Structure, Governance and Management** ## **2.1 Governing Document** Teso Education Fund is a UK registered charity. It is governed by its constitution adopted on 19 August 2020. The charity exists to promote development through mobilising resources, especially finances, providing grants, and implementing projects in education, skills training, and education related and community interventions in the UK and in Teso in Uganda and Kenya. ## **2.2 Appointment and induction of Trustees** As stated in the Constitution, the appointment of the trustees is staggered. Some trustees serve 3 years, some 2 years while others serve 1 year. Staggering the appointment of the trustees is aimed to ensure continuity, institutional memory and infusion of new ‘blood’. Appointment is done by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the trustees. Newly appointed trustees are provided with a comprehensive induction pack containing Teso Education Fund’s constitution and roles and responsibilities as charity trustees. Newly recruited trustees are oriented, briefed and mentored by established trustees on their legal obligations under charity law, the content of the constitution, the decision-making process, the objectives, strategies and recent financial performance of the charity. ## **2.3 Organisational Structure** Teso Education Fund is governed by its 6-member Board of Trustees which is responsible for setting the strategic directions and policies of the charity. The board carries out the ultimate responsibility for the conduct of the charity and for ensuring that the charity satisfies its legal and contractual obligations. Trustees meet every month to deliberate on issues that are important for the smooth running of the charity, including risk assessment, safeguarding, and management accounts. The Board of Trustees give their time on voluntary basis. They are never paid for their stewardship. For effective oversight of the charity, trustees work in committees including finance, fundraising, and programmes committees. Trustees also appoint volunteers including executive director to manage the operations of the charity and offer them much needed advice and support in the management of the charity’s operations. TEF is led by an executive director who is responsible to the board of trustees and leads the overall strategic direction of the organisation including fundraising and implementation of programmes. The executive director is assisted by 3 other directors who lead on specific areas including finance and administration, culture and community wellbeing and business and investment. ## **2.4 Major Risks** The trustees recognise that any major risks to which the charity is exposed need to be reviewed and systems put in place to mitigate those risks. To that end, trustees of TEF are continually monitoring and managing its risk register and ensuring that action plans are in place to mitigate its key risks. Included in external risks is that of loss or lack of funding. At present, the main source of funding are donations by friends, families and the general public, events and specific fundraising activities. The charity continues to continually seek to diversify its funding sources. It is in our plan to start applying to charitable Page **4** of **19** **Teso Education Fund (TEF)** **Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** trusts and statutory funders, especially Local Authorities and Lottery sources. Operational and internal risks are minimised by the implementation of policies and procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects, and by ensuring a consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable incorporation organisation (CIO). Trustees are periodically reviewing these procedures to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. ## **2.5 Public Benefit** The Charities Act, 2011 requires trustees to ensure the charity meets the public benefit principle. The trustees have been guided by the principle of public benefit. All the activities that the Charity has undertaken have been for public benefit. Our activities have had beneficial and measurable impact (as shown elsewhere in this report) and have been open to the public (language and culture lessons, community events, laptops) or a significant section of the target population (education scholarships). ## **3. Charity Objectives** ## **3.1 Objects** The objects of the charity as stated in its constitution are: 1. To advance the formal education of needy children for the public benefit by undertaking activities such as sponsorship and career guidance to support learners, training, motivating, and empowering teachers, and supporting learning institutions in Uganda and Kenya. 2. To promote the education of needy children for the public benefit by undertaking vocational training activities such as sponsorship of, career guidance, and apprenticeship to trainees, training, motivating, and empowering trainers, and supporting training institutions with educational materials and infrastructure in Uganda and Kenya. 3. To facilitate the education and skills training of young people for the public benefit by preventing or relieving poverty, undertaking healthcare interventions including psychosocial support, research, and all the necessary support designed to empower needy individuals, families, and communities to generate a sustainable income and be self-sufficient in the UK, Uganda, and Kenya. 4. To advance education and skills training for the public benefit by undertaking community education activities such as indigenous language education, physical education, environmental education, civic education, financial education, promotion of the arts and culture and games and sports, for communities in need in Uganda, Kenya, the UK, and online. 5. To advance social inclusion in education and skills training by ensuring that children with disabilities and other marginalized children who are at the risk of being excluded from the education and vocational training system are actively sought out and included in special needs educational and training programs in the UK, Uganda, and Kenya. In view of the above Teso Education Fund carried out the following projects and activities in the UK and overseas in Uganda in the reporting period. ## **4.

This graphs shows the number of sessions held each month. During the school breaks in the summer (August) and Christmas seasons (December), the lessons are adjourned until the school term starts. This explains the lack of figures in August and December. ## **5. Children and Young People** The charity carried out several activities for children and young people. In August, sports and social activities attended by nearly 50 children from age 3, young people up to age 25 and family members were organised in Kidbrooke Community Centre, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich during the summer school holiday. The activities included drawing; painting; table tennis; music and dance; board games; snakes and ladders; skipping; and bubbles, among others. The activities were varied to meet the needs of the variability of the ages of the children and young people. Even adults who accompanied their children participated in the activities and socialized. Page **8** of **19** **Teso Education Fund (TEF)** **Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** The other activities the young people took part in were presentation of career plans and talent show such as singing and dancing. There was also a discussion session designed to engage children on their experiences in life and issues which they have. The children and their family members also benefited from a talk from the Police in a session that engaged children on matters of juvenile crime – focusing on the issues that get children in trouble with the law and how to avoid such issues. Participants found the event very beneficial. ## **6. Community Welfare** In December, the charity held its annual dinner in Chandos Community Centre in the London borough of Newham. The dinner was organised to raise funds for the charity, celebrate the 3[rd] anniversary of the charity and to promote networking and social connectedness. Nearly 80 guests attended the dinner which was officiated by Mr. Umesh Desai, member of the London Assembly representing City and East. ## **7. Publicity and Promotion** In August, TEF was listed in the School and Collages website, an important global online forum for education charities. **SchoolAndCollegeListings** serves as a comprehensive platform designed to connect students, parents, and individuals seeking educational opportunities with reputable institutions. According to its website, “whether you specialize in primary education, higher education, vocational training, tutoring services, or any other educational offering, our website is the perfect platform for individuals to discover and engage with your institution”. This an online directory provides educational institutions with visibility. https://www.schoolandcollegelistings.com/ Besides this platform, the charity maintains web presence on several forums including on its website, Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/tesoeducationfund, LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12986033/, and X. In addition, we run several platforms on WhatsApp. All of these enhance the visibility and credibility of the charity both of which promote its work. ## **8. Networking and Partnership** The volunteers of the charity engage in networking and partnership building. Over the year, several networking activities were undertaken. For example, in April, the charity engaged Lango Association, UK, a UK charity organisation to explore the possibility of developing a partnership in providing education scholarships in Uganda for students from Teso and Lango regions in Uganda. In September, TEF held meetings with officials from Teso Educational Support Services to explore partnership opportunities. In October, the executive director attended a networking event by Uganda High Commission to celebrate the National Day of Uganda and in December, the executive director attended an online seminar organised by the Digital Poverty Alliance. During these events, TEF was publicized and promoted. ## **9. Financial Review** During the period under review, the income of TEF increased from £26,154 to **47,358** and the expenditure increased from £27,874 to **46,620** . ## **10. Reserve Policy** TEF is still a relatively new charity, just 4 years and has not been able to create any reserves, yet. Page **9** of **19** **Teso Education Fund (TEF)** **Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** ## **11. Principal Funding Sources** TEF relied on donations from its volunteers in the board and management, well-wishers and fundraising events. This took the form of funding specific activities or setting up regular direct debit payments. ## **12. Future Plans** In line with the mandate as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), Teso Education Fund plans to continue with its current programmes in education, culture, and community wellbeing. The charity will also seek to broaden its fundraising efforts so as to generate future income to achieve its purpose. The charity will specifically raise funds to address its capacity needs.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees for the year ending 31st March 2024** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 16 to 19 ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **Independent examiner's report** Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. ## Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the statement of financial activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs which relate specifically to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned between different activities on an appropriate basis e.g. time spent, floor area, per capita. ## **e. Foreign Exchange** Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All exchange differences arising are dealt with through the profit and loss account. ## **f). Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life as follows: **Computers 25%.** **Equipment 15%** ## **g). Investment Income Investment Income consists of interest earned on bank deposits.** Page **15** of **19** **Teso Education Fund (TEF)** **Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** ## **18.
