FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2024. Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

In selecting persons to be appointed trustees, the trustees take into account the benefits of appointing a person who through residence, occupation, employment or otherwise has special knowledge of the area of benefit or who is otherwise able by virtue of his or her personal or professional qualifications to make a contribution to the pursuit of the objects or the management of the trust.

In 2023/24 we made no changes to our group of trustees.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The main object of the Trust is to provide small grants which make a big difference to alleviate suffering from chronic disease and poverty, to people who would otherwise not receive that relief. During the year the Trust has continued to receive donations and to distribute them to the causes commensurate with the aims.

The trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charities Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. During the year the Trust has continued to receive donations and to distribute them to the causes for which it was set up thus meeting the public benefit requirement.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have had due regard for the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit guidance.

Development
Project (SCDP)		 Tamilnadu, India
Turkey rearing to create a sustainable income to
support them to meet medical costs of palliative
care for 25 women affected by HIV in two villages
of Attur Block of Salem District.
The women were trained in animal husbandry, &
supported to breed the turkeys & to use & sell the

sustainable living to support their 75 children &
family members to access nutrition & ongoing
medical care.		 230302 £2,000

Duong Community, Nadowli-Kaleo District, Upper
West Region, Ghana
Project providing materials and teaching 257 girls
to sew their own reusable sanitary products, and
to promote them remaining in education. The
group also learnt sexual hygiene management and
sexual reproductive health and rights.		 230308 £1,500
May 2023 LEPRA- Leprosy

Support for our trusted partners who meet the
needs of people affected by leprosy through
prevention, diagnosis, disability aids and mental
health support.		 £2,000
June
2023		 Skilling for Rural
Communities
(SRUCO)		 Bwatale Community Hospital
Uganda
In June 2023, SRUCO worked with their local
community to instal two 10,000 litre water tanks for
the hospital. The grant from CHCT paid for the
tanks, rain gutter, gutter clips, sand, stones, and
cement. Bricks and labour were provided by
volunteers in the community.		 230304 £1,500
Sept 2023 Centre for
Community
Development
(CENCUDER)		 Cameroon
Installation of a solar power plant at the Barmin
health clinic to improve the care that can be
provided. Until then, this clinic had no reliable
electricity supply nor generator, and in rural areas
like Barmin, about 21% of households have
access to electricity.		 230601 £2,700
Sept 2023 Youth and Women
for Social
Empowerment
(YWSOEE)		 Wakiso District, Uganda
Support for a community based organisation in
Nkonkonjeru cell, Kyengera town council, to
construct a pit latrine at Aspire High School. The
project enabled a wing of latrines for girls, and a
second one for boys, including incineration for
menstrual waste.
Until the project was complete, the school lacked
sufficient latrines meaning that boys and girls were
using the same facilities, which lacked any doors
or privacy, and was at risk of physically collapsing.
Rather than use latrines, children were relieving
themselves on open land, contributing to poor
hygiene and risks of typhoid, cholera, and
dysentery.		 230605 £1,700

Project providing materials and teaching 400 girls

rights.		 230902 £2,000
Nov 2023 Youth & Women
Initiative for
Sustainable
Development
(YWISD)		 Kampala, Uganda
Installation of a solar power system for Bulaga
Community Hospital. The hospital chosen for the
project serves 5 villages with nearly 37,000
people, with 26,000 of them being women and
girls. Prior to the solar installation, the hospital had
no access to electricity, and this seriously
undermined the services available during
difficulties, and especially at night. This solvable
problem had been resulting in the tragic death of
25-40 babies and 20-35 pregnant women each
year.		 230903 £1,600
Dec 2023 Sisters of
Immaculate Heart
of Mary		 Village in Isiolo, Nairobi, Kenya

down in storms.		 231101 £1,800
Dec 2023 The Mustard Seed
Project		 Kenya
Grant given during ‘the Big Give’ who pledged to
double our grant.
In 2022, Kenya’s government said that all 12–14-
year-olds had to leave primary school and go to
secondary school, but there were no new schools
or classrooms to accommodate them. The
government then revised their decision, saying
that some primary schools could keep their 12- to
15-year-olds if they could provide a Junior
Secondary School section. Mustard Seed
fundraised to provide a feeding programme for
their poorest students, and to ensure their school
meets government requirements, including
providing a playground.		 £2,040
Dec 2023 Concord Trust Tamilnadu, India

To provide a tailoring training programme for Dalit
women who are reportedly the most oppressed
group, and face a ‘triple burden’ of gender bias,
caste discrimination and economic deprivation.
They are often displaced and pushed into forced
and/or bonded slavery including prostitution and
trafficking.		 230603 £2,000

Clean Water for Chipunga Village
The community group obtained almost £500 from
their local community, as well as local
contributions to labour, security, and materials.
The project attracted a donation from the
American Embassy to build a reservoir, enabling
the installation of a piped water system, which will
reduce the shortfall of water in times of drought,
and enabling filtration to ensure the water is clean.		 230901 £3,000

Jan 2024 Foundation for

FIDRA		 Alidi, Uganda
To implement a Tuberculosis (TB) community test
and treat satellite clinic in Uganda, where TB is a
leading cause of death after malaria. It is still very
difficult to find those suffering with it, and because
of their severe social stigmatization, sufferers
continue to hide away, living by themselves in
remote huts or at the back of family yards.
Ugandan hospitals screening and treating TB is
counted on one hand, and most victims either do
not know they exist or cannot afford to get to them.		 240101 £2,000
Jan 2024 S.D.K.F. Kampala, Uganda
Purchasing of a year of food items (maize flour,
beans) for orphans and impoverished school
children at Divine Academy Junior and Nursery

Feb 2024 Skilling for Rural

To construct a deep water well for 4 villages,
serving 3500 women and children, with clean
water and sanitation.		 240201 £1,700
Feb 2024 Darudefo Charcoal
Fuel Project		 Kasanga B Village, Kasese, Uganda
This grant helped the group to start a scheme for
compressing recycled agro-waste (including
paper, cardboard, and organic waste) into
smokeless charcoal briquette or pellet fuel. This
would overcome women with HIV/AIDS and their
families having no sustainable source of fuel for
cooking. This would also be an income generating
activity for the women.		 231203 £2,000

RESERVES POLICY

We as Trustees do not feel we need to reserve money in the account as we do not have any overheads. Our policy is to spend the money as we see fit on deserving causes that fit our criteria.

RISK REVIEW

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Charity.
