| KamuliFriends is a UK registered charity whose specific aim is to support Kamuli Mission Hospital in Uganda, both by raising funds for use by the hospital on capital projects, operations and medical equipment and by encouraging volunteers (medical and non-medical) to spend some of their working time in Uganda at the hospital. |
|
| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The charity focuses on three key areas: Raising awareness of the issues faced by the hospital and its community in a poor and challenging environment. At our events and on our website, we share with friends, benefactors and event attendees’ information about the community and hospital as well as the challenges the hospital faces as a Missionary Hospital with limited funds, with poor buildings, sometimes poor equipment and occasionally a severe lack of funding to provide basic patient care and critical operations; Fundraising for the hospital. Most of the fundraising comes from social events and benefactor donations. Most fundraising activities take place usually in the South of England. Funds raised by the charity may be used for capital projects such as refurbishment of existing buildings and for new buildings as well as funds for medical operations, equipment, and other health/medical related projects; and Encourage voluntary support. The volunteers may be professional medical practitioners, medical students, or other volunteers to assist in the hospital; the charity’s responsibility is to promote and encourage the opportunity to work in the hospital, to introduce the volunteers to the medical superintendent for this consideration and approval and possibly to pay for some of the travel expenses of those volunteers needing financial assistance. We also welcome people who are kind enough to volunteer time in the running of the charity at our events. When approving projects to be funded the trustees take into consideration the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. We ensure that monies spent do benefit the population of the Kamuli District albeit specifically those who use the Kamuli Mission Hospital or work there e.g., by us providing improvement to buildings directly used for patient care or indeed staff accommodation helping fund operations by paying for supplies, or funding staff expenses. We have funded a snake bite research project which ultimately may benefit the wider population of the area. |

Section D Achievements and performance
The plan was for Dr Philip Unwin to make his first visit since covid to Summary of the main Kamuli in Nov/Dec 2022. However, this had to be postponed due to an achievements of the charity outbreak of Ebola in the locality of the hospital. The visit is planned for during the year early 2023. Although contact has been maintained with the hospital via email no visits were made this year due to the outbreak of Ebola, but a visit is planned for 2023 to discuss the next project.
Section E Financial review
We continue to receive some donations and Dr Unwin continues to Brief statement of the promote the cause. The only expenditure this year has been for the charity’s policy on reserves website, accountant, banking fees and Just Giving fundraising platform fees.
As of 31 December 2022, the balance held in our bank account was £95,626. £5,000 of the unrestricted reserves are held to ensure that administrative overheads will be met e.g., banking, accountant costs, Just Giving platform fees, website provider fees and other unforeseen costs. £2,192 constituting restricted reserves were monies donated for the purpose of providing solar energy. This project has not got off the ground yet due to logistical reasons. It will remain in the reserves until we can clarify whether the donors wish the monies to be returned or whether we can spend the sum on other projects. In addition, we have restricted a further £400 as we are yet to get the bank to identify where this receipt originated from. It was paid directly into our account.
