## **Section B Structure, governance and management**
## **Description of the charity’s trusts**
Charitable Trust Deed dated 30[th] January 2008 Type of governing document (eg. trust deed, constitution) Trust How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company) New Trustees are selected by existing Trustees from parishioners Trustee selection methods of St Mary’s and Holy Family parishes in Derby or others with (eg. appointed by, elected by) relevant experience or who have a particular interest in the Project.
## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**
Page **2** of **7**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about:
- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
- relationship with any related parties;
- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY**
Because the Charity is working with children there is a risk of unacceptable behaviour from the trustees or volunteers who visit Tanzania or of the students in the schools in Tanzania. The Charity has safeguarding policies in place to minimise the chance of this occurring.
There is the risk of money sent to Tanzania being inappropriately used. To mitigate this risk one of the trustees, or another suitable representative of the charity, visits Arusha each year and is able to verify how the donations are being used. This is mainly through meeting many of the different beneficiaries and also receiving letters from students whose fees are being paid, partially or totally, by the Project. Fifty Six students in four schools are currently being supported by the Project. The visitors also go to schools where the donations have helped to build classrooms and a science laboratory.
Our prime contact in Tanzania is a senior priest in the Arusha Archdiocese whom we have known for many years and whom also sends written confirmation that the money has been received and what it will be spent on. Money transfers are bank to bank and written confirmation of payment is received from the bank. All money transfers have to be authorised by two Trustees.
In order to further minimise any risk Project Arusha has insurance through the Nottingham Diocesan public, employers and trustees liability policies through the Catholic Church Insurance Association.
## **Section C Objectives and activities**
## **OBJECTS**

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**
In undertaking the activities to meet the charity objects the charity trustees aimed to comply with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit. The Trustees consider this is demonstrated as follows:
- sponsoring young people to teach in Tanzania for three months
- the young people are able to make a valuable contribution to the students in Tanzania both inside and outside the classroom, academically and culturally
- there is a significant reciprocal contribution made by the Tanzanian students and others to the personal and spiritual development of the young people from the UK
- · the financial donations to the schools, students and some parishes in the Arusha Diocese benefit, directly and indirectly, several hundred Tanzanian students,
- **Summary of the main** their families and their teachers **activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects ACTIVITIES (include within this section the statutory** 1.

2. In addition to the above donation the Project made a further donation of £to help the associated schools in Arusha pay the school staff and maintain the buildings whilst the schools were shut secondary to COVID-19.
3. One of the aims of Project Arusha is to help our parishioners focus on the wider Church by better understanding and addressing the needs of our fellow Catholic Christians in a diocese in the developing world. Helping to raise money to donate to Arusha, hearing the young people talk about their experiences with such enthusiasm, and meeting the visiting priest from Arusha, all help to achieve this aim.
