## **WITH LOVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE** **“WLATAP”** **Annual Report and Financial Statements** **2022** ## **Annual Report** ## **Report from the Trustees** The Board of With Love All Things Are Possible opened this year of activity recognising that there were new ways in which the charity could support the people of Burma, in line with the intentions of the founders. The Board determined that it wanted to respond to needs created by the disastrous consequences of the attempted military coup and the deterioration in health and education for people across all parts of the country. The Board therefore agreed to expand the purposes of the charity to meet the growing needs of its beneficiaries. On 14 March 2021, the Board received the approval of the Charity Commission to expand its goals to: 1. The relief of poor children living in developing countries with a special emphasis on children with a physical or mental disability by the provision of grants to schools, in particular, but not exclusively, so as to improve their education and their lives 2. The relief of adults and children in developing countries through supporting healthcare and healthcare institutions so as to improve their health and lives 3. The relief of refugees in developing countries to improve their health and lives. Following this expansion in the charitable purposes of With Love All Things Are Possible, the Board determined to develop a proposal to respond to COVID-19 in Burma. Burma’s early experience of the pandemic, while serious, was mitigated by actions undertaken by the democratic government of the time. These mitigations collapsed with the military coup, leaving Myanmar facing a major public health emergency at a time of political chaos. Many doctors refused to serve the unlawful military junta, and medical personnel were targeted by the military. Myanmar’s health service has suffered decades of neglect, and still lags significantly behind other countries in the region. While increased financial input between 2010 and 2021 lifted Myanmar’s investment in health off the very bottom of the world’s health investment index, Myanmar’s health service remained at the time of the coup poorly equipped to tackle the entrenched health challenges in the country. The efforts of the democratic government under Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to create a defence against COVID-19 have been dismantled by the coup and its aftermath.. We were asked to developed a proposal to develop a practical and action-oriented COVID-19 plan, working with ethnic health and front line local providers not allied to the junta. The proposal was designed to be a participatory process to empower each level of pandemic response in the fight against COVID-19, and as the first part of a more comprehensive reform of Myanmar’s National Health Plan. By enabling key participants to work together on practical pandemic mitigation, the charity looked to support the creation of a new grammar and experience to inform wider discussions on an inclusive and representative future for Myanmar. The project was approved by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office [FCDO] for funding. A first tranche of £56,940 FCDO funding was received on 5/1/22, and a core team was recruited to include an experienced project manager well versed in the healthcare realities of Burma. The project began at this time, and is scheduled to last until April 2023. The Board has also sought and received funding from a private donor to support this project. The principal outputs of this project are: - A realistic Action Plan responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, including practical plans for mitigation, prevention and vaccination - Coordination of actions to use education and telemedicine programmes as effectively as possible - A process to enable key healthcare partners to come together, to understand each other and to share expertise for the shared building of better provision across the country, including in areas traditionally under-served by official government provision - Better engagement with donors willing to support healthcare for the most vulnerable in Burma. The charity has sought in the project to deliver: - A shared building of pandemic responses across ethnic and local partners, including civil society, that enable multiple regional healthcare systems to work better and in more coordinated ways - A growth in trust across ethnic and national health providers - The creation of a shared plan to enable effective collaboration in future emergency/pandemic events. The wider impacts of this work were designed to include: - That the people of Myanmar benefit from an informed, coordinated and practical response to the pandemic - That ethnic health providers, and civil society groups deliver as much and as best as they can, overcoming one at least of the divisive elements of the coup. - Improved trust in dialogue as a process to progress common aims. - A successful operational forum for ongoing discussions and resolution of differences in issues beyond healthcare. Throughout, the trustees assured that careful attention was paid to risk, recognising that Burma is highly volatile in the aftermath of the coup. The Board recognised specific risks around AML, ABC, ATF and the danger of aid diversion, and funds were therefore assigned to support a Finance Manager able to keep careful control over budgets and payments. Board oversight of the project has been provided by weekly meetings of the Project Director, the Finance Manager and a nominated trustee. Reports prepared for the donor have been shared with Board members, as have regular financial updates and bank reconciliations. The Board is delighted that the charity has been able to respond in this way to an immediate and urgent need, and to work with health leaders from across the states and regions of Burma in this way. The Board acknowledges the invaluable support of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in developing and approving this proposal, and recognises with thanks the contribution made by UK-AID to our work. We are deeply grateful for the hard work of our Project Director and his team in delivering this important project.

Richard Atterbury CHAIR of TRUSTEES **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of With Love All Things Are Possible** I report on my examination of the financial statements of With Love All Things Are Possible (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022. This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body, for any work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the Charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). You consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144 (2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act; - follow the procedures laid down in general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 144(2) of the Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ## T E James Trevor James FCA DChA FCIE Dormer Cottage West Broyle Chichester West Sussex PO19 3PR 31 January 2023 ## **WLATAP** ## **Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2022** |**Income**
