EDUKID

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023

Activities of the Charity

The Charity operates a UK Global Citizenship Schools programme to educate pupils on the issues of poverty.

The Charity provides school packs and educational scholarships to those living in poverty in Cambodia, Peru and Uganda.

The Charity provides further support to help break down the barriers to education in Cambodia, Uganda, Peru and Palestine. This includes therapy, IT and building classrooms.

The Charity organises educational trips to Cambodia, Uganda and Peru.

Public Benefit Statement

As trustees of the Charity we have complied with our duty under Charity Law to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

As well as directly benefiting the children and young people to whom it provides education and financial support, the Charity benefits society as a whole by furthering education and ultimately reducing poverty in the countries in which it operates.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Edukid’s Global Citizenship Programme (GCP) for UK schools has now been granted affiliation with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme and we have launched our own Junior School Awards Programme. As a consequence many more schools have now joined the GCP and this in turn has led to more support for our overseas programmes.

We have also been able to secure very significant funding towards our student overseas trips. This in turn has seen a huge increase in turnover. The trips link into our GCP and we therefore feel the quality of our work and the impact on the UK students we connect with has significantly developed.

In these accounts there is no payment to our Peru overseas programme. This is entirely due to a change in transfer dates and consequently the following years accounts will reflect this.

Around 2,600 children in Uganda, Cambodia, Peru and Palestine are supported in education or therapy through the work of Edukid.

Four Cambodian students graduated successfully during the year.

Three students in Uganda have university scholarships.

Around 200 children in Gaza attend the Days of Joy programme that offers up to 10 psychosocial sessions to children suffering from the trauma ofconflict. In the forthcoming year funding will reduce slightly for Days of Joy, but widen to help other countries in conflict, thereby enabling Edukid to share more stories in their GCP.

Around 30,000 children in the UK are involved in Edukid’s UK schools programme.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity reported a deficit of income over expenditure of £53,125 on unrestricted funds not designated for specific purposes in the year. Unrestricted funds stood at £3,667 at 5 April 2023.

It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level which will enable it to continue operating in the event ofa short-term drop in funding. The Trustees consider the current level of free cash reserves to be sufficient for this purpose.

EDUKID REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023

The Trustees have established Designated Funds as follows:

Growth Fund

A sum of £76,000 remains from a legacy received in a previous year which was set aside to allow the Charity to grow sustainably over the next few years.

Cambodia Project Commitment Fund

A sum of £30,000 has been set aside to ensure that the Schools project in Cambodia can continue in the event of a short term drop in funding. This is based on the likely costs of support funding for a 12 month period.

Uganda Project Commitment Fund

A sum of£60,000 has been set aside to ensure that the Schools project in Uganda can continue in the event of a short term drop in funding. This is based on the likely cost of support funding for a 12 month period.

Palestine Project Commitment Fund

This specific project comes to an end at the end of this financial year, due to Edukid broadening it’s support to more countries in conflict.

Peru Project Commitment Fund

A sum of £25,000 has been set aside to set up a new schools project in Peru and ensure that it can still launch in the event ofa short term drop in funding.

Uk Contingency Fund

A sum of £20,000 has been set aside to ensure our UK work can continue for a three month period in the event of a short term drop in funding.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
e observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; e prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Charity is a public benefit entity.

The Charity’s legal form is that ofa Trust, constituted in the United Kingdom.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be qualified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the Charity, are recognised when the Charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Legacies are included when the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made or property transferred and the amount involved can be quantified.

No incoming resources are included in the SOFA net of expenditure.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allowed directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Where the Charity uses other Charities to provide services of disseminative funding on its behalf, these costs are included within Charitable expenditure.
