Principal objectives

The main objective of Precious Sight Foundation is the promotion and facilitation of good health in Africa as determined by the Trustees.

This objective is actualized in specifics through:

The provision of free eye care services treatment, equipment, and advice to visually impaired and partially sighted individuals in collaboration with professional eye care specialists.
Raising awareness of basic eye care and eye health to prevent visual impairment or blindness due to a lack of basic information.

Public Benefit Statement

We develop our strategic plans to ensure that we provide public benefit and achieve our objectives as set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning activities and setting policies for the year ahead.

2020 STRATEGIC REVIEW AND BRIEF FOR 2020

2020 was an eventful year despite the heavy COVID restrictions which curtailed our plans and reach.

Over 1500 glasses were given out with over 6000 patients seen and 468 referrals made. 100 operations were performed in Bansang (in the Gambia)

There were 4 outreach locations with Bansang being the biggest in terms of turnout.

The COVID RELIEF RESPONSE Program was also undertaken with one off food packages sent to Bansang (in the Gambia) and Nigeria

2021 STRATEGIC BRIEF

NIGERIA – we have currently scaled down all work until further notice due to COVID19
THE GAMBIA – we continue with the monthly outreach in Bansang and potentially quarterly or bi-annual events in Banjul
SIERRIA LEONE – we continue our monthly Makeni Outreach
SENEGAL – we have received confirmation from the Director of Health giving us the go ahead and we hope to have at least 2 outreaches this year
SOUTH AFRICA/KENYA/ZIMBABWE – we are currently working with the House of Wells to provide screening to their displaced children. They cater for approximately 2,500 children in their centers

STRATEGIC FOCUS (No Change)

Our key areas of work this year will be

Increasing worldwide funding base by increasing individual and corporate donations.
Increased collaborations by increasing awareness of how individuals and companies can fulfill their social responsibility by partnering with PSF to impact many
Increased Outreaches and Advocacy
Seeking New Locations (Countries and New Regions in current locations)

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT

PARTNER DONATIONS

Charities such as PSF are run in the main on the benevolence of Individual & Partner organizations that commit regular monthly donations. At present these are the funds we can plan with and at circa £2,000 a month it is imperative that the donation base is widened to generate greater impact

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

All reports to date are currently available on the Charity Commission’s Website.

Trustees Report (cont...)

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The Trustees recognize that reserves are required to ensure the long-term viability of the charitable company against unforeseen reduction in income or increase in expenditure and to ensure the continuity of the charity's objects.

The trustees aim to maintain unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use at a level equivalent to the average cost of two mission trips. 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.

Principal Funding

The charity's principal funding is through donations.

Future developments

The charity aims to increase the number of activities it is engaged in going forward and is striving to develop a structure that will support this planned growth.

Policies Adopted for the Induction and Training of Trustees

New trustees are issued with an induction pack that details their legal obligations under charity law, the charity's decision-making processes and recent financial performance of the charity.

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Organizational Structure and Decision Making

The charity is organized such that the day to day running of the charity has been delegated to the founder (Mrs. Olabiyi Adewumi) and a voluntary operational team.

The trustees are consulted on all issues that are material in nature and determine the strategic direction of the charity's affairs. Trustees meet formally and when required to review the charity's operations.

Connected Charities

Precious Sight Charitable Foundation is set up as a Non-Government Organization in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Risk Management

The Trustees continue to be aware of their responsibilities regarding risk management and meet regularly to profile risks, examining controls already in place and embedding new controls to mitigate significant risks.

Risk Management is a key element to making the charity successful in delivering its objectives whilst protecting the interests of our beneficiaries. Good risk management allows our beneficiaries to have increased confidence in the charity’s corporate governance, and our ability to deliver the strategic objectives.

A range of business risk assessments and performance indicators, looking at both financial and non- financial measures that act as a barometer to the overall health of the charity, are reviewed regularly by the Executive Team and the Trustees. The Risk Management Strategy is led from the top of the organization and is embedded in the normal working routines and activities of the organization.

Trustees’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the situation of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

Report of the Trustees and Unaudited Financial Statements for the year Ended 31 December 2020

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

I report on the accounts of Precious Sight Foundation for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 set out on pages 7 to 10. My report is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

The report is made solely to the Board of Trustees.

My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters as may be required to be stated in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Board of Trustees of Precious Sight Foundation, for my examination, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Regulations, that Section 144(2) of the Act does not apply and that an independent examination is required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity (Precious Sight Foundation ) is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 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 specific 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 under the 2011 Act.

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. I planned and performed my examination to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalizing the report I obtained assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

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 130 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of relevant sections of the 2011 Act 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
