Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The Charity was set up with the objective of providing relief for people in poverty.

Over the period April 2023 and March 2024, the charity has undertaken donated mainly from donations from trustees and friends of trustees but no fundraising activities were held per se. - we have used this income to develop continue the project in the Gambia that will support locals who ordinarily wouldn’t have access to education to learn new skills. The school currently being built, and we hope to have this ready in 2025 We have held quarterly meetings via Zoom to discuss how to continue to develop our work in the Gambia and trustees have been working to generate some incomes through fundraising which has so far all been sent to the Gambia for our projects there. The costings have increased for materials, and it is very unstable. We need to raise another 15000 pounds to be able to finish the project moving forward. We did not have a bank account until May/June last year, which is now with Unity Trust. We also just launched a new website which will help raise funds. We hope to be able to start to get sponsorships for children prior to opening the school and use these funds to finish the project.
