projects.
So as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
Our original application for charitable status stated:
_We run leadership/life skills programmes using sport (rugby, football and cricket) as the vehicle for the learning and development process. We invite volunteers to support the projects and we base our work on local organisations - schools, church, other NGOs - to help with logistics and to ensure lasting impact. In each country we are building a cohort of coaches and facilitators to assist and, eventually, run the programmes._
**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)**
In October, we ran an Inspire programme for 60 girls in Kathmandu. We linked with the Padma Kanya School and the Laxmi Pratisthan charity. 12 of the girls came from the Kavre village and we visited the village as part of the programme. We were accompanied on the programme by the COO of the Bates Foundation, an organisation using Tae Kwondo to develop confidence and character. We have supported them in making contacts and establishing a presence in Nepal.
In February, we ran a full set of Inspire programmes in Sri Lanka. We ran a facilitation training programme and then a 3-day Inspire programme in Batticaloa then, the same in Trincomalee. It was an opportunity to reignite the Lead to Lead programme in Batticaloa after the Covid period and was very successful in doing so. We also initiated a new group in Trincomalee and supported the Bates Foundation in their work in Sri Lanka.
We have continued to donate funds for educational projects and small acts of kindness involving individuals (including heart surgery for one of our facilitators).
One of the trustees continued to support small projects in Rwanda with funds and consultancy to enable the work to continue but this has been on a personal basis rather than through Small Acts of Kindness. A Luxembourg based company has raised funds for the Berulo Foundation as a result of our interventions.

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
