Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To relieve poverty, sickness and distress and to provide access to education amongst orphans and vulnerable children in sub- Saharan Africa. We partner with organisations that promote tracing, re-linking and resettlement of children in their families and extended communities wherever possible.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	Victory Child Care Project (VCCP) is a child care institution for orphans and vulnerable children on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda. The main objective of our charity is to raise money to support VCCP in its work to provide a safe and loving home for these children, as well as access to education, healthcare, and other essential services. The money raised by our charity is used to pay for the following:  School fees, food, and medical care for the children at VCCP.  The costs involved in resettling children with family members or foster families.  A community education support project (CESP) that provides sponsorship for children in the local community to attend school.  Health support programmes that provide emergency medical aid to those in need.  Food hampers and gifts for local Ugandan families at Christmas.

		We raise money for VCCP through general fundraising in the UK, as well as through individual sponsorships. Donations are sent directly to VCCP to help them provide the best possible care for the children. When possible, we also provide funds to enable VCCP to expand and develop. In addition to supporting VCCP, we also support other similar non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in Uganda. This support is provided in the form of advice, encouragement, and sometimes financial assistance. We believe that every child deserves a safe and loving home, and we are committed to helping the children at VCCP and other NGOs in Uganda reach their full potential.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	As Trustees of the charity, we are committed to ensuring that all funds are spent in support of the key objectives of the charity and in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. During the financial year, we have spent funds on the following activities, which are all aligned with our key objectives:  Providing food, shelter, and medical care to orphans and vulnerable children.  Providing educational opportunities to orphans and vulnerable children, including school fees, uniforms, and supplies.  Supporting the tracing and re- linking of orphans and vulnerable children with their families.  Partnering with organisations that promote tracing, re-linking, and resettlement of children in their families and extended communities wherever possible.  Providing food hampers and gifts for local Ugandan families at Christmas. We have also had due regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have ensured that our activities comply with the key principles of this

		requirement. These principles state that charities must:  Benefit a significant section of the public.  Be for the public benefit.  Not be political or religious in nature.  Be accountable and transparent in their activities. We are confident that we have met all of these requirements and that our activities have been in the best interests of the beneficiaries of our charity.

Policy on grant making	Para 1.38	Tŷ Cariad Africa is a charity that supports partner charities and NGOs (Non- Government Organizations) operating within sub-Saharan Africa with similar values to ourselves. We do not award grants based on applications or requests, but we may sometimes provide financial support from our unrestricted funds to partners who are working to improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in the region. In addition to financial support, we also look to either support or receive support from our partners to strengthen the joint impact of our work. This non-financial support can include, but is not limited to:  Management support  Financial and accounting assistance  Project management  Project delivery  Sharing of funding news  General encouragement Before supporting any projects, we take the time to develop relationships with our partners, conduct financial due diligence to ensure full financial accountability, and draw up a Memorandum of Understanding

		(MOU) that outlines the responsibilities and procedures of both parties. We believe that by working together, we can make a greater impact on the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in sub- Saharan Africa.
Policy on social investment including program related investment	Para 1.38	N/A
Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	The support from our volunteers is amazing – thank you – without your support, we would not be able to make such an amazing difference in the lives of these children!

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The financial year 2023 was again challenging due to the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on fundraising activities in the UK and operations at the Victory Child Care Project's Children's Home in Uganda. Despite these challenges, we are pleased to report that we were able to continue supporting orphans, vulnerable children, and communities in Uganda thanks to the generosity of our donors. Our income for the year increased by £908, although rising costs in Uganda and the UK meant that our expenditure was also higher than in the previous year. Here is some more information about specific projects. VICTORY CHILD CARE PROJECT – TY CARIAD, NAMUGONGO, KAMPALA, UGANDA (VCCP)  A total of £65,605 was spent on overseas work in Uganda during the financial year, all of which was sent to VCCP.  Victory Child Care Project has continued to work closely with the Ugandan Police and the Ugandan Government to provide a safe haven for children who have been abandoned, lost, or trafficked. These children come to stay at the Children's Home while social workers and police search for relatives. At the start of the financial year, there were 35 children living at the Children's Home. During the year, 13 children were admitted for care; 11 children were resettled with family members, of whom 9 children require ongoing financial support for medical bills and school fees, and 3 children require no further financial support. The financial year ended

with 37 children living at the Children's Home. The project is committed to providing a safe and loving home for all children in its care. It works tirelessly to trace and re-unite children with their families, and to provide ongoing support to those who cannot be reunified.  Education Costs we provide education support for children living at the Children's Home, children who have been resettled or fostered, and children in the local community. The school year in Uganda runs from February to November, so our financial year covers Terms 2 and 3 of one academic year, and Term 1 of the next academic year. In the 2022 academic year, we supported 65 children with their education by paying school fees and contributions towards their school requirements as and when needed. At the end of the 2022 academic year, a number of children's support ended:  4 children supported under our Community Education Support Project who graduated from Primary 7 (support is provided up to the end of Primary School).  3 children who graduated with A Levels.  1 who graduated from University. In the 2023 academic year, many of the children have been moved from private schools to government schools to reduce the cost of their education to the charity. The social work team visited many government schools to find the right ones for the children, ensuring that the quality of education was still being maintained, but at a lower cost. This

		move is expected to save the charity approximately £10,000 over the academic year. In 2023, we are supporting the education of 67 children:  12 are being home-schooled at the Children's Home.  15 children from the Home are also supported in government schools.  12 children from the local community are being supported.  28 children who have been resettled or fostered from the Home. Of these children:  12 are being home-schooled.  34 are in Primary education.  14 are in Secondary education.  7 are in Vocational colleges. The total cost of education (school fees, requirements, and scholastic materials for the children from the Home and the local community children) was £15,915 this financial year, up £3,998 from last year. We are committed to providing all children in our care with access to quality education, regardless of their background. We believe that education is the key to a better future for these children, and we are grateful for the support of our donors who make this possible.  Education Resettlement Support A total of £8,349 was raised to support children resettled in families, either with family members or with foster families. £8,592 was spent on supporting these children in family settings with costs such as education, food support and health costs.

	As in the previous five years, before
	Christmas we ran an appeal to help
	feed Ugandan families at Christmas.
	A total of £6,447 was raised and was
	used:-
	oto provide food for the
	Christmas season's
	celebrations for all the
	children and staff at the
	Children's Home;
	oto pay for the children to
	attend a Christmas Party at
	Victory Church;
	o47 Food Packages for
	community families, families
	of resettled and fostered
	children, and families of staff
	who give their time each
	Christmas. Each package
	included bread, sugar, soda,
	eggs, spices, margarine,
	beef, chicken, pasta, cooking
	oil, milk and more. Each
	package contained enough
	for 20 meals/servings. In total
	the food packages provided
	for 249 children and adults!
	There were bank charges of
	£56 incurred in raising these
	funds. Net spend of £6,391.
	The social work team has been in
	regular contact with the children and
	families supported outside of the
	Children's Home throughout the
	year. They have visited them with
	food parcels, education support
	packages, and have carried out
	assessments and counselling as
	and when required.
	The social work team plays a vital
	role in supporting children and
	families in need. They provide a
	range of services, including:

		 Providing food and other essential items to families in need.  Helping children access education and other essential services.  Providing counselling and support to children and families who have experienced trauma or abuse.  Working with families to resolve issues and prevent problems from escalating. The social work team is committed to providing high-quality services to the children and families they serve. They are grateful for the support of the charity’s donors who make this work possible.  The balance of £34,707 was spent on running costs in Uganda, including staff salaries (£24,362 - an increase of £2,097); enough funds in Uganda for April (£3,939) and the balance of £17,382 being spent on food & other project costs.There was already £10,976 in Uganda as at 01/04/22 for April and May costs.  _ Salary cost calculated using_ exchange rate of 4,616 UGX/£ as per transfer to Uganda on 30/03/23.  Total transaction costs of £363 were incurred during the financial year. £270 on restricted funds, and £93 on unrestricted funds. These are the charges from our online partners for collecting credit and debit card payments made online - JustGiving, GoCardless and Stripe.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	This year, we have continued to evaluate our support levels and impact.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Finances have been raised mainly through word of mouth and through existing contacts. Gift Aid totalling £8,413 was received in the financial year, £1,097 less than the previous year (down 12%). All funds spent during the financial year have been in support of the key objectives of the charity.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	Tŷ Cariad Africa does not have any investments, and therefore, has no investment policy.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Tŷ Cariad Africa needs to strengthen its regular giving and increase its one-off donations in order to continue supporting the work of the Victory Child Care Project (VCCP). We have made changes to the education provided for the children, moving them from private schools to government schools. This is expected to save us approximately £10,000 over the next academic year. However, this may not be enough to ensure

		that we can continue to support VCCP to the same level as we have done previously. Since 2018-19, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our financial support for our partners other than the Victory Child Care Project (VCCP). This was done in order to protect our funding for VCCP, which is our main project and the one that we believe has the greatest impact on the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in sub- Saharan Africa. No financial support was given to other partners during the 2022-2023 financial year. We continue to monitor the situation and explore ways to increase our support for other partners in the future. The amount of money required by Tŷ Cariad Africa to support VCCP depends on the exchange rate between sterling and Ugandan shillings. The exchange rate has been stable for a number of years, and we monitor it regularly. As always, we will monitor all relevant situations and respond swiftly with due diligence to do as much as possible to limit and reduce risks as they arise. We will also closely monitor and explore any ways in which we can increase donations and decrease costs over the coming years. A review will also be held in the next financial year to look at how best we can provide sustainable support for VCCP in the years to come.
