Achievements and performance
For most of this reporting period, the 80+ children in the village
and in our Youth House were able to continue their educational
journeys and the vast majority achieved remarkable results, most
of them moving into either trainee positions, College or
University. Those that were working paid regular visits to Hope.
The staff maintain regular contact with all of our Children,
including those that are married and those receiving our outreach
support to ascertain their wellbeing and safety.
Summary of the maln
achlevom•nts of tho charlty
durlng tho year
The Kindergarten provision was closed and the staff were moved
into supporting our outreach work with local young people and
the elderly. HOPE stsff, volunteers and visiting providers do a lot
of cultural and sporting activities with the young people as well
as all children attending suitsble schools for their particular
needs. All young people are individually placed into school,
training and further education according to their individual needs,
abilities and aspirations.
The garden at HOPE provided much needed fruit and vegetables
and HOPE worked well with the local government initiatives with
regard to planting crops.
Our retired mothers, who live in our Mother's home, are able to
provide support and supervision for the staff and children,
stepping in to support whenever needed.
HOPE continues to thrive and is a centre of excellence for Group
Foster Care and continues to be used by many local social work
colleges for student placements, talks and visits.

It is my responsibility to-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charrties Act,

examinerfs statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charrty and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes considerats.on of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from th8
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit. and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true
