Message from the Chair

During the turbulence of the past few years, the ALMT has remained a steadfast and committed champion for our small charity partners who continually strive to respond to the urgent and important needs of families. Our approach was tested again this year as we saw the upheaval caused by the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, followed by the horrific effect of the war in Ukraine and the subsequent rise in the cost of living for families across the world.

Despite our natural desire to provide immediate emergency support, the ALMT Trustees spent many hours making sure that our response was measured and able to support children and young people for the longer term. This year we funded more projects targeted at the growing number of refugee and migrant children we see affected by conflict and trauma worldwide. We were pleased to be able to facilitate the delivery of summer activities for Ukrainian refugee children in Poland and Moldova, helping them to achieve a sense of normality in their new homes.

Our partnership with the team at RenaissanceRe continues to inspire and inform; challenging us to extend our reach and look to the future. Alongside our incredible network of co-funders and supporters this enables us to remain a proactive and accessible funder.

As we approached the end of the financial year, Silvie Tonellotto stepped down as Trust Director and joined the ALMT Board of Trustees. We are so grateful for Silvie’s drive and enthusiasm over the past 10 years which has been an invaluable asset for the ALMT and we are excited to welcome her wealth of experience to the Board. Rebecca Pirt will take on the role of Trust Director and will be supported by Kate Richardson who joined the team as Grants Officer in September. Jenni Thomas OBE continues to provide essential and excellent grief and bereavement support for families.

Despite supporting over 31,000 children and young people in 17 different countries during 2022, the winter ahead looks bleak for many families with rising costs of living set to have a severe impact on children and young people. We are actively seeking to help families cope with this looming crisis into 2023.

With many thanks for your continued support.

Responding to Need Measuring Impact 2021-2022

The ALMT aims to fund a diverse portfolio of projects. This year 39 projects were supported in 17 countries with 49% in the UK and 51% around the world.

8 Decent Work and Economic Growth 10 Reduced Inequalities 16 Peace Justice and Strong Institutions

Our projects deliver 1 No Poverty measurable outputs 2 Zero Hunger against nine of the 3 Good Health and Wellbeing United Nation’s 4 Quality Education Sustainable 5 Gender Equality Development Goals: 6 Clean Water and Sanitation

At the start of the year the following needs were identified as key areas for development within the ALMT portfolio of projects:

The shortage of high quality interventions for children in their early years, particularly those from more vulnerable groups:

The widening education gap between children and young people coming from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers:

During the pandemic this age group was consistently overlooked around the world. Projects with Linda Norgrove Foundation, Restore Hope, Afrikids, Egmont Trust and Carers’ Worldwide were approved to work with specific groups to improve children’s development and chances early in life.

Funding was allocated to Quest for Learning and Southwark Community Education Charity in the UK whilst Children on the Edge, Tushinde, ChildHope, Lotus Outreach and the Mtaala Foundation continued their invaluable work around the world. A new project with Carers Worldwide helped children with disabilities enter education for the first time in Bangladesh.

Globally there has been a huge increase in the number of displaced and migrant children who are suffering as a result of conflict or poverty. Following the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and the advent of the war in Ukraine, the ALMT adapted and added a fourth priority area.

The severe lack of mental health support for all ages:

Work in this area provided therapeutic interventions as well as softer touch initiatives focussing on general wellbeing and social skills. Projects with Achieve, Change and Engagement, Acorns Project and Hull Children’s University provided specific therapeutic support for young people whilst work with Sport Inspired, Chance to Shine, Sylvia Beaufoy Centre, The Theatre Shed, Immediate Theatre and Chess in Schools offered activities which promoted teamwork and confidence for participants.

Support for refugee children and young people

Despite a natural desire to provide immediate emergency support, the ALMT was very aware that this situation would present challenges for years to come and therefore identified projects which would have a longer term impact. Our response went to Refugee Education UK, Apart of Me, Linda Norgrove Foundation, Mad-Aid, Mali Development Group, Alsama Project, Save a Child, Katherine Low Settlement and the Slowianka Centre in Gorzow, Poland.

Whilst aiming to support a wide range of projects, ALMT priorities shifted during the year in response to global events. The ability to remain agile has been of paramount importance.

Grief and Bereavement Support

“I once heard - and how true this is – that there is no right way to grieve. We do as we must in grief.”

Jenni Thomas OBE has provided ALMT funded grief and bereavement support to families for over 11 years. The following is taken from her annual report for 2021-22:

“During the recent pandemic death was frequently talked about and for some young people this caused anxiety. I would hear from children that dying was scary and made them worried about lots of things they hadn’t thought about before, such as, “could it happen to us, to my family?” Whilst Covid brought up difficult things to contemplate it was an opportunity for children to ask about death and dying. Death became a topic on which I was asked to provide guidance to schools and the wider community. The availability of professional support for the family with surviving children is woefully neglected. I am aware that when death is sudden and unexpected, I can provide the most help where the death of the child or parent has been traumatic. Families have explained that they were unable to get immediate support after the tragedy. Today it’s usual for parents to have to wait for four to six months after the sudden death of a child to receive bereavement support.

My work has therefore concentrated largely on supporting families as soon as possible after a death. By talking about the unbearable trauma, families can begin to make sense of what has happened and what is useful to know and do. I encourage these families to share the things they find hardest and are often most frightened about.

Initially when a child dies, I enable the parents to consider seeing their dead child. When possible and appropriate, suggesting that the siblings may also want to be included to say goodbye to a brother or sister. This sensitive area of care needs to be offered only after careful preparation is talked about professionally.

As work in this area becomes known about, I am approached in different crisis situations to offer guidance to grieving families. This contact may come through a school or from those working in healthcare or through friends that contact me. I’m now more able to have these important conversations from afar due to the availability of Zoom and the ALMT funded podcasts continue to be helpful for families and professionals.

In this past two years, sadly there is an increase in young people attempting to take their own life, often instigated through drug taking. The grief for the parents and the whole family when this happens is significant. My experience is that the loss of a child to suicide is especially complicated and difficult. I encouraged parents and children to reach out to charities who offer more long-term counselling for parents and children giving them opportunities to meet other young people after a suicide in the family.”

Country United Kingdom Partner Katherine Low Settlement Funding £14,720 Duration 2022-2023

https://www.klsettlement.org

Many young refugees have had a very turbulent childhood and are significantly behind their peers educationally. Subsequently they can face barriers to finding meaningful work. The Love to Learn programme works to broaden experiences and improve aspirations for these young people.

The project aims to build relationships with employers and offer career mentoring and guidance for 75 young people. Alongside employability and wellbeing sessions the project will provide ongoing and bespoke advice and guidance for participants so that they are able to thrive in education.

Food parcels and university tuition for women and girls

Country Afghanistan Partner Linda Norgrove Foundation Funding £27,200 Duration 2022-2025

https://lindanorgrovefoundation.org

Women and children in Afghanistan are being disproportionately affected by the political, social, and financial upheavals since the Taliban takeover of August 2021. The ALMT funded two projects supporting women who have responsibility for children under three years old in the short-term, through the provision of 250 food and hygiene parcels.

Longer-term requirements in Afghanistan will also be addressed by supporting eight young women to study medicine. Funding will cover the entrance exams and university fees as well as an annual living allowance for them as it is now very difficult for young women to find part-time work whilst studying.

University education for young women

https://lotusoutreach.org

Country Cambodia Partner Lotus Outreach Funding £8,781 Duration 2020-2022

During this final year of funding the remaining six ALMT female students will complete their university education. Subjects include: business management, IT, accounting, marketing, rural development and maths. It is hoped that the graduates will enter employment or gain work experience in their chosen field.

Since the start of this project in 2020, Lotus Outreach has seen a 35% increase in the university programme. As the community has grown it has also strengthened and this year, Lotus Outreach plans to organise a young leaders’ conference in Cambodia to bring together many other institutes, students and staff from schools.

Holiday activites for Ukrainian refugee children

Country Moldova Partner Mad Aid Funding £10,000 Duration 2021-2022

https://www.mad-aid.org.uk

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Moldova has taken in the highest proportion of refugees based on its population size. Moldova, classed as a ‘fragile economy’, is the poorest country in Europe and internal systems are struggling to cope.

This project aims to run daily educational and social activities over the summer for 200 Ukrainian children alongside children with disabilities living at Mad Aid’s Phoenix Centre. The project will help children feel more settled in their new ‘temporary’ homes and achieve a sense of normality. Language lessons will enable increased integration between refugee children and local residents.

Working with street children

Country Mali Partner Mali Development Group Funding £12,000 Duration 2022-2023

https://www.malidg.org.uk

Mali is one of the most deprived countries in the world and Unicef estimates that over a million children face protection issues with approximately 137,000 displaced due to ongoing civil unrest and the Covid pandemic.

Children living on the streets in Bamako have to focus on survival from day to day. With limited organisations providing support, they often go hungry. This project is providing 100 children with shelter, food, health checks and clothing whilst also using the media of art and culture to build trusting relationships, develop skills and facilitate children’s re-integration into wider society.

Education for vulnerable children

https://www.mtaalafoundation.org

Country Uganda Partner Funding £6,478 Duration 2019-2023

Uganda Mtaala Foundation

Awegys Secondary School in Uganda provides the best possible education to those who have previously been unable to attend school due to poverty, conflict, or the death of their parents. Now in its final year, the ALMT is funding 15 educational sponsorships at Awegys School. These sponsorships provide a crucial foundation for vulnerable children and at-risk youth who have endured war, the loss of their parents, the HIV epidemic, neglect, and extreme poverty. These sponsorships benefit the whole school with contributions towards the teachers, food for staff and pupils and accommodation therefore creating a stronger learning and nurturing environment.

Classical concerts in special schools

Country United Kingdom Partner Music for Autism Funding £5,000 Duration 2022-2023

https://www.osj.org.uk/osj-music-for-autism/

Music for Autism provides professional classical music concerts in schools for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This experience can improve communication skills and have a hugely positive impact on their wellbeing.

This project created and distributed over 2,865 educational welcome packs in English, Dari and Pashto to newly settled families and successfully increased understanding about the UK system. It also ran online training for schools and Local Authorities about how to support refugee families best.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice).

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income Tax recoverable

Income Tax recoverable in relation to investment income or Gift Aid donations is recognised at the time the relevant income is receivable.

Income Tax reclaimed on donations from individuals is included as unrestricted unless the donor requests that it is also restricted as part of the donation.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed. Donated facilities are included at the value to the Charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.

As the Trust is not VAT registered, all costs are shown as inclusive of VAT.
