Report of the Trustees

For the period ending September 30[th] 2020

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ending September 30[th] 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared and comply with the Trust’s governing document, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities,’ issued in March 2005.

Structure, governance and management

The Trust is administered by five Trustees, two of whom are nominated by the Chairman of the Trustees of the Haileybury Society and two by the Master of Haileybury. The Master is an ex-officio Trustee.

The Trust supports a registered NGO in Uganda, HYT Uganda and the Trust’s Country Manager in Uganda administers the activity of this NGO under the supervision of the Trust’s Director. The Trust’s Country Manager is responsible for the day to day management of the NGO’s permanent and volunteer staff in Uganda. A further 67 Ugandans and South Sudanese were given extensive training in climate-friendly construction. HYT remains grateful to the Haileybury Society for its continued support of the Assistant Country Manager and Area Manager (North and West) Ed Brett (OH) and its interest in the work of the charity.

The Trust currently supports programmes of training and sustainable development in Uganda.

Charitable object

The object of the Trust is to promote the development of young persons in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these

objects

Haileybury Youth Trust [HYT] undertakes programmes of vocational training, education and sustainable construction in Uganda. Working with young people in poor rural communities and refugee settings, the permanent HYT team works with trainees drawn from the villages and settlements in which the projects are located.

The public benefit is clearly identified thus:

3

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9EE78F81-2FE3-462B-A631-2EFF983C81B8

‘Young people’ is defined as those up to the age of 25. There are no other restrictions, including those of race, religion or gender. The Trustees continue to have due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Safeguarding

The Trustees take seriously their responsibilities in relation to Safeguarding. The Trustees and Ugandan-based British staff and volunteers are DBS checked, while the Ugandan DBS equivalent is undertaken for HYT’s full time staff in Uganda. Safeguarding training for all paid staff is undertaken annually and the Trust’s Safeguarding policy is published on the Trust’s website.

Achievements and performance

COVID-19

Much of the first half of 2020 was inevitably seriously affected by the global pandemic. While the two volunteers left Uganda in late March (having arrived in mid January), the other staff remained in Uganda, including Ed Brett. Most operations were suspended for the period April-July, including those in the refugee settlements, which had become the focus of HYT’s activity. One site in eastern Uganda (RAVO) remained working, but with all appropriate precautions in place.

The Trustees’ and management prime concern was for the health of the staff in Uganda and took measures to ensure all colleagues and trainees were safe. Full time staff, although not working for a time, were paid in full, while some others were given financial support through the period of inactivity.

Although schools largely remained closed, the country began to open up in August 2020 and operations resumed in the refugee settlements at this point.

4

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9EE78F81-2FE3-462B-A631-2EFF983C81B8

All the permanent staff have remained in the Trust’s employment. There are likely to be indirect implications for HYT. While the Trust’s own financial position is very healthy, many other NGO’s (small and large) and grant-giving agencies, have suffered from much-reduced income. This will, in time, impact HYT's capacity to work as an implementing partner, a model successfully developed in recent years.

Ashden International Award

The Trust continued to benefit from the Ashden International Award (June 2017). In particular the short film made by Ashden as part of the award, proved a useful promotional tool. Among those who had heard of Ashden, the award remained an important recognition of the Trust’s work.

One Village at a Time and other training – the refugee context

Uganda has one of the world’s largest refugee communities: more than 1.4 million refugees from South Sudan, DRC and, to a lesser extent Somalia and Burundi, live in north and west Uganda. The Bidibidi settlement alone has 240,000 South Sudanese, making it the largest settlement in the continent. It is in this context that HYT has re-focused its priority. HYT opened a northern office in Yumbe, managed by Ed Brett, to have easy access to the settlements and other NGO Field Offices.

The Trust adapted its successful ‘One Village at a Time’ model for the refugee context: a programme of sustainable development and skills training, begun in 2010. The Trust continues to use and promote the wider adoption of environmentally-friendly and sustainable construction technologies, in particular the Interlocking Stabilised Soil Block [ISSB].

In the ‘One Village’ project, or ‘train as you build,’ the Trust works intensively with rural Ugandan communities over a sustained period, developing educational infrastructure while exposing community members to the need for environmentally-friendly and appropriate construction techniques. The Trust equips trainees, drawn from the community in which the project is located, with new skills, including block-making and masonry, giving them potential opportunities for income-generation and future employment, with HYT and independently. This model can – and does – work with refugee and host communities alike.

A list of structures completed is included at the end of this report (appendix 1). The Trust continued its recent policy of working away from the Trust’s base in Jinja, and into other areas, notably refugee settlements, as described. The Trust is in a position to run multiple sites, since there are now eight full-time Ugandan staff in permanent employment, as well as the Country Manager, Mauricia Nambatya. The Assistant Country Manager, Ed Brett, led the major initiative of the year, the two projects in which HYT worked with international

NGO Mercy Corps in delivering training and building in Bidibidi settlement area of Zone 3 and 4, Yumbe District.

The Mercy Corps project In Bidibidi

The initial Mercy Corps project in Bidi Bidi, funded by DFID, included construction and training in Zone 3. The on-site team led by Philip Yiga and Fred Koire, recruited 26 trainees (10 women and 16 men). In line with Uganda’s refugee policy, the group consisted of 20 South Sudanese refugees and 6 Ugandas. During the training the team constructed an open meeting space and trading kiosk. Graduation was held on 25th September 2019.

Following success in Zone 3, Mercy Corps under DFID funding, commissioned the construction of a meeting space and trading kiosk in Zone 4. Graduates from Zone 3 were employed on this project and no additional training was included. The design of the meeting space in Zone 4 was a replica of a two classroom block constructed in Kumel in 2019 in partnership with Build Africa and the Richard Feilden Foundation. This was HYT’s first structure built using a wider 220mm ISSB block under the direction of the District Engineer.

Technical

The ISSB is accredited with a Ugandan National Bureau of Standards [UNBS] code US 849, which will further advance its reputation as a reliable construction material and technology.

The Trust continued to refine its use of ISSB, developing its own design for school kitchens, with fuel-efficient stoves, with a typical saving of up to 40% in firewood costs. A continued feature of the Trust’s work was to further develop its technical and professional competence, making better use of architect’s drawings, and in particular the software program, Sketchup.

One technical advance was to expose much greater blockwork in buildings, improving the structure’s appearance and reducing carbon-embodied cement and costs further. All aspects of construction improved during this reporting period and quality control remains central to the effectiveness and success of both the training and social enterprise programmes. Systematic and regular block testing remained an important element of quality control, which in turn demonstrates the professionalism of the approach to construction

Rainwater harvesting [RWH] is an increasingly important area for HYT. RWH gives important access to supplementary water sources, during the two rainy seasons, at a relatively low cost. HYT’s RWH tanks are quickly constructed and more robust and cheaper than the steel

6

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9EE78F81-2FE3-462B-A631-2EFF983C81B8

tanks commonly used by NGOs and organisations. Developing a commercial model for RWH might be something for the Trust to consider, although it will be mindful of entering a commercial marketplace with associated tax liabilities.

Social Enterprise

In addition to the ‘One Village at a Time’ programme, the Trust undertook a range of activity with and for other NGOs, which included training, construction and consultancy, all in relation to HYT’s sustainable and appropriate building technology, the Interlocking Stabilised Soil Block [ISSB]. This area of social enterprise became increasingly central to HYT’s activity and its income streams, particularly in refugee settlements. While traditional forms of fundraising yielded less income through the year, there was greater activity, supported by third party organisations (NGO’s).

Productive relationships were established or continued through the year with a number of NGO’s and individuals:

Volunteers

Rob Douglas and Ed Holroyd’s volunteer attachment to HYT was cut short by the pandemic. It is hoped that further volunteers may be able to travel by January 2022, although this is not yet clear.

The website continues to attract interest, as do the social media platforms, although there remains a need to extend the reach of both the website and social and digital media still further. Volunteers are helpful in maintaining and managing social media channels and other communications.

Future planning for the year 2020-2021

Technology: ensuring the ISSB technology is used most effectively and efficiently, with continued focus on the quality of block-production and construction and increasingly professional use of architect’s drawings and plans and SketchUp.

Financial and accounting

HYT Uganda, the beneficiary of grant aid from HYT UK, continued to operate on a professional and legal basis, with its accounts satisfactorily audited by PM Kakaire and Associates

Liabilities were met with zero tax returns filed for June 2020 and Ugandan NGO status (S5914/8295) was changed in the NGO Board verification process.

HYT operates on NGO Permit number FORP77901272NB valid until September 2023 and the local Registration number is FORR82951272NB.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 September 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
