Achievements and Performanc¢
In line with th¢ three years, strategic Pla￿ th¢ priorities for the fmancial year ending 30th of Sept¢mb¢r
2021 were:
l. Continuing raising emergency and relief funds to help victims of ongoing civil war in Tigray
region of Ethiopia.
2. Conlinuing refurbishing and assessing the ￿SSIbIlity of developing the TDA House 50 that
futur¢ rental
income will be sustainable and m￿lmi5Cd. and
3. Recruiting more members and volunteers and executing other administrative tasks promptly.
In th¢ first six months of the financial year. i.¢., October 2020 to March 2021. concerted effort was
made to execute the objectives mentioned above. During this period. about £267,813 was raiscd for the
emergency and relief to help victims ofongoing civil war in Tigray. The fundraising was made possible
by the aclive participation of volunteers from London and outside of London, in the major cities such
as Manchester. Birniingham and Bristle. This was achieved despite th¢ challenge5 of the lockdown
during thi5 period.
The fund raised was s¢nt to Tigrny in ￿11 via TDA North Ameriw a sister charity organisation re81S-
tered in the United States.
The team delegated to investigate the refurbishmentld¢v¢lopm¢nU of building continued its preliminary
study and recommended that a structural engineer be employed to oss¢ss the condition of the stn]¢ture
so to determine whether renovationld¢v¢lopment can bc carried out without Changing the structure. The
¢xpert asse5sm¢nt is yet to be conducted.
Reserye Poliey
The trustees hav¢ ¢slablished a policy whcreby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should not be
mor¢ than th¢ amount Ihat would be enabling lo carry out 3 to 6 months, main tasks of the organisation.
At this light, thc Trustees feel they would be able io continue the current level of reserve. without risking
of a financial drop down. that would hamper or change the course of charity's main work. At pr¢s¢nt
the unrestricted reserve, which amounts to £84,131. does not reach this target and the M&nagement
Committe¢ is considering ways & means of raising the unrestricted funding to & reasonablc Icvcl.
Plans for futu
Stralegic Plan
The trustees have developed three years operalional strategic plan and fundraising strategy, which will
enable thc organisation to forcscc and, sustain thc services by securing funding from different sources
charitable funders to carry on its charitable objects, to participat¢ in emergency and relieve activities to
support the people of Tigrdy devastated by the ongoing Civil war and to support the reconstruction of
schools as well as health facilities in Tigray.

The accounting policies adopt¢d by the charity are detsiled under Note #IO of the financial statements.
There have been no changes to the accounting policie5 nor to its auditing system during this period.
