For the period 6th October 2021 — 5th October 2022 The Trustees of Project Partners Education CIO are pleased to present their annual report for the year ending 05/10/2022 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Project Partners Education CIO Constitution (amended 6th May 2020) and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). The Charity operates according to its CIO Association Constitution as registered on 7th May 2020. Accordingly our purposes are: For the public benefit to advance education among children and young people aged 25 and under in England, Ghana, and such other countries as the trustees shall from time to time determine, in particular but not exclusively by: - a) providing and assisting in the provision of educational programmes, resources and services designed to supplement their learning curriculum and develop their individual capabilities, competencies, skills and understanding in subjects of educational value - b) providing teachers with resources and guidance to support their continuing professional development In setting our purposes and when planning activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commissionʼs guidance on public benefit. Our key activities are: - 1) Development of context-based learning materials for Maths; - 2) Development of context-based learning materials for meta-cognitive skills; - 3) Development of supporting materials for teachers, parents, and guardians; - 4) Advancement towards the adoption of pedagogical methods with a focus on learner engagement and context-based learning. 1 The primary goal over this 12 month period has been to further develop our top-level strategy towards maximising the positive impact of our future work. To this end, we have successfully established a partnership with the world-leading, multilateral education organisation, UNESCO. In particular, we have partnered with the Ghana Commission for UNESCO—a semi-autonomous governmental organisation falling under the remit of the Ghana Education Service—to significantly scale up our educational work in Ghana over the coming years. By partnering with the Ghana Commission for UNESCO, Project Partners gains not only an important ally within the Ghanaian government, but also a valued collaborator which shares many of our same objectives. The present aim of the partnership is to further refine our mathematics programmes in order to ensure their compliance with Ghanaian curriculum and teaching requirements and, from there, to initiate a wider rollout across the UNESCO-managed ASPNet schools in Ghana, numbering more than one hundred schools nationwide. We anticipate that this development work will take place in an ongoing manner during a pilot phase of deployment. We also seek to strike a balance between implementing new elements within our existing programme materials and setting manageable goals that do not impede the positive impact made by our active work with learners and teachers. To continue our successful growth, driven further by our strategic partnerships, we have spent much of this period looking at how to ensure that we can sustainably meet expectations going forward. Such expectations will come from our beneficiaries (learners, teachers, and their communities), our partners, and our supporters (both financial and otherwise). To meet these expectations, we continue to search for expert advisors who can help us achieve our objectives. We also continue to prepare strategies to support our grassroots, activistic approach to branding and marketing that we intend to adopt as an organisation towards our charitable aims. Once we are satisfied that our personnel, presence, and programmes are in a state of readiness, we will be well-placed to launch more assertively into the next phase of our organisation. 2 **(Image) The first meeting in Accra, Ghana to establish the partnership between Project Partners and the Ghana Commission for UNESCO (GCU). 13th May 2022** From le�: Kofi (Officer in Charge of Education, GCU), Mr Asare (Chief Programme Officer, GCU), Moses (Principal Programme Officer, GCU), Tom (CEO, Project Partners), Jonny (Chair, Project Partners), Madame Nerquaye-Tetteh (Secretary General, GCU) The charity continues to operate **without cash flow** either in or out. Furthermore, since our registration as a CIO in England and Wales we have not sought any funding and we therefore also **do not hold any reserves** . It is the Trusteesʼ opinion that the leanness of our operations remains overall a strategically advantageous trait. However, to continue to grow in impact it will be important to secure reliable sources of funding. This is a priority to prove the viability of the continued existence of the Charity in the long term. However, with a small, dedicated volunteer team and zero overhead costs, the financial sustainability of the Charity in the short term is firm. We have also advanced in this way by means of securing a new bank account with Lloyds Bank, a leading UK bank. 3 The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by its CIO Association Constitution as registered on 7th May 2020. There are currently four Trustees and one further member. Membership of the CIO is open to anyone who is interested in furthering the charityʼs purposes, and who, by applying for membership, has indicated their agreement to become a member and acceptance of the duty of members set out in 9.3 of the constitution, and who has had their application approved according to 9.1B of the constitution. Trustees are appointed via member vote at the AGM, as per the constitution. **Charity name:** Project Partners Education CIO **Other names the charity uses:** Project Partners Education; Project Partners. **Registered charity number:** 1189396 **Website:** https://projectpartners.org ## **Charityʼs principal address:** Packhams Coach House 36 Station Road Fordingbridge SP6 1JW ## Membership CEO - Thomas William Shering ## **Trustees** Chair - Jonathan Thomas Louis Jackson Secretary - Sophie Anne Martin Treasurer - Saiyara Uddin Trustee - Renette Mbroh ## **Approved by the Board of Trustees on Monday 31st of July 2023 and signed on their behalf by Jonathan Thomas Louis Jackson, Chair** 4 **Charity Name No (if any) Project Partners Education CIO 1189396 Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 06/10/2021 05/10/2022 |**Section A Receipts and payments**|**Section A Receipts and payments**||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |**A1 Receipts**|**Unrestricted**
