Little Angels Foundation – Trustees Annual Report 2025 ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** ## **LITTLE ANGELS FOUNDATION** ## **Charity Number:** 1159078 **Charity Type:** Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) **Reporting Period:** 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025 ## **Executive Summary** During the year ending 31 March 2025, Little Angels Foundation continued to advance its charitable mission of transforming the lives of children, young people, and families in Cameroon, DR Congo, and the United Kingdom. Building on the strong foundations laid in the previous year, the Foundation delivered a similar portfolio of educational, creative, and empowerment-focused activities, with a notable expansion of **online workshops, virtual training sessions, and digital engagement** . Despite ongoing global and regional challenges, including economic pressures and continued instability affecting some of our beneficiaries, the Foundation demonstrated resilience and adaptability. By increasing the use of online delivery, we were able to reach wider audiences, maintain continuity of support, and ensure access to learning and counselling opportunities for children, young people, and families who might otherwise have been excluded. The trustees are satisfied that the charity has continued to operate in furtherance of its charitable objectives, has managed its resources responsibly, and remains well-positioned to grow its impact in the coming years. ## **Introduction** Little Angels Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. Our mission is to transform the lives of children, young people, and families in Cameroon and the UK through: - The advancement of education - The relief of poverty - The provision of counselling, mentoring, and practical support to those in need In 2025, our work maintained a strong focus on literacy, creativity, and life skills development, while increasingly embracing digital platforms to deliver workshops and support sessions. ## **Our Objectives** The objectives of Little Angels Foundation remain central to all our activities: - Providing temporary and permanent shelter for disadvantaged children and orphans - Improving the health and well-being of children and other disadvantaged individuals - Offering financial support for the educational advancement of disadvantaged children - Delivering counselling, coaching, and mentoring for distressed children, young people, and families - Establishing vocational training centres and colleges to promote long-term independence and self-reliance ## **Key Activities and Achievements in 2025** ## **Creative Writing and Literacy Workshops** The Foundation continued to deliver creative writing, reading, and storytelling workshops for children and young people. In 2025, a greater proportion of these sessions were delivered **online** , enabling broader participation across geographical boundaries. These workshops supported literacy development, self-expression, and confidence-building, with positive feedback from participants, parents, and educators. ## **Online Educational Sessions and Webinars** In response to demand and accessibility needs, Little Angels Foundation significantly increased its programme of online workshops and virtual sessions. These included: - Literacy and reading support sessions for children - Creative writing masterclasses led by authors and facilitators - Interactive discussions promoting a love of books and storytelling The use of digital platforms allowed the Foundation to maintain regular engagement with beneficiaries and volunteers, while reducing delivery costs. ## **Books Donation Programme** The books donation programme remained a core activity in 2025. The Foundation continued to distribute books to children from disadvantaged and underrepresented communities, complementing both in-person and online literacy activities. These resources supported learning at home and reinforced the impact of workshops and reading sessions. ## **Financial Literacy and Empowerment Workshops** Building on the success of previous initiatives, financial literacy workshops for mothers and caregivers were continued, with several sessions delivered online. Participants gained practical skills in budgeting, financial planning, and household money management, contributing to increased confidence and economic resilience. ## **Counselling, Mentoring, and Family Support** The Foundation continued to provide counselling, coaching, and mentoring support to children, young people, and families experiencing distress. Where face-to-face support was not feasible, online and telephone-based sessions ensured continuity of care and guidance. ## **Public Benefit** The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. All activities undertaken during the year were carried out to further the Foundation’s charitable purposes and provided clear benefit to the public, particularly disadvantaged children, young people, and families. ## **Challenges and Resilience** The Foundation continued to face challenges related to limited funding, rising costs, and ongoing socio-political instability affecting some regions of Cameroon. However, the increased use of online delivery enabled the charity to adapt effectively, maintain programme delivery, and reach beneficiaries in a flexible and cost-efficient manner. The commitment of trustees, volunteers, and partners remained a key strength, ensuring that services continued despite financial and operational pressures. ## **Plans for the Future** Looking ahead to 2026, Little Angels Foundation aims to: - Further expand online and hybrid workshops to reach more beneficiaries - Develop vocational training and skills-based initiatives for young people - Strengthen partnerships with schools, publishers, and community organisations - Enhance fundraising activities to support long-term sustainability ## **Acknowledgements** The trustees wish to express their sincere gratitude to our volunteers, partners, donors, and supporters for their continued dedication and generosity. Your support enables Little Angels Foundation to bring hope, opportunity, and lasting change to the children and families we serve. ## **Signed on behalf of the Trustees,** Dr Sylvia Forchap Chair of Trustees 31 March 2025 **LITTLE ANGELS FOUNDATION No (if any) Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For the period** 04/01/2024 **31/03/2025 To from** ~~a ee ee~~ |**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**|||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**Unrestricted**
