STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE and MANAGEMENT

Rema UK was established as a registered charity by a declaration of trust dated 8[th ] March 2007 and the Charity Commission registration was confirmed by letter dated 2[nd ] April 2007.

Overall responsibility for the Charity’s activities is vested in the Trustees, who are appointed under the terms of the Deed of Trust.

Trust meetings were held 3 times during 2022 in UK. The chair of Rema Burundi joins the meetings online to report on Rema Burundi. One visit was made by one of the trustees to Burundi in June 2022

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 charity received donations totalling £63,340 (including gift aid reclaim) to support the delivery of the outcomes related to the objectives, as above. £79,028, 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 £15,688. The trustees consider the level of funds held at the year end (£38,18774) to be appropriate for the provision of the continuing financial support in the coming year.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

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.
