These revenues, in the year in question, **activities undertaken for the** provided approximately 65% of total operating costs. **public benefit in relation to these objects (include within** Yomelelani currently educates 265 children aged from 3 months to 6 **this section the statutory** years. The school provides a structured education programme up to **declaration that trustees have** Grade R (6 years old).

The bulk of daily costs relate to staff salaries, staff training costs and nutrition costs to feed the children and the staff. It should be noted that staff are encouraged to enhance their qualifications and are supported in so doing by the school. The justification for continued support lies in the fact that Yomelelani is the only Zwelihle Township ECD that provides a structured educational programme that all but guarantees that its pupils will be granted a place at one of the two local Primary schools at their first attempt. The operational model as regards class size, quality of teaching staff, training support and managerial control are virtually unique within such a poor Township environment. March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **Section E Financial review** This year the Trustees changed the reserve policy. ## **Brief statement of the** **charity’s policy on reserves** In the past, the Charity has needed to distribute most of its income on a regular basis to cover operational shortfalls. The increase in local Cape Province grants means that, whilst there is still a sizeable funding need receipt of income is on a 6 monthly basis results in a “lumpy cash flow. the Trustees believe it would be wise to hold a reasonable amount in reserves to cover unforeseen expenditure. Currently, the Trustees are aiming to build a reserve, over time, of around £20,000. Funds in excess of immediate needs are held on a savings account in the name of the Trust **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); See Section D Funding is provided by several individuals who have a heart for the aims of Yomelelani ECD. Monies are also received from ad hoc donors who have visited the Township and seen the school in operation and been impressed. In addition 2 or 3 fund raising events are held each year - 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)** Gavin Masterton **Full name(s)** Richard Stone **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair Trustee **etc)** **Date** 22/10/2024 March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** ## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** **Report to the trustees/** Charity Name YOMELELANI TRUST **members of On accounts for the year** 31[st] March 2024 **Charity no** 1161202 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 -2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31/03/2024** **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
