NIGERIA HEALTH CARE PROJECT
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023
Additional governance issues:
Methodist Church Nigeria provides information and advice about health facilities that we support. Other information and advice is provided, from time to time, by the Global Relationships Team, Methodist Church in Britain.
Funds are distributed through Methodist Church Nigeria; each centre is required to present an annual report including a financial report as a condition of further funding. A group of trustees should visit these centres triennially. The Covid-19 pandemic, followed by a period of worsening insecurity has prevented visits to Nigeria during 2021-22. A visit to Nigeria by Trustees is scheduled for November 10th - 26th of 2023.
The major risk is the misappropriation of funds in Nigeria, this is minimised by the maintenance of audit trails for funds sent via Methodist Church Nigeria to the places we support.
NHCP’s participation in the 18 month mentorship programme for small Civil Society Organisations run by the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) and funded by UK Aid finished, as planned, at the end of 2022. The aim of the programme was to enable organisations to improve their governance, partnership working and ability to apply successfully for external grants. As a consequence of this programme we have:
• Renewed our existing policies (financial control, safeguarding, equality and diversity, health and safety, complaints) and added volunteering policy • Committed to establishing better monitoring and evaluation systems, with the help of an external consultant, in partnership wit Methodist Church Nigeria
-
Developed a more in-depth partnership with the leadership of the Methodist College of Health Technology, Ebenta-Okwokwu, Oju LG
-
Benue State
Travel in Nigeria by trustees and trainers carries particular risks. Risk assessments, including close attention to current advice for travellers from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, are completed before each visit.
Objectives and activities
Purpose:
To promote any charitable purpose, for the benefits of persons living in Nigeria, which will assist in providing particularly, but not exclusively, health care services and facilities.
Aims:
-
To support the local Methodist Church Nigeria leadership in providing health care facilities and trained personnel in areas of Nigeria which have poor or non-existent services as an expression of our common Christian love and discipleship
-
To work with the Nigerian diaspora to raise awareness and funds for the above cause
-
To work with the World Church Relationships Team of the Methodist Church in Britain to continue a creative partnership with Methodist Church Nigeria
-
To be good stewards of our financial resources
Objectives:
Trustees have held two strategy days and appointed a strategy group to take forward key objectives identified as part of this ongoing strategic review. The four outcomes of the first strategy day were:
-
Raise the profile of NHCP and build a strong online presence for NHCP
-
Focus on primary healthcare
-
Build effective working and communication partnerships between all stakeholders
-
Continue our focus on healthcare education and training
More detailed work has followed, focusing on improving communications, developing more fund-raising initiatives and improving our monitoring and evaluation.
Succession planning:
Paula Dawson has taken the lead for education and training as learning coordinator. Jide Majekodunmi is website coordinator. Trustees are still seeking a social media coordinator and someone to take over the administration of the charity from David Cundall, the current coordinator.
Activities:
i) Fund-raising mainly, but not exclusively, from organisations and individuals connected with the British Methodist Church e.g. coffee mornings, talks, distribution of leaflets, church services etc. The number of talks given has reduced drastically as a result of the pandemic. Sustaining our level of giving to Nigeria has become increasingly dependent on legacies. These have proved to be transformative in enabling infrastructure projects in Nigeria but are unpredictable in their timing and amount. NHCP needs to get better at applying for grant income and we are actively seeking ways of doing this. ii) Allocation of funds to Nigerian health facilities based on visits by Trustees to Nigeria; information from annual reports and correspondence; information from Methodist Church Nigeria. The grants are used by the various centres/clinics to: a.Facilitate building programmes b.Facilitate purchase of medical equipment c.Fund medical and support staff d.Provide support for the mentally ill e.Purchase medicines f.Facilitate inspections of facilities by the Medical Board of Methodist Church Nigeria g.Provide health care education iii)Collaborative learning with health workers in Nigeria iv) Improving the understanding of Nigeria and its health care needs by talks, leaflets, correspondence and via the charity’s website Encouraging a wider national network of people to prosper this work.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
Report to the trustees/ members of Nigeria Health Care Project on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2023.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records 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 evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.
Basis of preparation:
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Recognition of Incoming Resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Incoming Resources with Related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.
Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the tax reclaim is received.
Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants
This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.
Gifts in Kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income receivable.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts and is described in the Trustees' Report.
Donated Services and Facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

13. RISK ASSESSMENT
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
14. RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
15. PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit.
