Section F

Other optional information

In March 2020 the charity took steps, in line with government advice, to help contain the nationwide outbreak of COVID-19. The charity has had to change how it operates by suspending trustee and management visits to Sierra Leone and passing the day to day running of projects to our volunteers in Sierra Leone. The Trustees are in regular contact with the volunteers in Sierra Leone, providing support and receiving regular project updates. All planned visits to Sierra Leone by UK volunteers have been put on hold until October 2023. Trustee visits have resumed. The charity has continued its activities using on-line communications, including holding trustee meetings and remotely overseeing the projects in Sierra Leone. All of our projects are continuing to run in Sierra Leone and the beneficiaries have been unaffected by the changes to our way of operating. To date there has been no significant impact on net income. Nonetheless the trustees are continuing to monitor income and expenditure closely and, if it becomes necessary, will take measures to mitigate any financial impact.

Section G Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
