Figure 1 ANNUAL REVIEW | 3 ## STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT ## **T R U S T E E S** Our management has set clear set of jobs for each individual which leads them to work effectively. For example: our management include A Chairperson, Vice chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Managers and other colleagues. Also, our management conduct meeting once every month which discuss range of things such as finance (expenditure of costs), complain or concerns, organisation new activities and making changes to old activities. Our priority to make social changes while taking care of Health and Safety. We aim to apply the Charity Governance Code and have an agreed action plan. In the governance of an effectively run community centre charity, trustees: - Refer to their governing document to ensure they have the power to take any proposed actions and ensure that any change in activities are in keeping with the charities objectives - Be proactive in consulting with the community their charity is set up to serve and in promoting activities it provides - Consider a wide range of techniques or determining the needs of their community - Ensure that their charity accommodates those activities that fit the need of the community - Seek advice from charity commission or relevant body before making significant changes ANNUAL REVIEW | 4 ## **A C H I E V E M E N T A N D P E R F O R M A N C E** Our organisation has made several achievements through out the years. For example, we started IT classes for women only. According to research 30% of women lack in IT/digital skills. There are many reasons for eg lack of education, no access to technology or in certain cultures women are expected to take care of the household rather than using technology and using skills to achieve education or jobs. We wanted to break down barriers and provide education to women. Everything is based on computers, laptops and phones and many employers look for IT skills to employ individuals. The thought about starting this class came when we observed several ladies struggle in their everyday life to stay up to date with technologies. The elderly could not visit their families for long, therefore, by introducing them to social networking sites reduced distance from their families. Also, by ordering food and clothes from stores provided extra help to individual who were disabled. Overall, this class enhanced their self-esteem, improved their language skill, literacy skills and personal skills. This class continued for full one year (2X a week) and attendances were excellent. It was first time, we ever received funding and no doubt, we provided best service and meet needs of our community. We stayed into our budget but made no compromise to quality of teaching and resources provided to women. We started by obtaining funding from local council and used the funding to obtain computer screens, PC, tables, chairs and etc. We further advertised the classes on social media, leaflets through doors and on our community centre note board. We managed to get volunteers to plan classes and teach classes. This class was aimed at beginners, so the course started by teaching students about parts of computer, how to turn the computer screen on, logging in and opening search engines. Further lessons included, creating, and sending emails, using Microsoft word to create CV’s, using websites such as amazon, filling job applications online and etc. At the end of the program students achieved a qualification and certificate. Most women managed to find part time jobs and some managed to use computers in their daily lives and improve their quality of life. Further achievements include starting bhangra classes. The club is set up to provide fitness to people around the city. The club is for people who enjoy dancing and for those who want to begin their fitness journey and learn about tradition and culture aswell. The classes create opportunities for those who would like to take bhangra dancing to the next level, become professional and show their talent in front or a live audience. ANNUAL REVIEW | 5 ## FINANCIAL REVIEW ## Funding: Our organisation was granted funding from local authority during 2020-2021. Our need to apply for funding was that our centre had lack of refurnished property such as damage doors (fire exit), without double glazing windows (outdated windows with cracks and unable to close properly), without baby changing facility and walls required new paint. Our organisation previously received many complains such as Hall is unable to provide warm environment due to damaged windows and doors. This is essential to resolve because majority elderly people visits, with disabilities. Therefore, cold environment makes their health condition even worse. Furthermore, our centre is used by various social groups for entertainment purposes such as wedding or sports activities and as a results neighbor complained of high level noise and disturbance. Therefore, our organisation required soundproof doors as well as baby changing facilities to meet up to health & safety requirements. According to our research and feedback from community the funding benefited all social groups regardless of age, gender, race and etc. Due to the new refurbishment of the hall elderly groups were able to use new facilities, meet and take part in activities such as yoga without being worried about being cold or ill due to damp walls. Furthermore, young groups were able to use the facilities within the hall for dancing and karate. Men and women were able to use the new baby changing room facilities and there was easier access to disabled toilets. Furthermore, the community centre was able to pay electric, water and other bills during the covid period. ANNUAL REVIEW | 6 ANNUAL REVIEW | 7 DR B. R.
