We were able to meet on zoom while he was here. He visited Yate, Chipping Sodbury, Chatham and Bury St. Edmunds R C Churches to say Mass and meet the parishioners, many of whom gave him donations. Tim helps wherever he can. He arranges for blind people to have cataract operations, and others to receive medical assistance every month. The Secondary School being sponsored by a private donor is progressing well, as is the irrigation system and dam at the Mission, for 45 households to be able to grow vegetables for themselves, and to sell. The chicken project ended in January 2024. This is under review. Mercy whom we employed to sew school uniform to sell, left at the end of 2023, but her assistant Florence continued to make and sell garments. This needs reviewing. Our principal donor has increased his amount of giving monthly, at Tim’s request, which we are most grateful for. At Neshaya Secondary school, the children were growing vegetables, but a 6[th] Form is now being built on the site, and a new site found for the garden. We have been able to send all monthly amounts due to Fr. Tim via the COOP and CAF banks, or money companies as needed. We continue to be challenged by the system, but have managed to overcome these, for collection every month in Zimbabwe. Sending to a business account has meant Tim’s secretary can withdraw larger amounts, which saves him time and bank charges. ## **Fundraising and Publicity April 2023- April 2024** ## **Fundraising** Regular contact with a benefactor in Bristol resulted in a donation of £15,000. The twice-yearly newsletter we send out from Fr. Tim helps maintain interest, and generous donations on a one-off basis. It was Tim’s 40[th] anniversary as a priest in May 2023, and several generous donations were received in recognition of this achievement. Gift Aid claimed amounted to £1279 in March 2024. The lead trustee organised an African evening for 13[th] April 2024, with a lot of interest. There are 13 Standing Orders in the CAF account, giving regularly, which we are most grateful for. ## **Proposed Fundraising for April 2024-April 2025** The lead trustee will liaised with Tim to organise for him to speak in Chatham church and school when he was here in August, also Yate and Chipping Sodbury churches. ## **Publicity** We will maintain contact with our regular donors as we send out Fr. Tim’s newsletter twice a year, to over 200 people. The details of the website are included in the newsletter . The web site has been updated and is on Facebook.. Our updated tri-fold publicity leaflet is on our website. The African Evening in Holyhead will further publicise the charity. ## **Internal communications** The Trustees held meetings: May, July and November 2023, and March 2024 by Zoom. Our Annual General meeting was held on the 19th May 2023 by zoom. Sue’s 5 year plan was discussed, and a proposed visit in May 2024 by Sue and Brendan to Zimbabwe to review the project and celebrate our 10[th] Anniversary as a charity. We held an extra meeting with Fr. Tim in August 2023 while he was staying at ‘Pencae’, the head Office for CFNZ, which was be very useful. We received three budgets from Fr. Tim requesting funds for 4 month periods, and were able to approve them all without alteration, as they came within the monies held and available. He requested extra funds, as detailed in his Annual Report, for various building projects, for community development, which were received with thanks from his benefactor. ## **Summary** Overall this has been a very successful tenth year, with Fr.Tim being able to keep up with his projects in community development, for the poorest of families. The bequest of 2018 is diminishing, but we received extra donations from several benefactors. We would appreciate any support you can offer for the building projects, for wages. Thank you to all those who so generously support CFNZ.
