We hope that this report gives a good flavour of the work of the organisation over the last year, an indication of the identified learning needs that translate into future work, and the significant contribution that the DEMRP and its staff / volunteers makes to building the capacity of the VCS in Doncaster and in the sub region, and ultimately improving the quality of life for local residents of Doncaster. We completed the financial year 2024/25 with a roll-on grant funding from the Community Fund. In addition to our core aims and objectives, we set out to achieve the following: 1. To extend our training programmes in order to attract a wider range of learners from local neighborhood individuals, groups and organisations 2. To ensure that our outreaching targeted more marginalised groups that have not taken up training and integration opportunities in the past and find ways of ensuring individual participants ’ skills’ needs and shortages were addressed 3. To actively seek new partnerships that could facilitate access to the resources necessary to help us to be more proactive in responding to the learning and employability skill needs of Doncaster and the surrounding area. 4. To apply different accreditation and progression routes that could be utilises on any of the courses that we run, so that learners have the wider choices of gaining qualification ‘round off’ their learning through a process of reflection that they then receive accreditation for. 5. To continue to develop and increase our capacity to work in partnership more effectively so as to increase the organisations sustainability DIRECTORS, REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL SI'ATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FOR DONCASTER ETHNIC MINORITY REGENERATION PARTNERSHIP (A company limited by guarantee) DONCASTER ETHNIC MINORITY REGENERATION PARTNERSHIP CONTENTS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Page Company Infonnation Report of the Directors Income and Expenditure Accountlstatement of Financial Activities Balance Sheet Noles to the Financial Statements Report of the Independent Examiner 10 The following pages are not part of the statutory financial statements: Detailed Income and Expenditure Account DONCASTER ETHNIC MINORITY REGENERATION PARTNERSHIP COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES: Z Rashid M Muniwar C Xenofontos COMPANY SECRETARY: Z Rashid REGISTERED OFFICE: 4-6 Thorne Road Doncaster DNI 2HS REGISTERED NUMBER: 04633099 ACCOUNTANTS: K L King Accountants Chartered Accountants 39 Kirkby Road Hemsworth Pontefract WF9 4BA CHARITY NUMBFR". 1092411 Page I DONCASTER ETHNIC MINORETY REGENERATION PARTNERSHIP REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The Directors present their Report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
