## **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.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
