TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021

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 2021, the Charity -already registered in France- began 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 2021, Healing Venezuela delivered on its objectives with the following activities:

A. EXISTING PROJECTS

During 2021, the Charity continued, and consolidated, the following projects:

Donating more than 700 kgs of medical supplies purchased in Venezuela. This work also includes the logistical and transport arrangements for distributing these supplies to various centres within Venezuela. We provided COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to all the centres we work with and to the Junior Doctors sponsored by us.

-We continued supporting pregnancy planning and awareness programme, donating the funds for a campaign in low-income areas to our local partner, ALAPLAF.

HEALING VENEZUELA

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

A. EXISTING PROJECTS (continued)

Sponsoring 125-130 Junior Doctors in 8 state hospitals in Venezuela. To prevent the exodus of medical students from Venezuelan universities, we continue to give a small monthly grant to 130 junior doctors with the commitment that they will stay in the country for two years.
Feeding 103 children and 154 families at risk of malnutrition in low income areas.
We repaired and donated four critical medical equipment to state hospitals
We maintained water treatment plants installed in three hospitals

B. NEW PROJECTS

During 2021, 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 monitor the programmes.

We choose institutions with a proven track record to work with. A Co-operation 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 slightly less than the year before, as opportunities to run fundraising events continued to be severely curtailed.

We received six grants (2020: three) during this financial year. Out of the six, two are restricted grants for a total value of £4,000 (2020: £36,500) and the other four are unrestricted for a total value of £13,407 (2020: nil).

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021

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 complies 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 2021, Healing Venezuela raised £155,842 (2020: £162,734) through events, private donations, grants and corporate donations.

Figures below show funds raised per category:

Sports and social events, including sale of merchandise: £23,467 (2020: £5,292)
Corporate donations: £17,484 (2020: £672)
Individual donors: £97,042 (2020: £109,192)
Donations of supplies, equipment and services: £442 (2020: £11,078)
Grants: £17,407 (2020: £36,500)

Healing Venezuela has total funds of £237,364 (2020: £222,233).

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 money 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

TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021

Healing Venezuela is run entirely by volunteers. Services such as courier, accounting, monitoring and auditing are paid to contractors to ensure the transparency and feasibility of our operations.

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.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No Trustee received payment for professional or other services supplied to the Charity or received reimbursement of expenses from the Charity during the current period or prior year.

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by FRS 102 not to disclose any related party transactions with other wholly owned members of the Group.

During 2021, the Group purchased foodstuffs through Inversiones MGM 1995 CA (“MGM”) for one of its malnutrition programmes. MGM is a company based in Curacao which in turns buys supplies from two Venezuelan based suppliers. MGM and one of the Venezuelan suppliers are related parties as they are (partly) owned by one of the Charity’s Trustees, Gabriela Mendoza. The decision to transact with MGM was taken by the Trustees due to its access to reliable suppliers and their competitive pricing, and to streamline the purchases of foodstuffs by dealing with a single supplier. MGM makes no profits from these transactions - the aim is to

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2021

simplify the purchase of products in Venezuela. During 2021, the total paid to MGM for supplies received was £32,552.02 (2020: nil).

Pollyanna Services Member of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers

Healing Venezuela Charity Number : 1170709

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021.

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:

accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or
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.
