This has left £1.540,839 (99.30/0 of funds raised) available for its charitsble objectives. Of this £1,523:159 (98.9 /0) h&$ been spent on over 295 projects, helping provide clean water lo lo1 communities. The provision of rcadily accessible clean water helps reduce diswe and eliminates the need to spend hours each day collecting water, oft¢n from unsafe sources. The funds we have not yet spent reflect the time it takes to identify and evaluate projects. We have to obtain infornlation on projects, ensure they apar to be properly researched as to cost and flbilIty and have appropriate ongoing maintenance arrangements in place and satisfy ourselves they represent reasonable value in ternis of the number of people hel. We request rertS on the progress and completion of projects, to provide evidence that the funds were used appropriately and to enable us lo monitor the project against the proposal. Activities duriDg the year: During the Current year the total income amounted to £62:301. details of which are set out in the atsached accounts. We are very gratefvl for the support we receive for our work Our fimd-raising events returned to near noal as we saw Covid restrictions case. Our Gardens day was again highly successful and was blessed with good weather. Our Souperday was able to return in March and was well supported. An 'Afternoon Tea. event was held as a one off. We sold Christmas cards via the Wilmslow Christmas card shop again after its closure during the pandemic. Tea towels and other textile goods are also available for sale. All these activities maintained our profile and highlighted the enormous need for watcr in Africa. We also maintained our presence on Facebook and created an Instagram account linked to Gardens Day. We have an increasing numkr of SUPFK)rtcrs who have entered into regular monthly donations by standing order, often SUPFK)rted by Gift Aid. Detsils of this scheme and of Gift Aid donations can be obtained from the Treasurer.
