## **KONDAVIL WELFARE ASSOCIATION**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORTFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Objectives and Activities**
Kondavil Welfare Association’s primary purpose is to advance education and alleviate poverty or financial hardship among communities in the UK and Sri Lanka.
The charity provides financial assistance, items, and services to charities and other organisations working to relieve poverty or deprivation. To advance education for public benefit, the charity supports organised classes, supplementary teachers, and educational supplies for schools in war-affected areas in Sri Lanka.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. There has been no change in these objectives since registration in 2022.
Kondavil Welfare Association operates as a not-for-profit charity under the ‘association’ constitution model, whereby all members are volunteers and receive no financial benefits.
## **Activities to Achieve Objectives**
The charity undertakes the following activities in furtherance of its objectives:
Providing educational support to schools, nurseries, and libraries in Sri Lanka.
Offering financial assistance to communities facing hardship and supporting self-employment opportunities. Providing relief for young
people, students, and families affected by conflict.
Supporting UK-based charities and community organisations through voluntary contributions. Funding
supplementary classes and educational materials for children in war-affected regions.
All donations are voluntary and received without public appeals. Trustees ensure that all activities undertaken align with the charity’s purposes and deliver public benefit.
## **Achievements and Performance**
During the year ended 31 March 2025, Kondavil Welfare Association continued to deliver educational and poverty relief initiatives, primarily in Sri Lanka. Key achievements included:
## 1. **Karuppaddamurippu Tuition Centre Project**
The tuition centre continued offering weekend classes in English, Mathematics, and Science for students in Years 9, 10, and 11 (O Levels) from local schools in Karuppaddamurippu, Northern Sri Lanka. More than 50 students benefited from the programme, which was supported by three teachers and one administrator. Regular meetings were held with teachers and local partners to review students’ progress and academic performance.
During the reporting period, 16 students sat for the GCSE O Level examinations, and 10 of them passed the core subjects, qualifying to pursue Advanced Level studies. In addition, ten students currently undertaking their Advanced Level studies received ongoing tuition support.
Total expenditure on this project during the year amounted to £6,616.78.
## 2. **Empowering Education Project – KWA Tuition Fund (Jaffna, Sri Lanka)**
This project supported 25 students from low-income families across Year 9–10, O/L, and A/L levels by funding their tuition classes. The initiative achieved a 100% pass rate for A/L students. Attendance was monitored monthly, and students were removed from the programme where attendance requirements were not met.
Total expenditure on this project during the year amounted to £1,941.00. To date, 75 students have benefited from this initiative.

## **4. Overseas Charitable Activities (Sri Lanka)**
During the year, the charity’s charitable activities were carried out **entirely in Sri Lanka** , in line with its educational and welfare objectives. No charitable expenditure or project delivery took place in the UK during the period.
## **5. Volunteer Engagement**
The charity was supported by approximately 35 volunteers across the UK and Sri Lanka, who contributed their time and expertise throughout the year.
Based on the final accounts, approximately 0% of total expenditure was incurred in the UK and 100% in Sri Lanka during the year.
## **Grant Making and Monitoring**
The charity uses a standard form for grant applications and requires post-project reports to confirm delivery and impact. All grants are reviewed at general meetings to ensure transparency and accountability. The charity does not borrow funds and only commits resources where sufficient reserves exist.
## **Plans for the Future**
The Trustees intend to strengthen existing educational partnerships and extend support to additional schools and families in deprived areas. The charity will continue to focus on sustainable educational outcomes through collaboration with local partners.
For the 2025/26 period, the charity has committed to:
Providing a £1,000 donation to the Corbett Community Library in London to support community education and inclusion.
Providing £3,300 to Malaiyagam Children’s Home in Badulla, Sri Lanka, to support the phased establishment of a computer lab, smart classroom, and mathematics activity room.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of **KONDAVIL WELFARE ASSOCIATION** for the year ended **31 March 2025,** which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and for ensuring that the accounts are prepared in accordance with applicable law.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and, in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable directions and guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
I confirm that I am independent of the charity and its trustees and have the relevant ability and practical experience to carry out an independent examination.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees where necessary.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, accordingly, no audit opini on is given.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or the accounts do
not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations.
I have no other matters to draw to the attention of the trustees in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
