## Trustees Annual Report year end 31% January 2023 

Another difficult year this year with the cost-of-living crisis with both costs of food and energy increasing. 

Froma funding point of view, we have hada relatively successful year after being awarded funds by the National Lottery [ over 3 years] the Peoples Health Trust [ over two years] and the Good Things Foundation — other funders have also supported us who are mentioned in another section of this report. 

We continue to run courses in English for people who have English as a second language [ ESOL] 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 with a view to reducing their energy costs 

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, 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 first languages varied from Punjabi, Farsi and Somali to Albanian, Polish and Ukrainian.

## Fareshare provision 

This has been a great success. 

With the Fareshare resources we have been cooking food for our service users and giving ‘Bags of Help’ to those in need.

Health and Wellbeing There are more people presenting with mental health issues predominately with stress and anxiety — we have tried to address this by increasing our Health and Wellbeing provision mainly supported by The National Lottery Community fund. 

We have set up a referral partnership with Thornbury Health Hub anda local Health Centre in Bradford 3 where co-ordinators and social prescribers refer adults with mental health issues for face-to-face support.

While some organisations are geared more towards remote help, our Health and Wellbeing provision continues to deliver much needed face to face support. Whilst we provide two days for our Health and Wellbeing delivery, it is apparent that this is not enough and we have growing waiting lists to access some of the provision.

## Trustees Annual Report year end 315 January 2023 

Asylum seekers and refugees There has been a large increase in the number in the number of unemployed adults attending the Centre, between 200 and 240 per week [ this equates to between 9,600 and 11,520 over the year] Many of these are asylum seekers and refugees who access our food and clothing support and English [ ESOL] classes. We have noticed an increase in Kurdish , Arabic and Albanian speakers and whilst we are fortunate to enjoy fantastically diverse communities, we still need to bring in additional resources to meet the needs of all of our service users, 

Wrap-around support Bradford Council have seen the benefit of Safety First Community Training Centre and regularly refer people to us not only for our ESOL provision but for our energy support, food and clothes bank. 

## FareShare Yorkshire 

We continue to work alongside FareShare Yorkshire in helping to re-distribute surplus food to those most in need. We are providing two course meals on a PAYF (Pay As You Feel) basis Monday to Thursday. In addition, we are supporting people with Food Parcels, including fresh bread, milk, cheese, vegetables and baked goods. The ambient/chilled and freezer deliveries have been supported this forthcoming year by Inn Churches with a generous donation to the Centre. We are delighted to have received a visit from Environmental Health department at the end of October 2022, which resulted in us maintaining our 5* Food Hygiene rating. We also have 2 new volunteers helping in the kitchen/café area. Thank you to them both.

## The Future 

The coming year we will continue to help those who are in need with courses and volunteer training. The increase in the number of adults has been phenomenal this year with 9,885 attendances over the year with 235 attending in just one week! 

## Safety First will also continue to assist disadvantaged people with employment support activities. 

Our charity has 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 and in response we have developed our health and wellbeing provision. 

## Partnerships 

We will continue to develop partnership working with Bradford College, Shipley College, Bradford Council, Good Things Foundation, Citizens Advice, community providers and other organisations. We have made inroads with our health provision and wish to extend this further in view of the evidence ofneed and to become part of the bigger health and wellbeing structure in the district. We will endeavour to get more ‘funders’ to visit us at the Centre to see the work that we are doing, as we have found that this has been really positive. When funders and potential funders come and see what happens at the Centre, they are more likely to support us.

What our service users think of us: My Adventure with Safety First 

Unsure of my next steps within life and my employment journey, | discovered Safety First Community Training Centre. They gave me a safe place and foundation to grow in with a direction that | never imagined at the time. To be honest the whole journey awoke my self-worth and belief. 

| began to volunteer and shadow the ESOL tutors, on reflection | felt extremely nervous but was given the right amount of support to begin to take leaps of faith and be more active within the ESOL classes. 

A whole new chapter opened for me when Safety First asked if | would like to attend a course at Shipley College to enable me to learn how to lesson plan and the correct learning tools to become a positive Volunteer ESOL teacher. Meeting others on the course and learning about their journey was also inspiring. Our tutor explained and guided us on the course very well and were really supportive. When returning to Safety First, | would always be asked how college went and everyone would share advice and experiences to help me grow. The ESOL learners within class are a true inspiration and being a part of seeing them grow in confidence made me smile and also strive to be more myself. | will always remember the kindness and guidance from you all at Safety First and without this | may not have taken the leap to apply for the paid role | have now as a Community Development worker. Thank you all. 

Safety First is a true gem in the heart of the community! 

Many Thanks 

Diana Peace, May 2023

As we are working with more adults with Mental Health issues particularly anxiety and stress not only have we developed the Health and Wellbeing suite on the 4" floor but staff have attended the two Mental Health First Aider training course. 

This has been beneficial for both our service users and staff who attended.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- 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;

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.
