Chair's Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
If we thought 2021 was demandingwith the challenge of Covid, the year of 2022 was, arguably, a notch above that. In a year that saw humanitariancrises deepen, the effects of climate change being felt across the globe with floods, drought and extreme heat, rampant inflation, energy supplies compromised and, finally War in Ukraine, everyone it seems faced challenge and upheaval in their daily lives.
Our GNUK team, which is not the largest in terms of human resources, rose to address some of those challenges through organising fundraisingevents in York to being involved on the ground in Ukraine supporting Ukranian refugees. We raised the issue of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) , girls' education and women's rights through our online campaigning. The public were very generous in their support and through our campaigningwe have gained an incredible group of Volunteers who will provide help and inspiration as we continue to build good relationships with the residents, other organizations and institutions both in York and nationally.
Our work in Ukraine was, by far, the most demanding that we needed to urgently respond to. Working with our GN partners from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, USA, and Switzerland we helped organise food and emergency supplies to people within Ukraine and to people fleeing the country. Establishinga base in Sucaeva in the north and Galati in the south of Romania, we partnered with UNICEF to provide psychosocial support kits for children caught up in this tragedy. To date, we have delivered 12,600 of these kits to children and, working with UK Psychotherapists, have delivered training to around 60 professionals and 40 volunteers in Romania to enable them to use techniques and apply the right kind of understandingto help children try to make sense of what is happeningand to build their psychological resilience to allow them to continue and develop as children within this highly unstable environment.
I am so proud of our UK team and of our colleagues across the world. The development of our Psychosocial Support programme has been developed over many years and it is something that can be used to help any child, and their parents, who are caught up in disasters such as earthquakes, flooding, war and famine. We do what we say and put children and their mothers at the heart of any programme that we deliver.
Our work will continue in Romania as this country's geographical proximity to Ukraine has meant that it is one of the safest countries for people who have no choice other than to leave their own home to cross the Border to reach safety. Our Good Neighbors Global Organisation,has now developed a new Field Countrybase in Romania and we shall support that team for months to come as they and all the NGO's working there, determine priorities going forward.
Closer to home, we continue to apply for funding to enable us to deliver our communityprojects around the world. Like many others in the international development world, we know that we are all chasing a smaller 'pot' of resources made available for this kind of work as Governments across the globe grapple with the issues I have outlined above. We remain determined and focused and learn from every bid that was not successful. We have shown that we are a resilient team, adapting and developing our approach against a very uncertain backdrop.
We are working closely with local organisations that provide support for Asylum seekers and Refugees in our locality and know that only by working as a team both in-house and externally, will we be able to provide solutions that can help people in such distressing circumstances. Each tiny step we take can make a difference and it is for us to continue the journey however difficult the challenge.
As I said at the end of 2021, and which I reiterate at the end of 2022, I am optimistic; we can play our part in creating a better, more compassionate world.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statementsof the charityfor the year ended 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the charity is to prevent or relieve poverty by way of, but not limited to, providing education and sustainable development initiatives for the benefit and protection of children and their families in charitable need by fundraising and managing projects locally, nationally and internationally.
Our focus continues to be community development. We work in communities, with communities and for communities. We establish local needs through dialogue and assessment, working with local partners, local governments, and community representatives. Our goals are then to create sustainable solutions for the whole community in an inclusive way without discrimination including race, religion, gender, or disability.
Our projects are focused on delivering against the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These include poverty reduction; zero hunger such as food security; good health and wellbeing; quality education; gender equality; clean water and sanitation; and climate action.
Disasters and war cut across all of these areas by removing the basics of life for millions of people resulting in urgent need for food, shelter, warmth, medicine and psychological support.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities International
Ukraine
Good Neighbors UK in Partnership with UNICEF Romania has been providing support to Ukrainian refugees in Romania since the start of the war. We have delivered 12,969 Psychosocial first aids kits to children and families and conducted 1,716 support activities. Working locally in communities we have trained 55 individuals to support Ukrainianfamilies alongside training35 psychological first aid facilitators.
Kyrgyzstan
In partnershipwith Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, we have built toilet blocks in Bolot Mambetov. The goal of this programme is to improve girls' menstrualhealth and hygiene management(MHM) in four rural villages. The project was successfully completed over 14 months benefitting not only girl students but the teachers and the overall community in raising awareness and understanding the importance of menstrual health.
Cameroon
Together with Good Neighbors Cameroon we have constructed two boreholes in the villages of Galwaché and Wassoua in Méhé. The project helps the communities of the Méhé region in accessing clean water and educating the community on WASH/ hygiene managementpractices. This helps in reducing water-borne diseases and reduces risks to women and girls while they are travelling to far places in search of clean water.
Nepal
Working with Good Neighbors Nepal we are improving the access to learning for disabled children in the districts of Dhanusha and Mahottari. This project promotes equal access to education services by creating an infrastructure that promotes accessibility for children with disabilities (CWD). The project also deals with the stigmas and marginalisationassociated with disabilities and provides assistive tools. At the municipallevel (local Government)we are providing trainingand orientation on disability inclusion to help them provide the appropriate assistance to these children.
Also, with Good Neighbors Nepal we are developing a Water and Sanitation Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT) in the Modi Parbat District of Nepal. The project aims to improve the health of the communities through improving WASH practices at health facilities in the Gandaki Province including an upgrade to safe drinkingwater facilities, sanitation managementand training of health workers and general hygiene practice in the community.
UK
York
We created a Good Neighbours garden in Castlegate York. Working in partnership with several community organisations and volunteers, the garden provided a place of sanctuary, a meeting space, an event space and safe space for those in isolation coming through the pandemic. We organised coffee mornings for refugees to meet up and chat. The garden also provided an opportunity for York St John's University nursing students to enrich their skills by being part of this community.
Scarborough
In partnershipwith Scarborough Friends of Refugees we are working to develop a support structure for refugees and asylum seekers in the town with emphasis on supporting refugees with settled status.
Public benefit
We have referred to guidance contained in the CharityCommission'sgeneral guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Achievements and performance
Good Neighbours UK is employing enhanced due diligence practices to deliver these projects. We have created a global safeguarding standard and mandatory safeguarding training for all employees and delivery partners globally. For every project, alongside the delivery work we generate a memorandum of understandingto outline our shared responsibilities which considers project outputs and outcomes ; safeguarding and whistleblowing; safer recruitment; risk management; code of conduct; anti-fraud and bribery practices; governance; financial control; monitoring and evaluation; donor reporting and dispute management.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
Good Neighbours UK principal fund comes in the form of a donation from The Good Neighbors Global Partnerships Centre (GPC). This fund is unrestricted however an annual budget forecast, detailing income and expenditure, is prepared in advance and approved by GPC. Funding has been approved for the period 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023
Reserves policy
The trustees have set a target of holding three months of operating costs in reserves for the charityas the amount required for statutory commitments to staff and suppliers should the UK Office cease operation. This amount is calculated to be £120,000 (approved by Board Nov 2021).
The current free reserves of the charity are £136,628 and are above the required reserves level.
The trustees recognise that six months would be a healthy reserve however, whilst we are in the development stage of the UK office, consider that three months reserve would be sufficient. The reserves policy will be reviewed at the quarterly board meetings and adjusted as the UK office grows.
Going concern
The primary source of funding comes through donations to Good Neighbors International in Korea.
There is a long term commitment by Good Neighbors Internationalto fund Good Neighbours UK. The UK team continues to develop fundraising opportunities to ensure that there are additional funding streams for the operation and implementation of projects both locally, nationally and internationally.
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the 'going concern' basis in preparing the financial statements.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Good Neighbours UK
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Good Neighbours UK (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the period then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individuallyor collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information.The other informationcomprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informationand, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 8
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Good Neighbours UK
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understandingof the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internalcontrol as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 9
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Good Neighbours UK
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and addressing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, UK Charities Act, tax legislation and employment legislation.
-
We enquired of the trustees, reviewed correspondence with the charity commission and reviewed trustee meeting minutes for evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the trustees have in place to ensure compliance.
-
We gained an understandingof the controls that the trustees have in place to prevent and detect fraud. We enquired of the trustees about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period.
-
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: misappropriation of cash and other assets..
-
We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
-
We enquired of the trustees and third-party advisors about actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
We performed analytical procedures as a planningtool to identify any unusual or unexpected relationshipsthat might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatementsin the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internalcontrols. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Good Neighbours UK
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

15. GOING CONCERN
The Trustees' have prepared budgets and forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These reflect known committed income and committed costs such as payroll and known delivery costs of new projects and plans. The outcome of these budgets and forecasts is that the Charity has significant cash head room. The level of which is such that any adverse impact of macro economic factors would not give rise to a significantfinancial pressure on the charity. As such sensitivities such as a 50% fall in forecast income from historic donors would still leave the charity with cash head room. On that basis the Trustees' have considered it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
