The chart shows income received by A Rocha International and each National Organization (except those whose income is under £15,000: Bulgaria, Finland, New Zealand and Switzerland). A Rocha International supports all the National Organizations in three key areas: by providing leadership and training programmes, by publicising the work at an international level and by fostering the emergence of new A Rocha initiatives. During 2010 A Rocha International also saw significant growth in its income due to a small number of highly committed donors. Because of this: • We made substantial grants to the National Organizations, funding key leadership posts in ten countries, totalling £249,500, targeted to increase their own ability to raise funds and undertake community conservation projects. • Each of the Directors visited National Teams to give support and training. Our Director of Finance and our Director of Science and Conservation provided training in Ghana and Kenya; our Director of Development worked closely with The Leaders’ Forum took place at the A Rocha France centre near Nice. (Dan Tay) colleagues in Canada and the USA; whilst our Executive Director visited the Czech Republic, Lebanon and France. • The Leaders’ Forum in June 2010 brought together our International Trustees, International Team and over 50 A Rocha leaders from around the world for consultations, teaching and the exchange of best practice. We are deeply grateful to all our donor partners around the world – whether churches, individuals, corporations, governments and/or institutions – for your on-going support and financial investment. We could not do the work without you! While our overall income over the last year was up, individual and church support was down. Trends continue to show that the economy is still striving to recover. Meanwhile, we are looking for ways to communicate more effectively with our supporters about our specific needs and how your financial support can make a difference. * These figures are based on management accounts as audited accounts for all National Organizations were not available at the time of going to press. The National Organizations are separate, independent legal entities. Their income is combined here to show the progress of the A Rocha family as a whole.
