong and overseen by the boards in each of those countries.
We have paid the voluntary levy to the UK’s Fundraising Regulator and thus agreed to adhere to their standards of behaviour. We are not aware of failure to comply with those standards. We have not received any complaints during the year relating to our fundraising. If we become aware of any vulnerable people on our database we ensure that they do not receive any appeals and also ensure that any requests for details to be updated or deleted from our database are handled quickly. We have signed up to receive suppressions under the Fundraising Preference Service.
Risk management
The Trustees have considered the key risks to which Viva and its related charities are exposed and have reviewed those risks, establishing systems and procedures to monitor and mitigate key risks.
The ‘Finance and Risk’ subcommittee considers high-risk items at every meeting and the Board of Trustees regularly reviews an assessment of the risks to which the charity is exposed. The review looks at the key risks facing the charity in delivering its objectives, current action being taken to address the risks and additional actions that can be taken to address the identified risks.
During the year 64 identified risks were monitored in the areas of Impact, Reputation, Personnel, Management, Infrastructure, Legal Compliance, Finance, Fundraising, Identity, Politics and Significant Projects. The principal risks identified relate to over-reliance on key staff and fundraising: income reduction, lack of diversity in funding streams and inadequate unrestricted income to cover unrestricted costs and implement strategic plans for growth. The actions for managing them include strong care for the
Covid-19 started affecting the charity’s operations in Hong Kong in January 2020. As the disease spread globally so did the effect on Viva’s operations so that by the end of March 2020 most of Viva’s staff were working from home and Viva’s partner networks were having to deal with the effects on the ground in their work with vulnerable children. Some staff have returned to offices at different points since then but it was only in September 2021 that we formally reopened offices. We continue to offer all staff the opportunity to work at home for most of their hours if they wish (so called “hybrid working”).
The trustees have considered, planned and made decisions relating to Covid-19. They have considered the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic will have on the charity’s current and future financial position. The main effects of Covid-19 on Viva are:
-
Some programmes with vulnerable children by our partner networks have had to be adapted to deal with social distancing, the closure of schools, reduction in risk and practical needs for food and supplies. In each case the funders have agreed to the necessary adaptations and programmes have continued.
-
In addition to the adaptation we have also created and delivered a brand new phone mentoring programme to support vulnerable children and their families through the Covid19 lockdowns. At the date of this report the programme has reached 26,000 vulnerable children.
-
We are now focussing on the effects of Covid-19 on our beneficiaries’ education and working on a plan to provide catch-up education resources and support through a programme of Learning Support Centres.
-
Staff worldwide have been largely working from home since March 2020. Since we were already set up to work from multiple countries our systems required very little adjustment to cope with this.
13
-
Our offices have re-opened and this has required consideration of social distancing, additional cleaning etc. These measures have required staff time to implement but no actual costs.
-
The constraints created by Covid-19 meant that it was appropriate to reduce the resources in the UK team. We were, however, able to ensure affected staff were supported through the Government furlough scheme. Most of our use of the Furlough scheme ended in October 2020 with minimal use of it after that to support staff who were selfisolating or had children home from school.
The trustees consider that the charity will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved for the following reasons:
-
Achieving a surplus in unrestricted funds in 2020-21 and a balanced budget for 2021-22.
-
The charity’s key funders (individuals, foundations and statutory sources) are all believed to be secure for the coming 18 months at least.
-
Adequate cash and overdraft facilities to manage cashflow requirements. The trustees therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the accounts, as detailed in note 1(b) to the financial statements.
-
assist applicants to determine whether or not an application to Viva would be appropriate
-
ensure that a consistent approach is adopted to the consideration of applications for financial support.
Our grant-making is almost exclusively with partner networks and other members of the Viva global family of organisations. In both cases we have long-term partnership relationships with the grantee.
Policy
We will consider applications for grants from voluntary or charitable organisations. We will not normally consider applications from individuals or from any form of profit-making organisation. There are no geographic boundaries on the locations we support. In making grants we will seek to develop collaborative action
programmes that fulfil our three objects listed above. There are no limits on the amount of grant made. We will normally only make grants to the networks we partner with. Our partnership agreement with each network covers expectations on both parties as well as ongoing reporting requirements for the partner network. An assessment of proposed projects will be undertaken by a member of Viva staff before any grants are made.
Grant-making Policies
The Memorandum of Association of Viva (the UK charity) states the objects as follows:
-
To advance the Christian faith amongst children at high risk worldwide, especially street children.
-
To enable an improved quality of life through the relief of poverty, sickness and distress amongst these children.
-
To enhance through Christian education the God-given talents of these children encouraging them to train for a life in the community as God intended.
The objects of the various other entities within the group of charities are compatible and substantially the same as these.
In accordance with current Charity Commission guidelines, we have devised the following grantmaking policy in order to:
14
Financial Policies and Information
Reserves
It is the policy of the charity to carry forward any surplus arising in one year to the next year. Our policy is to hold sufficient free reserves to cover our long term liabilities and at a level in line with our unrestricted net current assets which should be at least as high as three months' budgeted unrestricted expenditure. Available reserves is calculated as net current assets, less the mobilisation loan, less restricted funds held, plus the US promissory note. This calculation gives a reserves figure of £162,155 which is 58 days of our budget for 2021-22. The trustees will seek to ensure the level of reserves is increased over the coming years by carefully managing the budget and considering how best to use any surplus to meet the objectives of the charity.
Principal funding sources
The principal sources are statutory sources, individuals and foundations.
Investment policy and performance
Income is generally received to support ongoing programme, administration and operational costs. Consequently, surplus income is held in relatively accessible current accounts or on short-term deposit. The charity and all its related charities are not for profit organisations.
Volunteers
Viva has continued to benefit from qualified people wanting to give their time to assist us in our work, mostly on a part time basis. It is estimated that we benefitted from the equivalent of just under one full time staff from volunteers and by assigning each of them the equivalent salary for the role they fulfilled for us we have saved just over £17,000 from their contributions.
15
Trustees’ Responsibilities
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
The Trustees (who are also directors of Viva Network 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the group and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity and the group for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and the group and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and
-
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Auditors
Godfrey Wilson Limited were re-appointed as auditors of the group and parent charity during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of the Viva Network
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Viva Network (the “parent charity”) and its subsidiaries (the “group”) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the consolidated and parent Balance Sheet, the consolidated Statement of Cash flows, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
Other information
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group and parent charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are
independent of the group and parent charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the group and parent charity financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the group and parent charity financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
17
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the trustees
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charity and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report including the Strategic Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us;
-
the parent charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
As explained more fully in the trustees’
responsibilities statement set out on page 16, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The procedures we carried out and the extent to which they capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:
- (1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance
18
with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.
-
(2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to:
-
Identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations, and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance
-
Detecting and responding to the risk of fraud, and whether they were aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
Designing and implementing internal controls to mitigate the risk of noncompliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.
-
(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.
-
(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.
-
(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.
in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charityʼs members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Viva Network
Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting Policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Viva meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to continue to have a profound impact on the global economy, and may in turn affect the charity. The trustees have considered the impact of this issue on the charity’s current and future financial position. The charity holds unrestricted, general reserves of £162,155 and a cash balance of £963,658. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient unrestricted reserves and cash flow to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved. For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.
c) Company status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on the inside back cover. 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.
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Funds designated by the Trustees for a specific purpose are also unrestricted. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets valued greater than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition, except where purchased wholly from donor funds where they will not be capitalised.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the costs on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:
| economic lives as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Property | 2% |
| Furniture and fittings | 15% |
| Office equipment | 25%/33.3% |
23
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021
Viva Network
The purchase price of the property is considered to be split as follows: £154,000 – land (which is not depreciated) and £611,857 for building which is depreciated as above. The cost of the building includes an estimate of the irrecoverable VAT.
f) Foreign currencies
Where the charity engages a bank or other financial institution to deliver a foreign currency amount to a third party the amount billed to the charity is used to record the transaction. For the consolidation of transactions denominated in foreign currencies, the first of the month exchange rate is used for translation. Balances denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses incurred are included in the SOFA.
g) Basis of preparation of group financial
statements
The group financial statements consolidate the charity and its related charities in the United States, Hong Kong and Uganda made up to 31 March 2021. The net incoming resources of the related charities are consolidated from the dates of inception of the charities.
h) Network direct delivery
“Network Direct Delivery” are typically small amounts of funding that we receive specifically for networks and projects that we support. We pass these on less an administrative charge. These funds are shown within incoming and outgoing resources in the SOFA and are treated as restricted funds.
i) Conduit funds
Conduit funds are monies received for third parties and do not belong to the charity. The incoming funds and outgoing payments are excluded from the Statement of Financial Activities. Any conduit funds in hand at the year end are shown as creditors in the accounts.
j) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
k) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain
24
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021
Viva Network
services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
m) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
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.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
n) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance
arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of full-time equivalent staff in each team.
o) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
p) Cash at bank and in hand
q) Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charitable company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
r) Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. In addition, the charity occasionally uses forward contracts to minimise the risk to the organisation from fluctuations in exchange rates between sterling (GBP) and US Dollars (USD) and sterling and Ugandan Shillings (UGX). In line with FRS 102 the fair value of these forward contracts is calculated on settlement date and the year end for any outstanding contracts. All of the forward contracts relate to restricted funds. Gains and losses on forward contracts are posted to “All Other Costs” in the Statement of Financial Activities.
s) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting
policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to
25
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021
Viva Network
be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
Valuation of freehold property fixed assets
Freehold property are held at original purchase price less depreciation of the buildings element and not revalued.
Depreciation of freehold property
As described in note 1e to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of buildings element of freehold property to its residual value over its expected useful life.

"Child protection", "Children in emergencies", "Education", represent the themes we are promoting across the organisation and money will be allocated to networks involved in these areas.
