FRENCH AFIUCAN WELFARE ASSOCIATION (FAWA) Charity Regi%1•00 Number. 1103174 DIRECTOR'S REPORT It is my pleasure to present the highlights of the operations or FA WA during the 12 months under review. As the Secretsry has state& the 2020121 financial y&v has been one of the MO challenging for the organisation, &s indeed for most other voluntary sector organisation working with communitie5 in the UK. In the face of the ¢tllenge$ FKised by Covid-19. we had to think hariL and change the way we deliver our work. When the pandemic broke. the government put in place Stringent Tneasures aiTned at controlling the spread of the virus and ensuring those who are infected get iesied. The IkdOw had a direci impa¢t on the community we work with. Ln the first place, we had io shut our tw'o offices, as staff, volunieas, and service users self-isolaled. As a sU]i, SOTnc of the services we used to provide could not be delivered in ihe wa), Ihey u%d to be dcliv¢rcd. Secondly, group a¢tiviti¢s could not d¢liv¢r¢iL as wjder lockdown rulcs, FKopl¢ w¢r¢ not a]low¢d to congyegate. Several of our seryice users either lo their job, or had considerdbly rgjuced working hours. which impa¢t¢d on their wage5. Financial hardship Etcame a major problem that r¢port¢d to us. Many service users. particularly those with children, had difficulty buying food. others fell Eehind with rent or utility bill& and debts grew. The pandemic also clairn¢d several li5 from our community.. Unlike in prc-pandemic lim¢s, whereby anv death in the community attrdcted a hug¢ response from fri¢nd& r¢lativ¢s and larg¢ nuMr of mourner& bereaved families had lo handle the loss of their loved ones alone. wilh the burial reswicied to a handful of mourners. The restrictions meant bereaved famili¢s did noi g¢1 Sufficient level of moTai and maleria] supp)rt the hour of need. In lighi of all these fac the TnLStees and Management of FAWA put in place a strategy for supporting the communiry, io ameliorate the serious effects impact of the l(Kkdown. Integral to the rntegy was our desire to infom and eTnpower people so ihey tske me&sures io protect ihemselves and their loved ortes against Covid-19 infe¢rion. To ensure we were abl¢ to implement this str4tw. we implemented a fundraising plan that involved putting grant applications to fidIng trStS and l(xai authorities. I'm pleased io say that this fimdraising effort mel with a reasonable degree of success. We were able to rdise funds for a number of progrdmme& in the process increasing our income for the 2020121 year froTn £30,781 to £208.930. With the funding received. we were able to deliver a wide rdnge of support services to it]vidual5 and members from our community. These include online advice and guidance. sUPtK)rt with accessing elfare paJment¥ help with fo(d suppli bereavemeni supporL collecting and deliveTing medi(al presttiptions, and online skills training. I would like to end my presentstion by regystering my sincere thanks to the Chairnian, Treasurer, 8JMI all memkrs of the Managemeni Commiiiee whose insighi sUprt and en¢04ryem¢nt enabled to out in competitive grani proposa]s and made it p)&sible for LLS to substsillIY incre&se our financi resources.

FRENCH AFRICAN WELFARE ASSOCIATION IFAWA} Charity Regi$trntion Number: 1103174 OVERVIEW OF AcfIvITIES IN 2020ni The Coronavir pandemic coniinued to affect the lives and livelihwd of of our members and servi¢es, just as it did in previous 2019r20. It's not Surprisi therefore, that the greater majority of our aclivilies wer¢ gtrdred towards offering relief and prnctical suppon to service users. The pandemic also brought us Closer into working lationships with stakeholders sh as hospitsls. GP praclices. Social Seryices. fo banL and fellow grdS5fiM)ts community organisatioJLS. The lockdown had the following iM¢t on our comtllvnity: Fear and confusion LDSS of jobs LKJSS of income Sickness, and some deaths Mental and behavioural problems Loneliness and isolatiotL Caught up in the midst of all these cha]lenges, many people. young and ol¢1 women and meo came to FA WA for help. Most service users needed practica] h¢lp and supporL others wanted advice on what to do in order to resolve problems. The Management of FA WA thus began seriously io look for help with addressing the many challenges fa¢ing th¢ ¢ommunity. It's a testimony of our hard work and dedicalion that were able to secure financia] support and technical resources ihat e[bled us to do just that. National Lottery Community Fund: The partdemi¢ impacied not just individua15 and groups from our communilies, li also h&5 serious impact on the operations of Third Sector organisations working with the communilies. tD¢k-downs restricted movement for and volunteers. ¢lients could not ¢ome io our two office5 for fa¢¢-tO-face help and support. and home-visits ere rendered diffi¢ulty'. The UK govemmenl Priorities support for Third Sector organisalions as part of a bid to ensure ]Kople continued receiving much need support durtng the pandemic. We were successful in gettin¥ a grani from the Nationai Lottery Fund whi¢h went iowards re£ruitin& trainin& and orienMing a team of dedicated project workers. Th¢ ieam workers were instrumental in identifjing the support needs of the community during the pandemic" the assessed needs were then malch¢d with availabiliry of relief items such as griKeries or medical pre5cfipiions. The team were equipped with Covid-19 secure work meth(MJs and sent oui io engage with benefi¢iaries either through socia]Iy-distance meeiings or via Z(yom and other gxial media platfornLS such as WhaisApp. FaceEKM)k or SMS t¢xts.In particular, we protnotcd th¢ communiry's acces5 and participation in the Test and Tra¢e progrdmme, which ensured that all those who tested positive for Covid-19 received the righi level of supwrt and follow up services, besides helping to proteth all their family members. LKbndon Community Response: Tst for Lottdoll graDts: W¢ applied for and were granted 2 grams by TnLSt for London which were applied towards providing Much- needed r¢li¢f to the Black and Asian Tninority ethnic (BAME) communities in tnndon. The grants made a real and lasting change in living conditions of beneficiarie& tArticularly in r¢$¢1 of f(Kxl relief, help with collecting medications a time wh¢n physi¢al movement w&$ severely restrained during lockdowns. The project tearn secured groceries from fith relief agencies and dislribute it io needy hoSeholds. thus ensuring families did not go wiihoui food. Beneficiaries in financial hardship were SUPrted to attess the right level of staT¢ SUPW)rt. especially around housing, access to emergency loans, and Universal Credit. The grdnts also made il w&sibl¢ for io reach out to Etneficiaries who facsj serious lon¢liness and isolation.
FRENCH AFRICAN WELFARE ASSOCIATiof {FAWA) Cbarity Regislrntion Number. 1103174 Through Zoom, we provided bline information alx)ut Covid. social distance, face mask. including how io reduce exposure lo it, and what to do in the event ora ix)siiive Covid test. We believe ihat. arni¢>J with the InfomtiOn and widan¢e, many beneficiaries We able io avoid getting Infect¢ while those who lest FK>Sitiv¢ made infonned decisio% about managing the dise in such challenging circumstances. Lod0 commubity Foundation: The year under review w&s a time of great confits10 disinforn)ation and confusion within the community. People were exwsed to conflicting informalion at) Covid-19. lis origin. infcrtion rothes, whether or nol to get the vaccine et¢. .Th¢ net effect of the disjoinied infoTTnation hindered access to viia] Covid-19 services such as vaccination; il also led to Ftople I1 properly following government guidelin¢s su¢h as social4listancing wearing face masks. and regular washing of hands. Through esthblished n¢iworks as well electronic platfornls, we gen¢rat¢d and dissetninated accurdte inforniation about Covid-19 and promoted takevup of vinatiOn as well &$ testing services. Ani-Tribalism Movement {ATM): Bereavcmcnt support: The Black cotntnunity has always been very resilient when il comcs to bereavements. This is because a bereavement is widely viewed being not only for the individual (a1]Y involved. bui for ihe entire communiry. In the Covid-19 period. many deaths IKcurred in the community. and &s a res[M)Se, we dcliver¢d a 'Resilience' proj¢ct that exiended much-need supwrt and eTnpaihy to those h0 losi loved ones. Using a grani offered by the Ani-TribalisJn Mov¢ment (ATM), we employed a ded]ed Bereavemeni Worker who visited bereaved famili¢s. helped organise funerals as well as application for Council services linked lo burials. Voice 4 Cbange gr4n¢: Health Conversatio In the midst of rampant misinfortnation abo Covid-19. it was itnportant thai the right infonnation was given io our client community so they could bener proiect against the virus. In view of this we secure funding from Voice 4 Change to run a series of Zoorn-based tsik sessions on Covid-19. The service was called 'Hea]th Conversations,. and il involved recruiting a bi-linguai doctor from the community who gav¢ the audience essential facts alx)ut the pandemic. Through this projea. tthple in the comtnunity had a Etter understanding of Covid. and many had a sitive mind-set about how lo CO with the pand¢. Londou borougb of LAmbetb.. Organisational Development and Sup[ We r¢¢eived a small grdnt from the London borough of tambeth to help with organisationa] and infrastru¢tur¢ development. The pandemic has had a serious impact on availability of staff and volunteers, so we needed to implement new ways of delivering services to the client communiry. The funding enabled to acquire equipment as used in r¢moÉe contact with service u5crs. Part of il weni towards officc atNJ infrastrijcture costs.
