## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

The Management Committee present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. The Management Committee confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required. 

## **Financial review** 

Having weathered the storm of the global Covid pandemic, like many NGOs, the charity has gone on to face the consequences of the global economic downturn, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. 

However, despite the escalation in energy prices, cost-of-living squeeze, higher interest rates and inflation, the Trustees are delighted that the Charity has still been able to secure a substantial amount of multi-year project income; building reserves and helping to ensure the sustainability of the charity for the future.  Due to the generosity of our core donors, income for the current year is 23% ahead of prior year.  Incoming resources were £1,178,609 (2022: £957,434). 

The resources expended in furtherance of the charitable objectives are set out in Note 4 to the Financial Statements and were £1,065,498 (2022: £957,794), reflecting some “catch up” to South Africa based project work following on from the covid pandemic, together with the expansion of our ‘in house’ programmatic work with refugees in the UK.  This resulted in a net surplus of £20,586 (2022: deficit £69,908). 

As a result, the Charity's reserves at the end of the period were £1,014,732 (2022: £994,146) of which General Unrestricted Funds amounted to £269,326 (2022: £507,003). This includes £36,015 (2022: £47,059) of designated funds, that whilst being unrestricted, are ring-fenced by the Trustees for specific charitable purposes. Whilst General Unrestricted funds have dropped by 47% versus prior year, this is partly due to timing differences and the delayed receipt of one substantial donation into 2023-24. 

Using income generated in the period together with brought forward reserves, charitable expenditure was 92% (2022: 93%) of total expenditure, providing further essential investment in the Charity's high impact programmes in HIV/AIDS, healthcare, and trauma resilience in South Africa and the UK. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Charity is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 22 January 2001 and is a Charity constituted under this Memorandum, registered Charity number, 1086159. 

The One to One Children's Fund strives to help some of the most vulnerable children in the world deal with disease, trauma and disability. 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

## **Grant making policies** 

The charity regularly reviews its project funding needs. All new funding proposals are reviewed by the Programme and Finance and Fundraising Committees and full Trustee Board to ensure that they meet with the charity's strategy and objectives. 

## **Finance and Fundraising Strategy** 

The Board of One to One Children's Fund includes a Finance and Fundraising Committee, which meets quarterly to review management accounts, cash flow forecasts and fundraising strategy, as well as governance risk management and HR policies. 

## **Executive staff and pay policy** 

The Executive Chairman, in conjunction with the Executive Director, lead a small team of staff, supported by two senior consultants, advising on programmes and finance / accounting. Staff remuneration is set by the Executive Chair and the Treasurer, aiming to be in line with salaries paid in comparable organisations taking into account experience required. Staff pay is revised annually, when deemed affordable for the Charity. 

## **Investment policy** 

In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. The Charity has a policy of keeping surplus liquid funds in short term deposits. This low risk investment policy provides the flexibility in making charitable grants and ensures the Charity has adequate funds to meet ongoing project commitments and administration costs in accordance with its reserves policy. 

## **Activities for achieving objectives** 

During the year, the charity delivered programmes in South Africa and the UK. 

## **Statement regarding relationship between One to One Children’s Fund and One to One Africa** 

One to One Africa Children's Fund NPC was incorporated in South Africa in 2014 as an independent, nonprofit company. One to One Children's Fund UK is its parent organisation. The core objective of the charity is the support of children and young people affected by trauma and to relieve the suffering, hardship and neglect they may be experiencing as a result. 

One to One Africa focuses on delivering localised, community-led interventions which fill the gaps in care to improve children's access to healthcare and support. 

One to One Africa receives funding from One to One Children’s Fund to deliver programmes which have been developed in partnership. The two organisations have a Memorandum of Understanding ratified by both Boards that outlines the nature of the partnership and reporting requirements. 

David Altschuler, Co-founder and Chair of One to One Children’s Fund, is the Chair of One to One Africa Children’s Fund NPC, whose Board also includes One to One Children’s Fund Trustees, Jenny Altschuler and Jonathan Penkin and One to One Children’s Fund Executive Director Catriona Fox.

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

## **Risk management** 

The Management Committee has assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to operations and finance, and is satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

The Trustees have formalised their risk assessment and governance procedures to include a full review of the risk register, compiled by the Trustees and executive staff at least twice annually. 

The register is used as a management tool and risk management is part of all Trustee decisions. As a result, the financial health and operational effectiveness of the Charity is maintained in the best possible state. The Trustees delegate responsibility for day-to-day management of risks to the Executive Chair.  The risk register identifies the following significant residual risks after controls and safeguards: 

- over-reliance on a small number of key donors 

- currency fluctuations and/or inflation creating resource shortfalls which may impact delivery of programmes 

- accountability gaps and communication issues between One to One Children’s Fund and One to One Africa 

In mitigation, we have a programme to broaden our financial support, and a currency management policy is in place to minimise the currency fluctuation risk.  There are regularised meetings between UK and SA staff, UK Trustee representation on the SA Board, and a planned joint UK/SA Committee to be established to ensure accountability, shared mission, and process. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The core objective of the charity is to provide care and support to children and young people affected by trauma and chronic illness, including families living with HIV, and to aspire to help each child reach their potential. 

One to One Children’s Fund’s vision is a world where every child has access to care and education to enable them to realise their potential, lead a fulfilling life and feel valued. The Charity’s Mission is to improve the well-being and life chances of children, young people and families affected by dislocation, poverty and chronic illness, such as HIV.  It seeks to address core gaps in physical and mental healthcare by developing innovative peer leadership models in neglected and under-served communities, and using local knowledge to build the capacity of those best placed to respond. 

One to One Children's Fund focuses on delivering localised, community-led interventions. We identify and fill the gaps in care to improve children's access to healthcare and support and build models at grassroots level, which can, as they become established and impact proven, be adopted and replicated by governments, civil society organisations and local NGOs to ensure sustainability. 

We seek to transform short and long term outcomes for young people and build practical and effective pathways to ensure that the future for every participant is a positive one. One to One Children’s Fund aims to be a consistent beacon of good practice in our charitable missions to create delivery models that we can hand over for governments or local NGOs to scale up, embed, and develop and extend so it is ultimately sustainable. 

The Charity leverages local knowledge and lived experience and builds the capability of those best placed to respond to the needs of vulnerable children and their families in the community - health professionals, teachers, peer mentors and local civil society organisations. Our key focus currently is on children,

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

adolescents and families affected by HIV and associated trauma in South Africa and a programme in the UK working with refugees. Our key delivery partner in South Africa is One to One Africa Children’s Fund who are working side by side with us to develop models that are scalable and replicable. Our approach can be summarized as follows: 

We **INNOVATE** by identifying where crucial gaps exist to pilot new, evidence-based approaches to tackle the greatest risks facing children and young people. 

We **ESCALATE** successful programmes, using a strong evidence base to refine and expand holistic, costeffective interventions into new communities. 

We **GRADUATE** programmes by embedding proven models into local systems and integrating them into government structures or local civil society organisations. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Each project is described more fully on the Charity's website at www.onetoonechildrensfund.org and a summary of the expenditure incurred on these projects is included in note 12 of the Financial Statements. 

## **SOUTH AFRICA PROGRAMME** 

## **Enable** 

The _Enable_ programme - our model for transforming community healthcare in Eastern Cape - trains local women to become Mentor Mothers.  Operating in remote and rural areas where there is very limited healthcare, the Mentor Mothers form a trusted source of support to families and provide the most vulnerable expectant mothers and young children with door-to-door healthcare interventions from pregnancy until the child is 5 years old. The key to the _Enable_ model is that it brings healthcare out of the clinic and into last mile communities with our team of community-based Mentor Mothers providing proactive not reactive care. 

Enable has been in operation since 2016 and in the last year, we commenced Phase 3 of our Enable project which sees us deepen our impact and expand our reach. We now have a team of 40 Mentor Mothers (including nurse coordinators and supervisors) who delivered healthcare to 5,500 mothers and children living in 31 villages. We have taken on new villages in the last year, which according to the baseline data have considerably worse health outcomes than in the Enable area; demonstrating both the need and impact of our Enable programme. 

- As a snapshot of their achievements, in the last year, the Enable programme has been able to ensure that: - 58% of pregnant women are now attending their four antenatal appointments, 80% of underweight children are rehabilitated, and 89% of children are vaccinated - all crucial building blocks for improved health outcomes. 

- HIV rates continue to be high in the project area and HIV prevention continues to be a key plank to our work: 98% of pregnant women know their status, 91% of babies to pregnant women have received PCR testing, and 94% of pregnant women who are HIV+ are adhering to their ART – combined this has ensured HIV transmission from mother to child is down to almost 0%. Since 2016, just one baby has been born with HIV in our project area. 

- Poverty is deep-rooted in the communities in which the Mentor Mothers operate, as such the programme has ensured that 81% of children are registered to receive child support grants. With malnutrition becoming an increasing concern, _Enable_ is providing nutritional support to all families through partnerships with other agencies to deliver multiple micronutrient supplements for children between 1- 6 years; nutritional porridge for children between 2 - 16 years (3400 packs/month); weekly food parcels for extremely food insecure households; as well as food garden start up kits.

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

_Ayanda (26 years) was 4 months pregnant and newly diagnosed with HIV when she was visited by Nokwanda, a Mentor Mother during house-to-house registrations. Realizing that Ayanda was in denial and had not fully accepted her status, Nokwanda enrolled her into the Enable programme and provided ongoing counselling and support. Ayanda was initiated on ART treatment and has adhered to her treatment. In the 5th month of her pregnancy, Ayanda started having complications, the Mentor Mother referred her to Canzibe Hospital. On the 28th October 2022, Ayanda gave birth to two healthy baby boys. Both twins’ PCR tests at birth were negative._ 

## _Deepening our impact_ 

As our roots have deepened and our learning has grown out of the Mentor Mother programme, we have been developing a more integrated approach. Improved health outcomes depend on multifactorial influences, and indeed, improved health is just one outcome towards improved life chances for children. In addition, In the last year, we have also launched our two new components of (i) early play learning (ii) mentor brothers and are developing the final component (iii) deepening our work with adolescents. 

- (i) Using the Mentor Mother methodology of getting out of a facility and going into the community to deliver an initiative, a team of 5 specifically-trained early play learning (EPL) Mentor Mothers have delivered literacy initiatives to 1,000 caregivers and their children. These caregivers are existing participants in the Enable programme. These activities are part of a broader 10-month EPL intervention that will cover toy-based structured play learning, book learning and responsive and positive parenting sessions to caregivers. The key plank of the intervention is the toy-based play learning, which is grounded in the research of Professor Lorraine Sherr of UCL who co-developed the curriculum with us.  It is based on evidence that play is essential to positive development outcomes. The sessions are structured for graded learning and encourage caregivers and their children to integrate play into their daily routine at home. 

- (ii) 10 Champions for Change (Mentor Brothers) have been recruited and trained and over 500 men have been identified as project participants. The aim of this component is to empower men to challenge discrimination and inequality through the provision of safe spaces to discuss issues, increasing their positive involvement with their partners’ health, equipping them to be responsive parents and addressing gender-based violence. There has been thorough preparatory work with community leaders and the broader community to understand the issues, how to best engage men, and build understanding of the value of the project.  The project will meet the men where they are in the community and facilitate community events. There has been considerable interest and engagement from men so far. 

- (iii) In 2022, 31% of pregnant mothers on the Enable programme were adolescents. In response, we plan to recruit and train 10 Peer Mentors to provide age and gender appropriate HIV and sexual reproductive health (SRH) information and referrals. The Peer Mentors will be trained in our Better Together curriculum, which has been delivered in Groote Schurr Hospital since 2018 and is proven to effectively educate and change behaviour around SRH and gender inequalities. The Peer Mentors will facilitate support groups in the community setting and will refer young people who require clinical HIV or SRH services or nutritional support.  The Enable community nurse will deliver weekly clinics. The Peer Mentors will be managed by a social worker who can take on cases, as appropriate. Activities will commence in the next Quarter. 

## _Working with government to adopt the Enable model_ 

Over the last year, we have been able to make considerable progress towards our strategic goal to expand the Enable model through government adoption. The provincial government has demonstrated a commitment to adopt the _One to One_ methodology for the delivery of community child and maternal 

healthcare. We have invested resource to build our relationship with key, relevant government stakeholders in the Eastern Cape. The South African government has been trying to implement a country-wide ward based primary healthcare outreach team (WBPHCOT) strategy, using master trainers to train CHW trainers and mentors. It's been slow to implement and they have been struggling. With our strong relations with

## **THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

provincial government, One to One has been able to position itself to provide the solution. In February, _One to One_ made a presentation at a provincial meeting for WBPHCOT team managers.  The meeting resolved that _One to One's_ work must be scaled up to cover the whole province. The immediate actions agreed were (1) an Impact Assessment be conducted on the work with the current 8 facilities where _One to One_ is delivering training and support (2) alignment of the _One to One_ training methodology with the community component of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses Training methodology.  Crucially, key Managers were identified in the meeting to work on developing the scale up. The next step will be to roll out Enable training to all health facilities in Nyandeni, prioritising the five Wards identified for anti-poverty alleviation, and then the whole Eastern Cape. 

The plan is for _One to One_ to train 50 government master trainers in the Eastern Cape who will then cascade the training down to the community health workers (CHWs). We have a team of experienced Mentor Mothers who have been trained to deliver the bulk of the training alongside our programme team and a newly recruited qualified nurse. In order to ensure quality assurance, _One to One_ will also train the clinic facility managers and operation managers, and will provide follow up technical support and visits. 

## **Better Together** 

The Better Together programme, created by Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) in partnership with _One to One_ , is one of the first to identify the advantages of bringing together young people who live with HIV and other chronic health conditions, especially when it comes to overcoming the sense of isolation and stigma. Better Together trains peer mentors under clinical supervision to provide peer support to young people living with HIV and other chronic illnesses at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. _One to One_ is working with Groote Schuur hospital to hone this approach, creating a new model of peer-led support groups that help young people cope with their illness on a physical, psychological and social level. 

After significant disruption to activities in our Better Together Programme due to COVID-19, the full range of activities have resumed over the last year. 

In the last year, 10 Peer Mentors have delivered sessions to 138 young people through weekly groups and individual counselling. The sessions have become increasingly varied and innovative. Groups now often start with an activity - a karate group or hip-hop dance class have proved particularly popular.  These activity-focused sessions often lead to meaningful discussions after the activity is complete. The project has also seen increasing input from the group participants with the young people suggesting their own topics for sessions. All groups continue to be co-facilitated by a psychologist to provide appropriate support and take up issues individually. Even with the return of face-to-face meetings the WhatsApp and Facebook groups continue, and the Peer Mentors also provide support telephonically. 

A child experiencing chronic illness impacts the whole family and Better Together also provides parent support groups in waiting rooms and specific support for at-risk families. Economic difficulties faced by the young people have impacted the project with young people, and their parents, struggling to afford transport to get to the hospital. They are cut off from the project and its benefits, often at a time when they need the psychological support the most. As we go forwards we will build some transport costs into the project. There has also been increased demand from young people living with HIV who are in need of peer and mental health support. 

In order to understand the impact of Better Together, we have commissioned research to explore the impact of the intervention on adolescents’ resilience, internalised stigma, adherence behaviour and mental wellbeing have been conducted. 

Our goal is to expand the impact and reach of Better Together. We have developed a toolkit for replication and this has been shared with organisations in Malawi, Zambia and South Africa and presented at the PATA Summit attended by healthcare workers in 26 sub-Saharan African countries. Technology is key to the scale up of Better Together and a mobile health app has been developed to aid recruitment, capture

real time data, increase understanding of impact to improve project delivery, and be an information-sharing resource. 

## **UK PROGRAMME** 

## **Future Leaders** 

The Future Leaders Programme is a leadership course specifically for refugees and asylum seekers aged between 18 and 27. We work towards empowering these young people, who have sought sanctuary in the UK, to reach their full potential and contribute positively to their communities. Online workshops, and one-toone mentoring led by inspirational leaders from across the UK help the participants develop a range of new skills and a supportive network, empowering them to support others in their own community. Towards the end of the programme, each participant is teamed up with an experienced professional who will be their coach to take them through a coaching programme run by our partner organisation, CIRCL. Following successful completion of the Future Leaders Course, graduates become a part of a dynamic and diverse network of leaders spread across the UK. 

This year, we conducted two leadership cohorts with 30 participants along with various alumni events. 45% of participants were male and 55% were female with an average age of 23 years from 18 different nationalities. We had over 95% attendance rate. Our programme, comprising nine expert-led modules, covers topics including employability skills, creative writing, confidence-building and communication. Our objective is to unlock and develop each participant’s potential. Along with the workshops, students undertake readings and assignments and receive a Certificate in Professional Learning through the CIRCL coaching programme. We received almost 150 applications from young people supported by 37 referral organisations from 43 towns and cities across UK. We incorporate lived experience into our approach by recruiting alumni as interns who assist in managing the programme and contribute insights for our direction and strategy. 

- 100% of our graduates feel more confident and empowered in navigating life in the UK since completing the Future Leaders programme and 100% feel more able to contribute positively to their community. 

- Over 70% feel they have a clear plan for the next two years of life since completing the programme. 

- • 100% of graduates would recommend the Future Leaders Programme to others. 

In the coming year, we will conduct four cohorts and aspire to leverage the experiences of our alumni by building the network and alumni events. 

## **Joint Refugee Action Network.** 

Established in 2020, JRAN is an online community supported by One to One, of over 150 organisations aiding displaced people in the UK. Its free membership offers updates, research, and event details to any organisation interested in refugee support. In the last year, JRAN has continued and deepened its activities to further its aims to i) create and develop a community of organisations and individuals within the refugee sector ii) share knowledge, skills and connections, iii) mobilise, strengthen and take joint action to bring about positive change in refugee-related policy and service delivery through shared values. JRAN further expanded its nationwide connections across the refugee sector to include educational institutions, health services, and volunteer groups. Its extensive experience uniquely enables JRAN to unite frontline organisations in providing direct, systemic solutions to refugee challenges. To identify sector needs and strategic gaps, JRAN maintains email communication with its members, event attendees, and Roundtable Forum participants. 

Previous forum findings, field experiences, and ongoing relationships with key aid-providing organisations indicate a persistent need for emotional wellbeing support for refugees, families, and trauma victims. In response, JRAN held a series of forums focusing on the emotional wellbeing challenges encountered by displaced people in the UK, and the accessibility of relevant services. One forum report insight emphasised the need to initiate mental health support earlier, given that achieving refugee status in the desired country

## **THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT (continued)** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

can take over a decade. In response to this, JRAN maintains an online directory of member organisations offering crucial support to new arrivals in the UK. 

## **Going Concern** 

One to One Children's Fund remains well placed to manage the operational and financial risks it faces.  As noted above, despite a difficult fundraising environment, the Charity still managed to increase income by more than 20% this year. 

As at 31 March 2023 the Charity had reserves in excess of £1m at £1,014,732, (2022: £994,146).  This, together with the continued support and commitment of our major funders have given the Trustees substantial confidence in the Charity’s ability to continue operating into the foreseeable future. 

Further, the Trustees have prepared detailed monthly projections, and undertaken sensitivity analysis to demonstrate that the Charity will be able to deal with reasonable downside scenarios. It is on this basis therefore that the Trustees remain confident over the Charity’s ability to continue as a Going Concern. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have adopted a policy that, where possible, a general fund cash reserve covering 3 months running costs of the Charity will be maintained. Three months regular running costs (being staff and ongoing support costs) for this year amounted to just over £177,000. The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2023 (excluding designated funds and fixed assets) were £188,917.  This adequately covers the Charity's reserves policy criteria and provides a cushion for seasonal cash flow fluctuations that impact the organisation from time to time, plus the uncertainty that the charity may now face as a result of unforeseen circumstances, such as the ongoing market impact of the war in Ukraine. 

## **Looking forward** 

One to One has a three-year strategy 2020 – 2023 to:  1) deepen and expand our existing programmes – Enable, Bright Start and Better Together - in South Africa and 2) build the sustainability of the work by (i) strengthening One to One Africa in its organisation, fundraising and governance capability and (ii) building our relationships with relevant government systems and organisations that will assist with scale-up. 

This strategy is reconfirmed but there is a particular focus on building the sustainability of One to One Africa over the next three years with a view to moving the locus of decision-making to South Africa. There is now a stated goal to support One to One Africa to become a sustainable and self-reliant organisation through: 1) Active and successful fundraising; raising 70% of funds directly 2) Impactful child and maternal health projects, partnered with government, with results disseminated and recognised by key stakeholders 3) Appropriately-trained and motivated staff team with adequately resourced head office and projects 4) Good governance and strong process to assure accountability. One to One Children’s Fund will support One to One Africa to build capacity over the next three years and during this transition time will continue to provide strategic and programmatic guidance, financial oversight and fundraising income and networks. All work supported in this financial year was in line with this strategy and in the coming year we will monitor progress against our strategic goals.

## **THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN'S FUND** 

## **OPINION** 

We have audited the financial statements of The One to One Children’s Fund (the 'Fund') for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 16 to 31. 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). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its 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; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 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** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- The Management Committee use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- The Management Committee have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## **OTHER INFORMATION** 

The Management Committee are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.

**THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN'S FUND** 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in The Management Committee report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES** 

As explained more fully in The Management Committee responsibilities statement, The Management Committee (who are also the directors of the charitable Fund for the purposes of company law) 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 The Management Committee 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 Management Committee are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 Management Committee either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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 Auditors' 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. 

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 Auditors' report. 

## **EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT EXTENT THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD** 

The objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud or error; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud or error; and to respond appropriately to those risks. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial

**THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a. Basis of Preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charity 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. 

The One to One Children’s Fund is a charitable company limited by guarantee.  It is registered in England and Wales (charity number 1086159). The registered office is at  213 Haverstock Hill, Belsize Park, London NW3 4QP. 

## **b. Key Judgements and Assumptions in applying Accounting Policies** 

There are no key judgements or assumptions used in applying the accounting policies. 

## **c. Company status** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Management Committee named on page 1.  In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. 

## **d. Preparation of the Accounts on a Going Concern basis** 

The Trustees have prepared detailed monthly projections, and undertaken sensitivity analysis to demonstrate that the Charity will be able to deal with reasonable downside scenarios.  The Charity remains well placed to manage the operational and financial risks it faces from the on-going impact of the Covid-19 emergency, as set out in Management Committee's on page 2 to 12.  It is on the above basis therefore that the Trustees remain confident over the Charity’s ability to continue as a Going Concern. 

## **e. Incoming Resources** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. In line with the charity Statement of Recommended Practise (the SORP), where such criteria are satisfied, income is recognised even though funds may have been received in advance of the associated project expenditure. 

Donated services or facilities are recognised 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 of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the value of 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 

- 20 - 



## **THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **f. Resources Expended** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income. 

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **g. Staff Pensions** 

The One to One Children's Fund operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Charity. Contributions payable in respect of the year were  £269 (2022: £512) of which £nil was outstanding as at 31 March 2023. 

## **h. Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost less depreciation.  These items are depreciated on a straight-line basis so as to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives.  Small items are written off as an expense as acquired. 

Motor vehicle 

20% straight line basis 

## **i. Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the net amount prepaid.

**THE ONE TO ONE CHILDREN’S FUND (A charitable company limited by guarantee)** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

## **j. Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## **k. Creditors** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **l. Fund Accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Management Committee in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds are those unrestricted funds that have been ‘ring-fenced’ by the Charity – in cases where there is a commitment to spend charitable funds, without first securing restricted income to fund this spend. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs 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. 

## **m. Foreign exchange** 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising in the ordinary course of business are included in incoming resources or resources expended. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. 

Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge foreign exchange exposures arising on forecast receipts and payment in foreign currencies. These forward contracts are re-valued to the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date and any aggregate unrealised gains and losses arising on revaluation are included in other debtors/other creditors. At maturity, or when the contract ceases to be a hedge, gains and losses are taken to the profit and loss account. 

## **n. Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **o. Operating Leases** 

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2023** 

## **p. Interest receivable** 

Interest 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.
