March **2012** **TAR** 2 “Sustainable Development” means development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 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. 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 **Summary of the main activities** prospects of success in future employment for the communities’ **undertaken for the public** inhabitants. **benefit in relation to these objects (include within this** In all of our activities we seek to ensure that they are of benefit to the **section the statutory** community it serves and avoid activities that could be in any way **declaration that trustees have** detrimental or harmful. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** The charity forms choirs and provides music and arts education through **Commission on public benefit)** 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. March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **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.

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. March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** In the year from September 2022-2023, we have continued to further the charities aims and reach. We have been very pleased to continue our relationship with the Steven Davison Primary School in the Valley of 1000 Hills. Once again, the school applied for 2 grants from us to pay for a music teacher at the school. We were delighted to accept the application and give the grant to the school. The music teacher, Simphiwe Ngcobo is a local musician and choir leader that has worked with the school since last year. It’s been wonderful to have him as a constant member of staff at the school. It is also very important to have a local teacher who has similar lived experiences as the students. Seeing him as a leader is a big motivation for the children. This year, as well as teaching every single child in the school, he has started a couple of school choirs. These choirs are a chance for the children, living in very difficult circumstances, to have a much-needed creative outlet. This opportunity would not be possible, if not for the support of Sing Inchanga. This year, one of the choirs started taking part in competitions. They placed third in their first contest, which as newcomers was extremely impressive. This has spurred the school on and made Simphiwe even more determined to strive for more successes. Through this grant, Sing Inchanga has helped to teach over 400 children every week. The children are learning songs in both Zulu and in English which is aiding their English language. The benefits of music for the pupils at this school are huge and for many it is the highlight of their school day. We hope to continue this into next year. March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Sing Inchanga is a basic organisation without property and little capital assets. Therefore, we feel it necessary to hold a small reserve of £1,000 to cover contingencies and on-going project commitments. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** **Full name(s)** Jasmin Fynaut **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair **etc) Date** 29[th] July 2023 March **2012** **TAR** 6 TAR Maich 2012 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLANO AND WALES SING INCHANGA 11S84n Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For th¢ pèrlod from To 0111012022 30n912023 Section A Receipts and payments Unreslrlcted funds tothe nearwt Rèstrfcted fund$ Endowmtnt funds Total fvnd$ toth8 n￿r•S1£ to tho nèarn8t£ tothè tr*thg ngarn8t£ Al Recol VdvnwrydonalWk8 iivitte5 forgenwating 1.182 1.182 1.748 russ Incom8 1.182 1.182 1,748 A2 AsBgt an(1 Investment 8alè8.
