Our radical re-imagining of health and life skills education provides a low-risk, high-return approach that is proven to improve health in places where preventable diseases still cause too many early deaths. CfH works in partnership with scalable, measurable government programmes, major international organisations and research departments of Universities. Our partners share our commitment and passion to involve and support children as ambassadors and communicators of essential health messages. This is based on two key insights: 1. That children in most countries in the world play a vital role in their communities, looking after their siblings and friends, often without adult presence or supervision; and 2. That providing health information to these children in a relevant, fun and compelling way delivers immediate and lasting benefits in their communities. Alongside its partners, CfH researches, develops, promotes and distributes health education materials for children and educators. Among these, we have developed 100 simple life-saving health messages “The 100” for children to learn and share, with 10 messages in each of 10 health topics including Malaria, Immunisation and HIV & Aids. With our content and activities and approach, we contribute towards enabling healthier, empowered families. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 3 ## **Letter From the Chairman of Trustees in the year Tobias Hanbury** Dear CFH Friends and Supporters, _2022 was a year of consolidation for Children for Health, after the very challenging Covid years 2020-2021. We have continued to develop and maintain a very impressive portfolio of programmes and partnerships._ _We continue to rely on the generous flexibility of our CEO, Clare Hanbury, who runs the charity partly on a pro bono basis during the times when we have been unable to afford her time._ _Details of our activities and programmes are set out in detail in Clare’s report below._ _Our positioning as a global resource hub of heigh quality health education resources for low-income settings, is reflected in our impressive download statistics. This year we put more resources into building our presence on social media and finding new ways to get our resources into the hands of those who need them the most._ _Fund-raising is difficult and we have seen a downturn since the pandemic. This is particularly the case with the unrestricted funds o which we rely for the good governance of the charity as well as flexibility to respond to the needs of our close partners and allies._ _As in previous years, I would like to recognise and appreciate the support, efforts, and commitment of my fellow Trustees on the Board of Children for Health. Also, Clare’s tenacity, determination, and generosity in driving our work forward and donating her time to the charity has been greatly appreciated._ _We continue to count on everyone’s commitment and perseverance to see us through 2023 and beyond._ _Yours sincerely,_ Tobias Hanbury Chairman of Trustees (resigned 21 July 2023) Children for Health 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 4 ## **Review of 2022 Activities Clare Hanbury, CEO** Dear Friends, I feel that this during year Children for Health has been like a small airplane that has been well serviced over the past year and it is now taking off. We are a bit down on unrestricted donations this year, but we are having more success fundraising for specific projects. This is great as we are getting to do new things, but we’d love more flexibility to develop our online school and do more work on publicising what we already have and already do. This year we have continued our work with an amazing colleague in Zambia, Kelvin Nsekwila with whom we have develop a _Super Better Children for Health_ – a new curriculum on wellbeing. Kelvin won our 2022 Outstanding Partner Award. This award is in memory of these giants of International Child Health and Education. Hugh Hawes, Prof David Morley and Beverley Young. The work of these three, inspire me daily and motivate me to keep going especially when things are difficult. We have completed our partnerships with colleagues in Eswatini (HIV and AIDS), with Guam (Type 2 Diabetes poster and a Bullying and Resilience story), with Mozambique (School Health and Nutrition) with Zambia (Well-being, Nutrition and Malaria). Work is ongoing in Guam (Type 2 Diabetes Toolkit) and Zambia (Inclusive Education Poster and Storybook) We began work Loughborough University and in February 2023 I will be going to Mexico to work with the Maya community in Yucatan and alongside parents, teachers, children and academics, looking at what children can do in the realms of nutrition, hygiene, physical activity and the stimulation of infants and young children. We will work with local artists and local universities. We have continued to grow partnerships with others with whom we expect to work next year on the topics of Water Sanitation and Hygiene, Climate Change, Early Childhood Development and Sexual Health. We strongly hope that in 2023 our work in Mozambique can resume, and we can get ourselves back alongside the School Health and Nutrition Department of Mozambique’s national Ministry of Education. You may remember that in February 2020 we were formally invited to scale our programme across the country – and then the pandemic hit. So far it has been impossible to get back to where we were although we are very proud of the teachers’ guide published in both English and Portuguese that we co-created with partners there which at least is our flag in the ground that provides information on exactly where we are now with the programme and what we wish to achieve. It also is a practical way for any educator wanting to use our programme in the classroom. An important headline is that – from OUR website alone we have had **42,000 downloads of our resources in 142 countries! An average of 3,500 a month.** After you have read this summary, I would encourage you to visit our website www.childrenforhealth.org to view all of our colourful, attractive posters, storybooks and guidebooks, and have a look at our blog to see our illustrated posts and case studies. Here are further details on the main areas of progress in 2022 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 5 ## **Our Digital Hub** In March we launched our new website which is SO much slicker on the mobile. www.childrenforhealth.org 85% of our views are by people on the mobile so we had to revise and upgrade the site. We worked with a great team in India. A big shout out to Amy Collins who managed this project and handles our website and so much more for all the work she has put in this year. In 2022 our role as a Global Knowledge Hub for health education content and activities for children continues to hum and develop. This year we recorded downloads of our materials in a total of 142 countries! We went from a monthly average of 3955 downloads in the first 6 months to a monthly average of 3460 by the end of the year. In addition, our storybooks and other booklets are distributed by Worldreader; their quarterly reports give us precise data on the exact numbers of readers, the pages read and the countries where they are being read. We have reached thousands and thousands of readers through this platform, mostly in Africa. The top 5 publications downloaded just from our website in 2022 were: - Malaria Poster - Nutrition Poster - Unlocked! - The 100 Messages Booklet in Malayalam - Diarrhoea Poster ## **Social Media** This year we are working with a new part time team member who is helping us a lot to get our Social Media up and running. Here are the links and please take a look at our new content and videos. https://www.facebook.com/Children4Health/ https://twitter.com/children4health https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarehanbury1/ https://www.youtube.com/user/ChildrenForHealth https://www.instagram.com/childrenforhealth/ 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 6 ## **Working remotely with colleagues and partners** 2022 has seen us continue to connect with colleagues around the world. Our anticipated field work in Mexico in 2023 will be the first time we will have been in the field since February 2020. Amazing! But it doesn’t really feel like such an absence. I have had regular meetings with colleagues all over the world. WhatsApp has been a great way to send and receive videos and photos to our partners in Zambia and Eswatini who have been particularly good at keep us informed of their work with children in this way When I went on the road all over the UK in September and October, I keep in touch with everyone from my van and even created training videos! ## **Research – Mexico** 2022 has seen the start of our field work with the Loughborough University. We are finalizing sets of cards featuring health messages fund activities or children. Our field work will see these piloted and further ideas collected to produce training and other materials to help teachers and parents. We had started this project in 2022 but there were many delays due to the COVID pandemic. In 2023 this project will be implemented in Mexico with the ultimate goal of rolling it out to other Spanish-speaking countries (with a focus on Latin and South America). The project brings together us with: - The Maya Project (Loughborough University). - Primary School Ignacio Allende, Casa Colibri, Mexico Yucatan. - Universidad Modelo, Merida; and - Universidad Vizcaya das Americas. We contributed to a large research project on the topic of ‘Ending Childhood Obesity’ and are part of a Loughborough University implementation team conducting work in Europe. We will hear in early 2023 if this bid. ## **Projects** 2022 has seen the completion of many projects. While an output like a storybook or a poster or a toolkit can seem quite a simple thing, every one of our publications takes a lengthy collaborative in-depth process and in the case of our work on _SuperBetter Children for Health_ has taken not months but years! We hope that the resulting resource will be both a practical guide and a tool to advocate for further work. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 7 ## **Immunisation Poster** It was great to add the topic of Immunisation to our series of posters. We used precious reserve funds as it’s such an important topic in this year where the Covid vaccination is being made available widely plus there’s the great news that there is at last a Malaria vaccine. As with all our posters it involved very many experts from around the world https://www.childrenforhealth.org/Immunisation Poster ## **Guam - A storybook on bullying and resilience** Together with educators, public health officials and children in Guam, we co-created a storybook about bullying and resilience. The process included training a facilitator who then conducted several online classes with children. The teacher with the children then sent the results of these sessions to us and we based our story on their ideas. The story, _Our True Colours_ can be downloaded here https://www.childrenforhealth.org/OurTrueColorsPrint Our storybook and toolkit on Type 2 Diabetes will be completed in the first quarter of 2023. This will combine a storybook based on the ideas and work of the children with simple fun activities. ## **Eswatini - A poster on HIV & AIDS Supported by the Mercury Phoenix Trust** Our work in Eswatini on HIV and AIDS I at last completed after many, many months of school closures and delays and we are delighted with the result. Here are photos of the children reviewing the messages and the teachers giving it the thumbs up. This one of many activities that helped guide the development of the materials. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 8 Download the poster on HIV here https://www.childrenforhealth.org/HIV&AIDSposter The storybook will be published in the first week of 2023 ## **Zambia - SuperBetter Children for Health supported by Astra Zeneca** **SuperBetter Children for Health** is a curriculum for young adolescents that can be integrated into a school’s curriculum or taught as an extracurricular activity. The curriculum has been co-created by Children for Health and Kelvin Nsekwila, a teacher, and the founder of the _Tusekwile Imiti Ikula Foundation (TIIF) in Zambia_ . TIIF provides educational services for the most vulnerable and marginalized children in the district. The content and activities have all been tested and revised with the children of the _SuperBetter Children’s Club_ , Sansamwenje, Isoka District, Zambia. The Toolkit was developed with the support of our allies at the SuperBetter company. The SuperBetter model was invented by Jane McGonigal, an American researcher and video game designer. Jane is author of the New York Times bestselling book, _SuperBetter, The Power of Living Gamefully_ . SuperBetter is available as a mobile & web app that has been played by over 1 million people around the world. SuperBetter and the SuperBetter logo are registered trademarks of SuperBetter, LLC, the company behind SuperBetter. Learn more at www.SuperBetter.com We have repurposed these amazing ideas for children as a curriculum that can be used in low resource settings and in mainstream schools or as part of an after-school activity. Throughout the toolkit, there are comments from teachers and children set out in pink boxes, like this one: The SuperBetter /Children for Health curriculum has played a vital role in the lives of children and youths in the Sansamwenje community of Isoka District in Zambia. The SuperBetter activities have helped shape the 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 9 children’s mental health and now they’re stronger, healthier, and more resilient. Children who piloted this model have grown to learn that they are the masters of their own thoughts, no situation can harm their feelings without their consent, and that they live in a world full of precious allies to turn to in bad times. ## **Inclusion Poster and Storybook sponsored by the Brian Murtagh Foundation** We assembled a large team of experts from around the world to help us construct the 10 messages below. The messages were checked by children in Zambia, and they also developed ideas on some themes for the storybook. We will continue to work with them going to and fro so we know the book reflects reality and has themes that all children can relate to. Our storybooks and posters are supposed to be tools where the children, their families and educators can use the messages, ideas and activities to inspire the development of local action. ## **Mozambique - PCAANS Toolkit supported by Astra Zeneca and the Coles Medlock Foundation** At last we have completed the PCAANS toolkit We have been so delighted to get back to the school in Changara, Tete Province where we had so much fun in February 2020 – the last time I made a field trip! PCAANS is the participatory approach to learning and action for nutrition and health. Our colleague, Bibiche Sangwa returned to the school and met with the children and teachers we met all those months ago and discussed how they have been coping during the pandemic and if they felt enthusiastic to revive the programme. Of course, they were! Then they helped us created this new Toolkit for 2022 which pulls together all the history and experience gained since I have been involved since 2011! And it looks to the future as both a practical guide for teachers and an advocacy tool for programme managers. ## **Download the PCAANS Toolkit here** https://www.childrenforhealth.org/NutritionToolkit https://www.childrenforhealth.org/NutritionToolkitPortuguese 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 10 ## Print on Demand – Two Volumes of our Storybooks Not quite there yet but 2023 will see the publication of two volumes of our storybooks for those who want to purchase printed version of the stories. We have a volunteer putting these together for us and managing the process. It will be interesting to understand the readership for this and we hope that sales could become a way to fund new storybook projects. ## **Others’ using our work** We know from the number of downloads we get each month and in so many countries, that our content is being used by people all over the world. But its always nice to get messages like the ones below that give us a flavour for specific projects where our work is being used. _We are planning a training session for children and found the attached materials interesting. (PCAAN poster and Rainbow Garden and Filthy the Fly) My email is to ask your permission to use these documents (edit and translate into French)._ ## **A media and communications officer for a large child focussed organisation in Niger** _We work in many minority languages on 6 continents and over 90 different countries. Among our many activities we promote literacy in the vernacular and have a library of books that can easily be translated and used. Many of your child health education posters contain excellent information that could be easily adapted to a book for our library and made available for translation into languages with limited access to health education._ ## **Paediatrician with over 35years experience working with an Institute of Linguistics and as a medical consultant.** _I saw the link to Superbetter Children for Health and also looked at other resources on the Children for Health website. What permissions would we need to translate and use the resources that are not yet in our main language (Bangla/Bengali)? Our initial purpose would be a screen display in our children’s outpatient and rehab waiting areas. I found the 100 messages resource – we would copy/paste these onto a powerpoint or similar software,_ ## **Head of Paediatrics, Bangladesh** 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 11 ## **In the Pipeline!** This already feels like a very long list of achievements but there is so much more happening behind the scenes. We have continued to grow partnerships with others with whom we expect to work next year on the topics of Water Sanitation and Hygiene, Climate Change, Early Childhood Development and Sexual Health. We are still working on our _Participatory Inquiry Process_ and _Rainbow Circle_ Methodology alongside Adolescent Behavioral expert, Sarah Newton. This is slow and difficult work and more so because of the lack of field work. We need to be doing field work to reflect on this very deep methodology. In 2023 we expect to be able to offer clear guidance on a framework that any health education partner could use to promote the participation of children and young adolescents in their programmes. Exciting stuff! We are of course not giving up on trying to raise the funds we need to create online training and we are starting in a modest way with a donation for this purpose and alongside our colleagues in Mexico. This year we have experimented with a very simple model for our Guam programme, and we are working to understand how to use the Learn Dash Programme as a platform for our work in Mexico. ## **Things that didn’t work out** As is our custom its good also for us to reflect on things that haven’t worked out! Last year we invested a LOT of time on big proposals that didn’t come though so this year we have been a lot more cautious and more successful but with the much smaller projects. For an organisation of our size what we need is a small but dedicated group of donors who understand us and champion our work. A couple of research bids we helped with have not come though including the post graduate research project based at the University of Loughborough on _Children as Agents of Change_ . We are still hoping to secure a partnership with a team of young entrepreneurs in Kenya who are focussed on mobile health and NCD’s. We had expected something to be funded in 2022. We think we have a lot to offer but the question is when do you gently take an idea or a partner off your plans and prospects lists? There has also been a marked decline in responses to our ongoing funding campaign and those that do respond are 90% ‘no’s’. This has been a bit disheartening. It may be unusual for an organisation to include a section like this. It is hardly trumpet blowing stuff. There still seems to be a diminishing pot of funding for charitable causes and together with this chronic underinvestment that characterises the mission of promoting health and preventing illness. Data from good sources suggest that 93-95% of health budgets are still spent on treatment and 3-5% on promoting health. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 12 ## **Plans for 2023** Here are the plans we have for 2023: 1. We continue our fundraising campaign underway to raise money for unrestricted funding. 2. We will continue for a few more months anyway to try to establish a _Non-Communicable Diseases_ Project with allies, Stowelink, Kenya which will enable us to work with this partner, to develop resources for children ahead 10-14 focusing on mobilizing children as agents of change. 3. We are fundraising for and hope to develop a poster and story book with on the vital topic of _Water, Sanitation and Hygiene_ with new partners in Kenya and we are currently in discussion with them and a prospective donor; 4. We will seek to expand our SuperBetter Children for Health Work in Zambia. 5. We hope to develop a storybook and poster for our series on Early Childhood Development. 6. We will complete a project with the University of Loughborough focusing on for topics and this will include new materials and two online training modules. 7. We will seek to expand our work on inclusive education with new partners. 8. We will complete the story book and toolkit on _Preventing Type 2 Diabetes_ to accompany the poster with the public health team and schools in Guam. 9. We expect to refine our messaging and presence on social media, using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and maybe TikTok to better effect in order to find more fans and users of our work. 10. We will spend more time than we did this year on publicising our work so that even more people find out about it and use it and we will be using our networks and social media to help us do this. We are also certain that other opportunities will come our way through those who find, download and use our materials read our blog and come across our work on social media. With many thanks for all your interest in and support to Children for Health! ## **Clare Hanbury, CEO, Children for Health** 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 13 ## **Financial Review** Our total income in the year decreased -18.6% to £35,803 versus £43,997 in the previous year. Donations and legacies decreased from £14,548 to £10,837 (-25.5%), and 2022 income from Grants decreased from £29,449 to £24,966 (-15.2%). Key grants received during the year were for - The SuperBetter Children initiative - The Guam GEDA Diabetes programme - The Online school - Inclusive education - A Climate Change programme; and - Cards for Health. On the expenditure side, charitable activities increased by +46.5% from £27,599 in 2021 to £40,423 in 2022. Consultancy and delivery costs increased due to higher payments to Clare Hanbury (via her company PEL) during the year: in 2022, PEL was paid £19,450 versus £14,225 in 2021. As mentioned in the Chairman’s report, Clare Hanbury continues to contribute a lot of time on a pro bono basis while we continue the search for more sustainable funding sources. Overall, net expenditure for the year was £4,620 meaning that our year-end balance on 31st December 2022 decreased to £16,114. This is around 40% of our annual operating expenditure (versus a minimum level set at 15%). 82.2% of our Net Assets are tied up in Restricted Funding for on-going programmes, but we still had a solid financial base going into 2023. ## 28th September 2023 The trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees on ……………… ## **Shelley Shoaib Le Breton Chairman of Trustees** 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 14 ## **Structure & Organisation in 2022** ## **BOARD OF TRUSTEES (at the time of submission)** Shelley Shoaib Le Breton...........

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. - Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES & UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS 16 ## **CHILDREN FOR HEALTH LTD** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILDREN FOR HEALTH LTD** I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Children for Health Ltd (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those 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 accounts 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 by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts 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.

The registered office is 32 Market Street, Swavesey, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB24 4QG, United Kingdom. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. ## **1.5 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 costs 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. - 20 - ## **CHILDREN FOR HEALTH LTD** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Plant and equipment 25% on cost Computers 25% on cost The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. ## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). ## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.9 Financial instruments** The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. - 21 - ## **CHILDREN FOR HEALTH LTD** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.10 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. - 22 - ## **CHILDREN FOR HEALTH LTD** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ ## **3 Donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**

It is worth noting that PEL also works on a pro-bono basis for Children for Health as and when the charity funding levels are insufficient to cover the full amounts which would otherwise be due to PEL. In 2022, the estimated amount of pro bono services provided was a minimum of £6,419 (2021 - £24,500). Not all pro bono time is formally logged. Included in other debtors is £12 (2021 - £12) owed by Clare Hanbury. This has been paid since the year end. - 28 -
