its free of cost hospitals. A grantwas made to the Yonibana neo-natal unit in Sierra Leone
in collaboration with the Better Lives Foundation, a UK registered charity, and to a young
5-year old child from Malawi who needed urgent Life changing heart surgery.
These grants are made from the funds held in the Trust. All donations to the Trust were
made on a voluntary basis only. No public appeals were made. The Trust makes grants to
activities that align with its objects, and those of the donors when specified. There are
thus several restricted fund accounts, maintained together with the premium reserve
account and other current accounts which are unrestricted. The Trustees have paid due
regard to guidance issued bythe Charity Commission in decidingwhat activities the Trust
should undertake.
Grant making policy and monitoring achievement
The Trust has adopted a standard form for grant applicants to complete. This outlines the
benefits of the proposed activity. The Trust also seeks a feedback report on the activityto
confirm itwas carried out and what benefitswere derived; where possible, and especially
for projects undertaken in the UK, trustees also make site visits to better understand and
evaluate progress and outcomes. This process facilitates the discussion of grant making
within the Trust meetings. The Trust does not borrow money and therefore will only make
grants if it has the assets to do so. Funds received for specific purposes are utiLised for
specific projects. The Trust reviews its achievements and performance within its Trust
meetings.

at this Level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able
to continue the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which
additional funds may be raised e.g. moving funds into higher interest-bearing accounts.
This Level of reserves has been maintained throughoutthe year.
