Activities, Achievements and Perf0m￿nCe
In planning our giving and activities for the year we kept in rnind the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings and believe this is followed.
King George Vlth Centre (KGVI} in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe, continued to be the specified beneficiary
of donations received during the year, so these are held in the Charity's restricted funds. Total
income amounted to £ 69,296 (2023 - £ 53.908). coming from a variety of sources; individuals,
church groups and grant-makingtrustsfor special projects. Most came from generous individuals
who support King George Vlth Centre through the Charity. Some of these are small monthly sums
indicating a continuing desire to support the children who are the ultimate beneficiaries. We are
very grateful for the generosity of these individuals and all gifts, large and small. are appreciated
and necessary to help KGVI'S work continue. Further detail of major donations is given in Note
I to the accounts on page 6.
Grants to KGVI in response to requests for funds arnounted to £ 72.044 (2023 £ 81,777), and
reserves held at the year-end amounted to £ 27,812 (2023 £ 31.020), to be carried fonvard for
use in future years. KGVI keep5 full records of the use of grants received by Amandla Trust for
specific purposes and passed to KGVI by the Trust. KGVI also takes responsibility for project
reports to donors as well as issuing general newsletters for supporters.
The trustees appreciate the interest of all those who continue to support the charity, including
those sponsors whogive regularlythrough theyear, and wish once again to record their gratitude
and thanks to all supporters. The work done by KGVI continues to be of great importance to the
children who benefit from it and could not continue without support from outside Zimbabwe.
The impact of each economic crisis in Zimbabwe is felt disproportionately by those who attend
schools like KGVI, and local funding becomes harder to arrange. Staff at KGVI continue to work
immensely hard to keep providing for the pupils and are being innovative in working towards
growing locally generated income by sponsored events and selling produce from the centre
gardens. However, they continue to rely on donations from Amandla Trust and many other
supporters internationally to allow the centre to continue to function. Amandla Trust could not
provide this support without the generous donations it receives.
The trustees and other supporters give their time voluntarily, so all fvnds raised are used for the
benefit of the children at KGVI.
Reserves Policy
The trustees do not consider that it is necessary to hold reserves at a specific level as the charity
has no employees, property or commitments other than to provide support as funds allow.
Resources are disbursed only after they have been ￿ceiVed in cleared funds and are not
committed before receipt. Reserves at 31 December 2024 amounted to £ 27,812
(2023 £ 31,020).

Risk Assessment
As part of their risk assessment process the trustees have obtained a copy of the King George
Vlth Centre's Child Protection Policy. which is very similar to that which would be required of
such an organisation in England and have received confirmation from the Administrator that
the policy is adhered to. There have been visits by trustees {at their own expense) to the centre
in recent years and these, together with personal knowledge of the senior management and
access to KGVI'S audited accounts each year, give confidence that donated funds are being
used for the purposes for which they are intended. The Chairrnan. Dr Mike Rodd, continues to
be a trustee of King George Vlth Centre thereby strengthening the Charity's links with KGVI and
knowledge of its day-to-day operations.
The risk of the Charity having insufficient resources to meet its commitments is Managed by
ensuring that no funds are committed until donations have been received.

Basls of Independent My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with General Directions given by
examlner's statement the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting
record5 kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with
those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in
the accounts. and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would
be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the
accounts.
Independent examlner's In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
statement 11) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accountln8 records In accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

understanding of the accounts to be reached
