Section D Achievements and performance
Most of all
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This year has been challenging, as it has for our supporters, donors, volunteers, and most of all our beneficiaries. When we went into lockdown in March 2020, our events were cancelled, and face-to-face fundraising dropped off the calendar. We had to adapt to survive and think on our feet to bring in new fundraising ideas to support communities in crisis. We relinquished our office, when we were told to work from home and mobilised a network of furloughed volunteers who wanted to give back and do something to help make things better for people in their community.
The global pandemic hit vulnerable people and families the hardest, both round the corner at home, and in Sri Lanka and Nepal. Rosie our little Pink Tuk Tuk in the UK, who we had donated pre-pandemic to raise awareness of our women driving for women programme in Sri Lanka, now stood idle. So, we put her to good use by training volunteers to drive her to deliver food, medicine, and doorstep chats, providing a lifeline to vulnerable and isolated people living in rural communities in Nottinghamshire.
Rosie our little Pink Tuk Tuk has become an iconic part of our community and a beacon of hope during lockdown, bringing good cheer and raising community spirit. Our team of volunteer bakers donated and baked rainbow cupcakes for keyworker children at school and those celebrating lockdown birthdays promoting positive mental health. Fish and Chip Friday is definitely something for our local seniors to look forward to during lockdown and by partnering with our local fire brigade we have been able to deliver to rural communities. When Christmas was cancelled, we launched a fundraising initiative to save Christmas for local children by offering doorstep visits from Tuk Tuk Santa and his elves. Tuk Tuk Santa visited schools and later life communities who told us they felt that they had not been forgotten this Christmas.
In Sri Lanka we retained our staff on the ground throughout the pandemic and extensive lockdowns to stay connected with vulnerable families. We launched an emergency food appeal to provide emergency food support, counselling, and access to medication to vulnerable families who found themselves as daily workers, forced into financial poverty through loss of income and employment. Mums told us they would rather their families die of Covid-19 than hunger.
The global pandemic has been a catalyst for change and has opened a space for us to support our local community, as well as those we serve overseas. We have been able to provide a lifeline for lonely, vulnerable, and isolated people by delivering to make a difference. Pivoting our resources and approaching fundraising with a more innovative and entrepreneurial lens using Rosie our little Pink Tuk Tuk, has not just been a means of survival, it has enabled us to thrive during the pandemic. This crucial strategy has increased our reach to more families in crisis, both local and all over the globe, because now our support is needed more than ever before.

**Section E Financial review**
## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
To ensure the charity can meet both current commitments and ensure long term sustainability, Rosie May Foundation has determined that the reserves should be held in unrestricted funds to cover:
- a minimum of one year’s operating costs of projects and employee liabilities.
- Meet current cashflow requirements.
- Opportunities to invest in new projects prior to securing full funding.
As of 31 January 2021, reserves meet this requirement.
## **Details of any funds materially in deficit**
## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
- Fundraising revenue streams: 52% Events and Donations 11% Sponsorships 34% Trust Funds and Grants 0% Legacies 2% Gift aid 1% Other
- Expenditure both direct and indirect has supported the key objectives of the charity, reduction of poverty through education and economic empowerment to enable children to stay in families. This is clearly demonstrated by our 100% success rate of preventing the separation of children from parents due to poverty.
In 2018 we were successful in securing government funding from UK AID DIRECT for a 2-year programme in Nepal. In partnership with ASHA/NEPAL we aim to reintegrate women and girls who are survivors of trafficking and domestic abuse into communities, promote safety, economic independence and prevent re-trafficking.
As part of the due diligence process, we updated and created our policies and procedures, with a focus on safeguarding. This has been achieved through a considerable amount of support from volunteer trustees, volunteers, and pro bono support. These are reviewed and updated to an agreed schedule.
