Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The Trustees have power to appoint a new trustee or trustees. There is no fimit to the number of trustees that may be appointed.

Induction and training The charity does not possess a formal policy for the training and induction of trustees.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees are responsible for the overall running of the charity. Day to day operational control is undertaken by the administrator who is supervised by the Trustees.

Achievements and Performance

The 27 students who were trained in 2023-2024 graduated between July and August 2024, the Trust expects to run all three courses again during the 2025-2026 year. The education of over 100 children and 12 pastors is still being sponsored through the Trust by people from the UK.

We have been able to maintain contact, mainly through social media and instant messaging with our African partners and in some instances, this has included on-line worship and theological training. We have also run two larger scale fundraising projects; one named Boost 100 which has secured significant funding for our theological education project, and one to raise money for new latrines at a partner school in Uganda which were built just prior to the end of this year. We were able to travel to Uganda again during this year, renew relationships and engage in accountability practices to ensure the safe-keeping of finances and upkeep of buildings which are overseen by the Trust.

Financial Review

The Trustees continued the policy of careful stewardship for all of its projects. Money is not committed until it has been received and is available for use. The Trustees continue to agree to maintain a balance at the end of any year that will meet all known commitments for the following financial year. Because of this way of working there is no financial risk associated with the work of the Trust. The principal sources of funds remain individuals and United Reformed Churches.

Because of the continued lower level of giving the trustees have been seeking possible sources of grant funding, especially to enable our support of theological education in Uganda which has resulted in one grant this year, and the possibility of two more in the next financial year. We are constantly reviewing what we can and cannot commit to in light of this.

Having due regard to the risks the Charity faces, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The total reserves held at 5" April 2025 is £24,376 which is made up of the following: Unrestricted funds £12,957 Restricted funds £11,419

Public Benefit

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have regard for it in their administration of the Charity.

Clearly, much of the Trust’s work is benefitting those outside the UK. The regeneration of whole communities is being helped considerably by the growth of churches, schools and orphanages in poorer, rural areas of Uganda. Many people who are not members of churches become involved in the work and help to develop it as well. It is not only members of the churches who benefit.

The training of pastors in Uganda heips to develop the work and service of thousands of Christians across that country for the good of their communities. The same may be said for churches in the UK. Through both education and the partnerships forged with overseas churches, the considerable benefit is generated for those members of churches participating in the work of the Trust. This, then, develops deeper commitment and greater service in the communities in which the participating churches live and work, We continue to be grateful to God and his people for their support of this work. It continues to encourage churches and their members both in the UK and in parts of Africa.

Plans for Future Periods

The aims and objectives of the Trust remain true to the general objectives of the Trust,

that is:

The Trust plans to achieve this through the continued provision of three theological training courses in the years 2025-2026 which are funded through the ongoing initiative; ‘Boost 100’ which is well supported in the UK.

in addition to this, the Trust continues to provide child sponsorship to a large number of children, which pays for improved living conditions for children, many of whom are orphans, as well as paying their school and examination fees for the coming year.

The Trust also continues to provide pastor sponsorship for around 12 pastors who require support with living costs as a result of seeking vocational work in their pastoral! duty. This support will enable churches to maintain a pastor for the year 2025-2026 whilst knowing that the living costs of the pastor and family are maintained.
