The children in our school have been unable to attend school elsewhere due to extreme poverty or their individual complex learning needs. The children are thriving and benefitting from the school, socially and educationally. It is clear from our visits that the children are happy, thriving and enjoying the range of activities we can offer through the small classes. They are benefitting from hands on learning, extra teacher time and learning through play and activities alongside the more traditional Ugandan 'Chalk and Talk, education. The school in Uganda is a registered community based organisation and day to day running and decision making is by our Ugandan trustee and staff team in collaboration with the UK trustees. The families and parents are delighted and grateful that their children can go to school. A benefit we had not considered initially is the respite time this gives the children's carers, whether a single Mum with a severely autistic child or a poverty stricken Grandma caring for her orphaned grandchildren whom she cannot afford to send to school. The community is benefitting by us providing work, schooling, buying local food and resources. The community are enjoying using the football pitch and playground. The community is also seeing clearly how we value each and every one of our children and consider them worth spending time, money and energy on improving their quality of life. These SEN children are often left alone and not considered worth educating. The trustees are not benefitting from the charity. We declare that the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the charity Commission on public benefit. Summary of the maln activities undertaken for the public benefit In relatlon to these objects (include withln this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance i8sued by the Charity Commission on publlc benefit) Additlonal detalls of objectlves and actlvltles (Optlonal Infomiatlon) We are very grateful to all our volunteers who support us in so many ways giving their time, skills and energy to the project both here and in Uganda.

Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main aGhlevements of the charity during the year family Loviiig Ui 114Lleii¢sS 2024 at Famil of Ho 2024 has been a really special year for us as we celebrated ten amazin8 years of Family of Hope. We still have our five teachers, two amazing matrons, our night watchman and our farmer. They all worked incredibly hard to look after our 100 fabulous children. We now have 5 Ugandan trustees who meet regularly to ensure everythlng is running smoothly behind the scenes. In April we celebrated our ten year anniversary with a march through the town accompanied by a brass band. This was great fun for everyone, and we walked to the site of our first school in tiny rented rooms. After our march we had a gathering to which we welcomed parents, the community and important guests from the counclls and education department. It was wonderful to hear from the guests the impact that Famlly of Hope is having on the local communityi region and even at national level. The children had prepared some entertainments, and we were able to share food with everyone. It was a very special and happy day. i nvvE SPECLIL NEEDS EDUCATIOWCENTrE.
