Structure, governance and management
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. Eligibility for membership of the charity and membership of the Board of Trustees is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are to advance life and help young people and women in Ethiopia, including: - the provision of care homes and orphanages - the provision of educational facilities- the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their condition of life, and - providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Achievements and performance
Give A Future provides education and economic development to children and women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in order to change communities for the future. We believe that an education and access to credit change communities sustainably forever, as knowledge and expertise cannot ever be taken away from you and access to credit is what is needed in developing countries. We make sure that every single child and woman gets a job to then change their and their families' future forever.
Financial review
The charity relies on donors whose support is valued. The charity raised £34,346 during the year under review. The charity made donations totalling £45,170 in accordance with its aims and objectives.
Plans for future periods
Give A Future will expand the scholarship fund as much as possible, depending on the levels of fund raising. We understood after 12 years of running programmes in Africa, that scholarships for the high achieving students are the quickest and most effective way to bring about change. Giving access to credit to women is another area we are focusing on very successfully and will expand this when possible.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Give a Future

Year ended 31 January 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Give a Future ('the charity') for the year ended 31 January 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (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 accounts of the company 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 accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. Independent examiner's statement
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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 accounts to be reached.
