Annual Report 2024/25 For the period 6th October 2024 — 5th October 2025
The Trustees of Project Partners Education CIO are pleased to present their annual report for the year ending 05/10/2025 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).
## Our purposes
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
## Our activities
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.

## Achievements and performance
During the reporting period, the charity further developed its Project Maths programme, building on the success of the initial pilot. Curriculum content and teacher support materials were refined to ensure the programme was ready for delivery at a significantly larger scale. In addition, the programme was accredited by Ghana's National Teaching Council (NTC), enabling participating teachers to receive officially recognised Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. This accreditation provided independent recognition of the quality of the programme and its alignment with national educational standards. Towards the end of the reporting period, recruitment commenced for the next cohort, with the intention of reaching up to five times as many teachers as participated in the initial pilot.
The charity also strengthened its strategic partnerships during the year. Its collaboration with the Ghana Commission for UNESCO was extended, providing a stable long-term foundation for the charity's planned activities in Ghana and supporting the continued delivery and expansion of its educational programmes. The partnership also underpins the framework through which NTC accreditation can be maintained as the programme grows. In the United Kingdom, the charity was honoured to be invited to Westminster to participate in the official celebrations marking Ghana's Independence Day, reflecting its growing engagement with key Ghanaian stakeholders and the wider Ghanaian community.
These developments represent important milestones in the charity's strategy to expand its impact while maintaining high standards of quality, sustainability and partnership. By strengthening both the programme itself and the institutional relationships that support its delivery, the charity is well positioned to scale its activities in Ghana, increase the number of teachers it supports, and deliver lasting educational benefits to teachers, pupils and the communities they serve.
## Financial review
In this financial period, the charityʼs income was £500. The majority of this came from the Lloyds Matched Giving scheme. Expenditure was £60. 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 fixed costs, the financial

sustainability of the Charity in the short term is firm. During the period, we switched our account from Lloyds Bank to the Cooperative Bank.
