Trustees Annual Report Year End 31% January 2022

Another difficult year but it has been a relatively successful one continuing to weather the storms of the recession , Brexit and Covid

We have managed to continue run courses in English Language for people who have English as a second language and have managed to secure funding from Citizens Advice Bureau to set up Energy Best Deal programmes where we speak to groups of our Centre users

In line with our primary aim we have been able to provide a focal point in the community where people have become involved in a range of activities including Education, Training , Recreation and Health projects .

English Language Class

Again this year the ESOL course has brought diverse groups of people together with the aims of learning English. Classes were held to improve speaking and listening and reading and writing. Learners 1* languages varied from Punjabi, Farsi and Somali .

¢ Good Things Foundation ICT in the Community with unemployed e Good Things Foundation— working with ESOL learners

The Future

The coming year we will continue to help those who are in need with language courses and volunteer training . The increase in adult contracts may impact on the amount of work with children and young people .

We will also continue to assist disadvantaged people with employment support activities

During the past year we have noticed an increase in the number of adults coming to us with financial problems and/or mental health issues.

We have been able to signpost some people to other organisations who specialise in financial problems and/or mental health issues however many choose to stay with us as the Centre .

Partnerships

We will continue to develop our Partnerships with Bradford College , Shipley College, Bradford Council, Good Things Foundation and Citizens Advice.

We will endeavour to get more ‘funders’ to visit us at the Centre to see the work that we are doing , we have found that this has been really positive results.

The coming year will see us again working with the most disadvantaged in our community particularly in view of the Govt. and Local Authority cuts.

We expect to increase the amount ofwork with new communities — refugees and asylum seekers and more settled ESOL communities however there is no funding available to do this . We are looking at Lottery and other Trusts to assist us with this. The Trustees are committed to working with the most disadvantaged communities and will try to bring in the resources to move this forward.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed.. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
