The funds raised have also been utilised to support running costs, governance and fundraising activities/events.

o The relief of financial need and suffering among victims of natural or other kinds of disaster in the form of money (or other means deemed suitable) for persons, bodies, organisations and/or countries affected. o To help young people; especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities, so as to develop their capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and as members of society. K.U.K Alliance works in collaboration with NdaiZiva Capacity Development to identify and support orphaned children with school fees, school supplies and school uniforms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, K.U.K Alliance has also provided food hampers for the orphans. The funds for this initiative are raised via our Sponsor a Child Program which involves sponsors making regular donations to contribute towards the program. K.U.K Alliance has taken on the initiative to support young girls and women with the challenges they face during menstruation by raising awareness and searching for Summary of the main activities sustainable alternatives. The project has focused on conducting research to identify the undertaken for the public benefit in preferred and the sustainable sanitary wear available to girls and women.

Section D Achievements and performance

The children attend Summary of the main achievements schools in Norton Zimbabwe: of the charity during the year o Primary Schools (St Eric, Norton, Chiedza and Norton 2) o High Schools (St Eric High, Vimbai High, Saruwe, Nyagori, Chitenderano) The lives of the children have been positively impacted by the access to essential education which we hope will help alleviate the poverty cycle.

K.U.K Alliance purchased and provided sanitary packs of sanitary wear for sponsored girls aged 10 years and above. The packs were expertly put together by Faith Foundation, an organisation whose focus is on addressing period poverty and ensuring that girls can continue to thrive during their menstrual period.

The reusable pads are designed to last for more than two years with proper care, therefore a more sustainable solution. We hope to be able to expand the programme

Section D Achievements and performance

to include education sessions on other topics which cover reproductive and sexual health in the near future.

The ongoing effects of the pandemic reduced the number of large events K.U.K Alliance could host. The fundraising activities/events in the 2021 to 2022 financial included:

a. ASICS 10k run

b. Goodwood Marathon c. Trustee fundraising through cleaning services

In the current financial year (2021 to 2022), income increased by 27% in comparison to the previous year.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

• K.U.K Alliance aims to retain reserves equal to 12 months expenditure on administration costs which is equivalent to circa £400.

Details of any funds materially in deficit

None

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

• the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

• how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;

• investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

K.U.K Alliance has the following funding types:

• Individuals fundraising on our behalf e.g. marathons

• Individual donations

• Funding from organisations

• Funds raised from events

Majority (99%) of our funds were raised from donations and the remainder from Other Trading Activities (1%). Income increased significantly by 27% on a year-on-year basis, a further increase from 23% in the prior year. Expenditure decreased by 1% on a year-onyear basis with most of the expenditure being allocated to projects. The Sponsor A Child programme’s expenditure was lower due to Term 2 and Term 3 Fees which were prorated as children were unable to attend school due to pandemic lockdowns in Zimbabwe. We don’t expect this trend to continue in the coming year and we project an increase in expenditure for this project.

Our income growth exceeded expenditure growth; this is mainly attributable to an increase in corporate sponsorships which accounted for 14% of revenue. In addition, we received large donations from new individual donors. Despite challenges with fundraising, we increased donor engagement and acquired more regular donors.

These activities are directly contributing to our aims to advance education, health and empowerment in Zimbabwe. The expenditure in the U.K. related to governance, administration and other running costs remained stable throughout the year and we anticipate a reduction in the following year due to potential discounts.

K.U.K Alliance does not have any investments.

K.U.K Alliance does not have any loans.

With guidance from the Charities Commission, K.U.K Alliance is now adopting and preparing the accounts using the Receipts and Payments accounts instead of using Accruals accounts since the 2019-2020 year. The organisation’s income remains below the threshold for accruals accounts reporting.
