Two trustees and three volunteers **activities undertaken for the** travelled to Blantyre Eye Hospital to support the delivery of **public benefit in relation to** eyecare surgery and treatments alongside local staff. The visit **these objects** also provided an opportunity to train hospital staff, carry out maintenance on ophthalmic equipment and deliver essential consumables for ongoing patient care. As part of the visit, the team assessed the wider needs of the surrounding region, including a visit to Chikwawa District. This scoping work helped inform future plans for regular medical camps and longer-term support. 3 Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the past year** The successful delivery of the October 2024 medical camp represented a major milestone for the charity. During the camp, much-needed eyecare treatments and surgical procedures were delivered to members of the local community, many of whom had been on long waiting lists for care. Treatment was provided in partnership with staff at Blantyre Eye Hospital, helping to reduce pressure on existing services. A strong focus was placed on training and skills development, enabling local clinicians to carry out these procedures independently and reach more patients in the future. The charity also provided consumables to support the continuation of eyecare services beyond the camp and undertook vital maintenance on ophthalmic machinery and equipment, including updates and replacements. As a result of the camp, the charity has established strong working relationships with partner hospitals and developed a growing network of volunteers, providing a solid foundation for future medical camps and sustainable ongoing support. 4 Financial review Bank balance and reserves policy Bank balance as of 3151 March 2024 was £6,703.44.
