We continue to conduct due diligence if selecting suitable charities that align with our objectives. By way of background information, the driving forces funding of the Trust have been from contributions from Gilham, Farlow and Innes and have not used Gift Aid nor have we sought contributions from other sources nor received any funds from the public or other sources. Finally, we have taken the decision to seek professional support to ensure we comply with the fiduciary requirements of the Charity Commission. ## **Achievements and Performance** After the success of the ambitious and challenging Project OYAM, GIFT has taken time to focus on smaller projects, lending subject matter expertise and the benefit of lessons learned to other suitable charities which fit our objectives. This includes the potential renovation of a latrine facility in the vicinity of the Oyam Memorial Hall likely to be completed in Q2 of 2026. The trustees have been conducting research and socialising potential project ideas in expectation of a substantial donation in the next 18 – 24 months. ## **Financial Review** The Trust is expecting significant donations in the next 18 – 24 months which will allow us to refocus on a future project but in the short term we are generating a number of potential project ideas which will do the most good. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The structure of the Trust is based on 6 Trustees including the Chairman. Trustees’ meetings are held remotely and in person quarterly to discuss the charities longer term strategy in expectation of a guaranteed significant donation in the future.
