## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting the report and accounts of Lasallian Projects for the year ended 31[st ] August 2025. 

## **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 2025** 

## **ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR** 


## **GHANA** 

We ended up with a smallish group of 7 volunteers travelling to Kaleo village, Ghana, where we have conducted over 25 projects since 1991. This was our first visit since Covid interrupted our work and it enabled the completion of a pastoral building which was started in 2019. Fortunately, the walls were still 

standing although a certain amount of weeding was required. The local community were delighted to renew contact with Lasallians and made the group feel very welcome. One of the group was the son of a couple who were 

Adapting to the culture means tasting Pito. 

with a group some 20 years earlier. Another of the group was a teacher from Scotland who had visited Kaleo numerous times after travelling there with a project group many years ago. 

Summing up: “ _**Travelling in a tuk-tuk and going to the market in Wa were fun experiences. The project overall was an absolutely amazing experience. I had a great time and met some people who will hopefully be lifelong friends. I will treasure what I have done forever and it has taught me some valuable life lessons.”**_ 

## **KENYA** 

The possibility of visiting Abossi, where a group worked in 2024, was offered to teachers. Only two teachers from Basildon eventually took up the offer and spent just over 2 weeks of their summer holiday at the school. During that time they were able to do some work on the 2 classroom block sponsored by LP. One of the classes is a designated IT room. 



**Page 4** 

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

LP donated 10 laptops to add to the 3 computers already possessed by the school, so access to computers, though still inadequate for the 300 students, is considerably enhanced. When they were not working on the building site the 2 teachers contributed to lessons in the school; not exactly an idle holiday for them but full of enjoyment nevertheless.

## **MALAWI** 

This wasn’t our first ever year in the country but our veteran Julia Starczewski set out to create new links. Working with a local charity that has a foothold in the UK, she managed to raise enough money to build an infant school and then travelled out to give a hand and encouragement to the workers. Lara, from our 2024 Kenya group, travelled with her. The journey was long but the reception wonderful and the invitation to return irresistible. There are plans in place for long-term development of this rural area where much is needed, particularly in the area of education. 

## **UGANDA** 

Our normal practice is to travel and work with people on a sponsored building project. This year we gave a £2,000 grant to a Ugandan charity that works with young people in a deprived area. The contact came through Fr Ponsiano, one of our past coordinators. It was not suitable to travel there and we didn’t have the numbers either, so we were just happy to receive a full report from one aspect of the work of ERFUT.

“T _hank you Lasallians. By supporting our menstrual health programme, you have empowered many girls to stay in school and pursue their dreams without fear or shame. This is a lasting impact that will_ 


_resonate across families and generations. The intervention also planted the seeds for a possible income-generating activity producing sanitary pads among women’s groups in the parish.”_ 

## **NEW GROUND** 

A major step forward in the organisation of the projects was the appointment of a coordinator in Scotland in summer 2025. Aimee is based in Glasgow and will take on the tasks of visiting schools, dealing with applications and sharing in the preparatory training of group members. Her initial endeavours proved to be very positive and it does seem as if there is a resurgence in the desire of young people to volunteer. 

The year also saw us involved in routine administration and continuing use and expansion of on-line 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. 

## **TRUSTEES MEETINGS** 

Four formal meetings were held by the trustees in the course of the year. Trustees maintained involvement in the media presence of the charity and gave advice on finance and matters that affected the running of the administration and the choice of project. The organisation of the social event was handled by trustees. 

## **Other activities** 

We held our first post-covid social event in Glasgow in the spring. Some 30 people turned up for an afternoon pizza and chat. That generated momentum for a full-scale ceilidh to take place in the coming year. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Two groups have been formed for projects in summer 2026. One will return to Abossi in Kenya to construct an office and staff room. The other will return to work on the housing programme at RTU in Tamil Nadu, India, which we have visited on many occasions in the past. 

In the course of the year we anticipate that the De La Salle Trust will appoint a Volunteer and Youth Coordinator and that this person will take on some LP work, such as the organisation of volunteers from England and Wales.

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

## **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 12 shows an overall positive net movement in funds for this year of £46 (2024: £31,899). As at 31[st] .August 2025 the charity had total funds available of £181,330 (2024: £181,284) 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 (Resigned 05/01/26) Louise Mayhook Peter Murphy Corwyn Hall 

## **KEY PERSONNEL** 

The bulk of the organisational and financial work has been the responsibility of: John Deeney, Director 

Other significant persons have been: 

Marie McCarney, Chair of Trustees.

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

Lasallian Projects is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. 

Anyone over the age of 18 can become a member of the Company upon successful application and there are currently 9 members, each of whom agrees to contribute a maximum of £1 in the event of the charity winding up whilst they are a member, or within one year after they cease to be a member. 

## **Report Criteria** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 15 to 17 of the attached accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). This report has also been prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

## **Appointment of trustees** 

As set out in the Articles of Association the first trustees were the subscribers to the Memorandum. Subsequent trustees shall be appointed by recommendation from the existing trustees. 

## **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. 



**Page 8** 

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

## **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. 

## **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.

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LASALLIAN PROJECTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31[st ] August 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

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. The Charity Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply.

My examination is also carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

5. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and 

6. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 



**Page 11** 

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LASALLIAN PROJECTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **LASALLIAN PROJECTS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) AS AT 31[ST] .AUGUST 2025** 

## **3. Accounting policies (cont.)** 

## **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. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes. It includes the costs of all fundraising activities and events together with those costs incurred in seeking donations and grants. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

## **Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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. During the period under review, there were no judgements in applying the accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty which materially affected the financial statements.
