Registered number 06899394 Charity Registration 1136307 Blue Ink Trust Ltd Report and Accounts 31 May 2024 Welcome address Respected members, volunteers, parents and guardians, We are very pleased to see you all again and profusely thank you for your continued, unwavering generous support to our projects. We wish and pray that you all are rewarded back abundantly and that you are safe from all sorts of health-related issues. Like previous years, this year again we offered a number of teachers training courses here in the UK and abroad, in particular to the teachers in rural areas. This year we have been offering regular intensive CPDs to teachers in rural areas where, with all sorts of deprivation, education isn’t their priorities. The concept of Bite-Sized teaching and teaching every lesson at least 2-4 new words from English into local languages has proven very successful. Here, in Birmingham the children and young people have improved considerably and show increasingly greater confidence in ‘Reding, Retaining, Recalling and Writing.’ However, while evaluating our work in rural areas, it became clearer to us that most of the boys are able to move on to pursue their education whereas the girls and young women are left behind. Therefore, for the next few years we will be focussing on catering for the needs of the girls’ education. In many parts of the rural areas, men go to work, and they stay away for at least two years and women stay at home. Therefore, when women aren’t educated at least to the standard to help their children, the children lag behind and with all talents and intelligence they struggle to reach their full potentials. Similarly, here in Birmingham those fathers who work in restaurants, they do not get the opportunity of communicating with their children on a regular basis especially during the school days. Generally, children return from school around half past three and by that time fathers leave for the work in restaurants and in the morning when children leave for schools fathers are asleep. Therefore, we urge you all to continue working closely with us so that we are able to help more and more girls in going for higher education. There is a very popular saying that ‘teaching a girl is like teaching the whole family.’ As mentioned before in our communications, we are pursuing to expand the activities where the needs of children and young people are met. Finally, we thank you once again for your time today and seek your continued generous participation in the work that you all have been closely involved in. As always, we are all ears for your suggestions and questions. Thanking you Kindest regard Ozair Akhtar Chair of the Trustees CHARITY COMMISSION J FOR ENGLANO AND WALES Independent examiner's report on the accounts Report lo the In￿lee51 members of Blue Ink Tntsl Lld On accounls for the year ended 31 May 2024 Charity no lil any) 11￿307 Set out cffi paoes I rerANt to the tru*ees ￿ my the accw*s of ￿ aLK)ve tt•1lhe T￿￿) ky tre Y￿ WKled 31 May 2024 Responsibilities and basis of rep(Kl accwnts in aCC4x￿Ce requ[eTr￿ts (alarrt￿ Act 2011 Acr) I rer•)rt in re¥ed cl my examfftatK￿ of the Trusfs accwnts cwried cirt Ixtsjer seclbx 145 ofthe 2011 Act aThJ in Carryng c￿t my examnalKffi.
