## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01 April 2024 To 31 March 2025** ## **Charity name: Community Action Ghana** ## **Charity registration number: 1188867** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The prevention or relief of poverty in Ghana
by providing items and services to
individuals in need and/or other
organisations working to prevent poverty| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Successful fundraising of £9651 to allow the
charity to undertake its objectives. This
included fundraising through craft fairs
though this was more useful in raising
awareness of our charity than raising funds.
The number of donors now giving regular
monthly donations continues to grow.
The planning and completion of a toilet block
in Mafi Abude using the restricted funds from
the Greenhall and Salter foundations as well
as donation from regular givers.
Community Action Ghana drilled a borehole
in Abunyanyana and installed a pump which
fed two water tanks. These tanks were put
on towers that the community had built at
either end of the village. We also replaced a
broken submersible pump and a cracked
water tank in another Abunyanyana
community using funds generously given by
a friend.
Books have been obtained from friends,
relatives and Book Aid International and
distributed to libraries that we have
previously renovated. One outstanding but| |||poignant gift was an Atlas that the librarian
at Alavanyo Kpeme library received with the
words ‘I have always wanted an atlas for my
library.’ He was welling up as he said this.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees at all times have had regard to
the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit and can
confirm that members of the communities we
have worked with this year have benefitted
from increased availability to clean water,
clean sanitation and books and a safe place
to read them to increase their literacy thus
improving their employability| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: SORP reference Grants are not made as such but the charity buys materials in Ghana so that projects can go ahead. Para 1.38 Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment We do not have volunteers in the normal sense but the communities volunteer their time and resources in the construction and Para 1.38 decoration of the projects. When this is given Contribution made by a monetary value it approximates to about volunteers half of the total cost of most projects. Not only is this in itself valuable but it also gives ownership of the project to the community. Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Community nurses have said that
community toilet blocks have led to a
noticeable decline in the number of infant
mortality.
The libraries are well used as indicated by
records of books borrowed and by the fact
that many of the books are showing signs of
use. The library in Alavanyo Kpeme is open
and constantly full from 6.00 am to 9.00 pm.
The communities also value the safe space
that the libraries provide for the youth of the
communities where they can gather in early
mornings and evenings to study in safe well
lit clean environments.
There is continued anecdotal evidence
showing that there is less antisocial
behaviour from the youth in these
communities.
Seamstresses in the communities we work
in continue to make bags of different sizes
from locally available cloth which we then
sell in the UK and a fair trade shop in
Hamlyn in Germany. This provides
employment in the communities we operate.
An electric sewing machine was donated to
us and given to a seamstress in Alavanyo
Dzogbedze to train her apprentices in the
use of electric as well as hand machines.
The website continues to be accessed
regularly and has been viewed in excess of
30,000 times.
It is regularly updated and blogs are
regularly posted. Comments have been
made about the positive way we keep
individual donors aware of our activities
through this medium.
We have started using wider social media
such as Facebook, Instagram and X to
disseminate information.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

Para 1.47|
We have raised £5,800 from The Green Hall
and Souter foundations and a further £7,766
from individual donors.
The number of donors giving regularly has
increased.
We are also raising funds by attending craft
fairs selling items made by seamstresses in
the communities we operate in, though this
is more of an awareness raising exercise
than a good fundraising exercise. We are
grateful for receiving Gift Aid from HMRC| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
