JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK) ANNUAL REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Jenga Community Development Outreach (UK) (‘Jenga UK’) has continued in its role of partnering with its sister charity Jenga Uganda CDO (‘Jenga Uganda’) in helping to deliver its strategy in Uganda. This year is the twentieth anniversary of Jenga Uganda starting operations in Uganda.
Jenga Uganda is a non-profit charity which operates in the Mbale area of Eastern Uganda. provides the basic essentials of life to the most vulnerable and needy people in this part of Uganda. Its objective is that through its diverse and sustainable development projects, it is able to equip Ugandans to meet their own needs as well as those of their neighbours and to forever change their communities.
Jenga UK’s part in delivering this strategy is multi-faceted. It is:
-
A key provider of financial resources to Jenga Uganda which it delivers by raising and accepting donations from donors in the UK and providing an effective channel of those resources to where they are most needed in Uganda. This covers funding for both particular projects via restricted funds, and for unrestricted general requirements.
-
A provider of support for the long-term welfare of the Europe based international volunteers in Uganda.
-
A sounding board and provider of advice to the Executive Director of Jenga Uganda in the pursuit of that charity’s strategy in Uganda.
During the year, one of our trustees, Jo Purle, decided that she would run the London Marathon to raise funds for Jenga. She raised an incredible £10,000! On the back of her
success, Jenga UK decided to apply for three Golden bond tickets each of which permits four participants for the Marathon. We were successful with all three applications which means that we will have twelve potential participants running for Jenga for the next three years. We are hopeful that this will provide a meaningful increase in funds for Uganda.
Jenga Uganda’s a team is composed of Ugandan nationals and international volunteers, working together to make a difference. It runs a variety of projects which are bespoke, designed and
implemented by the local community, building on Ugandan rather than Western culture, which provide long term solutions while minimising the need for ongoing support.
The following provides further details of this work.

F sustainable ounded on and guided by our and lasting change. Christian faith Our deepest desire is to, we work for help Ugandan people realise their own potential, so that they and their communities can thrive and not just survive. However we know that nothing we do relies solely on us. We recognise the need for partnership and as one of our core values, we work with both local government and other organisations so that real change can take place.
JENGA operates over 40 diverse community development projects aimed at strengthening local society and offering a practical and tangible representation of God’s love to the people they impact. We serve people of different ages, languages and religions, through programmes based in health, education, income generation and agriculture to name but a few. To read more about our individual projects, please visit our website https://jengauganda.org/project/ for more information.
JENGA works in both the urban slums and the rural villages of Eastern Uganda . Since our inception the majority of our projects have been focused in the poorest and most vulnerable communities around Mbale District. Situated at the foothills of Mt Elgon, approximately 230 km east of Kampala (Uganda’s Capital) and 40km west of the Kenyan border, Mbale is one of the nation’s largest urban areas.
However, as we moved towards our 20th year, we felt led by the Lord to extend our reach beyond the region we have been most active in. We sensed that God was asking us to branch out into

more remote and underserved areas. In obedience to this leading, we have opened up 13 ' Apostolic Centres,’ in 4 neighbouring districts. Within each centre we invited all expressions of church within a commutable distance to come and join us in a unique fellowship of leadership training. By concentrating our efforts on a central source in each key area —where individuals can receive and then carry back what they’ve learned to their communities — we greatly expand our outreach through a simple and easy-to-manage model. We look forward to seeing how this approach grows and develops in the months ahead.

A Note from Our Country Director
My wife Grace and I, along with Robby Keen, first started JENGA in 2005, and we were
encouraged by a number of friends to begin something new and different. The office began at Robby’s home and the community meetings in our garage in Mooni. To begin with we had no big plans other than to serve our God and help people.
This year we celebrated our 20th anniversary from our newly established offices, set on our own beautiful land.
JENGA currently employs 129 full-time African staff, supported by 14 international volunteers, partnering together through multiple development projects to make a difference. Our mission has been to provide the basic essentials of life, for the most vulnerable areas in and around Mbale, and our vision has been to see people holistically empowered and transformed, to be agents of change in their own communities.
I am humbled to say that although we had faith we genuinely did not know we would have accomplished so much, or helped so many, and we are not done yet. There is still much to do and so I continue to call for your invaluable collaboration and support.

A Note from Our Executive Director
WOW! 20 years already? Where did that go?!
If you are reading this you are already one of our friends and probably know our story. Honestly, as Executive Director it has been an honour and a privilege to serve here in Uganda alongside some of the best people that I have ever met. It’s been tremendously hard but absolutely
worthwhile to do what we do. And if I can be a little bold, I think we do it pretty well. Although older and allegedly wiser, (definitely a little more rotund), I continue to be living proof that God delights in using the least qualified and ill equipped ‘to build ’(JENGA) His Kingdom.
And what is His Kingdom? It is love in action.
We all have the power to make a difference, no matter where we are, how old we are or how inadequate we may feel. I can
7
personally attest that doing good, genuinely feels good. So thank you. However you've supported us — through prayer, encouragement, donations, or simply cheering us on — it’s been deeply appreciated and truly essential. Please, help us keep going. Share our story with your friends, talk about what we do in your workplaces, be our advocate wherever you can.
And here’s to another 20 years!
Every Blessing in Christ, to you all, Robby Keen
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 1: 4 - 5

JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK) TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed dated January 2007, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).
Objectives and activities
JENGA UK was established in 2007 as a sister charity to JENGA Uganda, Community Development Outreach. Our mission, vision and efforts continue to revolve around empowering JENGA Uganda to further develop their ministry. All of JENGA UK’s policies serve this purpose.
JENGA Uganda, CDO is a registered Ugandan charity providing the basic essentials of life to the most vulnerable and needy people of Mbale, Uganda. Through diverse and sustainable development projects, JENGA Uganda aims to demonstrate the love of God in both word and deed to the people they serve. Together, JENGA Uganda and JENGA UK are working to equip Ugandans to meet their own unique needs and to promote real, lasting change.
JENGA UK’s vision, which shapes all of our yearly activities and objectives, is to see JENGA Uganda continue to grow, flourish and increase their capacity to shape a better future for the disadvantaged of Uganda. We believe that Ugandans are the most sustainable way to facilitate effective, long-lasting development. Our role and objective, as JENGA UK, is to support our Ugandan sister-charity to the best of our ability.
In identifying our activities and objectives for this year, JENGA UK’s trustees have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The strategies employed to meet the aforementioned objectives are:
Engaging Partners:
Because JENGA UK seeks to serve the wider mission of JENGA Uganda, engaging worldwide partners to support and invest in JENGA’s work is essential. The charity continued to enjoy the support of longstanding and faithful donors. JENGA UK continued to engage with our current partners based within the United Kingdom, as well as to make connections with new likeminded partners. JENGA UK has also worked to develop relationships with international partners based in Australia and the United States.
Empowering International Volunteers:
Although JENGA UK does not officially sponsor or send any international volunteers to JENGA Uganda, JENGA Uganda does receive international volunteers from around the world. JENGA UK feels very strongly that any volunteers working with vulnerable people should undergo a thorough application, screening and preparation process. With the aforementioned purpose of increasing JENGA Uganda’s capacity, JENGA UK has contracted

JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
an outside agency to aid in facilitating the coordination and equipping of JENGA Uganda’s international volunteers, especially those travelling from within the United Kingdom. This includes individual volunteers as well as group-based teams.
Encouraging Honest Communication with Donors and Supporters:
The receiving, processing, reporting and forwarding of UK-based donations is one of JENGA UK’s primary roles within the JENGA network. JENGA Uganda is supported by a large group of donors based in England and Wales. Our desire to handle JENGA’s finances with integrity and openness has encouraged us to continue fostering an open channel of regular communication between JENGA and its donors.
Enlisting our Core Values:
JENGA UK has continued to draw upon our core values to aid in setting our objectives and activities for this year. The ways that we went about engaging partners, empowering volunteers and encouraging donor communication are shaped by the following core values:
• Justice - We believe that God’s call to be righteous is inextricably linked to justice. Righteousness and justice require us to help the vulnerable and defend the weak.
• Sustainability - All of JENGA’s projects and programmes are bespoke. They’re dreamed, designed and implemented by the local community. We believe that Ugandans are the longterm solution to their own unique problems.
• Empowerment - JENGA’s goal is not to create foreign aid dependence. Our role is to help people by teaching and equipping them to help themselves. In all of JENGA initiatives, local communities, partners and workers are essential.
• Partnership - All of JENGA projects are a result of equal partnerships with both local and international partners, where mutual respect and co-operation are the foundations for all activity.
• Cultural Sensitivity - JENGA has never set out to implement Western fixes to Uganda’s problems. Ugandans have their own culture with unique values, morals and motivations. It’s vital that we acknowledge and honour this truth.
Achievements and performance
Please see details in the annual review of what Jenga UK and Jenga Uganda have achieved this year.
Financial review
During the year, the charity received donations (including associated gift aid) of £448,249 the majority of which was to fund specific activities in Uganda. By the end of the year, £424,297 had been transferred to Uganda with £71,579 being left in restricted funds. The balance of unrestricted funds at the balance sheet date was £24,118 which included
£11,989 set aside in designated funds for UK office administration, contingencies and staff and trustee travel to Uganda.
Free reserves as defined by the Charity Commission amounted to £24,118.
10
JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a minimum level equivalent to between three- and sixmonth’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
The charity was established by deed on 10th January 2007.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
M Williams Rev J Purle J O'Brien O Graham M Kim J Webster J Nicholson (appointed 18[th] October 2025)
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JENGA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OUTREACH (UK)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Jenga Community Development Outreach (UK) (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Jenga Community Development Outreach (UK) is a Charitable Trust.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
