TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and “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)”.
Objectives and activities
The David Rattray Foundation, locally operating as KHULA Education, was established in 2007. Honouring David Rattray’s legacy, KHULA is deeply committed to improving the quality of education in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa and mobilising education as a pathway to community empowerment and alleviating poverty in one of the most marginalised areas of South Africa.
Our Vision
That all children, regardless of their socio-economic, cultural background or location are able to reach their potential and make a difference to their families and communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enable children from under-served (rural) communities in South Africa to obtain a high-quality education.
Our Goals
As KHULA has expanded both its footprint and work, we have aligned our agenda to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all . Our primary goals are:
-
Give children the chance to lift themselves out of their extremely disadvantaged background by working to improve educational facilities, standards and care for children.
-
Support the development of children by ensuring that they are not just educated sufficiently to pass a set of exams, but also effectively prepared for their adult lives. We believe that through improving their educational attainment, each child will be in a better position to improve their own life, achieve better standards of health, secure more satisfactory employment, and contribute more meaningfully to the life of their family, village, society and country.
Our Approach
Our current area of support is in the remote uMzinyathi district of rural KwaZulu-Natal. Our work is in collaboration with our sister organisation, the David Rattray Foundation in South Africa, under the shared identity of KHULA Education.
Our activities span the historic battlefields of rural KwaZulu-Natal from Elandskraal, through Rorke’s Drift to Nquthu and Isandlwana, some of the most isolated and marginalised areas in South Africa. This is a region of outstanding beauty and dramatic history, but these elements alone are no substitute for education.
In total, we support 21 under-resourced, local schools to address key educational needs, both infrastructural and academic, to achieve a measurable uplift in education levels and post-school employment. Through these schools our work impacts 6,500 students and more than 200 educators.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Safeguarding
Safeguarding of children in the supported schools is our highest priority. Prior to onboarding, all staff of the David Rattray Foundation in South Africa are required to obtain a Sexual Offenders Register Clearance Certificate. In addition, all staff, volunteers and partners in South Africa are required to sign a ‘Personal Commitment to Child Protection’ Form. A Child Protection Policy has been implemented in all schools, and all staff have been trained accordingly, with refresher training delivered during 2023. Safeguarding incidents are rare and dealt with in accordance with local child protection and labour law.
We also have a qualified Educational Psychologist on the staff. This person is instrumental in providing support, guidance and relevant materials for teachers to support any child who may require remedial support and/or counselling. It is noteworthy that with this intervention, children who were previously considered by the schools to potentially have learning disabilities, were in fact often those who had simply struggled with the lack of individual attention in large classes. Our top-up teaching and remedial support has made a significant impact with such children, including the provision of smaller support classes in KHULA’s dedicated remediation spaces.
Our Strategy and Programmes
KHULA is driven by the mission to reduce poverty in the local community by providing a high-quality education for all, focusing on the most under-served children. We contribute to this mission through four key programmes which, while modular, interact and bolster each other to produce a holistic package of support to the community. These four programmes are:
1. Early Childhood Development
We operate 3 pre-schools in Rorke’s Drift, Isandlwana, and Amoibe, supporting 227 children. We are opening a fourth preschool in Sigubudu in early 2024. We aim to nurture our young learners and prepare them for later formal education, thus contributing to SDG 4.2 : quality early childhood development and pre-primary education for all . The programme includes teaching English to provide the children with exposure to English before joining Primary School and learning in English from Grade 4 onwards. 80% are fluent in English at the end of the two-year programme, and consistently rank in the highest 20% of learners graduating from Primary School.
2. Top-Up Teaching
Our Top-Up teaching targets English and Maths in eight local schools at Foundation, Intermediate, Senior and FET Phases. We offer extra classes, lesson support for teachers, after-school teaching and help through learning tools. We aim to reduce the impact that large class sizes, limited teacher training and teacher absenteeism have on both teachers and students. Additionally, we offer targeted support, such as WiFi and learning tools, to a total of 21 schools. At all stages, our learners show an increase in Maths and English scores; at senior level our interventions have been linked with an increase in English and Maths marks of more than 20 percent.
3. Job Skills and Life Readiness
KHULA supports high school pupils and graduates to improve their life skills and to find Further Education and employment opportunities, smoothing the transition beyond the school system. Support offered includes life skills workshops, access to resources, guidance in finding and applying to scholarships (including National Student Financial Aid Scholarship bursaries and the Madrinha scholarship), and guidance in finding and applying to learnerships and employment. In 2023, we provided services to more than 2,300 children and young adults including career orientation and guidance, assistance in accessing scholarships, learnerships and job opportunities and a range of life skills and job readiness trainings and programmes - including the ABE-endorsed KidsMBA and our young leaders project Ngilalele. This programme of activities also aims to support progress towards SDGs 4.3 and 4.4: access to and the skills for tertiary education, vocational studies, employment and entrepreneurship.
4. Educator Development.
As well as supporting local students, KHULA’s approach includes an Educator Development Programme, designed to support local teachers within the Linked Schools system to develop their skills, strengthen their capacity, and form support networks. This includes mentorship, sponsoring networks, workshops, and technology solutions, all of which contribute towards SDG 4.c, increasing the supply of qualified teachers . The programme has reached 200 educators.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
Our guiding principles
Across all of our areas of work, we put into practice the unique success factors that form our model of impact. These are:
1. Invest in the whole educational journey
Education is not a phase, but a lifelong pursuit. We don’t narrow our focus to one stage of formal education, but support students from pre-school to matriculation, and beyond.
2. Be sustainable
We strive to be sustainable in where and how we work. The programmes we run are not short-term interventions but are designed to be sustained over time.
3. Be additive, not competitive
We work with the state school system to supplement the education it provides, working together for greater impact.
4. Drive towards outcomes
In everything we do, we are oriented by the outcomes we seek and are guided by finding the best path to impact.
5. Working with and for the community
We are deeply established in, and motivated by, the local community. This is essential to our success and impact.
6. Working through partnerships.
By working with others, we can maximise the impact of our resources and provide pathways for others to have a positive role in our community.
Each of our six principles is woven into our key programmes and into the KHULA mindset, and together they form the foundation of our successful, impactful, and sustainable model. Not only do we see impact on the ground stemming from our model of action, but we also are reassured by global studies that verify the importance of each of our principles.
Medium- and long-term strategy ambitions:
In line with our medium-term plans, from January 2023 we expanded our top-up teaching support programme to support a third cluster of schools. This cluster of schools will be supported with the construction of our fourth KHULA Isisekelo preschool which will open during 2024. And, in support of SDGs 8.3 and 8.5, we are growing our Life Skills and Job Readiness programme for both in and out-of-school youth. In 2023 we trained 250 local young people in ICT and work readiness skills. We also broke ground on a rural skills hub in Sigubudu in 2023 and opened The Charles Aikenhead Skills Hub in Rorkes Drift in January 2024.
Financial review
Income:
The income can be broken down as follows
-
Income from trusts and foundations continued to provide the base of our programmes with income reaching £161,963 (2022: £915,280). Restricted funding made up £71,762 (2022: £819,168) of this total.
-
Unrestricted donations from supporters totalled £90,201 (2022: £96,112).
Expenditure:
Expenditure continued to be focused on our core programme work in South Africa and fundraising in the UK. Expenditure totalled £487,586 (2022: £387,876).
Restricted expenditure stood at £393,808 (2022: £379,562).

DAVID RATTRAY FOUNDATION (KNOWN AS KHULA EDUCATION)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
At the end of the year, the total funds balance stood at £296,299 (2022: £634,088) made up of restricted funds of £117,560 (2022: £439,606) and unrestricted funds of £178,739 (2022: £194,482). We believe that these allow the trust to maintain its current approach to meet our goals and provide the basis for future funding plans.
Reserve Policy
The Trustees have decided to adopt a low-risk approach and hold surplus funds in short term UK deposit accounts and in order to minimise currency risk also have a South African Rand deposit bank account, to hold a proportion of reserves in South African Rand. It is the policy of the trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three to six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Foundation’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
At 5 April 2023, the total reserves of the Trust stood at £296,299 (2022: £634,088) of which £117,560 (2022: £439,606) were restricted funds set side for multi-year projects. This is above the Trustees' requirement however, given the extent to which these reserves are allocated to on-going programmes and as future donations cannot be predicted, the Trustees do not consider it necessary to amend the total reserves or revise the policy at this stage.
Risk Policy
The Trustees have given consideration to the main risks to which the trust is exposed and have satisfied themselves that systems, actions and procedures are in place to manage and mitigate those risks.
Governance - The Trustees meet formally, between two to three times a year, to review financial and operational performance. Detailed progress on projects that have received grants are reviewed at each Trustee meeting. Sub committees have been formed to oversee finance, strategy and fund-raising between meetings. These can also be fora for engagement with trustees of the Foundation in South Africa. As opportunities allow, there are UK trustee visits to the supported schools and projects funded by the UK. Significant efforts have been made to ensure GDPR compliance, and to mitigate any associated risks.
Currency Risk - The trustees have decided to adopt a low-risk approach and hold surplus funds in short term UK deposit accounts and in order to minimise currency risk also have a South African Rand deposit bank account, to hold a proportion of assets in local currency.
Financial Risk - We operate a dual signature regime on all bank accounts. Expenditure, future commitments and bank balances are reviewed at trustee meetings. Private donations are made either via an approved internet intermediary (such as Just Giving) or directly to the Trust’s bank account. Despite being a small charity, our accounts are audited annually.
Future Sustainability - The Trustees have continued to invest in fundraising support to secure the long-term nature of the organisation. Support is primarily used to approach major foundations for grants for specific projects and to ensure all grants and investments are against defined projects which have discrete and measurable outcomes. There are very good relations with known donors. Records of donors have been formalised, and there is regular contact with past and current donors/funders to support continuing and regular flow of funds.
Grants not applied to a specific project - We work in a specific area and grants are made only to support the work and running of the Foundation in South Africa. The Chairman of the Trustees is also a trustee of this Foundation and makes regular visits to South Africa. He conducts onsite inspections of all projects and meets with the other trustees and officers of the Foundation in South Africa.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAVID RATTRAY FOUNDATION (KNOWN AS KHULA EDUCATION)
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of David Rattray Foundation (known as Khula Education) (the trust) for the year ended 5 April 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

DAVID RATTRAY FOUNDATION (KNOWN AS KHULA EDUCATION)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
1 Accounting policies
Company information
David Rattray Foundation is a Trust registered in England and Wales. The principal address of the Trust is given on the charity information page. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees' Report.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the trust.
1.4 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.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is more likely than not. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered. Costs of Charitable Activities include those costs which meet the objectives of the Trust. Governance costs are those incurred in meeting the statutory requirements of running the Trust and are included in costs of charitable activities.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Foreign exchange
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange of the most recent transfer from the sterling bank accounts. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the surplus or deficit.
1.8 Grants
Grants are treated as expenditure when authorised by the Trustees and communicated to beneficiaries, not when the grants are paid.
1.9 Tax status
The Trust is a registered charity and therefore is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
