Review of activities for the year and future developments
## 2.7 SPE ACHIEVEMENTS
## 2.7.1
The 2020-2021 Financial Year, which saw the COVID 19 Pandemic, was an incredibly challenging year for Soft Power Education. When global travel came to a standstill in March 2020 we were faced with a loss of income from cancelled events, fundraising activities and our volunteers being unable to travel to Uganda.
Prior to the lockdown we completed the painting at the new staff house built at Buwala Primary School thanks to the Berkshire Scouts and resources were distributed to 12 new LEAP partner schools in preparation for the start of the second LEAP cycle.
We completed the renewal of our NGO certificate for a further five years and completed registration with the Financial Intelligence Authority, which was introduced as a new regulation for all NGOs.
in March 2020 with the global pandemic worsening and future income uncertain, we had to take the difficult decision to close the Learning and Education for All Programme (LEAP) and the Earth Power Project with immediate effect. We also had to take the tough decision to make 13 team members redundant. We are proud that we were able to provide each member with a financial package according to how long they had worked for Soft Power Education.
On 20" March 2020 all schools were closed, pupils were sent home and a country-wide lockdown was imposed on 25" March 2020 with transport in both public and private vehicles banned.
We were forced to make some significant expenditure cuts due to a limited forecast of income for the remainder of the year. We gave notice on our office in Jinja town and in July we relocated all resources and equipment to the Amagezi Education Centre in Bujagali.
We immediately launched an emergency appeal through our supporter network and trialled the use of an online donation option through Stripe, which linked to a new Client Relationship Management system (CRM) called Donorfy to collect all the information about our donors. This was a key plan for the 2020-2021 financial year. The introduction of the CRM and online donation tool proved incredibly successful with over £20,000 raised through the emergency appeal. Throughout 2020 details of past donors and their connections to SPE were added to begin a process of minimising the amount of organisational history held by individuals.
Our Country Director took part in the 2.6 Challenge, which replaced the cancelled London Marathon, raising over £2,000. We also held our first online quiz night, which raised £200. 5.
As restrictions began to ease in July 2020 and with permission from the Jinja District COVID-19 Taskforce, we supported our pre-school children by providing a learning pack and supported their families with a food parcel containing posho, beans, rice, sugar and soap. Furthermore we supported the families and children in our Special Needs Programme through the provision of multiple food parcels. In total we delivered 1,565kgs of rice and beans, 1,765kgs of posho, 540kgs of sugar and 550 bars of soap.
When restrictions eased in September 2020, we began delivering home therapy services to our SEN children and between September and November we were able to deliver 398 home visits to 78 families in our SEN Programme. We also supported 7 families with the provision of assistive devices such as parallel bars, standing frames, walking bars and support walkers.
We, sadly, lost 5 children from our SEN Programme in 2020 and this led to the introduction of a condolence policy for any children that pass on from the SEN Programme to support their families.
Our School Infrastructure Programme Team and some of our casual workers were hired on a contract basis, which gave the casual workers an opportunity to earn some income to be able to support their families.
During the financial year we worked on strengthening our board and moved to monthly online meetings, which provided much needed support to the Ugandan team. A commitment was also made to improve the diversity of our board and we took part in a programme called Transform led by the organisation Getting On Board.
Throughout the year, we continued to pay all of our team members their full salaries with a midmonth payment option and continued the staff savings scheme, which all members were immensely grateful for. We also made use of the time to update and improve some SPE policies such as the SPE Financial Management Policy and the Procurement Manual. A Staff Loan Policy was also drafted and approved by the board allowing our team members to access a loan of up to one month’s salary if they have the equivalent saved in the savings scheme to act as collateral.
## 2.8 Shortcomings
The funding is limited to allow SPE to reach out to all needed community project schools.
## 2.9 Future Plans

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

## 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:
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
