The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.00. The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. The trustees are familiar with the practical work of the charity and are able to discuss any aspects of the work with the other members of the charity as and when any problems arise. The trustees are all acquainted with the aims and methods of the charity and, in addition to the quarterly meetings, are in communication with each other to address all aspects of the work. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** Procedures are in place via our nine written policies to protect all trustees, volunteers and learners from possible risks. 2 ## **RICHMOND EAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP CENTRE LTD Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2021 - continued** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The company's objects and principal activities are to: - benefit the EAL learners by delivering informal English lessons - ensure that all learners have access to appropriate service providers The year 2020/2021 was affected by the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Face to face classes were completely closed down and did not resume during that financial year. Online Zoom classes were offered from September 2020, three per week, plus a weekly outdoor “walk and talk”. The charity’s sole employee was furloughed, or part-furloughed as appropriate, under the government’s Job Retention Scheme. The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus upon the recruitment of 'hard to reach' speakers of English as an additional language many of whom have children in Richmond schools. Activities included: - free informal English lessons in five EAL Friendship Groups - partnerships with NHS, HealthWatch Richmond, Richmond Borough Mind, Citizens' Advice Richmond, Home Start, Family Information Service, Learn English at Home, Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College, Kew Community Membership Scheme, Dose of Nature, English Heritage etc. - provision of free online yoga classes - an online healthy cooking club - online art and craft sessions ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Despite the pandemic, we continued to recruit new learners by regular networking with schools, health services, clinics, local service providers etc. Around 50 learners joined during the year. A significant number of learners moved on to paid employment, accredited courses or volunteering positions in local schools, galleries and shops, and with other charities. We organised online outreach presentations from local organisations including HealthWatch Richmond, Richmond Borough Mind and Citizens Advice Richmond. Funding was received from two major local charities, Richmond Parish Lands Charity and The Hampton Fund. A grant was also obtained from The National Lottery. Four new trustees were appointed to strengthen the board, including those with financial expertise. 3 ## **RICHMOND EAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP CENTRE LTD Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2021 - continued** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** Against the backdrop of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, most of the activities were redirected to remote learning. As such there was minimal external expenditure other than the employee’s salary. Securing funding was extremely challenging, however, excluding the support of the Government’s coronavirus job retention scheme, the charity still managed to achieve 82% of pre pandemic income levels. With prudent management of resources, the charity generated a positive financial outcome of £9,079 for the period with funds carried forward of just over £21,000. ## Principal Income Sources in 2020/2021 - Richmond Parish Lands Charity - The Hampton Fund - The National Lottery - Furlough payments under the Government’s Job Retention Scheme ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** The Covid-19 pandemic has still made planning very challenging. The charity will endeavour to offer as much of its normal programme as possible in the next financial year. From September 2021 the following activities were introduced: - Three weekly face-to-face classes with limited numbers and virus - protection in place - One weekly online language class via zoom - One weekly face-to-face yoga session - One weekly outdoors “walk and talk” session From November2021: - One monthly session of the informal healthy cooking club From 2022 it is planned to introduce: Monthly outdoor workshops at Marble Hill Park Monthly visits to Kew Gardens, through their community membership scheme These and all activities will have to be modified if government restrictions are once again imposed. 4 **RICHMOND EAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP CENTRE LTD Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2021 - continued** ## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
