A WORD FROM THE CHAIR
Welcome to our annual report for The Boo Charity, showcasing the remarkable achievements and impact made during this period.
The sustainability of our charity has only been possible through the incredible voluntary support in the UK, our dedicated partners in Kenya, and our generous donors. Together, we raised a total income of £128,623 through the Boo Charity Ball, Charity Golf Day, Silent Disco, child sponsorships, corporate partnerships, and Rotary support - all enabling meaningful and lasting change for those most in need.
We would like to give special recognition to Bournemouth North Rotary Club, whose generous funding through the Marjorie Gorman Fund enabled the complete rebuild of the KIMMTA educational centre (completed in 2026). Along with the support of Norco Composites & GRP, to secure a permanent piece of land for the Nyamache Life Skills Centre shamba.

MISSION AND VISION
The Boo Charity is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children living in poverty in Kenya. Our mission is to fund projects that provide access to education, healthcare, and social support, empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future. We envision a world where every child can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.
THE BOO CHARITY
YEAR 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2024/25 1. NYAMACHE – “LIFE SKILLS”- PROJECT
Nyamache Life Skills Centre is wholly owned by Boo Charity Kenya and fully funded by The Boo Charity UK. This project is located in rural western Kenya and delivers vocational and life skills training in dressmaking & tailoring, hairdressing & beauty, welding & fabrication, business & IT, and agriculture.
We continue to fund all aspects of the centre, including teachers, materials, utilities, food and learning resources. Training is delivered in line with Kenyan governmentrecognised certification standards, equipping students with qualifications to support employment or entrepreneurship.
THE BOO CHARITY
YEAR 2025
This year has seen a continued focus on sustainability and local ownership. The centre’s shamba provides food for daily student lunches while generating additional income through the sale of surplus produce. Towards the end of this financial period, we secured funding from Bournemouth North Rotary and commited funded from Norco Composites & GRP to secure a large shamba, rather than relying on renting. This was secured in the summer of 2025, with the first plantation happening towards the end of 2025. Alumni engagement has also grown, with former students returning to deliver mentorship and share skills free of charge.
Income-generating activities (IGAs) and school savings have funded key improvements, including a new perimeter fence installed in February 2025 to enhance site security, and the tiling of the computer lab and welding theory classrooms in April 2025, improving the learning environment.
In November 2024, 85 students graduated across all courses, with larger cohorts expected in 2025 as two-year programmes complete. The initial enrolment for 2025 was at 104 students, demonstrating steady demand across all disciplines.
Nyamache continues to demonstrate a sustainable, skills-led model - equipping young people with practical tools to build independent livelihoods and support their communities.
Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £42,306

YEAR 2025
2. NYAMWANGA & BUSIRE – “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECTS
Nyamwanga and Busire are two rural, state-funded primary schools located in western Kenya. Both operate in highly impoverished areas where access to consistent nutrition and early years education remains a challenge.
At both schools, we continue to support early childhood development (ECD) by funding daily school meals, alongside contributing to cooks’ wages and essential provisions. We consistently see that access to a reliable food source is critical - without it, children struggle with attendance, concentration and overall development.
In 2025, our support is reaching 379 children across both schools (187 at Busire and 192 at Nyamwanga), compared to 555 children in 2024. This change reflects a shift in school intake and attendance levels.
Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £8,640
THE BOO CHARITY
YEAR 2025
3. KIBERA KIMMTA - “EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT” PROJECT
Located in the heart of Kibera, Nairobi, KIMMTA supports vulnerable children within one of the world’s largest informal settlements. Our focus remains on early childhood education and ongoing youth support.
Our funding continues to support 75 pre-schoolers with daily school lunches, as well as subsidising teaching staff, learning materials and running costs to keep the centre going. Due to our ongoing support, the centre can provide a safe, well-lit environment for over 300 teenagers in the after-school program and mentorship.
A significant milestone this year was the rebuild of the KIMMTA learning hub, made possible through funding from Bournemouth North Rotary. Whilst funding was received in this period, construction didn’t begin in October 2025 and was completed in early 2026, creating a safer, more effective space for education and community programmes.
Total funds towards this project for the period amounted to £5,040
THE BOO CHARITY
YEAR 2025
4. KIBERA KIMMTA - “FOOTBALL PROJECT”
Sport remains a key tool for engagement, mentorship and community cohesion at KIMMTA.
In April 2025, funding raised through the Boo Ball, supported by Groveley Precision Engineering Limited, enabled the delivery of a six-day football tournament during the school holidays. The tournament engaged 31 teams and approximately 500–600 players, across Under-13 and Under-15 boys’ and Under-15 girls’ teams.
The tournament spanned 6 days of the holiday period which is often a time when children are highly vulnerable to negative influences within the harsh environment.
Total funds for event: £1,800

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution on the legacy being received.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by the volunteers.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution on the legacy being received.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by the volunteers.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
