This committee of trustees is responsible for assessing any new student referrals for the sponsorship programme. The ongoing plan is to take on up to five new students a year. - The Kenya-based Committee plans to meet four times a year (using Zoom as necessary). Among other things, the accounts are checked. - Committee members are available to mentor/counsel the students at any time. - trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. ## **Section C Objectives and activities** The objects of the Timothy Wells Charitable Trust are the advancement of such charitable purposes for the public benefit (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time and in particular, but without limitation of the foregoing: - (a) the advancement of the education of persons in East Africa; **Summary of the objectives of the charity set out in its governing document** - (b) the relief of poverty, hardship and distress worldwide, and in particular amongst persons throughout the world who are persecuted for their Christian faith and persons in East Africa; - (c) the advancement of the Christian faith; - (d) the protection and preservation of the environment and the preservation of endangered species of animals; - (e) the relief of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or from cancer. **TAR** August **2022** 2 Funds from the charity are divided between East African Education Sponsorship and UK Charities (ratio between 90:10 to 70:30) at the discretion of the main trustee.

Each group of about 6 students was chaired by an undergraduate student (college/university). Two of the leaders were female students recently taken onto the programme. We listened to the students and made it a two-way communication. Timothy Wells visited for two weeks over Christmas 2021 after a 2-year absence due to the global Covid pandemic. We all (27 in total; 23 students, 4 committee members) travelled to Maasai Mara to stay two nights at Siana Springs Tented camp https://siana-springs.co.ke/. A Maasai warrior was our guide as we spent a day in the wildlife reserve viewing the animals. Activities during 2021 relating to the charity’s main objectives: ## **(a) the advancement of the education of persons in East Africa:** This year the charity sponsored 26 secondary school and further education students needing financial assistance, as identified by the Diocese, giving the individuals the skills and possibilities to progress further with their education and chosen career. The Timothy Wells Charitable Trust Alumni programme was launched to the students at the Mentorship Day in April 2021. The plan is to build an ongoing link with those students who have benefitted from the sponsorship of the Trust and to give them an opportunity to continue to be part of the Trust. The Alumni Certificate (see below) was handed out to a handful of students who, having graduated from the sponsorship programme, have gone on to build a strong future for themselves in terms of a career/vocation. Examples of two of the graduates who received this certificate are: - Antony Mwangi Munyua who has completed his Teacher Training Diploma in Physics and Maths - Lucas Murimi Waweru who has completed his vocational certificate in electrical car wiring and is now a self-employed automotive engineer **TAR** August **2022** 4 Section D Achievements and erformance p **(b) the relief of poverty, hardship and distress worldwide, and in particular amongst persons throughout the world who are persecuted for their Christian faith and persons in East Africa:** In 2018 the local accountant for the TWCT in Kenya opened a ‘Cooperative Finance System’ that the TWCT pays regular contributions to. Local people can borrow money from the account and pay it back with a low interest rate. Any profit on the account is returned to the Trust. We are continuing to make payments into the Cooperative Finance System in order to support the local Kenyan community. The cooperative tea farm in the Kirinyaga Diocese, sited on land purchased by the Timothy Wells Charitable Trust in 2016, continues to be managed with student participation, providing a good opportunity for selfdevelopment, teamwork and bonding. Various contributions to UK-based charities such as: Amnesty International, International Liberty Association, Barnabas Fund, Send A Cow, Gurkha Welfare Trust, Christian Solidarity Worldwide. ## **(c) the advancement of the Christian faith:** Various contributions to UK-based charities such as All Souls Church, London; St Helen’s Church, Premier Christian Media, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Evangelical Alliance, Jews for Jesus, Tearfund, Feba Radio, Langham International. **TAR** August **2022** 5 Section D Achievements and erformance p - **(d) the protection and preservation of the environment and the preservation of endangered species of animals:** Various contributions to UK charities such as National Trust, London Wildlife Trust, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, WWF UK, RSPB, Greenpeace Environmental Trust, Plantlife International, Friends of the Earth Trust, Kew Foundation, Soil Association, Fauna & Flora International. - **(e) the relief of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or from cancer:** Various contributions to UK charities such as Alzheimer’s Society, Cancer Research UK, Prostate Cancer UK, Tom’s Trust, Macmillan Cancer Support. **TAR** August **2022** 6 ## **Section E Financial review** As of 31[st] December 2021, there were financial reserves in both the **Brief statement of the** Trust’s UK and Kenyan-based bank accounts: **charity’s policy on reserves** UK: Barclays Community Account: £7,161.91 Kenya: Co-operative Bank Account 1,217,716 KES (Kenyan Shillings) = c£8,200 @ 147 KES:£1 FX) These funds are carried over into 2022 to continue the ongoing work of the Trust and in particular to ensure a continuing education opportunity for the sponsored students in Kenya with school and university fees paid in a timely manner. **Details of any funds materially** NA **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); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Of note, during 2021 the Kenya-based Trustees spent a significant amount of their time as volunteers carrying out a thorough approval process for new students to be accepted onto the Timothy Wells Charitable Trust’s sponsorship education programme in Kenya. This involved a fair amount of travel, visiting the families of potential students in their homes and doing due diligence to ensure they accepted those students who would benefit the most from the sponsorship. Due to the time commitment required for this crucial aspect of the running of the Timothy Wells Sponsorship Programme in Kenya, the Trust has decided to appoint a Charity Coordinator. The job vacancy advert for the Charity Coordinator role is shown below with the plan to appoint someone during the autumn of 2022: **TAR** August **2022** 7 ## **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 Full name** Timothy Wells **Position** Chair **Date** **TAR** August **2022** 8 ## **Timothy Wells Charitable Trust** ## **Year ending 31 December 2021** |**Date**
