LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2024
The trustees have pleasure in presenting the report and accounts of Lasallian Projects for the year ended 31[st ] August 2024.
Constitution and organisation.
Lasallian Developing World Projects (LDWP) was a charitable work of the Province of Great Britain of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools Charitable Trust, a charity governed by a trust deed dated 24 July 1947, as varied by a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 12 November 1987 and a Deed of Revocation and New Appointment for Charitable Trusts dated 17 May 1989, and registered with the Charity Commission, Charity Registration No. 232632 (known as the DLS Trust).
The LDWP, founded in 1985, evolved into Lasallian Projects on 1st November 2018 and is now a separate Registered Charity and Ltd. Company but is still supported by the DLS Trust and operates along the same lines.
Principal aims and activities
Lasallian Projects provides funds for the development of educational facilities in poorer countries and involves teams of young people in helping with construction work and teaching programmes. After their project it is expected that the participants will share the fruits of their experience with other people, continue to support development plans for the poorer parts of the world and join campaigns to eliminate injustice and poverty across the globe.
Lasallian Projects is also active in promoting Development Education for young people in Britain.

LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2024
ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR
Recruiting was done to enlist young volunteers for a project group for summer 2024. In July a group of 10 students travelled to Kenya to spend 5 weeks working at the construction new housing for teachers and doing some teaching in the school. Br John Deeney and Julia Starczewski accompanied the group to offer the benefit of years of project experience. The £14,000 cost of the building was provided by the charity through fund-raising in the UK and the local people contributed labour in the preparation of the building site.
Once the group were in place the building proceeded at a good pace under the direction of local builders. There was sufficient manual work for the group and the teachers were very happy to offer them opportunities in the school. The schoolchildren, aged from 8 – 15, were eager to learn and greatly appreciated the input from the volunteers. Amazingly, 18 year olds teaching classes just a bit younger than themselves worked brilliantly and the UK students were justifiably pleased with their achievements.
Abossi is a fairly remote area (50 minute drive to a supermarket) so the group lived a simple life, happily managing without luxuries but appreciating the wi-fi, though the school only has 3 computers. The Maasai Mara was within striking distance so a long day out provided outstanding memories and encounters with wildlife. By the end of the 5 weeks the major building work had been completed and the finishing work would be competently carried out by the small building team.
Fr. Ambrose provided a full report on the building project and summarised the impact of providing housing for teachers:
-
“Learning and school timetable will be well carried out due to the full-time availability of the teachers who previously would trek long distances to school.
-
The security of both leaders and teachers will now be assured.
-
The school children will have more time for studying than before when they could spend most of their time waiting for the teachers to arrive in school. Their academic performance will improve. Due to close supervision of teachers there will be increased safety for girl students with better rates of retention and completion of schooling.”
Other activities during the year involved routine administration and continuing use and expansion of online media to train volunteers, maintain contact with former project members and to advertise the projects. A modest amount of fund-raising was undertaken, with the Director visiting parishes for this purpose.

FUTURE PLANS
Plans are in place for a student group to travel to Ghana in July/August 2025. Two teachers will also travel to Abossi, Kenya to visit and assist in the school and we will aim to provide more computers. Sponsorship will be provided for building work in both of these destinations.
Information about the project activity is being circulated and we hope that it will be possible to run more than one project in 2026.

Activities during the year (Contd…)
Funding
All funding over the year for the project expenses came from private donors, group members, schools and parishes and fund-raising events. The administration was funded entirely by the Brothers of the Christian Schools charity.
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities on page 11 shows an overall positive net movement in funds for this year of £31,899 (2023: £17,244). As at 31[st] .August 2024 the charity had total funds available of £181,284 (2023: £149,385) of which £nil related to restricted activities.
Reserves policy
Given the charity’s relative infancy, the development of the charity’s activities and its associated financial requirements have not yet been clearly established. At this point in time the reserves policy being considered is that the charity should endeavour to have sustainable general or “free” reserves equal to at least six to twelve months’ expenditure.
Directors and trustees
The directors of the charitable company (the charity) are its trustees for the purpose of charity law. The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:
Directors/Trustees:
John Michael Deeney Matthew Peter Diakun Marie Elizabeth McCarney Nicholas Sellors Louise Mayhook Peter Murphy Corwyn Hall

LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2024
Trustee induction and training
New trustees undergo an orientation process to brief them on: their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction process they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisation
The board of trustees, which has a minimum of 4 members and a maximum of 12, administers the charity. The board meets at least twice a year and there are sub-groups covering development, finance and accounts. A Director is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Director has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and performance related activity.
Related parties and co-operation with other organisations
None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with a supplier must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
Risk management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
● an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces;
● the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
● the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that as a new charity financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank, and active financial management to ensure sufficient working capital is held by the charity. Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from the travel destinations of the charity’s volunteers. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these geographical and operational areas.

LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2024
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
● select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
● observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
● make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
● state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
● prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website (if applicable). Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
By order of the board of trustees

LASALLIAN PROJECTS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LASALLIAN PROJECTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2024

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. Since this charity also has a presence in Scotland then the trustees are also responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

3. Accounting policies (cont.)
Gift Aid
Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the respective donation has been recognised and the recoverable amount of income tax can be measured reliably; this is when the donor has completed the relevant Gift Aid declaration form. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is allocated to the same fund as the respective donation, unless specified by the donor.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.
Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs of dealing with the administration of individual and corporate membership subscriptions.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management and include governance costs associated with a) the general running of the charity, b) meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and c) costs linked to the strategic management of the charity and which contribute to its future development.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
