REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Message from Mamy Show, Founder & Chairperson
“Every act of kindness has a ripple effect. When one life is uplifted, a community is strengthened — and when communities stand together, change becomes unstoppable.”
— Mamy Makanzu Zozo, Founder & Chairperson, Mamy Show Foundation
2025 has been a year of resilience, rebuilding, and renewed hope. Across the UK and in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mamy Show Foundation continued its mission to empower women, children, and families through education, health, and community development.
Despite global challenges — from economic pressures to the ongoing impact of climate change — our work has reminded us that compassion is stronger than circumstance. This year, we have reached over 300 people directly , nurturing dignity, opportunity, and a shared sense of belonging.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
1.1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The idea behind the setting up of Mamy Show Foundation (MSF) started on 31.12.2022 in West Bromwich, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC). The group took its inspiration from the positive thinking of ordinary local people living and working in the UK motivated by a desire to support and care for orphans, widows, the less privileged, and the aged in the Black Country’s area of West Midlands and Birmingham in the UK who had initiated the project in response to the enormous needs and problems this social group faces daily in the community. The needs and problems of these individuals have been voiced and aired by themselves during their informal meetings around a cup of tea, coffee, leisure places or sport settings. In response to their emerging needs, the founders of MSF have expressed the idea of organising these individuals into an active group to step forward to find solutions to the many problems faced by orphans, widows and the elderly both in the UK and overseas. The creation of this group was then initiated to empower orphans, widows and the elderly to play front line role to initiate positive change in their communities.
The Foundation was founded to actively participate in improving the living conditions of most underprivileged individuals. The main purpose is to help people feel they are part of society and actively work against all forms of exclusion.
The organisation is charitable and is set up to provide both general and one-to-one support to orphans, widows, elderly people and less abled individuals living in the Black Country and Birmingham, UK on one hand and in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa to some extent on the other, to help them access a wide range of support services that facilitate their full participation in the community and enable them to develop or maintain their skills to live independently in the society.
The Charity entered the Register of Charities for England and Wales on 19[th] July 2023 (Charity No. 1204028) with the aims to give children and young people (mostly orphans), women (mainly widows), and the elderly (mainly refugees and asylum seekers) from the deprived wards of the Black Country and Birmingham on the one hand and overseas on the other hand (in sub-Saharan Africa) equal opportunities in life regardless of personal circumstances.
3
Equally, to have legitimacy to operate in the DRC, MSF was granted the status of an international organisation due to the nature of its work beyond UK . The organisation was granted on 21[st] September 2023, authorisation to operate in the Democratic Republic of Cong by the Ministry of Justice (NGO No: F.92/55.259 under Registry No. JUST/SG/20/MSS/4730/2023) as a partner organisation with local orphanages such as Orphelinat la Mission de Dieu and other Community Based Organisations (CBO) such as Umoja wa Akina Mama Fizi (Uwafi) Solidarity Girls for Girls Fizi (SG4G Fizi) and dedicated to imparting knowledge, skills, and awareness amongst the most vulnerable group of people in the community with an emphasis on improving educational skills, employment generation, looking after destitute, empowering young people, poverty alleviation, overseas aid, etc.
During the same period, the organisation was able to open a bank account with the Bank of Scotland ( Bank Name : BANK OF SCOTLAND Account Name : Mamy Show Foundation Account No : 24635062 S/C : 802260) allowing people of good will and fundraising charities, Foundations and Trusts passionate on assisting MSF to be able to make their donations to MSF into a trusted bank account to save a soul or to put a smile on someone face.

1.3: ORGANISATION’S OBJECTS
The organisation’s main objects as laid out in its governing document are:
1. For the public benefit, the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship by the provision of practical support and grants to individuals/organisations or charities working toward providing such relief primarily, but not exclusively, in the UK and Africa.
2. The prevention or relief of poverty in the UK and Africa by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.
1.3: ORGANISATION’S AIM
The organisation's broad aim is to support disadvantaged people (orphans, widows, elderly, less abled ) living in the Black Country and Birmingham and develop projects which address challenging issues that these people face on a daily basis (e.g. community cohesion, healthy living, conflict resolution, unemployment, poverty, education, etc.)
The organisation works in partnership with a wide range of local businesses and organisations to provide our target group with a comprehensive support package which meet their needs. The organisation does not provide legal advice or legal representation. We can advise on entitlements and the meaning of laws. If we cannot help, we provide a list of qualified legal representatives. We’re working with a variety of partners to help orphans, widows, elderly and the less abled from disadvantaged backgrounds more opportunities to engage with and take part in activities which will improve the quality of their life in the community.
2: WHAT THE ORGANISATION DOES
2.1: Our Vision
Our Vision is to partner with orphanages around the world where we supply resources in support of what they are already doing. We recognise that they have the local knowledge to minister to children with no family to take care of them. We see it as a true partnership.
2.2: Our Mission Statement
Mamy Show Foundation is committed to feeding the hungry, overcoming poverty, freeing people from the burden of unmanageable personal debt, helping people into affordable housing, and assisting people in a better future.
We believe that no one should face poverty, and no one should have to go through it alone. We address the underlying issues of why people are falling into crisis and tackle those reasons head-on. We do more than provide food support; we aim to assist, advise, and connect people with the additional external support they need to empower them to tackle the challenges they face. Our message is this; we care, we are here, and we will not rest until everyone we target to support in our community is free from poverty in all its forms.
2.3: Our Values
Our core values are commitment, optimism, passion, ethnic diversity honesty, gender sensitivity, unity in diversity, transparency, and mutual respect.
3: ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN 2025

Our Work in the United Kingdom
1. Building Organisational Resilience
MSF strengthened its internal systems through capacity-building, leadership training, and digital transformation. We introduced cloud-based data systems, volunteer management tools, and new safeguarding policies to ensure transparency and accountability.
“Resilience isn’t just about surviving hard times — it’s about learning, adapting, and growing stronger as a team.”
— Sarah, MSF Volunteer Coordinator, Birmingham
2. Supporting Widows and Orphans in Sandwell and Birmingham
This year, 18 widows and 11 orphans received emotional, financial, and practical support through peer groups, mentoring, and access to hardship funds.
“After losing my husband, I felt invisible. The Foundation helped me find community again — and hope.” — Aisha, Widow Beneficiary, Sandwell
Our widows’ circle now meets bi-weekly for mutual support, skills sharing, and small-scale enterprise development, creating pathways out of isolation and poverty.

— Margaret, Participant, Birmingham
4. After-School Homework Club
Our Homework Club in Birmingham and Sandwell supported 26 children aged 5–14 struggling with maths, English, and science.
Volunteers, tutors, and parents collaborated to create a nurturing space where children rediscovered the joy of learning.
“When my son got his first B in science, he ran all the way home to show me. I cried. Thank you, MSF.”
— Parent Testimony, Smethwick
Children improved academic confidence and built social connections that extended beyond the classroom.
5. Supporting 30 BME Young People into Adulthood
We mentored 30 Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) young people transitioning into adulthood through workshops on career development, financial literacy, and emotional wellbeing.
“I learned how to write my first CV and got my first part-time job. But most importantly, I learned to believe in myself.”
— Daniel, 18, Birmingham
6. Power2Inspire Project
Through Power2Inspire , 25 disadvantaged BME children (ages 7–13) took part in sports and fitness sessions promoting physical health and teamwork.
Activities ranged from football and dance to mindfulness and nutrition workshops.

7. Bridging Culture Project
The Bridging Culture Project celebrated diversity and belonging, reaching youth aged 12–18 through workshops on heritage, art, and storytelling.
Young participants explored identity, history, and global citizenship — promoting mutual respect among diverse communities.

- Nadia, 14, Participant

In partnership with local councils and environmental educators, MSF engaged 125 BME refugees and asylum seekers in climate education.
Workshops covered energy efficiency, recycling, green transport, sustainable cooking , and home insulation , delivered in multiple languages.
“When I came from Sudan, I didn’t know recycling rules. Now I teach my neighbours how to sort waste — it’s my way of helping the planet.”
— Abdul, Participant, Birmingham
Community awareness days inspired intergenerational climate action, linking global issues to local solutions in anticipation of COP30 .
Overseas Partnership Programme — Democratic Republic of Congo
1. Microfinance Project for Widows in Kinshasa
MSF supported 35 widows in Kinshasa with microfinance grants and business mentoring, enabling them to start small enterprises in tailoring, food vending, and crafts.
“With my first loan, I bought fabric. Now I have three employees. I can send my children to school.” — Esther, Widow Entrepreneur, Kinshasa
This project restored economic independence and self-worth among women once left without support or recognition.
2. In-kind Assistance for Orphans in Kimwenza, Mont Ngafula
Through community partnerships, MSF provided food parcels, clothing, and educational materials to 52 orphans in Kimwenza.
Volunteers distributed monthly care packages and organized after-school literacy sessions.
“When they gave us rice and books, I felt like someone finally cared about us.”
— Jean-Pierre, 12, Kimwenza
3. Promoting Peace & Nonviolence in Eastern Congo
MSF worked with grassroots organizations to challenge militarism and promote a culture of nonviolence among youth and community leaders.
Workshops focused on conflict transformation, dialogue, and the power of peacebuilding through storytelling and art.
“We’ve learned that peace begins in the heart — one conversation at a time.”
— Chantal, Youth Peace Ambassador, Goma
Looking Ahead to 2026

4. RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees assess on an annual basis the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The principal risks faced by the charity are the security of its funding streams and the operational risks from working with orphaned young people in areas dealing with sensitive and emotional subjects. The trustees mitigate the risk to funding streams by diversifying as much as possible the sources of income. The operational risks are mitigated by having an effective safeguarding policy to which all volunteers adhere to. In addition, there is a volunteer handbook which reflects updated policies and procedures on whistleblowing and volunteer data handling and protection. Like all charities we have been affected by the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis which began towards the end of May 2022 and has continued through the financial year ending 31st Dec 2025, we have managed this by maintaining a reduced level of financial risk in the budget and utilising free reserves to ensure a balanced income and expenditure budget in the financial year 31[st] Dec 2025.
5. SAFEGUARDING
The charity trustees take their responsibility in relation to safeguarding seriously and have adopted a Safeguarding policy to protect vulnerable people from abuse and to prevent abuse from happening in the first place.
6. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. The trustees and volunteers are required to disclose all relevant interests and where necessary withdraw from decisions where a conflict arises. The trustees also confirm that there is an appropriate and approved anti-bribery policy.
7. INFORMATION ON FUNDRAISING PRACTICES
The charity does not fundraise from the general public, but focuses its activities on specific charitable foundations and individuals. Therefore the trustees do not consider that the requirements of the fundraising code to be applicable to the charity.
8. FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005.
9. BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE ORGANISATION'S POLICY ON RESERVES
Mamy Show Foundation’s policy is to hold sufficient free reserves to cover core expenditure (defined as planned unrestricted expenditure) for three months. This is to allow MSF to continue some level of operation in the event of a sudden deterioration in its finances and to give a degree of freedom to explore opportunities. To achieve this, we will aim to put £250 per month into reserves from income until that level is achieved.
At 31[st ] December 2025, our free reserves were nearly £5,541 which equate to about four months of planned forward core expenditure. We are comfortable with this level for this year given the continued turbulence in the economy.

Conclusion
The achievements of 2025 have been made possible by the dedication of our team, partners, and supporters. Together, we have empowered individuals, strengthened communities, and provided hope to those in need. As we look forward to 2026, MSF remains committed to creating lasting change in the lives of those we serve.

MAMY SHOW FOUNDATION
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
15
MAMY SHOW FOUNDATION
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
