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	Work is ongoing to persuade the primary beneficiary to comply with the Foundation’s funding protocols. To this effect we have appointed a representative in Madagascar to pursue legal avenues and to negotiate with the beneficiary. Until that is achieved or an alternative compliant beneficiary is identified, no bank account has been opened and funded by the Foundation. We have recently been in touch with Barclays and have been referred to a special desk to open a bank account for the charity. Once a suitable beneficiary that will comply with the Foundations aims and supervisory requirements is available, a bank account will be opened and activities will commence. The Foundation is assured of funding.
