## **Annual Trustees’ Report 2024-25**
The trustees of the Hamwattan Centre present their Annual Report for the year ending 31 March 2025. Over the past year, Hamwattan Centre has continued to expand its programmes to support older people in our community, promoting social connection, health, wellbeing, and independence.
Our charitable objectives focus on reducing social isolation, improving physical and mental wellbeing, and supporting older people to live healthier, more connected lives. Throughout 2024–25, we delivered a welcoming community space offering meals, activities, health-based interventions, trips, and digital inclusion support.
Hamwattan Centre delivered a twice-weekly lunch club throughout the year, with an average of 35 attendees per session. We operated for 2 days per week across the year excluding the month of Ramadan. We provided approximately 3,360 hot meals to older people in our community, offering both nutritious food and a space to connect with others.
Throughout the year we provided a range of weekly wellbeing sessions designed to improve physical, emotional, and social health:
- Massage therapy sessions delivered by trained professionals
- Chair-based exercise supporting mobility and strength
- Mental wellbeing sessions, culturally-appropriate and led by a trained practitioner
- Digital skills sessions delivered in partnership with Age UK, helping older adults build confidence with smartphones, tablets, and online communication
- English language classes
These sessions contributed significantly to reducing loneliness, promoting independence, and improving quality of life.
Throughout the year, Hamwattan Centre also hosted a number of important cultural and seasonal celebrations that strengthened community spirit and offered our service users opportunities to come together in joyful and meaningful ways. We held well-attended Eid parties, bringing together older people to share food, music and time with one another during this significant occasion. We also organised an Independence Day celebration, which allowed our community to recognise and take pride in their cultural heritage. To conclude the year, we held a lively End-of-Year party, where service users, volunteers and partners gathered to reflect on the year’s achievements and enjoy an afternoon of celebration.
We organised several excursions to support community cohesion and broaden life experiences for our service users, including but not limited to: a trip to Morecambe Bay (in partnership with Northern Rail), a cultural visit to Bradford, and various social brunch outings. These trips were particularly valued by members who rarely have opportunities to travel or socialise outside their homes.

We are grateful for the external funding and partnerships that supported our work this year. Key funding streams included:
- Places of Welcome - supporting our open community sessions
- Welcome Spaces - enabling us to provide a warm, safe, social environment
- Household Support Fund - distributing food vouchers to vulnerable families and individuals
- Public Health (Leeds City Council) - smoking cessation awareness-raising
- 10 0% Digital Leeds - providing digital equipment for our service users to help address digital exclusion
● International Day of Older People Grant - enabling us to deliver “Our Stories, Our Impact: Celebrating the Part We Play,” a storytelling event celebrating the wisdom and contributions of older people
● University of Leeds Partnership - collaborating on health research aimed at improving services and outcomes for older adults
This financial and collaborative support was essential in expanding our services and reaching more people in need.
The trustees are proud of the progress made during 2024-25. Hamwattan Centre continues to play a vital role in supporting older people, offering culturally sensitive, accessible, and impactful services. We remain committed to growing our programmes, strengthening partnerships, and addressing emerging community needs.
We thank our staff, volunteers, partners, and funders for their dedication and support throughout the year.
