The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to the accounts, and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and ‘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 2015)’. ## **Objectives and Activities** The Objectives of Baby Angels Organisation Limited are: _To relieve poverty among underprivileged children and their families world-wide by financially supporting meaningful development initiatives, aiming to promote positive change within their lives and help build sustainable livelihoods_ . The main activity undertaken in relation to the objectives is fundraising through our supporters in the world’s wealthiest nations, and re-distribution of that wealth to support the world’s poorest children through locally established social projects. During the current financial period, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has supported the following projects: - 1) **Food Programme for Orphans & Vulnerable Children in Port Elizabeth South Africa** - through Emmanuel Advice & Care Centre (EACC). **(Grant Value £900)** - EACC works in collaboration with Food Forward SA to deliver the child food programme. Baby Angels grants £75 per month to enable Emmanuel to provide continuity of this service to the community. Current attendance is approximately 200 children 2 times a week, including some adults and senior community members. The project provides over 1,600 meals per month to vulnerable children from approx. 67 local families. The management and staff of Emmanuel have expressed their gratitude for the continued support of Baby Angels which has allowed them to provide a beacon of hope in uncertain times. - 2) **Rafiki Foster Care – Supporting Cost of Operations** ( **Grant Value £600.00** ) Rafiki Foster Care is a non-profit community organisation set up by and for local people in Kenya. Rafiki Foster Care provides a complete care programme for children at risk of forced labour, exploitation, sexual abuse and drug use, due to family circumstances. They work collaboratively with vulnerable families in the region to provide residential respite care for their younger children, and foster homes to children without families. The grant constitutes £50 per month for one year - which will be allocated to the children’s medical insurance (NHIF) cover and electricity costs. These funds were disbursed in May 2023, and the associated impact will be realised in the 2023-24 year. 1 ## **Achievements and Performance** In the financial year ended 30[th] June 2023, Baby Angels Organisation Limited has raised funds of £3,155, distributed £1,500 to achieve its objectives, and incurred £137 in support costs. ## **1) Food Programme for Orphans & Vulnerable Children - South Africa** - The direct benefit flowing from this activity is the reduction in levels of poverty experienced by underprivileged children and their families. The children receive physical nourishment they may not otherwise receive in an underprivileged community enabling them to flourish, and in turn relieving financial pressure on their families. Charity objectives achieved by funding this project: Child Wellbeing 100% (Improved nutrition) Education & Skills Development 0% Community & Sustainability 0% - **2) Rafiki Foster Care – Supporting Cost of Operations (Grant Value £600.00)** The grant constitutes £50 per month for one year - which will be allocated to children's medical insurance (NHIF) cover and electricity costs.

3 ## **Financial Review** ## Review of Financial Position At the end of the reporting period, the balance between income and expenditure is positive. Funds to be carried forward to the following financial year are £4,090 (including £500 Reserve). The opening balance for the period was £2,573 (including £500 Reserve). £351.48 of income in the current period was received from HMRC in Gift Aid payments on donation receipts from 2022 YE. The receipt of Gift Aid payments has a significant impact on the ability of the charity to relieve poverty among underprivileged children and their families. ## Reserves Policy Baby Angels Organisation Limited holds a financial reserve to cover any possible liability should the organisation need to respond to unexpected financial difficulties, to protect the charity from future changes and challenges in economic circumstances, or if the organisation should have to cease operations. A reserve of £500 is held as security before grant making activity occurs. This means that grant making activity will not occur unless charity funds, over and above the £500 reserve, are sufficient to fund the proposed grant, its related costs and general running costs for the period. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** Baby Angels Organisation is a limited company and a charity registered with the Charity Commission NI.
