Intro
The Trustees have given due consideration to how PGL has met the charity legislation and requirements and are satisfied that the charity has complied with the obligations and responsibilities.
The report sets out the operations and achievements of the charity for the period under review.
Vision
Promoting Global Learning (PGL) is a registered charity with the vision of assisting to raise the standard of education in Africa, the Caribbean and the rest of the developing world. The founders of PGL believe that education will empower people to get good jobs and move into professions that will bring them out of poverty and enable them to lead more fulfilling lives.
Mission
The mission of PGL is to resource teaching and learning by providing, free of charge:
-
Books (new and second-hand)
-
Stationery and other learning equipment
-
Support for sporting and extra-curricular activities
-
Transfer of teaching skills and techniques
-
Twinning of UK schools with counterparts in the developing world to enhance cultural awareness and for other mutual benefits
PGL works in partnership with governments, non- governmental organisations, parents and other stakeholders in pursuing its aims and objectives. PGL participates in school assemblies and attends conferences and workshops to share good practice, review strategies and develop fresh perspectives. In helping to facilitate improvement in education, PGL engages with local communities to ensure ownership and effective involvement in our work.
PGL receives no government funding and relies solely on donations to carry out its programmes and operations. We undertake regular fundraising activities to meet the costs of collection, storage, freight and distribution of educational resources. We ensure transparency and accountability by publishing regular reports of our work and expenditure.
Structure, Governance and Management
A team of volunteers kindly support all aspects of the work.
Review of Activities and Achievements
PGL did not engage in any activity over the period, in view of the global Covid pandemic. However, we are preparing for a resumption of our charitable objects shortly.
Future Plans
PGL is planning a comprehensive review of its programmes and activities in the light of the recent pandemic and public health considerations. Greater emphasis will be accorded to online learning, remote meetings and other electronic services.
Strategic partnerships will be a key focus, particularly with the Ghana Education Service.
Engagement of volunteers, advocacy and fundraising will be key areas for future consideration.
