IcFEM Dreamland Mission

Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2024.

1. Charity Registration and Trustees

IcFEM Dreamland Mission is a UK registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registration number 1197661

The principal office address of the Charity is 12 Ash Grove, Rode Heath, Stoke-onTrent, Staffs, ST7 3TD

During the year, the following served as Trustees:

Rev’d. Laurie S. Burn – Safeguarding Officer Mr. Andrew J. Cornish - Chairman Mrs. (Dr.) H. Jane Daniell Very Rev’d. Michael R. Keirle Mr Peter J. Latham – Treasurer Mrs. (Dr.) Rebecca L. Nightingale Rev. R. Martin D. Oram – Secretary Mrs (Dr.) Philippa Simkiss

The Trustees met by Zoom six times in the year, on 20[th] May 2023, 22[nd] July 2023, 23rd September 2023, 9[th] December 2023, 10[th] February 2024, and 16[th] March, 2024. At most meetings the Operations Manager, Mr. Aiden Lugg, and the IcFEM (Kenya) Director, Mr. Solomon Nabie and his wife Ruth Nabie (Deputy Director and CEO of Dreamland Mission Hospital {DMH}), were in attendance.

The Operations Manager Aiden Lugg and the Assistant Operations Manager Traycee Munowenyu have been a great asset to the work, both in Kenya and the UK.

The Charity’s banker is HSBC, 141 High Street, Beckenham, Kent BR3 1BX.

2. Structure, Governance and Management

2

also encouraged to study the Charity Commission guidance, in particular “The Essential Trustee” (CC3 and CC3a).

3. Objectives and Activities

3

In line with the Trustees’ overarching objectives, these trips exemplify a shared vision to maximize support for IcFEM-K, encompassing financial contributions, active involvement, and up to date, informed prayers. The journeys not only contribute to growing the support network across the UK but also strengthen the reporting mechanisms to UK supporters, ensuring transparency and accountability regarding projects and mission activities.

4

communicating with the hospital’s many donors, and bringing in new supporters. During the year an appeal was launched for a new Operating Theatre Block; funds were raised, and a new building erected. An appeal is underway to ensure they are now fully equipped. Beyond Finance has been instrumental in both these major and discrete fundraising operations.

4. Achievements during the year

During the year, grants and equipment sent to IcFEM-K of £306,321 were made. The major items were:

Donations through PACT and Student Sponsorship schemes, and monies donated towards IcFEM-K for core costs and a range of projects including Education, Economic Empowerment initiatives, and community capacity building have continued at their usual level. Gifts from UK donors pass through the Charity’s bank account, and can be made by cheque, website online donations, from donors’ personal PayPal accounts, direct payments from donors’ CAF or Stewardship accounts, or by direct bank transfers into the Charity’s bank account.

Not all support for IcFEM-K comes from within the UK. Additional funding streams continued to flow directly to IcFEM-K from foreign donors for mission activities. The main item this year was the new CT scanner, donated by a supporter in the USA.

The Charity supports and encourages IcFEM-K to move towards a sustainable independence of operation.

IcFEM-K participated in collaborative working through the year with other likeminded organisations across East Africa to develop a model for holistic community transformation. The Director and other staff members have again participated in knowledge exchanges and provided training to other groups keen to learn about IcFEM’s pioneering model. The work in rural village communities in Western Kenya takes many forms owing to the wide-ranging nature of IcFEM-K’s work.

IcFEM-K continued income-generating activities to contribute to the core mission work, through:

5

  1. an events management team, providing chairs and tables, catering and tents. The team also offers catering to the hospital staff through its onsite canteen.

  2. for hire locally by community members: a lorry, a tractor and a trailer.

  3. a 2.5-acre demonstration farm selling produce, mainly bananas and vegetables.

  4. maize is grown on the Dreamland site to benefit pupils at DEC and reduce its costs.

  5. a small shop at HQ sells craft goods and greetings cards.

  6. the Mission offers a photocopying service which can generate substantial income.

  7. the school bus is occasionally hired out to groups in the school holidays.

  8. the meeting hall at HQ is used at times by local government departments (e.g., the Court Users’ Committee) for meetings.

  9. the hospital passes 10% of its income to HQ.

4.1 DMH - The main project undertaken during the year was the building of the two new operating theatres block and recovery rooms.

The beneficiaries of the grants to IcFEM-K are rural people who are poor and disadvantaged owing to a lack of local infrastructure, limited access to education, and poor health. Much of DMH’s work focuses on getting out to the more remote communities with the Community Health Programme, whereby people are brought into the hospital, sometimes travelling two or more days. Many present themselves at DMH following a recommendation by an acquaintance. There has been continuing growth from UK donors in support of the Kenyan National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which for £5/month gives free medical care to all members of a family, including children up to 18. NHIF repayments this year have been considerably delayed by the Kenyan Department of Health; this can cause very serious cash flow difficulties for the hospital. Dr. Nightingale keeps a close eye on this. The Kenyan government is bringing in a new system during 2024.

4.2 DEC – There are now 250 pupils, with 90 boarders, of which 54 are sponsored. Candidates for school sponsorship at the school are often identified through the DMH community visits. This benefits the community from which the children come. Many of the children are total orphans. The Big Give campaign in the run-up to Christmas 2023 raised funds for water harvesting and the provision of mains power to the boarding accommodation. These will be installed in 2024.

4.3 Community - During the year IcFEM-K has maintained its programme of community transformation:

6

across three counties. No government funds flow to the Mission, nor would the Mission wish them to: there would be strings attached which could run counter to the Mission’s core values.

6 Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees are satisfied that, given the remarkable outcomes as described in section 4 above achieved by IcFEM-K with the funds provided by the Charity, they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 in regard to public benefit.

7 Future developments

8 Comments on financial statements:

9 Reserves Policy

There is no formal reserves policy, though this is an area newly under discussion, in view of the considerable cash sums and investment portfolios left to the Trustees by Miss Ann Lipson in 2017 and Mr. Christian Strover in 2021. The Trustees prefer that grants to IcFEM-K are made regularly as funds permit, and funds are accumulated only where they are needed in order to meet known future obligations. In particular, funds raised through the student sponsorship scheme are accumulated each year to meet the students’ school fees which are payable in January and May of the following year.

10 Risk assessment

There is a Risk Register which lists the main potential risks to the ongoing work of the Charity, the potential impact, and possible steps to mitigate the risk. The key issues are reviewed periodically at Trustees’ meetings.

This Annual Report was approved by the Trustees on 8[th] June 2024 and signed on their behalf by the Secretary:
