CLASSROOMS FOR KENYA TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 01.09.24 – 31.08.25
Income
A total of £44,000 was raised
We were once again fortunate to receive another very generous donation from the Peter Woodman Trust.
The bulk of the money from the fundraising activities was generated by the sixth form students going on the trip who, in addition to funding the cost of the trip, have to commit to raise money towards the building fund (£500 per student)
The other main source of income from the fundraising activities came from our Annual Sponsored Walk
Sources of income:
-
Fundraising activities (£27,800).
-
Donation from the Peter Woodman Trust (£16,000)
-
Regular donations (i.e. monthly standing orders) (£200)
Expenditure
A total of £63,600 was spent
Sources of expenditure:
-
£62,000 was transferred to our Classrooms for Kenya – Kenya GBP at the Access Bank in Kitale to build at the five schools selected from our classroom building and building repairs programme. The schools were Kabuyefwe Secondary, Lukhome Primary, Bikeke Primary, Namanjalala Primary and Masaba Special School
-
£474 – Annual Sponsored Walk toilet hire
-
£561 – Just Giving subscription
-
£570 – refunded to student for overpayment
Summary / Future Plans
-
The shortfall between money raised and money spent was covered from our Reserves (£19,500) leaving our reserves at £20,000. We therefore need to have a concerted effort to generate more income otherwise we will have no reserves left.
-
Students and staff once again had another memorable experience and had a very positive impact in the communities where they helped to build the classrooms.
-
There was some discussion about whether we should do something to celebrate the Charity’s upcoming 20[th] Anniversary. It was unanimously agreed that we should and, that a group should be set up to look at what we could do.
