TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT 2021
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the financial period 2021. Ndi Moyo’s governing document is a constitution dated 25" August 2005. The charity is constituted as a charitable unincorporated association. The trustees are appointed by existing trustees after careful consideration of the skills required for the governance of the charity.
Objectives
The principal aims of Ndi Moyo are to promote the physical and mental health of the chronically and terminally ill in the Salima area and adjacent districts in Malawi. This objective is achieved through the provision of financial assistance, support, care, education and practical advice provided through the Ndi Moyo Palliative Care Trust (NMPCT) at the Ndi Moyo Palliative Care Centre.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
Achievements during the year
Our financial year is now in line with that of Ndi Moyo Palliative Care Trust in Malawi and follows the calendar year.
During 2021, Covid-19 has continued to influence all health providers, including those in Malawi. Most of the staff at Ndi Moyo have been affected by the disease but fortunately all have made a good recovery. Some activities remain curtailed, particularly those which involve gatherings of people, such as the Memorial Day, patient party and twice monthly day care. Clinic visits have continued normallyand home visits have resumed. Patients are seen outside where possible but, where bedridden, are attended with our nurses wearing fully PPE, not easy in a tropical climate.
The annual Initiators’ Training Course in Palliative Care is an important part of Ndi Moyo’s work in disseminating these skills throughoutthe country. Prevented by Covid for the last two years, the hope is to run the theoretical part of the next course online, followed by placements in teams at Ndi Moyo. The Clinical Nurse Tutor has visited Uganda for training in running an online course.
Although enquiries continue, travel restrictions have meant that no volunteers have been able to visit Ndi Moyo during 2021. We hope to welcome more in the coming year.
During the period covered, we transferred a total of £97,200 to Malawi. Of this £58,000 was from unrestricted funds for core costs and £39,200 from restricted funds for a vehicle and for salaries.
Funders
With the Covid situation, all charities have struggled with fundraising and most such events have been cancelled. This has been as true in Malawi as in the UK. In Malawi, it has not been possible to hold fundraising events such as the golf tournament and the corporate funders who have been approached are reluctant to deliver. It is also a concern that another major supporter of Ndi Moyo in Canada has had to reduce its funding. Ndi Moyo needs to help fill those gaps until the situation starts to improve, hopefully in the next year.
As Ndi Moyo UK, we owe a debt of gratitude to our regular supporters and some who are new, who have been very generous in giving extra donations during this period. Many of these have been channelled through the Big Give annual Christmas Challenge which continues to be a very successful focus for fundraising here. New trustees have helped to raise our profile in newsletters, Facebookand

Instagram and been able to enter dialogue with Malawi management on effective corporate fundraising. Special mention should be given to the generous support of the Brian Murtagh Trust, who have for some years now provided pledges which have enabled the Big Give campaign to take place and our many supporters who have donated through this or contributed monthly. We thank a kind donor for funding the salaries of senior staff and Laurence O’Kane, a pharmacist in Draperstown, continues to be extremely generous in his help. Ireland has provided us with a numberof dedicated supporters, including those inspired by Maureen Morgan, until recently one of our trustees. This continues a challenging time for both frontline workers in Malawi and for all charities, in the UK and elsewhere, to raise funds so we greatly value their help. As ever, we are grateful to our trustees and the ‘Friends of Ndi Moyo’ for their time and input. As the UK charity evolves, we look forward to a further year of challenge and development, hopefully with less restraint by Covid.
Charity Regulations
Trustees of Ndi Moyo UK have made every effort to comply with changes to UK Charity Law, developing and adopting Safeguarding, GDPR and Privacy Policies. We owe a debt of gratitude to Barbs Brooks-Smith and Dave Gardner for IT help in implementing these and for ongoing support with our newsletters and website.
Financial Review
The results for the year ended 31* December 2021 are set out in the attached financial statements.
Reserves policy
The Trustees review Ndi Moyo’s reserves policy regularly. The policy adopted by the Trustees is to maintain unrestricted reserves of not less than 50% of the budgeted annual expenditure of the NMPCT. The NMCPT’s budgeted annual expenditure for 2022 in Sterling terms, excluding a restricted fund of £20,000 from NMUK, is £116,000. NMUK unrestricted reserves at 31% December 2021 were £136,189 representing 117% of NMPCT’s 2022 annual budget. The Reserves position will be discussed at our forthcoming AGM to consider the possibility of making further grants this year.
Trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting practice.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit for the period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; e state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures being disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis (unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation).
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding steps for the detection and prevention of the assetsof the Company and hencefor taking reasonable fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Ndi Moyo
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ndi Moyo (‘the Trust’) for the year ended 31% December 2021.
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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charities 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
-
e 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.
