Middlesex. TW1 4SX 020 8240 4000 https://www.stmarys.ac.uk/strawberry-hill-overseas-community-concern/shocc.aspx ## **Bankers** Lloyds Bank plc, PO BOX 1000, BX1 1LT ## **Charitable Objects** Following discussions at meetings during 2019 and 2020, the Charitable Objects of the charity were amended and agreed upon by the Trustees at a meeting on 30th June 2020. They were accepted by the Charity Commission on 7[th] July 2020. The Objects now read: To advance in life and relieve the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable individuals in the UK and overseas by: - advancing their education, - providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate fully in society. 2 ## **Background and approach** Strawberry Hill Overseas and Community Concern (SHOCC) is the official charity of St Mary’s University, Twickenham, London. It is a UK charity working with vulnerable individuals in the Twickenham area and overseas. The charity was founded in September 2007 replacing its predecessor Strawberry Hill Overseas Concern (SHOC) which began in 1971. SHOCC is a relatively small charity working with trusted partners, individuals and communities that have demonstrated need and have clear goals. We support projects financially and provide appropriate tailored advice and encouragement. Our projects illustrate what Paul Vallely (2021) termed “reciprocal philanthropy” where we have an ongoing relationship with our partners, treat them with respect and have an empathetic approach, aiming for projects quickly to become self-sustainable. We have few administrative costs and 98% of donations go to our projects. Projects that might receive financial support are submitted for consideration to the trustees. Projects put forward need to have a link with the university such as through a trustee, member of staff, student, or alumni. Trustees seek funds to meet these needs by making bids to funding bodies and seeking financial support from individuals. Trustees are also responsible for placing the work and success of the charity in the public domain. They do this through a newsletter, by maintaining the charity website, by using social media such as Facebook, Instagram and other means. While SHOCC often provides the main funding contributions, its projects typically feature contributions from the beneficiary communities themselves. Since 1971 staff and students have committed themselves to a period of work overseas or have worked on a voluntary basis with local disadvantaged groups. Since 2018, the charity has organized an annual volunteering programme funded through a Catenian bursary. This enables students to work for a short period at one of our overseas projects. An examination of projects funded since 2007 has shown that SHOCC has provided nearly £1 million for 62 projects in locations as far apart as Twickenham, Guatemala, South Sudan, and Tanzania. In keeping with our Charitable Objects, four-fifths of our funding has been provided for education-related projects with most of the remainder given for health and humanitarian relief such as responding to Covid-19 pandemic demands.

We were able to provide £58,861 in funding for 23 projects. As in past years, costs were kept to the minimum and 98% of our income went directly to projects. The total funds received during the year were a reduction on the previous year. [see Figure 1]. As Table 2 shows, we continued to support projects in Kenya, Richmond, South Sudan, Uganda, and Tanzania. **Table 2.

5 We continued the major exercise carried out during 2020 and 2021 that examined our financial situation since we became a registered charity in 2008. We used an industry classification of donors as shown in Table 3 below. The results show that our Just Giving campaigns and one-off donations provide over half of our funds followed by single donations of above £5,000, Corporations, and Trusts. Funding sources that we hope to develop further are Legacies and Give as you Earn. ## **Table 3 Sources of funding 2007-2023** |Just Giving

This involved providing a project brief and background and analysing the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts for each project. It was not felt appropriate to make use of the Social Return on Investment (SROI) approach to the measurement of impact. Instead, we prefer to obtain photographic evidence and anecdotes from 6 beneficiaries about how SHOCC’s activities have affected projects. This has proved to be a very valuable exercise. We have added each Story of Change for both current and completed projects to our website. An example of the Story of Change for the completed St. Marie Eugenie Girls’ Secondary School at Moshi, Tanzania project is shown below. **Stories and case studies, with descriptions and anecdotes from beneficiaries** - “During my four years with the Assumption, I have seen many personal changes. I became a courageous girl, a free soul, open-minded, honest and loyal. It has added value to my life as a girl chasing dreams. A proud soul of the Assumption”. Student and now a businesswoman (2011-2014) - “I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the Assumption Sisters because 4 years’ experience with the Assumption family has helped me to grow educationally, spiritually, mentally and socially and has brought a very positive influence to my life. Be blessed”. Student (2011-2014) - “2011-2014 was my greatest moment and I learned a lot; health, education and spiritual life. Also, I learned to put God first in everything, to LOVE everyone and help others who are in need. Since "Love never says I have done enough" and always St Marie Eugenie wanted her people to "Be the cotton between sheets of glass to keep others from shattering". Student and now a medical laboratory technician. - “2011-2014 was a great experience. 4 years with the Assumption family has been a blessing. Education life, spiritual life and social life were always fulfilled with pleasure. A proud soul of Assumption family”. Student. - “I have learned a lot about being a good and spiritual girl, self-love and how to live with people in any society. Education life and spiritual life were so perfect and I was able to apply them in every situation in my studies and life in general. Also being in St Marie Eugenie helped me with the issue of languages Kiswahili, English and French and I am very competent in them. Am so glad and proud to be a member of the Assumption family. Student 7 ## **The project managers of some of our current projects** SHOCC is a small charity working with partners we trust. Our projects are initiated by our partners and when we recognise the need for a project, we will support it financially and provide advice and encouragement. We have developed an ongoing relationship with our partners, treat them with respect and have a two-way, empathetic approach; helping them to help themselves. Our partners responsible for four of our current major projects ensure that our funding is used wisely and carefully. Sister Dee Smith Fr Ibiko Morris Sister Schola Fr Peter Kway Hospicio Santa Maria Christ the King Refuge Kisaki Girls’ School St Jude’s Academy Pajapita Guatemala Tombura South Sudan Singida Tanzania Mto Wa Mbu Tanzania l ’ b d b ## **Snapshots of some of our current projects** ## **Santa Maria Hospice, Pajapita, Guatemala (Sr Delia Smith)** **One of the kitchen gardens team prepares plants for a HIV family’s garden** In late 2023 SHOCC helped Sr. Dee to write a bid for funding to Arcaid, a parish charity in Farnham. The bid was successful and Sr. Dee received £2,000 to construct 5 kitchen gardens and to repair the roofs of five family homes. Work began immediately and was completed in early 2024. With the kitchen gardens project, each family received plants and compost from the hospice farm. The project team then visited the selected families and prepared the land and planted the young plants. Family members were trained in how to look after the plants including watering and applying fertilisers. The house building project worked to replace the roofs of five poor, HIV+ families thereby providing better living conditions. It is hoped to obtain further funding to enable the project to be expanded in 2024. ## **Christ the King women’s refuge, Tombura South Sudan (Fr Ibiko Morris)** Thanks to a further kind donation of £5,903 from a university alumnus, it was possible to complete the construction of six new classrooms at Christ the King kindergarten school. The project began in 2018 and, since then, nearly £100,000 8 has been donated to upgrade the school. Pupil numbers have increased, absenteeism has declined and pupils no longer have to stay at home during the rains. The previous thatched classrooms leaked and it was impossible to hold lessons. Some of the funding was used to add classrooms to the primary school. The parish of Effingham and Great Bookham kindly provided £10,000 to furnish the classrooms and they have committed to providing a women’s refuge and fees for orphans studying at the school. This project will start in 2024. **Pupils parade at assembly in front of their new classrooms** ## **Kisaki Girls’ Secondary School, near Singida Tanzania (Sr. Schola)** A concert and silent auction were held in November 2023 at the university to raise funds to furnish the new dormitories at Kisaki. This raised over £6,000. One of the government conditions placed on the school prior to its opening was for proper accommodation to be available for all pupils. The school opened on January 6[th] 2024. Since SHOCC’s first donation of £3,250 in 2015 to help fund the purchase of the land for the school, SHOCC has donated £131,264. This has paid for a tube well, classrooms, toilets, dormitories and the science laboratory roofs. This is one of the few girls boarding ’schools in the area and will take most of its intake from the Sisters of the Assumption primary school at Iguguno some 20 miles to the north-west. SHOCC hopes to be able to continue to support Kisaki for many years to come and SHOCC trustees will attend the official opening, hoped to be held in 2024. **A view of the corridor outside one of the classrooms. A disabled access ramp has been provided** ## **St Jude’s Primary Academy, Mto Wa Mbu, Tanzania** SHOCC has been involved with St Jude’s Academy since 2015 when scouts from Cleveland constructed the first two classrooms. Since then, we have funded another five classrooms and seen pupil numbers increase from around 70 to over 450. Results in the November 2023 Form 4 national examinations placed the school, third in the District. Overall, SHOCC has donated just over £65,000 for the development of the primary school. In 2022 we started fundraising to construct a large dining hall next to the school kitchens and thanks to a most generous grant from the Loyola foundation in the US, the dining hall has been completed. 9 In August 2023, the SHOCC Chair completed a charity cycle ride over 80 kms to celebrate his 80[th] birthday. This raised £8,500, sufficient to provide 300 chairs and 50 tables for the new dining hall. Pupils enjoy a lunch of ugali and beans in the new dining hall. The hall can hold all 450 pupils and is also being used for District examinations, community meetings and staff meetings. ## **The Vineyard Community and other charities supported** During 2023, SHOCC continued to support local charities such as the Vineyard and Spear. It did so alongside with the Sisters of the Assumption and raised over £5000 for these and for the Turkey earthquake appeal and the Ukraine. The latter was raised at a concert held in the Waldegrave Ballroom and was used to fund weekend training sessions at Lviv university for teachers working with traumatised pupils in their schools. By so doing, SHOCC was able to deliver on the extra ‘C’ in its name; that of helping to meet the needs of the disadvantaged in our local community. ## **Plans for the future** The main objectives set for the year 2024 are: - To continue to support our Global South projects such as those at Orkilili, Mto wa Mbu and Kisaki in Tanzania, Kampala in Uganda, Tombura-Yambio in South Sudan and the Santa Maria hospice in Guatemala. - To seek to widen our links with local charities and provide funding to meet their needs. - To continue to expand our donor base through Give as you Earn, the Charities Aid Foundation and our Just Giving campaigns and to investigate the opportunities for obtaining funding from a wider range of Trust Funds and Corporates. - To continue to raise funds through sponsored events in and around the University. - To raise an income for the year of at least £100,000 from a diverse funding base. A breakdown of targets for each of our projects for the year is given below: ## **Projects with funding targets** - Christ the King women’s refuge, Tombura, South Sudan £50,000 - Outspan school Kampala Uganda £20,000 10 - St Jude Thaddeus school Mto Wa Mbu Tanzania £20,000 - Local area projects £10,000 ## **Structure, governance and management** SHOCC was founded in September 2007 and has been governed as a Registered Charity (number 1120787) since that date. It replaced the existing charity, Strawberry Hill Overseas Concern (SHOC) founded in 1971. It took the opportunity when becoming a charity, to widen its remit to take in local as well as international projects. It revised its Charitable Objects in 2020 seeking to focus more closely on education. ## **Trustees** Trustees are selected by the existing trustees in accordance with our Trust Deed and according to the skills and experience required for the charity to function well. New trustees are inducted into their roles under the guidance of the existing trustees and with the help of the relevant publications of the Charity Commission. As well as becoming familiar with the charity's objects, values, mission and ways of working, trustees are encouraged to visit projects whenever possible to see at first hand the work of the charity. During the year to 31st December 2023, SHOCC had eight trustees. In 2016 we accepted ex-trustee David Leen’s offer to act as independent examiner to review our annual accounts. We welcomed two new trustees from the local university with skills in the field of education. We continue to be grateful to the university’s chaplaincy, who provide us with considerable support. During 2023 we continued to hold some of our meetings online and these took place using Teams and Zoom. These were held to review the work of the charity, to agree forward plans and budgets and to determine other matters of general policy. ## **The operation of the charity** Strawberry Hill Overseas and Community Concern (SHOCC) currently does not make use of office space and has no overheads of this kind. Its management is in the hands of the Chair of Trustees. Trustees and the supporter group, operating from the university, make a wide range of valuable contributions. Regular donations are received from annual events such as chapel collections, from sponsored events and from individual donations through Give as you Earn or to the charity’s Just Giving sites on the web. Contributions to the charity’s work are also received from past students. 11 ## **Public benefit** In exercising their powers and duties, the Trustees have due regard for the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. The charity's activities give rise to identifiable public benefits, both in the UK and overseas. Strawberry Hill Overseas and Community Concern’s focus is on education for the disadvantaged in its local community and overseas. For them, the benefits are clear. Providing sums of money for classroom construction or for the building of an HIV/AIDS hospice can be the starting point for wider development. Wherever possible, we encourage the local community to help meet the costs of projects as this gives them ownership and helps to make the projects sustainable. Their contribution often takes the form of providing the labour required to carry out construction work. Our funds can never meet all the costs of a school and input from the local community during and after construction is essential. As an example, we have asked parents and parishioners at St Jude’s Primary school to provide 10% of the overall costs of classroom construction. ## **Risk management** As a grant-awarding charity, the main area of risk is the extent of our commitments in relation to the funding of our projects. The charity seeks to limit commitments to a level which can be met out of funds available to it. Funds cannot be provided unless they are available and projects are made aware of the time it may take to meet a commitment in full given that SHOCC is a relatively small charity. All projects must have a distinct and recognizable link with the university and funding is not provided for applications that do not meet this criterion. For large projects such as that at Christ the King, St Jude’s or Kisaki, a local project manager is appointed and a contract negotiated between SHOCC, the project and the contractor. Three quotations are usually required for projects of this size and a separate bank account is mandatory. SHOCC agrees a timetable for the work and regular tranches of funding are only delivered on the successful completion of stages of the work. A proportion of the funding (usually 5%) is retained and is only paid to the contractor after the completion of the project, subject to it being signed off at this time. In assessing individual projects, the Trustees consider the following aspects of each proposal for funding: - The significance and importance of the project in relation to the charitable objects of SHOCC and the mission and values of St Mary’s University - Some form of link with the university, its staff, students and alumni - The need for and benefit/impact of the project to the community in which the project is based 12 - The viability/sustainability of the project in the medium/longer term i.e. will it require future investment or will it be self-sustaining? - The likelihood of the project proceeding to completion and achieving its aims - The value for money of the project taking into account the funds that are being requested in the light of the potential benefit/impact of the project and the likelihood of accessing related/other funding if required. The risks inherent in each project are assessed. In particular, the following aspects are considered: - The capability of the partner organisation to carry out the project and the effectiveness of its operations - The commitment of the beneficiary community to the project - The technical soundness of the proposed works and their sustainability after completion - The validity of the budgeted costs and the timescale proposed for the project. ## **Financial review** The annual accounts show a total income for the financial year ending 31st December 2023 of £79,576 (2022 £159,583). The total expenditure by the charity on its project programmes was £58,861 (2022 170,888). The charity had no project support or governance costs and had no fundraising costs. The majority of expenditure went to school building projects in South Sudan and Tanzania and to providing fees for children at a school in Uganda. A small amount was provided for local Twickenham needs. Details of some of these projects are provided elsewhere in this report. The financial performance of the charity is monitored against agreed budgets with the trustees receiving regular statements of income, expenditure and reserves held. The level of reserves is kept under regular review. The Trustees have agreed to keep this figure as low as possible as the charity has no overheads, and wishes to distribute its income to projects as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, on no account can the charity be allowed to manage a negative overall budget and projects are only supported when funds are available. Reference is made in the financial statement to those funds received for specific projects (restricted funds). These are held for the purposes agreed with the donors and are expended to the relevant programmes. In the accounts for 2023 restricted funds accounted for 99.2% of total income; a small increase from the 95.6% in 2022. Cash reserves at 31[st] December 2023 were £25,072.51 (2022 £4,357.48). 13 I declare, in my capacity as a Trustee, that the Trustees have approved this report and have authorised me to sign it on their behalf.

**On accounts for the year** December 31" 2023 **Charity no** 1120787 **ended• (if any)** j > **Set out on pages** 1-2 1 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 31/12/2023 ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts m accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145( 5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent** **examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below") which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordanee with section 130 of the Charities Act: or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content or accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 accounts to be reached. : _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ \ . -"--- - .,...,,......._ ", /', '- - **Signed:** I \ ~~\~~ / <: \. ...: **Date:** **Date:** 5 October 20 ~~24_~~ -, **Name:** D Ceen ## **Relevant professional** Fellow or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England & 'Vales . **qualification(s) or body** **(if any):** -- **Address:** i 77 Link Lane _Wallington Surrey SM6 9DY **IER** 1 **Oct2018**
