SEAN DEVERII UX CHILDREN'S FUND TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Constitution S¢an Devereux Children's Fund is a registered charity- It is registered with the Charity Commission under number 1057777. The charity is governed by its trust deed dated 22 July 1996. OrganisHtion The trustees are the main goveming body of the charity. The trust deed states that there should be at least three trustees and they sliould hold meetings at least twice a year. It is however the practic¢ of the Trustees lo ineet four to five times a year. Recruitment aiid Training of Trustees It is the policy of the TTUStees to recruit new Trnstees when vacancies occur and to select those who are in tune with the ethos of Ihe airns of the charity and can add a positive contribution to ihe charity. New Ti'ustees are appointed at an ordinary meeting of the Trustees, or with requisite notice at a special meeting. Any appointee will have been involved with the work of the charity previously and become familiar with its activity befoir appointment. Rl$li Ass¢$smen¢ The Trustees, approach lo risk assessment is to evaluate where events are to b¢ held, and to ensui-e their is no exposui'e to loss in holding those events, and only coinmitting funds. after due consideration of the viability of the project, for grant purposes that are available to the Trustees in cash. In this way, as the trust has no premises or employees, it can I'educe substantially its risks. The other area of risk for the I'ruslees is lo ensure that funds committed not only reach their destination but also are utilis¢d specifically for the purpose intended, and to minimise that risk. the Fund only works with recognised agencies iii the ficld, from where positive feedback can be obtained. OBJECTS, AIMS, A]¥4D OBJEcfivES Charitable Objects The Chai'ity's '[ rust Deed states its objects to be . 21 in the continent of Africa." .the education and relief of poverty of Children under the age of Aims The principal aims of the Trustees within the objects are to support projects and activitie5 that are allied to the work of Sean Dever¢ux in Africa, and specifically in Liberia, where he spent much of his timc, but also, though not exclusively, other projects supported by tbe Salesians and other missionary 50cietÉes.

Raising money to nd the work of the charity through: Fuiid raising events Secui-ing charitable donations directly from sponsors Use of the Iiiternet Such othei. means as the trustees may deterniine from time to time Id¢ntifying suitabl¢ proj¢cts on which to spend the money raised using a proj¢ct evaluation pro fornia. Monitoi'ing su¢h projects both froin ilie UK and in situ. Projects are monitored locally by.. • TIStee$ visiting ihe pi'ojects from lime to time • The inslallation of local In8nag¢inent comtnittc¢s for projccls • The usc of trusted bodics and individuals to oversee projects Ensuring that tlie charity continues to inaintain an appropriate profile with its supportei's through fund raising events, newsletteis and an active and up-to-date website. These activities al'e undertaken to further the chai-ity's purpose for the public benefit, and having had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit (Reg40-(2) (cxii) and Reg 32(2Xb)(i) and (c). ACHIEVEMII NTS AND PERFORMANCE The cliarity continued in 2024 with its core activity of fijnding the education of around 190 young people in Liberia, In financial terms the costs involved were at the same level as in previous years allowing for inflation. There wa5 in fact a reduction against Ihe previous year owing to a reduced level of project activity (2024.. £34,842 compared to 2023: £ 37,858). The yeai. was also marked by a Trustee visit lo Liberia. The Trustees have great confidence in the people delivering its aiins on the ground in Liberia bul visits on a 2-1 year cycle remain a key part of the oversight of the fund. The travel costs in 2024 of £ 4,292 air viewed in Ihis Itght &s money well spent. On the income side the finances were bolstered by a couple of subslantial legacies. The Trustees have expirssed their gi'atitude to the families involved and take the opportunity to do so again here. The amounts involved will allow the chai'ity to expand its scope in Ihe coming years. Fund raising activity conlinued as nornial with the Salesian College arranging the annual quiz night and sponsoi'ed 'Run for Sean, The Farnham Castle Ball was held for the second year thanks to the generosity of a couple of former classmates of Seaii who make the facilities available free of any charge. This w&s a thoroughly enjoyable evening which brought Èn close to £ 17,000. Alongside these evenls the Fund continues to be supported by its many regular donors. For all the many contributions made, both large and small, the trustees are most gral¢fvl. The projects supported in the year wer¢ all in Libci'ia (confwmed as a note to the fanCIal statements and expanded in the note below). Total grants distr&buted by the nd since its forniation in 1996 now stand at £1,579,000. Page 3

ANfAL REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued) Total graiits distributed by the fund since its fonnation in 1996 now stand at £1,579,000. RlIVIlI W OF ACTIVITIES The Sean DeVtUX Childyen's Fund had anothei- success1 year which saw a bi - annual visit from Trustees to Libei'ia lo review activity across iheir proj¢¢ts there. This was a vY constructive visit wlieit Trustees spent time at the Sean Deveyeux High School. They sat in on lessons wliilst also making ftctive enquiries into the operations of Safeguarding at th¢ School. This was a relatively new con¢¢pt to the team there and it was very good to meet all teaching and support staff to outline the Fund's expectations around ihis subject. Whilst accepting the limitations of distance between the UK and Liberia, it was evident that staff wer¢ keen to learn and understand the requirement5. One of tlie Ti'ustees on the visits liad beei) a teacher and had cu]Tency in th¢ subject and was able to explain the iEquirements. Subsequently. a policy foi. Safeguai'ding has been adopted and a child support officer employed locally at the school who lis able to pix)vide support and counselling for students. Safeguardiiig policies have also been put in place in Tappita and within the Volunteers of Sean (VOS) team, who sei'vi¢e iiumerous students in 70 schools in Monrovia. Again the contents were explained to staff along with expectations and tliis was agaiii well received. The Tappita staff are from the Salesian Order and appear to b¢ very well vei'sed in the topic and have eiicouraged reporting of concerns. Safeguarding is discussed at our Trustee meetings and is & key component of oui. woi'k and governance. VOS have worked hard to focus on identifying the students who were most in need across Monrovia. They were trying to help blind and deaf sludents along with othei's wlio suffei. disabilities. A request for new laptops with braille capabililie5 was approved to help our blind students and they have made a big difference in assisling ihern to make good prowess in Ilieir studies. Having made the very long drive to Tappita - Trustees had sevcral positive meetings with the Salesian Fathers there, who i'equested financial support so that tliey could create a larg¢ agricultural farni on the school campus. Initially they wanted to cultivate 12 aci'es but would eventually wanted to extend that to l 00 acres. Request5 wei'e for equipment to cut back foliage, seeds and implements to turn the ground. An agricultural van built on a small Inotorbike was also requested lo help move produce into the local villages. Students at the school would be shown how to grow cl'ops and get vegetabl¢s grown to feed their families. The Fund approved tl)e financial requests and much progress has been made and the Farni is named the Sean Devereux Memoi'ial Farm. We see this as an exciting project that will be an ongoiiig cornmitment for the Fund. Tappita is very impoitant to the fund, as it was there where Sean taught when he worked in Liberia, and the school had a particular importance to him. Other key projects this year include the provision of solar panels to the roof of die Sean Devereux High School, something that has been long desired. Tliis means that there was now a stable supply of electricity at the school with no need to rely on genei'ators and fuel that they use to keep them operating. It also opens the opportunity up foi. the school to be utilised in the evenings for students and parents to enjoy social and educational events together. It has alre<idy had a transformative impact with much promise for the future. Work has also finally been undertaken to install some pull out partitioning in the main hall. This means that the hall can be divided into two, so that more ¢lassroom space can be utilised for lessons. This had been a real hindrance historically and the provision of some good quality, quiet classroom space has been successfully achieved. At the nearby Folley Town farni, which is by the Sean Devereux team there, thnding has been provided to rebuild a building previously used for cassava production. The building had been badly damaged in a stonn with the roof coming off the building. A toilet wa5 also installed al the farni as previously there had been hygiene and dignity issues for the men and women who work there. Our fuEt two University students were seen during the visit and are both thriving. They had found the transport in to University each day quite difficult due to distance and cost but they had continued to attend each day and wei'e on course to move into their second and third years. Trustees are looking to provide some support to them to aid their studies. Page 4
SEAN DEVEREUX CHILDREN'S FUND TRUSTEII Sg ANNUAL REPORT (Contillued) FOR THEI YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial overview The Statement of Financial Affairs on page 8 shows donations of £191.140 (2023- £25,890) aiid fund rdising events in the year bi'inging in £21,931 (2023.. £21,069). grants made of £34,842 (2023.. £ 37,859) and expens¢s of £8,518 (2023: £8,379). level of donations included two very substantial legacies. The fund had total reserves of £286,220 {2023: £116,509) at the end of the year, of which £nil (2023: £nil) is restri¢t¢d, and £56,757 (2023.. £63.172) is designated. Reserves polley Children enter the scholarship programme on the basis of need. This means that som¢ children enter the progr8rnme when they first go to school and itquire assistance for up to twelve years, while others join one or two years before tliey complete theii. secondary education. There are currently between 180 and 200 chIldn in the programme. When setting a reserves policy for this area of the Fund's work, the trustees were conscious of the fact that, if the pi'ogramme was to cease and all nding was to slop immediately, many of the participants would simply not be able to go to school. This is because the children and their parents are entirely reliant on Ihe programme for the money to fund the childi'en's education. Based oi) the above profile the ttu5tees consider that a cash reserve of £50,000 on the General Fund is sufficieiit. This level also provides cover for any emergency grants the tiustees may wish to make. As a result of the legacy donation5 in 2024 the reserve balance is considerably greater than this baseline figure. It is anticipated Ihal the reserves cuentlY in hand will be utilised in the mediuin term. The ainounl of free reservcs held as at 3 iat December 2024 amounts to £229,463, (2023- £53,337), which is in line wilh the Reserves Policy. Page 5
