In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We have focused on advancing the Christian faith through relational ministry and spending time in the Communities in Uganda. We have also kept our focus on sending grants to projects in Uganda where we have seen many success stories where individuals and families are taking steps in elevating themselves out of poverty through the projects. We have grown the cycling project a lot and funding has been allocated specifically at the growth of the new Mountain Bike Park. |
