Romania suffering from HIV or AIDS and/or
any other special needs by the provision of
holiday accommodation in Romania for the
benefit of such children and where
applicable their families.
2. The advancement ofthe Christian Faith.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Education and training of young people;
provision of such medical care as may be
necessary for their good health; the relief of
poverty among these young people and their
families; provision of appropriate accommod-
ation at our holiday home, Casa Valentin in

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 1. Holiday Visits:COVID-19 regulations have
prohibited holiday visits by children this year,
but this summer we were allowed to
welcome local orphanages for a short break
instead, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
2. Shoe Boxes:as a direct result of the UK
leaving the European Union, the Romanian
government introduced stringent new laws
that prevented our charity from delivering the
usual supply of Shoe Boxes to children
attending school in the four villages involved
this Christmas. Alternative means of sending
the boxes were considered but proved too
expensive. Ultimately we supplied food
parcels to a number of families locally, along
with the Social Programme children. We
were also able to give toys to the latter, as
well as their classmates in the village
schools.
3. Ukraine/Russian War:in February 2020,
when Russia first invaded Ukraine, the
charity was asked by the Mayor of Cataloi if
Casa Valentin could be used as a clearing
station for refugees crossing into Romania at
nearby Isaacea. Our trustees readily agreed
to allow this and by the end of March, a
number of refugee families had been
transferred to other villages and towns in
Romania.

Financial Review

financial position at the end

three times what we started with – at the
beginning of the year we had £6621 ending
the year with £17357 – which was most
helpful in view of the needs of the Ukrainian
Refugees at this time.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 As a faith mission we do not hold any basic
reserves, relying on our donors to provide
the necessary funding each year. We are
grateful for the Gift Aid that we receive
annually from the government.
