What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: £5,000 (held: £12k)
“we aim to maintain reserve of £5,000 as part of our income to meet any unforeseen circumstances” — page 6
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Governance: Independent examiner identified matters of concern: insufficient documentation for balances, lack of fund restriction accounting, inadequate controls separating resources with Umoya Trust Zambia, and no fixed asset register.
“From the work undertaken, it was noted that the following did not have sufficient documentation to support the balances per the financial statements. 1. The charity's accounting system does not account for funds and potential restrictions on use of funds. 2. The charity is closely linked with Umoya Trust Zambia, a foreign charity, which Umoya Trust UK supports. Controls have not been put in place to adequately separate the resources, assets and expenditure of the two entities clearly. 3. The charity has not maintained a fixed asset register.” — page 8
