The financial statements have been prepared in accordance to the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011 which gives a true and fair view of the charity’s incoming resources and application of resources during the financial year.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (CONTINUED)
-
Every child-regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, culture and other background is equally important to the charity, and our aim is to help and preserve children’s long-term health and welfare.
-
Every child is the backbone of a nation and we would always ensure that they are treated and supported with upmost care and sincerity.
-
We act in ways that respect the dignity, uniqueness and intrinsic worth of every child.
-
We celebrate the richness of every child being disease free in every aspect of their lives while growing up.
Approach and Activities:
This financial year we have provided grants to the primary schools for the breakfast meals through Kids breakfast club for children affected by poverty in the most deprived parts of the UK.
Charity’s operations were affected during Covid and no cash fund raising was carried out throughout the year. Charity mainly relied on the donations from trustees’ personal connections (friends and family).
There are no volunteer costs this year as no fund raising was done.
For this financial year we continued our Breakfast Club project as the charity was completely focused on the schools in the United Kingdom with free school meals to support the breakfast club. However, we are searching for more opportunities that will make the difference to this community and provide more help to the children in the future.
We proudly show what the charity has spent on the Breakfast club to the primary schools within the financial statements. We have supported two primary schools this year. These schools are not only located local to the East London area, but are also in remote areas where the requirement of the support is high.
Policies:
Funding Sources
The Charity is financially supported by donations from members of the public and the volunteers and fundraisers who work tirelessly toward the welfare of the children that are in need. However, this year, volunteers could not be employed because of covid implications.

Volunteer Contribution:
There are no volunteer contributions this year as no public fund raising was done. Charity mainly relied on the donations from trustees’ personal connections (friends and family).
Achievements of the Charity for the Year
We have suffered in Covid circumstances and have not been able to perform to the best of our capabilities. However, we have completed planned projects within deadlines and have continued with ongoing projects.
We have successfully supported the Breakfast club where children receive a healthy breakfast, play games, socialize and complete other educational activities before the school day starts. The teachers of the children have reported that the children are more responsive in the class.
Our supporting of schools for the breakfast club ensured that the breakfast club is accessible to as many children as possible, and that financial barriers do not stand in the way of attendance.
Our financial support has enabled the schools to continue to run the breakfast club that was running at significant loss and deficit budget.
Our support has made a difference to the children lives and will continue to support them in the future.
In the previous year we have said that the charity would completely focus on the schools in the United Kingdom to support the breakfast club and we are privileged to announce that we have supported 2 public primary schools for the breakfast club in this year.
Ongoing projects:
- Kids Breakfast Club (UK)
Future Plan and Projects:
The Charity is making contributions towards Breakfast club in deprived areas where free school meal eligibility is around 40% and above for the children to provide healthy breakfast before classes. In future, the Charity aims to cover as many schools as possible in the UK. The Charity expects to grow consistently in upcoming years and expand to accomplish the objectives it sets out.
ENLIGHTEN THE CHILDREN
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (CONTINUED)
The Charity has been outlining a strategy to control Governance Costs and increase Cost of Charitable Activities by creating value for money to the children of the United Kingdom so the Charity is investing on making the process more effective, efficient and economical by cutting non value adding costs, regular meetings and through employing efficient candidates.
The Charity will be contributing to work for the charity goals and values and will continue to provide value to beneficiaries in need, while endeavoring to create more value for the beneficiaries of the charity.
Trustees’ Responsibilities:
Law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records. 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.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to,
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its activities.

Financial Review and reserves Policy
Enlighten the Children has unregistered funds of £2,950.29 as at 30 June 2021, collected from donations from members of the public. The cost of generating funds was £21,929.93, the cost of charitable activities was £55,618.19 and governance costs are £43,859.87 (included in fundraising and charitable activities costs). The total loss of £206.06 has been made in this financial year. The charity has spent higher amounts on the charitable activities for the welfare of the beneficiaries.
Donations from members of the public have been inconsistent with previous years. This is because, charity was unable to go on with its regular operations smoothly in covid times and thus, less funds were raised in comparison to previous years.
The charity has a reserves policy which is to ensure there are adequate unrestricted reserves to cover short term charitable costs. There is an annual review of the reserves policy. The reserves at the year-end of £2,950.29 are relatively low, the trustees plan to work to increase reserve levels going forward.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Enlighten The Children
I report on the accounts of the Enlighten The Children for the period ended 30 June 2021 which is set out on pages 1 and 2.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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 accounts to be reached.
