Objectives and activities
Objectives
The Charity's objects are to promote such charitable purposes for the benefit of members of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Communities in the Humber region and in particular, the relief of poverty, hardship and distress; the promotion, preservation and protection of health; and the promotion of equality of opportunities and access to all facilities and services available to all citizens within the areas of benefit. The charity will promote and organise co-operation in the achievement of the same and, to that end, bring together representatives of the voluntary organisations and statutory authorities within the area of benefit.
Aims
In pursuance of these charitable objects, and having regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, the trustees have adopted the following Mission Statement "The Role of Humber All Nations Alliance is to support the sustainable development of BME groups and Communities, and promote the wellbeing of BME groups and communities in the Humber sub-region, by providing a voice and advocate on their behalf and by representing their interests in a range of influential or decisionmaking contexts. We work with our members, developing their groups and community associations, providing training to frontline organisations as well as individuals, through independent research and input from our members, we identify needs of the BME community in the Humber sub-region and develop new services to meet these needs".

Objectives and activities (continued)
Mission
Our mission is to represent, resource, develop and empower the BME community groups for them to play a more active and relevant role in the economic, social and cultural life of the Humber region.
Vision
Our vision is to be a voice of the BME communities; to be a catalyst for social cohesion and harmony among all communities and to become the heart of the diverse cultural life of the Humber region.
Significant Activities
In order to deliver against the aims above Humber All Nations Alliance is organised into a number of activity areas. For the period covered in this report the projects were:
Community Development
The charity's main purpose is to promote the welfare and rights of migrant communities and bring communities together to promote understanding and harmony. The charity employs five Community Development Workers to support the development of BME community groups. The number of BME community organisations that are members of Humber All Nations Alliance is presently 56. The support provided by Community Development Workers to community groups includes capacity building activities, representation, access to training opportunities and governance and funding advice. Developing individual and group capacity ensures that BME people can play a full and active role in the community. The organisation provides a vibrant environment where BME and migrant community groups interact with each other, work in partnership with local agencies and empower their individual members. The charity also offers the HANA Small Grant for community groups that are members of the organisation and during the period of this report our Community Development Workers have supported more than 40 community groups to access different sources of funding for their projects and activities.
Community Engagement and Forums
The active involvement of BME community groups in the civic life of the City of Hull and its region is a vital element of the empowering strategy and development of community based organisations and the charity has embarked upon a project of consultation forums in partnership with local agencies to assess the needs of the diverse communities and facilitate their access to services by overcoming the barriers encounter by the BME sector and developing new tools to support community engagement. The Ethnic Community Forum meets the first Wednesday of every quarter from 5.30pm to 7.30pm and it brings leaders and members of the diverse community groups to discuss relevant issues with invited speakers from other agencies. But during the pandemic, this was moved online as a bi-monthly stakeholders meeting. This was very successful forum which was used to discuss a lot of issues affecting our members and the community at large.
Ethnic Arts, Sports and Cultural Awareness
The Humber All Nations Alliance has regular programme of arts workshops to promote the traditional ethnic art and crafts from the diverse of communities that make up the City of Hull. HANA is also a leading organisation in the delivery of sports activities involving the BME sector such as the Ethnic Fashion Show, International Football League, the World Cup of Football, the Chess Club and a diversity of workshops to increase physical activity and community cohesion. The International Fashion Show and the World Cup of Football are now well-established events in the City of Hull and attract the attendance of hundreds of people which help the charity to promote and enhance community cohesion among people of all ethnic origins and backgrounds. The Humber All Nations Alliance also delivers an Annual International festival which is a week-long festival across the City of Hull including workshops in schools a series of public events. Sadly, we could not hold our annual events during the period of this annual report due to the pandemic. But we hope to do that the following financial year depending on the pandemic situation.

Victims Support Project
This project ended with no further funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside. Despite lack of support to this project, the charity continues to see and support people from minority ethnic backgrounds that have been the victims of crime and are in need of psychological, social and cultural support to recover from the effects of crime in their lives.
Sports and Leisure
The Humber All Nations Alliance support community groups to participate in sport and leisure activities across the City of Hull and its region. The World Cup of Football which is organised annually is a wellestablished event that brings together 36 teams and thousands of members of the public in a friendly and constructive atmosphere where members of all communities interact. Members of the diverse communities also participate in the Hull and District Chess Association Tournament and the HANA Kasparov team has been very successful in hosting the cup final in our own premises. Community groups are supported to develop walking groups, gymnastics, sessions, traditional dances and a number of diverse activities with positive impact upon health. Sadly, we could not hold our annual events during the period of this annual report due to the pandemic. But we hope to do that the following financial year depending on the pandemic situation.
Volunteering Project
The Humber All Nations Alliance has a volunteer manager to provide training and support and volunteers are actively encouraged to take part in the services provided by the organisation. Volunteers are involved in all areas of operational work of the charity and there are policies and procedures in place to encourage and reward volunteering, learning and participation, including regular training sessions.
Work Placements
The Community Development Workers of the charity have also been involved in assisting members of BME communities to gain work experience through volunteering and placements, working in partnership with local educational establishments and universities. The charity is a recognised award-winning organisation for delivering placement opportunities to students.
Student Placements
The Humber All Nations Alliance working in partnership with universities in the region offers placements to students of social work, business management and social psychology. While in placement students have the opportunity to work alongside our staff and interact with members of the diverse communities, learning about the problems they face and exploring with agencies the best possible ways to offer solutions to overcome those problems for the benefit of the communities.
Hate Crime Reporting Centre
The Humber All Nations Alliance has been re-appointed as a hate crime reporting centre by the Humberside Police and all staff are trained to deal with issues of hate crime affecting the diverse communities.
Premises
The charity has settled well in its premises which house our offices, a training room, a hall for events, a kitchen and internet facilities. The charity also provides a function and training for community groups with a discounted fee for members. Presently we also offer office accommodation to four community projects. The premises have become the central point of activities for community groups, and this is growing rapidly with community project taking place in our premises on a regular basis.

Achievements and performance
Charitable Activities and Public Benefit
All our charitable activities focus on the support, development and representation of voluntary and community groups.
Charging for Services
The charity did not charge for its services in the past, but where Consultancy work delivered to organisations of the statutory and private sector attracts charges, the appropriate fee is collected. We also offer office accommodation to four community projects which attract charges.
Services
Our service provides information, advice and support on a range of subjects including constitutions and charity law, fundraising, planning and management of charities and voluntary organisations. Humber All Nations Alliance provides a signposting service that enables its members to access frontline services and obtain information from major service providers. It primarily responds to enquiries from groups and organisations. Responses to those enquiries can range from a brief telephone call to an in-depth interview to a lengthy piece of development support. All groups are offered a full health check to establish their needs, this enables the staff at Humber All Nations Alliance to provide or recommend the best service available. The BME Mental Health Community Development Workers work with communities to improve mental service provision. The team provides support and advice for communities and individuals affected by mental health.
Financial review
Reserves Policy
At present the charity complies with the reserves policy established by the Charity Commission for England and Wales which is an amount that shall be kept in order to cover designated redundancy and meet in full the redundancy costs should the charity cease to operate. This level of reserves also allows Trustees to make strategic decisions during interim periods when funding is being sought. The Finance Manual has now been reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. Currently, it is six months of its annual expenditure up to a minimum of £50,000.00. But this is subject to review regularly by the Board of Trustees.
Principal Funding Sources
Humber All Nations Alliance over the period under review had grants and funding from several sources to enable it to carry on delivering its services to the community. Those funders can be found on page 15.
Plans for future periods.
The charity intends to continue delivering the range of services to BME community groups outlined above. It will continue to seek to fund these services from a variety of sources including the involvement of the private sector and project funding is being sought. Humber All Nations Alliance intends to continue promoting and developing a stronger volunteering programme, delivering the Ethnic Fashion Show, the International Football League and the World Cup of Football, reinforcing the community development support and further activities with its members.

(continued)
The charity is exploring various funding strategies which will enable them to diversify and be robust. The trustees are currently undertaking a strategic review of the charity.
The charity also aims to increase its capacity to provide support for victims of hate crimes, by continuing with the reporting facility and developing new and building on existing relations with partners and the police departments responsible for the reporting and monitoring of hate crimes. The provision of support to victims of crime is an area that is developing rapidly, and the service is now well established.
Humber All Nations Alliance will continue to represent BME communities strategically on boards and forums throughout the region, the charity aims to continue working with current partners, and make links with service providers in order to improve services for BME communities.
We envisage engaging even more with statutory agencies to deliver cultural awareness projects for their staff and customers. Also, some contracts with the local and regional universities for student placements and partnerships with the private sector to deliver consultancy on equality and diversity are developing well. These sources of funding will allow Humber All Nations Alliance to develop further, by the delivery of projects throughout the region and to further support and promote the aims and objectives of the charity.

the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other

Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable, and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended.
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Freehold - nil Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance Equipment - 15% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
