REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
UCRA through several service offerings such as provision of information, advice, guidance on immigration, benefits, work skills, training and housing needs, employability training, traineeships and apprenticeships, now supports a wide variety of people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including: refugees, asylum seekers, unaccompanied minors, NEET, homeless, lone parents, and long-term unemployed with no/low skills; 95% of service users (SUs) are BAME, primarily from London's Somali, Kenyan, Tanzanian, Ugandan, Nigerian and Congolese communities; but also from London's Polish and Turkish communities; 85% of our SUs are women of African origin with minimal/no education and no qualifications; 25% have a mental health issue, physical disability, or long term sickness due to HIV/AIDS; many have ESOL needs (e.g., approximately 90% of our learners do not have English as their first language); and most have experienced long-term unemployment. These communities are also among the highest impacted by the current Covid pandemic - ONS statistics show that the age standardised mortality rate for black men is nearly 3 x that of white men, and that for black women is around 2.3 x that of white women. We are a community affected by homelessness, over-occupancy and poverty.
The organisation, which has built up a reputation for supporting the community is among the very few agencies accredited to provide regulated immigration casework by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner and the advisor has over 15 years working experience in immigration, national and asylum issues.
UCRA supports up to 500 learners/service users annually, all from our target group of unemployed/low skilled BAME; our high-quality delivery has earned us an excellent track record with a high success rate of 92% learning outcomes achieved.
As a community-led organization, we are part of the community we serve with "lived experiences" as refugees or asylum seekers. Our board comprises five people from the African community, three were service users and two volunteers prior to be being elected as Trustees. This brings in direct experience and understanding of the community needs. They also speak the same languages in addition to English which enables messages to cut through to the community faster. 95% Staff members providing services are from the African community with similar experiences as the service users the project is targeting.
Our participant-centred approach is based on our 35+ years' experience delivering high quality community provision, together with extensive research and feedback from service users/stakeholders.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
UCRA is a Pan-London charity whose vision is to act as the first point of contact that empowers and improves the quality of life for Black and Ethnic Minorities, including refugees, asylum seekers, NEET, and long term unemployed with no/low skills levels. Four drivers underpin this vision: confidence to participate, advocacy/representation, better health and improved quality of life.
The organisation is based in Tottenham, North London, with satellites in Croydon, Greenwich, Stratford and Barking. The services are centered around immigration casework, information, advice and support, and the delivery of training - Adult Learning, Traineeships, Multiply Numeracy and Apprenticeships in vocational and non-vocational courses including Child Care, Early Years, Digital Skills, Health and Social Care, Teaching Assistant, Customer Services, business administration, and functional skills in English, Maths and ESOL. Funding is accessed via contracts, tenders, and subcontracts. UCRA is firmly rooted in adult and community activities with a workforce that is passionate about making a difference to every client who accesses our services. IAG delivery is embedded across all aspects of the client journey. The strategic shift towards employability skills also ensures that IAG is core to helping service users become job-ready.
UCRA is a vibrant community organisation which has empowered many local and national talent, opening pathways into employment and further education by offering tailored courses and individual advice and guidance. Each year, we assist over 500 individuals in the community with multiple needs.
Special thanks to all our Prime Funding Partners that make our work a reality. Special gratitude go to the London Borough of Greenwich ACL team, GLLAB and Greater London Authority for the provision of funds, networking, capacity building through training of leaders, managers and resources.
Areas of Particular Strengths
The director and board of directors, through their ambitious vision for the Charity, have created an aspirational and safe environment; staff at all levels share and promote this demanding vision, leading to high expectations for all its students, staff and community.
Management provides outstanding support for all its students, particularly the vulnerable and those needing significant additional help such as refugees, asylum seekers, who have progressed into their roles as managers, UK practices being different from those of original countries.
At the very core of UCRA is a staff team, whose members are focused upon reaching out to motivate and support adults from disadvantaged circumstances and backgrounds including refugees and asylum seekers. All deliverers of the services are highly committed to equality and inclusion. Impartiality and personalization are deeply embedded, and professional integrity, values of dignity, respect and empowerment permeate all aspects of service delivery.
Information, Advice and Guidance
Our provision of high quality information, advice and guidance (IAG) is a particular strength, holding an IAG Matrix standard since 2004. Effective IAG has continued to ensure that learners and other service user needs are achieved successfully at an overall rate of 97.70% above the national average. Each individual will receive pre- and post-training IAG support from a Level 3 qualified Academic Progress Advisor. We regularly monitor and review progress and provide tailored IAG which is bespoke to that individual and their unique needs. Advisors are also expert in understanding the wider services available and can effectively signpost learners to a range of other health, wellbeing and learning services available to them locally.

UGANDA COMMUNITY RELIEF ASSOCIATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04304151)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
We know ex-offenders and those with specific learning disabilities or high needs face unique challenges and a range of factors (e.g. mental health/homelessness) can impact their learning experience and attainment. As such we know it's imperative to provide individualised IAG which is made possible by our holistic and person-centred approach to service delivery. Support staff are frequently successful in helping learners to remain on their courses.
Our team collaborates in this regard. Academic progress advisers and course teams work closely together to provide a range of very effective interventions such as study skills lessons and in-class support when learners fall behind with their work, or are having difficulty with academic concepts.
We offer functional skills at various levels (entry - Level 2) and ESOL. We have over 25 years of direct experience of successful delivery in Maths and English and are accredited with NCFE, City and Guilds and Trinity College London. We also have our own direct claim status with these awarding bodies.
Apprentices very much enjoy their studies and feel safe when they come to UCRA and in their work related activities. They respond positively to the good support staff provide to help them to develop their personal and career aspirations; their behaviour is good, both with their peers and staff.
Measures to quality assure and improve outcomes for students are thorough. Teachers benefit from a comprehensive lesson observation process that improves their teaching further. The arrangements to monitor the performance of teachers to improve teaching, learning and assessment are thorough, well established and very effective. Observation of teaching is further strengthened by external observers from London Borough of Greenwich ACL
As a key priority for continuing our work and improvements during 2021/22, we are required to identify the need to further consolidate learners' understanding of British values and the 'Prevent' program.
ESOL and other High Needs Support
The majority of our provision requires ESOL, as we work with groups with significant/multiple disadvantage, e.g. refugees, minors, etc. Despite this 97.70% achieve a qualification in English/Maths, 60% progress into employment, and 30% into further learning/training.
UCRA is highly experienced in working with clients who experience a range of challenges and require significant additional support, e.g. those with HIV/AIDS, experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic abuse, personal trauma, addiction and mental health issues. We promote healthy eating and we offer culturally appropriate traditional foods at subsidised rates and also offer a community centre (drop-in service) to counteract isolation.
Our holistic and person-centred provision means we provide exceptional and individualised pastoral support to help learners achieve their goals. Our procedures, training, commitment and dedication of staff enable learners to address personal and social issues. We provide specialist support for refugees and asylum seekers, long-term unemployed women, health advice and referral expertise for those with HIV/AIDS. We offer sexual awareness training and promote health and wellbeing including provision of free condoms.
Safeguarding
OFSTED Inspectors in January 2023 concluded "Learners Feel Safe and Happy". Safeguarding clients is of paramount concern and as such we follow stringent procedures/guidelines to ensure they are protected at all times. We have strong links with the local authority, local safeguarding children's boards, police and other agencies. We are highly effective in identifying concerns and assessing risks associated with vulnerable learners. All staff receive induction and annual update training on safeguarding reporting as well as how to spot the signs of abuse.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF UGANDA COMMUNITY RELIEF ASSOCIATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 04304151)
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Uganda Community Relief Association ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
