The  Board  of  Trustees,  who  are  the  trustees  for  charity  law  purposes, submit their annual  report and  the financial  statements of Kumba Association UK for the year ended 31 March 2024.

## **Governance and Management.** 

The Trustees hold individual roles and form the nucleus of the Management Team who administer Kumba Association UK 

The  Team  meets  quarterly  to  consider  and  decide  upon  all  aspects  of management of the charity including compliance with all legal requirements, budgets for projects and activities for the benefit of the local community. The Teams discussions continue to include strategic planning and working towards the vision for the charity. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the organisation is exposed and are fully satisfied that the systems and policies are in place to mitigate exposure to the assessed risks i.e. Health & Safety, Public Liability and Building and Contents Insurance. 

## **Achievements & Performance.** 

Thanks  to  the  generosity  of  funders  and  the  efforts  of  Trustees  we successfully gained funding for specific projects, this year particularly our very successful weekly soup kitchen programme for the homeless in the society. 

Our weekly meeting premises are clean and attractive and newly decorated throughout to meet the expectations of all who use and visit us during our weekly service. As a community organization, we are a part of the Love Your Neighbor initiatives support hub for those in need of immediate help and support during moments of societal discomfort.
