2. Establishment of charity and appointment of trustees
Establishment of charity
The charity is a charitable trust which was established and is governed by a trust deed dated 12 February
2013. The trust deed was drawn up using the model trust deed issued by the Charity Commission.
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are selected based on their possession of skills and experience that are relevant to the work and
effective administration of the charity. Under clause 9 of the trust deed trustees are appointed for an initial
3-year term by a resolution of the trustees passed by a vote in accordance with clause 15 of the trust deed.
3. The objects and activities of the charity
The charity works in partnership with the directors of the Revival Centre in Matugga, Uganda to support
the work of the centre and a group of around 150 disadvantaged children who attend the centre.
The two primary objects of the charity as stated in the trust deed are:
a) To prevent or relieve poverty in Uganda by providing or asslsting in the provision of education,
vocational skills training, ond healthcare to children, and by providing or ossisting in the provision
of support to impoverished or vulnerable individuals, families, and communities, with an emphasis
on helping them generate a sustainable income and become self-sufficient in thefuture,. and
b) To advance the education of school pupils in the UK ond in Uganda by assisting the development
of partnerships between schoo15 in the UK ond in Uganda.
UKschools are visited by trustees often accompunied by the heod of Revival Centre providing input
to curriculum projects, and school L755emblies. Some schools have embarked on a c1055 twinning
exercise andexchange mGteriGls with classes in Uganda. All tofosterglobal citizenship and mutual
understanding.
4. The public benefit of the charitrfs activities
The trustees confirm that they have taken full account of the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity
Commission.
In Uganda the public beneficiaries of the charity's work include:
11 150 children at various ages from nursery to secondary school age. These children are supported
by the charity which pays the Revival Centre for their education and welfare needs, which
includes living in dormitories on site during term time.
2} a further 400/500 children who attend the centre as fee payers benefit from the improved
conditions resulting from the projects funded by the charity.
3} all these children receive the benefit of education and skills to help them, and their families gain
work and avoid living in poverty in the future.

4} the staff who are living in the local community are employed by the school and receive salaries,
which helps them and their families from falling into or remaining in poverty.
51 the medical centre offers the pupils and staff, and citizens in the wider community the benefit of
basic health care services
61 many local businesses benefit from supplying Revival Centre with services and goods which helps
relieve poverty for those involved.
7) A small number of graduating senior pupils are assisted into further education, either University
based or Vocational learning.
In the UK, public beneficiaries of the charity's work include:
l) Pupils in the 12 to 15 link schools who receive input from the charity in assemblies, lessons and
projects that educate them about life in Uganda, promotingthe concept of global citizenship.
21 Some schools use the charity's website as a learning resource.
31 Many churches and community groups support the charity and receive regular updates from
trustees and look forward to Bishop Ivan's annual visit.
41 We help prepare visitors from the UK (on behalf of the Directors of Revival Centre) and elsewhere
who wish to volunteer their time and skills at the Revival Centre in Matugga, Uganda.
5. The charitVs achievements in 2023-24
5.1 Fundraising and activity in the UK
2023 saw a continuation of a gradual return to normality, following the Covid pandemic. The on-going
impact of Covid however blended with new challenges, as a worldwide economic crisis continued to
heavily impact many, including the Revival Centre in Matugga and our UK supporters.
Nevertheless, UK supporters continued to help raise funds via a variety of means. Many supporters
continued to donate on a regular basis both to support the younger most needy 150 children (the
Champions) and those at Universlty through the Further Education Scholarship Fund. Donations were also
received from community groups for example: St. John's Church Ben Rhydding and various supporting
schools, from the Ilkley, Ben Rhydding and surrounding area. Specific fund-raising events held within the
year included: the annual Pete Sheilds Trail Race, organised by the Ilkley Harriers, which took place in May
2023. This resulted in over £IOOO in donations towards GACAH. In October 2023 we launched our 'Kits for
Kids, Appeal raising money to provide the necessary items that the most needy children required help with
in order to be able to attend school, e.g. school uniform, shoes, bedding and personal hygiene items. In
November 2023, GACAH held a 'Rock for Revival, event at St. John's Church in Ben Rhydding, with the sole
focus of raising funds for the 'Kits for Kids, Appeal. This event was a great success.
This appeal was also 5UPPOrted via the sale of Gift Vouchers and Christmas Cards over the festive period,
which were promoted on our website, in newsletters and on social media.

In Spring 2024, Ilkley Rotary Club supported GACAH with our fundraising by organising for Steeton Male
Voice Choir to perform at Christchurch Ilkley. This resulted in a donation of £1500 being made.
Early in 2024 two major needs were identified at the Revival Centre. Firstly, the need to replace the girls,
toilets on the school site, and secondly purchases and improvements to meet requirements raised during a
routine inspection conducted by the Uganda Education Department in order to renew the Revival Centre's
registration as an examination centre and as is common in Africa, they gave a tight deadline to meet their
requirements. Upon hearing these needs the Ilkley Rotary Club requested that their donation be put
towards the cost of replacing the girls, toilets which were anticipated to be in excess of £5,000. In March
2024 GACAH directed a donation for £1,000 received from Harrogate Grammar School toward the costs of
meeting the School Inspector's requirements.
5.2 Reports and observations from the Revival Centre
In Spring 2022, we reported that although the Revival Centre was able to reopen following the Covid
pandemic, the knock-on effect of this was still being keenly felt and it was necessary for the school to close
earlierthan normal and for a longer than usual summer break. Thanks to the fundraising efforts and
generous supporter donations received however, GACAH was able to support the Revival Centre through
this difficult period and they were able to reopen and continue to run. However, Spring 2023 brought
continued difficulties, as the worldwide economic crisis continued, and inflation caused the price of food
and goods to rise significantly.
Bishop Ivan and Madam Allen awarded the 2023/24 Further Education Scholarship to Fred Kyaka
supporting him to study for a Bsc in Chemical Engineering at Kyambogo University. GACAH Scholarship
funds continue to support the FE students on a monthly basis including Joshua studying for a BSC in Bio
Processing Engineering at Makerere University, and Fisal studying for a BSC in Chemical Engineering and
Denis studying for a BSC. In Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineering both at Kyambogo University.
In April, trustee and Chair of GACAH Debbie Walker returned to the Revival Centre for two weeks and was
able to see first-hand some of the recently completed work5, following our Winter appeal for funds and
GACAH'5 increased support. As previously reported, these included a new dining shelter for Senior I pupils,
a refurbished primary school kitchen, a new toilet block for the boys, and a protective wall to help prevent
flooding when the rains return. A new classroom for Senior I class had also been added, along with a new
handwashing station placed at the Revival Church.
All in all, the visit was a positive one, and Debbie reported that despite the challenge of rising costs the
Revival Centre looked smart and that the children were healthy, busy and happy as they approached the
final school term.
Summer 2023 saw Bishop Ivan's return to the UK for the first time in four years due to the Covid Pandemic
where he was able to spend three weeks visiting supporter schools and other supporters, including church,
youth and community groups and family groups. During this visit, Ivan was able to re-establish a personal
link with our supporters and visit and thank in person the Ilkley Harriers, for their continued support and
fundraising efforts with the annual Pete Sheilds Trail Race.
During this vital time together, Ivan and the trustees of GACAH were able to make plans together for the
year ahead, identifying key needs and ongoing requirements of the Revival Centre.
The key needs identified during this visit were as follows:

Give A Child A Hope
Annual Report and Accounts 2023 - 24
Page 6
l. The children have been slow to return to school following the pandemic, as parents struggle to
provide the basic requirements to return, bedding, soap etc. This led to the GACAH 'Kits 4 Kids,
Appeal.
2. The Ministry of Education appear to be moving toward requiring that all teachers with Diploma
level education now train to degree level. GACAH agreed to follow the developments on this with
the Revival Centre Directors and where possible help with funding the conversion of any Revival
Centre teachers diplomas to degree level.
3. We agreed that personalised links between UK supporters Wlth named champions should end, due
to increased pressures and challenges faced at the Revival Centre. It was agreed that efforts in
Matugga and here in the UK were better placed in sUPPOrting the day-to-day needs of the school
and its pupils, most namely through fundraising here in the UK and in sUPPOrting the group of
Champions as a whole through the Champions Support Programme.
4. The class-twinning project should be re-established whereby classes in the UK would exchange
project work with reciprocal classes at the Revival Centre Schools, thereby increasing the cultural
exchange and ensuring that all the children at the Revival Centre received a form of communication
from the UK rather than just the lucky few whose supporters wrote letters to them
In Autumn 2023, a number of trustees were once again able to return to Matugga. Debbie Walker in
September, followed by Marion Hetherington and Sharon Crosby in October.
Many observations were shared by both visiting parties which gave valuable feedback on how GACAH
funds are being appropriately utilised and also helped to shape the focus of future fund-raising efforts.
Both Marion and Sharon were able to assist the teaching team at the Revival Centre and were reported to
have contributed toward the extremely good exam results achieved in early 2024. These self-funded
trustee visits to the Revival Centre are a valuable contribution to maintaining the partnership between
GACAH and the Revival Centre Team. Trustees are also able to see first-hand the use to which GACAH
funds have been put and also better understand future needs.
5.3 GACAH links with schools in Ilkley and Community Engagement
GACAH and the school's links task group were able to visit a number of schools during Bishop Ivans visit to
the UK in June. A packed schedule saw Ivan visit Ashlands, All Saints and Moorfield Primary Schools in
Ilkley, Ben Rhydding Primary School, St. Margarets Primary in Horsforth and Wycliffe Primary in Shipley.
Ivan was also able to attend Ilkley Grammer School. The children visited greeted Ivan with a huge
enthusiasm and interest for the work and life at the Revival Centre.
This visit was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen links with long-standing supporters, as well as to build
relationships Wlth new.
6. Financial review and accounts 2023-24
Financial review
The charity started the year with a balance of £22,919 in its account at HSBC, a balance of £100 in the CAF

Annual Report and Accounts 2023- 24
Page 7
In 2023-24 the charity did not own any physical assets or employ any staff and did not have any large capital
sums to invest to generate income, so its finances are relatively straightforward.
As total income is less than £250,000 per year the charity is allowed to maintain 'receipts and payments,
accounts as presented below.
The Accounts
Below we present our 'receipt5 and payments, account for the period l April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
The receipts account shows the monthly income from donations and fundraising events.
Projects sponsored by specific donations have been shown as restricted funds. Specific donations were also
received towards the cost of further education of five students therefore the funding and payments for them
has also been treated as a restricted fund.
The charity is working with our partners at the Revival Centre to further establish a system of regular
feedback, with receipts where possible, including photographic evidence, of purchases made and projects
undertaken and completed, utilising funds supplied by GACAH.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024
Note l Unrestricted funds represent donations and subscriptions received into the general fund from which
financial support is given to the Revival Centre in Matugga, Uganda. The general fund makes a monthly gift by
bank transfer to the Revival Centre in Matugga, Uga nda. This funding is primarily for the fina ncial support of the
Champions, programme and for other disadvantaged students at the school as a contribution towards the cost of
their accommodation, food and education. Restricted funds currently include further education for a small
number of students whose sponsors continue to support their education beyond school age, the bed appeal and
the land fund (see Note 31.
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 have been restated to include the Partnership Trust
administration charges of £1,77812023/24.' £1,663).
Note 2 A private donation was made by 4 supporters in 2019 for £8.250 to RC so that a deposit could be put down
on the land for the church. Although the land for the church is not a GACAH project, it saves RC £200/month on
properties occupied by staff on the land. There is no liability to repay but GACAH has refunded the supporters a5
funds allowed. Up to 31 March 2024, £5,200 of the loan had been repaid. The balance outstanding was waived bv
the supporters in November 2024, the funds remaining with Give A Child A Hope for the benefit of the Revival
Centre.
Note 3 Private donations of £31,783k were made by several supporters, during 2021/22, to purchase the title of
the land on which the Primary School, formerly leasehold, is located. Two supporters made a loan to the charity of
£5,500 to cover a shortfall in the amount required for the land purchase. A grant for this amount was received
from CMS Ireland, and the loans repaid, in August 2023.
Note 4 A grant of £10,000 was received from CMS Ireland, and paid over to the Revival Centre, in December 2022
towards the Church build project. Although this is not a GACAH project, the trustees agreed that the charity would
act as an agency for the transmission of these funds. Further funds of £8,000 were received and paid over for the
Church build ing project in 2023.

Commission (under section 14515llbl of the Charities Act, and
to State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
examinerfs statement Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting record5 kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as
to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that
examiner's statement disclosed below '}

requirements-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirement5 of the Charities Act
have not been met. or
