SAFE CHILD AFRICA
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
Introduction
Safe Child Africa has continued to focus on delivering its charitable objectives in 2020. The key achievements in the year are set out in the operational review section, which provides an overview of the key projects and activities the charity has been involved in during the year and the impact these have had.
The financial review sets out the financial position of Safe Child Africa and the governance of the charity's commitments and funding promises to maintain the on-going funding of critical projects on the ground in Nigeria.
Safe Child Africa continues to be dedicated to making further progress in fundraising and programme delivery in the coming years and the trustees are confident that Safe Child Africa is well positioned to support the changes needed to defend the rights and create the futures these children deserve.
Strategic Overview
Safe Child Africa remains committed to implementing strategies that will bring about real and lasting change for the children of Nigeria. Safe Child Africa continues to work with partners in Nigeria that benefit the children the organisation seeks to support.
Promoting and defending the rights of children to be free from abuse, poverty, persecution and sickness, and to improve the access to and quality of education remain at the heart of Safe Child Africa's work, but it has been important to incorporate the learning and experience of the organisation to ensure these important objectives are delivered in the most effective way possible. Progress against the strategic plan is monitored regularly by the trustees.
Objectives and activities Objectives and aims
Safe Child Africa has a wide-reaching remit designed to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of children in Nigeria with particular regard where appropriate to those purposes in the United Nations convention on the rights of the child, including but not limited to:
i) the advancement of education and public knowledge in respect of child rights in Nigeria;
ii) the relief of poverty, sickness and distress in Nigeria; and
iii) the preservation of health among children living in Nigeria and the protection from abuse and all other injustices, humiliation and degrading treatment (including but not limited to street children and children who have been accused of witchcraft and wizardry in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Objectives and activities
Operational Review
Safe Child Africa has delivered a series of programmes in 2020 that are designed to bring about the changes required in Nigeria to allow the children there to realise their potential and ambitions.
The work in the Niger Delta continued across 3 key areas; Advocacy, Education and Protection. The following report highlights the key activities and impact of this work in 2020.
A: ADVOCACY
A key part of the work of Safe Child Africa is our capacity to act as an advocate for those children without a voice. Due to resource constraints the charity has had to prioritise which advocacy activities to engage in and has continued to support the work of local PACT groups.
The Basic Rights Counsel Initiative ("BRCI") is also involved in advocacy activities in Cross River State, working with the local community to raise awareness of the issues that children face. This advocacy work also increases the profile of the legal aid work BRCI undertakes, supported by Safe Child Africa as part of the Protection work stream.
B: EDUCATION
Safe Child Africa remains committed to creating bright futures for vulnerable children and as such we have continued to support access to education for children at the Stepping Stones Model School in Akwa Ibom State, and Bebor School in Rivers State, through our well-established scholarship programmes.
These programmes enable children living in poverty or who are otherwise disadvantaged, to gain and attend a place in Primary School through a scholarship programme. This is just one of the ways in which the charity works to remove the barriers that stand in the way of a bright and positive future. Some of the children we support have experienced loss, pain or abuse that no child should have to know and as a result they face challenges which limit their ability to enrol in other schools due to discrimination against disability or parental status, poverty or persecution. This underlines the importance of our support in this area.
C: PROTECTION
Safe Child Africa provides direct support to children in crisis across three states in the Niger Delta. This is only possible as a result of the incredible work of our partners in Nigeria, who work in extremely difficult situations and whose commitment to upholding child rights is extraordinary.
Safe Child Africa supports a programme of comprehensive support to children who have experienced abuse of their rights including witchcraft accusations, sexual abuse, violence, abandonment, lack of access to food, shelter medical care and education, and also suffering from child labour, kidnap and trafficking.
Key areas of support include: provision of long-term accommodation and nutritious food to former street children; review, investigation and monitoring of reported cases of abuse; access to education for former street children and children living in poverty and referral to and liaison with other governmental and non-governmental agencies on behalf of the children and their families.
The Emergency Accommodation facility launched in 2016 continues to be in full operation throughout the year and has been a critical resource for children in need. Our Emergency Accommodation facility is essential as a safe place for children in crisis situations to be housed whilst we secure longer-term alternative accommodation.
In addition, our partners continue to focus on securing access to justice for children, through provision of free legal services. Legal aid to children who have experienced abuse is effectively non-existent in Nigeria, so this support is crucial if children are ever to receive justice for what has happened to them. Bringing cases of abuse is a critical part of our work as successful convictions deliver justice for victims, remove abusers from the community and act to deter others from committing abuse.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Objectives and activities
Overall, the work that Safe Child Africa undertakes and delivers with our partners continues to have measurable and demonstrable positive impact in the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in the world. The charity remains focussed on providing the financial support and other resources to enable these projects to continue going forward.
Public benefit
The work that is undertaken by Safe Child Africa, whilst focussed on the enhancement of child rights in Nigeria, is active in the UK as well. The charity operates in the UK and is committed to engaging with supporters and volunteers in the UK involved with Safe Child Africa. The issues that the charity aims to deal with in Nigeria are also relevant to the situations experienced within some parts of the UK population. The awareness raised by Safe Child Africa supports understanding and the resources to challenge unacceptable cultural practices.
The trustees consider they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Future Focus
The trustees are confident that Safe Child Africa is well placed to deliver the objectives of the charity. It remains critical for the charity going forward to focus on the charity's core mission, vision and values. Safe Child Africa remains viable because of the support of donors, funders, beneficiaries and other interested parties. The charity's strategy continues to be to ensure it continues to best serve the needs of children in Nigeria.
The trustees also regularly review the financial position of the charity and have demonstrated the ability to take difficult but necessary actions to respond quickly any changes in the organisations funding, and as a result maintain funding for the delivery of projects in Nigeria
Financial review
Financial position
The effective management of the charity's resources are critical to achieving the long-term goals of Safe Child Africa. To this end the trustees consider the financial management of the charity one of the key organisational priorities and are committed to ensuring that a robust framework of controls, reporting and oversight operate within the charity.
Financial Position
Incoming resources were lower than the previous year amounting to £40,867 (2019: £48,813). The financial support of the charity's wide and diverse range of individuals, making regular and one-off donations remain the primary source of income for Safe Child Africa.
It remains the priority of Safe Child Africa to direct its resources to delivering successful projects, the outcomes of this work set out in the operational review.
The trustees continue to take action to reduce direct costs by 44% (2019: 28%) and support costs by 8% (2019: 73%) in the financial year ended 31 December 2020. These actions have enabled Safe Child Africa to meet funding commitments to the charity's partners in Nigeria. The trustees continue to monitor the situation to ensure these costs are sustainable and appropriate moving forward as Safe Child Africa seeks to maintain the delivery of the charitable objectives of the organisation.
The priority for the charity is to continue to fund the ongoing projects delivering direct impact for children in Nigeria, through the grants made to our delivery partners on the ground.
Reserves policy
The trustees review the reserves policy of the charity regularly, and revise the policy as required to reflect the current status of the organisation and its commitments. Safe Child Africa has no commitments beyond one-month. As such the trustees consider the target level of unrestricted reserves that the charity should hold is £2,500 (2019: £2,500).
This is the level of funds the trustees consider to be sufficient to enable the charity to operate on a sustainable basis over the long-term, allowing Safe Child Africa to plan and develop a viable strategic plan. Proposals to utilise funds over this threshold are considered by the trustees on a regular basis. Free reserves held as at the year end are £4,997 (2019: £8,930).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
COVID-19
In March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic. This event has caused wide-spread disruption to normal ways of working throughout the world for most of 2020 and 2021. There remains significant uncertainty over the extent and longevity of the outbreak.
Safe Child Africa has been able to continue to operate throughout this period and has been financially stable as a result of the ongoing generous donations of the charity's supporters. This has enabled Safe Child Africa to continue to maintain the grants to our partners in Nigeria to continue the critical frontline work with vulnerable children.
Safe Child Africa is also grateful for the resilience of our delivery partners in Nigeria, as the COVID-19 pandemic has presented serious challenges to maintaining services and dealing with increased demand in difficult circumstances caused by the pandemic.
Structure, governance and management
Ensuring that Safe Child Africa meets all of its statutory duties, complies rigorously with the requirements of the UK Charities Commission and all other legal and regulatory standards is extremely important to the charity. The trustees are acutely aware of the litigious environment in which the charity operates and the reputational risks faced from spurious accusations made against Safe Child Africa, and as such are committed to demonstrating the maximum amount of accountability and transparency as possible for an organisation of this size.
Trustees
The trustees have overall responsibility for Safe Child Africa. The trustees hold meetings periodically and are committed to delivering the good governance of the charity to ensure it sets a good example and safe-guards against any reputational risks.
The board of trustees is a diverse and well-balanced group, with the requisite skills and experience to monitor the charity, ensure compliance and set the strategic direction of the charity.
During the year a number of long-serving trustees stepped down from the board of trustees. Safe Child Africa would like to thank the departing trustees for their contribution to the charity over many years.
Safe Child Africa is also delighted to have appointed a number of new trustees to the board, including the return of the founders Gary Foxcroft and Naomi Foxcroft.
New Trustees are appointed by the continuing and retiring Trustees.
Senior Management
The chair of trustees also has responsibility for the day-to-day operations, having been given authority to act on operational matters as necessary by the board of trustees.
Policies and Procedures
There are a complete set of policies and procedures in place within the charity, in particular the child protection policy, which is fundamental to the activities of the charity. All policies continue to be subject to periodic review on a priority basis to ensure they meet the current standards of best practice.
Supporters
The supporters that dedicate their time and effort to the work of Safe Child Africa are some of the most passionate and inspiring people. The trustees want to express their immense gratitude for all the time, energy and effort that is contributed to the charity, as well as to all those who provide financial support. Without the input from everyone involved, the work of Safe Child Africa simply would not be possible, and what has already been achieved is a testament to the resilience of the collaborative team effort that the charity seeks to promote.

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
