ACCOUNTS 1 MAY 2021 – 30 APRIL 2022
Empower the Gambia was formally set up in 2012 and registered with HMRC in 2013 after Jo Heaven conducted annual visits with friends since 2008. The charity was registered with the Charity Commission in 2015 and supports women and children projects in rural Gambia. The charity works with 8 schools, has set up 3 community libraries along with paid librarians, sponsors over 180 children and resources and trains projects benefiting the rural communities we link with.
Fundraising was limited to a Bonfire Night event raising £63 but external fundraising and donations continued to come in from our supporters.
The sponsorship resumed after alternative arrangements in 2020/2021 by providing uniforms, exercise books and pencils. Several UK sponsors did not continue to sponsor so the charity paid the difference through a donation from The Emporium of Loveliness charity boutiques profits until new sponsors were found and late payments were made.
Tithing has continued through regular givers but this dropped to £55 a month until April 2022 when it increased.
Empower the Gambia successfully applied for an Openwork Foundation grant of £6500 to complete a new building for Daru Deaf Unit as it collapsed during the rainy season in the summer of 2021. The unit was completed in April 2022.
The Emporium of Loveliness charity boutiques raise funds for Empower the Gambia. We now have 5 boutiques in Marlborough, Malmesbury, Bristol, Stroud and Swindon. They are run by Joanna Heaven on a sole trader basis.
The charity boutiques have provided a constant source of resources sent out to the projects. The shops also raise awareness and sponsorship opportunities for the charity.
Gift aid has been claimed for 2021/2022 from donations, sponsorship and items sold in the charity shops raising £10784. There is a concerted effort to get all donors to subscribe to Gift Aid so more can be claimed in the future.
Expenditure has been directed towards the projects with £1120 being used for overheads to run the charity.
We sent five shipments with Moneypipe to the projects this year at a cost of £2120.
We built a new deaf unit at Daru Lower Basic school as the previous building in the dining hall was damaged in the summer rains. We also renovated the library at Daru Lower Basic
School as cracks were appearing. A ceiling was installed which keeps the library cleaner. The minibus needed servicing and insurance.
Joanna Heaven and her father visited the projects in April 2022 paying their own expenses (except the air fare for Joanna which was paid by the charity from a donation specified to be used for flights by Steven Heaven in 2020). Goodie bags were distributed, inspection of Daru library and deaf unit and new projects agreed with the communities including two new libraries at Samba Tako and Njoreen schools, supporting Bansang Youth Centre and further resources for all the schools we support. We were also able to finance repairs to the solar water pump at Sara Kunda Womens Garden and solar power at the Poultry Project.
Daily communication with Yerro our Gambian co-ordinator provided updates as well as photographic proof of project progress. Yerro communicates with the projects, schools and community links to provide information.
A part time Charity Development Manager was recruited to assist Jo to run the charity but they only remained in position for a month (over the period April – May 2021) so the expenditure on wages was minimal. There are no plans to recruit again for this position. Instead Jo will run the day to day proceedings while a Retail Development Manager, Claire Smith, recruited at the same time has been a successful addition (paid from the shop income) and released more time for Jo to concentrate on the charity. Claire also prepares the gift aid from the shops to be claimed by Jo
The trustees have met twice for the Annual General Meeting was held September 2021 and a second meeting in March 2022 as well as informal weekly communication to update on projects. The accounts have been prepared by Joanna Heaven and independently examined by Robert Jones of R J Financial Accounting Services Ltd.
