Public benefit The trustees have pa(d due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission i) deuding what athwties the CIO shLiuld undertake. AchiÈvements and performance Significant èctivitl8s aGhiewements a98insl objectwes The most significant event in the reportin9 period was a fvn(Praising brfing and lun¢h held at Ditthley Park. This event was a considerable success.. Nett'one off donalions (after costs, offset by sponsorship) We appr0MatelY £12L Standing orders and recurring card payments amounted to approximately £7k pei annum. And 45 new donors We recruited_ The Trustees. wrth the c4)Maborabon wrth the Chair of Trustees of BET India. have sought lo strengthen BET UKS Due Diligence. Monitoring and Vetificalion pio¢%sses. by adding the following elements.. Each year, the use of BET UK funds be audrted by a Chartered Accountant, who will produce a 'Uts'lisation Certtficate. lo certify that all fvnds have been spent in accordance with BET UK'S Gharitable Obieds. The fiT5t such rtICate was produced in May 2025. The Treasurer ol BET UK will. each aututnn. audit the sthod s and BET India's Safeguarding polie$. pro¢edures and praCtiS. to ensure that they are compliant wrth BET UK'S Safeguarding Policy and that the resultant prOdureS have been implemented effecbvely. The school that the CIO supports continues lo perfomi well and to provrtle OPFW)rtunthes foi the rural poor of the villag6s of Baas. Gaiiatpur 8r)d Pandala. which would otherwise be unobtainable foi them. There have. of course, been many challenges. including changes to Indian law. which have affeded the status and govemance of the s(ool. However, we have every confidence that the trustees of BET India are managing these challenges effectively and will ènsure that the school wntinues to thrive for the foreseeable future. In order lo support the sd)ool trustees, arnbthons and to reduce reliance on BET UK donors, BET India tnJslee5 have been very su¢cessfvl in developng the donor base in India. In the finarrial year 24125. orbly 20°k of the school's running C051s came Irom BET UK donats"ons. lfi the long letrn, the BET UK Irustees hope to gel lo the point where the school does ntst rely on UK donath.ons for any of its day4trday running costs, instead using these donations lo fund bursaries, s¢holar5hips and speaal projects. We believe that this hjnding model will be a more resilient than one which depends on foreign donations for day-l(Hlay running.
