A challenge f8c8d by TWAM at the end of 2023 and continuing into 2024 is the Rgd S88 Crisi5. This has delayed
our containers but m05t importantly increased our Shipping costs by approx. $2,500 pereontainer. Careful budgeting
and a targeted appeal have helped mitigate these costs.

collection. refurbishment and kit assembling in 2022-2023.
Envlronm•ntal Impact
TWAM has always had its green credentials and sustainability at its heart. We b8li8ve a hammer should rern8in
hammer. so we charnpion reusing tools rather than reryding them. It lakes far lass rèsources to refurbish a trx)I
raiher than recycling it and tuming it into something else.
Therefore. WE'￿ proud thht we have been able-.
To save around 280 tonnes of tools from potentially going to landfill and shipplng them to Africa.
To save over 110 tonnes of tools not suitable for Africa from potentially going to landfill by selling them for
recycling or reuse.
To save nearfy £1,500,000 by refvrbishing and reusing tools, Talher than buying them new.
This all amounts to 1,367.173kg of C02 8mis$ions $8ved evgry yè8T.
Wè believe this all adds up to B superb life-tfansfomin9 achièv8mènt.
In 2022 TWAM won the BBC Radio Suffolk'make a Difference. Environmental Award.
Natlonal Trainlng Programme
In response lo the decision not to pursue the opening of 8 Training and Distribution Cen¢re in Zambi8. TWAM has
embarked on an ambitious plan to Introduce an online and in-person training programme within all the countries we
support. A team of three volunteers and one member of staff have been recruited in the UK to develop the
programme. A survey was sent to all reCi￿ents of TWAM tools over the past thrèè yèars asking..
What tools they would like training in maintenance, repair and safe use
Whether they would prefer online or in-per50n training
Where they could travel to for in-person training and what costs they could incur
Ovèr 200 groups responded and this data was bèing analysed at the of 2023.
The intentson 18 the 'train the trainers, by inviting one person from each recipient group to attend training and then
retum home lo train everyone in their group. This wll indude all trainees who have already graduated and who are
contsctable. The cours85 will also teach bookkeeping, entrepreneurship and strategic planning.
During 2023-2024 training videos will b8 produced in Uganda with pilot in-person training courses taknng ￿8ce in

3hipments. once they reach their destination is supervised by our in-country partners.
TWAM operates a fleet of five vans based in Ipswich, Rugby. Maidstone, Famham and R8dcar. All are staffed by
volunteer driv8rs who cary out collections of donated tools and equipment.
4.3 Cooperatlon wlth other organlsatlons
Wè consider it vttal to cotspèrat& with othèrorg8nis8tions and to support people with leaming difficulties and thg long

TWAM remains In discussion with Nvo UK based charities, one supplying IT equipment and thè other gducalional
books. It is hoped that they will provide equipment to applicants TWAM can no longer supply following the decision

responsibility and su5t8inab¢lity of the projects we support. We are compliant with the requirements of the General
Data Protection ReqU1￿ments and individuals can opt out from receiving frjndraising communications from us.
4.5 Prfnclpal Rlsks and Uncertaintie
As a charity which derives th8 most significant part of its incorn8 from donations by the gèn8r81 public. the 8oard
can never be certain abtrut the level of income to be recewed and has therefore lo manage expenses and overhead
costs accordingly. To guafd against an unfores99n shortfall in incorne. the charity maintains a reserve of £100.000
which the Board has judged adequalg for the purposè.
The Board recognise5that in sending tools overseas, it cannot have direct contml overtheir distribution lo applicants.
To mitig8t8 this risk. the charity works with local pariner organi5ations or NGOS in each COLJlltry, who ovars8è
distribution on its behaw. The risk is further reduced through regular visits to recipients 8nd partners by Boarfl

The charity is h88vily dependent upon the willingness and conb'nued av8i18bility of volunteers to support its work.
Aw)rdingly. the ongoing availability and anlicipaled future need for volunteers is closely monitored lo ansure
$uffi¢ient numbers are available to permit its obj8ctive8 to be rèalised.
4.6 Conclusion
During 2022-2023 TWAM continued to fulfil the ambitious objectives of the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan. TWAM 8150
ntinued thè implemèntation of the Africa Impact Assessment Pro9ramma and began to develop the National
Training Plan. It saw two new countries join those supported and one begin the process of jiining those we serve.
Within Ihg UK TWAM recruited nearfy a hundred new volunteers across all volunteer roles. It is fair to say that
TWAM has had anolh8r rernarkable year.
The Tru5tè8s acknowl8dg& that Blthough the Charity incurred 8 d8ficit in 2022-23, 8$ was budgeted for, TWAM'S
3UPPOrter remains extrgmely generous Wlth donations. and this is allied to ijisciplined and effective controls on
expenditure.
The Board wshes to recognise the work of the CEO, staff and volunteers in 8chieving all of this. They would also
like to acknovAedge the faithfijlness of God in leading TWAM so cleaTIy.
This report shows that TWAM has at its h88rt an ènomious group of loyal people. who ar8 811 prgpared to get
involved. We are deepty grateful lo them all for ￿thout such a level of enthusiasm and supwrt. TWAM would not

THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
One of Mike's significant deasions early on in his tenure was to reduce the number of countries to which we sand

This presentation was reviewed by the trustees. who concluded that this treatment eoLtld be misleading as
TWAM has spent this ￿Stricted cash and satisfied the restriction imposed by thè d()nors. A decision wa$
therefore made to transter th*s8 ba19nc￿ out of restricted funds.
The app￿nti￿ appeal was used to COV8r the costs of a full-lime warehouse appr9nlice employeè. All brought
fO￿ard and additional incoming reslrtcled funds in relation to this We￿ spent during the year. Futur8 funds
relating to the apprentice appeal will be unrestricted in nature.
Going forward, thg only rgslricled funds anticipated ar9 those related to ov8rsea3 freight, which are received in
advance to fund thè transport costs of tool containers.
£100,000 has been assigned to a dèsignated fund as a resèrvè to cover 6 months of running costs rf th8
charity is lo encounter financial difficulty.
