education. Our team of Ugandan staff who care for the children, all work hard to support those vulnerable in the immediate wider community, supporting with rent, healthcare, education etc as required. Our aim is to support those in most need and our objective is to keep children with their own family wherever possible.
## **How we work**
Isaac’s House is largely run by volunteers and relies on their commitment and support to carry out the work of the charity. Isaac’s House has regular income generated from individuals donating monthly payments towards the costs of those we support. The charity has individuals sponsoring children and these funds pay for their education, healthcare, rent etc. The committee and other volunteers fundraise for specific projects as and when the need arises.
Trustees Report for Financial Year 2020/2021 The Committee of Isaac’s House have carried out their duties in the management of Isaac’s House charity successfully during the period 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. They have overseen all charity activity, ensured the accounts have been handled in the correct manner and that all relevant business transactions have been carried out in full. At Isaac’s House we have ensured our children have grown up in a family environment whilst maintaining contact with their relatives. With the same team of staff we’ve had a safe, happy and stable environment for the **Summary of the main** children. **activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to** New legislation was enacted in Uganda during 2019/2020 financial year **these objects (include within** and we have taken steps to fully comply: **this section the statutory declaration that trustees have Ugandan Children’s Act had regard to the guidance** A child should remain in institutional care only for the period of time **issued by the Charity** necessary to trace family and resettle the child. **Commission on public** All reasonable measures should be taken to help families stay together **benefit)** only children whose family are unable, or unwilling, to look after the child, even with appropriate support. **UN Guidelines for Alternative Care** Poverty is not a reason for separation: The Guidelines make clear that financial or material poverty are not conditions for separation of a child from his/her family. In line with these changes, James Dunn House of Hope was **closed** on 29[th] January 2020, with all children **re-settled.** The children returned to boarding school and Jessica social worker provided the paperwork of the resettlement plans to the officials which included details on future support and reunification packages.

- **achievements of the charity** a secure and stable environment.
- **during the year** - Children continued to work hard at their studies, impacted by COVID.

- Our Charity founder visits Uganda four times per year, spending time with the children and ensuring their wellbeing (impacted by COVID travel restrictions but since resumed).
Over the last accounting period, July 2019 to June 2020, we have completed fundraising to generate funds to build homes for Peace and Brian, two of our young people and their families. These building projects were completed in this July 2020 to June 2021 accounting period and ownership and responsibility for these homes lies with Peace and Brian. It is the trustees aim to encourage our young people to become selfsufficient once their education is completed and in doing so, our young people can then support the wider Isaacs House causes.

## **Section F Other optional information**
Impact of COVID
During COVID pandemic, our Charity founder was unable to visit Uganda and we relied upon updates by phone, including facetime, calls, texts and messages. Through these means, we were able to continue to support the children. Our founder has visited Uganda twice since lockdown measures were lifted.
Trustees were unable to complete additional fundraising activities due to lockdown measures being in place in UK.

- **Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
- **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
- **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- **examiner's statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
