APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
The new summer term of 2019 continued as previous with a new intake of pupils, new teaching supplies purchased and the continuation of the girls’ education. Dormitory maintenance was carried out and new teachers were employed due to vacancies. Exam results returned were similar to previous year- in the top quarter of the northern region of Ghana and we applaud the girls and teaching staff for these successes. COVID-19 hit Ghana as it did the rest of the world and the school closed in early 2020 due to national recommendations. Staff continued to receive their salaries, and budgets were diverted in the first instance for supply of masks and hand gel supplies. This was followed up by food and care packages sent to girls in the villages with a focus with those most in need. Staff continued to make wellbeing visits and this was the case until the end of this financial year. With all Trustees working in hospitals and work and home life heavily committed to COVID-19 workloads, we are very grateful for the smooth running of work with our teams in Ghana to enable us to focus on this. |

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. |
