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 2021/2022
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 2021 to 30 June 2022. 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.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
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 children. New legislation was enacted in Uganda during 2019/2020 financial year and we continue to fully comply:
**Ugandan Children’s Act** A child should remain in institutional care only for the period of time necessary to trace family and resettle the child. All reasonable measures should be taken to help families stay together 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 the appointed social worker provided the paperwork of the resettlement plans to the officials which included details on future support and reunification packages.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Since re-homing, the Isaac’s House children have continued to flourish in a secure and stable environment.
- Our Charity founder visits Uganda around four times per year, spending time with the children and ensuring their wellbeing.
- The children in education enjoy learning and work hard at their studies.
- We continue to extend support to children in the wider community, sometimes through helping their parents.
- The Isaacs House children are growing into young adults and some have now completed their education. It is the Isaacs House trustees aim to help our young people to become self sufficient so that they can provide for themselves and their dependants.
- Over the period July 2020 to June 2021, we built homes for Peace and Brian, two of our young people and their families. Ownership and responsibility for these homes now lies with Peace and Brian.
- The Isaacs House trustees are now aiming to convert the existing houses that are now empty due to the Ugandan legislation (see above) into individual homes so that each young person has their own base to live in or rent out with the objective of bringing their reliance on the charity to an end.
- Through this accounting period, the trustees laid down plans to split the land titles so that we can move to individual houses as above.

## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** Isaacs House **members of On accounts for the year** 30 June 2022 **Charity no** 1124542 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** Cc16a Isaacs House Financial Year July 2021 to June 2022 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
**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.
