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 Fundraising by New Routes UK has
enabled our Kenyan NGO to continue to
support 4 full time university students from
our first intake. At the current rate of
funding there is sufficient funding to
support these students to the end of each
of their programmes (Dec 2023, Sept 2024,
Dec 2024 and Dec 2025).
We also secured funding for the community
programme which saw 6 beneficiaries be
taught, mentored and discipled for 3
months.
We hope to secure funding for 2 more
students to join our university programme
in June 2023.

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 Our objective was to raise sufficient funding
to allow New Routes Foundation to
continue mentoring, discipling, and
educating our first intake of students until
the end of their programme years
(2023,2024,2025). This
objective was met as we gained enough
funds for each student to finish the
programme.
A second objective was to raise sufficient
funds to allow New Routes Foundation to
continue employing local Kenyan staff. This
objective was met as we gained enough
unrestricted funds to continue the
employment of a local Kenyan staff
member.
Our third objective was to raise enough
funds to start our community outreach
project, where we went into a local Kenyan
school and taught, discipled and mentored
6 students. This objective was met as we
gained enough to run this programme and
it was a wonderful success.
Our last objective was to start raising funds
to secure 2 new students in June 2023. We
have started to gain new sponsors and
donorsinpreparation forthis.
We have successfully run a couple of
fundraisers (Christmas Appeal and Fantasy
Football) which has enabled us to fund
