## **Chair’s Statement**
_With the ongoing development of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and the wide-reaching implications it is having around the UK and world, we are dedicated to ensuring that our communities and those in most need are supported at this very important time. We have lost many beloved members of our community and it seems clear that the pandemic and lockdowns have affected the hardest on BAME people and it has never been more important for us to navigate and manage the impact of Covid on our community and neighbourhood._
_Looking back on the 24 months since I took on the Chairmanship, I am exceptionally proud of all of our staff, volunteers and members for so many fantastic achievements. I am committed to helping our community, build our capacity, and strengthen our organisation. We are very proud of our partnership with many organisations, especially People’s Health Trust which in the last few years has supported our neighbourhood in building connections between local people, addressing health and wellbeing. I would like John Lyon’s Charity for their continued support as well as BME Health Forum. QPBA has always been committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the local ethnic minority groups through our services. Our projects would not have happened without the combination of skills and resources of our partners. All our projects have been very well managed, this has only been possible through hard work and total commitment of our users, and I thank them all._
_I would also like to thank all our management committees and project staff for their sincere and competent work. My sincere thanks go to our valuable funders, donors, supporters and all our staff & volunteers. Without them, we could not achieve what we do. I hope that with their continued assistance, we will be able to carry on to deliver projects and services beneficial for our community. I also thank all the volunteers for their time and effort in making all our programmes, events and projects successful. I look forward to seeing what exciting initiatives we can develop in future years’._
## **General Secretary’s Statement**
_‘So much has changed over the year, yet the principles remain the same within our work. We believe in people and their in-built abilities._ Some of our most incredible successes over the year have been led by people who’d previously not been given the opportunity to succeed. _And we continue to be a grassroots charity working flat out to deliver services and create opportunities in an area of high multiple deprivation. We see the impact of austerity, poverty and disadvantage on people’s lives every day._
_The levels of mental ill-health and loneliness are rampant across this great borough, and QPBA approach goes to the heart of the problem through its unique mix of connecting people with each other and supporting them with the down-to-earth practical help they need. It has been greatly rewarding to see the impact our projects are already having in the Queen’s Park Ward and further afield. At a time when a rise in loneliness and youth violence is dominating headlines and services are being cut, it is sadly little exaggeration to speak of the importance of our programmes as a positive influence on some much challenged lives._
_I hope that our association inspires our many diverse communities to work together, and I believe it is an organisation that offers services and prospects to the whole community.’_
## **Management Committee’s Statement**
_‘We would like to thank all our dedicated staff team and supporters for their contribution which made it possible to keep our service going. We are very grateful for all support given by charities trusts, foundations, individuals and businesses. We thank them hugely for all they do to improve the lives of our neighbourhood’_

## _**Trustees’ responsibilities**_
Company law requires the charity trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of the results of the return at the period. In preparing those financial reports, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any materials departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps and detect fraud and other irregularities.
