safe keeping at the School of Oriental and Afri(xn Studies (SOAS). PNGCP'S archives were
temporarily Stor￿ with USPG'S archives in the Hop Exchange at London Bridge. These premises

documents for the Anglican Church arKI peoples of PNG are being transfe￿ed to DVD and will

The Trustees and wder Committee met four times during the year.
Three Newsletters were produced for UK SuPp￿￿r$ and shared with ACPNG arKI thair other
overseas partner agencies. The Newsletter is prcmduced in email fonnat and as a hard ￿pY since
several of our supporter group have indicated they prefer this. The Charity has an active website and
Facebook page.
We receive Newsletters from ACPNG Ihat are dislributed online to supfftrs and frtends.
Currently there are no PNGCP sponsored personnel from the UK worklng V￿th ACPNG.

Meeting held at Newton TheolchJi(al College (￿C) and ￿lebration of the 75th Anniversary of
Martyis. Secondary School in Popondetta. The Partners. Meeb'ng is held so that mission partners that

In September a SuppKlrters' Meeting was held at the Anglican communic￿ Office {ACO). Three
brothers from the Society of Sl Francis (SSF) who were in England following a Conference were able
to join us. Br Christopher John, the Minister General of SSF swike about hi5 recent visit to PNG. He
raised COn￿mS that few Brothers were joining and the Friary buildings were in need of major repairs
and upgrading over the next few years. It had been agreed that iwo Brothers from the Solomon
Islands would go to PNG to join the Chaplaincy Team at Martyrs, Secondary Sthool (MSS) when
their accommodation has been sorled OUL
A communion seNice was held in the Chapel and aft￿ lunch a film about Dogura was shown and a
video of MSS students singing at the Celebration Eucharist and other video clips of the event.
Financial Review and Reserves Policy
At the end of the year our reserves (unrestricted funds) were £72.256. (2022 £80,805). Our reserves
policy requires us to carry reserves sufficient to safeguard costs of any staff. In addition, the
Trustees ex)nsider it prudenl that unrestricted funds should be sufficient to provide one year's
operating expenses. During 2023, £5,958 was spent on administration plus £6,400 for the Trustees
travel to PNG. but we believe we hold more than sufficient reserves to safeguard the needs of
PNGCP.
Plans for future periods
We plan to continue sending money to the knglican prr4ects, parishes and Dioceses of PNG in 2024.
We will continue to develop our website arKJ our Facebook page. to in(xease our profile and
knowledge of our work.
We will continue our promotional activities within the UK and it is anticipated that we will initiate a
programme to welcome and support a member of ACPNG staff on a personal development visit to
the UK.
