Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
Charity law requires 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 at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
-
make suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
-
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 financial statements on pages 23 to 41 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on the 5th December and signed on their behalf by:

orphans
There are millions of orphans worldwide and many of these children are utterly helpless and forced to face an uncertain future by themselves. It is certainly not a good situation to be in and therefore, at ILM, we are dedicated to supporting these children – no child should be left alone.
With the support of our generous donors, we provide our orphans with accommodation, healthcare, a safe and loving environment, 3 nutritious meals daily, clothing and an education all guaranteed to secure their futures and offer them better life opportunities.
We work to ensure no child is left alone, abandoned and unprotected.

io
happy home
We want every child to be able to live in a loving, comfortable family environment where they can reach their full potential, a bright and successful future and live in a place that they can call home.
Our foster homes provide just that; they offer secure accommodation, sustenance, education, health care and security for our children.
In Limbe, Blantyre, Malawi, ILM runs a foster home, which is a haven for children with no parents or protectors. Children are provided with ‘round the clock’ care, and an education.
Our foster homes provide a safe environment, education, health care and security.

clean water
We install hand operated water pumps, motor pumps and water wells in communities throughout our operating region for the provision of clean water.
ILM UK, run water supply projects throughout South Asia and Africa.
We build water wells in deprived, farming communities, we install hand pumps in underprivileged, often isolated villages with no clean water source and we even install hand pumps in individual family homes, to improve the quality of life of vulnerable, elderly or disabled adults.
13
Illl
eye care
For the past seventeen years, ILM has been providing free, comprehensive eye-care throughout our primary eye care centres, situated in Asia and Africa.
At our centres we offer screening and detection of eye illnesses, advice and support for patients and their families and carers. We also provide eye surgeries and free treatment for patients who cannot afford to pay the cost of such treatment.
We can only carry out this valuable work with the help of our generous donors, it could save someone’s sight – and their life. Monthly donations have helped towards ongoing running costs of our clinics and centres and these funds help us set up new mobile clinics and build new centres of excellence.
15
education
We know that education is the key to helping people break out of the poverty cycle. By educating children in developing countries, we are giving them the tools for better opportunities and a brighter future. Today, ILM operates fourteen schools across four countries, where students are provided with a free education.
Based in Uttar Pradesh, India, Shams National School is ILM’s flagship school. Here we run classes from nursery to college level. Phase 3 of this outstanding facility has now been completed with a purpose-built primary school. Education doesn’t just empower individuals; it lifts entire communities out of poverty.
17
food security
Our work to provide food for people tackling hunger continues throughout the year.
But seasonally, we’re able to boost our efforts. During the month of Ramadan, we provide food parcels, warm meals and bottled water for fasting Muslims. We also provide fresh meat packs to those in developing countries to muslims during Eid-Ul-Adha.

INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Objectives and activities
We help poor communities to improve their lives with a focus on sustainable development and empowerment, our programmes give poor, unfortunate people better access to essential services; giving them the opportunity to improve their livelihoods and lift themselves out of poverty. ILM also work in partnership with other charitable organisations helping to shape development agendas and improve the impact and effectiveness of world-wide humanitarian action.
Our goal is to ensure that through our donors, our contribution to society makes a genuine, positive, longlasting difference to the people who need it most. Interestingly, our work takes place ‘on the ground’ in countries within Asia and Africa, especially in Malawi and India. We operate in a totally fair, transparent way and we are always fully accountable.
Achievements and performance
During the year the charity was able to achieve sponsorship of more than 700 orphans, installation of over 1,000 water pumps, provide over 4.9 million meals, start the design and planning of the evergreen complex in Malawi, carry out 2 eye care camps, built recreational centres for poor communities, provide over 200 blankets to people stave off the bitter cold of winter, and gift sewing machines, cycle rickshaws and fruit barrows.
The year was marked by economic slowdown and geopolitical tensions across the globe. With continued uncertainty around Covid-19, the UK economy fared badly and economic output continued to decline. However, the kindness of our donors recognising the ongoing humanitarian crises around the world meant that our income exceeded £2.3m (2020: £1.9m) for the first time. Our charitable expenditure did not match this increase in income so the surplus is carried over to be spent on programmes in future years.

INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of International Learning Movement (ILM) (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs [UK]) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
28
INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM)
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees’ responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, including how fraud may occur by enquiring of management of its own consideration of fraud. In particular, we looked at where management made subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and how management monitor these processes. Appropriate procedures included the review and testing of manual journals and key estimates and judgements made by management.
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity and the industry in which it operates, drawing on our broad sector experience, and considered the risk of acts by the Company that were contrary to these laws and regulations, including fraud.
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities Act 2011, UK tax legislation and other sector specific laws and regulations.
Our tests also included agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including testing journals and evaluation whether there was evidence of bias by the management that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
29
INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF INTERNATIONAL LEARNING MOVEMENT (ILM)
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with ”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)” (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
International Learning Movement (ILM) is a public benefit charitable entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Blackburn Enterprise Centre, Furthergate, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB1 3HQ, England & Wales.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts 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
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
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 financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.4 Income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
Amortisation 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:

1.7 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment 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:
Freehold land and buildings Fixtures and fittings
No depreciation 15% Reducing balance
Freehold land is not depreciated.
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.
1.8 Impairment of non-current assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Government grant
Government grants relate to financial support provided by the government to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on businesses.
Grants received in the year relate to one-off grant from local council and from HMRC in respect of Job Retention Scheme.
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.

None of our work would be possible without the donations that we receive from those who recognise the difference we can make to the lives of people who can benefit from things we often take for granted. Provision of nutritious food, clean water and education, even a simple operation to restore the gift of sight are just some of the projects we provide to the most disadvantaged to make our world a better place for all.
change a life.
