Trustees
The trustees who served during the period and up to the date of this report are shown on page 1.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), established in November 2013 by a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees.
Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees
The members of the CIO are its charity trustees. The appointment of new members/trustees is a matter for the whole board. The board would give due consideration to the induction required for any new directors or trustees, but the current procedure is detailed below.
All trustees receive the following when considering joining the board:
-
The charity’s governing document: The NewDay United CIO Constitution, including the clause on conflicts of interest
-
An e-copy of ‘The Essential Trustee’ PDF by the Charity Commission
-
A ‘NewDay Trustee’ PowerPoint (as a basis for discussion on what we ask of our Trustees)
-
Details of available trustee training courses run by the NCVO or FSI are sent to trustees regularly, should they be available to attend
-
Minutes of recent trustee meetings
-
A copy of the latest Trustees’ Annual Report and Statement of Accounts
-
Any current key documents relevant to NewDay United
The Trustee board meets formally a minimum of four times per year, with frequent email communication, in-app messaging and informal online calls in the interim. The Treasurer also meets with the Finance Manager, UK Operations Director and the Executive Director monthly basis.
The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works
We are a small organisation, with one full time employee (Executive Director), one part-time employee (UK Operations Director), a freelance management accountant and a volunteer board of trustees. The Executive Director of NewDay United works across South Africa, the USA and the UK to internationally promote the charity and its programmes, leading and directing the SA and UK teams.
NewDay United (UK registered charity) works with NewDay United in South Africa to help facilitate our objectives at a local level and to achieve full accountability.
Our values and our vision are built on a Christian message of hope, help and healing for the people of Africa. We hold a passion to see lives restored and communities transformed in spirit, soul and body . Emphasis is placed on enabling communities to work together for the greater good , and we do this by collaborating with churches, businesses, community-based organisations and individuals.
We envision an Africa where suffering and deprivation are rare, and people meet their needs from their collective resources; where communities are strengthened to care for and protect the vulnerable; where there is greater equity among people; where people live with generosity, purpose and dignity.
NewDay United works closely with local churches to equip people in Africa by being: · Willing and able to work collaboratively across divides and sectors
· A witness in the world through their actions and lifestyle

NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
We are seeing lives and communities changed and transformed. This is central to all that we do.
Our work is focused on delivering health, education and job readiness training and empowering initiatives to those who would not otherwise have access to them. Our dream is to equip people to secure self-sufficient work and a regular income - to lift themselves, their families and eventually their communities out of poverty.
We are positioned to make a big impact in some of the most deprived communities in South Africa. Over several years we have built relationships with those working and living in Tambo Village, Gugulethu and Manenberg (Cape Town). We identify opportunities that will make an enduring difference, in partnership with trusted co-workers on the ground.
Across the communities we work in:
-
95% of adults have no higher education
-
72% of adults have not completed grade 12 (the end of the secondary education system)
-
65% of adults earn an income of less than £165.00 per month
-
58% of adults are unemployed
-
48% of adults have only some secondary education
In these communities the daily threats of rape, violence, crime, malnutrition, and abuse are the predictable consequences stemming from these statistics.
We take a multi-pronged approach with the opportunities we are given. For example, our after-school club also provides nutritious meals for the malnourished children and we network to create employment opportunities for those undertaking our job readiness courses. We cover topics such as end-user IT courses, robotics, coding, maths e-learning and, for adults, sewing skills, back-to-work support and interview training.
NewDay United’s established networks and community-based relationships enable us to identify opportunities for lasting transformation.
The Trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
The board of trustees have reviewed the primary risks to which the charity is exposed and ensure that these and any others are monitored and reviewed on a regular basis either at trustee board meetings, or as necessary between such times.
Objectives and Activities
The object of the CIO, for the public benefit, is the prevention and/or relief of poverty in particular by (but not limited to) the provision of financial assistance, resources and other support to individuals in poverty principally (but not exclusively) in Africa.
Objectives and main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects:
-
We deliver after-school support, computer training, social enterprise development, health and education programmes to those who are unable to financially support themselves currently. This is in order to provide them with the skills to support themselves, their families and improve their communities.
-
Building partnerships and collaborating with individuals and support organisations working for the prevention and/or relief of poverty, such as grassroots NGOs, churches, social enterprises and individual service providers in South Africa.
-
Delivering our own programmes as well as supporting our partners with funding, practical input and guidance as they tackle poverty and the problems arising from it in South Africa.
-
Enlarging our UK and worldwide donor base to enable the above key activities and to raise funds for related projects.

NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
-
Communicating to raise awareness of the work of NewDay United and its partnerships to enable the above key activities.
-
Reaching out to create more cross-sector partnerships and collaborations in South Africa and between related parties, as well as between SA, USA and UK supporters.
-
Additionally, in this financial year under the extraordinary circumstances of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we had to pause our normal programmes for several months, later continuing our work for a Living programme remotely using WhatsApp. Instead, the Cape Town team focused their energies on delivering basic food and essentials parcels to our team and beneficiaries in the impoverished areas of Tambo Village, Gugulethu and Manenburg in Cape Town.
Public Benefit
Based upon the activities mentioned above, the trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
Policy on grant making:
Any financial donations above £500 are only made following (1) a clearly outlined proposal from one of the Trustees, (2) discussion and approval by at least three Trustees, and then subsequently (3) captured within the board meeting minutes (or relevant communications saved electronically if proposed outside of a Trustees Meeting).
Any financial donations and gifts below £500 are considered discretionary and are typically proposed by the Executive Director or Operations Director and approved by the Treasurer or Chair.
Partners are defined as specific NGO projects or key individuals that NewDay United selects and provides support to, either financial, material or both, usually as part of an ongoing commitment. Such Partners are selected by looking at the strength of our relationships with selected individuals and/or NGOs, the strategic fit to our charity’s overriding objectives and the opportunity for NewDay United to make a significant impact with the resources available for that project.
Partner investments (summary of financial support total):
-
Funding the COVID-19 parcel relief deliveries

Contribution made by volunteers:
During the period of this report there has been a meaningful amount of resourcing provided by volunteers, both operationally and in generating goodwill for NewDay United, as mentioned in the Achievements and Performance section below.
As well as volunteer support in operational and awareness raising provided in the UK, there have been several visitors and volunteers to South Africa, interested to see the work of NewDay United. We are so grateful for the

NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
skills and talents that volunteers give and are aware that we would not be able to operate at the capacity we work to without their valued input and support.
Examples of some of the work they carried out while working with our partners and projects in South Africa are:
-
Volunteering in our projects and serving as team members
-
Visiting and giving specific skills training or support in partner NGO projects
-
Providing leadership advice and mentoring
-
Prayer support
-
Raising funds to support projects
-
Serving as ambassadors and raising awareness about our work
Achievements and Performance
The main Achievements of the CIO in the Report Period are as follows:
Mentoring and Training
Due to the government restrictions because of Covid 19, mentoring and training has been limited with occasional Zoom calls to discuss how this can resume once the restrictions are lifted.
NewDay United is committed to ongoing relational support and partnership in order to achieve our objectives and ensure accountability. We do this through walking alongside those we partner with or have partnered with historically.
Our Programmes
COVID-19 Relief Response Campaign
Towards the end of March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed South Africa into lockdown and immediately we knew we needed a plan to help our beneficiaries and team based in the informal settlements and townships. We decided upon a programme of parcel deliveries for families, providing food basics, a children’s fun activity pack, official COVID-19 guidance, discipleship materials and (for the team only) some data so we could keep in touch. We also moved to delivering one of our courses online.
Food and Essentials Parcel Deliveries
At the height of the pandemic in Cape Town, NewDay United ran a successful social media ‘skipping’ fundraising campaign to raise the funds to deliver food and essentials parcels to our team and beneficiaries who were in lockdown, many with no income or opportunity to earn.
The NewDay United staff were incredible in planning and delivering these parcels every week to our beneficiaries:
-
22 weeks of food parcel deliveries, with each parcel feeding a family of 4 for two weeks
-
1320 parcels delivered
-
R264 000 total cost for parcels (raised in GBP and transferred over to SA Rand)
-
About 4000 kms driven in 22 weeks by 2 delivery cars
Vegetable Growing Kits
As soon as the SA lockdown started the process of easing it was agreed that a more sustainable approach was needed and so the funds were channelled into delivering wooden vegetable box kits, so that people could learn
5
NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
to grow their own food and become more independent. The statistics of this part of the COVID-19 Response Campaign were:
-
24 boxes delivered
-
The various boxes were delivered to Khanyisa Church and then on to individual houses in Manenberg, Tambo village and Gugulethu.
Foodscaping: This ongoing sustainability project started mid-March 2021 and involved composting and digging the soil on unused roadside verges to prepare for planting at the beginning of April. There will be more to say about this in next year’s report, but so far this is progressing at a pace.
Sewing Enterprise: This programme trains people (currently women) of all ages who are on little or no income to generate funds through learning new sewing, craft and business skills. This enables and empowers them to set up an employee-owned social enterprise to sell the crafts and textiles that they make. Central to their vision is the commitment to train up others in order to create jobs, generate income and improve self-esteem. This type of enterprise strikes at the heart of a new economic transformation in South Africa, where small businesses are springing up, run and owned by those who are members of it. The aim is job creation and empowerment through entrepreneurial championing. During the time of high restrictions we ensured that the sewing beneficiaries were supplied with machines and material so that they could continue to sew at home and one of the major projects was to make protective masks to give away to the local community.
Hluma Afterschool Project: HIuma is a safe place for school children to be together, eat a nutritious meal (sometimes their only meal of the day), to learn life skills and to receive some 1-2-1 tutoring in reading, comprehension, and maths. The programme gets children off the streets in the gap between school ending and their parents’ return from work. It’s the time when children are at their most vulnerable to the high levels of gang violence, rape and other physical attacks in the area. We also provide holiday provision for the same reasons as outlined above. During the time of high Covid restrictions, we ensured the children were given some fun activities to keep them occupied while at home and these were delivered along with the parcels. We were able to start opening up our programmes with caution from mid-September 2020.
Computer Learning Centre (CLC): Our CLC courses are 6 months long and are accessible to people of all ages and genders. Our CLC is designed and located in order to engage hard to reach communities. Communities that wouldn’t otherwise take up the opportunity to develop their IT skills to a meaningful level for the marketplace. We are rolling out training for the National Certificate qualification in ‘IT: End User Computing’. The learners develop skills and competencies in end-user computing – the pathway from theoretical concepts to the practical end user experience. During training, learners develop a range of skills that will enable them to be better-equipped and more-prepared workers. This provides access to further education, lifelong learning and employment. We were forced to close CLC during the time of high Covid restrictions we were able to give our beneficiaries some written work to continue their course when we dropped off the food parcels. We were able to resume classes with strict PPE from September 2020.
Robotics : This has been identified as a key skill for future employment and a fun way for learners to learn practical maths and science. We give weekly classes in collaboration with partners. Robotics gives a familiarity and contact with high-tech software and hardware, which is normally only realised at tertiary education level. In later years, this will increase our beneficiaries’ employability capacity in a technological world. Due to Covid restrictions, we had to pause this programme to resume in April 2021.
Maths and Science E-learning: We use online e-learning programmes as part of our homework support, and we find it enables children to grow fast in knowledge and confidence in this key curriculum area. Due to Covid restrictions, we had to pause this programme to resume in April 2021.

NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
Holistic Health: This includes complete physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. We recognise that all people, regardless of their circumstances should have access to excellent, affordable health care. However, many people do not have these facilities in their community. We aim to provide basic health education to empower individuals to make informed decisions and have control over their own health and circumstances. Topics covered include HIV, TB, Diabetes, Hypertension and Sexual Health. Unfortunately, due to Covid, this programme had to be paused but we still offered advice when dropping off the food parcels.
Work 4 A Living (W4AL): This is a 12-day job readiness course. The aims of this intensive course are to invest in people by training in the job and entrepreneurial skills beneficiaries need to support themselves and their families. During lockdown, we had to pause this programme, resuming it in November 2020.
CodersDojo : This is our programming club, reaching young people between the ages of 7 and 17 where they are learning to code, build a website, create an app or a game, and explore technology in an informal, creative, fun and social environment. The focus in this programme is on peer learning, youth mentoring and self-lead learning. Our aim is to help young people realise that they can build a positive future through coding and community.
Wired 4 Business: This is a course offering training to entrepreneurs who are interested in starting their own micro business. During lockdown, we were able to continue to offer this programme using WhatsApp and over 200 students completed the course in this time.
Funding the CIO
NewDay United also secures funding for itself and its partners through applying to grant making organisations, foundations and trusts for financial support.
Our partnerships are based on strong relationships, with financial accountability aligned to our charitable objectives. Many organisations we work with are too small or unable to access funds by themselves, despite their reach and work in their communities.
NewDay United has spoken in many churches, and at national and international conferences, as well as speaking to potential supporters in other sectors of work to raise funds, engage regular donors and raise awareness for our work.
Raising Awareness
NewDay United has worked to create a variety of promotional communications platforms (using the printed word, email newsletters, social media, our website as well as regular photo and video updates) for SA, the UK and the USA in order to enable fundraising and to raise awareness for NewDay United and the partners and projects it supports.
The www.newdayunited.org website was initially launched in 2014 and in 2020/21 it has continued to be improved, updated and changed. Our new website changes in this period communicate our vision and project detail more clearly, as well as the addition of a web shop selling virtual goods to enable our supporters to buy items which fulfil specific needs for our projects, such as a laptop, a football or some stationery for a school child. Furthermore, we continue to use crowd-funding campaigns and promotional materials to promote and fund our work. We have an active profile on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, with an ever-growing number of engaged followers across the world. Our popular ‘Skipping’ social media campaign reached beyond our normal faithful support base, also engaging new backers and funded our COVID-19 response in its entirety. We use several online donation portals to process the financial support we receive as well as Gift Aid eligible donations, in addition to the support we receive directly into the charity bank account.

NEWDAY UNITED (Charity number 1154744)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for the YEAR ended 31[st] MARCH 2021
Our endeavours in raising awareness and funding have seen us speak (via Zoom) extensively in the USA, Belgium, Holland, South Africa and the UK in this period, as we seek to gain more financial, prayer and practical support for NewDay United and its partner projects in South Africa.
Volunteers
We are immensely grateful for the work of volunteers.
In the main our volunteers generously shared gifts of their time and talents to work with NewDay United in the areas of projects, operations, youth work, communications, fundraising and skills resourcing. Sadly, due to the global pandemic in this period there were a number of trips and stays in South Africa which were postponed for US and UK volunteers who had planned to serve and support NewDay United projects.
Prayer Support
We have many prayer supporters, through partner churches and also individuals who have subscribed to our Prayer Update emails and WhatsApp messages. They support NewDay United and its partnerships through prayer, spiritual input and encouragement. We are so grateful for the time and prayer so sacrificially given by these faithful supporters. We believe all that we do should be based in prayer.
Financial Review
Charity’s policy on reserves
NewDay United is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in response to a calling from God and as such the board of Trustees believe that God will be faithful in providing the resources required to fulfil that calling. The board of Trustees accepts that it is wise financial management to support a Reserves Policy which can provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity.
The board of Trustees reviews NewDay United’s Reserves Policy annually, and reviews the current financial status, including cash reserves and forecast at each Trustee meeting, and particularly prior to making any significant funding or operational decisions.
The purpose of the Reserves Policy is to smooth out any short-term variations in funding and expenditure to ensure that the charity is able to fulfil its objectives without interruption.
Under normal circumstances the Board of Trustees considers it appropriate to hold reserves of 3 to 4 months of typical committed monthly expenditure. At our financial year-end, our Financial Reserves in the General Fund were slightly above this range at £28,318 and the board of Trustees was therefore satisfied that NewDay United remains in a financially viable position.
The principal sources of funding for NewDay United General Fund for the financial period shown within this report were through regular donations from Tribo Synthetics (33%), other regular individual donors (20%), Ivy Church (18%), and other one-off donations (9%). Gift Aid Income claimed in 2020-21 made up 6% of General Fund income.
The board of Trustees agreed that the key objectives of the CIO continued to be met in part thanks to the expenditure from NewDay United towards a number of specific activities (see a sample of these within the Achievements and Performance section) as well as to cover costs and expenses incurred by key partners and consultants in delivering support activities as requested by the board. Additionally, a significant level of volunteer effort and time was gratefully accepted by NewDay United in support of these same goals. All financial expenditure and volunteer efforts were made in line with our principal aim towards the prevention and/or relief of poverty principally in Africa.
