| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | 1.We were able to provide regular sponsorship for 134 children by the year end, an increase of 16 during the year, ensuring that all children received an education, food, clothing and medical and dental care and treatment. We were also able to provide Christmas presents for all sponsored children and a meal for the whole family. 2.We provided computer tablets, tables and chairs to our Sponsor children to enable home study, particularly important because they were unable to go to school due to the Covid lockdown. 3.We provided additional food to the children and their families because of the loss of earnings due to Covid. 4.We provided funds for materials to assist several of our Sponsored children’s families to rebuild their homes destroyed by flooding. The children would not have had the benefit of these things without our activity and provision. |

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s 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 I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
