NEW LIFE CHARITY TRUSTEES’S ANNUAL REPORT

Charity Number 1177737

Year Ending 31 August 2024

1. OUR PURPOSE

The objects of our charity include; The relief of financial hardship and sickness. The advancement of education and the preservation of good health amongst homeless children living in Zimbabwe aged 6 to 18, through the provision of day care centres, including the provision of facilities for their care, education.

2. WHAT WE DID IN THIS PERIOD

The main activities that our charity focused on are in relation to those purposes for the public benefit particularly those that generally focus on 12 core charitable areas, including:

ACHIEVEMRNTS

We have significantly improved the circumstances of our beneficiaries through the following achievements:

  1. We Launched community work in districts across Zimbabwe, in partnership with the Methodist church in Zimbabwe.

  2. To date, we have successfully organised three shipments of children’s clothing suitable for boys and girls aged from 6months to 18years to Zimbabwe. These items were distributed freely as donations to vulnerable children in communities in parts of Harare, Zimbabwe, and had a direct positive impact on those who received them. This project worked very well for the charity, we were able to meet with local communities, identify those in greatest need, and hear personal stories and testimonies from families we supported.

  3. We opened a dedicated bank account in the UK, to securely receive and manage. All funds and donations given for charitable activities.

  4. We have made direct, tangible impact by supporting

disadvantaged children, we pay fees, and provide essential items including school shoes, food, and uniforms enabling them continue attending their education.

We work closely in partnership with the Methodist church in Zimbabwe to distribute clothing and other supplies to local communities. The church has a dedicated team or department known Care Givers, who help us identify those most in need and ensure donations reach the right people

FINANCIAL REVEW

Our total income for this period was £43.66 And our total spending was 100.85, the charity did not spend any money and its bank account was frozen during this period.

During the 2023 –24 financial year the charity’s account was inactive and not used to build or hold reserves, the account was frozen during this period, which is why the closing balance was at zero. As a non-profit organisation holding no reserves is a deliberate choice made by the charity. We operate with a highly flexible but also underfunded model. While this approach carries risks –notably that we operate in a perpetual “Hand to mouth” way - the charity is functioning effectively and delivering its intended work under this model at present.

All money is used only for our charitable aims. However, due to our financial uncertainty, our future activities and work will be funded through fundraising events and campaigns, applications for grants, and contributions from individual donors and well-wishers.

SAFEGUARDING AND GOVERNANCE

We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation {CIO}. We are Incorporated and regulated solely by the Charities Commission. Our governing document is a constitution – this is the legally binding rulebook that defines our purpose, structure and how we operate, rather than a trust deed or royal charter. As a dedicated legal structure for charities; we follow all charity rules and safeguarding guidance. Our work does not involve unsupervised access to children or vulnerable adults, so no enhanced DBS checks were required (only basic checks were done where needed). Trustees meet regularly to oversee the charity. Our structure and operations are entirely defined and governed by our registered constitution, which is approved by the Charity Commission.
