Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances and issues that have arisen, we have not been able to get the organiza�on off the ground over the past year. As a result, we have not opened a dedicated bank account on behalf of the charity, nor have we been able to carry out any of the charitable acts and ini�a�ves we had intended. This is a disappoin�ng situa�on, and one that has been out of our control. The Friendly Faces Children’s Charity board of Trustees is working diligently to resolve these issues and hopefully launch the organiza�on in the future. We remain commi�ed to our mission of Friendly Faces Children’s Charity and are determined to establish the charity as soon as possible. Please be assured that we are doing everything in our power to rec�fy the situa�on and get Friendly Faces Children’s Charity opera�onal. We look forward to being able to serve our community in the future. _________________________________ Trevor King Chair 4 _Friendly Faces Children’s Charity Charity Number: 108655_ ## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for year ended 31st December 2023 ended 31[st] December 2023. ## **Objec�ves and Ac�vi�es** Friendly Faces Children’s Charity was started with the principals of the advancement of educa�on, relief from poverty in India, Hai� and Romania.
