Trustees meetings were held 2 times during the year in UK. In addition, regular discussion also took place among all trustees to further the objectives of the charity. No visits were possible to Itambira Island Seeds of Hope in Uganda (sister organisation) this year due to Covid 19.
Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed, based on their skills, knowledge, experience and interest, by the remaining trustees and made aware of a Trustee’s responsibility, the governing document, administrative, procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the Charity. They would receive copy of the previous year’s reports and a copy of the Charity Commission Leaflet ‘The Essential Trustee: What you need to know’
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the trust are for the public benefit of persons in Kabale District South West Uganda and surrounding areas. These include: the prevention or relief of poverty; the advancement of education; the advancement of the Christian Faith and the advancement of health or the saving of lives; and are being met through our sister organisation Itambira Island Seeds of Hope.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the period the charity received donations totalling £40,592 to support the delivery of the outcomes related to the objectives, as above. £30,175.00 was donated to support the work of our partner organisation in SW Uganda with the same objectives.
Grants made by Itambira Island Trust during the period have been used to support: Itambira Islands Seeds of Hope in the follow up on training programmes, project development, community outreach and an ‘Emergency Fund’ set up for support related to covid 19.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income in excess of expenditure in the year was £10,417. The trustees consider the level of funds held at the year end (£31,180.) to be appropriate for the provision of the continuing financial support in the coming year.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy to maintain unrestricted funds at a level sufficient to cover management and administration costs, to respond to emergency applications for grants which arise from time to time and meet on-going and future commitments approved by the trustees.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
Law applicable to the charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit for that period.
