Review of objectives
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CIO ARE: THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, THE PREVENTION AND RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN UGANDA IN PARTICULAR BY ASSISTING THE CHARITABLE WORK OF THE UGANDAN COMMUNITY BASED ORGANISATION KNOWN AS KNOWLEDGE FACILITATORS' CLUB, UGANDA [now known as KNOFU].
Advancement of education
The school, now renamed as New Dawn school, has grown, and we have supported to continued construction of classrooms and funding of the library, and help fund operations during lockdown.
Prevention and Relief of poverty
We continue to support a number of needy children, and have helped continue their education even during lockdown. KNOFU has continued its work with the poorest in the community, operating a savings scheme. They hope to make much more use of the new buildings for community training in 2022
Advancement of the Christian faith
We continue to support KNOFU in their operations, which have included starting a christian program in school, and operating a gathering for the sponsored children
How our activities deliver public benefit
We have had a number of programs this year where a number of individual beneficiaries from Lwemuna community are selected. The selection of beneficiaries has been done by KNOFU, who work and mostly live in Lwemuna village, and are well aware of the local needs. In particular, the family benefiting from a new house was carefully selected through assessment of needs.
We continue to monitor our programs, to ensure they remain accessible to all, and to do what we can to ensure that KNOFU treats people according to their needs.
Financial review 2021 Summary accounts: Opening balance: £ 1 145.69
Total income: £28 406.75 Total expenditure: £27 726.02
Closing balance: £ 1,826.42
The financial position has improved, with a large increase in regular donations, one-off non-specific donations, and one-off specific donations. With this, we have been able to provide a lot more support for the school, and support more construction projects.
Income : £28 406.75
We have received a number of different streams of income. Regular donations have increased, and this year have been split into regular child sponsorships and other regular donations. A number of fundraisers have held up. Contributions from new sources of revenue have occured this year, such as a contirbution for the library, and support as a chosen charity from Paypal. In particular, the sponsored walk was a particularly large fundraiser, and we intend to repeat this in future years.

Comparing with previous years acocunts, Regular donations have increased considerably. Fundraising for specific events has increased
considerably, particularly as a result of the sponsored walk. One off donations are considerably down on previous years, likely related to a greater number of specific fundraising events. As a result of higher donation income, gift aid reclaim has also increased.
Expenses : £27 726.02
The largest expenses remain school operations. The combined cost of school operations and construction has more than doubled compared to last year. With the depletion of KNOFU funds over the school lockdown, KNOFI has been able to increase expenditure towards school operations this year. The construction of new classrooms has also increased expenses in this area. Expenses in this area are likley to be lower in future, with the completion of the new classrooms.
£1745.02, or 5% of expenses were made in the UK, with the remainder in Uganda.

& operations
School buildings and operations funding has increased considerably on previous years, partially due to classroom construction. We do not expect to spend much on buildings in 2022, since we will now try to make effective use of the existing buildings. Staff spending was much higher than in previous years. As we hopefully return to normal operations without covid restrictions in 2022, we expect KNOFU will be able to gather more of its own income.

Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention, which gives reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep the accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the financial statements.
(a)Accounting Convention
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis, which is dependent upon the availability of adequate continued funding. The nature of the CIO’s funding is inherently uncertain as it is only agreed by the funding bodies each year. Should funding be discontinued in future years, the CIO would have to find other sources of funding or significantly curtail its activities.
The accounts have been prepared in compliance with and in accordance with the Statement of Recommendation Practice for Charity Accounts.
(b)Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets less their estimated residual value over their expected useful life on the following basis:
Equipment
25% per annum straight line
(c)Income
Income is brought into the account on the basis of amounts received in the accounting period, or receivable at the accounting date and no provision is made for any actual or contingent liability to repay surplus grants. Voluntary income and donations are accounted for as received by the CIO. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs where material.
(d)Restricted and Unrestricted Funds
The accounts distinguish between restricted and unrestricted funds. Restricted funds are received from donors and are subject to restrictions on the purposes for which they may be used. Unrestricted funds are those where there are no externally imposed restrictions. They include those freely available to the CIO for expenditure or appropriation to reserves for internally designated purposes.
(e)Fundraising costs
Fundraising expenditure comprises costs incurred in inducing people and CIOs to contribute financially to the CIO’s work. This includes the cost of advertising for donations and the staging of special fundraising events.
