EALING SOMALI WELFARE AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (ESWCA) ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022

ESWCA: CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

As the chair of ESWCA, I am very pleased to present to you, the organisation's annual report for the year ending March 2022.

This year has seen the organisation grow in many ways with new volunteers joining the organisation to support our core projects. This is the year that we have come to realise the true effect the pandemic and cost of living crisis is having on those that come to us for support.

We continue to forge partnerships with like minded organisation and I am pleased to report that the partnerships we are involved in, continue to support the organisation's capacity building ambitions.

Our work on Covid-19 continues as the pandemic is still with us and the virus is still mutating.

Despite the size and capacity of the organisation, we have been able to support 732 beneficiaries . Demand for our service continues to grow and it is our plan for the next financial to develop a two year strategic plan. The plan will seek to bring in more resources to meet the growing demand for services.

I would like to extend my and the organisation's sincere gratitude to our staff, volunteers, partners, beneficiaries and funders.

Asha HASSAN - ESWCA CHAIR
