Report of the trustees
Year ended 31 March 2025
Networking and partnerships
The interim chair and the consultant, on a voluntary basis, played an instrumental part across a range of
networks to keep at the forefront concerns of local people, feedback and community involvement in the co-
design of health. social care, education and other social justice measures.
These included the following-
Sandwell Networks Group- Turning connections into actions
Public Health and Faith Leaders Steering Group- Being apprised of key national and local-related
developments
Sandwell Integrated Care Partnership - Transition of health and social care provision across the
region
Hate Crime Partnership group-critical reflection and peer reviewofthird-party reporting measures
Complainant aid casework and social injustice Clinics
RES continued provision of advice, aid and assistance to the most vulnerable, across a range of social care
and welfare areas, employment, education and community safety and incidents of discrimination and hate
rhetoric.
Whispenvings
A Heart of England Inclusive Communities Fund medium sized bid for £44.597 was awarded and
successfully delivered. This project encouraged women from many different communities, (Yemini, British,
Bangladeshi, Afghani, Iranian, Iraqi) to value story telling as a way of collecting their oral, recorded and
written histories. The women recorded their histories in written English and their mother tongue. They
Created books. audio books, cartoons, puppets and dolls to bring their histories to life. Their life stories
have been recorded for their families, friends and younger generations to read listen to and treasure.
Participants improved their confidence by learning new and improving existing ICT skills. They used filming
on cameras and phones to enhance and produce their histories in a variety offormats. They improved their
English skills through writing stories and oral interactions. Artistic skills were enhanced through making
puppet theatres and puppets. Women's overall sense of well-being was improved as their lived experiences
were recorded, enjoyed and valued.
WMCA Multiply
This project was originally funded for £20,000 from 1S1 February 2024 until 31¥1 July 2024, however, we
applied and were successful in extending the project until 315t December 2024 for a further £20,000 totalling
£40,000 for the whole project. This free initial engagement project was to attract employed or volunteering
participants from a range of diverse backgrounds across Birmingham and Sandwell, to engage in numeracy
and maths. This was delivered using fun and engaging face to face and online activities around the
common themes and desires of saving time and money using numeracy and maths. Almost 200 persons
attended the project with many (620/0) being referred to substantive fomial accredited maths programmes
at Entry Levels Level 1 and 2.

Inspire Hope Growth
Inspire Hope Growth was funded £20,000 through the Lottery Awards for All. The project was delivered
from April 2024 and ended in September 2025. This project was directly delivered after consultation,
collaboration and partnership with a range of Community and volunlary sector organisations who informed
the project of the key issues that directly affect and impact on women living in diverse communities. A range
of activities included healthy eating, attending jobs fairs, supported visits to senior schools so that they
could make informed choices for their children in years 5 and 6 and transitions to secondary schools.
Healthy eating and cooking was very popular and each session had an ICT focus, whether that be making
posters, tsking photos, emailing and so forth. A range of talks were enthusiastically listened to, including
diabetes, several different types of cancer presentations, accessing GP practices, Smear testing
Vaccinations and so much more.
The impact of loss of funding has been significant on RES. Efforts for the Coming year will be to focus
income generation activity. This will include a mix of small and medium to longer term funding initiatives.
RES'S continued efforts working with local people and services has highlighted there is much to be done to
address structural inequalities and the disproportionate impacts of the pandemic on different protected
characteristic groups. Recovery work designing services to come together to work holistically, working in
partnership with communities with the lived experience and rebuilding trust and confidence in public
services is essential. RES will explore pathways to secure new areas of funding and partnerships to aid
these efforts.
Investment Policy
The trustees have kept available funds on deposit with Co-operative Bank plc. The invested funds achieved
an average interest rate of 0.120/0.
Reserrfes policy and going concern
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover
unplanned requirements. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves is 6 months.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees believe this is
8ppropriate with the Current situation. However, there are some concerns over the future level offunds held
and the expected level of income. The charity has recently been successful with a funding bid and have
asked for further funding to support the overheads from different funders. The future ability of the charity is
dependent on being successful in obtaining more funding moving fotwards. As it stands now, the trustees
believe adopting the going concern assumption is appropriate.
Plans for future periods
As this report highlights, there is much that remains to be done. It is encouraging that RES remains at the
forefronts to challenge unfairness, inequalities and tensions. Each section above highlight5 the range and
scope of RES'S activities and the key challenges that we will continue to address in the short and long term.
It is essential that we address the causes, culture and drivers that perpetuate disadvantages, exclusion and
disengagement for many people. These inequalities are of significant concem for RES and we will continue
to stretch new targets to reduce all forms of disadvantage and discrimination.
