REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

GOODWILL CHILDREN'S HOMES

Structure, Governance and Management

The Charity was founded in 1975 and adopted its current Rules on October 1st, 1994. It is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales to which it submits its accounts on an annual basis. The Rules establish the objects of the charity as being “the relief of poverty amongst children in any part of the world” and “without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing …. to give effect to the same by providing financial support to Goodwill Children’s Homes Charitable Society registered in Tamil Nadu, South India”. Currently, this organisation is responsible for 265 children in residential homes, trade training activities (15 older youngsters), an outreach programme that supports about 203 children in 27 tribal villages in the Palani Hills via the Tribal Outreach Project and 43 students being supported through higher education.

The Rules provide for a Trustee body of not more than twelve members and require the appointment of a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Treasurer and a Secretary by the Annual General Meeting to be held in September of each year. Trustees seek to fill vacancies from the charity’s existing supporter base taking into account the skills, experience and personal qualities needed to maintain the balance of the Trustee body. An audit of the skills and experience of existing Trustees has allowed a focussed search for additional Trustees to add to the expertise available on the Trustee body. Once a potential Trustee has been identified the person is approached, discussions take place, a short curriculum vitae is requested, and two referees are consulted. The person may attend one or two meetings as a guest. If all sides are happy after these preliminaries the new Trustee will be nominated and appointed at the Annual General Meeting. Where a newly appointed Trustee has not visited the Indian locations, a visit is facilitated if other circumstances allow.

All decisions on policy matters are made at Trustee meetings (currently three meetings per annum) but specific decisions may be delegated to Officers if the matter cannot be deferred to the next meeting. The Rules also provide for an Executive Committee to make decisions if necessary, reporting its decisions to the next meeting of the Trustees.

The delivery of care to children is entirely entrusted to partner organisations in South India (currently one major partner as specified in the Rules and one lesser partner). The relationships are specified in the short Memorandum of Understanding. These organisations are responsible under Indian law for the care of children, execution of programmes, ownership, and maintenance of, and employment of staff. In the past, the main channel of communication with these partners has been through a Field Consultant employed by the Charity, who has reported in writing to all meetings of the Trustees and spent approximately six months each year in India. In light of the financial circumstances, the Field Consultant is no longer employed and this role is now partially overseen by Trustees’ monitoring more closely and receiving better communication from the Indian Committee. Much of the recent focus of the UK Trustees has been on auditing policies and ensuring that they reflect recent legislation and are fit for purpose. A big emphasis has been put into examining the policy on Safeguarding the young people in our care and ensuring that working practises in India reflect our expectations of what is appropriate. The implications of the recent GDPR legislation are being incorporated into our Data Protection policy. In the absence of a Field Consultant, the trustees have responded by increasing the number of visits they make to Tamil Nadu to visit Goodwill Homes. At present at least two trustees make separate visits each year. They use this opportunity to audit the implementation of Goodwill policies and procedures, and also to spend time talking to the young people in Goodwill’s care- finding out their views on life at Goodwill. In addition, individual Trustees visit the field sites to improve their understanding of the work which is being done and the problems which must be overcome.

Objectives and Activities

The Trustees' aims and objectives are reviewed at the Annual General Meeting. The list distinguishes between activities in India, which are driven mainly by the needs and aspirations of its partner organisations, and activities in the United Kingdom, which focus on the raising of funds, communication with supporters, and ensuring the integrity of financial and administrative arrangements. In recent years the most important initiative in India has been the consolidation of residential care for older children on a large new site at Sanarpatti in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu. The first phase of this construction comprised two residential blocks for boys and a refectory. There is now a need to focus on replacing the inadequate accommodation for the older girls who are based in Pattiveeranpatti.

Communication with supporters is maintained by a twice-yearly Newsletter, and those supporters who sponsor individual children receive additional information directly from India. Recent hard work has resulted in a useful website (http://www.goodwillhomes.org.uk/).

In the United Kingdom, the charity employs one Administrator who is based in an office in Bristol. There are small groups of supporters in various parts of the country who raise money for the charity.

GOODWILL CHILDREN'S HOMES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Financial Review

The Charity sets an annual budget, which is based on the expected recurrent and agreed capital costs of the partner organisations in India. To fund that expenditure the charity sets income targets, which are based on past experience of giving by supporters in the United Kingdom (much of it in the form of long term sponsorships of individual children, specific facilities, or outreach villages). Where there is need for capital sums above such regular income the Charity will apply to other grant making bodies or issue an appeal to supporters: during the financial year an appeal of this kind was made to existing supporters through the Newsletter.

The Charity has a Memorandum of Understanding with the French Supporters' Group and that group signed a complementary Memorandum of Understanding with the Tamil Nadu Society. As a consequence funds from France which previously flowed through the UK charity's accounts are now remitted directly to India. The Memoranda of Understanding include provision for mechanisms to ensure that the two streams of funding are properly co-coordinated and accounted in India.

Investment Powers

These are governed by the Rules of the Association which permit the funds to be invested in any shares, securities or other property, whether producing income or not, or to lodge the same in any current or deposit bank or building society account and generally to exercise all the powers of investment which a sole beneficial owner of such monies would be entitled to exercise.

The Charity currently adopts a policy of using low risk investments with a view to ensuring that the capital value of the fund is maintained in real terms. Therefore money has been invested in short term (up to 60 days notice) bank deposit accounts and in money market term deposits up to one year. The policy is reviewed annually.

Reserves Policy

It is the trustees’ policy to maintain reserves above one year’s running costs. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed annually by the trustees. Reserves at the end of the year amounted to £380,537 (previous year: £264,699).

Risk Management

The trustees have examined the principal areas of the Charity’s operations and considered the major risks faced in each of these areas. In making decisions and reacting to its operating environment the Charity's Trustees recognise the need to avoid risks in the areas of administration, public reputation, financial management and government policy. There are also risks relating to the operation of our partner Society in Tamil Nadu under all those heads and in the area of childcare, but the Memorandum of Understanding with them makes it clear that the main responsibility for its finances, staffing and childcare lies with that Society.

In the opinion of the trustees, the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by them, have been reviewed and systems have been established which under normal conditions, should allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to day operations. The Trustees have agreed to review the statement of risk on an annual basis at the first meeting in each calendar year.
