The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed 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 Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2022 - 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 2021/2022 saw the return of face-to-face classes in conjunction with a weekly Zoom class. 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, Family Information Service, Learn English at Home, Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College, Kew Access Scheme, Dose of Nature, English Heritage etc. - art and craft sessions - provision of free online and in person yoga classes - an online and in person healthy cooking club - provision of women-only swimming classes ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** As the restrictions of the pandemic eased, we restored our former face to face classes as well as a full programme of activities and events. Classes have been introduced in two new areas of the borough and have attracted good attendance. We are now teaching approximately 80 learners including new arrivals from the Ukraine and Hong Kong. A large number of our current learners are also committed to regular voluntary positions such as working in local charity shops, helping out at their children’s schools and 8 learners are regular volunteers with our WFSC (Women’s Friendship Swimming Club). Many learners attend accredited classes at local colleges in addition to attendance at our more informal classes. Those who are in paid employment include those who run their own businesses and others who have found work in schools and other organisations. Funding was received from two major local charities, Richmond Parish Lands Charity and The Hampton Fund as well as a grant from The National Lottery and various private donations. As a result of an internal review, we reviewed our strategy for the next three years for the charity and secured trustees with HR and ESOL backgrounds. And finally, we were Highly Commended by Community Heroes Scheme. 3 ## **RICHMOND EAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP CENTRE Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2022 - continued** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** As the coronavirus restrictions were lifted, face-to-face classes resumed which meant an increase in external costs compared to the previous year. However, the charity secured an increased grant from one of its major donors which enabled the charity to offer additional classes. A positive financial outcome of £956 for the period was generated with funds carried forward of just over £22,000. ## Principal Income Sources in 2021/2022 - Richmond Parish Lands Charity - The Hampton Fund - The National Lottery - - Furlough payments under the Government’s Job Retention Scheme ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** As a result of the internal review, we planned to secure the services of an office manager to support the CEO as we continue to broaden our work across the borough. We are also planning to introduce new classes in the borough using the services of sessional teachers. Furthermore, we hope to be part of a study undertaken by University of Roehampton which is reviewing the influence of a second language in the home. In order to achieve our aims, we are looking at other sources of fundraising to support our activities which is proving challenging during this cost-of-living crisis. 4 RICHMOND EAL FRIENDSHIP GROUP CENTRE Trustees report for the year ended 30 June 2022 - continued TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The truslees, who are also directors for the purposes of rA)mpany law. are responsible for preparing 3 trustees, annual report and financial statements in accordan￿ with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting Practice).
