No fundraising events were carried out this year. Following our restructure in 2018, we contacted a variety of hospitals in Nigeria to help start work on developing guidelines till November 2018. In November 2018, we made contact with a primary healthcare center in Kuje, Abuja, Nigeria. They were very receptive and we proceeded to begin groundwork. Meetings were held with key players in the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in Nigeria in the non communicable **Summary of the main activities** diseases sector to help tailor our guidelines to local and national needs. **undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these** We completed our pilot project at Kuje Primary Healthcare Center in **objects (include within this** March, 2020. Two members of the team visited the primary health **section the statutory** center and provided training on the hypertension guideline. **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** We also obtained ethical approval and carried out survey of both staff **issued by the Charity** and patients to understand the needs of the community and lay **Commission on public benefit)** groundwork for our future work to improve access to primary health care within Kuje. We met with the FMOH in Abuja, Nigeria regarding rolling out the hypertension project within Nigeria. We attempted registration of the Charity within Nigeria to allow ease of work for future projects- however, due to the COVID pandemic, we were unable to complete this registration. Work was halted for the latter half of 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 4 March **2012** **TAR** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers.
