- (4) Any other charitable purpose agreed by special resolution under the Articles of the Company, and notified to, and accepted by the Charity Commission as charitable. 

## **Vision** 

To create a strong and vibrant Somali community that is fully integrated into British society as active, social and economic participant. 

## **Summary of main objectives in relation to the above objects** 

The Bristol Somali Resource Centre (BSRC) provides free and impartial information, advice and guidance on range of issues including welfare, housing, schools and employment. BSRC also organises training activities and workshops to enhance employment opportunities, social interaction and to help reduce isolation. We work with the most disadvantaged people in Bristol, resolving many problems and challenges that they face. We are committed to improving the lives of most vulnerable people in the community who are facing barriers such cultural and language barriers. 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

This year was a strange and challenging year for all of us.  Our normal way of service delivery has been disrupted by challenges presented by Covid-19. As a result, we had to adapt our services and respond to those challenges. We realised that the challenges are immense, and the community has been hit hard and disproportionately affected by Covid-19. Therefore, we mobilised the community resources and set up a Covid-19 task force to support those who were self-isolating, lost loved ones or lost their livelihood. We helped people affected by lockdown with advice, guidance, information and translated information about the Covid-19 into community languages. We raised awareness about Covid-19, translated government Covid-19 guidelines and promoted vaccine uptake. 

We continued to support Somali individuals and families across the City of Bristol, including those most affected by the COVID pandemic. As COVID highlighted, many families face multiple deprivations which have the potential to impact on their life chances over generations, generating cycles of digital exclusion (IT skills and equipment), food poverty, inadequate housing, and precarious employment. 

We have been giving support and advice around employment, housing, mental health support, education, relocation and benefits, among many other areas. Our fantastic staff team has continued to perform miracles in the face of very limited time and resources and overwhelming demand for support. 

Whilst providing ongoing free advice and support services, BSRC also learnt that there is existing food poverty among the community we serve, where many families and individuals struggle to afford adequate food. The reason is that majority of service users were on zero-hour contract and were not entitled to the furlough payments scheme.  Also, many of them were self-employed or work in precarious jobs, which made them prone to catch the virus (Covid-19) and thus led them into selfisolation if not hospitalisation. Therefore, they could easily face loss of income within a short period

of time, which led them to struggle to put food on the table.  To tackle this apparent food shortage, BSRC maximised its capacity to reach the most vulnerable people in the City. On a weekly basis, food boxes have been distributed to most disadvantaged people whom Covid19 and the subsequent lockdowns exacerbated their predicaments. 

Since 1st lockdown, BSRC learnt through food delivery visits that digital poverty is also part of the problem in which most of our service users have. To respond to this, BSRC contacted digital trusts, foundations, private companies, and individuals for assistance on this. We secured refurbished laptops, PCs and brand-new tablets. Since April 2020, devices distribution has been underway, hundreds of families have been connected to the net for educational and societal purposes. 

Similarly, BSRC spotted another group of people who had an extreme digital exclusion. Older adults encountered reduced social interaction during the lockdown. The use of Personal computers would help them maintain their social ties, which also improves their psychological wellbeing. A selfisolated elderly who lost his social contacts had after been reconnected lamented, “had I knew this would be accessible, I would have called BSRC in April (1st lockdown)”.  In addition, parents who had school-age children benefitted from digital devices to track their children’s educational progress. 

Coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns have severely affected the overall wellbeing of many people in our local communities, including those who use BSRC services. Some people we work with had previous experience of mental health problems, and some have developed emotional distress as the result of the Covid-19 effects.  The majority of our service users approach us seeking support with multiple problems they face, including housing-related problems, unemployment, debt, benefits issues and so on. These create a significant degree of anxieties, worries and low mood, which negatively impact their general wellbeing and quality of life. 

Therefore, we (BSRC) provided 1 to 1 support over the telephone and face to face (where the person would benefit more on the f2f and it is safe to do so by strictly following covid-19 guidelines). We also provided group mental health awareness events via Zoom. 

On the funding front, we thank all those who have supported us across the year, through funding and in-kind, including Bristol City Council, Quartet Community Foundation, BSWN, Lloyds Foundation and many more.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and 

- 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 that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. 

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements. 

The company has taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the report above. 

The trustees declare they have approved the trustees’ report (including directors’ report) above. 

Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

I report on the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 8 - 17. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4.  the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1 Basis of Preparation** 

- a) These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102),(effective 1 January 2019) - Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

- c) The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

- d) The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

- a) Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows: 

i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. 

ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition have been met. 

- b) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

- c) Most expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities, and have been included in those cost categories. Support cost have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity. 

- d) Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

- e) Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

- f) Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

   - Computer equipment - 33.3% straight line - not charged in year of purchase 

- g) The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

- h) The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
