## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **OVERVIEW OF THE CHARITY**
Healing Venezuela (the Charity) is a volunteer-run organization with a Chairman and seven Trustees. No staff are employed to run the charity. Healing Venezuela also has over 30 volunteers. They perform a variety of functions participating in events, organising fundraisers and collecting medical supplies. We have an insurance policy in place to cover volunteers and participants during our activities.
In the UK, Healing Venezuela has a network of private and state health-related organisations such as GPs, surgeries, dental practices and hospitals that donate unused and disposable medical supplies.
We collaborate where appropriate with other charities and local NGOS.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
Healing Venezuela (registered number: 1170709) was incorporated in England on 12 December 2016 and does not have any other names. The registered office of the Charity and the names of the trustees who served during the period and who were trustees at the date of approval of the financial statements, are disclosed on page 2.
The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
New Trustees are appointed by other Trustees, depending on the needs of the Charity and the qualifications and experience of the potential Trustee.
During 2020, the Charity officially registered in France and is in the process of registering in Spain (primarily for fund-raising purposes). All governance will continue to be undertaken by the UK-based Board of Trustees.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
As stated in its governing document, Healing Venezuela’s object is: “ _to relieve sickness and to preserve the health of the patients of hospitals and other health-related institutions in Venezuela by:_
_a. providing or assisting in the provision of health-related supplies; and b. providing support in the improvement of mental health and enabling the exchange of medical expertise and advice to Venezuelan doctors and hospitals”_
In 2020, Healing Venezuela delivered on its objectives with the following activities:
## **A. EXISTING PROJECTS**
During 2020, the Charity continued, and consolidated, the following projects:
- Donating more than 800 kgs of medical supplies collected from the UK, France and Italy health services. This work also includes the logistical and transport arrangements for distributing these supplies to various centres within Venezuela. From March onwards, because of the pandemic, it was impossible to collect medical supplies from health centres in Europe and the charity started to buy supplies in country. We provided COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipement (PPE) to all the centres we work with and to the Junior Doctors sponsored by us.
- Supporting pregnancy planning and awareness, donating 310 t-coils plus supplies for inserting them to our local partner ALAPLAF

**HEALING VENEZUELA**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)**
## **A. EXISTING PROJECTS (continued)**
- Sponsoring 125 Junior Doctors in 5 state hospitals in Venezuela. To prevent the exodus of medical students from Venezuelan universities, we continue to give a small monthly grant to 125 students (increased from 100 in 2019) with the commitment that they will stay in the country for two years.
- Feeding 150 children at risk of malnutrition.
- Through an alliance with _The Art of Living_ we delivered Stress Management Programme to schools, hospitals and NGOs, training 1140 people. With the pandemic, face to face programmes were cancelled in the country so we moved online delivering meditation sessions four days a week until September.
- We sponsored an HIV research project (with local partner IVIC –Accion Solidaria) to identify mutations to the HIV virus resistant to drugs in Venezuela
- We repaired and donated four medical equipment to state hospitals
- We maintained water treatment plants installed in three 3 hospitals
## **B. NEW PROJECTS**
During 2020, no new projects were undertaken.
## **ASSURANCE**
The most significant risk is to ensure our supplies get to their destination and are used properly. We have established a network of health centres across different states in Venezuela working with doctors we trust who distribute the supplies to those who need them most. We also have four doctors on the ground who help us monitoring the programmes.
We choose institutions with a proven track record to work with. A Cooperation Agreement is signed by the parties by which institutions are obliged to report on their progress and give assurance the donations are used in the way stated in the request for funds submission. We also require pictures and acknowledgement of receipt of supplies.
Volunteers are an essential part of the organization and at Healing Venezuela we consider them our most valuable asset. They support us organising events, collecting supplies and running projects. We have guidelines that we share with those who wish to volunteer and provide assistance to those who want to stage events to raise funds for us.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Considering the pandemic, Healing Venezuela has had another successful year though the funds raised were less than the year before, as opportunities to run fundraising events were severely curtailed.
We received three grants, two from LATA for a total of £6,500 and one from GlaxoSmithKline plc, for £30,000.00

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The Trustees have considered the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. It is noted that a charitable organisation must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit and that there must be compliance with two principles.
The first principle is that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits.
The second principle requires that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets is in line with both principles.
This report already contains a summary of the objects of this charity, a summary of its main activities and a record of its achievements in relation to its objects.
The Trustees are aware that via section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 there is an obligation to require Trustees to report on the Charity’s public benefit. The above section is intended to meet that requirement. The Trustees are aware that when planning the Charity’s activities they must have regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They confirm that they have had such regard.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
In 2020, Healing Venezuela raised £162,734 (2019: £214,304) through events, private donations, grants and corporate donations.
Figures below show funds raised per category:
- Sports and social events, including sale of merchandise: £5,292
- Corporate donations: £672
- Individual donors: £109,192
- Donations of supplies, equipment and services £11,078
- Grants £36,500
Healing Venezuela has total funds of £222,233 (2019: £184,181).
The policy for holding reserves is stated in note 1 of the financial statements.
No funds are materially in deficit. Healing Venezuela did not borrow funds to finance its operations.
As stated in the Charity Commission Guidelines Chapter 4: Holding, moving and receiving funds safely - “ in the UK and internationally summary _Trustees must ensure that they exercise full supervisory control over their charity’s bank accounts. In practices this means the trustees of smaller charities will need to do it personally_ ” our trustees had full visibility of the charity’s moneys movements. On a monthly basis, our accounts are prepared by an independent accountant and thereafter they are reviewed by a volunteer chartered accountant and a trustee with extensive financial experience.
Healing Venezuela is run entirely by volunteers. Services such as courier, accounting, monitoring and auditing are paid to consultants to ensure the transparency and feasibility of our operations.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
The Trustees' report on pages 2 to 6 was approved by the Trustees on 9 February 2020 and signed on their behalf by:

The principal accounting policies are set out below, and have been consistently applied throughout the current period and prior year.
## **Functional and presentation currency**
The functional and presentation currency of the Charity is the sterling pound (£).
## **Going concern**
Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and its plans for the foreseeable future, the Trustees are satisfied that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements.
## **Income**
Income is recognised when donations are received or when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income arising from the Charity’s activities is recognised as performance obligations are satisfied.
Grant income is credited to the statement of financial activities evenly over the period to which they relate. Where grant income is received in advance of the activity it is shown as deferred grant income in creditors.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **Taxation**
The Company is a registered charity and has no liability to corporation tax on its charitable activities under the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (chapters 2 and 3 of part ii, section 466 onwards) or Section 256 of the Taxation for Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent surpluses are applied to its charitable purposes.
## **Fund accounting**
General funds (including designated funds) are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The Reserve fund represents a designated fund, and will be only accessed if there is a significant shortfall in cash.
Restricted funds are those where the use of donations, gifts, grants or legacies received is restricted to purposes specified by the donor. Such purposes are within the overall aims of the organisation.

**HEALING VENEZUELA**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **OVERVIEW OF THE CHARITY**
Healing Venezuela (the Charity) is a volunteer-run organization with a Chairman and seven Trustees. No staff are employed to run the charity. Healing Venezuela also has over 30 volunteers. They perform a variety of functions participating in events, organising fundraisers and collecting medical supplies. We have an insurance policy in place to cover volunteers and participants during our activities.
In the UK, Healing Venezuela has a network of private and state health-related organisations such as GPs, surgeries, dental practices and hospitals that donate unused and disposable medical supplies.
We collaborate where appropriate with other charities and local NGOS.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
Healing Venezuela (registered number: 1170709) was incorporated in England on 12 December 2016 and does not have any other names. The registered office of the Charity and the names of the trustees who served during the period and who were trustees at the date of approval of the financial statements, are disclosed on page 2.
The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
New Trustees are appointed by other Trustees, depending on the needs of the Charity and the qualifications and experience of the potential Trustee.
During 2020, the Charity officially registered in France and is in the process of registering in Spain (primarily for fund-raising purposes). All governance will continue to be undertaken by the UK-based Board of Trustees.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
As stated in its governing document, Healing Venezuela’s object is: “ _to relieve sickness and to preserve the health of the patients of hospitals and other health-related institutions in Venezuela by:_
_a. providing or assisting in the provision of health-related supplies; and b. providing support in the improvement of mental health and enabling the exchange of medical expertise and advice to Venezuelan doctors and hospitals”_
In 2020, Healing Venezuela delivered on its objectives with the following activities:
## **A. EXISTING PROJECTS**
During 2020, the Charity continued, and consolidated, the following projects:
- Donating more than 800 kgs of medical supplies collected from the UK, France and Italy health services. This work also includes the logistical and transport arrangements for distributing these supplies to various centres within Venezuela. From March onwards, because of the pandemic, it was impossible to collect medical supplies from health centres in Europe and the charity started to buy supplies in country. We provided COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipement (PPE) to all the centres we work with and to the Junior Doctors sponsored by us.
- Supporting pregnancy planning and awareness, donating 310 t-coils plus supplies for inserting them to our local partner ALAPLAF
_3_
**HEALING VENEZUELA**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)**
## **A. EXISTING PROJECTS (continued)**
- Sponsoring 125 Junior Doctors in 5 state hospitals in Venezuela. To prevent the exodus of medical students from Venezuelan universities, we continue to give a small monthly grant to 125 students (increased from 100 in 2019) with the commitment that they will stay in the country for two years.
- Feeding 150 children at risk of malnutrition.
- Through an alliance with _The Art of Living_ we delivered Stress Management Programme to schools, hospitals and NGOs, training 1140 people. With the pandemic, face to face programmes were cancelled in the country so we moved online delivering meditation sessions four days a week until September.
- We sponsored an HIV research project (with local partner IVIC –Accion Solidaria) to identify mutations to the HIV virus resistant to drugs in Venezuela
- We repaired and donated four medical equipment to state hospitals
- We maintained water treatment plants installed in three 3 hospitals
## **B. NEW PROJECTS**
During 2020, no new projects were undertaken.
## **ASSURANCE**
The most significant risk is to ensure our supplies get to their destination and are used properly. We have established a network of health centres across different states in Venezuela working with doctors we trust who distribute the supplies to those who need them most. We also have four doctors on the ground who help us monitoring the programmes.
We choose institutions with a proven track record to work with. A Cooperation Agreement is signed by the parties by which institutions are obliged to report on their progress and give assurance the donations are used in the way stated in the request for funds submission. We also require pictures and acknowledgement of receipt of supplies.
Volunteers are an essential part of the organization and at Healing Venezuela we consider them our most valuable asset. They support us organising events, collecting supplies and running projects. We have guidelines that we share with those who wish to volunteer and provide assistance to those who want to stage events to raise funds for us.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
Considering the pandemic, Healing Venezuela has had another successful year though the funds raised were less than the year before, as opportunities to run fundraising events were severely curtailed.
We received three grants, two from LATA for a total of £6,500 and one from GlaxoSmithKline plc, for £30,000.00

**HEALING VENEZUELA**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The Trustees have considered the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission. It is noted that a charitable organisation must be able to demonstrate that its aims are for the public benefit and that there must be compliance with two principles.
The first principle is that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits.
The second principle requires that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets is in line with both principles.
This report already contains a summary of the objects of this charity, a summary of its main activities and a record of its achievements in relation to its objects.
The Trustees are aware that via section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 there is an obligation to require Trustees to report on the Charity’s public benefit. The above section is intended to meet that requirement. The Trustees are aware that when planning the Charity’s activities they must have regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They confirm that they have had such regard.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
In 2020, Healing Venezuela raised £162,734 (2019: £214,304) through events, private donations, grants and corporate donations.
Figures below show funds raised per category:
- Sports and social events, including sale of merchandise: £5,292
- Corporate donations: £672
- Individual donors: £109,192
- Donations of supplies, equipment and services £11,078
- Grants £36,500
Healing Venezuela has total funds of £222,233 (2019: £184,181).
The policy for holding reserves is stated in note 1 of the financial statements.
No funds are materially in deficit. Healing Venezuela did not borrow funds to finance its operations.
As stated in the Charity Commission Guidelines Chapter 4: Holding, moving and receiving funds safely - “ in the UK and internationally summary _Trustees must ensure that they exercise full supervisory control over their charity’s bank accounts. In practices this means the trustees of smaller charities will need to do it personally_ ” our trustees had full visibility of the charity’s moneys movements. On a monthly basis, our accounts are prepared by an independent accountant and thereafter they are reviewed by a volunteer chartered accountant and a trustee with extensive financial experience.
Healing Venezuela is run entirely by volunteers. Services such as courier, accounting, monitoring and auditing are paid to consultants to ensure the transparency and feasibility of our operations.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2020**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
The Trustees' report on pages 2 to 6 was approved by the Trustees on 9 February 2020 and signed on their behalf by:

The principal accounting policies are set out below, and have been consistently applied throughout the current period and prior year.
## **Functional and presentation currency**
The functional and presentation currency of the Charity is the sterling pound (£).
## **Going concern**
Having assessed the Charity’s financial position and its plans for the foreseeable future, the Trustees are satisfied that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements.
## **Income**
Income is recognised when donations are received or when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income arising from the Charity’s activities is recognised as performance obligations are satisfied.
Grant income is credited to the statement of financial activities evenly over the period to which they relate. Where grant income is received in advance of the activity it is shown as deferred grant income in creditors.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **Taxation**
The Company is a registered charity and has no liability to corporation tax on its charitable activities under the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (chapters 2 and 3 of part ii, section 466 onwards) or Section 256 of the Taxation for Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent surpluses are applied to its charitable purposes.
## **Fund accounting**
General funds (including designated funds) are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The Reserve fund represents a designated fund, and will be only accessed if there is a significant shortfall in cash.

## **Healing Venezuela Charity Number : 1170709**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
