Mandhla Samuel Dhlodhlo (appointed 28 July 2021)
The charity was originally established as a CIO dated 3 February 2021 and is registered with the charity commission, NO 1193385. The Charity’s address is 2510 The Quadrant, Aztec West, Almondsbury, Bristol, BS32 4AQ.
Objects, Organisations and Activities
The Charity’s aims are to advance the health and education of children and young people in Southern Africa through the provision of school fees, school uniforms and educational equipment, food hampers, health checks and any other the Trustees see fit.
Corporate and individual donations are sought in order for the charity to meet its aims. The charity also organises fundraising activities to boost the total donations.
Review of progress and achievements and finances
In the period, the Trustees have made a significant effort to promote the charity in order to gain as many donations as possible to aid the objectives of providing school aged females in Southern Africa with education and required items to assist with that.
We have been able to assist many school girls with their education in Zimbabwe and are now in a position to push this into other Southern African Countries.
The Trustees are grateful to Catalyst Care Group, the charity’s platinum sponsor, and all other individuals and businesses that have donated and assisted with the charity.
On behalf of the Trustees

Catalyst Foundation Independent Examiner’s Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
I report on the accounts of Catalyst Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet and the related notes.
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with s.43(3) of the Charities Act 1993. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do no accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of members of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
-
(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
