Summary of the main activities in relation to the objects
The Charity has the following principal activities that fulfil the objects:
-
e Assisting local authorities in Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam, to provide a safe home and education to children without parents or with parents that are unable to care for them; ‘
-
e Providing swimming tuition and water safety education to primary school aged children;
Policy on reserves
Hue Help hasa policy to use reserves for the following purposes:
-
To provide a degree of short term protection against unplanned events that may threaten the provision of existing services;
-
To enable the organisation to manage fluctuations in income and expenditure;
-
To increase the scope or scale of activities, including developing or promoting the development of new or additional programs to meet the objectives of the Charity.
The Trustees believe that it is prudent to operate with a level of reserves, to provide a cushion against short-term threats or unforeseen financial demands. This may include such things as unexpected loss of contract income or unplanned major expenditure. The Trustees have deemed that reserves should not fall below the required amount for three months of operations.
The Trustees, taking into account the nature and size of the Charity, income and expenditure projections, external guidelines, such as the Charity Commission, and the potential use to which reserves may be put, annually review the appropriate level of reserves.
Risk Management
The Trustees continue to monitor and act upon the risk management processes to assess business risks and implement risk management strategies. This involves identifying the major strategic, business and operational risks the charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying means of mitigating the risks.

Since beginning in 2011, it has trained approximately 17,000 children and 700 teachers.
In this financial year, we provided training for 58 Swimming Teachers, 195 Water Safety Educators, 1,250 children in Water Safety Education and 2,190 children on swimming and safety skills.
