TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT
The trustees, who are also Directors for the of the purposes Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ending February 2021.
MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the first annual report of the KnownValuedLoved. We are always so humbled when people take the time to find out more about what we are doing and look at ways to support our work. When we started this journey over a year ago we had no idea what to expect, We certainly didn’t anticipate the challenges of launching an international charity in the middle of a global pandemic. This first year however, has taught us so much. We have seen the passion, dedication and sheer determination of so many teachers and school leaders worldwide, working tirelessly to ensure that children in their communities receive the education that they deserve, it has been an absolute privilege to build relationships with all our partners worldwide and play a part in their work.
All our work is made possible by the incredible support we receive from businesses, schools, churches and individuals and we are so grateful to everyone who has followed our journey and supported us practically, financially or emotionally.
I really hope you enjoy reading this report, I hope it informs you, inspires you and encourages you – that you are part of the solution and helping children get that education that will give them the chance of a better future.
OUR PURPOSES & ACTIVITIES
Education Development Programme
We support education providers (schools, NGOs, informal education settings) by working with and supporting school leaders and teachers. Our Education Development Programme is the core element of what we do as a charity. The model focuses on sustainable school improvement, by working alongside senior leaders from schools, education providers and local NGO’s.
Grant Giving Partnership
Our grant programme exists to support education providers (local NGO’s, schools etc) to improve the access to education in their community, the quality of education available, or both.
This is partly achieved by the provision of grants (or where a direct financial transaction is not possible, the provision of resources). All grants will be applied for by the education provider and will need to demonstrate how the funds or resources aim to improve, access to, or quality of the education available to members of their community.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY
Our OBJECTIVE is to advance education primarily in communities impacted by conflict anywhere in the world by improving both equality of access and the quality of provision for children and young people.
MISSION, VALUES, VISION
Our MISSION
We believe education is the key to seeing lives rebuilt and communities impacted by conflict restored. We develop, support and inform education provision where it’s needed most to give young people the chance of a better future.
Our VALUES
We are empowering: Our aim is to develop projects that have a lasting impact by working alongside local communities, empowering and equipping them to provide access to relevant, high-quality education for all.
We are independent: Education is a basic human right. We remain independent of political, cultural and religious views, advocating for people regardless of their background and beliefs.
We work with integrity: We truly believe in what we stand for. We want to make sure people are Known within their community and that their needs are seen and understood; that they know that they are Valued and that their lives have purpose; and that they are shown compassion and Loved.
Our VISION
For everyone to have access to relevant, high-quality education as a basic human right.
For young people to have aspirations and equal opportunities and for communities to flourish. Vision
STRATEGY & ACTIVITIES
The purpose for the first financial year was about building up a funding pot for the Grant Giving Partnership, so that the projects who applied throughout this year could receive the funding that they deserved. Therefore, any applications for the Grant Giving Partnership from Year 1, will receive their funding in the first quarter of Year 2. This is to ensure that all funds are available for any grants agreed and there is no risk of not being able to fully support a project should our financial situation change. The grant fund at the end of the financial year stands at £3,961. As agreed by the trustee’s meetings this is made up of 30% income from the financial year 2020/21.
Within Year 1, the foundations have been set in place, ensuring that KnownValuedLoved becomes a sustainable charity. Setting up all, processes and procedures have been vital, so that the charity is ready to grow in the upcoming years.
We have decided that not all work will be solely around fundraising and grants, and that growing the charity is just as important. Therefore, we did a Christmas Appeal where we decided to ‘Share the Love’. Rather than asking for a donation we asked that people instead, share information about KnownValuedLoved, and we also used this as an opportunity to say thank you to some charities that have been supportive of us and encouraged us during our first year, sharing details of their causes and charities.
