The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
The charity 's objects as defined in its Memorandum and Articles of Association are;
a) to advance the Christian faith in such parts of the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Charity;
b) to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in such parts of the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit;
c) to advance education in accordance with Christian principles by such means as the trustees may consider appropriate including by means of establishing and operating any educational establishment or establishments in such parts of the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit.
The primary work of the trust is supporting the work of the Kabubbu Development Project (KDP). This is a company registered in Uganda as a company limited by guarantee and also registered as an NGO (Non Government Organisation). There is a separate Uganda Quicken Trust registered as a company limited by guarantee and an NGO.
The KDP own the land and construction works carried out within the Kabubbu village.
Both the KDP and Quicken Trust Uganda are involved in the relief of poverty, schooling, health and other needs in the Kabubbu village area.
In 2021, Quicken Trust supported 580 families plus an additional 236 children with basic food items including 912 sacks of maize flour (25 and 50 kilo sacks)
The COVID-19 pandemic during the year restricted activities in Kabubbu and limited Quicken Trust’s fundraising activities. However, through the generous support of Quicken Trust’s committed sponsors and donors, we have maintained support at a reduced rate. This proved to be a lifeline to the people of Kabubbu.
The charity employed a full-time Chief Executive, Paul Pirie and three part-time members of staff during this period, totaling 40 hours per week, and a freelance bookkeeper. We said goodbye to Charity Manager, David Churchyard and Partnership Administrator, Mark Ryland. We welcomed Julie Vamplew as Charity Administrator, joining Sue Lade (Administrator) as paid staff.
In July 2021, Paul Rowlinson and Janet Rowlinson were appointed as trustees. Paul joined the board after retiring as iQ Student Accommodations Compliance Director before which he had been Operations Director for Shaftesbury Student Housing and 23 years with Nat West Bank. Janet has been Senior Commercial Analyst for British Airways Holidays having worked for CCLI previously and various posts in Nat West Bank. Both Paul and Janet have been involved in Quicken Trust almost since its inception and were among the early sponsors, first visiting Kabubbu in 2010 for the 10th anniversary celebrations and having visited Kabubbu a further five times.
Over the past year, the founders of Quicken Trust (Geoff and Geraldine Booker) have continued supporting the staff team as volunteers along with their continuing roles as Directors of the Kabubbu Development Project bringing insights into developments in Kabubbu. Jim Fletcher, a chartered accountant, provides management accounts as a volunteer and supports our freelance bookkeeper. We are sincerely grateful to all volunteers, some of whom are mentioned above.
Performance & Fundraising
In any ‘normal’ year many thousands of pounds would be raised through specific fundraising events and visits to Kabubbu. In the past two years, COVID shut these down along with the income. Without the additional activities, Quicken Trust has been even more reliant on our regular supporters and the special seasonal campaigns such as Christmas and Easter. Many donated to the Christmas Dreams appeal, raising £27,834, enabling extra resources to be purchased to help the children catch up on 83 weeks of lost learning. £24,576 was raised from the Summer 21 Covid Appeal, a digital appeal embracing social media.
In focusing 100% on the needs in Kabubbu over the past two years, we lost sight of a reduction in Gift Aid at a time when we needed to increase our UK funding to meet the changing landscape of the Quicken Trust. Our founders, Geoff and Geraldine Booker have for 23 years dedicated their lives to both the Quicken Trust and its sister charity they encouraged into existence, the Kabubbu Development Project in Uganda. Geraldine is now completing the process of retiring completely from the Quicken Trust in the UK and we are thankful to her and God for her incredible work. She continues as a Director of the Kabubbu Development Project. Geoff continues to be a Director and Member of Quicken Trust along with providing his wealth of cultural knowledge and expertise as a Director of the Kabubbu Development Project. The task of growing and building on their legacy will fall to our Chief Executive, Paul Pirie (appointed February 2021) and our small part-time administration and volunteer team.
The Christmas 2020 newsletter contained a section asking for prayer regarding an additional £50,000 of funding that would be required for our UK operations. But no one anticipated the effects of COVID-19. Quicken Trust’s overheads with its recently increased staffing and general administration costs in the UK are now around £130,000 per year. Our Gift Aid income was predicted to be £62,000 (Actual - £61,834) and a funding gap of £68,000 was being forecast for the year. Some donors who were already aware of the situation stepped up and reduced that gap to £40,000, still a substantial amount. With prudent cost-cutting and a generous gift from a major donor towards the end of the year, the charity was able to balance the budget for the year.
In March 2022, after discussion and prayer, a UK Urgent Appeal was launched, encouraging regular supporters to include an element in the monthly gift for UK funding both for administration and to assist in additional fundraising activities to seek to grow our supporter base.
The UK office overhead had historically relied on costs being covered by Gift Aid but to generate an additional £68,000 in gift aid we identified we would require an increase in eligible donations of £278,000 per year. In March 2022, 70% of the gifts qualified for gift aid which increases the amount required to just under £400,000 per year.
Funding from Gift Aid will continue to play a vital part in the income of the Quicken Trust’s UK activities but on its own, it will no longer be enough. Going forward, Quicken Trust continues to take action to find new sources of funding that can sustain it in the long term. We gradually restarted our program of speaking engagements and coffee mornings, as well as fundraising events such as Open Gardens and School Jumper days and are planning a charity auction. Quicken Trust continues to apply for a wide range of grants that will fund projects in Kabubbu and now incorporate an element of funds that will support the UK operation.
We are seeking opportunities for matched funding from businesses and are making greater use of our social media and digital communications. Quicken Trust continues to develop relationships with organisations who can help us spread the story of Kabubbu, newspapers, school resource publishers, a festival, Christmas concerts and even theatres at panto time! Quicken Trust is excited and hopeful as we continue our many relationships and begin to develop new opportunities.
Additionally, we began working on ways to further reduce administration costs and free up staff time for fundraising. This includes changing our database system to one with more capabilities, faster payment keying, welfare and child record keeping and automated allocation of donor receipts.
We also started switching donors from standing order to direct debits, another way to save administration time, cut costs and provide more time in raising the next pound for Kabubbu.
In the coming months, we look forward to working more closely with the Kabubbu Development Project team on joint fundraising grants, foundation and trust applications.
Kabubbu Community Primary School enrolled 261 pupils in February 2021. Sadly, due to COVID-19 children in years, P1-P3 and Nursery did not attend school for quite some time. 34% of sponsored pupils completing their primary education grained a Grade 2 (or higher). 23 Quicken Trust sponsored children progressed to secondary education.
The School Meal Appeal programme continues to benefit from committed UK donors. 99 children are now on this programme. Most of these children are in primary education.
Primary School . Due to various nationwide lockdowns in Uganda, many of the children and staff were not able to enjoy classroom learning. However, of those that did attend received some external primary education, eight progressed on to secondary school. As there was no formal government furlough scheme, with the support of Quicken Trust donations, many of the staff were paid half salaries during this time.
Trust High School enrolled 503 students at the start of the new school year (February 2021). 93 are now sponsored. In November 2021, 115 students sat exams at '0’ level. The results were as follows:
Grade 1 = 31
Grade 2 = 40
Grade 3 = 26
Grade 4 = 17
Ungraded = 1
97 students graduated to 'A' levels (‘O’ Levels grade 1-3). Remarkably 42 students sat their 'A' levels during this extraordinary year of education. 33 non-sponsored students achieved grades high enough to apply to university. Six Quicken Trust sponsored students achieved grades high enough to graduate to university.
Like the primary school, much of the learning and extracurricular activities of the Trust High School were severely hampered, if not stopped, due to the various lockdowns. However, unlike many other schools, the Quicken Trust continued to provide the Kabubbu teaching staff with accommodation and 50% of their salary, whilst many in Uganda had no salary and left the teaching profession. This meant we only lost a small number of teachers. Many other schools have been forced to close as hundreds of teachers left the profession.
In turn, many children across the county have lost their chance of an education. During the pandemic with schools closed, the children could not receive their two meals a day putting even more pressure on already desperate families. Under these exceptional circumstances, we were able to re-direct some of our regular supporters’ funds to provide food not just to the children but also to their families.
For both schools, this year has been very tough and has seen little in class teaching. As has been proven over the last 15 years by the Quicken Trust, affordable and quality education is an essential building block in lifting children, families and communities out of poverty. The consequences of the pandemic are still being felt and it is expected to take many years for the community to fully recover.
Tertiary Education . During the year, 46 students were trying to continue their studies at colleges of further education and university in the capital. However, due to the pandemic, many course completion dates have been extended and students who could access the internet used online resources to try and continue their studies to some extent.
Fonthill Vocational Training Centre offers certificate courses in hairdressing, cosmetics and beauty treatments, IT/computer engineering, catering, dressmaking and electrical installation. Activities had to be curtailed during the virus. However, 70 trainees were enrolled in 2021 and 22 sat their final exams.
Kabubbu Health Centre has continued to provide first-class affordable healthcare throughout an extraordinary year of devastation and under unimaginable conditions. 1,814 COVID-19 vaccinations were administered during this period paid for by a longstanding supporting US Foundation as the Ugandan Ministry of Health did not supply any for the community, only the Health Centre staff. The Health Centre staff have produced some amazing increases in treatment without any increase in funding from the Quicken Trust. We applaud their work.
Average monthly patient numbers across the year were 3,096. This is up from the previous year (2,180). 42,548 patients were served during the year both at the centre and at outposts. The total number of lab tests increased by 30.5% to 31,468 – an extra 7,346 from the previous year. Tests are completed each month for malaria, typhoid, syphilis, HIV, urinalysis, B/Glucose, HCG, brucella, ulcers, Hep B, sputum, HB, B/Group, Stool analysis, and FBC/CBC.
On average, 384 (299 in 2020/2021) mothers per month attended antenatal care services during this period and 73 babies a month, on average, were born at the centre (63 – 2020/21). 959 children were routinely vaccinated monthly for BCG, polio, DPT, PCV, measles, IPV and Rota vaccine and despite a few dips in attendance due to COVID-19 restrictions; this is an increase from last year (738).
The monthly average number of women that attend family planning services increased to 70 users, an increase of 21% from the previous year. 1425 cumulative clients per month are registered in the HIV/AIDS clinic, an increase of nearly 20% from the year before.
The Health Centre employs 32 members of staff. The Ugandan government grant continues to meet only a very small percentage of the Health Centre's costs. Due to the pandemic, drug costs have increased significantly. There was an 11% increase in the drug bill. The ‘In Charge’ (lead clinician and manager) identified that if the health centre could attract more private patients their fees could help offset these increases. 30 private patients attended the Health Centre over the year.
Welfare programmes 94 elderly people in the community are supported through the Elderly Person Sponsorship scheme. The elderly are often looking after large numbers of grandchildren, many have been orphaned due to the Aids/HIV epidemic and ill health. Their monthly funding includes three eggs, maize flour, sugar, paraffin, soap, and meat that is delivered to them, and assistance collecting water.
All 13 of the foster children during this year were in good health, busy reading their books, doing craftwork and gardening with their foster mother.
201 trainees graduated from the Street Business School during the year. 265 Christmas items donated by sponsors/supporters were distributed. Where possible welfare home visits continued. Quicken Trust supporters all help fund additional provisions, given to different elderly people in the community over the year. This included chicken, garden tools, laundry detergent, blankets mattresses and bedding
There was a surplus on unrestricted funds for the year of £32,365 (2021: deficit of £14,933 ) leaving a balance of unrestricted reserves carried forward of £39,678. There was a deficit on restricted funds for the year of £46,797 (2021: surplus of £33,124) leaving restricted reserves carried forward of £55,773.
The overall result for the year was a deficit of £14,432 (2021: surplus of £18,191) leaving total funds carried forward of £95,451.
Reserves
The Trust is dependent upon Almighty God to provide all its needs. However, as a matter of best practice The Trust does seek to hold reserves to cover operating costs in the event of a significant fall in General fund giving equivalent to a level of at least 3 months core operating expenditure. Following a generous gift to the charity in 2019/20 a specific reserve fund has been established of £25,000 to cover this.
Public benefit
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Risk Factors
The Trustees continually assess the major business and operational risks which the charity faces and are satisfied systems are in place to enable regular reports to be produced so that necessary steps can be taken to mitigate exposure to those risks.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee which was incorporated in England and Wales on 17 February 2004, and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.
The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Trustees are elected by the members by a majority vote in general meetings.
New T rustees are identified as those with sufficient skills to serve the work of the T rust both from a business and spiritual perspective. Suitable induction and training is provided as required.
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.
Trustees are approaching new people with the necessary skills to support the work; particularly with legal, financial and fundraising skills concerning charitable trusts.
The day to day management of the T rust is undertaken by the Chief Executive, Paul Pirie, together with support staff who report to the Board of Trustees.
V olunteers Geoff and Geraldine Booker maintain certain activity promoting the Charity and developing the work in Kabubbu.
Note s 17 to 18 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds and a description of the trusts. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on a fund by fund basis.
The Trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.
The Trustees, who are also the directors of The Quicken Trust for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Quicken Trust (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
The statement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year.
All income and expenditure derive from continuing activities.
The Quicken Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Chantry House, 22 Upperton Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 1BF.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Gifts, donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as incoming resources when received, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement. Donations and gifts towards accommodation and other costs for those visiting Kabubbu are recognised on receipt of the money. Gift Aid Tax recovered under gift aid is accrued within the accounts as received and credited to the General fund .
Monies received for travel flights from those travelling to Kabubbu to provide support services and for educational visits are recognised when the trip takes place as is the corresponding expenditure. Where monies are received in the period prior to the trip they are deferred and released in the following year when the trip takes place.
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and allocated to the appropriate cost centre. Expenditure for charitable activities includes grants given, other direct charitable costs such as the direct costs of groups visiting Kabubbu to provide support and the purchase of equipment, and the support costs in carrying out the activities such as administration. In addition, there are cost centres for fundraising and governance costs, which are the costs incurred in the strategic management of the charity and of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Direct costs are allocated to the appropriate fund. Support costs are not apportioned but are all related to the Community Development fund.
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. It is the policy of the trust to write off all items below £1,000 to the SOFA.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bas i s:
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Trust is wonderfully served by volunteers and some administrative work has been outsourced. The value of volunteers in the UK office and those who travel from time to time and work in the Kabubbu village are impossible to quantify in material terms.
The average monthly number of full and part time employees during the year was:

Deferred income is included in the financial statements as follows:
Income received from delegates who will take part in trips to Kabubbu in the next financial year are carried forward as deferred income and released to the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in the year in which the trip takes place.
