OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Review of the Year

In 2023 New Ways continued to support projects that ore in line with the primary objective of the charity which is to help communities to thrive in the four African countries where the charity supports projects (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and South Sudan) in conjunction with their partner organisation. Since the Cavid pandemic the charity has seen a notable reduction in grass roots support and especially unrestricted donations - this has not changed in 2023. The majority of donations are now restricted which has impacted the support for key projects such as the nursery schools and education programme supported in all four countries, There has been an increase in support from Grant Making Organisations (GMOs), primarily for water projects. The trustees are grateful for all the support provided by our donors enabling the charity to help those in greatest need and the charity will continue to support the primary areas of focus.

This year the charity funded projects valued at just over of £404,000, down by approx. 5% when compared to 2022. Just over half of the funds were dispersed to projects which represent our long-term ongoing projects (nurseries, education, health and agriculture). Funding for our water projects to build the water infrastructure in Turkana (Northern Kenya) represented 45% of our grants in 2023.

In total, New Ways was able to fund 21 projects across the four countries. As noted above, the amount sent to improve the quality of the lives of the people in Africa was just over £404,000. The bulk of the projects we support are based in Turkana and they represented 87% of our project funding predominantly due to 45% of our expenditure being focussed on water infrastructure mostly bore holes. This year Ethiopia represented just over 11% of project spend, Malawi represented 0.5% and South Sudan 2% of total funding. The majority of wafer infrastructure programmes in Turkana were supported by the States of Guernsey Overseas Development Fund and another Grant Making Organisation - these 2 organisations provided almost £100,000 of support in 2023. Of the 21 projects funded, 12 would be deemed small projects, as individually they were all less than £10,000 and together, they totalled just over £43,700 (II%).

In 2023, the charity's income fell marginally when compared to 2022, however, restricted funding predominantly from GMOs continues to be a major component of our income. We received funding from 7 grant making organisation representing 32% of our income (approx. £145,000). Unrestricted funding remains low at 21% a similar percentage when compared to 2022 but significantly down from years prior to that. We were successful this year in raising restricted funding from GMOs and major individual benefactors providing both restricted and unrestricted funding.

The running of nutritional nursery schools in Turkana continues to be a key part of our activities as they are critical projects with the primary aim of feeding children in the age group 2-7 to ensure they grow and develop to reach their full potential. Equally, as this is the first rung of education, we hope that more children will then go to primary school. In this period, there were three main areas in Turkana where the schools are located; these are Lobur, Nariokotome, and Todonyang. In Turkana, on average, each of the nursery classes has 50-70 children attending on a regular basis, therefore the project is covering nutritional and educational needs of over 1,200 children. Payments are made to cover the full running costs once or twice a year. In addition, we contributed running costs of the nutritional nurseries in four areas of Ethiopia, as well as South Sudan. In this financial year, we contributed over£ I 05,000 to the nutritional nursery schools in the four countries with 72% supporting the 20 Turkana nurseries, where funding for two of them is being provided by a GMO. Funds sent in this period were to cover the teachers' salaries, educational equipment, school uniforms and to provide the children with two meals a day whilst attending the nursery 5-6 days a week. This is very important as a first level education for children before they move on to primary school, and ensures we reduce infant mortality in the region. In Ethiopia the funding for the nurseries is predominantly covered by 2 GMO.

Ss NEW WAYS ———————————— IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) —— Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 3 I December 2023 _—

Another key theme continues to be the Education programmes which include supporting two primary schools, as well as student and child sponsorship programmes Their focus is to support children and young adults in primary, secondary and tertiary education in Turkana in Kenya, as well as in Ethiopia. As a result of the success of our Girls Education Programme, supported by a key benefactor for over I O years, we now have over I O young ladies from Turkana attending either University or College in Kenya, the first of which graduated in 2024. A total of just over £61,000 was sent to the educational projects in the period. This included the support for a primary school in Todonyang where the Turkana and Dassanech {from across the border in Ethiopia) live side by side while being educated to promote peace in the area, which is a very important initiative. In addition, the primary school in Nariokotome is supported in partnership with an organisation in London and, we have a key programme in Ethiopia where the children are supported by specific individuals, and this represents 28% of the total spend on education projects. Education is critical in the empowerment of the next generation.

An area of critical importance is the provision of water resources and the development of the infrastructure given the dry and arid nature of Turkana, and the other countries where we operate. As well as being necessary for survival, the availability of water is very empowering and generally enables more children to attend school and encourages agriculture endeavours, Water projects have, therefore, been a long-term theme of the charity. In 2023, we had continued support from GMOs {over £115,0001 supporting water projects in Turkana. Of the funds transferred during 2023 {just over £185,000), almost £42,000 was provided by the States of Guernsey for a water project in Turkana to build two earth pan dams. In Turkana, we invested in the water infrastructure, including the drilling of 3 bore holes in the Lobur area and 2 in Todonyang area, These 5 were partly funded by US registered charity, Buy I Give I {BIG 11, plus a number of UK GMOs. Our water projects will continue to provide the local people with a source of clean drinking water, which will be available throughout the year, ensuring that they are able to take care of their own personal needs, as well as their animals, on which they rely for nutrition. Having bore holes in a village also ensures more girls go to school.

There were a number of other small infrastructure programmes including provision of solar lamps in Malawi at a significant discount, which enables the students to study in the evenings and for families to spend more time together. This programme is supported by BIG I.

The provision of key health services in Turkana is a very important and ongoing aspect of the work of our partner organisation as it is not currently provided by the local government. We supported three projects with funds of £44,000 being sent this year to Turkana and South Sudan. The primary project is the Nariokotome Health Programme where we cover the running costs of medical aid that is provided to the remote villages and outstations on a regular basis. New Ways provides 20% of the total budget with the rest of the funds being provided by a European NGO, The government does partner with us to provide vaccines and retro viral drugs, Malaria remains the biggest issue for the local people especially in the rainy season. In addition, we supported a similar programme in the Lobur area of Turkana. A major supporter of our health programme is BIG I. We also funded a project in South Sudan to cover the cost of employing a nurse in their health programme. This project is supported by an NGO.

There are a number of other projects covered in the financial information.

The administrative support costs of the charity were just under £25,000 {similar to recent years) and are retained at such a low level due to the important volunteer support the charity has organised and maintained. Additionally, there are governance costs of just over £5,000. Together these represent under 7% of the gross income of the charity. The majority of the administration costs cover two part-time resources, including a bookkeeper and an individual who makes applications to GMOs. We aim to ensure that the bulk of the funds we raise go to helping the people in the four countries we operate in, We continue to save funds due to the very high level of volunteer support in running the charity, including the CEO. We also have over 20 volunteers in key activities providing support to the charity, further reducing costs and maximising the spend on projects,

———_____ Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

During 2023 the majority of our projects were monitored largely by fhe New Ways chair and vice Chair who reside in Nariokotome, Turkana (Northern Kenya) and are the representatives of our partner on the ground in all four African countries where we work. They also act as our relationship manager with the partner organisation in all countries. Almost all of our projects are managed by members of the MCSPA who are also members of New Ways, are well known to all directors and who live permanently in either Turkana (Kenya), Ethiopia, South Sudan, or Malawi. They ensure that we receive good quality financial reports on how the funding is spent. We also raised just over £62,000 from our regular giving programme (similar to 2022). In 2012, we established a relationship with Buyl Givel (B 1 G 1) a US registered charity with an administration base in Singapore that enables small and medium sized businesses to give to charities in an effective manner. This has been a very positive and supportive relationship and in 2022 we raised just over £35,000 through them for various projects mostly for the Nariokotome health, bore holes in Turkana and our Ethiopia nurseries. This is down significantly from the previous year,

STRATEGIC REPORT

Investment policy and objectives

The Charity holds all its funds on short-term deposit with its bankers.

Reserves policy

In the Trustees' view, the reserves should provide the charity with adequate financial stability to meet its running costs for a minimum of one year and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives in the short term.

The trustees propose to maintain the charity's reserves at a minimum level of £50,000 and have done so having regard to its manner of operation and of likely funding streams.

The trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity's continuing obligations as a minimum on an annual basis and more regularly if necessary.

Future plans

The Board of Directors have agreed that our focus and key themes remain unchanged working closely with our partner organisation. Our key projects continue to be the provision of first rung education and nutritional support via maintenance of nutritional nursery schools in Turkana (Northern Kenya), Ethiopia, and South Sudan. As well as a range of education projects predominantly in Kenya and Ethiopia. The provision of health care in Turkana remains a long-term commitment of the charity and we will give some support in South Sudan. New Ways will continue to fund community-enabling and social services projects supported by benefactors and other trusts.

Infrastructure will be a significant aspect of project funding in 2024 with a focus on water in Turkana, predominantly due to the funding programme from a GMO and individuals. Additionally, the States of Guernsey the are providing funding for the building of 2 earthpan darns. Our long term donor will continue to support building of the Development Centre in Nyangatorn, South West Ethiopia.

Ultimately, support for the projects we would like lo fund will very rnuch depend on the funds raised frorn GMOs and benefactors. We are now able to host our project managers so they can visit donors to discuss the projects they are implementing. We will focus on working hard to raise as much as possible. All projects are designed to empower the local people and ensure they have the tools to thrive.

The budget for the financial year to end December 2024 remains ambitious and is over £500,000 but final funding will depend on what can be raised.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards !United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice I.

In our opinion the financial statements:

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUK) (ISAs IUK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or colleclively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report. other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Page 7

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of New Ways fa company limited by guarantee I

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion;

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit,

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page8

i Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of New Ways la company limited by guarantee)

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion, Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, inciuding fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to;

Page 9

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of New Ways la company limited by guarantee)

reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Charity Commission, and the company's legal advisers,

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed,

————————— Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 1021 '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 1021 (effective 1 January 20191', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

(a) Donations

Donations are included in the year in which they are receivable and the amount can be measured reliably.

(bj Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

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.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the company's assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £100 are capitalised, including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation has been provided on the tangible fixed assets at an annual rate of 15% on the reducing balance method, so as to write off the assets over their estimated useful life.
