Welcome from our Chair and our Chief Executive.


10 years of EveryChild looking back, moving forward.
In November 2001, two like-minded organisations merged to form the charity we know and love today. Over the past 10 years EveryChild has run and supported projects in 25 countries with the aim of building positive futures for the worlds most vulnerable children. EveryChilds success is built on our founders long histories and desire to protect and promote child rights. They aimed to enhance the lives of the worlds poorest children by strengthening families and communities. As youll discover in this 2011/12 report, this focus is as fundamental today as it was when our colleagues prepared their first ever EveryChild Annual Report. Its been an incredible 10 years. Weve formed partnerships with organisations and governments across the world. Weve had the opportunity to work with inspiring children determined to make the very best of their lives. Weve seen families, with just a little support and a lot of hard graft, transform their own fortunes. And weve contributed to systemic changes that will continue to benefit vulnerable children for years to come. We are proud that the projects we both run and support have been successful enough for EveryChild to hand them over to our partners, or develop into new organisations. This year our work in Moldova, Russia and Ukraine transformed into new locally managed and locally run organisations. Elsewhere, in Cambodia, our partner has taken over our joint project with children living on the streets you can read more on page 18. Making these kinds of shifts in the way we work not only demonstrates confidence in our partners and staff, it places the management of them where it should be in the countries themselves. Our partners can ensure projects continue long into the future while EveryChild funds are retargeted to where we can be most effective. Turning 10 is not just an excuse to pat ourselves on the back for work well done; it is also a chance to consider the next 10 years. At least 24 million children still live without parental care across the world without mothers and fathers to look after them, these children are exposed to violence, exploitation and abuse. Failure to protect them undermines worldwide development goals. We are determined to have the greatest impact on the lives of those 24 million children. To do this we must fundamentally change the way we work. This is why we are a founding member of an international alliance of independent national organisations called Family for Every Child. The alliance grew this year as we work towards its launch in 2014. There are 13 founding members working in their own countries to ensure more children grow

Across the world 24 million children are growing up without the safety and protection of their families.

By bringing national expertise together we will reach far more children and have even greater influence across the world. We cant thank those who support us enough for their commitment to vulnerable children over the last 10 years. As you will see from this report, you really do bring about real and lasting changes. Thank you.

EveryChild working globally to stop children growing up vulnerable and alone.


More than 24 million children grow up without parental care, their survival often threatened by greater risk of malnutrition, violence and exploitation; their future lost by missing out on school, and their childhood. Working with local partners, EveryChild keeps children safe when they are alone and at risk. We protect children in danger of ending up on their own by keeping families together. And we get children back to a safe and caring family, wherever we can.
Working in partnership EveryChild works with local partners to maximise our impact. By working with community groups, local non governmental organisations, or alongside government agencies, we benefit from expert local knowledge and can make a difference where there is real need.

Keeping families together.


Poverty, neglect, violence and abuse can lead to family separation. Through training, childcare support or income generation schemes we strengthen families and keep them together.
Malawi In Malawi we run over 100 childcare centres for children being cared for by relatives and those from struggling families. The centres provide emotional and educational support, along with nutritious meals. This extra support relieves families of some of the costs of raising children and frees up adults time so that they can work and boost their familys income. This year around 4,230 children attended our centres. Without enough money to support their children, parents, particularly fathers, often make the tough decision to leave their families in search of work. Sadly many arent able to send money home, and others simply start a new life elsewhere. To prevent parents or guardians migrating for work, we offer help through loans and educational and farming supplies. In 2011/12, our projects in Malawi kept over 350 children safe in their families. Ethiopia With our partner, Forum on Sustainable Child Empowerment (FSCE), in Ethiopia we run centres where vulnerable children can gain an education. These non formal education centres give children who have missed out on school as a result of instability at home the chance to work towards returning to mainstream education. FSCE enabled nearly 1,400 children to access education in this way in 2011/12. India We support 340 child activity centres in Indias Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states. These centres are run by local people and give children from lower castes extra educational support. Through the centres our partners can also monitor vulnerable children and spread vital messages about protecting their rights. Over the past year our team in India have worked with other organisations to help families living in poverty access sponsorship funds from their local authority. These funds help children go to school and work towards a better future. Cambodia We support our partner Meahto Phum Komah (MPK) in delivering parenting training in Cambodia to help parents and carers discipline children without violence. We also raise awareness about childrens rights, trafficking and child labour with the aim of protecting children at risk.

Russia This year in Russia, EveryChild worked with our partner, Partnership for Every Child Russia, to run the countrys only respite care service for children with disabilities. Host families provided care to 97 children throughout 2011/12, giving parents and children a much-needed break. We also supported our partners service for families in crisis. The service gives emergency support to families under strain to prevent them from being separated. This year 49 children benefited when their families were helped to access this service from their local authorities.

Guyana Our partner ChildLinK worked with the families of 83 children this year to prevent them from leaving home. Poverty had driven many of these children to beg on the street while others were victims of violence or abuse. Through home visits and individual meetings with children, siblings and parents, our partner was able to resolve family problems and ensure children could remain at home where they belong.

Keeping children safe.


With our partners we work to keep children growing up at risk of exploitation, violence or abuse safe.
Kenya In Kenya a child accused of crime may find themselves in custody with dangerous adults when they themselves have only committed a minor offence, or no offence at all. With our partner, Pendekezo Letu (PKL), we ensure children are given the support they need to navigate this adult world, and we make sure their rights are protected. Our partner gave legal aid to 115 such children this year. Ethiopia Without their families children are vulnerable and unprotected. In Ethiopia we work with FSCE to provide safe and secure environments for children who have fallen victim to trafficking or sexual abuse. Over the past year, 84 children who had suffered abuse were supported at our partners temporary shelter in Adama. FSCE then worked with their families to ensure children could return home. Tanzania Lack of resources or instability at home drives many children in developing countries on to the street in search of a better life. In Tanzania we work with our partner Mkombozi to support vulnerable children living on the street. This year 87 boys found security and support at Mkombozis centre for children living on the street. We are working with them and their families to ensure they can return to their own communities safely. EveryChild also supports Mkombozis child protection committees. These community-run committees spread child rights messages and monitor vulnerable children. Throughout 2011/12, 34 children at risk of abuse were referred to the committees for protection. Cambodia We support children in prison or accused of a crime in Cambodia to ensure they have the right legal support. We also work with children to help them gain the skills and education they need to make the best of their futures. In 2011/12 we supported almost 150 children within Cambodias legal system.

We also trained over 300 fosters carers and established 12 small family-like childrens homes in Georgia. We ensure the quality of childrens care by establishing networks to monitor and support carers. This year we led the formation of the Georgian Foster Care Organisation and two other groups focused on small childrens homes and day care.

Getting children back into families.


Wherever we can, we reunite children on their own with their families or help them get into alternative family-based care.

Mzias story
When Mzia was just three months old her mother left her in an institution for babies in Georgia. Mzias mum had grown up in institutional care and couldnt cope with raising her child alone. Nine year old Mzia would have spent her whole childhood in institutions but luckily she is now benefiting from the foster care system EveryChild pioneered in Georgia. Here she is with her foster mother Manana, Mzia says, The day I came here was very good. I like it here.

EveryChild Annual Report 2011/12

EveryChild and our partner reunited 100 girls with their families in Kenya.
Tanzania Along with our partner Mkombozi in Tanzania, we reunited 30 boys with their families. The children were previously living and working on the street and spent time at our partners centre before being supported to return to their own families. Some families require extra support before being able to welcome their child back home. This year our partner developed an intensive method for working with these families and has been able to bring three troubled families together in this way. India Many children in India are forced to work to support their families. Often these children live with their employers where they are vulnerable to exploitation and have no way of getting the education they need to build a better future. We helped over 120 children leave employment and return to their homes and schools throughout 2011/12. Over 70 of these children had been living and working on farms or in textile mills to pay off family debts. Kenya with them and their families. Our partner, PKL, runs a residential centre where girls live for 10 months receiving educational and emotional help before returning to their families. We also support parents, particularly mothers, to help them gain the skills and funds they need to start small businesses. This year 100 girls left the centre to be reunited with their families and return to school. We also work with Solwodi in Kenya to improve the lives of children living in institutional care or child-only families. Where we can, we bring children growing up alone back together with their parents, or other relatives. This year 41 children were reunited with their families. Moldova and Georgia We challenge the prevalence of residential institutions in former Soviet Union countries like Moldova and Georgia. We know that the best place for most children is within a family and work hard to get them out of large institutions that do so much harm. This year EveryChild supported the closure of five institutions in Moldova and a further 10 in Georgia. We ensure all children leaving institutions have safe homes to return to, or we help to find them alternative care with foster families or in small, family-like childrens homes. There are now just seven state-run institutions in Georgia. They are home to around 300 children and we are working with the Georgian government to ensure that these institutions close, and the children are found new homes, by 2014.

In the slums of Kenyas capital Nairobi thousands of people scrape a living by sorting through the waste at huge rubbish dumps for items to sell. Tragically many of these people are children who risk their safety and health, and miss out on school, to boost their families incomes by just a few pence. Girls living or working on the street are particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. EveryChild supports these girls by funding our partners work

Institutional care is no place for a child to grow up. We are working with the Georgian government to ensure the last state-run institutions close by 2014.

Making sure children are heard.


We help children, their families and communities find lasting solutions to their problems by enabling them to speak for themselves and take part in decisions that affect their lives.
Malawi Through our childrens centres and child rights clubs in Malawi we helped over 5,300 vulnerable children learn about their rights and call on decision-makers to make changes that will improve their lives. This year children from centres and clubs in two areas were able to influence their district education authorities to send teachers to schools suffering a shortage of staff. They also managed to persuade over 150 children who had dropped out of school to return to education. Nepal In Nepal we began working with a new partner, Voice of Children (VOC), to support children living on the streets. With the aim of providing long-term family care for children who are unable to return to their own families after living on the street, EveryChild and VOC are exploring foster care in Nepal. To lay the foundations of developing a foster care system, our partner worked intensively with five children who may benefit. High level meetings and workshops were also held with members of the central and local governments, other non governmental organisations and social workers to prepare them for supporting children in foster care. Moldova EveryChild in Moldova worked to develop two policies with the aim of improving child participation within the child protection system. Three regional councils approved the policies and followed up this approval by delivering training in decision-making for children sitting on advisory boards. These young people are part of groups who advise professionals working with the countrys most vulnerable children.

In focus Sumangali Thittam exploiting children in Tamil Nadu


The Sumangali Thittam, or wedding scheme, is an exploitative bonded labour scheme that preys on young teenage girls in Tamil Nadu. The scheme sees girls as young as 12 recruited to work in the regions textile mills on the promise of a large payment in return for three to five years service. The girls usually come from the lowest Arunthatiyar caste the Dalits among Dalits or untouchables. They face a life of harsh discrimination and extreme poverty poverty that is exploited by textile mill owners in search of cheap labour. In August 2011, EveryChild and our partners in Tamil Nadu interviewed 45 girls affected by the Sumangali scheme. The girls revealed that extreme poverty is the principle factor in joining the scheme. Their families were also persuaded by promises of three meals a day, comfortable accommodation and entertainment programmes for their children. In reality, on signing up to the scheme girls are forced to leave their homes and live in crowded conditions while working long, exhausting hours. The girls we spoke to reported sexual harassment and verbal abuse from their supervisors and 70% had suffered acute health problems including asthma and stomach and chest pains. Sadly, after sacrificing their rights, their health and their dignity, most girls never receive the payment they are promised. EveryChild is working with local partners in Tamil Nadu to combat the Sumangali scheme through education and family support.

Influencing and inspiring change.


By raising awareness, advocating for changes and highlighting the issues affecting vulnerable children we can transform many more lives than through our projects alone.
Tanzania With funding from the Department for International Development (DFID) in the UK, EveryChild and two of our partners, Mkombozi and The National Organisation for Legal Assistance (NOLA), in Tanzania are working to raise awareness of, and protect, childrens rights. This year, NOLA formed the Child Justice Forum. Made up of government representatives and civil society organisations, this forum will oversee the implementation of the Law of the Child Act, which provides the legal framework to realise and protect the rights of Tanzanias children. Our partners also undertook awareness-raising activities such as community theatre, setting up child rights groups and distributing information leaflets to inform over 8,000 people about childrens rights. A further campaign was launched to spread the word about how to recognise child abuse.

Kenya As a member of Kenyas Girl Child Network, our partner PKL helped influence the government to allocate budget for the provision of free sanitary pads for vulnerable girls in primary and secondary schools. Embarrassment and lack of knowledge can lead girls to drop out of school at puberty. Throughout 2011/12 around 22,000 young girls benefited from the free pads, greatly improving their health and ability to continue attending school. India In January 2012, EveryChild in India completed our research into the impact of state sponsorship on children from poor households in Karnataka. The findings were shared at an event attended by key decision-makers, such as the Chairperson of the State Child Rights Commission, and other non governmental organisations. State sponsorship provides funds to children to help them stay in school and train for more positive futures. EveryChilds research has helped us influence local authorities to ensure that sponsorship funds are paid, and that vulnerable families receive the support they need. Ukraine Advocacy by EveryChild and other organisations in Ukraine led the council representing the countrys provinces to review its programme on childcare reform and family support. Importantly, local

family support payments have been introduced through the programme, which, coupled with the provision of social services, are now making a huge difference to families in need. Worldwide EveryChilds report series, Positive care choices, grew by two papers. The series highlights the need for investment in a range of care choices for vulnerable children in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people. Following on from Scaling down, published in early 2011, we launched Adopting better care and Fostering better care. Together the papers make a case for reducing the numbers of children in residential care and developing foster care and adoption as alternatives. In a joint paper published with the Better Care Network in 2012, Enabling reform, we argued that supporting children with disabilities must be at the heart of childcare reform. Towards the end of the year, EveryChild published a literature review, Making social work work. The review explores social work across the world and calls for vulnerable children to be better assessed so that they receive the support and care they need.

Learning, to do better.
We try new ways of doing things, and then share what works with communities and governments to bring about lasting, positive change.
Worldwide We regularly review our partnerships with the organisations we work with across the world. Through phone calls and reports our partners let us know how we are doing and together we improve the way we work so that more children and communities benefit. This year we finalised monitoring and evaluation guidelines for all our partners and offices. These guidelines help EveryChild and our partners assess the quality and impact of the work we do together. Cambodia, Moldova and Ukraine Over the past year we have handed over our work in Cambodia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine to local partners. With all of our projects, EveryChilds ultimate aim is to be able to hand the work over to a local partner so that they can continue changing lives for generations to come. In Cambodia our partner Meahto Phum Komah (MPK) will continue supporting children living on the streets and empowering vulnerable families in order to prevent children from ending up on their own. EveryChild in Moldova made the transition to becoming an independent organisation, Partnerships for Every Child Moldova (P4EC), in 2011/12. P4EC will continue to build on EveryChilds achievements in the field of child rights. Over the past 10 years, EveryChild has been instrumental in overhauling Moldovas entire social care system. Weve closed down institutions and introduced concepts such as a foster care and social work to a previously reluctant government. In July 2011, EveryChild handed over our work in Russia to Partnership for Every Child Russia (P4EC). This new Russian organisation, created out of our work, will continue to support families in crisis and give children with disabilities and their carers much needed breaks through the countrys only respite care service. EveryChilds office in Ukraine has now closed and an independent organisation, Partnership for Every Child Ukraine, has been formed to continue building on our work. Partnership for Every Child is providing professional support to children, families, communities and the government to ensure that every child grows up in a safe and secure family.

Mkombozi

Boys at Mkombozis centre enjoying their newly redesigned accommodation.

In focus More than just shelter


For over 14 years, one of our partners in Tanzania, Mkombozi, has run a residential centre for boys living or working on the street. The centre is a sanctuary for vulnerable young people keeping them off the streets and safe from harm. As they developed their work, Mkombozi saw that although the centre keeps children safe, it cant offer the care and nurture of a family. Mkombozi shares EveryChilds belief that a family is the best place for a child; this is why in 2011/12 they made the decision to change the centres aim and structure. Guided by EveryChilds research paper Scaling down: Reducing, reshaping and improving residential care around the world, our partner reshaped the childrens accommodation so that boys now live in small groups cared for by just one or two consistent carers rather than a large number of staff. Children no longer stay at the centre long term but live there for up to a year while Mkombozi support them and their families intensively before reuniting them. Our partner also works with whole families, empowering them so that children do not end up on the streets in the first place. Mkombozi, with support from EveryChild, are now sharing their successful restructure with other organisations running similar care homes with the aim of ensuring better care for vulnerable children across Tanzania.

Fundraising.
Thanks to people like you, we raised 8.7 million in 2011/12.
Despite the continuing tough economic climate, the majority of our funds came from the UK public who responded to our appeals, online messages and fundraisers on the street with donations and legacies totalling 5.8 million. This income is largely unrestricted, which hugely benefits EveryChild as we are able to target our resources where the need is greatest. Members of the public also dug deep for EveryChild by sponsoring friends, colleagues and relatives taking part in events. In May 2011 over 30 people raised 16,000 for our work in Georgia by trekking 35 miles from Tunbridge Wells to the City as part of Futures for Kids inaugural Walk to Work. In September corporate supporters Tokio Marine Europe took to Dorsets beautiful coastline for a Jurassic Coast Walk raising a wonderful 10,000 to support projects in Tanzania. As we handed over our work with children living, or at risk of living, on the street in Cambodia to our local partner this year we also ended our sponsorship programme there. Our loyal sponsors discussed the changes with the EveryChild team and many went on to sponsor children in Malawi and India. TRAID team members Leigh McAlea, Communications Manager, and Lyla Patel, Head of Education, made a trip

to India to visit an EveryChild and TRAID funded project with child labourers in Tamil Nadu. They met children supported to leave exploitative work and saw how child activity centres are helping to keep children safe and in school. 2011/12 proved to be a challenging year for grants as competition for funds continues to step up across the UK. Despite this, EveryChild has been successful in securing four new funding partners who will support our projects with grants totalling nearly 2 million. We began a three year partnership with the GHR Foundation to support the establishment of an international alliance to help more children grow up in safe and caring families or in appropriate permanent alternative care. Comic Relief and the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission are enabling us to work with CWISH in Nepal to protect child domestic workers, while a grant from DFID will allow EveryChild and our partners to defend child rights in Tanzania. Without the continued support from individuals, companies, trusts and foundations, EveryChilds work would simply not be possible. Thousands of children, their families and communities are looking forward to a brighter future thanks to you.

EveryChild and fellow members will also work to formally establish our alliance and agree on its governance structure over the next year. Increasingly influence global decision-makers through our research, participation in events and media coverage. We will highlight the importance of supporting children without parental care in order to achieve global development goals, particularly focusing on the new framework for the post-Millennium Development Goals agenda beyond 2015.

1. We will develop our work with new partners in Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal and explore new partnership opportunities in Uganda and Zimbabwe. We worked with Solwodi and PKL in Kenya to support families at risk of separation and children living on the streets. Around 50,444 children have benefited from EveryChild-supported projects in Kenya throughout 2011/12. In Tanzania, our partners Mkombozi and NOLA raised awareness of child rights, supported boys living on the streets and empowered families to stay together. While in Nepal we began working with our partner CWISH on projects with child domestic workers and started to support children living on the street with Voice of Children. We built relationships with organisations in Uganda and Zimbabwe. We will continue to explore working in partnership in both countries in 2012/13. 2. Our work in Russia and Moldova will be handed over to independent local organisations created out of our own programmes. EveryChild in Moldova began to close down in 2011/12 and a new organisation was formed, Partnerships for Every Child Moldova (P4EC), out of our work. In Russia, a new, locally run organisation Partnership for Every Child Russia (P4EC) was founded on EveryChilds success in the country after our own office closed. 3. We will make significant progress towards the establishment of an international alliance by recruiting at least 16 founding members. We now have 13 members and together we are working towards launching our alliance by 2014.

A girl picks over the rubbish in search of items to sell in Korogocho, Kenya, one of the worlds largest and most dangerous rubbish dumps. EveryChild works with our partner, PKL, locally to help children and their families who work on the dump.

We met in March 2012 to discuss the aims of the alliance and generate ideas for a name and logo to help us communicate with governments and other organisations across the world. The alliance was named Family for Every Child in May 2012. 4. We will continue with our three year research project exploring childrens reintegration into their families. Since early 2011, EveryChild, our partners and organisations who are now Family for Every Child members have undertaken research into childrens reintegration to their families in Moldova, Nepal, Mexico and Ethiopia. Family for Every Child will publish a paper accompanying this research in 2012. 5. Four working papers will be published focusing on positive care choices. We published Scaling down in March 2011, and followed this up with two more papers later in the year, Fostering better care and Adopting better care. Take a look online at www.everychild.org.uk/reports. A report looking at kinship care is written and will be launched in the autumn of 2012. 6. We will have identified, tested and started to raise funds through a new fundraising technique. Supporters old and new are signing up to be EveryChild Guardians giving them a chance to form a close bond with the communities they support. Visit www.everychild.org.uk/guardians

Financial policies
Reserves policy EveryChilds Board of Trustees regularly reviews our reserves policy in line with ongoing plans and budgets. EveryChild maintains adequate free reserves in order to absorb set-backs that would otherwise impact negatively on our programmatic plans and to allow us to take opportunities to invest for future development where they arise. The trustees have concluded that a reserves target of 1.2 million is appropriate. EveryChild is spearheading the creation of an international alliance. The Board of Trustees designated 1.1 million of our funds in 2010/11 to facilitate and enable this transition between 2011 and 2014 to date we have spent 0.3 million of this designated fund. At the balance sheet date, taking into account this designation, free available (general) reserves were 1.3 million, against the target of 1.2 million. Going concern EveryChild has considered its financial performance in the past year, the risks we face going forward and the appropriateness of our reserves to manage those risks. We have also taken account of our financial projections for the next 12 months and beyond, taken from our budgeting and planning processes and with consideration of the potential variations from those forecasts. We are satisfied that we have adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future, and that we have the appropriate controls in place to manage any material change in circumstances. We have therefore prepared our accounts on the basis that we are a going concern. Investment policy Our investment policy protects the capital value of our funds, particularly given our plans for investment in the development of the above mentioned alliance over the next three years. We therefore hold our funds in bank deposit accounts. Any interest earned is used to support the charitys objects. Grant making policy EveryChilds work in some countries is carried out by making grants to partner organisations. Project proposals are subject to approval by EveryChilds senior management team and trustees to ensure the work is in line with our aims and focus. All projects are subject to a monitoring process during their lifecycle and payment of grants is subject to satisfactory monitoring reports being received.

Governance, structure and management.


Governing document EveryChild was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee (number: 4320643) in November 2001 and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (number: 1089879). The governing documents of the company are its Memorandum and Articles of Association, updated 23rd September 2009. The objects of the charity are set out in the Memorandum of Association, in summary these are: To relieve hardship, poverty, malnutrition and sickness (whether physical or mental) of children and families. To promote the care, development or education of children and young people. In both cases anywhere throughout the world irrespective of their religion sex or race or national origin and in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child (1959). To promote knowledge and observance of that Convention and Declaration. Public benefit It is a duty of the charitys trustees to report on the organisations public benefit in the Trustees Annual Report. To meet this requirement, charities must be able to demonstrate that: There is an identifiable benefit which has arisen by fulfilling the charitys aims. The beneficiaries are the public, or a section of the public. The trustees have satisfied themselves that, in achieving the objectives described in this report, EveryChild meets the public benefit requirement. The trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commissions advice on assessing public benefit in coming to this conclusion. Organisational structure The Board of Trustees is responsible for the formulation of EveryChilds strategic plans and for monitoring our progress against those plans, as well as the operational and financial targets. They delegate the main day to day decisions to EveryChilds senior managers from whom the trustees receive regular reports on all aspects of our work. The board meets formally at least four times a year. The Finance and Audit Committee, chaired by the Treasurer, meets four times a year, and reports to the board. In addition, ad-hoc steering groups, with representation from trustees and senior management, are convened as and when required. These have no decision-making authority, and are advisory to the board. Our trustees give their time freely, receiving no remuneration or other financial benefit. Recruitment and induction of trustees Trustees are generally recruited through an open selection process with vacant positions publicly advertised. Applications are encouraged that both reflect the broad community with which EveryChild works, and whose skills and experience match the governance demands of the organisation. Members of the board are elected at the Annual General Meeting by the existing board. Trustees are appointed for a term of three years service; this may be extended to a further term. Each new trustee is provided with an induction pack that provides background to the organisation and its current strategic plans, as well as Charity Commission guidance on the role of a trustee. They are given an induction programme during which they can meet key members of staff and are given the opportunity of additional training where necessary or desired. Please see p45 for a list of our trustees.

26

Risk management Our trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that EveryChild has appropriate systems of control. They are also responsible for safeguarding our assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide assurance that: EveryChilds assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition; Proper records are maintained and financial information used within the charity or for publication is reliable; EveryChild complies with relevant laws and regulations. Staff from each functional department meet on a regular basis to assess risks specific to their areas of responsibility and those that have a broader impact to the organisation. Those risks are consolidated into a risk register identifying their likelihood and potential impact on the organisation and the tasks required to mitigate against them and manage any residual risk. Completion dates and responsibilities are also allocated. The trustees review actions in respect of high risk items along with new and changed priority risks. The trustees are satisfied that these systems ensure that arrangements are in place to manage the risks that have been identified. Key risks include: The effect of the economic situation on the availability of funds to deliver the strategy. Security and business continuity issues affecting our overseas operations. Risks relating to data protection and fundraising data management. The risk of a child protection incident arising in our, or our partners, programmes. In addition to the general risk management process EveryChild has implemented child protection policies and procedures, for which a working group is responsible for training all staff and ensuring compliance. Appropriate Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks are made for all trustees and disclosures obtained for all staff and non-staff working with or visiting children involved in EveryChild projects.

Statement of trustees responsibilities


The trustees (who are also directors of EveryChild for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to; select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware: There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable companys auditor is unaware; and The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable companys website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Notes to the financial statements.


For the year ended 31st March 2012
1. Status The company is a registered charity (No. 1089879) and qualifies for exemption from corporation and capital gains taxes on its charitable activities. The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The Memorandum of Association provides that all members are liable to contribute a sum not exceeding 1 in the event of the company being wound up while they are members or within one year of ceasing to be members. 2. Accounting policies These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. The principal accounting policies adopted in preparation of the financial statements are as follows:a) Basis of accounting The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments at market value. After making enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Financial Review on page 25. b) Group accounts EveryChild owns the whole of the share capital of EveryChild Trading Limited. EveryChild is the sole member and Trustee of the European Childrens Trust (ECT) and The Christian Childrens fund of Great Britain (CCFGB). The Trustees consider that the activities of the subsidiary companies are not material, and group accounts are therefore not prepared on the grounds of immateriality. The financial statements accordingly present information about the company as an individual undertaking. c) Branches Overseas partners and branches are consolidated within the financial statements where the charity exercises a substantial degree of influence or control over the operations of that entity in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities. d) Income recognition Donations are recognised when receivable, provided that our entitlement and the value can be estimated with sufficient certainty. Gift Aid in respect of donations is credited to the year in which the donation was receivable. Grant income is recognised when there is sufficient certainty that the terms of the grant have been met. Where a grant contains performance conditions which have yet to be fulfilled, the grant income is deferred. Legacies are included in the financial statements as an incoming resource in the year in which the charity is notified and when the value and entitlement of the legacy is known with reasonable certainty. e) Resources expended and basis of allocation of costs Expenditure is included when incurred, including attributable VAT where it cannot be recovered. In the case of grants to partner organisations, the point of recognition is when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing EveryChild to the expenditure. The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to specific headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Support department costs and other overheads are apportioned between governance costs, cost of generating funds and charitable activities based on the most appropriate cost allocation driver (e.g. headcount, floorspace, proportion of total expenditure).

33

Notes to the financial statements (continued).


For the year ended 31st March 2012
Cost of generating funds These include the salaries, direct expenditure and overhead costs of the staff in offices in the UK who promote fundraising and public relations, including events and provision of supporter services. Grant expenditure Grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being an unavoidable commitment. Governance costs Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charitys activities. f) Operating lease rentals Costs in respect of operating leases are charged to resources expended over the term of each lease. g) Tangible fixed assets The cost of tangible fixed assets is written off over the estimated lives of the assets on a straight line basis. The depreciation rates used are as follows: Fixtures, fittings and equipment Software development Freehold improvements Freehold property 3 years 3 years 10 years 50 years Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated until they are completed, at which point they are transferred to the relevant asset category and depreciated in line with the above depreciation rates. h) Investments Listed investments are stated at market value at the Balance Sheet date in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005). Realised and unrealised gains are included in the Statement of Financial Activities. Unrealised gains are calculated as the difference between the market values of investments at the beginning and end of the year. Realised gains represent the difference between the sales proceeds and the opening market value of an investment. i) Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions are translated at the appropriate rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency balances are translated into sterling at the appropriate rates of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. Gains or losses resulting from conversion of foreign currencies have been dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities. j) Pension costs The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes administered by independent companies. The pension costs represent the contributions payable by the company to the schemes for the year. k) Fund accounting General Reserves are unrestricted funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and that have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

If an asset is purchased for use in a project or programme, the estimated life of the asset is the lesser of the length of the project or programme, or the rates as above. All assets costing more than 500 are capitalised. Vehicles and equipment for use in overseas operational programmes are not capitalised but charged to charitable expenditure as incurred. This is because the expected useful life is significantly reduced in such programmes, and recoverable value to the charity is not considered material after one year.

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 3. Incoming resources from generated funds 2012 '000 Committed giving: Child Sponsorship programme Other Other donations, grants, appeals and fundraising events: GHR Foundation Other Gift Aid receivable Legacies Special events Total Included within legacies are amounts bequeathed to The European Childrens Trust and The Christian Childrens Fund of Great Britain, and received within the year, which have been granted to EveryChild to be used in accordance with the restrictions under which they were received. Legacies to an approximate value of 23k have not been recognised as income in the year to 31 March 2012. Although probate was granted prior to 31 March 2012 in relation to these legacies, it was not possible to establish the amount or timing of receipts with sufficient accuracy as at the year end. 1,937 2,169 225 912 788 329 20 6,380 2011 '000 2,167 1,948 121 951 918 438 60 6,603

13. Restricted funds (continued) Restricted project funds comprise the unexpended balances of donations and grants held for specific purposes. These funds will be expended in accordance with the agreed project objectives and operational plans, over the project term. Other projects include approximately 20 projects that are not individually material and so have not been listed separately. Transfers between funds relate to closing adjustments on the completion of projects and adjustments of prior year transactions on review of factors such as foreign exchange rates and management contributions. The project reserve for Empowering children and adults to ensure children fully access their right to protection, Tanzania, has a 17k debit balance at the year end owing to funds advanced to EveryChilds partner prior to the year end (recognised as expenditure in line with accounting policy) but not expended by the partner and so not yet entitled to be claimed from the donor by the year end.

Dame Jo Williams CBE, a trustee of EveryChild, and her husband are both directors of MobiusUK. MobiusUK put forward a proposal for the work undertaken and was selected in accordance with the normal tendering process for such contracts.
