REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's principle objective as set out in its trust deed is the provision, maintenance and advancement of education for the disadvantaged children of Kampala, Uganda.
The charity intends to achieve its objective through the provision and maintenance of the orphanage
Development activities and achievements
During the year the trust has raised funds through appeals. The funds are then transferred to the not for profit organisation in Kampala, which has built and is now running an orphanage for the benefit of the people of Kampala.
The trust is associated with a charity, which is established in Uganda; Ugandan charity law closely follows the charity law of England and Wales. One trustee of the UK charity ( R A Arien) is also a trustee of the Ugandan charity.
Funds are regularly transferred to the Ugandan charity and the UK trustees receive a monthly statement of account showing income and expenditure, and a weekly narrative report. By this means the UK trustees are able to monitor on a regular basis the progress of the orphanage and expenditure of the funds remitted.
In addition, the Chairman of the UK charity is currently based in Uganda and is able to assess on a regular basis the work of the Ugandan charity; he in turn reports to the UK trustees.
The UK trustees are satisfied that funds raised and transmitted to Uganda are expended for the purposes as stated in the charity's governing instrument, and for which purpose the funds have been raised.
The trustees have had regard for the charity commission guidance on Public Benefit. The activities of the charity are such that there is no limitation on the public beneficiary within the geographic constraints of the charity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of the transactions and financial position of the charity
During the year the charity had net incoming funds of £48,398 which were added to reserves brought forward. The total free reserves of the charity at the year end was £126,588 for use in future periods.
Risk Assessment
The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and consider that holding excess funds in a bank deposit account gives some return on capital whilst ensuring funds are available should they be required.
Reserves policy
It is not the trustees' intention to accumulate reserves, however whilst the project is being developed funds are only released as the trustees consider prudent.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity was established by a trust deed dated 28 June 2001, it's governing document being it's trust deed.
Organisational structure
The charity operations are conducted by the trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE GREENLAND SCHOOL AND ORPHANGE APPEAL
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Greenland School and Orphange Appeal
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Greenland School and Orphange Appeal (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 content 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.
