We held our AGM by zoom only on 16 June. About 20 people attended. I can report that we will continue with the present application for grants procedure, asking our representatives in Ghana to be intermediaries. So, no “windows” for the present, because we do not have the resources to meet demand. Your executive committee was re-elected, nem con, and we enjoyed a great slide presentation from our Hon Sec, Jo Hallett. The latest accounts can be viewed on our accounts page.

I have permission to reproduce here the kind words of supporter Miles Stevenson from Sheffield, Yorkshire:

Dear Penny, Many thanks for the latest Newsletter. It is a huge pleasure to read about all the excellent work which Ghana School Aid is doing. I really like the little fundraising flyers you have included… indeed I have sent one to a friend already to encourage him to donate (we “swapped” charities after a 20km walk through the Peak District: I’ll do “bees” if he will do “Ghana”!). I think it would be a v. good idea to continue including a couple of fundraising flyers with future mailshots. A very good way of getting your supporters to spread the word. […] I wish all of you well, especially your new Chair – a great person to recruit. Best wishes from Yorkshire, Miles.
