Sponsorship Scheme:
At the heart of UgandAid is the sponsorship scheme, through which we offer hope to vulnerable youngsters, the poorest of the poor in Uganda (our current area of operation), by sponsoring vocational training (primarily at Nile Vocational Institute) leading to personal growth, **Summary of the main** confidence, employment and self-sufficiency.

Volunteers:
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
All Trustees work on a voluntary basis. In addition to the Trustees, we have an Operations Team. The Operations Team manage UgandAid on a day-to-day basis, within any parameters set by the Trustees. At the start of the year there were 6 Trustees, who are also on the Operations Team, along with 5 other volunteers. During the year 2 Trustees stepped down and weren’t replaced and 2 of the additional volunteers also stepped down.
A Fundraising & Marketing Team was established during the summer, made up of 2 Trustees, 1 other Operations Team member, plus 5 others. Anyone joining an annual team visit to Uganda are also volunteers. From time to time, one of these volunteers may give a presentation to an organisation, such as a school, college or company.
UgandAid would not be able to operate without volunteers.
## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Our work has been twofold; the sponsoring of students at Nile Vocational Institute and practical and financial support of local institutions.
For the start of 2023 we were able to advise NVI that we could take on 45 new students, along with 10 upgrading students.

|Section D|Achievements andperformance|
|---|---|
||With so many people joining the 2023 Team Visits there was much
achieved. The College Medical Centre was refurbished and a few items
of equipment purchased. Additionally, the Catering Department training
kitchen, with five work stations and practice dining room were completely
refurbished. We were also able, with the help of the Food & Beverages
Manager at our hotel, to provide made new stainless steel work tops for
each station, along with a new chest freezer, American style fridge, ice
cream maker, juice dispenser, deep fat fryer and washing machine. All
items required as detailed by the Ugandan Ministry of Education &
Sports.
Both Teams had the opportunity to meet and spend time with all 117
UgandAid sponsored students, including the new intake of 45 whom had
just arrived.
We were able to visit the homes of four of the students in local villages
and the home of a previous student in the local slum.
Team A hosted all students for games and picnic in a local park. It’s
amazing to see and hear teenagers enjoying a parachute game, skittles,
an egg and spoon race to name just a few. The place was full of laughter
and joy.
At the end of the four weeks we hosted a Ugandan style garden party, at
our hotel, with cake (made by a past catering student) and sodas, for
around 25 alumni and several members of NVI staff. Several shared
their stories and how their lives had changed as a result of being
sponsored, to study at Nile Vocational Institute.
It was wonderful that having seen the difference sponsorship can have,
12 people who had joined us for the first time chose to sponsor a student.|

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/10/ 2023.
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
