Para 1.41||

|Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The charity has not yet fundraised formally
as the financial set up to do this properly has
not been in place. No donations have been
accepted since its inception and this
continues to be the case for this reporting
period
Providing background context - in November
2024 the charity applied for a bank account
with Virgin money to ensure any given funds
are recorded in a transparent way. The bank|
|||did not grant a account because the charity
has operations in Nigeria. An account with
Natwest is currently being applied for.|

|Investment performance

**relationships on the ground in Nigeria at**
**local hospitals in the Warri area to assess**
**their needs, and with charities in the UK**
**that can supply medical equipment.**
**The Nuffield in Chichester has committed**
**to providing ‘retired’ equipment still in**
