Summary of the main
achievements in relation
to these objects
The year October 2024 to October 2025 has been a significant year for
Poole-wau partnership in a number of senses.
Our last visit to Wau was in 2018 and then only 2 trustees went. This meant
that 4 of our working group had never been to Wau and another had not
been Sin￿ 2013. DFscussion began at the 4 July 2024 meeting and by
September an OLrtline plan was made for a visit in February 2025. By the
November 2024 meeting plans were well developed and the fFights to Juba
booked. All 6 members of our working commrttee including the 4 trustees
were committed to the visit. It was planned that 3 of us would do a teaching
programme on Lukes's gospel and the other 3 had spectfic roles in terms of
IT support and planning for future projects. Each person going was self-
funded and there were no costs taken from the tharity's funds for the vistt.
The visit was to timed to coincide with the opening ceremony for the St
John's Extension tyjilding that PWP had funded. £4000 was sent in
September 2024 to build a Veranda to the building and on 8th January 2025
a final £5000 was sent to paint the building inside and out. This was cutting
it fine. and the building was still being painted while we were in Wau- tt was
in fact finished the day before the opening ceremony. We were very
impressed with the srze and qualty of the Extension building- it made all
our effixts in fun&raising for tt worthwhile.
The visit was very successful in every respect apart from one or
drfficulties which were overcome with the help of our friends in Wau. Bishop
Abraham. who was the acting Archbishop, stayed with us during our stay in
Wau and also escorted us on the retum joumey to Juba. We got to know
him well. Although we had had many dealings wrth Philip, the Principal of St
John's college, for some time this was also the first time we y￿re able to
meet him in person. We were very impressed by both these gentlemen and
also by others in their teams. On our retum joumey we met Archbishop
Moses in Juba. The visit has enlightened and strengthened everyone in the
committee and cemented our relationship with our contacts in Wau.
It was fortunate that we were able to spend this time with Bishop Abraham
as, in August 2025. his posthon of acting Archbishop of Northem Bar el
Ghazal was made pe￿nanent. We had had a strong relationship with the
outgoing Archtmshop Moses since the very start of the Poole-wau
Partnership and we hope that this will continue as he now has a permanent
peace-keeping role for the thurch in their interactions wtth the S. Sudanese
Govemment. We will continue to stay in touch wth Moses and support him
where we can.
The most signrficant financial event of the period was the donation of
£40,000 plus gift aid to PWP from a single donor. This was in response to
one of our committee members speaking at the St John's, Broadstone
church about the need for a Bore Hole at St John's in Wau. This was a
game changer as othewse. given our nonnal income. we would not have
been able to consider the dnlling of a Bore Hole. Our contacts in Wau were
requested to get quotes for the Bore HO￿ which they duly did and at the
time of this report were considering them.

lthile this was the most significant event of the year it should also be noted
that we sent £18,000 to support the running of St John's. £2400 to was
donated fund seeds for the famers in Warrap and Wanyok states where
there had been considerable flooding and crops had been destroyed. We
subsequently received detailed reports of the seed purchased and their
distribution among the fanners. £2600 were donated to pay for the studies
of Peter Akook. The funds for the latter were provided by the Presbyterian
churth in N Ireland and w￿re a legacy provision left by K. Heaffl who
supported South Sudan for many years before his death. Further small
sums were donated to support the attendance of a key individual in Wau at
a work-related course and the rna1ntenan￿ of several church related
websrtes in Wau.
In terms of regular income, the annual Holes Bay sponsored walk on 12th
July provided a record £5244 (including gift aid) and J Hudson's sale of
pr¢)duce at 2 garden parties raised £867. Other regular income came from
the churches within the deanery and several individuals who donated by
direct debits.
During the period of this report we held 4 trustee meetirbgs and had further
had ad hoc meetings wtth respect to our visit to Wau in February 2025. We
ran a Teaching Day at a local church in Ociober 2025 utilising the material
we had taught at the Wau conferen￿. INe additionally hetd a 'Vision Day.
meeting in May 2025 to review our trogress as a charity and consider our
future. This is the first time we had done this, and it was immensely
valuable. In temis of communications, we continued to provide regular
Newsletter to our supporters and provided an up-to-date websrte. Several of
our committee members also provided talks on our work to local churches.
We continued to be represented at the Poole Deanery meetings by our
trustees. Mark Rathbone and Rev Penny Draper, who made a number of
presentations on our activities. Our Partnership is underpinned by prayer
and we hekl monthly prayer meetings thrcmjghout the deanery during the
year.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Independent Review of the Poole-wau Partnership Charities Trust 1147425 Accounts for
period 7 October 2024 to 6 Ortober 2025.
I have independently reviewed the Poole-wau Partnership Accounts and supporting
documents for the year to 6 October 2025.
The records for this year show that the Trurtees h&ie kept robust records for all of this year's
transaction5. These indude email trails and supporting receipts for expenditure and
sponsorship forms for income. Details were also provided to explain the purpose and
acknowledge the dangers of payments made to personal accounts and demonstrated
diligence in checking the source of a large donation.
Six members visited Sudan to further develop relationships and to attend the opening
ceremony of the f3cilitie5 paid for by fundraising by the charity- All members self-funded
their trip and it is hoped this will invigorate the work of the d)arity in the future.
Donations to Wau paid for building and painting work; the salaries of teaching stsff at SL
Johns College and the Christian studies of Peter Akook. The charity responded quickly when
sendingfinancial assistance for vitsl food flood relief in a time of great need. These activities
all meet with the ststed aims of the charity.
There has been a continued active profile in local churche5 and newsletters issued. It is 3150
noted that a'vision Day. was held to consider how the diarity was progressing with its aims
and to make future plans.
Financiallythe funds available to the Poole-wau Partnership have grown during the year to 6
October 2025. It should however be noted that a large portion of this is 'Restricted' for
particular projetts.
The work of the Poole-wau Partnership appearsto be well organised with excellent financial
record keeping. The fvnd5 are hugely helpful to those it supports.

I have checked the following:
Income
The income Excel spreadsheet entries match the bank statements.
The income end of year totsl £82,292 has been correctly totalled and included in the
accounts.
Cash & cheques have been banked.
Gift aid and Peoples Fundraising documents support sums banked.
The income appearsto have been raised in the manner described in the annual
report.
enditure
The expenditure Ex￿1 spreadsheet entrie5 match the bank statements.
This expenditure end of year total £33,041.94 is correctly included in the accounts.
The expenditure appears to match the stated aims of the Charitable Trust.
The amounts paid are supported by documents and photos which clearly
demonstrate how the funds have been spent
Expenses to named persons in the UK and Sudan were ched(ed. The Trustee5 showed
that they are very aware that these payments should be verifiable and wholly spent
in ways that meet the Charities aims.
Accounts
The funds brought fonvard (£11,766) plus the Net increase in funds {£49.250) are
corrertly shown at £61.015. This matches the sum held at the CO-OP bank on the 6
Ottober 2025 of £60.741. An additional £274 peoples fundraising does not appear
to have been deposited duringthis year. Checks should be made to confirm this has
been received.
The emall trails and other correspondence do not suggestthat there are unrecorded
transactions.
Details of the movement of Restricted funds have been explained.
In summary there does not appear to be errors or omissions in the accounts. The
accounting records are therefore con&dered to be a true refiettion of the Poole-wau
Partnerships linances for this year.
Kind Regards
