African Health Foundation Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2023 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023 Objectives and Activities The CIO exists for the public benefit, the relief and assistance of people in need in Ghana and such other parts of Africa, who are sick and may be near to death, in particular but not exclusively through raising awareness of the situation and conditions in respect ofend of life care in such parts of the world and through the provision of support. funds, or ServIS as the trustees may from time to time think The directors confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. Structure, Governance and Management nd The corporation was constituted as a foundation CIO on 2 February 2016. In the event of the corporation being wound up, the members, who must also be trustees, are not required to contribute any amount towards the assets of the corporation. Achievements and Performance The trustees have a specific objective to raise awareness and funds in the United Kingdom for the Rose Ananse Memorial Hospice, Kumasi, Ghana which is providing palliative care to patients and their families in the local area. Rev Charles Amoah retired as Executive Chairman ofthe Rose Ananse Memorial Hospice Care (RAMHC), Board during the period and Mr K Twum has been appointed as acting CEO in the interim by RAMHC. He and the other board members continue to liaise with both the local hospital and the Ghana Baptist Medical College. The Nurse Director of RAMHC continues to make telephone support calls and has increased number of house visits. We are yet to hear that there will be any increase in support staff from the health authority. Covid restrictions in the UK have limited efforts to pursue and develop our connections in the UK, though we have been able to maintain our links with Dr David Roberts of Oxford Brooks College. During the year the trustees met on-line on 28- March and 1th September. when Rev Gyamfi and Mr K Twum, the new CEO, were in attendance. . Financial Review Fund raising: There has been no fvnd~raising activity this year due to the effects of Covid, but we continue to have two regular donations and are planning ways to increase this in 2024. Amazon Smile discontinued their support during the period to concentrate on the larger charities. A make-a-donation link is now available on the website. Expenses: We have only one funded expense (web site) with other expenses being met individually by the trustees. Reserves policy The trustees believe it is appropriate for the company to retain a reserve in the company of roughly six months anticipated expenditure and will seek to take the CIO to that position as it commences its activities. In the opinion of the trustees, the state of the CIO'S affairs is satisfactory.
African Health Foundation Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2023 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023 (continued) Future Plans We have maintained and updated our social media presence in sites on Linkedin and Facebook. We continue to contact by mail and email to a number of Baptist Churches in the UK. We are still looking at possible ways of increasing awareness and fvnding. A number of suggestions have been considered including making contact with prominent Ghanaians in the UK, creating a media release and encouraging more use ofAmazon Smile. We hope to produce some fonn of presslmedia release/report to try to gain a wider audience. The result of the pandemic has limited our UK operation. and coupled with a downtum in the economy it is proving harder to raise financial support. We are still tying to estsblish a system where RAMHC Gan report quarterly on their operations and requirements. This is to be pursued in 2023 Although opportunities for speaking engagements continued to arise to enable us to raise awareness of the needs of the hospice due to the lock-down in the United Kingdom Malcolm Johnston was unable fulfil any of these. The directors hope in due course to be able to fulfil these engagements. Summary This year has been difficult with the limitations following the COVID19 pandemic, and the downtum in economy but we have been able to continue to support RAMHC raising funding and awareness. It is hoped that in the coming year we can raise the profile and generate enough funding for the work in Ghana to continue and expand.
