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	The forerunner to CHU (UK), PCM (UK), had over 13 years established much of the basic infrastructure for the two primary schools at Kyehimba and Kakagate. These included the provision of classrooms, dormitories, staff accommodation and a water-harvesting facility as well as buying land for crop production and supporting staff salaries. CHU (UK) has continued this work over the past 16 months, continuing to support staff salaries and funding the following projects: meeting the government requirements for the schools to re-open after the Covid lockdown, including the provision of 100 desks at Kakagate; bunkbeds for Kyehimba and the provision of mattresses and mosquito nets for both schools; extra funding for food when there was a shortage and prices increased; the provision of teaching equipment and materials; an increase in staff salaries; safeguarding training in both schools; completion of 4 classrooms at Kakagate; the provision of an office and equipment; seed- funding for projects to encourage employment amongst disadvantaged young people; fund-raising for the further provision of a reliable water supply for both schools; purchase of land for future development at Kyehimba. All of these projects have improved the lives and prospects for both the individual pupils and the communities associated with the schools.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	All of the projects funded this year from the general funds of the charity have been directly aligned to the aims and objectives of the charity. Although there is much still to be done, the progress made over the last 16 months has been roughly in line with the expectations of the trustees and supporters here in the UK, although

		probably fall short of the hopes of our partners in Uganda.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	The objectives identified by our Ugandan partners and adopted by us have been fully funded and realised, with the exception of the ongoing need to raise the staff salaries to a level comparable with state school salaries.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	n/a

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Receipts: £85,490 Payments: £71,386 Cash Funds: £14,104
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	Our Reserves Policy is available on our website. For the reasons stated (namely the lack of any contractual obligations, needs that always exceed the available funding, a generous and responsive support base and the lack of any costs should the charity close), we hold approximately one month’s funding for the work in Uganda in a reserve account, to minimise the risk of an interruption to our regular funding.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£2,000
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	n/a
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	n/a
