The Peru Mission

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

The Peru Mission reports that during the financial year 2021 our activities in Peru were the following:

(i) The financial state of the charity continues to be satisfactory. In 2021 we raised and spent slightly more than in 2020. The shape of income and expenditure in 2021 was dictated by the pandemic.
a. Additional funds came in the form of donations from individuals. Fundraising events that were planned had to be cancelled.

Joe Plumb negotiated agreements with Dere Street Homes and William Leech charity to provide financial support towards Joe's consultancy fees and for administration support IT equipment for recording video updates on our website and social media platforms.

b. Donations from our regular business and church supporters also gave generously to help our work during the pandemic.
(ii) Joe Plumb successfully completed his Teacher Training in the UK before returning to Iquitos with his family and resumed his work as the Peru Mission Projects Coordinator and as the UK Honorary Consul in Iquitos
(iii) We had no schools visiting Peru this year because of the pandemic.
(iv) We had no building projects this year. All of our efforts and money were concentrated on urgent needs because of the impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
(v) The Trustees agreed early in the Pandemic that our most effective way of working would be to be responsive to immediate needs at a level within our financial ability. During 2021 the extraordinary arrangements implemented in 2020 were stopped and we returned to our normal governenace where the Trustees will be involved in all financial decisions.

Also we reduced the amount of assistance given to food kitchens as the Peruvian economy opened up.

This allowed us to:

Since August 2021 The Peru Mission:

-has assisted 15 Peruvian school pupils with school uniform, shoes, rucksacks, exercise books and stationery.
-has assisted 3 cases of serious injury or illness in women and children, financing medicines, purchase of wheelchairs, remedial physiotherapy treatment.
-provided vital medicines to a Peruvian child of 2yrs of age suffering serious malnutrition and intestinal infection and medication and food supplemenst from several weeks to restore the child’s weight to a healthy level.
-has purchased and distributed 80 mosquito-nets to protect children and adolescents against an epidemic of dengue fever in the Amazon Region of Peru.
-has supplied roofing materials to 6 families whose homes were destroyed by fire in a barrio on the periphery of the City of Iquitos, Peru.
-was able to make a gift of 180 Christmas hamper of basic food necessities to families and elderly people in indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest.
-was able to make a gift of a Christmas panettone and a toy to approximately 440 children in both Amazonian indigenous rainforest communities and in barrios in Peru.
-provided hand-washing products, masks, disinfecting and sanitizing products to 8 primary and secondary schools in Peru.

Public benefit

When planning the activities of The Peru Mission and responding to emergency crises outlined in the activities mentioned above, the trustees of TPM has been mindful of the Commission's guidance on public benefit. This guidance has helped us to remain focused on the core purposes for which the charity was established. We believe that the range of activities mentioned above are fully compliant with this obligation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Charity's that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

As at 31 December 2021 the charity's reserves are £25,607 (2020 - £9,715).

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 27 September 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

The Peru Mission

Independent Examiner's report to the board of Trustees on the preparation of the accounts of The Peru Mission 31 December 2021

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 set out on pages five to eight.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 statements 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 Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
