Trustees’ Annual Report

Year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and activities

Bangladeshi Parents and Carers Association was formed in 1998 and is a special voluntary organisation working with people with multiple disabilities. A Humble beginning with Bangladeshi families led project working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which now provides day care facilities for dependency user. Today BPCA has become one of the largest day care centre in the voluntary sector in Tower Hamlets, with second day care centre opened (2013) in Newham.

Our social care activities continue to make BPCA a vibrant, meaningful and fun-filled day centre where our service users have shown great progression in their personal development. The comments from users illustrate positive outcomes that our work produces and there can be no greater reward for our staff and partners than knowing that we are helping to improve people’s lives. Activities such as green fingers – Horticulture has helped users to learn more about plants growing process from seeds.

The objects of the Charity is the provision of day care centre or centres for the relief of people with disabilities over the age of 18 living in London. Particularly, not limited to any ethnicity or background, by the provision of day care, homecare and/or outreach in the community, and by the provision of advice and assistance to their parents and carers.

Aim:

BPCA aim to provide culturally appropriate day care service for people with Learning, Physical and Sensory disabilities along with a variety of educational, social and leisure activities.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Project Update and Plan for Future:

The charity is on a spot purchase arrangement with Tower Hamlets, Newham and Hackney council. Some services are paid directly by the local authority and others are paid through direct payment and personal budgets, which are managed either by their main carer or by brokerage. These changes have an effect on the BPCA income, as BPCA is not get paid if service users do not attend the service.

Project Update:

BPCA has two day care centre, one in Tower Hamlets Day centre called Opal Support Hub , and the second one in Newham called Sapphire Support Hub. Sapphire Support Hub is now based at a purpose built premises for adults with multiple disabilities in Newham.

The charity survived through a tough time during and after COVID. During lockdown, we delivered activities virtually and outreach in the community to support users from isolation, loneliness and

respite for the families. BPCA was extremely lucky to receive massive donation from of donation of 50 laptops and iPads from “Bute House Preparatory School for Girls, which enabled us to continue the activities virtually with our users during lockdown. IPad, laptops and activities props were dropped off at services users home and where needed internet connections we were able to purchase 4G Modems thanks to funding so users who did not have any internet at home were able to participate and overcome digital exclusion. Users participated Drama and Circus sessions with Ghyama Arts and Spare Tyres and did performances, which helped them overcome social barriers and built their self-confidence. Service users now do not hesitate and feel very confident in public. Staff and service users learnt new ways of working, participating and connecting with the wider community.

LBTH shared videos of BPCA service users participating virtually in drama and circus with Ghyama Arts and posted in their internal Newsletter highlighting BPCA as good and innovative practice for day centre during lockdown.

Port Cabin was refurbished and turned into COVID testing centre for staff when we reopened after lockdown.

Future Plan:

BPCA is increasing members through promotion and working in partnership with local organisations, educators and other charities. BPCA will also seek other sources of funding for the projects, which will strengthen the organisation to fulfil its purpose.

Partnership and collaboration

BPCA and SMH in partnership secure funding for Ghyama Arts Project (partnership) from City Bridge funding £100,000 over 3 years. As 3 years is coming to end, we are now seeking further funding to continue the project.

Future plans securing further funding

We are able to and will apply for 2 years continuation funding from City Bridge to start in Sept 23. We have already been prepping for this, have been talking to City Bridge and we will submit this in January. There is a strong chance we will be successful.

Financial review

A. Going Concern:

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustee have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they

BANGLADESHI PARENTS AND CARERS ASSOCIATION

(COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

Trustees’ Annual Report

Year ended 31 March 2022

continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statement. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policy.

B. Reserves policy:

The board of Trustees has examined the charity's reserves in the light of the main risk of the Charity. It has established a policy whereby unrestricted fund not committed or invested in fixed assets held by the Charity should be at least three months of expenditure (estimates at 170,000). This acknowledge the financial risk and contractual obligation associated with the employment of staff and contractual requirements relating to premises and equipment.

C. Financial Summary:

BPCA's income mainly has come from three neighbouring borough, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Hackney. We wish to express our gratitude to those who have given us their support and hope that this will continue and grow in the coming years. As is the case for most voluntary sector organisations, our Charity seeks funding in the context of limited resources being available locally and nationally, with most funding being time-limited and frequently not guaranteed from year to year.
