## ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE 

## Delivering Public Benefit 

The charity has been very active in the Hackney and East London Community during the costof-living crisis which followed closely after Covid-19. We provided a variety of services, workshops and community activities in pursuance of our charitable aims. The trustees considered the following specific activities summarised below which benefited members of the local community in Hackney. Financial and Budget Management As the cost-of-living crisis deepened, the charity organised workshops to empower the community, especially women, single and new mothers on personal financial and budgeting. The sessions showed service users how to effectively manage their finances, budget, prioritise and set smart goals to achieve their objectives. Qualified professionals within the charity sector were invited to lead sessions and help service users to set realistic goals. Foodbank The Foodbank became the most important area of support we provided to the Hackney community in 2022. The cost-of-living crisis has brought untold hardship to service users. It affected the health, social life and wellbeing of many vulnerable families and individuals in Hackney and other areas in East London. Many families had to make the difficult choice of feeding their children or heating their homes. Our charity helped about 40 to 50 families every week with fresh and cooked food, vegetables, clothing and essential commodities. Our volunteers are always at hand to support families with food parcels, especially vulnerable families in need, including homeless families and people experiencing other complex social problems like mental health. Approximately 520 vulnerable families and people in need were supported with rations of food and basic necessities in the year. Teaching/Lectures We delivered approximately 8 hours of preaching and teaching every week to enhance the spiritual development and good morals of people in the communities the charity serves. Counselling/Prayer Initiative 

In the period under review, we continued to hold counselling and prayer sessions through the charity’s Welfare and Intercessory Project. We organised community sessions where people prayed for individuals, families and the poor. We organised monthly fasting and prayer programmes which gave opportunities for people in the community to come together to socialise, sing, prayed for, and supported one another. Those under intense financial pressures were counselled, advised and signposted to specialist support services. The charity organised four retreats in the year to sharpen the social and spiritual development of 100 service users.

Family Support/Mariage Seminars One of our flagship programmes is the quarterly seminars to promote strong family values, strengthen marriages and provide support to those who face family challenges. A family meal was provided at the end of every session. We received good feedback on how this project has helped families. We provided advice and counselling to families in need at the sessions. wasOver 175 families attended the four sessions with a minimum of 40 families a session which encouraging. We also kept faith with many families using the telephone. Volunteers regularly called service users to find out how they feel and if they need anything.

## Children and Young People Project. 

The charity provided weekly after school programmes at the Hackney Methodist Church building and park. Sessions were supervised by qualified teachers and volunteers who also served as mentors for many of the young people. The charity supported 218 young boys and girls ages 7 to 17 years in the year to improve their educational attainments. 

The youth programme has beena lifeline for many families whose young people come from poor backgrounds and have access to less opportunities like play, socialisation, computers, phone or data.

This youth project gave skills and 

## National Parents & Youth Forum 

In the period under review, the charity revived its National Parents and Youth Forum to fight the growing epidemic ofyouth crime in East London. Every month, the charity brings parents, community leaders, various voluntary organisations and stakeholders together to discuss violence, crime and gang culture in the community. Families from all backgrounds participated in these community sessions as well as online programs. Sessions were organised in fun, interactive and participatory manner enabling people to make friends, increase social networks and develop a sense of belonging in the community. Leadership Seminars 

In our quest to motivate youth and adults to raise their voices that are not usually heard, the charity organised 4 leadership seminars in the year. This developed and enhanced leadership skills in 20 individuals. We also trained 10 young people in community activism to take lead in developing community activism. This annual programme is also aimed at developing and enhancing the spiritual alertness of service users. These forums helped to develop young people’s talents, confidence and improved academic achievements, It also helped many young people to integrate better in the wider community.

## Volunteers 

Volunteers are central to the ethos and operations of the charity. A pool of 8 permanent volunteers and 12 community people, mostly parents, helped to support our work in the year. They donated their time, expertise and equipment to implement programmes, raise funds and provided other services. Volunteers undertook outreach to residential areas to talk to people about our programs. The charity is very grateful and thank all volunteers and community people who helped in the year from their generosity. The financial value of this generosity has neither been calculated nor included in the financial statements because it is difficult to quantify in monetary terms. 

Financial Review The charity secured 8 grants totalling £52,620.00 in the year. These were awarded by The Hackney Small Grants, Hackney Infrastructure Grant, Hackney Giving — Living with Covid, Awards for All, Voice for Change England, Hackney Giving — Cost of Living and Hackney Council for Warm Spaces.

## Plans for the Future 

At the end of the 2022 project year, trustees, volunteers and stakeholders met to review community needs. Issues identified as being important to improving quality of life for service users include, enhancing and expanding the foodbank and warm Space to reach more people in the community, reducing isolation and loneliness, giving skills to women, single mothers and teenage parents, tackling youth violence and abuse among families. 

Although prices of goods and services are falling, the cost-of-living is yet to lower. We have planned to extend our outreach work, provide more Support to young people, poor and vulnerable in the community. We plan to build community programmes that benefit more people in Hackney and surrounding areas. This will include increasing activity levels among young and older people, counselling services, youth work, parents and young people’s forum, violence mitigation and outreach in the community. 

The charity's number one Priority is owning a permanent place of worship through an outright purchase via a mortgage. We use rented premises for our church service and community programs at 99 Chatsworth Road, Hackney. A building committee is empowered to scout for a place ofworship of our own.
