## **UNiViDA Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and actively work to establish systems and procedures to manage those risks. UNiViDA has policies and procedures in place to reduce risk and protect beneficiaries and volunteers. 

## **Objective and Activities** 

## **Objects** 

- To advance education, relieve sickness and hardship of those living in poverty, provision of support, activities, and resources to build skills and capacity of those people. 

- To advance the Christian faith and promote other similar purposes that are deemed charitable in such parts of the world as the Trustees see fit. 

## **Activities for Public Benefit** 

‐ UNIVIDA benefits 260 children and young people (aged 7 14) and their families, living in a favela on the outskirts of the city of Fortaleza. The Charity provides quality Christian education, training, and life skills in a safe learning environment. 

_Janiarla gives an outdoor class to year 8 and 9 students_ 

_Yasmin gives her father a gift o Father’s Day, which she made at the project_ 

UNiViDA provides 4 additional hours of education per day to complement the service of the State school system. This gives the opportunity for children to succeed in their schooling, access higher education and successfully compete for meaningful employment, ultimately improving quality of life. The Charity also cares for parents and families, providing opportunities for skills training, recreation, and family activities.

## **UNiViDA Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

In our view there is no detriment or harm that might arise from these aims. UNIVIDA benefits people living in favelas who are living in poverty. Access to benefits is offered freely and equally to all. The only requirement for children and young people wishing to access education and training in Brazil is that they are registered in state school (free to all). Outside of the beneficiaries, there are no private benefits from the organisation other than the incidental benefits of salaries to staff employed by our partners in Brazil to deliver these services. 

## **Volunteers** 

The organisation continues to benefit from the support of individuals in the UK, who fundraise and promote the work of the organization through churches, schools, and other groups.

## **UNiViDA Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Achievements, Performance in 2023** 

UNiViDA continued to work in partnership with the Brazilian association Crianças do Brasil para Cristo to deliver quality services for children aged 7-14 in the favelas of Fortaleza, Brazil. UNiViDA assists in the running of a project for 260 children, 5 days a week from 8am to 5pm, providing an additional 20 hours per week of education along with nutritional food and clean water. 

UNiViDA maintains regular financial support from a growing number of individuals and organisations. Emphasis is placed on sharing a relationship with donors and the results € of our services, delivered in Fortaleza.  With on-going daily .= a” care, we see children gaining the skills, confidence, physical and emotional strength to succeed in their _Dining Hall - Students receive a daily nutritious meal and clean water._ education. In addition to normal daily services UNiViDA brings families together by developing parenting skills and organising special events which engage parents in their children’s education. In 2023 this included a new holiday camp in July. 

2023 began with the completion of the kitchen project which was carried out in two stages between 2022 and 2023. In this final phase UNiViDA funds were used to furnish the extension with work surfaces, a new oven, and a washing machine. 

The new school year began in February and the theme chosen for the year was “Building Values.” During the second semester, new curriculum with a focus on financial education and stewardship was introduced and was well received by the students. 

General funds were used for the payment of staff and provision of daily services including hot meals for all students and staff, daily. 

In October 2023 additional UNiViDA funds were designated for the building of a drinking water station which provides 16 spigots and 3 taps for refilling water bottles. This bespoke construction allows large numbers of children to access chilled, filtered drinking water at peak | periods of the school day. UNiViDA funds were also used to purchase a pump to assist with drainage on the property during the rainy season.

## **Financial Review** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

UNiViDA holds £8,000 as two months of grant funds for general costs, and an additional £2,000 for UK related expenses. The total held in the reserve fund remained at £10,000. 

## **Designated Funds** 

UNiViDA holds £80,000 in this fund. This includes the £10,000 reserve mentioned above. The remaining balance was received as a legacy gift in 2022. The Trustees wish to maximise the benefit of this gift and have designated it for use for a large project, possibly as a matching grant to attract necessary funds for completion. At the time of writing this project is being determined. 

## **Income**

UNiViDA continues to raise funds through written communications with our donors and by speaking engagements or fundraising events organised by Trustees and Volunteers. 

Funds carried forward were £124,014 (2022: £128,568). Out of this Unrestricted General Funds were £44,014 and Designated Funds £80,000.

## **UNiViDA Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities for the financial statements** 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the year end. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to: 

- a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- c) State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- d) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees believe that these financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and with the requirements of the trust deed. 

Approved by the Trustees on 15 May 2024

## **UNiViDA Independent Examiner’s Report for the Year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report** 

I report to the Trustees of UNiViDA (“the charitable company”) on my examination of the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2023, which are set out on pages 9 to17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the “2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that: 

- 1) Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2) The financial statements do not accord with those accounting records; or 

- 3) The financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a “true and fair” view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4) The financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting for charities (applicable to charities preparing financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland - FRS 102) 

I 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 financial statements to be reached.
