I want to congratulate you on the performance of the last year and the marvellous work and contribution that the organisation has given to the wider Community. As an organisation we are pleased to welcome the new members to the Board and I know the organisation will benefit from the contribution that will come from them in the future, and I am sure that Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation will be able to achieve the plans and objectives to be able to deliver the best services to its service users and the wider community. We have seen the organisation grown in strength and delivery to the community and Service users and the credit must go to the staff and managers at the organisation. Therefore, in my role as Chair I am delighted to be able to work not only with the Board of trustees, but also with the Chief Executive Officer, Patricia Johnson, Sandwell Council, Councillors and the staff at the Kummba Centre to be able to deliver the plans for the organisation. I know that the future is in an uncertain place, as we see the pressure that has been placed on our society in terms of increase in all areas of life, but I am confident that the organisation is in a good place and will be able to overcome the difficulty that this time has posed. We will move forward together, plan together, and deliver together, as an organisation our focus is on delivering to our service users and wider community, and I believe that if we remain focused on our objectives we will achieve this. ## **BISHOP DONALD WILLIAMS** Chairperson **01** ## **Chief Executive Officer Report** The year commenced with the usual rigor and energy employed to identify funding to support new service development and funding to support the core functions and operations within the charity. Working through the pandemic and adapting our delivery models had served us well since March 2020 and this method of implementing a flexible approach benefitted the people who use our services greatly. It is important to note that this could not be done without the commitment of our growing paid and unpaid staff team and for this I thank them for operating fully within an uncertain and at times during the pandemic scary external environment during the pandemic . ## Strategic Developments ## **Llyods Bank Foundation** The covid-19 pandemic has been challenging in many ways. Like many other organisations we were required to implement a raft of changes designed to support the continuation of our service delivery. Many of these challenges concerned upgrades to our IT capabilities. This came at a huge cost to us, and our funds were depleted as a result. The pressure to increase our core funds was ever present and we managed to successfully secure a grant from Lloyds Bank Foundation over two years. Recognition of our work was received from the grants manager and his chief executive officer. ## From Struggle to Freedom We commenced our programme of events for Black History month in October 2021. This formed a series of Black History Seminars the final one of which is yet to take place. The seminars sit under our strapline of ‘From Struggle to Freedom’. The evening seminars have been well received and created much discussion. **Struggle to Freedom Seminar taking place at Kuumba Centre** **02** ## Nicola Richards MP For West Bromwich East We were approached by Nicola Richards MP for West Bromwich East to ascertain if we needed any support from her and her team. Nicola had got to know us during the early stages of the pandemic, and she came to visit us at the Kuumba centre. This led to Nicola speaking to Mat Hancock who was the then Health Secretary about our work in the House of Commons. Since then, Nicola has delivered a surgery at the centre to support the people who use our services. The surgery was welcomed and carried out safely. It would be remiss of me to not mention Harry Lofthouse, a caseworker from Nicolas’s office. Harry has been a huge support to us dealing with some specific issues on our behalf. Their support for us has endured the last couple of years and we have benefitted much from their efforts. ## Independent Income Our annual strategic development Planning Day 2019 prior to the onset of the covid-19 pandemic focused on income generation.It was agreed that planning should commence to develop a trading arm of the charity. This would serve to add a independent income stream to our revenue. The covid-19 pandemic slowed our progress but in 2021 we were able to return to our plans which commenced with an application to the Social Investment Business for a grant to provide business planning support and additional hours for the Business Development Manager to increase his hours to support a greater focus on developing the trading arm. The application to the Social Investment Business’ Enterprise Development Programme (EDP) was successful and we are working through that programme now. The Foundation for Social Improvement provided the business planning support and the EDP provided peer support, finance support and regular up-date meetings with the grant officer. The grant officer is part of the Association of Mental Health Providers and our charity have now become members. The trading element of our charity is underway, and I will be able to report more fully next year. **03** ## Governance Being part of the EDP meant that we received professional advice pertaining to areas of development that would support the sustainability of a trading arm. One of these areas was to augment the board of trustees as our board was small. The Lloyds Bank Foundation have an initiative where charities can advertise their trustee recruitment adverts and Lloyds Bank Foundation would match them to the Lloyds Banking Group employees who were looking for Trustee positions. Through this initiative we recruited Richard McDonald who had finance, marketing, and mortgage experience. He was a good fit for us, and he is an active contributor to board activities. We were on a roll, and we subsequently recruited Bobby Pujeh who is a senior lecturer from Wolverhampton University and who has a nursing background. Since taking up his position as Trustee Bobby has enabled us to widen our role in the student placement programme with the university which will allow us to increase the level of prevention work, we do with the people who use our services. ## Kickstart Initiative We continue to be members of Communities in Sync (CIS) which is a local consortium that is comprised of local charities/enterprises who work together to deliver a range of health and wellbeing services. The governments chancellor announced the Kickstart scheme to support to increase the employment opportunities for young people.Had we not been members of CIS we would not have been able to benefit from the chancellor’s scheme. This demonstrates the importance of working as part of a consortia for small charities like SACMHF. We recruited and supported two Kickstart employees for funded period. Their work was outstanding, and we were delighted to be able to participate in this opportunity. **04** ## A snapshot of beneficiary outcomes Our work means nothing if we cannot report on the achievements of our beneficiaries. This year will represent the first year we will report fully on our impact. This report will be published later this year. However, the outcomes below are designed to show what people can achieve with robust culturally sensitive mental health support. ## CASE STUDY 1 Case1 (C1)is a young lady who was referred to the service to receive support to reduce her social isolation and better manage her mental health. C1 was lacking stability in her life and had little social support. During her time with Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation, she has secured a place at her local college to study Paramedic Science, she has settled into a new home and maintained positive mental health and wellbeing, even sharing this with other services users by holding her own mindfulness session. ## CASE STUDY 2 Case 2 (C2) is a 31 year old male of African descendant. He spent most of his time living in residential supported accommodation. He needed social interaction and activities during his day because he would not leave the building unescorted. In his early days when he got his flat, staff had to meet him at his home. With time and patience staff encouraged C2 to go to the local shops and then later to attend a gym. C2 became more independent and started visiting other places; He became more confident in visiting Kuumba on his own and other local venues. As his confidence improved, he started doing several courses; SIA (security), First Aid, that lead him to start work at various events; Door supervision, G9 summit and football matches. C2 has started work as a carer and has plans to start his own cleaning services in the future. **05** ## Case study 3 Case 3 (C3) is a young black British born male - who after losing his grandmother became very withdrawn and started to isolate himself. He was referred to the Kuumba Centre by his mother. Staff rang and spoke to C3 about his wellbeing and encouraged him to pursue his future in education. After a short period of time C3 applied to university and started working part-time. Staff keep in touch with him fortnightly and support him on his life's journey into university. C3 still receives wellbeing calls from staff and welcomes the support. ## CASE STUDy 4 Case 4 (C4) is a mature female aged 68 year old who is a Black British Caribbean who has mobility issues and has been using the Kuumba for several years. C4 has been involved with different activities over the years, attending, holidays abroad, day trips, cultural activities, Ujima and various workshops within the centre. C4 has been an advocate for the Kuumba, attending seminars outside of Sandwell. Recently she attended a couple of workshops by the organisation “POhWER” (advocacy), where she made a good impression with them. They asked her if she would consider applying for a post as a volunteer. Case 3 applied for the post with support from the Kuumba Centre and was asked to attend a 2nd interview and passed. “POhWER” offered her the post and supported her into the role. We are following a new trajectory where we work towards a mixed income economy where independent income is significantly increased becomes a reality. This has and will continue to warrant a steady focus and diligent approach to our ongoing operations and strategic flow. The external environment has shown that inequality and systemic racism has been allowed to co-exist and as a result Black communities report a tendency to have poorer experience and outcomes than their peers across a range of sectors. There continues to be a need for our culturally responsive mental health services, and we will endeavour to raise awareness in those who fail to acknowledge why we exist. Our key focus is the sustainability of our charity enriched by the participation of those who use our services. ## Pat Johnson Chief Executive Officer **06** ## **Health & Wellbeing Service Manager's Report** ## **Wellbeing & Recovery Team (Outreach)** The Outreach service aims to encourage well-being and recovery by supporting individuals to regain their independence, confidence and improve their mental health and well-being. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the Outreach Team had to change the way they supported individuals, due to government restrictions regarding social distancing. Outreach Support changed from one to one, face to face to virtual support via Zoom and telephone contact. ## **Post Pandemic** Having survived the pandemic Kuumba has come out the other side fighting fit and ready to continue to provide bespoke support to all who access our service. Outreach is now back to how it was prior to the pandemic, our outreach service aims to encourage well-being and recovery by supporting individuals to regain their independence, confidence and improve their mental health and well-being. This is achieved by a Well-being & Recovery Worker’s support, this is achieved by weekly meet ups at a place where the individual feels safe, initial meet up to write a recovery plan that will focus on areas of improvement or change in order to achieve set goals. ## **Caring for Carers (Bereavement Support)** Caring for Carers Bereavement support is a project covering the Birmingham area that is delivered in partnership with 4 other organiSations who are members of Communities In Sync. These are: Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation West Bromwich African Caribbean Resource Centre Crossroad Care Ideal for All **07** The project supports people through loss and bereavement by providing one to one wellbeing support tailored to individual need. The project also connects Carers to other Carers through social media groups. Wellbeing support can also be accessed through various activities such as a Healing Garden where bereaved Carers can enjoy the plants and tranquility of the garden. The Memory through an object activity allows clients to remember their loved one’s memories through an object such as a photograph, or something that holds sentimental value. _**"Wellbeing support can also be accessed through various activities such as a Healing Garden where bereaved Carers can enjoy the plants and tranquility of the garden.."**_ ## **Winter Pressure - Mental Health Partnership** This service is designed to assist Sandwell residents who require support with their mental health needs, which may include people who are currently on a waiting list for support from the Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Once a referral has been received, we will complete the triage process which will determine which service or combination of services a person will be referred to. The community based mental health support service will be delivered by a partnership of 7 CIS member organisations which are listed in the graph to the right. Every individual referred to the service will be offered a range of bespoke service which maximises the likelihood of continuous engagement throughout the duration of our intervention and improved mental health and wellbeing. **08** ## **UJIMA** UJIMA means ‘collective work and responsibility’ in Swahili. Due to the pandemic UJIMA was on hold because of government restrictions, Ujima is now back up and running. UJIMA is a User-led service which aims to use volunteering, peer support and mentoring to deliver community meet ups and other social activity to help recovery and encourage independence, that receives some support from the staff team at the Kuumba Centre. ## **Ujima’s activities include:** Working with Kuumba Staff to help develop new and existing services. Organising social activities for us to enjoy. . Involvement in focus groups and consultations about Health & Social Care Services we use. Community meet ups to support each other, e.g a breakfast club. . **"THIS IS A GREAT SERVICE THAT ENABLES US TO BOND AND SOCIALISE TOGETHER** We have a user forum meeting once a month for all members to discuss activities and the work we want to be involved in. The group leaders meet weekly to work in smaller groups with members who have volunteered to work on specific areas e.g monthly activity schedule. UJIMA UJIMA UJIMA **09** ## **Tech-Connect (Digital Inclusion Support)** This project was designed to support service users and carers to become less socially isolated. Initially the project was led by staff but now a service user has become a volunteer and has taken over the coordination of the project as they have become more cognisant with the project and have participated and completed training. **"THIS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT SERVICE USERS AND CARERS TO BECOME LESS SOCIALLY ISOLATED "** ## **Tech-Connect Peer Support Hub** Tech-connect Peer Support Hub is coordinated by a Service User/Volunteer who has completed the training and is able to facilitate the Peer Support Hub following guidance/direction from SACMHF and will be recruited to a part time Project Leader post.The Tech-connect Peer Support Hub runs once a week, every Wednesday, this will help to eliminate social isolation. Dawn Reid Health & Wellbeing Service Manager **10** ## **Office & Finance Manager's Report** Historically, Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation (SACMHF) has delivered bespoke mental health services to Black African & Caribbean people but not exclusively for more than 2 decades. We have a rich history of supporting people who use services (PWUS) to manage their mental health, promote recovery to live a fulfilled independent life. ## **Financial Overview** I am excited to report on our journey over the last 12 months. The staff compliment has grown, this is down to 2 successful 5-year grants from The Oak Foundation, the first grant secured in the latter part of the last financial year and the other in the second quarter of this financial year. 3 posts have been created; a brief overview of the new roles is listed below: Updates of these new initiatives will be included in this report. **11** Income & Expenditure GRANTS Sandwell MBC Sandwell MBC prior year reclassificalion Sandwell MBC IT National Lottery- Buildin8 Futures Henry Smith City of Birmingham National Lottery- Covid 19 response Oak Foundation Epic Probation Service Other income Client income 135,460 135.460 62,889 3,711 58.332 37,433 14.3751 29.001 64,000 24.019 2S,81XJ 16,312 9.667 92,125 15,(I 14.693 28,694 1,272 7.250 413,723 361,779 2,446 329 5,717 370,271 Fundraising Donations Sundry Income 413,723.

Most of the stored backups on hard drives and disks are now becoming a thing of the past. There are less risks of data being stolen or lost completely to fire. SACMHF has migrated to cloud software Office365. The benefits include: ## cyber security Along with advancements in technology cybercriminals are a continued threat to any business, stolen money or information can be devastating. We were advised by our IT consultant Officetek of the latest threats. SACMHF purchased a comprehensive cyber security package to mitigate against any potential security threat. ## summary Once again SACMHF has had a positive year maintaining stability and growth along with providing learning and work opportunities. Moreover, making Investments in digital technology and cyber security. SACMHF is working towards creating its own source of independent income, this will help with cashflow when grant funding schemes meet their timeline. This source of income can sustain bespoke culturally responsive services for the Black community providing continuity of care. ## Donna Campbell Office & Finance Manager **13** ## **Communications Officer Report** ## **Overview** Over the past year our online presence across digital platforms has grown significantly, (with a strong emphasis on social media). We have now introduced Instagram as an additional social media platform and we are now reaching out to the wider public with various vehicles of communication. The COVID19 Pandemic highlighted how SACMHF delivered services digitally and methods of communication to our service users had to advance to meet individual’s needs. During this period SACMHF held 32 virtual support groups – this reinforced the level of engagement online from our People Who Use Services (PWUS). As a result of this, SACMHF had to increase the use of social media and virtual support groups. These virtual support groups included Zoom meetings, Wellbeing checks (via phone calls), our PWUS received a total of 14,378 telephone support call minutes during this period, online surveys and consistent information being put out onto our website, text messages and social media channels. ## **Website** We have recently revamped our website which also plays a key role in communicating the work we carry out as an organisation, who we are and how stakeholders can reach us in terms of services we provide internally or for funding opportunities to explore what we do. Our new website aims to be more modernised, with a fresh look (in line with our branding style), more accessible, easy to navigate and ‘mobile friendly.’ We also have plans for our website to be more interactive with animation elements - in terms of the user experience. ## **SACMHF Mental Health Campaign** The launch of SACMHF’s first video campaign took place in November 2021, which concurred alongside International Stress Awareness Week. We promoted our campaign #LETITOUT on all social media platforms and had some great feedback. February we took our video campaign to the next level and it was shown as a 20 second advert on Birmingham Live TV reaching around approximately 25,000 people. You can watch our #LETITOUT campaign on the home page of our website. ## Suzanne Huynh Communications Officer ## **Our Social Media Platforms** **14** @sacmhf1 @KuumbaF @sacmhf ## **Wellbeing & Recovery Worker's Report** The past year has been an especially difficult one for the service users due to the changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. They had to deal with a big change in how their support was carried out and dealt very well with the transition. Outreach staff worked well as a team to ensure the inclusion of all service users regardless of digital capabilities and did well maintaining a positive sense of community and wellbeing. ## **Networking** One important part of the role of outreach worker is to network with and work alongside other organisations so the service users receive a well-rounded support. Over the course of the year, many organisations had to change the way they worked, and a lot of our networking was carried out virtually. As we are heading towards the end of the pandemic, we are glad to be able to do this in-house again. It means the service users have the opportunity to find out what resources are available in their local area and meet the people providing them. This year we have carried out networking in the form of workshops, presentations, and events. Pohwer, Healthwatch, Sandwell Welfare Rights Team, Citizens Advice Bureau are just some of the organisations Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation has worked with to resolve queries and issues regarding mental health treatment, welfare benefits eligibility, housing, and finance issues and more recently, dealing with the costof-living crisis. The summer months are now upon us, and we have many events planned for our service users and the local community. Our events help to raise awareness, provide our service users with a sense of community, and help to reduce social isolation that is often the result of living with long term health conditions. **"THE SUMMER MONTHS ARE NOW UPON US, AND WE HAVE MANY EVENTS PLANNED FOR OUR SERVICE USERS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. . "** ## Terri Bonner Wellbeing & Recovery Worker **15** ## **Men's Wellbeing Worker Report** As we move into 2021 with the Covid-19 restrictions partly lifted, the Outreach service was able to book outreach appointments with PWUS, as many felt isolated and preferred face to face interaction. The Outreach service began working with the Probation Service and introducing their clients to the Men's Group providing them support with their mental health issues. The Men's group met up to plan activities in the community abiding to Governments guidelines. The Men's group has had a regular number of men attending the different activities, based within the Kuumba Centre and in the community. The Men have drawn up a schedule list of events and activities chosen by the group over a three-month period, depending on the weather. Each group member had chosen activities they would like to do. Later the group collated the lists into one, with the Men's group wellbeing walks as a fortnightly event. The Men's Group wellbeing Walk and Talk group visited local places and venues. These included: (see below locations) We are planning to visit Coventry to view the Two-Tone Museum (Ska music, Specials, The Beat) and the Transport Museum. Other activities include Bowling, visiting the Cinema, visiting Stratford Upon Avon plus attending a local football match – West Bromwich Albion. ## **"I THINK I WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF THE MEN'S GROUP BECAUSE IT IS VERY EFFIECIENT & BUILDS ME UP TO EXPERIENCE A BRIGHTER FUTURE "** ## Norman Nelson Men's Wellbeing Worker **16** ## **Kickstart Apprentice Joseph Hill** ## Intro On the 26th July 2021 I started an administration assistant role at the Kuumba Centre and immediately felt comfortable and supported by a friendly and helpful team. My role consists of multiple things ranging from paperwork to greeting service users, archiving to accounting, I enjoy the variety of work my role offers as well as the ability to work and liaise with everyone in the office. I must highlight again how friendly and helpful the team are. This is my first job, and I did not feel like I must hesitate to ask for assistance. I also feel I can be open and honest with my co-workers and managers creating a workplace environment that is extremely comfortable to be in Interview and getting the job: My interview day was extremely soon after I’d applied, just around 3 days after. This gave me confidence going in, feeling that SACMHF were very interested in what I had to offer. When I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and settled and while in the interview Donna (the Office and Finance Manager) was attentive and helped settle my nerves while also orchestrating the interview respectfully and professionally. I was informed that I’d gotten the role a few days later and started the week after that. ## time at kuumba During my induction I met the team and got a good idea of how things worked. As the first month went on, I started to feel it was going smoothly. I was handed more responsibilities and was able to advance complete my tasks. In my 3rd month I was given access to the business drive, showing me that management trusted me enough with such delicate and important data. As my role expanded, I felt very much at home within the organisation. My time here has given me confidence to move forward in the working world. I have been able to do more than I ever thought and feel comfortable doing it. The team are an amazing group of people to work with, all have their own story, and it has been great being able to work with everyone. From day one I felt accepted and have been able work at my pace and fulfill what has been requested of me. The management encourage me and deliver a great level of professionalism as well as a friendly, warm touch to how they go about things. **17** ## Skills Gained During my time at SACMHF I have gained many valuable skills, mainly telephone and archiving skills. I had never archived anything before, and my telephone skills were sorely lacking when I started but now, I feel extremely confident going forward. Other skills I have gained are, knowledge of Microsoft Excel, logging information, stock taking, booking, financing and minute taking. Financing is something I’d never thought I’d be into, but since I have started doing it, it has been a nice change to my more literature-based skill set. I like to see if I can gain as much experience and skills from an opportunity, so being given the ability to branch out of my usual skill set is something I have really enjoyed. I tend to the petty cash book and look at the expenditure every month. As for minute taking it leans into my media and literature background, this is possible because I can record the correct information into such a depth that is understandable and relevant. As well as these Admin skills I have also been able to flex my media muscles by helping the Communications and Campaigns Officer with projects. The main one being the promotional video that I helped pitch and create. I have worked on the company’s website posting a page about Hate Crime and how to report it allowing me to show what skills I had gained before starting the job. Finally, I have gained vital networking skills. I went to Dudley College on the 23rd September 2021 to represent SACMHF at Dudley College Student Union’s Freshers Fare. This was an amazing experience for me and one of the highlights of working here. As well as attending an event I also helped plan one with the rest of the team. We came together to organise the Cultural Well Being Festival for Black History Month 2021. _**"My time at Kuumba has been amazing and one of a kind. I can’t think of a better start for me on the job ladder."**_ ## conclusion To conclude, my time at SACMHF has been amazing and one of a kind. I can’t think of a better start for me on the job ladder. I’d like to thank all the staff and management for being so helpful, kind, and friendly. I just want to say thank you for the opportunity presented to me. **18** ## **The iMATTER Youth Service** An existing funder the Oak Foundation worked with us to look at gaps in service provision that we were finding in our external environment. At the time the work area that had increasing levels of unmet need was support for young people with mental health needs exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic and the aligned protracted lockdown and other measures. The constraints imposed on our movement was particularly evident in this group and we secured funding from the Oak Foundation to set up a service to offer targeted culturally responsive support for young people between the ages of 11 to 25 in the local Sandwell region. It was our aim to offer support to two local schools. Following a change of staff, the service was relaunched and is now known as the iMatter Project. Two local schools have been identified and the cohort of young people is growing to the point where we submitted a funding application to Henry Smith to augment the service with additional staff to make the service offer more robust. The outcomes data is very promising, and our focus will be managing the demand and co-producing the development of the service and embedding the voice of young people in our decision-making forums and tailoring our marketing to ensure that young people can see themselves in the services we offer. _**"IF everything was perfect YOU would never learn and YOU would never grow."**_ _**- Beyonce Knowles**_ **19** ## **Building Futures Servicesupporting Ex-offenders** The year commenced in earnest with new funding secured from Probation service. This funding was helpful in underpinning the work this service offered. The Probation service team were vociferous in working alongside us to help continue the achievement of successful outcomes from the people who use the service. In addition to this during the year we secured a short-term service to support ex-offenders who reside in Approved Premises. Despite the covid-19 restrictions the service coordinator was able to offer some face-to-face support and the delivery was augmented by online and telephone support. This blended nature of the support offered became a feature during the pandemic and this service benefitted from a flexible approach to delivery. The Building Futures service was originally funded solely by the National Community Lottery Fund. This reporting period represented the third and final year of the project delivery. The exit strategy was not to continue the service fully. Much work had been done to look at the continuing needs of this user group and our focus turned to the accommodation needs of this group of beneficiaries and others. This service came to an end in March 2022 but some of the learning from delivering this service would transition into the development of a housing offer. Watch this space! **"THE BUILDING FUTURES SERVICE WAS ORIGINALLY FUNDED SOLELY BY THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY LOTTERY FUND. "** **20** ## **Co-Production** The term Co-production refers to a way of working where we as service providers and service users work together to reach a collective outcome. The approach is value-driven and built on the principle that those who are affected by a service are best placed to help design it." We provide services and projects that are Co-Produced with our service users to ensure that the work we do is centered around the service users that we support, giving them the ability to shape our charity and our offer to them. Co-Production meetings at SACMHF are held quarterly, with a manager in attendance. The importance of Co-Production is that it gives all SACMHF’s service users a voice and involvement in the service that they use, we find it also gives the service user a sense of involvement and control. **"CO-PRODUCTION GIVES ALL SACMHF’S SERVICE USERS A VOICE AND INVOLVEMENT IN THE SERVICE THAT THEY USE, "** **21** 2021/22 Statistics Gender Age li *l*l******ft** *i******i*i*i Etkni¢ity Black Caribbtsn 8iackAfrka While& BLa¢k CaribbeaD OEh2r Etmlc Back8rowJnd5 01￿1 B1￿k Ba¢Wwds A$￿ts NVhlLe & BlackAfrKan Member Category Hospltaj Admissions 75 50 25 FWUS 22 ## **User Satisfaction Survey** ## **Some of the comments from people who use our services** **Allowed me the chance to spend time with people who understand me** **I'm honestly glad I found you guys - I feel content.

Norma Gardener was a trusted and much-loved member of the team. Although Norma worked part time Norma’s character meant that even on her days off, she would come to work complete pieces of work and her efforts never went unnoticed. Our charity has benefitted much from her contribution and locally Norma was known for her passion for supporting the wider Caribbean communities and she was intrinsic in the early development of West Bromwich African Caribbean Resource Centre. Norma’s passing has been a huge loss to the community and our charity. We miss her and will continue to do so. Norma has left a huge mark on our organization, and she has blazed a trail for us to follow and left a legacy of community work and volunteering underpinned by passion and a genuine desire to help others who need support. Rest in peace Norma, we will never forget you. **25** @sacmhf1 @sacmhf @KuumbaF Kuumba Centre, Boulton Road West Bromwich, West Midlands B70 6NWSACMHF 0121 525 1629 Info@sacmhf.co.uk www.sacmf.co.uk **Certificate Number 15992 ISO 9001** Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Annual Report and Financial Statements Year ended 31 March 2022 Charity number . 1082017 Company Number . 4004120 Feltons Chartered Accountants Birmingham B1 3JR Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation IA Company Limited by Guaranteel Report and financial statements Yèar ended 31 March 2022 Contents Page Reference and administrative details Report of the trustees Indpendenl auditor's report on the financial statemenls Slalemenl of financial activities incorporating income & expenditure account 13 Balance sheet 14 Cash flow statement 15 Notes forming part of the financial statements. incorporating Statement of accounling policies 16 Other notes lo the financial statements 19 The following page does not form part of the statutory financial statements: Detailed income and expenditure account 24 Sandwell African Caribbean Mentsl Health Foundation {A Company Limited by Guarantee) Reference and Administrative Details Chair Bishop D R Williams Chair Trustees R￿'d G S Brown R A McDonald El Musa Pujeh Mr N R￿rigUeS Ms M Wilson Treasurer (appointed 10 Maith 20221 laptK)inted 9 June 20221 Iresigned 17 January 20221 Vice Chatr Company secretary Patricsa Johnsc Key management personnel Patricia John51)n Donna Campbell Rebecca Gardnef Dawn Reid CEO Regislered office Kuumba Cenlre Boulton Road Wesl Bromwich West MKltands B70 6NW Charily number 1082017 Company registration number 4004120 Auditor Fellons 8 Sovereign Court 8 Graham Street Birmingham B1 3JR Baftkers Unily Trust Bank Nine 8rindley Place 4 002ells Souare Birmingham B1 2H8 Solicitors Kapasi 8 Co 1 st fl(MN, 17 Birmingham Streel Oldbury West MKJlands B69 4DT Page 1 Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Report of the Irustees Year ended 31 March 2022 Thè Trusteos prtrserit their report and the financial statomgnls ol the charity lor the year fjnded 31 Morch 2022.
