FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2024

Report of the trustees

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives

The objective of CCCB is to provide charitable services that meet the social and welfare needs of people that need support especially the elderly and those who are disadvantaged due to language barriers, poor health or having to care for those who are ill or disabled. Although CCCB primary focus is on providing support services to the Chinese community, the Centre is open to all people and communities.

The Chinese Community Centre in Birmingham is a place where people come together to learn, share and offer opportunities for the wellbeing, social care and cultural enrichment of others. Our vision is to become a vibrant hub that contributes to the cultural, civic and business life of Birmingham and the West Midlands.

The Centre fulfills its charitable aims by providing a walk-in and telephone advice and advocacy service, interpretation services for clinics and hospital visits, health promotion events, carers support and a variety of education services and employment services. We also organise social, sports and cultural events, as well as promote the social welfare, health and education needs of the Chinese community to statutory and other voluntary service providers.

How our Activities deliver public benefit

1. Community Development

The Centre provides a range of culturally sensitive services to promote physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. We support individuals to be active which enables them to gain personal confidence and the community to flourish. We promote employability by providing opportunities for people to volunteer, learn practical skills including English language and gain qualifications. The Centre is supported by a large group of volunteers who support regular health & well-being activities, ad hoc special events and annual cultural events such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year.

We support communities by providing the following services

A) Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG) Service

In February of this year, CCC-B was awarded 12 month of funding for the development of its IAG service. This led to several significant advancements:

B) Health Development

The objectives of our health service are to reduce health inequalities by raising awareness and providing information enabling individuals to understand and manage their health conditions. Our health services are free as they are funded by Birmingham & Solihull Integrated Care Board (BSol ICB). We spent some time re-negotiating our service specification and received permission to provide the follow service:

users to book appointments, reading letters from GP and hospitals and confirm appointments on behalf of service users, as well as providing on-site interpretation for service users in GP surgeries, hospitals, treatment centres, dental surgeries and opticians.

We organised a women’s health focus group and a prostate cancer workshop.

We created a new role of Health Development Project Officer to enable us to deliver the new outputs. The officer came into post in early April.

Health Champions

We restarted the Monthly Health Forum after Covid lockdown was lifted and we were able to safely reopen. Attendance was too small to justify the resources needed to deliver monthly talks by external speakers. We negotiated with the ICB to replace the Monthly Health Forum with the 6 events mentioned above. In a separate development, we received a small grant to pilot a Health Champions project. In this project, we organised workshops for a small number of volunteer health champions who would disseminate health information and key messages to their family and friends networks. We invited speakers from health organisations to talk to the Health Champions. Our 8 Health Champions were able to reach a greater number of people directly and indirectly than we could with the Monthly Health Forum.

VIP Visit

The highlight of the year for the Health Development project was a visit to the centre by Patrick Vernon OBE, the Chair of Birmingham & Solihull ICB. Patrick’s visits are usually limited to 90 minutes but he spent 3 hours meeting service users, observing activities and talking to staff. We shared the community’s difficulties accessing NHS services and the poor quality of service especially around interpreters.

C) Carer Service

Supported by Forward Carers, our funding provider, Carer service has undergone several changes in its operations.

  1. Carers assessment has become the central task of our Carer service. CCC-B achieved the first ‘Unicorn’ status for assessment work amongst all providers. We actively conduct comprehensive needs assessments for those whose caring role has a significant impact on one or more aspects of their lives. Based on the assessment, the team formulates and adheres to a support plan that encompasses all relevant action points, and we review the outcomes after three months.

  2. Information dissemination is being given more strategic emphasis. We regularly upload bilingual service information through WeChat or WhatsApp groups to ensure that carers are informed of relevant services and new activities available in Birmingham.

  3. More partnership and networking with Carers services. One of the good outcomes is a well-attended dancing group. We have secured new funding to continue this activity.

  4. Wellbeing activities on Thursdays are diversified and attracted many more carers and continue to be led by volunteers, many of whom are carers themselves.

D) Elderly Services

Hong Que Day Service

Hong Que is a day opportunities service providing a safe space that meets the language and cultural needs of older Chinese citizens. Hong Que aims to support service users to live happy, healthy, independent lives in line with national and local strategic priorities. We have a yearly, weekly and daily schedule which includes meet & greet, sharing personal news and significant events, exercise including local walks, activities for mental stimulation such as art & craft and tabletop games. In previous years, we had tried organising other activities on Hong Que days to enable the elders to join in. Hong

Que told us they really enjoyed mixing with other groups in the centre; we therefore changed one of Hong Que days to ensure integration.

Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant monthly meal for the elderly

Chung Ying Cantonese Restaurant owner James Wong provides a free meal for 30 Chinese citizens aged 60+ on the first Thursday of each month. We provide the booking system for this benefit.

2. Active Well Being

The Centre runs a wide range activities designed to promote the wellbeing of the Chinese community. They include:

These are all volunteer-led activities or led by staff/external facilitators with volunteer support.

Our Winter’s Spring project ended in September 2023. We went through the process of applying for a grant under the replacement Prevention & Communities programme. Our application was successful, and we were able to recruit a new Project Officer/Volunteer Coordinator who started on the new Harvest Moon project in March 2024.

3. Social and Cultural Connections

We facilitate cultural connections with other communities by organising social and cultural events and participating in activities organised by other organisations in Birmingham and the West Midlands.

In August 2023, Wan Sheung Chinese Cultural Dance Group participated in the Birmingham Festival, a Commonwealth Games anniversary event.

In September we ran a ‘Chirish Tea Dance’ with Birmingham Irish Association. The event was part of the Mayor’s Weekend, funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority. The event was fun with Irish line dance, Salsa and R&B Step Dance. In February, we had a big double stall at Birmingham Lunar New Year Festival. We use the Lunar New Year stall to promote Chinese culture – it is the secondary objective after promoting CCC-B. Masterchef Professionals 2021 winner Dan Lee did a cooking demonstration at CCC-B. This was a Lunar New Year fundraiser, and was very well attended. In summer 2023 our catering kitchen was decommissioned by our landlord’s safety agent. Even though we were left without this vital resource, we managed to hold the annual sponsored Poon Choi – an event that the elderly look forward to.

In March, Wan Sheung participated in the St Patrick’s Day Parade which took place for the first time after lockdown was lifted.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Centre’s total income for 2023/24 was £257,654 (compared with £250,503 for 2022/23). The income from grants was £202,862 (about 79% of total income). We received donations of £1,311 (about 0.5% of total income). The rest were from other trading activities such as business services (19%), interpretation (0.1%) and room hire/events (0.8%).

The Centre’s total expenditure was £253,026, of which staff costs accounted for £165,068 (65%) and office rent/services for £40,656 (16%). The total funds carried forward on 31[st] March 2024 are £126,102 compared with £121,474 on 1[st] April 2023.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The Centre has been successful in maintaining its level of funding and services for 2022/23 through a difficult year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, for the longer-term, the viability of CCC-B is dependent on the Centre being able to raise revenue from a wide range of income streams. Where possible the Centre will continue to apply for grant funding and to work in partnership with others to tender for funded projects. The Centre will also be increasing its revenue from donations and paid services, as well as providing a greater range of business services. The Centre has set up a Community Interest Company (CIC) Wu Wei which is managing CWM 2020 initiative.
