objects of the
charity set out in
its governing
document|The objects of the charity are to promote:
- The relief of poverty;
- Education and training amongst vulnerable young people in
Africa.| |Summary of the
main activities
undertaken for
the
public benefit in
relation to these
objects|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 primarily by providing financial and
other support to the South Sudanese charity Confident Children
Out Of Conflict (CCC) and to the charity Confident Children
Uganda which supports former South Sudanese street children
who have taken refuge in Uganda.
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 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/or displaced by internal
conflict in the country. CCC also used to fund the education of
several hundred other children throughout the world’s newest,
but poorest country, particularly from Juba’s slums like Juba
cemetery. A number of South Sudanese children who were
previously supported by CCC in Juba have been supported in
boarding school in Uganda by Confident Children Uganda since
2014/15. The first few of these children are now graduating from
secondary school.
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 that 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 seventh
Annual Report to the Charity Commission.
At the close of the previous reporting period (i.e. 31st December
2023) CCC UK’s cash funds stood at £ £12,393. CCC UK’s
donations during the CCC UK Annual Return 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 (2024)
CCC UK had received £8,296 in voluntary receipts via
donations and fundraising. 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 any generous one-off
donations.
Given various prominent crises around the world, fundraising for
this cause is becoming increasingly difficult in the UK,
particularly as a small charity, but CCC UK is keen to work to
support continued education for at least some of the most
vulnerable South Sudanese children, especially those girls we
know personally and have supported since CCC UK’s
foundation.| ||In previous reporting period the CCC UK Board had decided
continuing support to those South Sudanese refugee children
who are at the moment being supported by Confident Children
Uganda. Many of these were previously supported from a
young age when they lived in Juba, South Sudan.
CCC UK’s Chair of Trustees was resident in Kampala, Uganda
for part of this year, which was especially helpful for
communication between trustees and the management of
Confident Children Uganda. We also received school reports,
photos and updates on the progress the children are making at
school and those who have graduated.
We gave a commitment to continue to fund the Support Worker
for Confident Children Uganda and to continue to fund the
education of the girls CCC UK has been supporting. In addition,
through its contingency CCC UK was able to provide bridge
funding to support other young children who needed support.
The commitment was $7,600.
The Support Worker has supported the girls for around 11 years
now, both in South Sudan and now in Uganda. She cares for
the children during the holidays in the charity’s house in
Kampala and supports them with the co-ordination of their
education during term time, as well as cares for them pastorally
throughout the year. The funds for the girls cover their school
fees, school materials, toiletries, medical costs and a
contribution to costs of living in the main Confident Children
Uganda house during holidays.| |---|---| |Achievements
continued.|At the close of the reporting period CCC UK had a balance of
£20, 464 and the charity’s trustees were in consultation
Confident Children Uganda on support for 2025.| |Policy on
reserves|The Trustees felt there was no need for a policy on reserves
while the charity has no staff. This view is periodically reviewed.| ||**Unrestricted**
