The main focus of this difficult Pandemic year was quite simply keeping up and running and doing our best to provide teaching, therapy and support for our students and their families throughout multiple nationwide lockdowns. The staff are now excellent at providing this kind of online mentoring and have worked out and fine tuned the best way to give effective support to our students when they are not physically at the centre. We had to lose two of our key UK staff, but we ended the year with a full set of local staff still employed and a full set of students back at the school, and this felt like a significant achievement.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

2021 was a difficult year for us, as it was for most other people, organisations and businesses throughout the world. Although the Covid19 Pandemic had severely impacted Vietnam’s business and tourism industry in the previous year, Vietnam had managed to largely keep the virus at bay. However, by 2021, it was no longer able to do so, and Covid began to extract a heavy death toll within the country. The whole country closed down internally and workers from the countryside who had been working in the big cities (particularly Ho Chi Minh City, which was hit particularly hard and had gone into a military lockdown) were forced to return to their hometown, resulting in a mass exodus. For our school, this of course resulted in long closures. We were in lockdown from 15 February - 23 March, 29 April - 1st June and 27 July - 6 October. During this time, the teachers and therapists gave online lessons to their students (where possible) and video training to parents, in order to maintain the development goals that the children had already reached. This was not possible in all cases, with some parents having learning difficulties of their own, or living in the countryside and having poor internet connection or no smartphone. However, it was possible to conduct some kind of programme for most of the children and their families at this time, and in some cases, the students developed remarkably.

Finances were of course hit during this period. Many people and businesses were unable to maintain their donations to our programme. In May, our Business Director, Nick Keegan, who had worked with us for 14 years took voluntary redundancy, followed the following month by our marketing and fundraising manager, Chris Ephgrave. Director and cofounder, Jackie Wrafter, took over their workloads. Every attempt was made to maintain the salaries of the local staff.

During this time of fear and confusion, some work was able to carry on at the school during the periods that it was allowed to open. An aquaponics project that had been planned by Chris Ephgrave stalled after his leaving. However, two ex-pats living in Vietnam, engineer Erik van der Wielen, and welder Neville Foley, stepped in to assist and work on the project. By the end of this period, most of the structure for the project was finally set up and just awaiting some finishing touches. And amazingly, a swimming project for the students that had been planned by Australian NGO Waterskills for Life, was also able to go ahead in the periods in between lockdown.

By October, the children were able to return to school and there were no further lockdowns this year. This was due to the massive, nationwide vaccine roll out that the Vietnamese government had undertaken throughout the year. By the end of this period, all of our staff had been vaccinated twice and in December, the older students also received their first vaccines. There were no more Covid waves in Vietnam this year, and although the borders of the country remained closed and tourism and business was a non-entity, we were able to return to a semblance of normality at our school and resume normal, daily lessons and therapy sessions. At the end of this period, we were amazed and relieved to find ourselves still intact and functioning after this rollercoaster of a year.

Section E Financial review

We hold a total cash balance of £138,584 in our bank accounts at the end Brief statement of the of the financial year. charity’s policy on reserves As part of our policy of demonstrating good financial management practice, we aim to hold 9 to 12 months of operating funds in reserves at the end of each financial year. The total cash balance of £138,584 represents approximately 9 months of expenditure at current monthly expenditure rates. The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on our finances but we are committed to ensuring that the organisation remains sustainable for the foreseeable future. The setting aside of these reserve funds is therefore intended to guard against possible future loss or reduction of income, and ensure continued delivery of services in Viet Nam.

Charity no 1094902 (if any) (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in responsibilities of accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 the 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 In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my statement attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
