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.

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.

The children are thriving under the care of our amazing teachers and
matrons. They work so hard to make sure everyone is included, learning
and that they are happy. We have been so impressed with the hands on
lessons that really help the children to be active and involved in their
learning. Here is Teacher Christine doing some practical phonics sessions.
The classrooms are looking great with lots of pictures on the walls. The
children are happy and smiling in class and obvlously enjoying their
learning.

children helping others to read the books or children pointing out letters
and sounds that they recognise In the texts. We have been very grateful
for donations of lots of picture books to take out to the school. Thank
you very much.

Aswell as learning in the classrooms the chlldren are learnlng Ilfe skills
wlth their matrons. They help with chores, learn how to look after

Section D
Achievements and performance
In the afternoon the children learn simple vocational skills like making
mats, hair
braiding and making ropes. The children work together to
make long ropes from banana fibres and then thoroughly enjoy using
them as jump ropes.
In the kitchen we have our amazing cook Samali who works so hard to
feed all our children every day. Even our non-boarders have hot food
during the school day. Making maize porridge for 70 children and hot
lunches and supper is no mean feat. Thank you, Samali, for all your hard
work.
The children help with looklng after the
animals and on the land as well. They are supported by Henry our
amazing farmer. Our Passion Fruit Project Is doing really well and our
banana plantation is provlding lots of frult. The Eucalyptus trees we are
growing for firewood are thriving. We are using our second farm plot to
grow more of our own food while we raise the funds for the vocatlonal
centre.

Section D
Achievements and performance
We have 31 children in extreme poverty attending local primary schools
with their sponsor's support. They are still making great progress at
seven different primary schools. The children all joined us for our ten
year celebrations and we also had a lovely day with them when we
visited. We are so proud of how hard they are working and all their
achlevements.
While the trustees were in Uganda in 2024 we spent some time In the
classrooms and enjoyed dolng some teaching. We enjoyed lots of
activities based around the story 'We are Going on a Bear Hunt, and
great fun was had by all.
The children thoroughly enjoy your donated toys. Thank you so much for
thinking of us when you pass on your old toys, games and clothes.

Section D
Achievements and performance
Our football pitch is still used every day by our own children, other local
schools, the community youth football and netball team5 and for
community meetings. Our children use it for ball games, running and
athletics as well as supporting any community games. The Family of
Hope Community Christmas Football Cup grows bigger every year and
the ladies netball teams are part of the competition too. It is great fun
for everyone and the community come along In their hundreds to
support.
We are still raising funds for our new vocational centre so do get in
touch If you or anyone you know could help with that. We are also asking
everyone to conslder raislng their donation by £5 to help us meet a
shortfall due to increasing costs in Uganda. You should have received a
letter about this and hope you will consider whether you can help us in
this way.
If you know of anyone who would like to help us build our new centre or
companies etc who may Ilke to sponsor a UK registered charity for a
year, please do get in touch.
We would like to thank everyone who sponsors chlldren with us. The
children love receiving your photographs, letters and gifts and for a few
people they sometimes get to meet their sponsor child when visiting the
school. What a special experience for everyone involved. We hope you
love seeing their photos as much as they enjoy seelng yours.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The
responsibillties of charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section
trustees and examiner 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charits'es Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibilrty to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5){b) of the Charrties Act, and
to state whether part￿ular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent My examination vras carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the
examine￿8 statsment Charity Commission. An examination includes a ￿VIeW of the accounting records
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 conceming any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that vnuld be required in an
audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whetfrEr the accounts present a
'true and faiff view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent In connection wth my examinatton, no material matters have come to my attention
examinerfs statement which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection wth the examination to which
attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be reached.
