## **Public benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future objectives.
## **Objectives and activities**
The main aims and objectives of Sahara are;
- To preserve and protect the health and well-being of minority ethnic women in Preston, in particular those of Asian, Arabic, African and Caribbean heritage.
- To support and alleviate the social and economic problems created by high levels of unemployment, poverty, poor housing and social deprivation by offering a secure and comfortable place to turn to for help and advice
- To promote equality of opportunity and to oppose discrimination on the grounds of race, gender, religion, culture, and disability.
Sahara is a women’s only organisation which supports and assists women in culturally and linguistically sensitive way. Sahara is proud to be able to provide targeted support to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Women. We are unique in that we take an holistic approach and help women to overcome a wide range of interlinked problems. For example, mental health problems and a lack of confidence, may be rooted in a woman having been the victim of domestic violence for over 20 years. Many of our users need months of dedicated support to be able to ‘move on’ and overcome their difficulties.
Our work with other Agencies allows specialist advice about immigration, employment, education, domestic abuse and discrimination to be provided. We believe that the quality of society is rooted in the knowledge, attitudes, skills and abilities of those who are members of communities. With appropriate support, we enable our service users to overcome the many difficulties they face and become positive members of cohesive and sustainable communities.
We seek to achieve our objectives, by, offering a free confidential support service for women, providing advice, information, counselling, and advocacy covering a wide range of problems and issues; provide support to those wishing to enter the job market, by working with DWP, Employers and other voluntary organisation, provide volunteering opportunities; social activities run Netball and Football classes for Asian young women, hold conferences and seminars on health and other issues; and in conjunction with education and learning providers, offer a wide range of vocational and non-vocational courses.
We are also a designated centre for the reporting of Hate Crime.

## **Review of the charity’s activities**
Sahara continued to provide core activities for minority ethnic women to develop skills and experiences to enable them to move towards active citizenship within the Preston area. We also assisted women from Lancaster, Blackpool, Leyland and Chorley, were organisations like Sahara, do not exist. In recent times the challenges we have faced are a substantial increase in the women needing help because of the rise in the incidents of domestic violence and the cost of living crisis which has particularly affected women living in areas of high social deprivation.
## **Services provided**
Sahara runs a number of Projects to support BME women and help them overcome problems they are facing. We employ bilingual staff to ensure we provide effective support to all our beneficiaries regardless of their language skills. Feedback from women indicates that the ability of our staff to communicate with them in their mother tongue is an invaluable support.
We provide advice on a wide range of issues, especially related to domestic abuse in all its forms. Our work with victims of abuse include advice on immigration status, housing, benefits, and a woman’s rights in relation to children and family property. A self-help group meets regularly for women to come together and support each other. Counselling is provided to help women overcome the trauma of the abuse they have suffered. Women are also encouraged to make use of our employment services, so that over time they can become financially independent and have control over their lives. Other areas we frequently provide advice on are debt management, school places and appeals process, and dealing with formal letters from statutory organisations. Since 2021, we have been involved in distributing food parcels for those living in extreme poverty. This work is increasingly becoming a vital service for our beneficiaries and their families. We work closely with other service providers and in particular the NHS promoting their health and well-being initiatives.
We run a Job Club were women can learn how to search for jobs, complete online application forms, prepare CVs, prepare for interviews and understand the requirements of employers. Local employers kindly support the Job Club, by attending on a two weekly basis to explain the type of jobs found in their organisations .
Job Fairs and Volunteering Fairs are held at regular intervals with local employers .and other voluntary organisations in attendance. These gave over five hundred women the opportunity to find out about the range of jobs and volunteering opportunities in the City. By the end of March 2024, one hundred and seventy-one women had obtained jobs as the result of the support provided by Sahara. They now have financial independence and increased status and influence within their families and community and provide a role model for other women. The Job Fairs also provide opportunities for employers to directly meet with job seekers and explain the types of jobs available within their organisations and talk through their current vacancies. We also work with statutory and other voluntary organisations to promote paid and volunteering opportunities to our beneficiaries. We provide confidence building training when needed and where women lack the necessary skills for the job market we encourage them to attend English, Math and Computer classes run at Sahara. Volunteering opportunities are offered so that women can develop valuable transferrable skills. These are within Sahara itself and in partnership with other voluntary organisations.
For many BME women Covid resulted in fear, isolation, anxiety and depression often exacerbating existing conditions. The effects of Covid will take years for some women to fully recover from. We run support groups on a weekly basis, which enable women to come together in a relaxed atmosphere and undertake activities geared to helping them improve their mental health. Women are encouraged and supported to seek medical help, and counselling is provided were a woman feels it would be of help to her.

Our weekly sports activities are very popular with young Asian Girls as well as playing, keeping fit and meeting other teams, such as the Police Cadets they have broken down cultural stereotypes, been role models to other girls, and been able to develop valuable social, confidence, communication leadership, time management and team building skills and self –esteem.
During the period April 2023 to March 2024 over two thousand BME women accessed various services from Sahara Centre based on Fishwick Parade with majority of the users coming from Ribbleton, St Mathews, Deepdale, Fishwick and Avenham. These are areas of high social deprivation, which according to government statistics are amongst some of the worst in the Country coming within the top 10% of deprived areas nationally. As indicated earlier, we also worked with women from other towns and cities including, Chorley, Leyland, Blackpool and Lancaster.
Our work with BME women since 1991, has shown, that in addition to facing this level of deprivation and disadvantage, our service users have to deal with other issues including lack of power and influence in their personal lives often leading to mental health problems.
A number of women faced problems because of their immigration status they had no access to public funds
Sahara provides a bespoke service for BME women who are either victims of domestic abuse from their partners/extended family members, or forced marriages. It provides emotional support together with information and guidance, and encourages and assists victims to report incidents of domestic violence and forced marriages.
Where victims wish to leave the family home, we help them obtain housing or a place at local Women is Refuge and enable them to access relevant benefits and school places for their children. Where they do not wish to leave the family home, we work to help them to develop the confidence and personal strategies to keep themselves safe as well as inform the perpetrators that their behaviour is unacceptable. Our support to women who are victims of domestic abuse and forced marriage has enabled those, who are reluctant to seek help because of culture and honour, to disclose their situation and begin the process of rebuilding their lives. During 2023-24 we saw an increase in the number of women seeking help and advice in relation to domestic violence caused in some cases by the cost of living crisis with women being the ‘scape goats’ for debt and financial difficulties
Sahara staff have also supported a number of women who needed advice in relation to Child Protection Orders. In many cases, they did not understand the process and were in danger of exacerbating the situation.
Our ‘one stop shop’ facility enabled over 110 BME women, each week, to raise problems affecting their lives, thus allowing them to ‘have a voice’ and preventing their marginalization and isolation from within the wider society. Depending on the complexity of the issues, it can take between 2 hours to 72 hours to resolve problems. Sahara actively encouraged women to engage in their local communities, volunteering in local schools and play schemes and working with other partners to improve local neighbourhoods. Our partnerships with Lancashire Adult Learning, WEA, and other training organisations enabled BME women to take advantage of a wide range of courses, many delivered weekly, through the year. Many of the courses are accredited and provide a progression route for women who wish to gain higher-level qualifications and employment.
At the request of women and the BME community and in conjunction with Lancashire County Council, we opened a Saturday morning Maths Study Centre for Primary and Secondary School children from across the Preston area. These have provided additional support, helped improve confidence, improved the standard of homework submitted and provided advice about examination preparation. Again, at the request of women Lancashire County Council has run Education information sessions were women have been able to find about applying for school places, submitting appeals, transport, school uniforms and free school meals.
During this period, in addition to on-going activities, Sahara ran specific projects on: domestic abuse and forced marriage; social isolation, mental health; digital inclusion, financial inclusion; literacy, employment support, sport activities, weekly job clubs, and health awareness programmes. Many projects were delivered through partnership working with a range of public and voluntary sector organisations. Including, NHS, Lancashire Constabulary, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, Lancashire County Council, and Preston North End Community Education Trust
5
We worked on a day-to-day basis with partner organisations, supporting each other by sharing knowledge and experience to improve services for vulnerable BME women. Our partner organisations include NHS, South Ribble Primary Care Trust, and Preston City Council. Preston Domestic Violence Service, Department of Work and Pensions, Active Lancashire, Lancashire County Council, REC, Refugee and Asylum Seeker services, Immigration services, Local Primary and Secondary Schools, Preston Vocational Centre. Safe Net. Childs Play. Housing Associations, Friends of Fishwick and St Matthews, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, Lancashire Constabulary, Macmillan Cancer Support Charity, DWP, MIND, Preston North End Community Education Trust, Health Watch, Mandala CIC, Preston Community Network. All of these relationships contributed to the support services we offered our beneficiaries during 2023-24
Sahara held four Open Days and Consultation events to identify the needs of women and to help them empower themselves. Conferences where held with representatives of statutory and other voluntary organisations, including Lancashire County Council, NHS, Health Visitor and Midwifery Services, Clinic Commissioning Group, Preston City Council, Police, DWP, HMRC, CAB and Refuges, to improve women’s knowledge about the role and responsibilities of these service providers. Numbers of participants were kept small to encourage a robust dialogue and discussion. These events have given women the confidence and the knowhow to approach statutory and service providers to report problems. The Sahara Manager is actively involved in working at a strategic level with the Police, NHS, Police and Crime Commissioner, Preston City Council, Lancashire County Council and the wider voluntary sector to represent the needs of BME women.
Furthermore, the Manager sits on a number of strategic bodies. She continued as the Chair of the Preston BME Forum, which works strategically to increase representation, influence, and engagement of all local BME organisations and the communities they serve, in the decisions and policies that affect them. She chairs meetings of the City Council’s Inclusion Reference Group, which acts as a critical friend in relation to Preston City Councils, Equality and Diversity policies and is Chair of the Preston Community Network, which supports voluntary organisations in the Preston area
Sahara is also a member of the Managing Committee for the Friends of Fishwick and St Matthews, which is overseeing a lottery grant to improve facilities in the area.
Sahara has been recognised as a Community Asset in the Friends of Fishwick and St Matthews Community Plan.
## **Future Plans**
Sahara is committed to continuing its work to support vulnerable BME women in Preston and surrounding areas by seeking funding to deliver services to this group. With over thirty-two years’ experience of supporting and working with BME women, there is now a recognition amongst public, private and third sector organisations about Sahara’s unique position in Preston and the vital contribution we make to community cohesion and social inclusion
## **Going Concern**
The Board has secured funding for the 2024-25 financial year from the Big Lottery, Preston City Council, Lloyds Foundation, Ministry of Justice and Home Office. USKSPF Employ and we will also look to identify other funding stream relevant to our work
## **Financial Information**

## **Preston City Council Health Inequalities Grant**
This enabled Sahara to improve the physical and mental health of BME women, particularly those who reside in the five areas of high social deprivation in the City
## **Health Improvement Project with South Rabble Primary Care Trust.**
This allowed the appointment of Health Care Champions who promoted the use of vaccinations and knowledge of cancer within the BME communities
## **Bowel Cancer Project Grant**

## **Food Poverty Grants from Lancashire County Council. Preston City Council and the Friends of Fishwick and St Matthews.**

## **Financial Review**
The Charities income during 23-24 totalled £422667 of this £360740 related to grant funding for specific Projects.
The surplus of unrestricted funds at the 31/3/24 totalled **£** 217865 and the surplus on restricted funds totalled £211685 and includes Projects which run over more than one financial year. Expenditure on specific projects and core cost totalled £355152
## **Reserves Policy**
It is the policy of Sahara, to only run projects, once funding is in place and staff are only employed for the life of a project.
Due to careful management, control of expenditure, and income generation activities, the unrestricted reserves at the end of the 2023-24 financial year stood at 217865, which will cover running costs for eleven months taking into account cost of living rises. Some of the unrestricted funds will also be used to finance the running of local projects, for which it would not be possible to obtain grant funding for and to run educational class for BME women, who would not meet the criteria for course run by training providers, but who nonetheless need support.
We are very grateful to all those organisations who have given their support to Sahara and to the staff and volunteers.
