Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01/09/2022 Period start date To 31/08/2023 Period end date Charity name: Uplifting Nepal’s Children with Love and Education (UNCLE)

Charity registration number: 1126515

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The relief of financial hardship for those living in poverty in Nepal, especially orphans living in the Glorious Mission and Himalayan Foundation orphanages (now renamed the Hope for Children Hostel PVT Ltd and the Trinity Hostel PVT Ltd respectively). To advance the education and health of those orphans, by providing funding for their education, further education, a healthy and sustaining diet and their medical fees. To advance the Christian religion in Nepal for the benefit of the public through the provision of places of worship and help for those in church ministry.
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	During the year the charity continued to send quarterly payments of money to the Hope for Children Hostel (HCH) and Trinity Hostel (TH) to pay for the accommodation, food, educational and health needs of the children. Financially we managed to maintain our regular payments sending £9,880 to the HCH and £11,700 to the TH in 2022/23. There have been special fund-raising efforts with a Christmas Appeal in Harwood raising £1,000 and a sponsored Camino Walk raising £2,000. In April, the Chairman visited both Hostels in Nepal and was able to establish that they continue to provide safe and well-run environments for the children. He discovered that toilets previously provided by the charity for refugees associated with a church in Hetauda, which we support, needed repair and additions. An appeal raised £6785 to pay for this.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees have read the guidance on public benefit and have had regard to it at the meetings of the charity when formulating policies and deciding on the grants to be awarded to our beneficiaries.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The Charity had an income of £28,215 and expenditure of £29,001, resulting in a deficit of £785 for the year 2022/23. The bank balance was, therefore, reduced from £7,327 at the start of the financial year to £6,542 at the end.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	It is the policy of the Charity to seek to maintain reserves equivalent to one quarterly transfer to the 2 hostels at the point a quarterly transfer is made.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£4655 This amount is included in the balance held at the bank at the year-end (£6,542). Our income relies on the donations which fluctuate through the year. To have a reserve enables the charity to maintain essential payments and meet occasional requests for urgent additional payments.
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	Not applicable
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	The charity relies primarily on the voluntary donations of committed supporters and other members of the public. Whilst uncertainty is inherent in relying on voluntary donations, the donations to this

charity have continued for 15 years and remained sufficient to enable us to operate successfully as a going concern.
