recreational activities for their children. Most people who benefit from our
activities are socially excluded, in low-income, refuges and asylum seekers.
bl Through our activities we want to increase the participation and engagement in
the arts activities of the communities who do not participate to the mainstream
arts activities.
c) Through our activities we want to give the artists who have barrier to access
mainstream art5 suppor¥ the opportunity to showcase their talent in the arts of
music, dance, drama, comedy and theatre,
dl We use our activities as a bridge to bring different background together in
England to celebrate culture diversities of England through music, dance,
theatre, comedy, drama, painting and drawing, and sculpture.
3) Beneflclarles

African communities based in great London and England

promoting African Culture, Arts and Sport through public performances, workshops,
and seminars.
5) Our mission statements
ACASN has adopted a mission statement to support, promote and empower African
community who are beyond the mainstream support.
6) Review of the year
a) Dlrectorfs report
The year 2024 has been quiet a challenging year for our organisation due to cost-
of-living crisi5 in the United Kingdom. The cost-of-living crisis and lack of funding
have forced our organisation to just provide minimum service to our service-
users.
b) Flnances
It has been difficult for our organisation to get funds from different funding
bodies and grants making organisations. Many applications for grants and
funding were made, but unfortunately most of them were unsuccessful.
However we were forced to adapt to the current situation and worked very hard
throughout the year in order to enable our organisation to sustain during the
year 2024.
c) Organisational development
Given the actual state of the financial situation of our organisation, we were not
able to provide as much as possible different kinds of projects and activities for
our service-users as we have planned to do.
We took advantage of taking part in different kind of training projects, These
projects enabled our organisation management committee's members and
volunteers to develop resilience and become more effective to run and
implement well the work of our organisation in the current situation.

We have organised the cost-of-Living Resilience Training Programme in which
our service-users and neighbourhood's residents learnt crucial money
management skills so that they can successfully have control of money
spending during this current financial crisis. Thank you to the National
Lottery Community Fund for providing our organisation with the financial
support to run this project.
We have organised African Music workshops with young people from African
refugees, background. This project gave young people from African
community opportunity to learn how to play different type of music
instruments.
We also organised different music performances with our London based
African artists in order to entertain our local community.
