Annual Trustees Report
For the Year Ended 31st March 2022
This year 2021/2022 was a tough year and a very fruitful year with a little local travel, but no overseas travel due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The fruitfulness resulted from local people who were trained and equipped by us in the past, stepping up to do mercy missions to the poor, the elderly, and needy communities in the UK and Ukraine.
Odessa Province and providing for the orphans and homeless children there. This facility is watched over by the local brought in over the last months of 2021. In January 2022 the remodelling and extensions to the House of Hope resulted in the House being five times bigger in capacity. This was approved by the local Odessa Council and with donations that concerned and compassionate people have given, we have been able to provide for the building and furnishing costs to eventually house and care for over 200 children and teenagers.
resources to be sent to people and projects of need through the year.
Ukraine was in lockdown as a result of the spread of COVID-19 in 2021 and so we ploughed on with bringing homeless in humanitarian work, kept finding orphans and bringing them into the House of Hope under the guidance of Child Protection Services. Each week teams of workers travelled to many villages in the Odessa region to meet the needs of the children and elderly poor people with survival packs of basic food, hygienic toiletries and medicine.
Finance for medicines, blankets, shoes and warm clothing were again provided by compassionate donors and sent to trained workers, where children were helped with provisions and resources to help them to survive the winter, with adequate heating and medicines. Many orphanages in Ukraine have been struggling in the icy cold winter months, and once again many children with low immune systems, were sick. This caused a lot of concern, but medicines were
Education, reading and study materials were again still a great need to supply this year, even more so since the country areas in the Odessa Province we trained local teams on how to conduct mercy missions, while we provided them with the funds to acquire the necessary provisions. In this crisis period, these local trustworthy teams, whose leaders are known to us personally, have proved themselves indispensable and reliable. There is scope within this charity to monitor this flow of resources and finance and have not found fault with their dealings.
At the Christmas season, we were able to provide warm meals and educational gifts for the children. We undertook to meet the needs of feeding schemes and winter heating for the House of Hope and remote orphanages. In Odessa province the orphans needed a lot of help with personal needs once again with the provision of medicines, toiletries, clothes, blankets and school materials. Then conflict in the region broke out, and consequently we have helped people relocate to places of refuge at this time, all of which has been sanctioned by the local government.
Family Needs in UK and Eastern Europe
The seminars we conducted in the early part of 2020 were again appreciated by the poor and isolated who were struggling with relationship and family issues. We were able to help families in the UK and Eastern Europe with problems in home relationships, marriage breakdowns and needy teenagers and children. Seminars were very popular once again to equip and train counsellors to help others in times of crisis. Some of these seminars have been translated into other languages.
This year was a year of great challenge as well as encouragement to us to be able to help many needy families, children and orphans.
