Chairman's Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

This report deals with the year up to 31 March 2022.

Welcome to our annual report for 2021/22.

We are a charity and we work for the benefit of BME communities in Preston. We exist to provide resources and facilities to meet the needs of those who are vulnerable and at the margins of society. I am delighted to be reviewing another very successful year for the charity. The beginning of our financial year 2021 coincided with the removal of most of the Covid 19 restrictions which had severely impacted the Hamara Centre in 2020-21. We took full advantage by resuming and expanding our programme of activities. The extended and refurbished centre is now a thriving 'Hub' and the organisation is growing in terms of both income and service provision. Details of the types of activities and services provided are listed below.

Meetings of Charity's core management team have become smaller, following the resignation of Mahmooda Moosa and Mr Ibrahim Member's decision to retire from the team due to illness. It is also with great sadness I announce the recent passing of Mr Member, he is a great loss to PMF, he was a stalwart who served on PMF's management for over 20 years. We owe him an enormous debt of gratitude and my sincere condolences to his family, he will be greatly missed by PMF and the community at large, may He elevate his status. We will actively seek to recruit new members to add to the management team in the coming year.

I wish to express my thanks to our staff and to all the volunteers for the hard work they put in, especially to emerge from the pandemic with a revitalised programme of activities.

I would also like to thank my fellow Management Team Members for their dedication and conscientiousness in carrying out their duties.

Finally, I would like to thank all the partners and stakeholders and of course our funders for their continuing support and look forward to working with them in the future.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The charity's principal funding is derived through grants, contracts and income generation.

Property

The charity operates from a property which is leased from Preston City Council until 2037. The property was extended by the charity to provide improved premises. The original property was a single storey building. The charity received a capital grant of £385,000 during the year ended 31st March 2020 to add an extra floor onto the building.

The reserves include the capital amount of this project and this is being depreciated over its useful life at 10% on a reducing balance basis.

Reserves policy

Total reserves as at 31 March 2022 were £468,422. This comprises of Restricted Reserves of £464,589 and Unrestricted Reserves of £3,833.

Restricted reserves are in-year grants received which must to be spent for the purposes they are received from funders within the specified period.

The reserves policy of the Trustees is to ensure the organisation commits unrestricted (free) reserves towards furthering the objects of the charity whilst retaining sufficient amount to cover designated funds and ensure there is at least six months of funds set aside to cover organisational expenditure in the event there is little or no income forthcoming.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Provide and further develop our services and facilities to the community especially for children and young people and elderly
Encourage young people and women to serve on the Board to be more reflective of the demographics of the community
Ensure financial stability of the organisation for longer term sustainability
Strengthen Governance arrangements and build organisational capability

Provide and further develop our services and activities to the community especially for children and young people and elderly
Encourage young people and women to serve on the Board to be more reflective of the demographics of the community
Ensure financial stability of the organisation for longer term sustainability
Strengthen Governance arrangements and build organisational capability
Review current activities and prepare strategic plans for the future

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular, to the operations and finances and are satisfied that the systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure against the major risks.
