Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is governed by a Trust Deed dated 31 December 2014 as amended on 19 September 2022.

Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees

The charity’s Trust Deed provides that there must be not less than 6 nor more than 14 Trustees. Manchester & Warrington and Area Quaker Meeting and Cambridgeshire Area Quaker Meetings have the right to appoint trustees. New Trustees can be appointed by the existing trustees at a formal meeting. A trustee can be reappointed twice.

We continue to feel concern about the future of our trustees body, wishing to find more diverse and younger trustees who share our Quaker ethos.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The objects of the charity are:

To improve the physical and mental health and education and relieve the poverty of people of the Great Lakes Region of Africa and in particular those in the area of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Such other purposes as are exclusively charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may from time to time determine.

Trustees have developed this broad objective to more specific work as follows.

To promote the furtherance of peace, equality and human rights in that area.

To raise funds and provide grants, mentoring and general assistance to hospitals, schools, formal and informal groups and individuals in order to further such objects, in particular supporting community projects run by the Communauté des Eglises Evangéliques des Amis au Congo (CEEACO).

The charity's main activities

Quaker Congo Partnership UK (QCP) is a registered Quaker charity which works in partnership with CEEACO, Communauté des Eglises Evangeliques des Amis au Congo (the Community of Evangelical Friends’ Churches in Congo).

The very difficult conditions of life and work in South Kivu are well publicised. This is a potentially flourishing and wealthy area where progress has lagged due to a combination of past war, recent armed conflict, the presence of conflict minerals and the historic weakness of government structures. Many Quakers feel led to support the work of QCP.

We currently support projects in the South Kivu province round the town of Uvira and in Abeka 50km to the south.

The projects under this partnership are in four areas:-

CHA - Hospital and health supporting the Centre Hospitalier Abeka

CEPAP - Centre for, Peace, Education and Psychological Support

AWID - Action for Women’s Integral Development

Achievements and performance

The year 2025 began with military conflict and seizure of large areas of North Kivu. The project manager of CEPAP sent us these words:- “The blood of the innocents flows on a healthy soil. The displaced are under trees, in school spaces, in churches. Abandoning all their property, seeking the shelter of peace, and dressed in emotional vulnerability, followed by despair. Many are dead and wounded. The sounds of weapons sting hard at the ear and give a message of instability and violence.” We began an emergency appeal to UK Quakers and asked our partners to organise distribution of raised funds.

Quaker Congo Partnership UK

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025

Achievements and performance continued

In the same month that fighting in North Kivu drew the world’s attention, we saw the progress to completion of our Mukwezi water pipeline project. The generosity of support for this project has continued after its completion so that we end the year in a relatively healthy financial position.

Our CEPAP group have worked on supporting the displaced and on maintaining youth committees and strengthening their capacity to resolve the conflicts and division that have arisen from the fighting across the province, massive population movements and the widespread availability of weapons. CEPAP were able to run formal training from Turning the Tide to strengthen their skills and improve peacebuilding capabilities. They continue to nurture the clubs for young women and to eliminate attacks on women deemed to be witches.

The Hospital has maintained its medical services to a large population and to displaced people through the year, despite the dangers to its staff. A new Trustee helped us review the status and potential for the CHA, considering its relationships to other hospitals in the area. The needs for improvements in facilities and equipment and strengthening human resources for the hospital continue to be acute.

AWID activities have continued as far as possible despite the disruption and dangers to which its members have been exposed. AWID project main areas of work continue to be tailoring, agriculture, soap making for sale.

Towards the end of 2025 AWID members brought forward a proposal to acquire an owned property where their varied work can be done more safely. We are working with our partners to make this a reality even though conflict in the current year has led to serious disruption to commercial activity.

We made a decision that neither we nor our partners have the capacity to act as conduits for funding to organisations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo other than our established partners. We have offered guidance to others on how to arrange for orderly transfers to their partners.

We began work to renew our 3-year agreement with CEEACO, seeking to simplify it and focus on testable commitments. We won a major grant from the Southall Trust that included funds for a coach / manager whose role would be to support CEEACO management in planning and executing projects and in learning how to raise funds directly from donors. We have supported CEEACO during the current year in the processes of publicising the opportunity and recruiting the coach manager.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance.

Financial review

The net receipts for the year were £31,949, including net receipts of £24,373 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £7,576 on restricted funds after transfers.

Quaker Congo Partnership UK

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025

Reserves policy

Trustees have agreed that there are three principal purposes of our reserves.

To allow us to respond to emergencies in the unsettled and deprived area where our work is carried out in partnership with CEEACO.

To retain £15,000 of the free reserves to cover six months of routine funding, in case of a shortfall in donations to Quaker Congo Partnership in any year. Our partnership agreement with CEEACO amounts to about £30,000 a year to cover some basic operational costs of the peace, hospital and women’s projects.

To respond to specific requests for the year ahead from the teams in CEEACO. In recent years this has included the Mukwezi water project. The focus for 2026 is to enable the purchase of a piece of land and a building for the women’s integrated development project. We intend to fund this from a mixture of specific fundraising activities and a contribution from free reserves.

The charity's free reserves at the year end were £49,820.

This is an increase from the previous year due to the charity receiving an unrestricted legacy donation of £20,000. The trustees are currently looking at how best to utilise that additional funding.
