- (b) the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities;

- (2) To advance the education of disadvantaged and wider global communities, in subjects related to sustainable development and the protection, enhancement and rehabilitation of the environment. To promote a platform of exchange, study and research in such subjects provided that the useful results of such studies are disseminated to the public at large.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This describes the Kurikindi Foundation’s main achievements in its fourth financial year. During this time, we did not receive or spend any funds, or offer any services directly to the public. As in the previous financial year, this year was spent focussed upon continuing to develop the foundations of the organisation in order for it to fulfil its intended charitable functions in service to the public benefit.
During this year we further developed:
## **1) Our Policies**
We further added to, revised or expanded upon our organisational policies, specifically with regard to our:
- Disciplinary and Dismissal Procedure
- Charity Expenses Policy
- Trustee Payments Policy
- Financial Management & Control Policy
- Grievance Procedure
- Reserves Policy
- Risk Management Policy
- Serious Incident Policy and Procedure
- Whistleblowing Procedure
## **2) Kurikindi Foundation Website**
We completed work on the Kurikindi Foundation website build with design company Birds & Dinosaurs. The design process continued to encourage us to think deeply about how we want to represent our organisation to the public and engage effectively with our supporters.
## **3) Cranfield Trust Support**
In February 2025, we received support from the Cranfield Trust, looking at how to develop our governance. The learnings and actions we took away from this process was to:
- create an organisational Theory of Change based around the principle that original people have the capacity for selfdetermination in a rapidly changing world, but lack the training and resources required to contend with the increasing demands being placed upon them and their environment. With support from us and others as partners, they can develop the knowledge, systems and methods needed to protect their sovereignty and land, sustain their communities, and avoid exploitation and harm. In turn, they will be securely placed to offer the world their vital wisdom, so that we can then learn from them on how to sustain our human future upon this planet
- find professional-level support in managing our finances and guiding our Treasurer
- have a transparent process around tracking our international spending and monitoring the outcomes of that spending
Cranfield Trust members also complemented us on the professional design and execution of our website.

## **Section E Financial review**
There were no financial risks posed towards us as a charity during the **Brief statement of the** financial year. As a going concern, it will be our aim and responsibility to **charity’s policy on reserves** accrue unrestricted funds over time to help us further develop our infrastructure, repay the loans to trustees and build sufficient reserves. We have a reserves policy that will be revised in an ongoing manner as our project and running costs are better understood.
In not yet having generated any income or initiated fundraising, we have not yet decided upon an appropriate level of reserves. The intention is to build reserves in order to meet fluctuations in receipts and payments, cover any shortfalls in income, cover unforeseen costs and allow us to take advantage of new investment or programme opportunities. Reserves management is therefore a part of our approach to risk management.
**Details of any funds materially in deficit**
n/a – we submit accounts on a receipts and payments basis
