## Chair’s report 

I am delighted to present such a positive report about the activities of the Bristol Somali Resource Centre over the year 2021-22. In particular, I want to thank all the staff and volunteers for their commitment and achievements through such a difficult year, as the effects of the pandemic continue to be felt throughout the Somali community and beyond. 

It is also a great pleasure to note that the organisation goes from strength to strength, attracting repeat and new resources from funders across the city and beyond. This has only been possible because of the exceptional work delivered by the organisation in supporting service users through a raft of different needs and requirements. Our thanks go out to all our funders, with much appreciation for their ongoing support as well as for a new period of four-year funding which will allow us to build on our work to date and develop our organisational sustainability. 

Huge congratulations to the staff and volunteer team, service users who contributed to the work of the organisation, and I look forward to an equally successful year in 2022-23. 

Chair of Bristol Somali Resource Centre 

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

This year we supported 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 their life chances over generations, generating cycles of food poverty, inadequate housing, and precarious employment and digital exclusion (IT skills and equipment. The demand for advice information and guidance has increased and pressure on our services has risen as more and more people start to fall behind with their rent and utility bill payments. This has caused homelessness and debt problems. We have given information advice and guidance on debt, benefit, housing, water, employment, utility bills, education, discrimination issues

## **BRISTOL SOMALI RESOURCE CENTRE** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

and consumer issues. We have given information, advice, and guidance to more 1176 people who needed crisis intervention and handholding support. Most people presented multiple issues concerning benefits, debt, employment, consumer issues, and health (both physical and mental) issues. Some of the people faced immediate crises such as evictions, workplace discrimination and the Benefit Cap. We run information sessions to promote vaccination and health issues. 

## **Wellbeing and Mental Health support** 

The Coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns have severely affected the overall wellbeing of many people in our local communities including those who use BSRC’s services. Some people we work with had previous experience of mental health problems and some have developed emotional distress because of Covid-19’s effects. A majority of our service users approached us seeking support with multiple problems they face including housing related problems, unemployment, debt, benefits issues and so on. Others have been referred by another organisation. Many service users are facing a significant degree of anxiety, worries and low mood which negatively impact on their general wellbeing and quality of life. We offered them individual or group support over the telephone and face to face (where the person would benefit more from face-to-face and it was safe to do so, by strictly following covid-19 guidelines). 113 people benefited from our one-to- support. We also provided group mental health awareness events via Zoom and135 people participated. We used evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches to enable people to understand their emotional difficulties and learn ways to improve their wellbeing. 

We also run activities for community elders in a community setting, including a coffee morning, visiting green spaces, and social events to enhance social connections for lonely elders. In addition, we promoted a healthy diet and provided emotional wellbeing and gentle physical exercise. 68 older people benefited and reported improved wellbeing. 

## **Employment and Adult Education project** 

In July 2021, we added to our team a designated employability and adult advisor. From July 2021 to March 2022 our advisor supported 299 people. Of those 53 got paid jobs, 38 progressed to interview stage and 75 received help with CV building, interview techniques and online job searching. We supported 27 young people who need help with accessing high education, 2 of them with UCAS applications to universities, and both were given unconditional offers for undergraduate degrees. We helped 4 service users to apply for PGCE courses and 3 of the 4 were offered places locally. 

In addition to helping service users find English classes locally, we provided weekly English sessions for a class of women, led by a CELTA-qualified volunteer. 28  people attended and gained confidence in using English language. Our employment advisor also ran weekly advanced English sessions for 10 service users who were preparing for PGCEs. 

## **Digital Inclusion** 

Our digital inclusion project supported more 217 people who were experiencing extreme digital exclusion. Families, isolated older people and college students all benefitted from the digital inclusion project. We gave them refurbished laptops and desktops collected from the businesses and education institutions such as universities. It helped them maintain their social ties, accessing education, skills training and improved their psychological wellbeing. A colleague student who could

not afford to buy community for his homework told us _, ‘The laptop helped me pass my exam as I was able study independently’_ . In addition, parents who had school-age children benefitted from digital devices to track their children’s educational progress. 

## **Finance, reserves policy and risk management** 

The trustees have examined the major financial risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks – for example failing to secure adequate funds to cover our running costs in these uncertain times. In line with our legal requirement, the trustees are working towards building unrestricted reserves that can cover salaries and running costs for 6 months should they be needed. At present the unrestricted reserves stand at £114,412 which is close to the figure we need. 

These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. In 2021-2022, we received multi-year restricted funding (£18,2704) from different funders which we received in the last couple of months of the financial year and carried forward. This prepaid funding is part of our budget for activities that will take place in the financial year 2022-2023. 

## **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.

I report on the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022 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.
