Trustees Report
I" March 2025-28, February 2026
The FROM Scotland Trustees have continued to organise a number of event5 over the last year. During this
period we have held several successful events {Afternoon Teas, Soup and Sandwich, Open Golf, Concerts
and Wreath Making). In addition, Trustees have continued to create and sell crafts at a range of events,
profits of which they gift to the charity. Our gift investment continues to be managed by three appointed
Trustees who meet with the investment manager regularly. Due to changes in the investment portfolio, we
also withdrew funds from this investment. Given the continuing increase in the cost of delivering our
committed support, this has helped to ensure the continued support of our feeding programmes and
student scholarships.
We continue to be incredibly fortunate and grateful to have such a dedicated team of Trustees, volunteers
and supporters, particularly when many are facing challenges with the increase to the cost of living here in
the UK. Wlth rlslng costs in Malawi and the UK, we are conscious that each year further funds need to be
raised to maintain our commitments.
Our key focus for this year, as last. has been to maintain support for our existing organisations and
partners in Malawi to ensure they could maintain the Services and feeding programmes they provide to
some of the most vulnerable children in Chikwawa, Blantyre and Mangochl.
As in previous years priority was the provision of fortified maize Ilikuni phala) to our community groups to
ensure they could maintain underfive feeding to families most in need.
Fortlfled Malze
We have provided 15900kg of likuni phala to under five nurseries across the southern region of
Malawi. Every month this equates to over 1325kg distributed per month.
We current5y support Open Arms Infant Home, STEKA, disability centre (Ndirandel, Mango school
Imangochil, and three nurseries in Chikwawa District.
Fortified maize flour is collected directly from the supplier for both Open Arms Infant Home and
STEKA. All other organisations receive a direct delivery facilitated by our partners at the WASHTED
Centre (Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences) who support this attlvlty as part of
their community outreach.
Student support
We continue to support a graduate from Mfera CDSS who is now in fourth year at Malawi
University of Business and Applied Sciences. The support provides for accommodation and a living
allowance to support thelr studles.
We continue to support two additional graduates of Mfera CSDD who are in their second year of
study at Domasi College of Education. This support has helped to pay for their tuition fees and
enabled them to continue with their studles.
Speclflc organlsatlonal support
We continued to support STEKA home with fundingfor a cleanerfortheir home to help maintaln
the standards in the orphanage.
We support Mwai Orphanage in Ndirande to repair and replace emergencytoilets fortheirfacillty
followin8 heavy rains which left the organisation with no sanitation facilities in the middle of a slum
area and exposed to high level of health risks for vulnerable children.

Independent Examinerys R¢port to the Trustees of F.R.O.M. SCOTLAND
{FYdmin¢ Relief for Orphans in Mal84Wi)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 28th February 2026 which are
set out on pages 3, 4 & 5.
Respe¢Éive responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charlty's trust¢es are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in a¢cordan¢e
with the tem]s of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) A¢t 2005 and ihe
Charities Accounts (Scotland} Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the
audit requirement of Regulation l O(l)(d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)( c ) of
the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of illdependent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with regulation I l of the Charities
Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a Teview of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented
with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures
in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The proc¢dures undertaken do not provide all th¢ evidence that would be required in
an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the
accounts.
Independent examiner's Statement
tn the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me
reasonable cause to believe that in any reasonable respect the requirements
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Account Regulations have not been met.
