The principal activity of Confident Children Out of Conflict UK (CCC UK) is the funding of the education of street children of South Sudan. We do this principally by providing financial and other support to the South Sudanese charity Confident Children Out Of Conflict (CCC). Our vision is to enable vulnerable children to thrive so that they can develop into competent young adults and reach their full potential. CCC has a centre in the South Sudanese capital Juba where it houses over 80 vulnerable young children from 18 months to 17 years old. These are mainly girls who have in the past been affected by poverty, gender-based violence and many displaced by internal conflict in the country. CCC also funds the education of around 800 other children throughout the world’s newest, but poorest country. Around 40 South Sudanese children who were previously supported by CCC in Juba are now being supported in Boarding School by Confident Children Uganda. In addition to funding CCC, we occasionally fund organisations that support the education and training of vulnerable young people in South Sudan. At present our support is limited to South Sudanese children. We only fund organisations which are known to the trustees. We do not accept unsolicited requests for funding. All trustees have read the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have had regard for this guidance in all decision making. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
The trustees of CCC UK are pleased to present this fifth Annual Report to the Charity Commission. At the close of the previous reporting period (i.e. 31stDecember 2019) CCC UK’s cash funds stood at £21,341. CCC UK’s donations during the reporting period have come principally from individual donors and fundraising campaigns, but also donations from faith groups and a charitable foundation. By the end of the reporting period CCC UK was receiving £502.50 per month in regular monthly giving. The CCC UK Trustees would like to express our gratitude to our supporters for their ongoing partnership in this critical work. CCC UK is also very grateful for generous one-off donations (including three large anonymous donations). The Board of CCC UK was also encouraged to hear that other partners were supporting the work of Confident Children out of Conflict in South Sudan in 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the extremely volatile situation in South Sudan meant that Confident Children Out Of Conflict (CCC) in Juba faced very challenging circumstances. Schools in South Sudan closed in mid-March due to the pandemic and the education programmes CCC UK supports were suspended, as children were unable to attend school. CCC UK was asked to hold the funding until schools reopened. The 800 children whose education CCC UK supports in Juba were in their communities or about 100 of them at the CCC centre. CCC managed to organise four private teachers who came to teach at the compound, an increased challenge with social distancing requirements. Schools temporarily re-opened for children in candidate classes in October 2020. Meanwhile schools in Uganda also closed in March 2020 and at the end of this reporting period were still closed. The 40+ children who are at boarding school in Uganda were returned to the house where they usually only spend their holidays, with extensive study packs. CCC UK was able to send COVID emergency support to Uganda and South Sudan of £12,255. This includes a donation of £3,000 from Sherborne Parish to enable CCC in Juba to build a dormitory on their new compound. No travel to South Sudan or Uganda was possible during 2020 because of travel restrictions and lockdowns due to the pandemic. At the close of the reporting period CCC UK had a balance of £42,232 and the charity’s trustees were in consultation with CCC in South Sudan and CCC Uganda on funding for 2021. |
