Trusteas Report for the year ended 30 September 2023
The affairs of the Trust are managed by the Trustees who are noted on page 1.
We were delighted lo be able lo celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the founding of TWOAT last
October with representatives from our committee giving brief presentations about our work and
helping lo lead prayers for our projects al three I￿al churches In Tadworth & Walton I would like lo
thank Sl John's, the Church of the Good Shepherd and St Peter's for these opportunities which also
helped us to acquire additional supporters and volunteers to help in our fundraising endeavours.
The three churches have also supported us in other ways such as letting us use their halls and
noticeboards, also by adopting some of our projects as ones for which they will also raise funds.
The cost4of-living crisis in the UK and throughout the world, brought on by both COWD and the war
in Ukraine, has been a major issue for us to confront.
Some of our projects made specific appeals to us because of it. One example was the Epilepsy
Clinic we helped lo create at Berega Hospital in Tanzania. This rural hospital supports a catchment
area with a radius in excess of 50 miles Unfortunately, Epilepsy cannot be cured but its symptoms
of sudden onset fits. can often be controlled by medication. By the beginning of 2023 the clinic was
regularly treab'ng over 60 patients but many of them were having to travel to the clinic from outlying
villages on 2 monthly basis for review and medication. The medical staff realised that many
patients could not afford this joumey so it would be more effective for the clinician and a doctor to
travel together on the hospital motorcycle lo the 12 major villages each month lo see the patients.
They asked us lo donate an extra £500 to fund these trips. As we thought our own fund raising in
the UK might also be impacted, we agreed to this extra spend but told the Berega project that we
would have lo cut back the £500 we have normally donated to fund other activities in the village and
orphanage al Berega. We adopted this Careful approach with two or three other projects needing
extra help as well.
Despite people in the UK having to tighten their belts our fundraising activities including our Annual
Dinner, our Street Collection, the Walton May Fayre, two John Allinson Memorial Sponsored Walks
and several Open Garden events all of which were successful. We are very grateful to all those
who helped make these events into successful fund raisers especially the owners of the three
garden that were opened for us. Towards the end of our financial year, we also received two
unexpected, large payments one a generous bequest from a long-lerm supporter and one a
donation from a family trust that supports us. Consequently, we were after all able to provide the
£500 to Berega Village which will now fund dentistry equipment. We have also been able to restore
donations that we had previously reduced so we could purchase hearing aids for a school in The
Gambia and to donate lo a new project initiated by one of our committee members, providing
prescription spectacles to deprived people in Ghana.
