Activities in the UK
Following the lifting of restrictions resulting from the Covid pandemic, visits to churches and other organisations were able to recommence to promote the work of Just Care.
Activities in Uganda
-
The Tower Hill site at Kamutuuza, run in conjunction with the Diocese of West Buganda, was visited during the year by both Trustees and volunteers. The total number of students on the site continues to just exceed around one thousand. The site has a Kindergarten & Primary School (Tower), Secondary School (Bexhill), Evelyn's Home (a primary boarding section for very needy children supervised by a housemother), and associated support buildings. The schools were given extra support by providing 25 sewing machines to support the new curriculum at Bexhill, the primary school kitchen ovens were refurbished, the water supply to the school was secured by completing the purchase of land and relocating the pumphouse and water pipes.
-
During this year again, Just Care was able to give some additional support to the Evelyn’s home sponsored children and their families by delivering food to their homes at Christmas to help alleviate the hardships that the lockdown, and subsequent inflation created.
-
The nursery school at Kitwe village catered for around 120 children in 3 classes, and a perimeter wall was completed to meet the requirements of the local education authority. As the school grew new additional teacher’s rooms were required and work commenced in March 2023 to make this provision. Some feeding support for the neediest families in the village took place as funds were donated for that purpose.
FINANCIAL REVIEW, INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESERVES
There is no formal reserves policy in place, however the charity retains adequate funds for the sponsorship schemes so that reasonable notice could be given to the Kamutuuza schools if the charity were no longer able to continue providing support. Support of the sponsorship schemes remained strong again throughout the year. Undesignated income received is allocated to the Uganda general fund.
The trustees continue to be grateful to all who support Just Care through financial giving.
FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS
None exist.
TRUSTEES
At the end of the financial year there were three serving trustees, listed above.
