Description of the charity’s trusts

Type of governing document

Trust Deed dated 23[rd] June 1999 (Amended October 2013)

(eg. trust deed, constitution)

How the charity is constituted

As a charitable trust

(eg. trust, association, company)

Trustee selection methods

(eg. appointed by, elected by)

By resolution of existing Trustees at a special or ordinary trustee’s meeting

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
relationship with any related parties;
trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

As a small charity we have no specific policies on inducting and training new trustees. UK Trustee turnover is small and the need for a specific policy for induction or training was not felt to be necessary. Trustee Self-Evaluation is performed every 3 years and for all new Trustees, when appointed.

The organisational structure is defined and compact and works very well. The main source of networking is currently with Tonkla NGO in Thailand and the work they do and to which we donate funds in order to support, monitor / evaluate.

The other networking occurs with our regular donors in the way of newsletters, feedback of Thailand activities, individual child educational updates, bespoke individual young person, school based, community project support and both impact and outcomes. The addressing of health inequalities, poverty, disease prevention, medical long-term condition support and issues of child protection and safeguarding of the vulnerable remain the key areas that UK Care 4 Thailand support. This has in the past and might continue to include the running of seminars and conferences held in Thailand for UK / International medical and lay leaders.

A simple risk management strategy and policy is endorsed and followed by UK Care 4 Thailand Trustees as well as adhering to Data Protection issues (storing donor’s data); GDPR regulations; child protection and safeguarding policies and anti-discrimination / equality policies – all of which get updated. DBS checks are performed 3 yearly on any UK Trustee, especially for the purpose of covering any face to face based monitoring / evaluation visits to Thailand.

Any contact with vulnerable children by UK donors or Trustees is always fully supervised by Thailand staff and in accordance to the child protection ad safeguarding policies of the UK and Thai organisations respectively.

Our current main collaboration is between UK Care 4 Thailand and Tonkla and this has been successfully established through the development, agreement and implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and both UK and Thai Safeguarding & Child Protection policies.

September 2016

The policy on grant making relates to achieving and following the Objects of the Tonkla trust deed (MOU). This is done with regular liaison and contact with Thailand and the activities on going and how best to support these activities using funds available from UK donations.

Tonkla NGO in Thailand has consistently been able to utilise funds and grants for specific projects and more generic activities that always fulfil our deed of trust Objects.

Other than some supportive financial aid / grants for Thailand staffing of projects and some training courses, there is no specific investment in capital projects.

Many of the UK donors have also visited Thailand and volunteered their time and professional expertise specifically in helping the vulnerable and needy children and families they come into contact with.

Our Trustees all remain volunteers in the time they provide in monitoring and fulfilling Charitable Objects.

Travel expenses/reimbursement for UK Trustees, as previously and formally agreed, are paid for

Section D Achievements and performance

– Project 1 & 2 Child & Young Person Educational Scholarships Summary of the main Individual child & young person educational scholarship donations remain achievements of the charity the essence of the resource and support we can provide to some of during the year Thailand’s most needy and vulnerable children. Our visits to Thailand over the years have affirmed that the Isaan region of Thailand (North-East) remains the neediest. In Thai terms, it is the less developed, rural, poorest area, with high rates of infection, a shorter life expectancy, higher HIV/AIDS rates, increased risk of trafficked children. Our Project 1 and 2 provision reflects this in continuing to provide resources and support to individual children and young people to ensure they complete their education up to compulsory M3 high school level, and hopefully beyond. Project 1 addresses children under the age of 18, Project 2, young people over the aged of 18 still looking to remain in education. Our Trustees have already made links with experienced, established staff working in the NE of Thailand, within an organisation called Tonkla who are able to monitor and develop a child and young person project that will complement the resources we are able to provide through donations received to support Project 1 & 2. If continued donations remain consistent to the UK, we can hope to reestablish support for several of the most vulnerable and needy children and young people. Currently, we support 74 children and their associated families through Project 1 and 2 support. – Project 3 Bespoke Child/YP/Community support The change in provider organisation has given us the opportunity to develop new and innovative support and resource provision to vulnerable and needy communities and adults, as well as to individual children within education. Tonkla have already indicated need for several bespoke projects that can be managed and provide maximal impact on entire communities and these will be developed and explored accordingly. e.g., school & community chicken farming e.g., school-based skills training e.g., Health & Sex education to communities, through community health clinics (rather than through schools) e.g., Individual skills training and small business development through grants to enable micro-enterprise projects to individuals e.g., Community support and cohesion through sponsorship of sports teams including Boys football team (Nasok), girls volleyball team, Ladyboys school volleyball team, community (girls and boys) football training together (Kamcha-I) e.g., Open University skills training (e.g. car mechanics, hairdressing, basket weaving) e.g., House renovation projects e.g., Home sanitation provision

Section D Achievements and erformance p

e.g., Safety and risk reduction through provision of correct equipment and clothing for participation in group sports UK donors have been contacted and asked to consider choosing the area of support they might wish their donation to be directed towards if they have a preference. Other support for Tonkla in Thailand No specific fundraising events have taken place this year although Tonkla will, via a developed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), become the main recipient of UKC4T donations. E.g. - Tonkla setting up expenses (Office space rental, IT equipment) - Christmas gift lists and donations - Tonkla staff support for some salary expenses / educational courses and training needs as and when identified, requested and developed - Tonkla family days, home and school visiting and community support - Support for Tonkla IT backup, security and data protection, including remote / fireproof storage of data to protect and aid disaster recovery processes. - Emergency funding available for Tonkla staff to utilise at their discretion for cases in particular acute need. UK to Thailand support, interaction & contact Historically, as an organisation, UK Care 4 Thailand continues to support the concept of enabling UK donors to meet up and spend time with the families and children they help to support. Originally, this helped the concept of providing Internationally accredited Sexual Health Conferences in Thailand, held successfully in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. In 2010, 2012 and 2015 a different, smaller study tour group went to Thailand with a particular emphasis on Child Protection and Safeguarding education and support. Discussions with Tonkla have indicated their desire to consider running day camps family events and looking to support communities as much as they can as we develop input and impact from all 3 projects, as they develop. Tonkla Foundation – Staffing The UK continue to provide support for Tonkla Staff & Volunteers in many ways. Modest financial support given to individuals during visits provide some support that can be used personally, for specific training and staff needs, especially in areas for governance and probity, such as child protection, and supportive child education and medical updating in key areas of HIV/AIDS care. Trustee Visits to Thailand, Monitoring & Evaluation UK Trustees recognise their duty of care and will find opportunities to visit Thailand to monitor and support the developing Projects as well as to evaluate impact too.

Section D Achievements and erformance p

UK Board trustees have significant experience and expertise in areas such as healthcare (medical and nursing), Health Promotion (Including Sexual health issues e.g. HIV/AIDS prevention & Contraception as well as drug and alcohol support in young people); Safeguarding; child protection; education and counselling. Trustees have agreed to visit Thailand on average every 8-9 months and will be planning to visit, as a minimum, taking at least 3 Trustees along for each visit: - October 2020 (did not occur due to COVID) April 2021 (did not occur due to COVID) October 2021 (did not occur due to COVID) April 2022 October 2022 April 2023 On each visit, there will be a Monitoring / Impact report produced for Trustees, supporters and for Tonkla. Impact due to COVID

COVID has affected vulnerability worldwide, including the poverty and challenges arising from job uncertainty and losses in Isaan and within the communities and families supported by UK donations.

Schools have closed, sporting teams have not between able to meet, train or play, and many ad hoc working arrangements for families have been stopped.

The emergency fund provided by UKC4T to Tonkla was increased and regularly paid. Updates due in June 2021 did not arrive until September and finally get anglicised and sent to supporters in December 2021. Fortunately, direct COVID morbidity and mortality for Thai families appeared very low but the sequalae of losing tourism, work opportunities and income generation has affected many families. UKC4T hope that the vaccination/booster programme in the UK along with the Thai vaccination programme will enable a monitoring visit to take place sometime between April-October 2022 to visit the NE of Thailand again.
