Contribution made by Para 1.38 Our charity could not operate effectively
volunteers without the significant
but unmeasurable
contribution
made by agroup of
committed
volunteers
in the UK.
Together with the Trustees they
undertake
the many tasks associated
with day to day activities which would
otherwise be undertaken
by paid staff.
We have no paid employees
in the UK. In
addition to individuals
who launch
fundraisin
initiatives,
we have nine
Advocates
and five Trustees who meet
regularly
and arrange
fund raising events
and help to make people aware ofthe
work the charity is doing.
In this
connection, we understand
our
responsibilities
in respect offundraising.
Taking note of Charity Commission
guidance
"Charity Fundraising:
a guide
to Trustee Duties (CC20)",we are
satisfied that we comply with charity law
and best practice.
All events are
overseen
by trustees who are also
actively involved.
All ofthe Advocates
and Trustees have
been to Uganda and have funded their
own visits tosee the work first-hand
and
observe the development
ofthe charity.
Todate 61 people have joined one ofour
Mission visits including
many donors and
sponsors. We continue to offer this life
changing
opportunity
to people.
A founding
trustee, who discharges
all
book keeping duties, is assisted by a
volunteer
when preparing
the year end
accounts and claiming
Gift Aid. Our
unpaid
Independent
Examiner isalso a
volunteer
and asupporter.
She does not
have aclose relationship
with any
Trustee and is not involved
in the day-to-
day administration
or decision making.

financial position at the end
ofthe period Yet again this year, over 95'A oftotal
expenditure
has been on our Charitable
Activities.
The Trustees are proud ofthis
achievement
and recognise that this has
been made possible mainly because
there are no paid staff in the UK. All work
in the UK is undertaken
by the Trustees
and volunteers.
As explained
in the above sections ofthis
report we were not immune
from the
effects ofthe pandemic.
Due to the
Ugandan
Government
restrictions,
some
ofour activities
had to be suspended
and
our school was temporai'ily
closed. With
the gradual easing ofthese restrictions
our programmes
are being reintroduced
and consequently
our expenditure
on
Charitable
Activities has increased as
planned.
675.2Kagainst 668.6K in 2021.

Toaid
clarity, this year our accounts show Gift
Aid receipts separately

R10.5Kand 667.5Krespectively,
against a
combined
figure of676.3Klast year.
The Trustees continue to make donations
according to their personal
circumstances
and this year have
collectively donated 63.7K.
With the easing of UK Pandemic
restrictions,
we were able to reintroduce
some fund raising activities which
resulted
in Fund Raising income up to
61.8Kfrom 60.5K.
Like everyone else in the UK, our
supporters
are affected by the increase in
the cost of living.
However, our
supporters'
base is very well spread and
we are not reliant on any one donor or
group to maintain
income at an adequate
level.
Havin

that atthe time this report is being that atthe time this report is being

from all our

Statement explaining the Para 1.22 During our meetings,
we discuss the
policy for holding reserves need for a Reserves Policy. Whilst we
stating why they are held are well aware ofCharity Commission
guidance, we have decided against
having such a policy at this time. We will
keep this subject before us at future
Trustees meetings

believe
the "amount ofreserves held" figure is
more than adequate

and envisaged
