TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

During this financial year, we have carried out the following work:

LEICESTER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

We supported the funding towards developing a dedicated children's hospital in Leicester to serve the entire East Midlands region. The facility includes a dedicated HDU ward and 10 single bed rooms.

COVID19 LOCAL SUPPORT

A number of local charities were supported to procure essential food and domestic items for those in need during the pandemic. Foodbanks were assisted with 600kg+ frozen chicken fillets, 10,000+ eggs, 250+ cereal packs, 500+ packs of rice and substantial quantities of other essential food items including tea/coffee, squash, tinned fish/fruit/veg.

We also Provided 600 hand lotions to NHS Leicester (200 per site) and calculators and magic Pens to hospital COVID-19 wards in collaboration with Office Depot Leicester.

Malawi Projects

HEALTH

We continued to provide free consultations and treatments for common conditions including malaria at the health clinic we have sponsored in Somba for the last 6 years where 3300 patients are seen monthly. The clinic also provides maternity services covering prenatal, birth and postnatal care through which we supported 841 births.

EDUCATION

We continued to sponsor various education institutes including a nursery in Zomba which accommodates 30 students, a primary school in Somba with 1400 students and Mikundi with 400 students. In addition to fulfilling educational needs, we also provided hot meals to the students. 4 young adults were provided with university sponsorships.

The development of a new secondary school commenced with the foundation being laid however completion was delayed to April 2022 due to COVID-19 and rising material costs.

WATER IRRIGATION

The scheme supplies an abundance of water to a village all year round. This is enough to provide the foundation for growing staple crops, introduction of new high earning crops, fruit farms, honey farms, fish farming, cattle rearing and ability to sell to market. This year we have completed 20 Irrigation schemes which will benefit over 8000 people.

WATERWHEELS

A simple, highly effective roller device to make transporting water easy. Normally, women and children carry buckets on their heads travelling considerably long distances.

We distributed 2100 waterwheels to families across a number of rural areas enabling them to transport water back from long distances to their villages safely without having to carry buckets on their heads.

SUSTAINABILITY

These projects set communities up to be self-sustaining to earn a livelihood. We planted 2100 fruit trees, 96 bee hives for honey farming and distributed 420 goats.

DRILLED BOREHOLES

Boreholes can be drilled to provide a safe and reliable source of water for a whole community and avoid the risk of cross contamination of water borne diseases. We built 12 Boreholes in Zomba, Mangochi and Blantyre Districts which will provide clean water to approximately 20,000 people.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

MALAWI

Drop of compassion remains committed to providing long term, sustainable solutions in Malawi. The country remains amongst the poorest in the world with an ongoing need for relief support. Our projects in the current year were delivered against key focus areas including Water, health, education and sustainability. Despite the pandemic, we were still able to deliver scale projects benefitting thousands of people. These included 20 irrigation schemes which not only alleviate the initial need of access to clean water but a means to earn a sustainable income through crop yields. It is also the charities intention to expand on our existing portfolio of community hubs which benefit from a number of our projects in a single location and have proven successful in create thriving communities.

ROHINGYA

Drop of compassion have continued to provide essential relief to the Rohingyan refugees that fled the war in Myanmar into Bangladesh. With no immediate plans for repatriation, the charity intends to continue supporting with housing shelters and basic necessities including food and medical care. This will ensure that those already suffering from being displaced from their home are not left neglected with the additional worry of survival without essentials.

WEST BENGAL

Drop of Compassion identified a need to support 340 orphan/children girls whose family couldn't provide for them. We took on the responsibility of the upkeep of these children to facilitate in their welfare, education and social development. Those children who have completed their education are then provided further training to then teach within the institute or supported in moving to further their careers or aspirations. We remain committed to the continued support of the orphanage running costs whilst also exploring how the building can be improved with better facilities and living standards,

YEMEN

The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen where they remain the poorest of Arab nations supported our decision to provide emergency relief to those in need. In the short term, we plan on continuing with our projects to provide water and food relief to those in need. There is currently no long term strategy to continue to work in Yemen.

Financial review

Financial position

Overall, the charity is in a healthy position as demonstrated by our accounts for the period in concern. This is mainly due to effective cost control, which ensures our running costs are kept to an acceptable level.

During the year the charity raised £1,053,432 (2020: £456,615) in direct donations from the general public to carry out the programmes mentioned above. During the year £1,012,091 (2020: £421,475) from the restricted funds were expensed for specific projects.

The charity continues to work closely with a number of partner organisations in providing aid to the needy and, most of the above expenditure was spent with these partner organisations.

A small amount raised with no restrictions in addition to the income tax recoverable from Gift Aid, continue to provide the charity with sufficient funds to carry out its charitable objectives as well as the administration of the charity.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DROP OF COMPASSION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Drop Of Compassion (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 28th February 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DROP OF COMPASSION

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

-10-

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DROP OF COMPASSION

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

-11-

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF DROP OF COMPASSION

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements are also presented in pounds sterling, The amounts in the financial statements are presented to the nearest £1, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the charity's accounting policies. There are no significant areas requiring material judgements, estimates or assumptions.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies: This comprises all incoming resources from donations collected directly or by volunteers and income from fundraising events during the year. Gift Aid tax recoverable under the Gift Aid Scheme is recognised where there is an entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has been or will be made, such income is included in the debtors’ amount if still not received by the year end.

The value of services provided by volunteers is difficult to put a monetary value on and therefore has not been included in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

EXPENDITURE

Charitable activities: Costs associated with the provision of emergency relief, development and longer term rehabilitation programmes as elaborated on in the Trustees’ Report. These include both direct charitable expenditure, grants payable and support costs relating to these activities. Grants payable to other organisations for relief projects are included in the SOFA when approved by the trustees and agreed with the other organisation.

Support costs: Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs for a single activity are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, Support costs that represent the support functions of management, finance, human resources, IT and support departments attributable to the management of the Charity's assets, are allocated in proportion to the type of charitable activity during the period.

Governance costs: These are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity's activities. Governance support costs are allocated on the basis of support activities provided on clearly interpreted governance matters.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
