Related-party transaction: The Rt Rev A J Ball (the chair of the charity until 17th June 2025 and continuing as a trustee) was Bishop in North Africa within the Province of Alexandria during part of the year ended 30th June 2025. As such there could have been perceived to be a conflict of interest between this role and his position within the charity. The trustees were aware of this potential conflict of interest and therefore he was not involved in decisions regarding grants to be paid by the charity.
