Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed, based on their skills, knowledge, experience and interest, by the remaining trustees and made aware of a Trustee’s responsibility, the governing document and policies, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the Charity. They would receive copy of the previous year’s reports and a copy of the Charity Commission Leaflet ‘The Essential Trustee: What you need to know’ 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objectives of the trust are for the benefit of persons in East Africa (the relief of financial hardship; the advancement of education; the promotion and protection of good health; and the advancement of the Christian Faith) are being met through our sister organisation Rema Burundi (formerly called Rema Ministries) in Burundi. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

During the year the period the charity received donations totalling £78,585 (including gift aid reclaim) to support the delivery of the outcomes related to the objectives, as above.  £95,325 was donated to the support the work of our sister organisation in Burundi with the same objectives. 

Grants made to Rema Burundi during the period have been used to support the Rema Burundi team in providing health and social protection, capacity building for church and community leaders, economic empowerment, and advocacy including for rights of returnees. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Expenditure in excess of income during the year was £16,740. The trustees consider the level of funds held at the year end (£26,154) to be appropriate for the provision of the continuing financial support in the coming year. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES** 

Law applicable to the 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 that period. 

In preparing the financial statement, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures 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. 

2 



The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2000 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
