RECRUITMENT OF ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES IN ORDER TO HELP IN MANAGING THE CHARITY AND SUPPORTING ITS OBJECTS 3 Kidz & Sibz Trustees Report for the year ended 31 Mar 2023 6. Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, Kidz & Sibz delivered its services online. Due to the reduced number of volunteers as a result of the Pandemic, we had to reduce our activities and focus on repurposing our objectives and prepare a project plan to deliver online sessions to our youth and help them cope with psychological results of the Pandemic. ## **Achievements & Performance** ## **Statutory Declaration** The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the commission in exercising their powers or duties. ## **Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity for the Year** - 1- The pandemic has tremendously affected our scope of work in every respect. - 2- During this year we were focusing on understanding the community needs, especially the psychological impact of the Pandemic on the audience we serve and how Kidz & Sibz should address those needs. We went into a deep dive assessment which resulted in us appreciating that the enhancements introduced last year, may not address the news needs of the community. Therefore, the need for a further enhancement to equip trustees and potential volunteers with the skills to conduct our services to the community online. Together with some potential restructuring in order to improve operational efficiency and be able to fundraise or obtain further grants to support our charitable object. - 3- Due to family circumstances some of the trustees were unable to dedicate time and efforts, therefore the need for recruiting new volunteers and trustees alike. The charity was not operating during this period and we are reviewing the community needs in order to better position the charity to serve. - 4- We have identified additional needs in the community, and an assessment is undergoing to explore whether it is feasible to include additional related services, especially for those children affected by post pandemic. ## **Financial Review** ## **Brief Statement of the Charity's Policy on Reserves** The charity does not have a reserves' policy at this initial stage, however, the trustees realise the importance of having reserves and will put a reserves policy as soon as possible. The trustees have been very aware of the charity's finances and have initially obtained a grant from St. Neots Town Council to assist with setup of the charity. The charity did not apply for further grants or did not organise fundraising campaigns due to the fact that we were in the process of assessing the community needs as mentioned in item 1 above. ## **Further Financial Review Details** The setup grant of £2,500 from the St. Neots Town Council was the principal source of funds for cash flow purposes until the charity obtains additional grants or generates funds by fundraising activities. During this period, no income was generated due to the reorganisation activity. 4 Kidz & Sibz Trustees Report for the year ended 31 Mar 2023 **Statutory Notes to the Accounts** ## **Particulars of Any Outstanding Guarantee Given by the CIO** No outstanding guarantees were given by the CIO ## **Particulars of Any Outstanding Debt** No outstanding debts secured by charge on any asset ## **Other Optional Information** ln addition to the trustees, a number of volunteers have assisted with the activities of this charity, and the trustees thank those volunteers. ## **Declaration** ## **The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees' Report above.** Signed on behalf of the Charity's Trustees **Signature(s): Full Name(s):** George Yazigi **Position(s):** Treasurer **Date:** 29/12/2023 ## **Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts** As per the Charity Commission guidance, due to the income range of this charity, no examiner report is required for this year. 5 Kidz & Sibz Trustees Report for the year ended 31 Mar 2023 **----- Start of picture text -----**
