Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The serving Africa mission annual report.

During the past year the work in Africa has moved forward well. Not only has the school progressed, but wider ministries of teaching have developed in Accra and Kumasi. Much of the day today running of the school is now financed locally and the work has been augmented by the opening of the computer centre and the downstairs of the big school.

In the UK, the online ministries have continued to flourish and in this way supporters and friends are kept informed. Teaching at ministry goes forward through the continued use of zoom, WhatsApp, Facebook, Kindle and now open source broadcasting.

Inevitably with the advancing years travel in the UK is more restricted, but the use of the Internet is balancing this well.

The trustees playing every increasing part in helping to develop the work along with a very effective administrative team. All the trust policies are now up to date including safeguarding.

Funding in these uncertain days is not easy but we continue to live by the faith model and believe that this will carry us forward.

Jim Smith Head of Mission.
