The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 and "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 2022)".
Objectives and activities
S.A.L.V.E. International has been working since 2008, to meet the needs of children living and working on the streets of Jinja, Uganda. S.A.L.V.E. is providing opportunities so that no child should have to call the streets their home in Jinja, Uganda.
The charity's objects as set out in its governing document are:
i) The advancement of education for children living rough on the streets of Uganda (who in this document will be referred to as the “children”).
ii) The provision of housing, food and clothing for the children.
iii) The advancement and improvement of Ugandan education facilities.
The trustees have reviewed the guidance set out by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Charity is working for the public’s benefit by reducing homelessness, increasing access to education and reducing poverty in Uganda .
The main activities undertaken during the year in the furtherance of these objects were as follows:
Street Outreach
Street Outreach services to build trusting relationships with the children; including street walks, sports sessions and Drop in Centre services (separate centres are available for boys and girls).
Halfway Rehabilitation Homes
Having two Halfway Homes (one for boys and one for girls) that provide counselling, shelter, food, clothing and education to children as they transition away from the streets.
Drug Rehabilitation Centre
A Drug Rehabilitation Centre that provides addiction rehabilitation services, counselling, shelter, food, clothing and education to children as they transition away from the streets.
Resettlement
Family Resettlement and reintegration services, to help children successfully settle back to their extended family or within foster families.
Community Development
Family parenting skills and Business Empowerment training to help family members of children, and older youth who were living on the streets to cope better with challenging situations in their lives, develop their skill base and financially sustain themselves.
Education
Educational Support for children whose families could not otherwise have afforded to take them back to school or enrol them in vocational courses.
Permaculture

Research
Research to expand our relevant knowledge and expertise so that we can further increase our impact, for example research into the differences of street life between girls and boys, and also research into which other organisations are operating in our area and how we could refer people to them if they are in need of support but don’t fall within our remit and expertise.
Advocacy and Partnerships
Community Education and building partnerships to ensure that we are working as effectively as possible to reduce the number of children coming to the streets and reducing the barriers to children leaving the streets.
Advocating and raising awareness of the rights of children living on the streets and the realities of their lives.
We are a programme delivery organisation and, as such, do not offer grants to other organisations.
Achievements and performance
S.A.L.V.E. published our Head Counting Research. This showed a dramatic 192% increase in the number of children living and working on the streets of Jinja since the last data was collected in 2017.
822 children attended our Drop In Centre. We conducted 161 street walks; 76 sports sessions; and 4688 meals were supplied at our Drop In Centres.
211 children underwent rehabilitation at our residential centres, including 75 at our specialist Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
142 children were resettled back to their family, community or foster parents. 684 physical follow ups were conducted, as well as 1643 phone follow ups.
86 caregivers have been supported by our Community Development team to start their own business. This is a 41% increase from last year. 41 of these businesses were focused on permaculture.
18 children graduated from our education programme. In total, 158 children were supported in either primary or secondary school, or vocational training.
Financial review
The results for the year are set out on the Statement of Financial Activities and notes to the accounts. Fund balances at the year end were £298,943 (2023: £283,636).
Reserve balances will continue to be used to deliver the charitable outcomes of the organisation.
S.A.L.V.E. has a diversified fundraising strategy to mitigate risks and avoid overdependence on any single source of income. This includes; grants from Trusts, Foundations and Corporates, specific project or salary funding, regular and one off giving (including child educational support), community fundraising events (sponsored challenges and community events), running a small charity Lottery and claiming gift aid.
S.A.L.V.E. complies with the fundraising code of practice; we do our own fundraising through our staff and volunteers and we do not hire professional third party fundraisers to fundraise on our behalf. Most of our fundraisers are volunteers being supported by our small staff team. We offer training to anyone fundraising for S.A.L.V.E on how to safeguard vulnerable people both in terms of the way the service users and the work of the charity is portrayed, and how requests for donations are made. The charity received no complaints about its fundraising practice in the last year.
Total income for the year was £283,957 (2023: £283,926). The cash flow of the organisation is closely monitored.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Total expenditure for the year was £270,369 (2023: £277,903). Our key focus areas for the next financial year are: implementation of an internal vocational training programme, the expansion of our Street Outreach services and exploring further fundraising initiatives.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to cover three month’s expenditure not covered by any specific secured grants or donations. The current reserves at the time of writing this report are at this level.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
The Board of Trustees are not aware of any issues that will affect the ongoing activities of the charity.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. It was registered on 19 November 2008.
The legal name of the charity is Support and Love via Education International. The charity is also known by its operating name S.A.L.V.E.
S.A.L.V.E. International in the UK is working to raise funds and increase learning, development, partnerships and advocacy to further our programme of work in Uganda and to champion the rights of street connected children all over the world. S.A.L.V.E. International in Uganda is focused on delivering our direct programme work in Uganda.
S.A.L.V.E. International is governed by both a UK and a Ugandan board, recruited for their specific skills and expertise, to ensure S.A.L.V.E. is delivering the best quality work possible. The UK and Ugandan boards work together to set the number of staff needed to run the programmes in both Uganda and the UK, based on project plans and budgets available. They also work together to provide strategic oversight for the organisation. This is further supported by volunteers in Uganda and the UK, who enrich our team capacity and skill base so we can have greater impact.
Trustees are recruited in accordance with the governing document and are appointed by approval of a majority of trustees, after a recruitment process agreed by the Board.
The Board of Trustees hold trustee meetings every three months.
Day-to-day running of the charity lies in the hands of full time staff that make day-to-day decisions regarding operational matters. Staff work according to work plans set and agreed quarterly in advance with the CEO to ensure strategic objectives of the organisation and the business plan are being met. Trustees are responsible for decision making on long-term strategic direction and governance.
None of the trustees received any remuneration.
Investment:
S.A.L.V.E. trustees review higher interest, risk free, ethical investment opportunities for the charities reserves at board meetings and make decisions accordingly. The Co-operative Bank is our main UK Bank Account, chosen largely due to their ethical investment policy. S.A.L.V.E has a savings account with The Co-operative Bank and a savings account with Charity Bank.
Currency exchange:
S.A.L.V.E. is proactive in following the currency exchange between Ugandan shillings and British pounds. We aim to have a minimum of 3 financial brokerage services that fit our ethical investment policies who we invite to bid for our currency exchange transactions. The CEO works with our Finance Committee to make sure that S.A.L.V.E gets the best deal possible in the market for our currency. In this financial year, S.A.L.V.E invested in some forward contracts to help us to budget and plan more effectively with a fixed exchange rate guaranteed for part of our expenditure. This means we are affected less by the exchange value of the pound when it fluctuates. However, the forward contract rate was varied for this financial year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Basis of Accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:
-
the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014
-
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
-
and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
1.2 Going concern
The trustees have assessed and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
1.3 Change of accounting policy
The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 1. We have prepared our accounts on an accrual basis. There are no changes to our accounting policies.
1.4 Changes to accounting estimates
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period (3.46 FRS 102 SORP).

| to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as | |
| entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions | |
| are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). The charity has not received any performance | |
| related grants in this reporting period. | |
| Legacies | |

| performance related | goods or services or met the performance related conditions. The charity has |
| grants | not received any performance related grants in this reporting period. |
| Donated goods | Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. |
| The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to service users is | |
| deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they | |
| are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are | |
| distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the | |
| stocks at distribution. |
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the Donated services and value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured facilities reliably.

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
| Liability recognition | Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal |
|---|---|
| or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the | |
| amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. | |
| Governance and support costs |
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. |
| Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity | |
| cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating | |
| property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and | |
| other costs by their usage. | |
| Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific | |
| Grants with performance | level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in |
| conditions | the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service |
| or output. | |
| Grants payable without performance conditions |
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. |
| The charity recognises the cost of redundancy where staff member/s have to | |
| be let go due to no longer being needed. The charity would pay the statutory | |
| Redundancy cost | redundancy payments owed according to the country of operation the staff |
| member was working in. The charity made no redundancy payments during | |
| the reporting period. | |
| The charity recognises deferred income as money received but not yet | |
| Deferred income | earned. No material item of deferred income has been included in the |
| accounts in this reporting period. | |
| Creditors | The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. |
| A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then | |
| Provisions for liabilities | subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle |
| the obligation at the reporting date |

| Basic financial instruments |
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. |
|---|---|
| ASSETS | |
| Tangible fixed assets for | Tangible fixed assets are recognised if they provide an on-going economic |
| use by charity | benefit to the charity. Tangible fixed assets are measured initially on the |
| balance sheet at their historical cost and are depreciated over the assets | |
| useful economic life. The depreciation rates and methods applied by the | |
| charity are disclosed in note 9.2. | |
| Intangible fixed assets | The charity does not currently have any intangible fixed assets, that is, non- |
| monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and | |
| are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation | |
| rates and methods used would be disclosed in the notes if we acquire assets | |
| of this nature in the future. They will be valued at cost. | |
| Heritage assets | The charity does not currently have heritage assets, that is, non-monetary |
| assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or | |
| environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their | |
| contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods | |
| used would be disclosed in the notes if we acquire assets of this nature in the | |
| future. | |
| They would be valued at cost. | |
| Investments | Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar |
| investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their | |
| market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted | |
| investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is | |
| measured at cost less impairment. | |
| Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash | |
| equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current | |
| asset investments. The charity did not hold any investments of this kind within | |
| the reporting period. | |
| Stocks and work in | Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower |
| progress | cost or net realisable value. |
| Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at | |
| net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. |

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.
Current asset investments
Current asset investments include investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
