One Mile Closer is primarily a fundraising vehicle, undertaking periodic fundraising activities on an annual or biennial basis. During the reporting period, it has received a small number of recurring monthly contributions, and attracted additional one-off donations in support of our fundraising activity. The nature of One Mile Closer’s activities may lead to significant variance between income and expenditure within any financial period.
The proceeds of fundraising activities are used to support charitable enterprises, primarily that of Nalango Secondary School, Uganda. The fundraising target for the FY24/25 year was to generate approximately £10000 needed to fund replacement of the kitchen at Nalango.
Fundraising activities once again took the form of a long distance bicycle ride. The balance of trip fees outstanding were collected during financial year 24/25 leading to inflows of approximately £8500. All additional income arose from donations received and GiftAid received in relation to those donations from eligible parties. The target amount was achieved, with full proceeds transferred to the project to build a new kitchen at Nalango. Works began in late 2024 with completion expected by mid-2025.
Looking ahead, One Mile Closer will conduct a review of it ’ s operating strategy, fundraising structure and beneficiary profile during FY25/26. We expect lower receipts & payments as a result.
Further details of the financial activities are shown in the financial statement and balance sheet below.
