Report on the activities and finances of the Charity for the twelve months ending 30th September 2023
Educational Sponsorship Scheme.
Although we are not taking on any new sponsorships we still have fifty students who are benefitting from the scheme.
A total of thirteen are now studying for higher educational awards with an additional three who are undertaking apprentices.
Day Care Centre for differently abled children.
This continues to flourish with a regular attendance of 31 children. In addition to physiotherapy, we now include recreational therapy and speech therapy.
Starting Point School.
We continue to support this project which has increased the number of children attending to forty. We are not seeking sponsors for those leaving and progressing to full-time education.
Outreach Programme.
We continue to provide monthly food rations to those families who because of medical or physical reasons are unable to work and therefore have no income.
Staff / Volunteers.
The charity does not employ administrative staff in the U.K and we no longer undertake fundraising activities.
The Indian staff who run the projects in Goa are paid appropriate salaries and we do not have volunteers operating in Goa.
Trustees.
We still maintain three trustees in accordance with our Deed of Trust.
Accounts / Finance.
We were fortunate to receive a substantial donation during the year which has enabled us to increase the support we give to the projects.
As those benefiting from the Educational Sponsorship Scheme achieve their goals and no longer require financial support their sponsors are advised that they may cease their monthly donations.
Future projections.
As noted in our annual report last year we are in the process of running the charity down. This is why we no longer undertake active fundraising but the large donation received in the year means that we expect that we will continue for another three to four years.
Declaration.
I declare that as a trustee of Novi Survat Charitable Organisation the trustees have received a copy of this annual report and accounts and have authorized me to sign on their behalf.

NOVI SURVAT CHARITABLE ORGANISATION (GOA) ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NOVI SURVAT CHARITABLE ORGANISATION (GOA)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are set out on pages 1 and 2 below.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees 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.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention,
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 cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
