The Trustees and wider Committee met four times during the year.
Three Newsletters were prodU￿d for UK supporters and shared with ACPNG and their other
overseas partner agencies. The Newsletter is produced in email format and as a hard copy since
several of our supporter group have indicated they prefer this. Some leaflets have been printed
giving information about PNG and ways in which to support ACPNG. These were sent out with the
Summer Newsletter mailing and were distributed at the Supporters, Day.
The Charity has a new website with a direct donate facility and has an active Fa￿book page.
We re￿1ve Newsletters from ACPNG that are distributed online to supporters and friends.
Currently there are no PNGCP sponsored personnel from the UK working with ACPNG.
In April one of our Trustees, a former Bishop of Port Moresby was invite(i back to PNG to conduct the
retreat and preach at the Consecration of the new Bishop of Dogura. He showed some slides of his
visit at the Supporters, Day. The new Bishop was known to the Trustee as he was a priest in Port" .,. ,
mo￿bY at the time the Trustee was there.
In May. ACPNG Archbishop's PA came to the UK to participate in PNGCP'S Leadership
Development Programme with a view to strengthening the work of the National Offi￿, the way it
works with the five PNG Dioceses and with the overseas partners.

In Canterbury, having requested a finan￿ inpu( she gained insights into Diocesan and Parish
finance. fundraising guidelines and activitses and was introduced to an Open University finan
course. Software needs and an understsnding of Parish lrfe were met in depth in the Midlands and
visiting the Bishop of NO￿lCh and Sunday services in some villages in the Diocese of Norwich.
In London, she received guidance on how charity finances work and the practicalities of PNGCP'S
finandal relatlonship with ACPNG. London also involved a w￿k long involvement at the Anglican
Communion Office meeting key staff in the Anglican Alliance, attending the faCe-to-fa￿ management
meeting of the Intematlonal Anglican Women's Network.
There was rest time in Devon at the beginning of her stay and later in Scotland before attending the
annual PNGCP Supporters, Day.
The Supporters. Day started with the showing of three videos from the archive film selection -
Dogura 1976, PNG rural life development in the 1970's and a priest on patrol in PNG. Br Christopher
John, the Minister General of the Society of St Francis (SSF) was able to join us and gave an update
on the Brothers. projects, some of which PNGCP has helped to fund. The connecting of the electric
mains and some renovations to Haruro Friary were complete and the electric upgrades for the Sisters
of the Visitation at Hetune Convent close by, were nearing completion; intemet access for SSF
Provincial Office was being provided now that the building was watertight and there was an electric
supply and the provision of the Brothers, house at MMS as noted above.
A communion Servi￿ was held in the Chapel and after lunch the Archbishop's PA spoke about her
time in the UK and thanked all those who had arranged and facilitated her stay.
A member of the Anglican Communion offi￿ then spoke about herjob and how it links to PNG. She
explained that there are various networks and Commissions that are accountable to the Anglican
Consultative Council and that her job is to support these. There are 16 networks and 6 Commissions
including youth, the environment, the family, women, liturgical matters, law and legal advice.
Flnancial Revlew and Reserves Pollcy
At the end of the year our reserves (unrestricted funds) were £72,179 (2023 £72,256). Our reserves
policy requires us to cary reserves sufficient to safeguard costs of any staff. In addition, the
Trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted funds should be sufficient to provide one year's
operating expenses. During 2024, £6,834 was spent on administration plus £2.225 for the Trustee's
travel to PNG and £4,959 for the Leadership Development Programme, 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 Anglican projects, parishes and Dioceses of PNG in 2025.
It is anticipated that we will initiate an additional annual process of inviting any group in the Province
to apply for a small grant (maximum K5,000 about £900) for a need they have identffied.
We will continue to develop our website and our Fa￿book page, to increase our profile and
knowledge of our work.
We will continue our promotional activities within the UK.
