A number offund-raising events were held during the year, and the Founder attended |

| accounts. | career with cricketing contemporaries from |
|||||
| South Africa and Gloucestershire. The |
||||||
| audience included local cricket clubs, |
||||||
| cricket societies, and the general public. |
||||||
| This proved very successful in fund raising |
||||||
| terms, and resulted in further donations, |
||||||
| flowing into the Foundation (see financial |
||||||
| position below). This has also had benefits |
||||||
| in terms ofraising the Foundation's profile |
||||||
| in the UK. | ||||||
| The success ofthis fund-raising allowed an |
||||||
| expansion to bring physical education and |
||||||
| cdicket opportunities into a second school |
in | |||||
| South Africa to be considered. The |
||||||
| trustees are mindful that there is no point in |
||||||
| expanding ifthere is not a realistic prospect |
||||||
| ofsustaining the operations for the |
||||||
| foreseeable future. It is therefore very |
||||||
| pleasing to report that the foundation began |
||||||
| a coaching programme at Solomon |
||||||
| Mahlangu school in Cornubia, Durban) in |
||||||
| January 2023. | ||||||
| With the increased responsibilities that |
||||||
| come with the expanded operations the |
||||||
| trustees have decided to build up reserves. | ||||||
| The trustees are mindful that funding from |
||||||
| events featuring the Founder will reduce as |
||||||
| the years go by and that a suitable and | ||||||
| sustainable future fund raising plan needs |
||||||
| to be developed. | ||||||
| The charity ensured publicity and website |

| ambition to expand the coaching offered |
|||||
| into a second school was realised, with |
|||||
| coaching starting in the Solomon Mahlangu |
|||||
| school in Cornubia, Durban. Christmas |
|||||
| presents for the children at Solomon |
|||||
| Mahlangu school were donated by well- |

| wishers via the Mike Procter Foundation | in | ||||
| South Africa. | |||||
| Three additional coaches were hired to |
|||||
| take coaching into the new school, under |
|||||
| the supervision ofthe lead coach (Rodney |
|||||
| Malamba). Ongoing payment ofthe |
|||||
| coaches' salaries during the periods that |
|||||
| the school was closed (see above) | |||||
| provided an important source ofincome |
|||||
| locally. The coaches are providing regular |
|||||
| sports and cricket coaching for the children, | |||||
| which isa part ofthe curriculum that is |
|||||
| much appreciated by the Ottawa and |
|||||
| Solomon Mahlangu school governing board |
|||||
| and head teachers. | |||||
| This rounded package ofwelfare benefits |
|||||
| are now therefore being provided at two |

| schools in Durban, South Africa. |
