Staieinent of Recoinniended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance ivith the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Irelaiid published in October 2019. Objeclivcs éthdAciiviliÉs The objects of the charity are to advance any purposes which are charitsble under the laws of England and Wales from time to time and in particular (but without limitation) to advance education and relieve poverty for the public benefit. In shaping the objectives forthe year and planning the charity's activities, the tNstee5 referred to the guidance contained in the Cliarity COm￿ls5l0lI's ¥eneral ¥uidaiice on public benefit wlien reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. Achievemenls andPerformunce Since 2009 the charity has focused on raising funds for Awutu-winton SHS, a senior secondary school in Ghana, 50 km west of Accra. We started wilh an empiy block of land, which has noiv been iransfomled into an impressive leafy campus ivith a lar(Te assembly hall, an impi'essive library, two science laboratories plus a domestic science building and 12 general cl&ssrooms. Through a joint venture signed with the Ghana Education Service most of our teachers are provided for free, but EDP directs operations and monitors sL2ndards closely, and coniinues tl) raise money for new facilities, general maintenance and auxiliary siaff. The sch(iol, which charges no fees, aims to offer a holistic education and provide first-class amenities to promising oungsters from very impoverished backgrounds. With a student population of 500 and class sizes of less than 40 way below the average in Ghana tudent% receive more individual attention. In this way ￿'e can increase their confidence, broaden their horizons, and ensure that they Inake ihe best use of the tal¢nt5 they possess. The school has again seen agreat impi'oveinent in facilities thanks to our donors, events, and projects. We have installed further solar panels as well as batteries at the school to allow the school to be insulated from ￿Wer cuts from an unreliable grid and 10 reduce the ongoing running costs of the school, effectively making the school's energy supply wholly independcnt. A large amount of cricket equipment and clothing has been donated to bi)Ister the sports depaitment. Multiple high-quality instrlltnents have a150 been donated to a5Sj5t in the setup of the music departtnent. Winton Educaiional Development Project Foundaiion (fonnerly known as A wutu Winton Senior High School) is a registered N60 in Ghana. Since 2013, it has produced and filed its own accounts in Ghana, but it is answerable to the UK ¢hariry, which closely supervises its performance Ihrough the Board of Trustees in the UK and a small team of eTnployees in Ghana.
