As the Chair of Apna Ghar, I am pleased to present our annual report, reflecting on our achievements, challenges, and future goals. 2024 has been another pivotal year for our organization, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together.
Reflecting on the past year’s achievements, we have been successful in our fundraising target by obtaining ongoing National Lottery support, building upon ongoing funding support from Ballinger Trust, Northumbria Police, Garfield Weston, South Tyneside Council, Community Foundation and our joint Food Fair project with WHIST. We are very grateful to each of our donors and supporters, without whom we would not be supporting and transforming the lives of girls and women daily. It is with sincere thanks to the dedication of our team and generous contributions from our donors that we are excelling in our aim to provide a multi-generational support service offer to our local community. Enabling, empowering and supporting all girls and women in our community.
2024 saw us launch our Youth Group initiative which has been immensely popular and has impacted positively on our younger service users. We have increased our community involvement through participating in local and regional events and workshops and aim to further fostering stronger community relationships and awareness of our mission. We continue to stride forward in establishing new partnerships with peer organisations and enhance our capacity to serve and reach more beneficiaries.
Despite our successes, we have faced challenges including funding fluctuations and retaining of staff. We are actively addressing these issues by recruiting a Centre Coordinator as well as continuing to develop initiatives for further funding to help and support our community users in all areas of health and social care.
Moving forward, we aim to expand our outreach programs to serve all active and potential service users in South Tyneside, increase our digital presence to attract all age supporters and operationalise a new older persons support program to further enhance our capacity to support service users of all ages. We aim to build upon developing plans to provide an all-age service offer to really support our service users holistically. Recently, we witnessed and/or experienced racist and Islamophobic behaviour throughout England. This was a difficult time for many of us and laid bare the importance of community and cultural integration as well as the need to come together and support one another. We must protect and provide a safe space for everyone, especially those who are most vulnerable as well as educate those who are unaware, to develop cultural competency and community cohesion. With our community events continuing and the Town coming together peacefully, it feels that locally we have been successful in community cohesion. But we must continue to retain, strengthen and build upon community links further consolidating our communities mutual respect and support.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and Trustees for their unwavering commitment. Your hard work is the backbone of our charity.
Together, we have made significant strides, but there is much more to be done. Let us continue to work collaboratively to achieve our mission and continue making a difference in our community.
In the words of Margaret Maed “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Thank you for your support

2023-2024 has been another challenging yet successful year. We have continued to deliver our classes and courses, as the demand increases for these services. This has been possible due to the continued support of our funders and the grants received from them.

Our Information Advice and Guidance sessions are accessed on a daily basis by our service users. Much of the support accessed is for Universal Credit, health related benefits, Housing, Employment and Training advice.
Our Domestic Abuse project support workers provide a listening ear to the DA women and provide the right level of help and support where needed.
Our popular classes have been our IT classes and Basic Literacy class. Women were keen to improve their IT skills as well as their spoken English. This enabled them to learn how to navigate the internet and to create and access Universal Credit accounts, NHS app etc. As digital technology plays a major part of society now, moving forward this new skill would help them improve both their own and families lives.
Health and general wellbeing are important to us, and we are focused on educating the women to live healthier lifestyles. The women have shown interest in our Fitness classes and we are happy to see that there are women from different age groups and fitness levels that have participated .
Our Food Fair Project educates the women to understand how to cook healthier meals, focuses on food sustainability and reducing food wastage. These were delivered at the centre as well as in external venues. The women have thoroughly enjoyed attending sessions where they have had the opportunity to participate in cooking demos, as well as receiving goodies, such as slow cookers to experiment cooking easy and healthy dishes. Alongside the Food Fair sessions the women have had opportunity to attend our Welcoming Space/Luncheon Club for food and also to meet other women in a safe space.
Another popular class is our Sewing class. As we were able to secure funding from The National Lottery, the sessions have continued again this year. We have helped the women bring out their creative side and many have been able to produce some outstanding pieces of work.
Our Volunteer project and Carers Project have continued to do well. Many women secured placements in Apna Ghar, schools, playgroups and Care homes as Volunteers, after completing their Volunteer passports. They have also managed to gain qualifications in Food Safety, Customer Service and Safeguarding training. These were delivered by Lokman Training and Training in Care.
Training in Care, as part of our Carers Project continued to deliver Level 1 and 2 in Diploma in Care at Apna Ghar with many of the women securing employment and voluntary placements after completion of the courses.
A Carers support Group at Apna Ghar has also been successful in providing the BME carers to attend and engage with other Carers for information, to enjoy a cup of tea and activities together.
We participated in a few Mini Health Checks provided by First Contact Clinical over the year. This was very popular and we were happy to see that many women took up this opportunity to attend. These important health checks were able to pick up health issues of the women for further checks and referrals to their GPS.
We are happy to report that once again we were able to support the Local Authority to distribute Household Support vouchers to 100 eligible families from the BAME communities affected by the cost-of-Living crisis.
Apna Ghar participated in the Ocean Road Mela for the second year running. It was a very successful event with a good opportunity for the local community to engage in many fun activities we had and to find out more about the services we have to offer.
Funding for staffing costs continues to be a challenge due to many short- term funded projects coming to an end. We remain hopeful that we will continue to secure more funding to continue our invaluable services. We have had a few challenges with roof leaks and other building maintenance issues but managed to cover the costs from some of our running costs. We did manage to secure some funding from STC CAF grant which helped us purchase new carpets for the upper floors staircase.
In addition, with the demand of our services we will continue to apply for further funding from Trusts and Charities to help continue our important work.
Big thanks to staff, volunteer, and management board members for their continued hard work and support.

Apna Ghar’s vision is to remain a leading supplier of services for Minority Ethnic Women. It has the aim to enhance the services provided by continually reviewing and understanding the needs of its members.

Resmina Reed
Funding and Personnel Manager
In my capacity as the Funding and Personnel Manager, it gives me great pleasure to see that we are daily, delivering work which has continued to meet the aims and objectives of Apna Ghar since its inception.
Anyone working in the charity world will know that job security, long term strategic planning and implementing processes, procedures and policies which can make real long-lasting progress and create a better society is not simple. Although sustainability can at times be precarious, Apna Ghar has managed this challenge and has continued to operate for over 35 years with the support of many long-term funders who see the value of our vital work and for this we are extremely grateful.
we work together and create changes that have real and long-term impact. We have representatives from various religious and cultural backgrounds, and we are proud that this home allows everyone into it without any prejudice.
Through education and building self-esteem and confidence, everyone can play their part in becoming good citizens and raise their children with values that are universal.
Empowerment of the most vulnerable minority ethnic women is at the heart of everything we do, Apna Ghar is the bridge that enables each woman’s unmet needs to be understood and made possible, when she realizes and acknowledges that she has rights, a voice and choices and that she and her family will be given support to actualize them as well as heal from intergenerational trauma that is evident in most minority ethnic groups, until she can feel able to manage her and her family’s lives and cope with the challenges of normal life and truly integrate them into the wider community, this is what the Centre continually strives to do.
What has also become very apparent to me in this role is how the global challenges continue to impact and reverberate locally for example the status and safety of women, gaps between the rich and poor, education and learning, peace and conflict, values and ethics and many more.
So, moving forwards, Apna Ghar is looking to bring the voices of the minority ethnic women with the support of our local partners into the bigger conversations where the changes that need to happen, are not only the changes that are for our local and national communities but with an eye always on what that might look like on a Global platform and how together we could create a better and harmonious world!
Apna Ghar (which means “Our Home”) therefore continues its intention to make every woman who enters its door to feel at home and to create a sistership with all women and our partner organizations as

Shellina Begum Carers project Lead
Apna Ghar developed the Vimla Carers Project which aims to overcome some of the barriers faced by and to better meet the needs of Black and minoritised women in South Tyneside, including those providing care, needing care for themselves or wanting to develop their skills to obtain paid employment as a career. The project aimed:
-
To develop one-to-one support and wrap around care to ensure carers and their families are accessing all available entitlements including state benefits, listening services and other advice and advocacy support.
-
To ensure carers are looking after their own health and wellbeing needs so they can care well.
-
To create links and connections between carers and those cared for.
-
To create a peer-support group for carers with others who understand their lives.
-
To build confidence and skills-recognition sessions for women, alongside English for Speakers of Other Languages, to ensure carers can look at career development.
-
To support women interested in developing a career in care with skills, knowledge, and training to enable them to provide culturally sensitive and appropriate care for others in their communities through paid work.
When designing this project, a support worker commented:
“Many women are caring for children or adults with disabilities or special needs within their home and are unaware of support which might be available for them.”
Alongside the development of the project, carers and those cared for within Black and minoritised communities were able to be involved in the strategic development of a Carers Strategy, led by South Tyneside council.
“Support from Apna Ghar to participate in this strategy has been invaluable; it is recognised in the strategy that
‘relatively low numbers of carers from culturally diverse communities identify as carers or access support services’ and without the engagement of Apna Ghar to facilitate the connectivity between the local authority and women caring in the community, this document may not have recognised the specific needs faced by Black and minoritised communities in South Tyneside. It is great credit to Apna Ghar and the women using their services, that they were able to influence the production of such a significant piece of work which has been built with the needs of carers at its centre.

The project involves working with the community, including young people, families and schools, to develop the skills and motivation to think and act in regard to better quality food at lower cost.
Several cooking on a budget session have been held in various venues in South Shields which were delivered by Apna Ghar.
Being an ethnic minority center, we are also able to share our knowledge of the medicinal benefits of the spices used in our cooking which are very easily available these days as well as the many different cooking styles of various cultures represented at the Centre.
At the end of each cooking course, slow cookers, electric grills and food vouchers were handed out to those who attended the course.
We also take into account the wellbeing side and invite different organizations monthly usually to raise awareness. These usually are part of our luncheon club, which is held once a week. We have held sessions to raise awareness about Breast Cancer, Lung cancer, Cervical Cancer, DWP, and Health watch to name a few.

Throughout the year, we have had weekly groups, and attendance has been roughly 8-18 girls at any one time. The sessions have included baking, flower arranging, candle making, mug painting, coffee and colouring as well as massage and well-being evenings.
During the year, two trips were planned with the group: A pantomime at the Customs House and the Escape room. Feedback has been very positive, and the Escape room trip was a major success with the girls and most of them enjoyed the challenge and showed great enthusiasm.
Support from our volunteers also made this project run smoothly and they in turn were also getting the opportunity to learn from the sessions as well as enjoy them.

at Apna Ghar Sewing
THE SEWING SKILLS COURSE is delivered on a weekly basis and is very popular with the women at the Centre.
The aim for the course is to provide students with essential sewing skills to build their confidence in using a sewing machine, enabling them to use the learned skills to save money on garment making and repairs as well as enabling them to use the skills to offer garment making and repair services.
Alongside the sewing skills, the aim is also to improve students’ confidence when it comes to socializing, improve language skills, basic math and English and becoming familiar with the cultural side of life in the UK, especially for those students who are new to the country and English is their second language. Our aim is to help build their confidence in communication and support them to carry out their day-to-day activities independently.
Most of the students who started the class this term were novices and very keen to learn sewing skills and learn how to use a sewing machine. Main reasons to join the sewing class
-
to be able to make their own clothes/garments.
-
to be able to do basic mending and understand different types of fabrics.
-
Build their confidence in speaking and socializing.
-
Explore different cultures through fabrics and garments.
All the students started the course with learning to use the sewing machines and discussed which one to buy for their personal use according to their skill level.
Students also learned how to create a sewing pattern using an old garment. By creating their own sewing pattern helps to enhance students’ math and English skills (reading and writing). Essential skills, to allow students to save money by not buying pre-printed patterns which can be costly and will support their creative thinking as they will be able to make changes into patterns according to their needs.

The English conversation classes have been running since Sept 2021 alongside the Adult Care courses. Ladies who were interested in studying : on the Level 1 and 2 Adult Care courses, but who needed a little bit more help with their English skills, were eligible to join the classes. It is a rolling programme, so students stay until they feel confident enough to move onto the Adult Care courses.
Teaching these classes is very enjoyable as there are no exams, the ladies feel less under pressure. They liked practising their English in a safe, relaxed and non-threatening environment. Many of them were beginners or felt that their speaking skills were rusty and welcomed the chance to practise the language again. I have known some of the ladies for quite a long time and there has always been a mutual respect and a keen desire to become involved.
Many different themes and issues were explored and discussed over the three years. We looked at a lot of vocabulary to do with health & wellbeing and talked about the care systems in the UK and the students’ own countries. We also discussed topical news stories, and issues relevant to the ladies’ own lives, such as their children’s education and how to find a job in the local area. The ladies were encouraged to share opinions and make suggestions whenever possible and were given the appropriate words and phrases to do so. They also refreshed their knowledge of basic grammar – present and past tenses, question formation, comparatives & superlatives, etc.
Quite a few of the learners went on to study Adult Care at Levels 1 & 2, and/or joined other courses offered at Apna Ghar, such as Customer Care, I.T. and Food Hygiene (all taught in English). This was a great result, and it was lovely to see the ladies’ confidence and skills increase. In my and the learners’ opinion, there is a definite need for these kinds of classes to continue in the future.
Some quotes from the students:
“It was nice to speak English” – Monoara
“Everybody has the chance to speak” – Shirina
“My English has improved…day by day we learn more” – Nargis
- “I am happy that the teacher is interested in our culture” – Shirina

Review of activities and performance 2023-24
We are very proud to report another year where the minority ethnic women of South Tyneside have benefited greatly from the services provided by Apna Ghar. This is very much reflected in the confidence they have gained and development of their personal and social skills.

Risks, reserves and investments
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level equivalent to six months expenditure. This level would allow the charity to continue its activities for a reasonable period in the event of a sudden curtailment of funding. This would allow enough time for the charity to either obtain new funding sources or restructure its activities
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which comply with the regulations set out in the Charities Act 1993. The Trustees have elected to take advantage of the provisions that apply to small charities and have prepared a Receipts and Payments Account and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Independent Examiners Report
Report to the Apna Ghar trustees of
On accounts for the year ended
31 March 2024 Charity no 1090870
Respective The trustees of the organisation are responsible for the preparation of responsibilities of accounts; they consider that an audit is not required for this year under trustees and section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent examiner Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act),
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
-
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions independent given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review examiner’s of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the statement accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: examiner's 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material statement respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of
-
the Act); and • accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Review of activities and performance 2023-24
We are very proud to report another year where the minority ethnic women of South Tyneside have benefited greatly from the services provided by Apna Ghar. This is very much reflected in the confidence they have gained and development of their personal and social skills.
Activities
Community Foundation - Basic literacy classes : have been delivered to women who were identified as having none or very basic knowledge of the English language. The sessions were to help these women to build their English skills, especially developing their spoken skills. This would then prepare them to move on to pre-entry/level1 ESOL classes.
Community Foundation - Basic IT Classes : In today’s fast paced and interconnected world, we need to have a digital presence. The advent of the internet and the rapid growth of Digital technologies have transformed the way we communicate and conduct day to day activities. This class has proved to be very popular.
