Trustees’ Annual Report (incorporating the Directors’ Report)

Year ended 31 May 2025

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

Governing document

Fountain of Peace Children's Foundation UK (FOP UK), hereafter known as the charity, is a company Limited by Guarantee, governed by its Articles of Association, adopted by Special Resolution on 27th March 2024, It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (England and Wales) and in Scotland. Membership of the company is by approval of the trustees. In the event of winding up each member has agreed to contribute £1.

Objects

The aim of the charity is to make a difference, now and in the future, by generating hope and transformation in the lives of abandoned and/or orphaned babies and children in the Kyenjojo District of Western Uganda, in particular, a Babies’ Home to benefit and serve these children has been built with a capacity of 42 infants. We now possess nine family units, each unit accommodating a family of up to eight children, from three years of age onwards, along with a house mother and nanny.

Structure, governance and management

Related parties

A similarly-named charitable company Fountain of Peace Children's Foundation UG (FOP UG) is incorporated in Uganda, number 92703, and is Limited by Guarantee. Funds raised in the UK are granted to the Ugandan charity, which in turn oversees the operational aspects of the development, as implementing partner. FOP UK and its related Ugandan partner have discrete Articles of Association though their business plans and strategy are broadly aligned. Likewise, a charitable company, registered with the New Zealand Charities Commission (CC number 48465), with whom FOP UK works closely, provides funds for the same purposes as FOP UK in making grants to FOP UG. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by all three parties on 15th July 2014, is in place. Organisation The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The Board meets three times per annum. All aspects of the UK charity are considered, principally in line with the operational function of FOP UG, who issue quarterly management and financial reports, in line with their future planning policies.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Board consists of voluntary trustees who are all practising Christians. Prospective new trustees are invited to join the Board by existing trustees through the recruitment process, which follows Charity Commission guidelines, in making sure there is an appropriate range of skills, knowledge and experience amongst its members. Board members have statutory responsibilities but they receive no remuneration. They also attend briefings and training courses as appropriate. Changes to Board membership over the course of the last 12 months have seen one member depart and two new members added bringing us to our maximum number of nine Trustees.

Existing members approach suitable candidates who are invited to attend a Trustee meeting, initially as an observer, before being formally invited to join the Board following references and other relevant checks Including an enhanced child protection police check (DBS).

New trustees are given an induction pack which includes all relevant constitutional documents, a brief history of FOP UK, governance and any other information relevant to the work of the charity. All members receive a regular copy of the “Governance & Leadership” magazine in order to keep them up to date with their role and responsibilities and are also directed to read the Charity Commission's Governance code.

Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)

Five trustees visited Uganda in January 2025 and undertook an M&E review to ensure mutual agreement with appropriate plans, policies and processes for the benefit of the children, staff and the community around FOP UG, and implement controls to minimise risks. The audit covered the following areas:

Operational: including review of strategy, significant event audits, policies in place, sustainability and maintenance of key asseis Financial: including review of long term financial plan, annual budget, transparency and clarity on expenditure including inspection of UK funded capital projects, robust and safe accounting procedures in place, and prevention of fraud and bribery

Trustees' Report

Safeguarding

As a charity whose primary objective is to fund the provision of care for the most vulnerable children overseas it is incumbent upon the UK trustees to ensure that they, as well as all those who work within or otherwise visit the project, are required to undergo regular safeguarding training, most recently on 12th July 2024.

Continuing education of all UK Trustees is considered mandatory through relevant training courses.

All volunteers who go to the project to assist are required to have an enhanced DBS check to accompany their application to travel. The charity is registered with an approved UK Safeguarding agency to advise on these matters, and also to give ongoing training to the Board.

Risk management

The charity's exposure to risk is constantly kept under review and 'Risk Management’ remains a priority that is reflected in the organisation's attitude and practice towards good governance. A written policy for risk management is in place and is reviewed by the Board on an annual basis.

The risk register identifies risks likely to affect the charity's ability to meet its aims and objectives in areas of Governance and Management, Financial and Legal, Operational and any other external factors.

Systems and policies are in place to reduce or mitigate any risk and these are monitored regularly and appropriate actions taken if required.

Other Written Policies

In accord with the charity's approach to good governance there are also written policies in place (see below) which are reviewed on a regular basis as shown.

The charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

List of policies:

The review dates for FOP UK policies are either annual or every two or three years. The review dates for the policies which are to be reviewed every three years have been staggered to ensure an even split of the number of policies to be reviewed each year.

Trustees’ Report

Achievements and performance

As per last year, we can report that we continue to operate from a solid financial base which, along with the loyalty of our donors, has allowed us to fulfil all our obligations without diminishing our ability to make additional funding available for capital expenditure projects etc. In addition, we can report that our regular donor base has increased by approximately 9% in the reporting year.

As always we aim to fund our operating expenses from gift aid reimbursement. The Trustees are particularly pleased to report that gift aid has covered 100% of our total administrative expenditure for this year.

The Trustees are particularly thankful for the increasing general interest in the charity, from both a practical and financial point of view.

The Trustees have jointly determined that, alongside the core purpose of the charity, both the development of our sustainability programme and the building up of the educational facility at the Rwenjaza Hillside School (RHS) (which also serves the local community) should play a significant role in their planning over the next decade. A substantial amount of our Capital Expenditure funding has therefore continued to focus on these aspects of the future of FOP Uganda. The total funding grants made, for charitable activities, to support the work of FOP UG from 1st June 2024 to 31st May 2025 was £141,622. The breakdown of these funds includes the following:

£2,518 St James’ Church Windows and Doors

£3,254 Two-stance Pit Latrine for FOP Children's Village

£3,398 Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) learning scheme resources for Rwenjaza Hillside School

£5,141 Farmhouse yard development

£16,992 Vehicle for FOP UG Childcare Department

£43,795 Staff Accommodation

£56,172 was paid by way of our regular commitment to the FOP project in Kyenjojo

Trustees’ Report

Rwenjaza Hillside Nursery and Primary School

in line with the purposes of Fountain of Peace the ongoing development of Rwenjaza Hillside School (RHS) is of paramount importance. Approximately 355 children are currently registered with the school providing education to FOP children and those of the local community. The longer term provision of secondary and vocational education is being actively pursued.

The charity continues to take responsibility for covering teachers holiday pay.

Sustainability

The Trustees, along with our FOP partners, continue to actively develop a medium-long term sustainability strategy in line with our overall policy of self-sufficiency at the earliest date possible. We have continued to improve the farmhouse in order to assist FOP UG in their aim to become self-sufficient in food production. The children still participate in the farm and in the family homes they grow their own vegetables and rear free-range chickens.

Acquisition of new sewing machines has allowed for special training to enhance skills. The new sewing centre will provide vocational training for the older children and can be used by the staff to produce uniforms and bedding.

Mothers Matter in Childbirth

----- Start of picture text -----
at € a! see 8 rq he oy
i < J z f ‘ $ roa |
----- End of picture text -----*

The “Mothers Matter in Childbirth” (MMC) project, in partnership with Fountain of Peace, was launched in October 2023 with the explicit aim of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the remote villages of Kyenjojo District, Western Uganda. It has seen over 850 women going through the project thus far with a 100% safety record, reflecting an estimated saving of 70-80 lives. As of January 2025 extra funding has also allowed the launch of a full mobile antenatal programme in these distant villages. The challenge ahead is to ensure long-term sustainability of this project, though funding already achieved safeguards its existence through to the end of 2027.

Volunteers and supporters

The Trustees of the charity and our implementing partner FOP UG, owe a massive debt of gratitude to our volunteers and supporters. Their dedication and commitment provides both organisations with a solid foundation that enables our UK fundraising events and activities to be undertaken and the implementation of the projects to be achieved. To ensure that our volunteers are supported and recognised we will continue to refine our 'Volunteer Policy,’ in the UK.

Reserves policy

The charity regularly reviews its ‘Reserves policy’ which currently guarantees a sum of £30,000 equating approximately to 6 months operating costs (including teachers holiday pay for Uganda). This sum may vary from time to time.

Future Plans

In planning for the future the trustees are actively seeking to add further new partnerships with Churches and Schools, in particular, in order to develop fresh funding opportunities. A period of financial consolidation will be required in 2025/26 to review our requirements for further planned expenditure in the Fountain of Peace village in Kyenjojo.

Page 10

Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation UK

Trustees’ Report

We seek, at all times, to cooperate closely with our Ugandan colleagues in planning and executing the development of new build structures in the Fountain of Peace village. The past months have seen, in particular, an accommodation development adjacent to the Fountain of Peace site to house staff. This will avoid long walks for them before and after work in all weathers, and is increasingly necessary for staff retention purposes.

The initial phase featuring a nannies block is near completion and two further staff accommodation blocks are planned to be built immediately adjacent following the completion of Phase 1, in order to accommodate staff with families.

St James’ Church

St James’ Church has been the local Christian place of worship since 1982. With the growth of Fountain of Peace, the ever expanding Rwenjaza Hillside School, the existence of a Compassion UG project in the village, and a new shared chaplaincy in the community, gradual expansion of the church premises has been continuing over recent years as funds allowed. It has now reached the roof stage and, with the partnership of FOP, a church in the UK has raised a Harvest Appeal for funding purposes. Windows and doors are now in situ and, during the next financial year, it is anticipated the project will see completion, allowing for a far greater missional work in the whole community.

Trustees’ Report

Public Benefit statement

This has been facilitated by partnerships with a number of UK based schools in an educational role, as well as increasing involvement of church and other communities, so enhancing the support received from different types of organisations.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2025

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: 2 Widmore Cottages Asheridge Chesham Bucks HPS 2UY

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 11 July 2025.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Fountain of Peace Children's Foundation UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 18

Fountain of Peace Children's Foundation UK

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2025

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period,

investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
