## Governing Document
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and was registered as a company on 9 May 2003 and obtained charitable status on 6 October 2003.
The directors have the power to admit any person or organisation to membership and have the power to withdraw membership in certain circumstances. Each member of the company is liable to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of the charity being wound up.
## Appointment of Directors and Trustees
The directors of the company, who are also ‘Trustees of the charity, are the members of the management committee and there are two categories of committee member: Ordinary members (elected by the company members at the general meeting) Nominee members (nominated by designated bodies)
Presently the constitution allows for between six and twelve ordinary members plus the chair. This arrangement may be varied by ordinary resolution of the members. The ordinary members normally serve for a term of three years. After serving four terms of three years they must retire but are eligible for re-election after a gap period of three years. Each year. one third of the ordinary members retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election provided they have not served for more than four terms consecutively.
We are actively seeking new members to join our management committee to increase skills and to help to develop the organisation. The nominee members of the Committce are not subject to re-election or retirement, but the nominating body may replace their nominees at will.
The Directors are normally appointed by the members at the Annual General Mectings. However, the Management Committee itself may appoint persons to fill vacancies or to add to their number (provided the total number does not exceed the maximum). At cach AGM. one third of the Directors retires by rotation, being the longest in office and is eligible for re-clection. Also, any additional members appointed by the Management Conmmittee during the year must stand for re-election. Other than a retiring trustee, the only people eligible for election as trustees are those either nominated by the Board or by a member giving not less than 14 and not more than 35 clear days’ notice of the intention to propose a person for appointment or re-appointment.

Our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly in a very challenging and high-risk environment, to cnsure that our communities received the help and support they desperately needed to case the pressure of food poverty and isolation, especially during the national lockdowns. We are thankful for al the financial support received from our funders, donors, and supporters.

## Weff) are here for you-Health| = &Wellbeing7 Minimising Social Isolation, Strengthening Our Community
We provide social action and activities that improve the health and wellbeing of residents. Our Wellbeing programmes help to minimise Social Isolation
We have continued to work in partnership with a number of organisations to improve the wellbeing of our community and increase the opportunities for local residents. This has included working with Age UK, Compassion foodbank, Restoration House, Dandelion, Royal Oak Community Centre and C-SAW.
One of our key wellbeing focus this year was to alleviate social isolation and to connect with hard-to-reach communities who do not usually engage in our wellbeing programmes. We organised and ran trips to Southport, Cultural food tasting, drumming classes, Cinema/Film days, music & quiz ete.
Many of the participants had not left their homes to socialise due to COVID concems and anxiety. As a result, many had become significantly isolated. so it was important that we offered activities that are relevant, desired and well organised to ensure Manchester Citizens got involved and felt safe. We had a range of ages from early 50’s to nearly 90 years old.
A great time was had by all with very positive feedback, including “Thank you for the great work you are doing. We had a wonderful time last night with everyone talking about it all the way home, agreeing it was the best night they had for years and something they will remember for years to come, can’t thank you enough, God Bless!”
The hope is that this is the catalyst for longer term impact in combating social isolation in communities with many participants stating that they would like to get more involved in connecting with others as a result of these engagements. The trips organised were to Southport, a Cultural Food Tasting Day, Community Information Day and African Drumming.

## Work and Skills Opportunities
Our voluntecring programme increases people’s ability to participate in the wider community.
We also help to increase people’s employability prospeets through our job club, training courses and volunteering opportunities.
Due to Covid restrictions, our pre-employment support was mainly delivered online this year. The department has revamped its offer to include online platforms allowing us to reach more people than ever to help them back into work,
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities at our centre, including administration, retail, catering, warehousing, fundraising, building and grounds maintenance.
We help people get back into employment through CV writing. job search support. training, skills development, apprenticeships and IT skills.
We worked with around 50 volunteers and supported 170 residents with pre-employment activities to become work ready and secure employment.
We arc also very pleased that we were able to work with the Job Centre through the Kickstart Programme to create six months paid work experience training for 4 young people who were not in employment, education. or training.
## Case study — Kickstart programme — KT
KT is a 22-year-old female who started with us in November as a kickstart trainee. She has worked in our community café alongside our head chef and volunteers providing and serving affordable, healthy food to the community. Prior to Tree ofLife, she had no previous work experience and has only been on short trial shifis for a few organisations. Since being with us she has learnt some valuable and transferrable skills such as food preparation, customer service skills, using a till, money handling, food hygiene, being part of a fast-paced team and improved communication. She said sometimes the customers can be demanding which has really improved her ability and confidence to manage random requests and complaints. She has taken to the work life here really well and said, ‘T love it here, all the people are really friendly, and the staff are accommodating to my needs as a person’.
When asked what she would like to do next, she replied that she would like to be employed here or move into education to study health and social care to hopefully support people with learning difficulties and that what she would take with her is an overall improved mental strength. Before working here she was quite shy and refrained from social interactions both professionally and personally but now feels like she can manage every social situation as Tree of life has improved her mental health and confidence through the guidance and teachings of staff menibers, volunteers and customers,

Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:
- ; sclect suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- ‘ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- . prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets ofthe company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
