INTERNATIONAL CHILDRENS CARE (UK)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are:

1. To relieve hardship and distress of children anywhere in the world, particularly as a result of being orphaned or otherwise without parental support, by providing children's care facilities and programs including orphanages anywhere in the world, and establishing adoption programs and services, as appropriate.

2. To provide financial support and administration for the operation of children's care facilities and programs, and for the establishment and maintenance of adoption programs and services.

There has been no change in these activities during the year.

The general aims of the Charity are as follows:

1. To provide financial help and assistance to secure, established and organised children's villages that provide a fulfilling and happy family home for orphaned and abandoned children in developing nations.

2. To support the operation of facilities that have 'family style' homes, whereby a local family takes care of 8-10 children, providing a loving environment for those children to call 'home'.

3. To give every child in these facilities an opportunity to further their education to a university education level if they so desire and funding is available to support them.

4. To work to connect children in these facilities with caring sponsors in the UK who want to establish a relationship with a child. Child Sponsors are encouraged to correspond with the child. This connection is important to these children, as ICC works to help the child build a positive self image.

5. To provide childcare that fully develops each child's potential for happiness and security in his/her formative years, whilst preserving his/her natural culture and heritage.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Achievements and performance

S ignificant Highlights from 20 22 i nclude the following:

1) There was the first camp meeting since COVID, however the attendance wasn't as high as in previous years.

• 2) In 2022 ICCUK was able to make all project payments plus a surplus of funds.

3) We have received a couple of gifts from people's wills, which has been gratefully received and passed onto the projects.

• 4) Expenditure like travel and printing has remained low due to no presentations being done at the churches, and we were able to achieve good rates for the camp meeting.

• 5) Social media presence continues to grow.

• 6) Newsletters are now available on our website, so everyone can access up to date information.

• 7) We now have 97 Sponsors in the UK.

• 8) The USA office has now set up a shared folder system, ensuring that we have up to date information constantly.

• 9) We cleared out and handed back our storage unit, reducing our costs.

• 10) All trustees have their own trustee presentation materials.

11) A new trustee Leslene Peat Brown has joined the board of trustees, bringing the total of UK based trustees to four.

Financial review

£14,594 (2021: £9,726) has been paid to projects during the year.

The charity has maintained its positive fund balance in 2022. The reserves at the year end stand at £20,560 (2021: £11,537).

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The charity is working towards this target.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for the future

Promoting the charity with increased C hurch visits - visibility in churches with more posters , leaflets and short clip videos.

Promoting the charity by increased Social Media Marketing , Networking and Community outreach functions.

Better use of relevant and Inhouse printed media, like Church magazine s, leaflets, programs and radio promotions.

We will be looking at opportunities for collaboration with other established UK children's Charit ies , in order to enhance ICCUK position and presence in this Country.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

International Childrens Care (UK) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 4 Marigold Drive, Bisley, Surrey, GU24 9SF, UK.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

The charity meets its day to day working capital requirements through its own cash reserves and occasional support from a related organisation ICC USA.

The trustees have prepared projected cash flow information for the period ending 12 months from the date of these accounts.

On the basis of this cash flow information, the trustees consider that the charity will continue to operate at a modest surplus.

On this basis, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis. The accounts do not include any adjustments that would result from withdrawal of support from ICC USA..

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

L egacies are recognised when the amount to be received is reasonably certain. This is usually on receipt of notification from the executor of an amount to be received.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and machinery

4 years straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at the recoverable amount .

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at the payable amount.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amo unt payable.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(Continued)

1.9 Debtors

Debtors and prepayments are recognised at the amount due.

1.10 Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event and the amount can be reliably measured or estimated.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
