KISS continues to work with vulnerable children and their families in Uganda with the provision of both formal and vocational education and other supportive activities including healthcare. Key activities include funding of education and education support, healthcare to enable access to education and family support including VSLAs (The Village Savings and Loans Associations) to enable access to education. KiSS continues to develop its agricultural project with is key to address a local need for vocational education.
In addition, we support social networks that help and nurture the children and their families such as weekly pastoral meetings, sports, and homework groups.

4. Review of financial position
The charity had net expenditure for the year of £3,807 (2019: net income of £56,621). The wide variation in net income between 2019 and 2020 is mostly caused by two main factors:
-
2019 net income included £34,215 late receipt of donations from KiSS Week 2018 at the St John Henry Newman School. Adjusting for it, net incomes in 2019 would have been £22,406.
-
The COViD-19 crisis forced the cancellation of KiSS Week 2019 at the St John Henry Newman School.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KISS - KIDDIES SUPPORT SCHEME
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020, which are set out on pages 4 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
(iii) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
