The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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** ## **Grantmaking** During the course of thre year Supporting Dalit Children made 31 grants totalling £166,701.29 to 3 separate causes. The amounts sent to each cause are stated below. £133,439.80 to the Centre for Non-Formal and Continuing Education for the purposes of financially supporting the |Pannur Manvi Mission, i.e Loyola School, Xavier School and Loyola College (all in Manvi), and Loyola Kapepaladi School,hostel and school bus service in Pannur. Supporting Dalit Children also supports a drinking water project and tailoring schools run by Pannur Manvi Mission. In 2021 for the first time Supporting Dalit Children supported the Pannur Manvi Mission's request for medical supplies needed to help with alleviating difficulties caused by the Covid 19 pandemic. Our Medical Appeal in April raised £12,470.85 for this purpose. £26,386.49 to the Pannur Health Centre in the village of Pannur run by the Sisters of St Joseph's of Tarbes, for the primary health care of the Dalit children attending Loyola Kapepaladi School, the families and other Dalit families living in the surrounding villages. Due to Covid 19, the Pannur Health Centre requested financial assistance to buy a much-needed ambulance. An Ambulance Appeal was launched and a total of £18,308.99 was raised. £6,875.00 to Mangalore Jesuit Educational Society, for medical treatment and to help with the demands of the Covid pandemic. The charity is run voluntarily i.e no salaries are paid whatsoever. Trustees and thrir families fund all the office runninf expenses and travel expenses to India, in order to keep expenses to a minimum. in 2021 expenses totalled £844.06 made up of printinh charity Newsletters and Barclaycard expenses. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Fundraising activities** Supporting Dalit Children is supporting many projects ranging from pre-school, high school, pre-university, university and post graduate education for 3 to 23 year old Dalit students in the state of Karntaka, southern india. Supporting Dalit Children also supports a clean drinking water project and tailoring schools for Dalit teenage girls,.Supporting Dalit Children supports requests for emergency food and medical aid when such requests are sent to us. Supporting Dalit Children raises funds through sponsorships, selling of charity merchandise, fundraising, individual donations and donations from charitable Trusts. Again this year the Covid 19 pandemic meant that planned visits to India have been postponed. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** 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. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity's objects and regulations are regulated by a trust deed dated 8th May 2008, and under that Deed is constituted as a charitable trust. It is a registered charity, number 1125102. The trust deed provides for three trustees - the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer of Supporting Dalit Children. Were there a requirement for new trustees, these would be recommended and agreed by the existing trustees.
