Educate Peru Trustees’ Annual Report (continue) Year ended 30 September 2021 a a The trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021.

Structure, governance and management

Trustees

The Trustees of the charitable company were:

J Bignell

AM Kirby AD Bignell

Trustees are appointed by the members in a general meeting. Trustees meet regularly and are responsible for making decisions. Trustee appointments are made on the basis of nominations by members.

Objectives and activities

Educate Peru was set up to provide education in the poorest part of Lima, where no school had previously existed. This was achieved, entirely by local fundraising and donations, in 2008. We started with 120 children aged 5 — 9 and we now have, in 2022, approx. 800 children aged 4 — 16. The school is open from 8 — 4pm — much longer than a State school would be, but the school is built on a State piece of land, so that they are obliged to pay the teachers.

Achievements and Performance

To date, the school is rated approx. 10" in the country of Peru, has 82 of the 800 children “godparented”, which means all their monthly school costs are paid for including their main meal, cooked in our kitchen there. The school is very cheap — and although State education is free, because our school is open all day, the staff have to be paid for the afternoon, hence the charge of about £20 pm. The State only pays for half a day's teaching.

Two years ago, EP funded the building of a Bakery Training School, so that our school leavers can train there to have a career, open their own artesan business etc.

Currently, the legacy received in 2020/21, as a gift from my friend Edith Bason, will be used to build a refuge for abused children, which does not exist in that zone. Due to Covid and my daughter’s cancer, | was not able to stay long enough to finalise a contract to achieve all that. | have been promised a piece of land near the school and that is what | shall continue with and focus on, when | go out there again in May 2022.

Our response to Covid-19

As all the children are Peruvians and in Peru, we abide by the local and and national regulations. When the school was closed for a while, | sent the godparents’ money, with their prior approval, to the parents of the children, to help feed them.

Trustees’ Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 September 2021

Reserves policy

It is the intention of the Trustees that the freely available reserves of the Trust should be built up to, and maintained at, a level which is sufficient to ensure the continuation of the Trust's activities.

The reserves policy is subject to regular review by the Trustees.

investment powers, policy & performance

As the money is spent, twice a year for the children’s school costs, there is nothing to invest. Any money that is received as “extra”, like Gift Aid, | judge, along with my two other trustees, as to what to spend it on. E.g. currently, | have just sent some money to build a little prefab house for a father and 2 little boys, whose wife died last year and whose grandmother also died, upon hearing the news of her daughter. They are currently living in a 3-sided room with a curtain at the front, on part of the land owned by the grandmother. Previously, they were all together, but other family have arrived, so they needed their own habitation.

Financial review

This is done at our AGM and the accounts are done, with receipts for all outgoings, by Adepta.

Risk Management

There is no risk as no monies are kept in Peru. The EP account is held here by Santander and all accounts are available at any time. The idea is, that as a very small charity, having built the school, the monies paid in on a monthly basis by the godparents, goes out twice a year, as stated. So there are not huge sums of money being paid out on expenses. There are no running expenses, as no one who helps is paid anything, including me.

Going Concern

The Trustees acknowledge the significant uncertainty surrounding the duration of the Covid-19 national pandemic on the national economy and the Trust's activities. They will continue to monitor the impact on the Trust and its financial arrangements.

The Trust started the current financial year in a strong financial position with a healthy level of reserves. This is expected to assist the Trust in dealing with the exceptional circumstances of the present time.

The Trustees view at the date of signing the financial statements is that the Trust remains viable and remains a going concern.

Plans for Future Periods

As stated, when donations and/or legacy comes along, it will be used for the benefit of children in my school or the surrounding area.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

independent Examiners Report to the Members of Educate Peru

Year ended 30 September 2021

| report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Educate Peru for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 1 to 14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

| report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination | have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5){b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, | express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.

independent examiner's statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

| have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached,
