**TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## EDUCATION 

We are passionate about safeguarding the prospects of the future generation and continue to support various education initiatives. 

Our university scholarship programme supported 20 students to specialise in Medicine, Bio-Medical  sciences and Public health. We also funded the construction of a new school block in the Masuku area which benefits 200 students and also a new kitchen area for a school in Mikundi to serve 400+ students. To ensure students have increased energy levels and engagement, we provided daily lunches to schools in Mikundi, Masuku  and Somba benefitting 200 students. 

## 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 12 Irrigation schemes which will directly benefit 5000 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. 

## BOREHOLES 

Boreholes provide easy access to safe and reliable clean water to families who otherwise would have to  travel long distances. This year we built 13 boreholes that directly benefitted approximately 39000 people. 

## SUSTAINABILITY 

These projects set communities up to be self-sustaining to earn a livelihood. We have planted 10000+ fruit trees, distributed 720 goats and bee hives for honey farming that benefits 2,240 people. 

## EMERGENCY RESPONSE 

Tropical storm, named ANA caused devastation across southern Malawi leaving almost 20 districts flooded and in some areas, without power and water supplies. More than 100,000 people were forced to flee their homes with most also unable to sustain incomes due to farmlands being devastated. An emergency relief effort was mobilised to support those affected which included the distribution of 1000 foodparcels, 2100 waterwheels and cash assistance to 1000 families. 

## **Rohingya Refugee Projects** 

## HOT FOOD DISTRIBUTION 

Everyone needs a hot meal. This provides a lifeline in terms of basic nutrition to those who are  malnourished and under privileged. Throughout the year, we provided 48000 hot meals to children, women and vulnerable adults. 

## FOOD PACK 

Many habitants within the refugee camps are unable to procure basic food essentials. We provided 1000 food packs to the most needy families in the refugee camps. 

## ROHINGYA HOMES 

Many families remain without adequate housing despite residing in the camps for a number of years. With continued uncertainty and no immediate plans for repatriation home, it was important that families were provided with a safe habitat. We provided 250 families with homes, all equipped with blankets, lighting and solar energy. 

## **Bangladesh Projects**

## HAND PUMPS IN BANGLADESH 

In rural areas where access to clean water was scarce, we built 30 handpumps in Bangladesh benefitting close to 1000 people. 

## **West Bengal Projects** 

## EMERGENCY RELIEF 

Following a cyclone which caused devastation across large parts of the country, essential supplies including foodpacks and hot food were provided to those impacted.

Every child has the right to be loved and nurtured and orphans are no exception. We continue to sponsor  340 orphan girls by providing them with housing, food, education and welfare. 

## **Yemen Projects** 

## YEMEN FOOD PACKS 

Yemen continues to experience a humanitarian crisis and remains the poorest of Arab nations. 1450 food parcels were distributed amongst the poor and needy. 

## YEMEN BREAD FACTORY 

We provided bread to 5000 people daily for 8 months (12 bread sticks in a pack). 

## YEMEN SOLAR HYBRID TUBEWELL 

We built 1 Water Pump which will provide clean water to approximately 7,500 people. 

## HOT FOOD 

12000 hot meals were provided to the poor and needy who were observing fasts during the month of Ramadan. 

## **Lebanon Projects** 

## EMERGENCY RELIEF 

Storms and heavy rain caused damage to refugee shelters meaning lives were at risk due the vulnerable having no protection from freezing temperatures. To protect lives, emergency relief was provided through  800 food packs, 300 winter blankets and 300 fuel gallons. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance onthe Public Benefit Requirement.

**DROP OF COMPASSION** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

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 12 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. 

## LEBANON 

Lebanon is currently home to Syrian refugees who have fled due to ongoing conflicts in their home country. Severe weather conditions in freezing temperatures put lives at risk unless emergency relief was provided. Drop of compassion provided emergency supplies including food packs, blankets and fuel gallons. 

## **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 £877,292 (2021: £1,053,432) in direct donations from the general public to carry out the programmes mentioned above. During the year £837,802 (2021: £1,012,091) 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.

**DROP OF COMPASSION** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The functional currency of the charity is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates. 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: 

**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.

**DROP OF COMPASSION** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **EXPENDITURE** 

**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**
