4 **Annual Report 2020-2021** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** ing the weekdays and weekends alike. The BH UK Network was set up in 1996 to provide practical and psychological support to Bosni- an and other ethnic minority communities. The Committee consists of service users and service providers, including young, unemployed, elderly, vulnerable and disabled members of our com- munity. The trustees of the organisation meet regularly to plan its affairs. Duties are executed by one full time member of staff, two part-time staff and volunteers. All workers are fluent in both the Bosnian and English, written and spoken language. Main aims of the BH UK Network include improving the quality of life for over 10,000 Bosnian refugees living in the United Kingdom, who moved over amidst the Balkan Wars. This includes a population who are physically and psychologically scarred as a result of the war and many of whom are in need of Lon-term on-going and consistent care. Their biggest barrier to accessing this care is their lack of knowledge of the English language, which is where our organisation plays a vital role. The centre caters for these needs, in addition to providing social support and regular community- based activities at the Bosnia House in Birmingham. The Bosnia House is accessible to all at most times dur- The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the BH UK Network is a well-known event amongst Bosni- ans. It was held in January 2021, via zoom app due covid-19 pandemic rules, and joined by H.E.Vanja FIlipovic and representatives of Bosnian associations from Derby, Birmingham, Cov- entry, Hertfordshire, BH Advisory Centre London, Victoria London and the Women’s Association from Coventry and members of the Bosnian Centre for Advice from London. This year we had the great honour that our Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina based in London, His Excellency Vanja Filipovic joined Statehood day and Independence Day online cel- ebrations in November 2020 and March 2021 with members of Bosnian Presidency and other distinguished participants. COVID-19 has not stopped us working and helping our community members, especially vulner- able people who needed our help the most through this pandemic. Although Bosnia House had to restrict visits due Covid-19, the staff continued to work from the office, providing all necessary support by offering phone appointments, outreach support and one to one appointments where needed. **Annual Report 2020-2021** 5 our newest services and activities. Our community members had been informed about the latest measures from the British Govern- ment through the website, fb and twitter, and our official newsletter. We kept reminding Bosnians about importance of the regular testing and vaccinations. The bulk of masks and gloves had been posted to our members throughout the UK. Also, we kept sharing information with the members of the Bosnian community in the UK, about the newest information in Bosnia such as information for pensioners. BH UK Network organised online meeting with representatives of the emigration sector of the Ministry of human rights and refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, trying to update them with We published several appeals on our social media, trying to contribute individuals and charity or- ganisation during these difficult months, such as supporting children without parental care SOS children’s Villages BiH ; collecting food donations in Bosnia House as part of the Feed Birming- ham project etc. Some of the highlight activities over the reporting period are: • Online celebrations of Independence Day and Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina; • Cooperation with Remembering Srebrenica on the UK commemoration of the 25th an- niversary of the Srebrenica genocide, inviting the members of our community to share their stories and experiences as refugees and survivors of the war and 6 **Annual Report 2020-2021** genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina; chester providing various activities during coronavirus pandemic and marking the 20th anniversary of Bosnia supplementary school; Birmingham Bosnia and Herzegovina Association secured new laptops for supplementary school; BHCA Coventry gifting New Year’s presents; - Providing outreach support for our housebound members of our community in West Midlands; - Interview with H.E.Vanja FIlipovic about impact of Brexit on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bosnian community in the UK - Online meeting with Mr Martin Vickers, MP, UK trade envoy for the Western Balkan - Commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day 2021 - Promoting art created by Salma Zulfiqar and women refugees in Bosnia House - Commencing the project helping Syrian refugees in Birmingham, funded by Birmingham City Council - Marking the worlds teacher’s day - Promoting books “ The Cat I never named” and “The Balkan journey” • Promoting and supporting achievements of Network member organisations in the UK such as : BH Coventry Association officially registered as a charity; 25 years of successful work of the Bosnian Association in Derby; Bosnia and Herzegovina Community Association in Hertford- shire Celebrating 25 years ; Bosnia and Herzegovina Advisory centre in London providing sup- port to wider community during Covid 19; Bosnian school and society Man- - Art exhibition in Bosnia House “ Youth rules lockdown 2021” West Midlands project funded by Big Lottery Fund was set up as planned and brings positive change in the lives of Bosnians and Herzegovinians in the UK. There are 2 staff members who are available 24/7 and offer free, independent services. We set up regu- **Annual Report 2020-2021** 7 lar weekly activities including 35 hours/week of professional support to address our beneficiaries’ needs. These activities en- courage more isolated people to come along to our events. We serve those most in need, those without family, friends or funds, those who cannot care for themselves especially with their lack of English language. We set up outreach service for elderly and/or disabled members of our community that are housebound in Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Coventry; We have out of hours telephone that our outreach worker holds, so that our clients can access it 24 hours for any support; In last year 41 elderly and disabled clients accessed that number; They rung in regards to their hospital appointments, their medication, transport, welfare benefits, their rent; Our outreach worker supported with 17 volunteers provided support to housebound older members of our community; Regular drop in activities organised in St.Peters centre in Coventry were disrupted by Covid19; We are happy that we managed to reach the Roma community in Birmingham and Coventry helping them with educational, social and immigration issues; Over the reporting period we had to postpone several social events but hoping to start organising them as soon as lockdown restrictions stop; All above activities were set up and delivered with grate con- tributions from our volunteers that were recruited from our community and majority of them are service users. There are a number of very useful lessons that we learned through the project that could be help- ful to any organisation that have an interest in helping members of our society; We are proud that we managed to organise so many activities including social gatherings, networking, and peer group activities with grate commitment from our staff and volunteers. During the reporting period, we kept our members informed by regularly updating our fb and website as well as regular tele- phone contact. We have learned a lot about running our own premises and services by using loc- al community input, trying and testing new activities and making better use of our volunteers and available resources. We share our experience with local regional and national organisations that help us to deliver planned activities, such as community organisations in the region, voluntary councils, NHS, Victim support. We are now in position to help not just to our community, but other refugee groups. For example, as part of our Syrian project we run Syrian school that is attended by 120 children and have over 30 children on waiting list. We employed two extra staff funded by Birmingham City Council who are doing their best to offer and provide support and help the Syrian refugees. BH UK Network wants to help Syrian refugees in Birmingham and learning from our experience. Activities for young people were run at weekends. This gives them opportunity share experience, socialise and speak their mother tongue language. Some of them act as unregistered carers as they look after older family members; We provided counselling to 42 carers in language and cul- turally appropriate manners. They are carers within families who help disabled and in poor health members of the family who do not speak English. ; 42 Carers and 121 young people benefited from our activities including social activities, peer group support, trips, indoor sports... The main priority over the coming period is to secure further funding to continue providing support to the most vulnerable members of the society and improving facilities in Bosnia House that will enable us to provide much needed services for the benefit of our community. I look forward to our continued collaboration.
