Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
-
�. There were a number of trips made by UK directors to Africa in 2025: Roger London visited Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda; Glenys London visited Uganda; Alastair and Lorraine Patience visited Sierra Leone. The main purpose of these visits was for ongoing training of our teams, Lifewater distributions and monitoring, Africa Youth Award activities, assessing the ongoing work in those nations and to encourage the national teams.
-
Spiritual Transformation training programmes were held in various countries in which Transformed International (TI) is working, including Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, DR Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia. This programme continues to enable the training of many church pastors and leaders from across the Christian denominations.
-
The two-year teaching and personal development programme for young people – the Africa Youth Award (AYA) – continued in several of the countries in which Transformed International is working, including Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Zambia, South Sudan, DR Congo and Kenya. Glenys London and Alastair & Lorraine Patience were able to visit a number of AYA groups on their visits to some of these nations. The process of registering all AYA groups online continued throughout 2025.
-
TI continued to financially support nursery schools (for children ages 4-7) in eight of the countries in which our national Watchmen International (WI) teams operate.
-
The Lifewater distribution Project continued to move ahead with both Village and Kyaka II Refugee Settlement distributions taking place. The Lifewater Villages programme continues to be sponsored by the Aall Foundation, and the Refugee Settlement programme is sponsored by Water Works, Australia. The two trips made by UK director, Roger London, to Uganda, included Lifewater distributions. In January 2025, two of our sponsors from Water Works Australia visited Uganda to assess the work in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement. Activities also began in a second Refugee Settlement in Nakivale, Western Uganda. Monitoring of many homes, schools and health centre, that have been recipients in Lifewater programmes, continued to take place on a 5 monthly basis led by our local Lifewater teams. The results from these monitoring exercises continue to be extremely encouraging.
-
Apart from Africa Youth Award groups operating in Juba, and a Watchmen International nursery school being established there, little other activity was carried out in South Sudan due to the continuing unstable political situation in this country.
-
Funding for the ministry expenses of the indigenous National teams and for the support of the nursery schools was transferred to the relevant National teams on a bi-monthly basis.
Future Plans - 2026
-
�. Trips by UK Board members are planned to a number of African countries, including Uganda, and Sierra Leone, in order to encourage our African teams as they move forward with the Spiritual Transformation training, the Africa Youth Award programme and Lifewater Projects.
-
To continue Lifewater Village Projects in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Sierra Leone. Monitoring and evaluation of the projects will continue to be carried out by our Lifewater and AYA monitoring teams.
-
Both the Spiritual Transformation and AYA programmes are to be further developed in the nations where they have been established. An online interactive version of the Spiritual Transformation training programme will be launched early in 2026 with the aim to reach many more nations around the World.
-
Support will commence for a nursery school in Kailahun, Sierra Leone, in January 2026. Further observation and inspection visits will be made to Transformed International supported nursery schools, by Bernard Makoba, our Ugandan Schools Supervisor, in the countries where we are working. Teacher training will also be taking place in Kenya and possibly elsewhere.
-
Ongoing fund-raising for Lifewater and the Africa Youth Award through deputation / conference work / sponsored events, will be undertaken by UK Board members and other supporters as opportunities arise.

Structure, Governance and Management
Trustee Selection Methods
The trustees are chosen to bring a wide variety of skills to the charity management. Trustees are selected on the basis of the sharing of the vision for the charity and whether their skills are those needed in order for the charity's objectives to be advanced.
Any new appointment is considered by the trustees in their regular meetings and one of their number is deputed to approach the individual concerned. It is intended that in future new trustees will be required to shadow existing trustees prior to their appointment. New trustees are encouraged to engage in a suitable period of training.

Transformed International Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Transformed International Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Transformed International For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Transformed International (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
�. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
