Community Education Forum Trustees' Report For the year ended 31 March 2021
Community Education Forum Trustees' Report For the year ended 31 March 2021 I am pleased to present the Community Education Forum’s Annual Accounts Report for 2020–21, during which the organisation has grown to support a large number of users from diverse
Page | 4 communities and has worked in partnership with many organisations that have helped make our work possible.
Our ongoing campaign seeks to ensure that children and families in our community are supported in their educational needs. Therefore, we have taken the opportunity to review our aims, objects and strategies for the future. We will continue to develop projects that will seek to build the confidence, self-esteem and skills of young people and provide them with knowledge and support them in their aspirations.
Our partnership with local schools has flourished and our work delivering study support classes, mentoring and others continues to provide vital support to children and young people. The service which is located at Fulham Boys School has been very popular and has contributed to improving attainment at both school and borough level. We look forward to building on this achievement and aim to approach the new financial year with a focus on developing services that supports the social, mental, academic and economic wellbeing of children, young people and their families.
As well as educational projects, we have expanded to start delivering arts projects due to research published by UCL which shows that creative activities help regulate emotions and therefore has an impact on wellbeing. The research showed that creativity was a "means of self-development to face challenges by building up self-esteem and confidence". During the summer, we held photography and creative writing workshops with young people twice a week at West Kensington Hall. The young people decided on the theme of 'home' and created poetry, spoken word and zines around this theme. There were also trips in Hammersmith and Fulham for young people to be able to take photographs of their local area. We received positive feedback from young people and one young person commented that: "The trips made me realise that I live in a very interesting area, and I feel inspired" (Samira, 13). The workshops culminated in a showcase in which the young people's parents and the local community attended to support their work.
As a result of our work with young people, our youth offenders project, and seeing the effects knife crime has had on the young people we work with, we carried out a knife crime campaign. As knife crime in London has been increasing, we have liaised with other grassroots organisations, community members, MP of Hammersmith and Fulham Andrew Slaughter and young people to work together in supporting young people in the community. We were also invited to attend a community engagement meeting with the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and other organisations to discuss the issue. We have built lasting relationships with young people and families, key statutory agencies, and community organisations. We currently sit on the board of Hammersmith and Fulham Stop and Search Forum to assess the way stop and search is being carried out in Hammersmith and Fulham. We are able to take feedback from young people and community members to the forum to inform changes which better impact the community.
Our work providing information, advice & guidance and advocacy to the community continues to provide valuable opportunities to many members of our community to access the services they need as much as it has provided opportunities for networking, learning and information exchange within our community. This service has been in high demand since the pandemic, and CEF responded swiftly by providing advice and mentoring to support those most vulnerable in Hammersmith and Fulham on services they can access.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPEORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Community Education Forum
Page | 10
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on page 5 to 10.
respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under the section 145 of the Charities Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basic of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of any examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in the any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements
of the Charities Act have not been met: or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
