## **Annual Report for the year ending 31[st] March 2025.**
## **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 at 12 Ash Grove, Rode Heath, Stoke-onTrent ST7 3TD but will be moving to 2 Sumsions Drive, Corsham, Wilts, SN13 9XQ in the new financial year.
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 Google Meet nine times in the year, on 13[th] April, 8[th] June, 2[nd] August, 7[th] September, 5[th] October, 16[th] November 2024, and 1[st] February, 1[st] March, 29[th] March 2025.
On the resignation of Mr. Aiden Lugg as Operations Manager in August 2024, a new Operations Manager, Mrs. Ruth Lancaster, started work in September. She has attended several trustees’ meetings since then. The IcFEM (Kenya) Director, Mr. Solomon Nabie and his wife Ruth Nabie (Deputy Director of IcFEM (K) and CEO of Dreamland Mission Hospital {DMH}), have also been in attendance several times.
The Operations Manager 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**
- 2.1) The Charity is governed by its Constitution dated 24[th] November 2021.
- 2.2) The Constitution (para 10.3) requires the Charity to have at least three Trustees, and Trustees serve for a period of three years, renewable.
- 2.3) The appointment of new Trustees is by invitation of the serving Trustees, having regard to the experience, skills, and knowledge of an individual, and that individual’s understanding of the Mission. Ideally, a Trustee will have visited the Mission in Kimilili, western Kenya, before being invited.
- 2.4) There is no formal policy for the induction and training of Trustees. The Constitution sets out responsibilities and liabilities very clearly, and a copy is
supplied to any new trustee who accepts the invitation to join. Trustees are also encouraged to study the Charity Commission guidance, in particular “The Essential Trustee” (CC3 and CC3a).
- 2.5) The day to day running of the Charity is conducted by the Chairman, the Treasurer, the Secretary and the employed staff, together with other Trustees as consulted. Inter-Trustee communication is mostly by email or WhatsApp, with occasional clarifying telephone calls.
- 2.6) Volunteers working for the Charity are asked to confirm their agreement to the Charity’s Statement of Faith and Values as set out in the Constitution.
**3. Objectives and Activities**
- 3.1) The charitable objects of IcFEM Dreamland Mission as stated in the Constitution under article 4 are:
- 3.1.1) the advancement of the Christian faith within local communities and across the world but particularly in western Kenya; and
- 3.1.2) The relief of poverty within local communities and among the world’s deprived and needy peoples, with particular focus on western Kenya, or as determined by the Charity Trustees from time to time.
- 3.2) The activities carried out by the Charity in the year were carried out in accordance with the principles of accountability stipulated previously in a Letter of Understanding with the Charity’s principal beneficiary, IcFEM-Mission (Kenya) {IcFEM-K}.
- 3.3) The Trustees sought to improve their understanding of the work of IcFEM-K and monitor the progress of projects for which the Charity has sent grants. The objectives for the year were to maximise the support given to IcFEM-K, particularly encompassing financial, practical involvement and prayer; to grow the support network across the UK, and to increase IcFEM-K’s level of reporting back to UK supporters regarding projects and mission activities. The principal activities undertaken were:
- 3.3.1) communications with supporters by newsletters and reports from IcFEM-K through the website, and a monthly email news and prayer newsletter (also sent as a printed document to a small number of supporters who either have no email or need a larger typeface). Subscribers can unsubscribe if they wish.
- 3.3.2) giving presentations and talks at churches, partner organisations and other supporter groups in the UK. The Trustees also encourage their own churches to support the Mission.
- 3.3.3) searching for organisations, professional people, and others, who may be able to go and provide capacity building and other support for IcFEM-K. This has focused mainly on recruiting volunteer medical practitioners to help at the hospital, which is coordinated from the UK by Dr. Nightingale in consultation with Mrs. Nabie, CEO of DMH. The contacts are made through various agencies and websites and through personal knowledge of a suitable and available individual.
- 3.3.4) the new website, managed by the Assistant Operations Manager, reflects the new structure of the work in Kenya.
- 3.3.5) support for the growing area of work for IcFEM-K relating to Economic Empowerment, and the income-generating strategy of the Mission (see 5.3.d below). Work done during the year included seeking funding on behalf of IcFEM-K for projects, advising IcFEM-K on business planning and project development, and distributing funds received.
- 3.3.6) In October 2024 Rev’d Laurie Burn and his wife took a visitor from their church for a two week stay. Mrs. Becky Nightingale has also visited a number of times, to smooth the process of the new operating theatre at the hospital coming on stream, and also in connection with the new A&E department currently under construction at the hospital.
- 3.3.7) In line with the Trustees’ overarching objectives, such 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.
- 3.4) The policy on grant-making is to make grant payments monthly to IcFEM-K from donations made for the ongoing revenue needs in Kenya, and notify them of any restrictions on use, as specified by donors. Where the Trustees deem it necessary, restricted funds are retained by the Charity until they have evidence that the respective expenditure by IcFEM-K is imminent or has already been made. Grants made are reconciled to Grants Received once the annual accounts for IcFEM-K have been received.
- 3.5) To maintain good practice and accountability, funds sent to IcFEM-K were distributed upon receipt of appropriate information to meet the requirements from respective donors. This information included quotations for works, a statement of intended use, or a project proposal. During the year additional information was requested on a regular basis to account for progress relating to these funds. The Hospital produces its own monthly newsletter, and reports regularly to its supporting businesses and charities, e.g., Brewers Paints, Smile Train and Project Possible in the UK, and Journey into Freedom (JTF) plus an individual donor, both in the USA. JTF has expressed a desire to work in parallel with Dreamland Mission, which the Trustees have welcomed.
- 3.6) The Charity is run primarily by the Operations Manager in close co-operation with the trustees. The UK representatives cover their own and, in many cases, the Mission’s costs. There is a continuing income stream from the legacies of the late Miss Ann Lipson and the late Mr. Christian Strover.
- 3.7) A key governance activity was to identify new trustees and volunteers to support the ongoing work of the Charity. It is a continuing feature of the work that many volunteer hours support what is done.
- 3.8) Dr. Nightingale continued in a key role to support DMH, keeping in close touch with the Hospital, its staff and especially the CEO Mrs. Nabie. This work
has proved invaluable in supporting the continuing growth of DMH, in communicating with the hospital’s many donors, and bringing in new supporters. During the year the new Operating Theatre Block was completed and equipped; a new A&E department is under construction.
- 3.9) The trustees introduced a safeguarding policy in 2019 which was updated in 2021. Work is ongoing in Kenya where IcFEM-K is updating its own safeguarding policy to keep it fit for purpose in Kenyan society. This is a requirement of the trustees’ policy at the Charities’ Commission’s instruction. Our Safeguarding Trustee visited Kenya in October 2024 and was able to have discussions with leaders of IcFEM institutions about their implementation of the Kenyan policy. A written report was received from the IcFEM Kenya HR Officer on progress being made on their Safeguarding policy and practice. This report was shared with The Charity's Trustees.
We have recently taken advice that our policy, whilst adequate, needs updating to keep in line with current International Safeguarding standards. As a result, we have become members of Thirtyone:eight, a Safeguarding Umbrella Organisation. Work is in progress to rewrite our Safeguarding Policy based on an up-to-date template. Our Safeguarding Trustee has also enrolled on a training course in International Safeguarding.
- 3.10) Grant requests other than from IcFEM-K are considered on their merit, and the capacity of the Charity to monitor effective use of a grant. Requests outside the objects of the Charity were not considered.
## **4. Achievements during the year**
During the year, grants and equipment sent to IcFEM-K of £500,188 were made, from restricted funds sent by various supporters. The major items were:
- a) DMH Theatre project: £73,123
- b) DMH general: £77,767
- c) DMH A&E: £157,238
- d) DMH eyes: £8,972
- e) DMH orthopaedic: £26,925
- f) Staff salaries, including HQ & DMH: £57,185
- g) Education: £51,099
- h) Bees project: £1,000
- i) Trees project: £8,284
- j) DEC dormitory: £23,792
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 items supported this year by supporters in the USA were:
- a) For DMH:
- a. The theatre project
- b. solar improvement project
- c. bore hole water, tower & tank project
- d. laundry equipment, with drier & ironing facilities
- e. waste incinerator part payment
- f. some hospital staff funding.
Total: $USD: 686,334
JTF in the USA also provided:
- a) an integrated Gospel Outreach
- b) Field Units/LTU staff stipends
- c) DEC renovation
- d) Khalayi Nursery learning materials
Total: $USD: 28,981
Dreamland Mission supports and encourages IcFEM-K to move towards a sustainable independence of operation, while recognising that big capital projects will require outside funding.
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 locally to contribute to the core mission work, through:
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 projects undertaken during the year were the completion of the two new operating theatres block & recovery rooms, and the A&E department. This last was funded entirely by a UK business which has granted large sums over many years.
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. A new system, SHA, was brought in by the Kenyan government during last year to replace NHIF, but does not seem to be working well. Dr. Nightingale keeps a close eye on this.
4.2 **Dreamland Education Centre** (DEC) – There are now 250 pupils, with 95 boarders, of which 55 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 were installed in 2024.
4.3 **Community -** During the year IcFEM-K has maintained its programme of community transformation:
- a) IcFEM-K supports a community leadership structure based around the **Local Transformation Units** (LTUs). Each LTU is made up of several Village Fellowships within an area or region _._
- b) The co-ordination rôle of the LTUs enables IcFEM-K to envision, facilitate and support this grass-roots development work over a significant region in 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.
- c)The internal structure of IcFEM-K aligns activities towards the Mission’s areas of focus. The internal departments – the six IcFEM Pillars – are also supported by internal administration and management functions. LTUs’ efficacy can be varied; so much depends on the community leaders’ vision and skills. The basic aim is that LTUs become a kind of mini IcFEM-K ‘out there’, often far from Mission HQ in Kimilili.
- d) During the year Community projects continued, all being community-led initiatives supporting needy persons - providing new houses, clothes and food through local initiatives. Some LTUs have established bee keeping; many are taking part in the Tree Planting scheme. Many health outreach activities were coordinated for IcFEM-K between DMH and the HQ team.
- e) The **Village Discipleship Scheme** (VDS) provides a systematic programme of Christian theology and leadership training for IcFEM members in the community. Historically it has run self-sustainably, funded by income from participants. The IcFEM-K team has identified a need to provide additional training and mentoring for VDS leaders in future years. This process was accelerated in the current year.
- **f)** The **Bees Project** is now well established, and LTU smallholders who have 5-6 hives are selling honey and improving their families’ lives, including being able pay school fees for their children.
- g) The **Tree Planting Project** is doing well. The objectives are to sequester carbon (and to sell carbon credits), enhance the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Kenya who will receive the benefits of fruit, timber production etc., as well as improving the environment through soil improvement and flood prevention. Climate Stewards ratified the scheme in February, so the Mission in Kenya can begin to raise funds through carbon offsetting. A small team was established by IcFEM-K, with suitably qualified personnel. They selected seedlings from local nurseries, undertook education programmes and oversaw planting of more than 32,000 saplings by many smallholder farmers within the LTUs. The previous Operations Manager, Aiden Lugg, developed an app to monitor the whole exercise.
- **5 IcFEM-K** continued to produce newsletters, stories and postings on social media (e.g., the IcFEM-K and DMH Facebook pages) and their website during the year. The prayer newsletter is distributed monthly as an update and inspiration for the core cohort of 443 subscribed IcFEM Dreamland Mission supporters.
## **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**
- a) Communications with supporters through the website, newsletters, phone calls, email correspondence, monthly meetings for prayer, and AV presentations will continue to be principal activities. A supporters’ meeting is being discussed in connection with a major fundraising appeal for work at DEC to pave the main courtyard, build a new kitchen and dining hall and make further improvements to the boarders’ hostel. A total of £85,000 is sought. It will be the focus of the Big Give campaign next December, and fundraising is already starting.
- b) The Charity will continue to support IcFEM-K in impacting poor, rural communities across Western Kenya within the limited resources available to the organisation, and to disseminate as widely as possible the IcFEM-K model for such grassroots development.
- c) We expect to see continuing growth in the number of pupils at DEC following the Kenyan government’s re-organisation of the education system. The boarding accommodation will be gradually increased as numbers grow.
- d) Collaborative working between IcFEM-K and the Charity will strengthen the governance model underpinning work between the two organisations, in particular taking forward a shared Board initiative to consider shared risks and introduce sustainable communication regarding the mitigation and ongoing management of these risks.
- e) The Charity will continue to seek links with churches, organisations, and other groups in support of IcFEM-K.
- f) The Charity will continue to encourage and facilitate visits to the UK by representatives from IcFEM in Kenya, to share achievements, vision and values with UK supporters, and for appropriate training. The Director and his wife visited in May/June 2024.
- g) Capacity building will take place among the Charity trustees and key supporters.
- h) The Charity will continue to try to find and provide additional capacity-building support for IcFEM-K, including visits to Kenya by Trustees and others.
## **8 Comments on financial statements:**
- a) Voluntary income is received primarily from individuals and churches together with one or two trusts. Total voluntary income was £471,756. Funds were collected for the building of the new theatre block, and for new medical equipment at DMH. Our investment portfolio has stabilised.
- b) In accordance with the Trustees’ policy, all UK administration costs, including insurance, were drawn from 10% of incoming funds unless grantees specifically prohibit this. The costs of UK administration were 9% of the total income of the Charity.
- c) Tax reclaimed under Gift Aid has been allocated between Restricted and Unrestricted Funds pro-rata to the respective gifts.
- d) The Charity has no fixed assets. No expenses were paid to Trustees.
- e) At the end of the financial year the Charity had two paid employees. The office is registered to the Operation Manager’s home. The value of volunteers’ time is not included in the financial statements.
- f) Auditing of the CIO accounts has been provided by Mr Jahanzab Arshad, FCCA of Easy Accounts and Tax, Bristol.
## **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. Trustees are also embarking on the practice of systematically reviewing two or three Policies at every meeting.
This Annual Report was approved by the Trustees on 7[th] June 2025 and signed on their behalf by the Secretary:
