We have been unable to carry out any of our usual activities this year due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, which hit both the UK and South Africa particularly hard. So the description of activities given below represents activities that we intend to carry out, to support the charities objectives, when it is safe and the Pandemic is brought under control. The charity is established to benefit the general public. There is no express geographical restriction in the stated objects that applies to the opportunity to benefit. In practice the charity operates in and around The Valley of 1000 Hills near Durban in South Africa, which is where the charity’s facilities are situated. However, there are not express restrictions as to who can benefit and the charity’s facilities and services are open to all. The school children and communities that the charity works with are communities with the highest concentrated rate of HIV/ Aids in the world, extremely high unemployment rates and few prospects for young people. The charity helps this community by providing funds and facilities to support local schools and provide equipment so that the schools can facilitate musical education to children in the community. This improves prospects for young people in the community.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
The organization’s long term vision is for the communities it works with to become self-sufficient, by providing a high quality education to increase prospects of success in future employment for the communities’ inhabitants.
In all of our activities we seek to ensure that they are to the benefit of the community it serves and avoid activities that could be in any way detrimental or harmful. The charity forms choirs and provides music and arts education through schools in and around The Valley of 1000 Hills near Durban in South Africa. The charity also creates opportunities for its choirs to perform in concerts. Some of the concerts will be free of charge to attend and will benefit the wider community, other concerts will be used to raise funds for the charity.
The charity also uses the funds raised to advance musical education and provide other educational resources and equipment to improve the learning environment and structural buildings of local schools. School age children and the wider community will benefit from this.
As the charity works with children, young people and vulnerable families the trustees take all reasonable measures to ensure that the risks of harm to children’s welfare are minimised. We have put in place a robust safeguarding policy.
Where there are concerns about children and young people’s welfare the CIO takes appropriate actions to address those concerns working to agreed local policies and procedures in partnership with other local agencies.

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
We intend to continue our work in and around the Valley of 1000 Hills for community musical development and performance. We shall continue to train teachers in music and arts so that they can pass on their skills to others in the area. We will continue to use some of our funds to renovate and improve existing community buildings.
The charity’s musical education and performances will be open to all children and communities who wish to benefit from it in and around The Valley of 1000 Hills near Durban in South Africa
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
The charity now provides grant funding to relieve poverty and promote sustainable development. The recipients of one of these grants must apply using an application form that we supply. Once requested, the trustees will decide the appropriate action. If the application is successful the recipient must show full records of how the grant is used and must use it in accordance to any boundaries we set. Thus ensuring the grant is used effectively. Once the grant is used we shall be sure to check that it has been used in accordance for what it was meant.
The trustees will continue to build links with local organisations, businesses and individuals, and organisations in the UK, to raise funds to support its activities.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Sing Inchanga had many planned trips this year but due to Covid-19 restrictions, it was unfortunately impossible for us to undertake any of them. We had planned a large joint project with the LionsRaw, in which we would have helped to build a new school hall at the Steven Davison Primary School and recorded an album with the choirs at the school. This project has been postponed but we hope to attempt it again in October 2021.
Even when there were fewer restrictions for travel, we thought it unsafe and unethical to travel to South Africa. As the majority of our work includes music, and in particular, singing, we have been unable to continue our grant program for any schools as music has, on the whole, not been taught during this time. In the coming year, we hope to be able to reestablish our music teacher grant program at the Steven Davison Primary School and Obed Mlaba Technical High School, this will have a important impact and allow children to have a creative outlet once again.
We have kept in constant contact with the schools in and around the Valley of 1000 Hills and hope to be able to reconnect in person soon.
This year we welcomed a new trustee to our board, Thabo Mhlongo. As a former teacher in the valley of 1000 hills he is a great addition to our charity. He has great local knowledge of South Africa and has been part of many of our previous projects as a choir leader, music teacher and English teacher. He is a great addition to the team.
This year, we have taken time to rebuild our website, it is now far clearer and is easier to navigate to ensure we can continue to raise awareness of the problems faced in the Valley of 1000 hills. We have continued to fundraise for our future projects, which we hope to be able to start soon. .
