Achlevemonts and Performan
In Summary
Despite ongoing financial pressures caused by the cost-of-living crisis, we are grateful for the
faithfulness of our partners and supporters. In 2024, £340.607 was received in donations, enabling
conlinued support for 13 communities across Africa, with 1,173 children receiving the Three Essential
Services. These services are delivered through the efforts of 181 local Care Workers, whom we
support and encourage.
We are also delighted by the response lo our 2024 challenge to organise novel fundraising events,
which have raised over £6,000. Notable mentions include the Biggleswade Cubs Loo Push for
Mafambisa and George Green's Highland Trek for Malakota.
Two of the UK-supported communities
Zwelisha in South Africa and Msengeni A in Eswatini
graduated in 2024. This is a significant milestone, indicating thal the local church is now sustainably
caring for the most vulnerable in their midst using their own resources. We anticipale taking on new
communities in 2025 as part of this ongoing journey.
We also supported two crisis situations: harvest relief across various countries. and the conflict in
Goma, DRC.
Volunteers
In 2024, 31 individuals volunteered with the UK office, and over 50 Advocates Se￿ed as champions
for Hands at Work within their own churches and organisations.
Two UK volunteers continued serving long-term in Africa. Although the number of UK volunteers in
Africa has fallen. it is exciting to see the continuing growih and development of young African leaders.
Hands al Work has always seen the rose of overseas volunteers as like scaffolding. a temporary. but
essential tool in building a structure and leaving it stronger than upon arrival.
The charity helps support these volunteers by providing and encouraging partners to provide
emotional and prayer support. The charity also raises funds for and provides regular and ad hoc

Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (continued)
Year ended 31st December 2024
financial grants to volunteers that help enable them to serve in Africa.
International Visits
Three UK-based teams and fNe sets of visitors travelled to communities in South Africa, Eswatini,
Zambia, and Malawi. These included a new partner from Southampton visiting South Africa and
Eswatini. a Bristol church team travelling to South Africa. visitors from the West Midlands spending
time in Zambia, a Bedfordshire church team returning to South Africa and specialised visits, including
nurses supporting Child Health Assessmenls in Malawi and a volunteer assisting at farms in Zambia.
We also welcomed Dan Waspe, a long-term UK volunteer based in South Africa. back to the UK for
three weeks, His visit was an encouragement to our partners, volunteers, and supporters across the
country.
Whilst needing to be strategic with our visits to Africa in order to honour our responsibility as good
stewards of the environment. our partnerships emphasise that relationships remain central to our work
both within Africa and in our International Offices.. establishing and nurturing connections wilh
partners and supporters is key to fostering long-term commilment and support. At the same time,
Hands al Work is committed to mainiaining an outward focus. This is evident in the work of Advocates
reaching oul lo potential partners through the 'each one reach one, approach, and in our shared
attentiveness to the most vulnerable within our own communities,
Gatherings
The UK National Gathering in Birmingham in October was our best attended and it was especially
valuable to have strong representation from Afrlca who all contrlbuted to the dlscussions of our work
and plans.
Hands UK Lead•rshlp
The Gathering also marked the significant event of David and Jane Newsome stepping down from Ihe
UK National Coordinator role. Their dedication has been pivotal to the progress of Hands at Work in
the UK. a sentiment echoed throughout the Hands at Work global community.
Flnancial Review
Income from donations in 2024 was £340,607, a sllght decrease from £343,524 In 2023. The reduction
in one-off gifts reflects broader economic challenges, yel our regular supporters and partners have
remained steadfast, enabling us to continue our core work.
We maintain a reserves policy to ensure the financial sustainability of the charlty and lo allow us lo
respond to urgent needs in Africa. Full details of our income, expenditure. and reserves can be found
in the accompanying financial statements.
