**TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Ansaar is a Leicester based charity, specially set up for adults with learning disabilities and carers. The aim is to improve their quality of life. Ansaar champions learning disabilities and carers by influencing positive changes through representation and advocating at various forums, meetings and events locally and nationally. Ansaar is pivotal in breaking down barriers and challenging negative stereotypical views and myths around learning disabilities and carers.
## **Carers Wellbeing Project**
The Carers Wellbeing project (CWP), which was grant funded by the Leicester City Council, ended on 30 June 2019.
## **Be Inspired Project**
The Be-Inspired Project is self-funded, we do not receive any funding or grants to deliver this Project.
The Be-Inspired Project runs sessions on the following days:
Monday morning Session (Female Only) 9.30am - 12.30pm Monday afternoon Session (Female Only) 1:00am - 3:00pm
Tuesday morning Session (Male Only) 9.30am - 12.30pm Tuesday afternoon Session (Male Only) 1:00am - 3:30pm
Wednesday morning Session (Mixed) 9.30am - 12.30pm Wednesday afternoon Session (Mixed) 1:00am - 3:30pm
Thursday morning Session (Female Only) 9.30am - 12.30pm Thursday afternoon Session (Female Only) 1:00 - 3:00pm
Friday Session (Female Only) 9:30 - 3:30pm
Ansaar uses a person centred approach to support adults with learning disabilities to reach their potential by recognising their passions, strengths and skills. Our sessions encourage informal learning through activities that promote literacy and numeracy. All our activities are designed to develop confidence, promote positive wellbeing and encourage integration in the wider community. All our activities are further planned to be culturally appropriate, fun and interactive.
Ansaar facilitates male only and female only sessions ensuring adults with learning disabilities have a safe & protected environment to express themselves.
## The sessions also:
- Provides adults with learning disabilities an opportunity to develop social and practical skills.
- Supports adults with learning disabilities in their religious and cultural beliefs and help them to maintain their identity
- Provides adults with learning disabilities opportunities and access to exercise their independence, have choice and control in their life and to work towards social inclusion

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Recognition**
Ansaar over the last 17 years has built trust and rapport with the BME communities, where local people have confidence to engage with Ansaar and share their issues. Ansaar is able to influence positive changes for people with learning disabilities through representation and advocating at various forums and events.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Ansaar has shown that it is a well run organisation, with overall surplus funds. However, during the year charity had a net deficit of £22,740. This is predominantly due to the grant funding for the CWP project being ended, as well as the impact of COVID.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
- To deliver the Be-Inspired Project six full days a week (Monday to Saturday).
- To employ a carers worker on a part time basis to support carers of adults with learning disabilities.
- To develop Ansaar into a one stop shop as a social enterprise, providing a whole spectrum of care services for adults with learning disabilities, their families and carers.
- To carry out building work to create a quite area within the building and to refurbish the kitchen, where adults with learning disabilities can relax when showing challenging behaviour.
- To refurbish the kitchen, to enable us to deliver activities that develop their independence skills.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Appointment of trustees**
The Trustees will be appointed by election at the Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 25th August 2021 and signed on its behalf by:
Mrs J P Master - Trustee

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ANSAAR**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ansaar ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2021.
## **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**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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.
