Constitution and Governing Document
St George Foundation is a company limited by guarantee and is a registered charity. It was
incorporated in April 2006 and comrnenced activities from l May 2006. Up to the end of
April 2006, the work of St George Foundation was carried out as a restricted fund of Jacobs
Well Care Centre, a registered charity. Members of the charity guaranteed to Contribute an
amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total
number of such guarantees at 31 March 2025 was 3. The trustees are members of the
charity but thi s entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees h&ve no beneficial interest
in the charity.
The governing documents are the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association.
These detail the object of the charity, which is..
(i)
To relieve poverty and sickness and advance education, in particular, but not
exclusively, amongst homeless childien and young people in Sle￿a Leone.
Recruithieni andAppointment of fnlstees
When recruiting trustees, the organisation ensures that the Board has a comprehensive range
of skills needed in order to oversee the activities of the charity.
Triistees elected for the first time must be proposed by a member. Members elect trustees at
the Annual General Meeting. The Board of Trustees must be three or more. Ln accordance
with the Articles of Association, one-third of the trustees must retire by rotation at the
Annual General Meeting and can seek re-election.
Organisational Strncture
The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the overall direction and policies of the
organisation and areas of responsibility are split between the trustees.
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible to the Board for the implernentation of policies
and decisions.
ective
The charity's objective is to raise fvnds in the UK and provide those funds to St George
Foundation Sierra Leone in furtherance of the charity's forn)al objects to relieve poverty

and sickness and advance education amongst homeless children and young people in Sierra
Leone.
When planning the charity's activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Charity
Cornmission's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
During the period the charity has continued to provide funds and support in order to rescue
further children from the streets of Freetown in Sierra Leone. The total number rescued and
helped now amounts to over 1,600 children. The Ch￿ity'S approach aims to prepare the
children for school and future life. Activities at the centre are designed to boost children's
self-esteem, improve concentration, unite them as a family and put street life behind them.
Singing, dancing, sport, simulated school and play-acting fonn part of the intense
programme.
Once a child enrols at the Ch￿lty centre in Sierra Leone, the charity begins a Feunification
process, looking to find and bring together the child with its natural or extended family.
Most of the children rescued so far have been successfully reunited with families or looked
after by foster parents.
The charity in Sierra Leone relocated to Grafton on the outslirts of .Freetowm, in 2007.
having renovated a site there.
There are opportunities to sponsor a child and help pay for their education, details of which
are contained on the website at www. st
eor
efoundation.
Sle￿a Leone struggled to contain the Ebola outbreak, and in October 2014 it arrived on the
outskirts of Freetown. This resulted in a large number of orphaned children being thrown
onto the streets, many of whom have had Ebola and survived.
In November 2014 the charity in Sierra Leone started a programme of taking in these
hildren, and took in over 300 such children. The plan was to feed and clothe them, care for
them. and reunite them with other relations or find and train foster parents, and has been
successfully achieved.
The charity was asked by the government to look after the western rural region of Sierra
Leone, educating the population about Ebola and 5eekino to contain it in this area - a region
of many towns and villages, with a population of circa 250.000. Some assistance has been
provided by UNICEF in the form of transport.
Rescuing Ebola OTphans was concluded in December 2015, largely due to lack of funds.
The charity has also provided funds to help families of rescued street children to start-up
businesses in Sle￿a Leone (the Small Business Initiative), so that they are able to fund their
own children, s education costs.
In August 2017 there was considerable flooding in Freetown, which lead to a large
landslide, causing many deaths and injuries. The charity assisted in looking after survivors,
taking in 20 children and 15 adults, and reuniting them with families.

Unfortunately, similar flooding occurred again in 2018. The charity helped about 100
displaced children, 50 of whom were brought temporarily into the Centre. They have now
all been reunited with families.
The Government took quick action when the first Covid 19 case was discovered. and as a
consequence Sle￿a Leone has not suffered too badly. The charity cut costs and reduced the
number of children at the Centre to 20.
In March 2021 there was a f7re in Freetown causing homeless children. The charity took in a
number of these children, providing food and shelter, before reuniting them with family
members.
During the year to 31. March 2022, the Interim Care Centre and land next door was
purchased, Providing greater security for the charity for the future. As a consequence.
improvements are being made to the Centre buildings, inco4)orating otyices and improved
accommodation.
Action has been taken to fence the land and secure it, and ensure that the children at the
Centre are kept safe.
in
Net Incoming Resources
Unrestricted funds show a surplus for the year of £15,393. This has been achieved despite
the high level of repairs, maintenance and equipment expenses, the purchase of a further
area of land next to the Centre and survey and regi stration costs needed to protect the Centre
and 8rounds.
The unrestricted fund income totalling £105,931 represented a very good increase over the
previous year's £65,840, much helped by a very generous donation of £25,000. Unrestricted
fund expenditure increased by about £25,000 to £90,538 as a result of the additional costs as
indicated above, Restricted fund income, totalled £4,28l with expenditure of £6,585,
leaving deficit of £2,304.
Overheady and Reserves
The Board are committed to minimising overheads in the UK. FOT the year the UK
overheads amounted to £1,987, which was just over 20/0 of totsl expenditt)re. It is hoped that
sufficieni general reserves will be retained to cover ongoin8 Costs, but the Board's policy is
to expend sums raised as soon as possible in achievin8 the charity's objects.
Balance Sheet
The debtors include the 2024125 tax refund of £7,957, which has been received since the
year end. Cash amounted to nearly £16,000.

Plans for the Futur
The number of children at the Centre are around 40. but it i s planned to increase to 50 next
year.
Inflation in Sierra Leone has reduced substantially to around 6Q/o per annum, making it
easier to ensure salaries and other costs are sufficient.
This report has been p￿pared in accordance with the small company's regime under the Companies
Act 2006.
