ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
Supporting Dalit Children is supporting pre-school, high school, pre- university, university and post graduate education for 3 to 23-year old Dalit students in the state of Karnataka, Southern India. Supporting Dalit Children also supports a clean water project that supplies clean drinking water to 12,000 people in 20 villages, food aid in the form of sacks of rice and food parcels, and the supplies needed for a tailoring school for Dalit teenage girls. During 2020 Supporting Dalit Children has received funds from sponsorships, the selling of charity merchandise and donations from individuals as well as from charitable Trusts.
The Covid 19 pandemic meant that planned visits to both Pannur Manvi Mission and Mundgod Mission had to be cancelled. Therefore fundraising for these trips was also cancelled.

The trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted reserves should be sufficient to cover advance sums needed for the preliminary booking of the next fund raising event. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the trustees throughout the year.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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.
