Objectfves and activities for the Publk Benefft
The objects of the Streedight Trust as set out in its trust deed are lo improve the
lives of the poorest and most vulnerable children and their families in the Philippines
by making grants of money available to non-governmental organisations {NGO's)
operating with a Christian ethos..
The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achlevements and perforniance
Street families in Metro Manila continued to find life very tough as the Philippines
came out of Covid 19. Kanlungan Sa ERMA the NGO that Streetlight supports,
experienced significant demands upon
One of the sad realities of the pandemic has been the explosive growth of online
sexual exploitstion in the Philippines. Kanlungan has seen that younger children are
now being referred to it by INGO'S such as International Justice Mission.
Kanlungan operates in the metro-manila area in the Philippines. and runs projects
covering-
street education and child protection for street children;

day centres for street children living in urban slums, where children can get an
education and a meal;
a temporary shelter and short-term residential care centre for street children
who need counselling and support
long term residential care and training centres, one for girls and one for boys,.
after care to reunite children with their families, provide educational
assistance and help the parents take care of the children.,
social enterprises la fami growing coffee in Cawte prownce, south of Manila)
to provide employment opportunities for older tM)y&
The grants made to Kanlungan are largely unrestiitted to cover the core stsffing
costs of the organisation, as well as utilities and food for the children.
The trustees ensure that the public benefit stated in the Trust's objects are being
achieved in several ways. Nomially. the prime means is from visits to see Kanlungan's
projects in action.
In April 2023 several Trustees were able to visit tskn.ng a group from the UK with them
for the first time since 2019. The Trustees also kept in contact with Kanlungan via
attendance at staff devotions, and regular online and telephone communication. The
Chair of StreedighL lan HerberL remains a member of the Board of Trustee5 at
Kanlungan.
The trustees are very conscious of the impact of climate change, especially on the
world's poorest people, and now has a policy to carbon offset air travel. This will be
done by any travellers to the Philippines on Streetlight business making payments to
Climate Stewards who support tree planting and other carbon mitigation projects in
Uganda, Ghana and Mexico.
The trustees are extremely grateful to all Streetlighys supporters. Thanks to modem
technology we are able to bring our supporters into contact with the staff team at
Kanlungan. Since the year end, we ran another"wrtual tea- event with Sol Balbero the
Executive Direttor of Kanlungan. This event was appreciated by all who attended.
ReseNes Policy
The Trust regularly reviews its resen￿$ policy. During the year. the reserves level was
maintained at £18,4LN) equal to two of the regular payments that are made every two
months.
The unrestrirted cash balance at year end was £25,549 above the minimum reserve.
Reserves have been falling in a planned way in the last two years (having reached
£44,332 at the end of 2021).
Financlal Review Detsils
2023 was another challenging year for fundraising. However. the diverse range of
Streetlighys fundraising income streams helped the charity withstand the ups and
downs of the year.

Fin
rm
During the year, cash receipts totslled £68.189 (up 7% on 2022) and cash expenditure
£76.185 (up 3% on 2022).
As trustees, we have yet again been greatly encouraged by the remarkable generosity
and commitment of our supporters. Thank you.
Individual Regular giviry totalled £19,457 {up 5% on 2022). The number of regular
givers increased by 3 to 47 during the year.
Indtvidual Single Giving totslled £10,295 Idown 24% on 2022). This stream of giving
does vary year on year because it is highly dependent on a small number of
individuals who have been long-standing supporters of Streetlight. We are so
grateful to you.
Giftaid of £11,270 was claimed during the year, a 31% decrease on 2022. This
reflects a drop in individual single gifts in 2022.
Fundra(siry events and activities grew substantially as the impact of Coronavirus
lifted. Income was £14,305 lup 19% on 2022}. Events ranged from the Christmas Ball
in Bletchley, to a golf day, brass band concert and pie and mash evening.
We were very grateful to Immanuel School in Bradford for a series of fundraising
activities which raised almost £1.CKM).
Stride for Streetlight continued in 2023 with our Trustee, Mary Lane finding a new
walking challenge. Thanks to all those who sponsored Mary and walked with her.
Thanks to you, Mary raised over £1,(￿) for Streetlight
Dlrert fv￿nClQI support from churches amounted to £12.930 (up 60% on 2022).
During the year, nine churches provided direct financial supporL We are grateful to
all the churches for their financial and prayer support.
We did not receive any lega¢ygifts in 2023. However. we did sell the Barclays shares
that had originally been left as a legacy gift for £242.
Otherglvlng remains unpredictable. In 2023, the totsl was boosted by a gift of
£1,500 from the H C Beer Charitable Trust and £1,2￿ of CAF payments.
Financial erfonn
en
During the year, remittances to Kanlungan so ERMA totalled £65,620 (down 2% on
2022). Of the total in 2023, £65,2(K) was frorn unrestricted funds and £420 from
restricted funds.

Streetlight rnaintsined its regular giwng of £55,2(Xi to Kanlungan which is provided
on an unrestritted basis to support stsff salaries rents, food and utilities. This
Jnding is of great Strategic value to Kanlungan as many grant funder will not fund
general costs. Additional gifts were made, mainly to support Kanlungan stsff costs.
The costs of fvndraising events and acrfvltles went up by 50% to £7,400. This was
partly a timing issue as the 2023 expenditure included some payments relating to the
2022 Ball. We are grateful to the team at Wilton Hall for their flexible and supportive
approach to staging the evenL
Admlntstratlon costs of £447 covered costs of child protection, online payment and
website management fees. All administration costs are covered by the Trustees,
financial contribution
Travel costs of £2,718 were incurred by the Trust to enable Tnjstees to Msit
Kanlungan.
The Trustees. policy that any travel costs must be more than funded by the Trustees
pooled financial contributions to Streetlight remains in place.
Lookin
2024 will be a challenging year for Kanlungan as the imparts of Covid 19 continue to
be felt by street families. Children are often on the receiving end of abuse as a result
of the stresses being experienced by families. Our prayer is that Kanlungan stsff will
continue to be able to help children heal from trauma and Un[￿k their inner, God-
given, potential.
The challenge for Streetlight will be to sustain and grow income against the backdrop
of the cost-of-liwng challenge. To sustain financial support for Kanlungan at 2023
levels Streetlight will need to grow its income in order to stay above the minimum
reserve threshold. We are thankful for committed support from individuals and
churches and look forward to 2024 with confiden￿.
