Report of the Trustees for the Year Ending 31 August 2023
Summary
In 2022/23 The Mlambe Project (TMP) delivered two more classrooms at one school and toilets at another school in rural southern Malawi. Classroom accommodation for one hundred and twenty children who would otherwise have had to learn in the open or in the most basic of shelters. And good quality block built latrines for Mlambe school. Cholera is a serious problem in Malawi and schools fear closure if they do not have adequate toilet facilities.
The classrooms and toilets were built using stabilised soil blocks which have the lowest carbon cost of any suitable building technique.
Our leadership team was stable in 2022/23. We continued with our 100% volunteer approach.
The downward trend in donations in kind continues year on year as our designs and administrative infrastructure become more mature and stable meaning we have less need for these donated services.
Our work in 2022/23 was once again all directed through the Malawian NGO which shares our name. The trustees of the Malawian NGO include local education managers, a head mistress and a trustee with construction skills.
We worked hand in glove with the Malawian NGO and local government to ensure the projects we undertake are focussed on the right local priorities.
Lucy Ifould (trustee) is a Malawian resident and Andrew May-Miller (manager and trustee) travelled to Malawi in 2023 and visited all the schools we have worked with and planned to work with. This ensured the continuation of the deep personal and organisation connection between all stakeholders in The Mlambe project.
Our fundraising highlight of 2023 was William May-Miller’s swim across the channel from England to Fance. Neary 14 hours of non-stop swimming which raised £21,000.

Charity Purpose and Aims
The Mlambe Project seeks to transform education and economic opportunities in Malawi using innovative & economical high-impact methods which are environmentally responsible and socially sustainable. More specifically, the charity aims to:
-
Improve access to, and quality of, education, chiefly by constructing school infrastructure
-
Support the local economy through developing skills & employment opportunities within the school construction projects.
-
Innovate & promulgate good development practice.
The core charitable objects, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are:
-
1) The prevention or relief of poverty at Mlambe School and its surrounding area, and elsewhere in Malawi, by providing or assisting in the provision of education and training projects and all necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate sustainable income and be self-sufficient and in particular by promoting the use of the ‘Earthbag’* building technique.
-
2) To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community around Mlambe school, Malawi, in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
*The earthbag building technique has been superseded by “Stabilised Soil Block” (SSB) construction. The trustees are aware that the formal stated objectives should be updated.

Delivering Public Benefit
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in relation to the Charity’s aims and objectives. Trustees consider it important to demonstrate progress to supporters and others interested in the charity’s work.
The Mlambe Project delivers public benefit in several ways:
-
By improving education in Malawi. We do this by providing funding and expertise to build much-needed school facilities, principally classrooms, toilets and teachers houses. Without the infrastructure we provide, children are often taught outside or in ramshackle shelters. They are more likely to abandon education at an early age. By providing classrooms and other facilities, such as toilets, the quality and uptake of education is improved for the pupils at schools in rural communities of Balaka district.
-
Girls' access to education is particularly enhanced by improved facilities. This is essential as at present fewer than half of girls in Malawi complete basic education.
-
By providing marketable skills to members of the local community. All our construction is managed and delivered by local people. Local people are learning management and accounting skills as well as sustainable building techniques. Local government has expressed a desire for us to spread these skills more widely in the community. Sustainable building not only supports rural development but also has a positive impact on Malawi’s greatest environmental concern - deforestation.
-
By providing educational initiatives for both children and adults, including online access to higher education and other internet-based learning and resources. Activity in this area has been limited in this reporting period.
-
(The nursery feeding programme continued this year, an initiative initiated and funded by one of our volunteers, Jess King. The Programme ensures all early years children at the Mlambe school receive a nutritious meal at nursery school. Funding for this now goes direct to the Malawi NGO rather than through the UK charity. )

Organisation and leadership
The leadership of the Mlambe project was unchanged from the previous year. Andrew May-Miller is manager and trustee with the other trustees being Lucy Ifould, Jon Hassain and Jon Ifould. Nigel Spicer continues to provide accounting advice and support to the trustees.
Other Volunteers
Volunteers have given wonderful support to The Mlambe Project. It would not have been possible for The Mlambe Project to get to where it is today without the ongoing passion and commitment of our volunteers based in the UK, Malawi, Taiwan, Australia and USA (and probably elsewhere).
Funding and summary accounts
Our total cash income in the year was £49,010 up 27% on the previous year allowing us to start the 2023/24 building programme before the end of the 2023 dry season.
This has been facilitated through a number of different routes including small grants, individual donations and corporate sponsorship.
Special thanks to:
-
Our regular personal donors who provide our funding foundation.
-
William May-Miller and all his supporters for his three year project to become one of fewer than 2,000 people to achieve a solo channel swim raising almost enough to build two classrooms.
-
Jon Ifould and Capital Group for their continued support, the fourth year in a row that we have received a substantial donation from Capital Group.
-
Manglibai Harida Khiara Charity
Thank you to all our donors who have made it possible for us to continue improving educational infrastructure and opportunities in Malawi.

Structure, Governance and Management
The Mlambe Project became a registered charity with the Charity Commission of England & Wales on 17 February 2015 (charity number: 1160518). The trustees believed it was important to register The Mlambe Project both as a charity and as a company. Hence it was also incorporated as a private limited company on 21 August 2014 (company number: 9185866).
The Mlambe Project is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The charity’s governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which sets out the objects and powers of the charitable company.
Jon Hassain - Chair Lucy Ifould Andrew May-Miller - Manager Jon Ifould
Company law requires Trustees to prepare a financial statement for each financial year, which provides a true and fair reflection of the affairs of the charitable company, and of its incoming resources and the application of these resources, including income and expenditure. The following financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and complies with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities effective January 2015.
Trustees (who are also directors of The Mlambe Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company, and enable Trustees to ensure that the financial statement complies with the Companies Act 2006.
Trustees are also responsible for ensuring compliance with the Charities Act 2011, including submitting statements of account to the Commission, preparation and submission of an Annual Report and Annual Return to the Commission, and notifying the Commission promptly of any changes to the charity’s entry on the central register of charities.
When annual income is above £25,000 charities are required to have their annual accounts reviewed by an Independent Examiner or Auditor. Trustees have agreed upon the appointment of an Independent Examiner who we believe is in a position, both professionally and personally, to review the charity’s accounts independent of any supposed bias. Trustees are confident the chosen Independent Examiner has sufficient experience regarding charity SORP with which to undertake this audit.

Related Parties
The Mlambe Project charity works closely with an independent local organisation registered in Malawi, also called The Mlambe Project. The Mlambe Project NGO (C1491/2021) and The Mlambe Project in the UK share the same goals.
There is no formal association between The Mlambe Project (UK) and The Mlambe Project (Malawi),just a memorandum of understanding, but at present all UK funds go through our Malawian name sake.
Financial Review
The charity’s core funding is derived from a combination of small and medium-sized grants, personal donations and corporate sponsorship. We have built a network of organisations who support us that have been mentioned in the Fundraising section of this report.
Reflecting the modest size of the charity, the reserves policy is to ensure we have sufficient funds to meet the next three months spending commitments.
Trustees review financial and other risks as part of their regular meetings. The financial risks are considered minimal, as the charity only commits to spending funds it has already raised.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner’s Report
To The Members of The Mlambe Project For the Year Ended 31 August 2023
The Trustees, who are also the directors of The Mlambe Project for the purpose of the company law, are responsible for the preparation of accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2001 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act:
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity
-
Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My report was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and sect 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
b) To prepare accounts which accord with the accountings records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and those of the Charities Act; and c) Which are consistent with the methods and principle of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charitie
2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of accounts to be reached.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
| Recognition of income Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Legacies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. |

| Grants with performance conditions Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Support costs The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income |

| 2.4 ASSETS Current asset investments The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 16. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14. Intangible fixed assets The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights.
