Para 1.20 | PROJECT ACTIVITIES HEALTHCARE ASFA Physiotherapy Centre, Nyaruguru District RWANDA PROJECT OBJECTIVE - to establish a sustainable Centre of Excellence for people with disabilities by delivering high-quality physiotherapy and rehabilitation services. Impact • The centre now provides residential rehabilitation for 18 paediatric inpatients per rotation, improving mobility, independence and quality of life for children with moderate to complex needs. • Reintroduction of occupational therapy services in February2025 has expanded |
holistic care, supporting children to develop daily living skills and greater independence. • Outpatient services are operational and ready for expansion, increasing future access to rehabilitation for the wider community. • Building and infrastructure improvements at the centre have enhanced safety, hygiene controls and the therapeutic environment for children, families and staff. • ASFA Physiotherapy Centre worked with the Clinton Health Access Initiate (CHAI) and Rwanda Biomedical Centre assessment to assess over 150 children under six years old, enabling early identification of rehabilitation needs and timely referrals. • Recognition by the National Council of People with Disabilities in December 2024 validates the centre’s role in promoting inclusion, accessibility and disability rights in Rwanda. EDUCATION G.S. Rusuzumiro School, Nyaruguru District, RWANDA Impact • School lunch co -funding improved attendance, reduced dropout rates and supported children’s concentration and learning, particularly for the most vulnerable students. • Provision of 350 Health Insurance Cards for the sixth consecutive year enabled lowincome families to access primary healthcare, reducing illness-related absences and, in some cases, saving lives. • New school nursery tables and chairs ensured every young child has an appropriate learning space, improving comfort, engagement and classroom participation. • Outdoor play equipment, the first in the village (!) supported early childhood development through play, enhancing
physical, social and cognitive skills for the youngest learners . G.S. Muganza School, Nyaruguru District, RWANDA Impact • Installation of lightning rods significantly reduced the risk of injury and damage during severe thunderstorms, directly protecting approximately 1,350 students and 50 staff. • Increased awareness of lightning safety has improved preparedness and confidence among the school community, contributing to a safer learning environment. • The school library built in 2019 continues to benefit students, employs one librarian and benefits 1,350 students. Umuhanga Education Program, RWANDA Impact • Support for 11 students from low -income families has enabled continued access to secondary and tertiary education that would otherwise be unattainable. Progress is excellent and students report increased confidence, aspiration and commitment to learning and community contribution. • Students are developing skills in priority sectors including healthcare, education, agriculture and infrastructure, contributing to long-term community and national development. • Regular monitoring strengthens student motivation, retention and academic progress, creating sustainable, lifechanging opportunities one student at a time.
UGANDA BARCLAYS PROJECT, UGANDA Impact • Long -term educational and living support since 2013 has enabled four orphaned children to transition into young adulthood with stability, skills and prospects. • Consistent educational and living support has reduced vulnerability and created pathways to independence, demonstrating the value of sustained, relationship-based support. • The improved life prospects for these students continues to motivate an incredible UK fund raising team years into this project with grateful thanks. LOOKING AHEAD We will continue to strengthen existing projects while prioritising the expansion of ASFA Physiotherapy Centre services to full capacity. Our focus remains on sustainability, quality of care, and deepening partnerships with government and local stakeholders to extend reach, long-term impact and to preserve the legacy of the centre. SPECIAL THANKS Our work would not be possible without the generosity of supporters and the dedication of our colleagues in Rwanda and Uganda whose commitment, leadership and dedication continue to transform lives. We remain committed to our motto …… `` if you think you ’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!”

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other January 9, 2026 January 9, 2026 |

| 2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. p p g g y benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. |

Para 1.20 | PROJECT ACTIVITIES HEALTHCARE ASFA Physiotherapy Centre, Nyaruguru District RWANDA PROJECT OBJECTIVE - to establish a sustainable Centre of Excellence for people with disabilities by delivering high-quality physiotherapy and rehabilitation services. Impact • The centre now provides residential rehabilitation for 18 paediatric inpatients per rotation, improving mobility, independence and quality of life for children with moderate to complex needs. • Reintroduction of occupational therapy services in February2025 has expanded |
holistic care, supporting children to develop daily living skills and greater independence. • Outpatient services are operational and ready for expansion, increasing future access to rehabilitation for the wider community. • Building and infrastructure improvements at the centre have enhanced safety, hygiene controls and the therapeutic environment for children, families and staff. • ASFA Physiotherapy Centre worked with the Clinton Health Access Initiate (CHAI) and Rwanda Biomedical Centre assessment to assess over 150 children under six years old, enabling early identification of rehabilitation needs and timely referrals. • Recognition by the National Council of People with Disabilities in December 2024 validates the centre’s role in promoting inclusion, accessibility and disability rights in Rwanda. EDUCATION G.S. Rusuzumiro School, Nyaruguru District, RWANDA Impact • School lunch co -funding improved attendance, reduced dropout rates and supported children’s concentration and learning, particularly for the most vulnerable students. • Provision of 350 Health Insurance Cards for the sixth consecutive year enabled lowincome families to access primary healthcare, reducing illness-related absences and, in some cases, saving lives. • New school nursery tables and chairs ensured every young child has an appropriate learning space, improving comfort, engagement and classroom participation. • Outdoor play equipment, the first in the village (!) supported early childhood development through play, enhancing
physical, social and cognitive skills for the youngest learners . G.S. Muganza School, Nyaruguru District, RWANDA Impact • Installation of lightning rods significantly reduced the risk of injury and damage during severe thunderstorms, directly protecting approximately 1,350 students and 50 staff. • Increased awareness of lightning safety has improved preparedness and confidence among the school community, contributing to a safer learning environment. • The school library built in 2019 continues to benefit students, employs one librarian and benefits 1,350 students. Umuhanga Education Program, RWANDA Impact • Support for 11 students from low -income families has enabled continued access to secondary and tertiary education that would otherwise be unattainable. Progress is excellent and students report increased confidence, aspiration and commitment to learning and community contribution. • Students are developing skills in priority sectors including healthcare, education, agriculture and infrastructure, contributing to long-term community and national development. • Regular monitoring strengthens student motivation, retention and academic progress, creating sustainable, lifechanging opportunities one student at a time.
UGANDA BARCLAYS PROJECT, UGANDA Impact • Long -term educational and living support since 2013 has enabled four orphaned children to transition into young adulthood with stability, skills and prospects. • Consistent educational and living support has reduced vulnerability and created pathways to independence, demonstrating the value of sustained, relationship-based support. • The improved life prospects for these students continues to motivate an incredible UK fund raising team years into this project with grateful thanks. LOOKING AHEAD We will continue to strengthen existing projects while prioritising the expansion of ASFA Physiotherapy Centre services to full capacity. Our focus remains on sustainability, quality of care, and deepening partnerships with government and local stakeholders to extend reach, long-term impact and to preserve the legacy of the centre. SPECIAL THANKS Our work would not be possible without the generosity of supporters and the dedication of our colleagues in Rwanda and Uganda whose commitment, leadership and dedication continue to transform lives. We remain committed to our motto …… `` if you think you ’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito!”
