Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	Summary of Main Activities and Public Benefit During the reporting year, the Foundation continued to advance its charitable purpose of improving access to essential healthcare and supporting community wellbeing in remote areas of Fiji. The main activities undertaken in pursuit of this purpose, and for the direct public benefit, are summarised below. Fundraising and Income Generation The Foundation raised a total of £11,284.97, primarily through JustGiving donations from members of the community. Although the charity operated with limited capacity for organised fundraising events, the donations received provided vital resources to progress our healthcare-focused mission. These activities directly support our purpose by enabling the delivery of essential services and infrastructure in underserved regions. Health Clinic Development on Beqa, Fiji Income generated during the year was allocated toward one of the Foundation’s key projects: the construction of a new health clinic on the remote islands of Beqa. This project aligns directly with our charitable objective of improving healthcare access for isolated communities.

Activities undertaken during the year included:

Preparatory planning, coordination, and engagement with local community leaders and partners.
Budgeting for materials, logistics and initial construction work.
Oversight of the early implementation phase of the clinic build.

Although the clinic reached full completion in November 2025 and outside the accounting period covered by this report, the groundwork and investment undertaken this year were essential to the successful delivery of the project. Once fully operational, the clinic will provide direct public benefit by offering accessible primary healthcare services to the residents of Beqa. A fuller account of the clinic’s completion and community impact will be documented in next year’s report.

The Trustees confirm that all activities carried out during the year were undertaken wholly in line with the Foundation’s charitable purposes and with due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The health clinic project represents a significant advancement of these purposes by addressing health inequalities, supporting community resilience, and improving quality of life for beneficiaries in Fiji.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Summary of the Main Achievements and the Difference Made to Beneficiaries. During the year, the Foundation made meaningful progress towards its mission of improving healthcare access and community wellbeing in remote regions of Fiji. Although operating with modest financial resources and limited organisational capacity, the charity achieved several significant milestones that have delivered tangible benefits to its intended beneficiaries and contributed to broader societal good. 1. Strengthening Access to Healthcare for Remote Communities - A central achievement of the year was the advancement of the Beqa Health Clinic Project, an initiative designed to address the longstanding lack of accessible healthcare on the remote islands of Beqa.

Funds raised throughout the year enabled the Foundation to move the project from planning into active development, laying the essential groundwork for the facility’s construction. Key achievements included: Securing sufficient income to initiate the build. Coordinating early-stage construction activities with local partners. Ensuring the project met the cultural, environmental, and practical needs of the community it is intended to serve. Although the clinic’s final completion occurred shortly after the end of this reporting period, the progress made this year was instrumental in delivering a facility that will have a profound and lasting impact. Impact on Beneficiaries: Once operational, the clinic will provide residents with safe and reliable access to primary healthcare, reducing the need for long and often hazardous journeys to mainland medical services. The project directly addresses health inequalities by giving communities in remote island settings the same basic rights to healthcare enjoyed elsewhere.

Despite limited capacity for formal fundraising, the Foundation successfully inspired strong community engagement, raising £11,284.97 predominantly through grassroots contributions. This achievement demonstrates not only financial support but also increased awareness of the challenges faced by Fijian communities and the importance of equitable healthcare provision. This collective support has ensured that vulnerable populations in Beqa receive sustained attention and practical assistance. We continue to build a long-term foundation for future projects that will further benefit.
