## **CHURCH OF UGANDA CHILDREN'S MINISTRY (UK)**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which properly present the charity's receipts and payments for the year and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- a. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- b. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- c. state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
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 applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations of 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 or other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
This report on the accounts of the Church of Uganda Children's Ministry (UK) for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on pages 1 to 5, is in respect of an examination carried out under the Charities Act 2011.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the trustees of the Church of Uganda Children's Minstry (UK) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you 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;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
- under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to 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. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Church of Uganda Children's Ministry (UK) and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the 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

Section D Achievements and performance
Schools in Uganda have been closed since March 2020 due to the **Summary of the main** coronavirus pandemic, leading to an increase in incidents of child abuse in **achievements of the charity** homes and other issues related to poor parenting. As a result, the Church **during the year** of Uganda extended “The Year of the Child” from 2019-20 into 2020-21 and continued to promote child protection and positive parenting practices in their dioceses across the country.
During 2020-21 the Church of Uganda Provincial Office continued to print and distribute a training document entitled “Positive Parenting”. This document has been used in workshops with church leaders, members of clergy and parents, in order to provide them with good parenting knowledge and skills. Some of this training was broadcast nationally on television, particularly when the country was in a strict lockdown due to covid. The Church of Uganda Provincial Office has sought to support families who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. This year they identified 12 such families in four of the poorest dioceses and provided them with one-off financial support so that they could buy food and other essential supplies.
As children in Uganda prepare to return to school, the Church of Uganda have organised training sessions for chaplains and teachers. In rural Uganda the children have received very little education during this time owing to a lack of access to online classes and resources. The training sessions have provided the chaplains and teachers with skills and knowledge so that they can support these children returning to school after such a long break in their formal education. Grants made by CUCMUK supported the general administrative costs of the Provincial Office, including the salary of Rev Richard Rukundo, as well as the printing of the training documents, the support to families affected by the pandemic, and the provision of the chaplaincy training. Rosie Giles, the chair of CUCMUK, was not able to visit Uganda due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. She was, however, able to keep up to date with the work of the Provincial Office by email and phone contact with Rev Richard Rukundo.
**Section E Financial review** The Trustees have agreed to keep reserves of £10,000, in order to **Brief statement of the** maintain the charity’s commitment to the staff and administration costs of **charity’s policy on reserves** the Church of Uganda Provincial Office for at least six months. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** CUCMUK relies upon donations from individuals and churches around the You **may choose** to include UK for the majority of its funding. additional information, where relevant about: The charity is also extremely grateful for the financial support provided by the charity’s principal the AS Charitable Trust and UCA.
