2. The advancement of education. 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

3. The promotion of equality and diversity and the elimination of discrimination. 

4. The promotion of good relations between persons of different racial groups

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit  in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

Before  COVID-19  pandemic,  CESI  has  had  been supporting  the Ex-British  Gurkha  community  in areas  of  increasing  their  access  to  Health  and healthier  living,  Housing  and  welfare  benefits, reducing their isolation and loneliness and integrating them into the local wider communities. These  activities  were  suddenly  stopped  due  to COVID -19 outbreak as they were shielded in their homes  with  movement  restriction which  have resulted in severe isolation, loneliness and frustration. Along with the loss of loved ones, this pandemic has created huge unrepairable damage to socio-economic as well as family structure of people.  The  ethnic  minorities  had  been  of  the worst affected category. Amongst all, the families of  ex-  British  Gurkhas  and  other  Nepalese  had gone through the most difficult situation of their time  here  in  the  UK.  About  40  older  Ex-British Gurkha people died because of COVID-19. Loss of loved ones, lack of socialisation, social distancing and living like an exiled within limited boundaries and fear of death had suppressed people’s mental life. They had been mentally worried, physically exhausted and socially despair. The level of destress  were  elevating  causing  lowering  both physical and mental health condition. Regression, despair, hopelessness, lack of support and absence of initiation had become the fuel on fire. 

CESI as an organisation had been affected a lot. Due to the pandemic, CESI staff and volunteers

has not been able to provide the services it aimed to provide. Community people have not been able to visit CESI for important drop-in services and the casework support. 

Thus,  because  of  COVID-19  crisis  there  was  an increased  demand  for  services  and  support  for these vulnerable people. support communities to work together digitally to respond to COVID-19. 

During  COVID-19  lock  down,  many  people  from this community approached CESI through phone for help and support relating to their isolation and loneliness due to movement restriction. 

The idea of  such types of support emerged from the beneficiaries itself. As CESI have been working with this community for the last 14 years, they are familiar with CESI and thus they approached CESI to find out ways that they could engage with and reduce their isolation **.** CESI started the process by taking  initiatives  to  develop  the  project.  The process involved a series of telephone conversions with  the  community  key  informants  as  well  as others. In this, almost all of them showed keen interest to take part in some kind of interaction with  their  fellow  community  members  digitally. Representatives from the beneficiaries would work as volunteers as well as sit in the Project Steering Group  that  would  engage  itself  throughout  the process from development to delivery and monitoring the project activities. They would participate in this project digitally. Therefore, this project  was  completely  adoptable  to  meet  the government’s  social  distancing  guidelines. Thus, the activities were designed in consultation with the  beneficiaries  themselves. Keeping  this  into account,  CESI  approached  some  of  the  funders and applied projects to help support these most vulnerable  older  Ex-British  Gurkha  people.  CESI was  able  to  solicit  some  funding  from  London Community Foundation, The National Lottery Community  fund  and  Neighbourhood  Post  code Trust  fund. The  fund was  basically  used for reducing isolation and loneliness of the ex-British Gurkha veterans and improving their health/ wellbeing **.** 

With this support, they were trained for using the

laptop  for  participating  online  meetings  using software platform such as zoom or Microsoft team. The participants were contacted digitally to discuss and solicit their stories in relation to what happened to them during the pandemic, what and when did they feel most difficult, when did they become very worried and anxious, how did they manage  to  live,  how  did  they  manage  their shopping and medical needs, what they thought was needed to manage such crisis and what do they suggest to be prepared for any possible crisis in future. Apart from the above, other activities such as  Songs/jokes for fun, sharing culinary tips and skills, Gardening tips and techniques, Online Yoga sessions, sharing government guidelines and updates about COVID-19, and activities that are refreshing and enjoyable on a regular basis.  The above activities were implemented digitally using laptops.  To  implement  the  above  activities:  30 laptops  were  purchased  and  distributed  to  the beneficiaries, a part time project coordinator was recruited  and  trained,  3  volunteers  were  also recruited and trained and participating beneficiaries were also trained on the use laptop and the use of zoom or Microsoft team application **.** CESI  staff  and  volunteers  helped  set  up  the laptops. A two hour session were run two days a week. 

The project engaged them online to speak to their fellow community, get involved in activities targeted to reduce their isolation and loneliness. This created an opportunity to come together and deliver the project successfully. The project provided them an opportunity to have an increased interaction and engagement with their community fellows that enhanced their mood/mental well-being and reduced their isolation.  This  will  be  achieved  through  online support  for  a  period  of six  months.  Programme coordinator with support from the volunteers led the programme. 

The outputs led to giving an insight on what is needed in this transition for the communities to move towards recovery and renewal and what is possible in the future. A total of 50 older ex-British Gurkhas veterans from 25 household were

benefited from the project. This project made a huge  difference  in  the  lives  of  the  participated beneficiaries. They have reduced social isolation and loneliness to a greater extent and increased happiness. If there are further lockdowns, we will still be able to deliver the proposed work and will try to bring them in normal situation.

Before COVID-19 pandemic, CES1 has had been supporting the Ex-British Gurkha community in areas of
increasing their access to Health and healthier livin& Housing and welfare benefits. reducing their isolation
and loneliness and integrating them into the local wider communitie5. These activities were suddenly
stopped due to COVID -19 outbreak as they were shielded in their homes with movement restrirtion which
have resulted in severe i501ation, loneliness and frustration. Along with the105s of loved ones. this pandemic
has created huge unrepairable damage to soaoeconomic as well as family structure of people. The ethnic
minorities had been of the worst affetted category. Amongst all, the families of ex- British Gurkhas and other
Nepalese had gone through the m05t difFicult situation of their time here in the UK. About 40 older Ex-British
Gurkha people died because of COVID-19. Loss of loved ones. lack of socialization, Social distancing and living
like an exiled within limited boundarie5 and fear of death had suppressed people's mental life. They had been
mentally worried, physically exhausted and socially despair. The level of destress were elevating causing
lowering both physical and mental health condition. Regression. despair, hopelessness, lack of support and
absence of initiation had become the fuel on fire.
CESI as an organization had been affected a lot. Due to the pandemic, CESI staff and volunteers has not been

classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finan￿ leases are inttially recognised ès assets of the charity at their fair value at the
inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present Value of the minimum lease payments. The

capitèlised in accordance with the charity's policy on EM)rrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recogni5ed as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease

rental expense on a straight-line basis.
