Learning Space brings positive change for Devna and her family
Devna is six years old and lives with her parents in Lalitpur, Nepal.
Devna’s father works as a daily wage labourer on construction sites. Devna has a disability and for this reason, as well as her family’s difficult financial situation, the local church recommended that she be invited to attend the Learning Space run by our partner network, CarNet Nepal.
Initially, Devna did not like coming as it was a new place for her. She was shy and lacked confidence. The class teacher also saw that Devna was unhappy with how her parents often forced her to do things, and didn’t always show her a great deal of love and care.
Devna’s mother listened to the teacher’s suggestions and started to behave differently, which helped Devna have a greater interest in attending the Learning Space and make new friends. The class teacher started to spend time with the girl. Her handwriting improved and she became more interested and independent in her work.
Devna’s teacher can see that she has lots of potential, but needs the love, care and support from the people around her – and that is what the Learning Space aims to do. Devna’s parents are happy with the positive changes they are already seeing in their daughter.

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 42 partner networks across 27 countries with more than 5,400 local churches and organisations serving over 3 million vulnerable children.
How do we work?
In each city where we work, 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 strategic, catalytic and grassroots 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, whilst we are more used to Covid-19 and the restrictions are coming and going, they still have an impact on our work and programmes in many parts of the world.
Unsurprisingly, all of Viva’s partner networks experienced at least one negative effect on their work from the Covid-19 pandemic. The most common negative side-effect was that the networks experienced ‘less interaction with children in person’ with 85% of networks reporting this impact. Although high this is an improvement from 97% last year. Additionally over 70% of networks had to stop some activities due to Covid-19.
Having said that, Viva’s partner networks have continued to adapt and innovate. 85% of networks ‘started new activities to respond to Covid-19' with approximately 80% of networks reporting that they
Our response
The phone mentoring programme we developed in May 2020 continued to be used by Viva partner networks to make a difference to people's lives through the 2021-22 year. In total, during the 2021 calendar year, 16,560 children and 5,029 families were supported in 28 countries.
57,095 children received physical aid as part of an emergency response by partner networks to the Covid pandemic. 29,266 adults and 61,459 children received health education training on Covid-19.
‘started online training’ and had ‘more interaction with network participants online’.
Some Viva partner networks have also noticed benefits of keeping some activities online:
-
“Easier and less expensive to connect online” (Mwanza Children at Risk, Tanzania)
-
“QIS training will continue online” (Connect Network, South Africa)
-
“Can reach more training participants online’ (Viva’s Shine Hyderabad Children Network, India)
-
“Participants can access information and materials quicker online’ (Reach Pune Network, India)
-
“Virtual early years proved to be effective” (Doorsteps, Oxford)
-
“Wider engagement of potential partners online” (Mindanao Children’s Ministries Network)
-
Other positive changes remaining after programme adaptations included:
-
“Virtuality is a tool to reach more distant places where we did not think we could travel’ (Red Viva Colombia)
-
“Improved coordination among networks“ (Philippine Children’s Ministries Network)
-
“Maintain inter-agency relationships through online meetings” (Red Viva Paraguay)
-
“Monthly prayers and radio programme“ (Samalani Children at Risk, Zambia)
-
“We have developed a Comprehensive Online Training Programme“ (Red Viva Oruro, Network)
-
“Continuation of phone mentoring led to more families being mentored regularly“ (Asha Forum Bangalore, India)
78% of the networks reported they were acting with ‘more innovation and creative thinking’ to develop new skills and systems. This is an increase from 69% last year, showing networks are continuing to grow in confidence in their adaptations and exploring new methods.
Networks continue to support children and families worst hit by the pandemic, and the positive changes for networks are a reflection of their resilience and adaptation.

How we achieved the multiplier effect in 2021-22
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 2021 and January 2022, 400 churches and organisations from 23 partner networks, ran a total of 170 Christmas Parties reaching 9,000 children . 50% of
children who attended had not been previously reached by the network. Our partner networks had different themes for their Christmas parties. Most networks focused on restoring hope and happiness among children and their families amidst the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A boy from our partner network in Ranchi, India , said: “This is the first time I have attended this type of programme in my life, and I am so happy. I never expected to get any gift. Also, I had a good meal.” A child from the network in Bangalore, India , shared how he knows that God will answer his prayers when he prays – because he was given the present of a bag that he could bring to his tuition centre.
BIGGER: Global headline statistics
-
There has been a 15% increase in network membership size with 5,403 churches and organisations participating in 2021-22.
-
60% of Viva partner networks recorded growth in network member sizes despite the pandemic.
-
Three new partner networks were welcomed to the Viva family.
-
27 partner networks have an average of 8 working or action groups, bringing smaller groups together to discuss or work on focused issue areas.
-
4,538 churches and community organisations outside of the network have benefited from network activities.
More than 75% of children who attended the Christmas parties organised by Red Viva Trey, Cuba , are now participating in Sunday schools of the member churches. The network continues to plan to engage the children in other Viva programmes like phone mentoring, and learning spaces to support their education.
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.
In total 35 Viva partner networks ran child protection training for a total of 6,000 adults from 900 local
BETTER: Global headline statistics
-
In total, networks ran 168 capacitybuilding programmes for churches and organisations in the networks, with an average of 4 per network.
-
181,386 children were trained in selfprotection.
-
6,048 children were trained as leaders.
-
2,000 churches and organisations received training from our partner networks in one or more area.
churches and organisations. A further 1,300 adults from
310 churches and organisations outside the networks were also trained in child protection through giving child protection training to schools and child protection committees (in 18 networks) and city authorities (three networks).
There has been a significant increase in the number of networks running child protection training in online exploitation with at least 630 adults from 300 churches participating.
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
With schools closing for extended periods of time across India, and children learning at home using the internet, the Viva India team developed resources in Hindi and English about keeping children safe online.
A total of 165 teachers and childcare workers, 144 community workers, 60 school staff and 24 NGO workers were trained in person, meaning children in marginalized communities of seven cities in India will be safeguarded, and know how to recognise and report abuse. One participant said, “The information that was provided was very detailed and was explained to us in a simple manner. I will aim to communicate what I learned with more and more people."
Viva India has laid the foundations for a more rapid roll-out of online child protection in the years ahead.
LASTING work for vulnerable children
Focus: Ensuring children complete their education
Globally last year, nine collective action programmes focused on educating children for life, with the skills and experience needed to develop, impacting 57,000 children.
The lives of almost 10,000 girls are being changed for the better through our long-running Girls’ Education Challenge programme in Kampala, Uganda . It is run by our partner network CRANE and supported by a British government grant.
The programme is centred around 15 Creative Learning Centres, which provide targeted, high-quality teaching that helps girls to go into or continue in school. We also provide safe clubs for children, IT buses, mentoring for parents and training for teachers in mainstream schools.
In spite of schools being closed due to Covid lockdowns, our data shows that children on the programme progressed three times faster than expected this year. This is a testimony to the community mentors tracking the girls and to the teachers who went the extra mile with the regular delivery of reading and self-study materials, phone calls and messages.
The number of girls from the programme who got pregnant or ended up in child labour was far less than the national
LASTING: Global headline statistics
-
Globally, networks ran 320 collective action programmes (9% more than last year), with 3,300 churches and organisations engaged (+8%), and directly benefiting 480,000 children (+26%).
-
• The average Sustainability Benchmark score was 85% (up 4% from last year). 4 networks scored 100 in the benchmark this year for the first time.

65% of partner networks are running programmes focused on each of the three areas of prevention, intervention and restoration. 38 partner networks are involved in intervention, 41 in prevention and 25 in restoration.
averages. Additionally, cases of project girls being abused has been a fraction of both the national rate and the cases reported to us of children being abused in the community. This, we believe, is attributable to the many rounds of safeguarding training and awareness raising we have done with girls and their parents.
Following on from phone mentoring, Viva’s next significant, global response to the effects of Covid has been our ‘Space to Grow’ Learning Spaces programme, which launched this year. Learning Spaces are safe and supportive places where mentors work with groups of children to help them receive psychosocial support and engage in independent learning, assisting them to set their own learning goals. The aim is to equip children in making a smooth transition back to school. Our partner networks in Venezuela and Nepal started Learning Spaces at the end of 2021, with a further 13 planned during 2022.
Our partner network, CarNet Nepal , began two Learning Spaces for a total of 65 children. One of these children is nine-year-old Samir. Before 2020, Samir didn't attend school regularly and was at risk of dropping out. When the pandemic hit, everything closed down and Samir’s mother feared that this interruption in her son’s education would exacerbate his existing struggles at school. Over the past year, Samir has benefitted greatly from his local Learning Space and the reports from his teachers are now very different. Samir is a role model for other children, as his self-confidence has sky-rocketed. He is now like an older brother to the other children as he helps the younger ones with their work and his teachers as a ‘class monitor’. Samir’s story is evidence of how much the trajectory of a life can change with a little support.

LOUDER voices for vulnerable children
Focus: Good Treatment Campaign
Last year, 430,600 people (including 178,000 children) in 26 partner 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 1,500 churches and organisations worked together to reach people in their communities, and about four in ten of these were not already a member of Viva partner networks.
Networks who took part in this year's campaigns spread the Good Treatment Campaign message through radio programmes, street marches, social media, creating and sharing posters, running activities for children (particularly on 'Good Touch, Bad Touch'), school events, 'Positive Parenting' training, online events, sharing video clips and images, and signing GTC promise cards.
LOUDER: Global headline statistics
-
1.5 million children benefitted from city-wide influence programmes this year. 27% of these children were reached for the first time.
-
In total, 120 city-wide influence campaigns were run across 41 partner networks averaging 3 per network.
-
15 partner networks reported influencing a total of 28 national policies and 16 regional/city level policies which support systemic change for children.
In Venezuela , children and teenagers from 40 churches were trained as leaders and the network promoted good treatment between siblings, cousins and children's peers through churches and community centres.
Forty children were reached and six adults trained through the Good Treatment Campaign run by our network in Peru . Those adult attendees noted that these campaigns are vital to make people stop, reflect,, improve and provide good treatment to children. One of them said that he formerly only considered things as serious as physical abuse to be ‘abuse’. However, through the campaign, he understood that not listening to his children and not valuing their opinions, though not appearing to be a significant problem, is a form of abuse and deprives them of their right to expression. Another attendee says the campaign helped her reflect on maintaining family harmony with love and respect.
We give thanks that the Good Treatment Campaign has such impact and influence in different parts of society, and is recognised as being a pioneering programme. In Myanmar , the township authority was informed about the Campaign and the local minister was invited to participate, as was the local authority in Argentina . Additionally, in El Salvador , the local authorities participated directly in the Good Treatment campaign, disseminating images, videos and resources related to the campaign.
A church bishop in Tanzania saw what the MCAN network was doing and said: "I am very excited about this campaign for the best upbringing of children. Nowadays, parents seem not to have time with their children, so I believe these messages are [more] useful in this generation than anything you can think about."

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 Jenny Evans, John Walden, Tony Houghton, Tom Stavers and Claudilene Saldivar – thank you!
Financial Review
Viva has finished the year in a stable financial position with an increased level of reserves.
This has been a challenging year from a fundraising perspective in which unrestricted income fell short of target, which in turn had a negative impact on reserves. During the year, the Leadership Team and Board made the decision to sell the UK office property, which was no longer fully needed with UK staff usage numbers having reduced both before and as a consequence of the pandemic. The successful sale of the building shortly before the year end added a significant top-up to our reserves. A smaller rented space has been found for the UK staff team which adequately suits our current needs.
Excluding the proceeds and costs relating to the office sale, the deficit in unrestricted funds over the year was £173,250. One off giving from individuals and trusts fell short of target, particularly in the UK and US. Following the particularly strong year for unrestricted donation income last year (2020-21) including the UK and HK government furlough scheme support, unrestricted donation income dropped by 31% but remains at a higher level than the 2019-20 year. Regular giving has stayed steady and has slightly exceeded expectation. Moreover, unrestricted expenditure rose compared with last year but mainly this is due to fewer core costs being covered by restricted funding.
Restricted income has dropped by 17% with £230,000 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.
Following the office sale, reserves at the year end were high, held mostly in cash at bank and well above our policy of holding three months' budgeted unrestricted expenditure. The trustees will seek to make best use of the high level of reserves by considering how to optimise cash flow and invest the surplus funds over the coming years.
We continue to expect unrestricted funding next year to be uncertain and the 2022-23 budget is expecting a small deficit, which will be funded as required by reserves. The organisation does not intend to rely on these reserves to meet routine expenditure. As such there remains a need to grow unrestricted fundraising in order to support the strategy roll out and associated growth targets.

Trustees’ Annual Report
The Trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 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 the 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.
Fundraising activity
Viva’s fundraising is led by paid staff based in the UK 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 62 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
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.
COVID-19
The charity continues to adapt to the challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. During the year, some operations and activities which had been limited in 20/21 have resumed, such as programmes being run in person again. We have also been offering catch-up education resources and support through programmes of Learning Support Centres in several countries.
Staff have been increasingly working together in offices but are still allowed the opportunity to work from home for a large proportion of their hours. Our systems are well adapted for this.
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 2021-22, including the proceeds form the sale of the UK office and a small deficit budget for 2022-23.
-
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 facilities to manage cashflow requirements, especially with the increase in cash reserves provided by the office sale. 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.
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
13
encouraging them to train for a life in the community as God intended.
Financial Policies and Information
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:
-
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.
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 £1,323,937 which is 417 days of our budget for 2022-23. The property sale which generated these high reserves was completed just prior to the year-end. The Trustees will consider during the following year how best to utilise these reserves and to invest the surplus funds until needed.
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 two 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 £8,000 from their contributions.

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
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Viva Network (the “parent charity”) and its subsidiaries (the “group”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 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).
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 2022 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
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
16
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
Responsibilities of the trustees
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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
17
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.
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.
-
(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.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022
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.
cash reserves provided by the office sale. The trustees therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity holds unrestricted, free reserves of £1,323,937 and a cash balance of £1,563,415. 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
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).
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.
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 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 2021-22, including the proceeds from the sale of the UK office and a small deficit budget for 2022-23.
-
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 facilities to manage cashflow requirements, especially with the increase in
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
22

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: |
| Property 2% |
| Furniture and fittings 15% |
| Office equipment 33.3% |
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 2022. 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
23
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022
Viva Network
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 services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
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 insignificant and is charged as a separate administrative cost.
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
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.
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.
24
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022
Viva Network
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 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 was held at original purchase price less depreciation of the buildings element and not revalued, until sale in the 21/22 year.
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. The freehold property was sold during the year.

No trustee received any remuneration or benefits in kind in either year.
The total amount received by employees for redundancy and termination payments during the year was £10,914 (2021: £51,400). No further amounts were owed as of 31 March 2022.
No employee received regular remuneration amounting to more than £60,000 in either year.
The trustees consider members of the "Leadership Team" as disclosed elsewhere in these accounts to be the key management personnel. These staff received £265,410 (2021: £367,313 ) in salaries, employer national insurance and employer pension contributions during the year. The prior year costs include the appropriate element of costs relating to a restructuring of the organisation. There has also been a slight adjustment of the membership of the Leadership Team due to workloads.
Support costs are allocated proportionally, based on the average number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees during the year.
| Raising funds Developing international partnerships Developing local networks Developing effective mobilisation Support staff |
Year Ending 2022 FTE Staff 4.54 0.20 12.29 0.62 3.92 21.57 |

The average headcount for 2022 was 27.42 (2021: 29.75).
For the purposes of measuring headcount, staff on maternity leave have been excluded but staff on furlough in 20/21 have been included, even if their contracts ended or they were made redundant at the end of their furlough period.
In addition to the employed staff, the average monthly number of volunteer staff offering services to the group were 0.33 full-time
equivalents and if remunerated at appropriate comparable rates to paid staff would have cost us £7,642. None of these volunteer staff, nor
any person connected with them has received or is due to receive any remuneration for the year directly from the Charity.
