**Azadi Trust - Annual Report and Accounts 2020-21**
## **Company Activities 2020-2021**
## **The Aims and Objectives of the Trust**
The Trust was founded as a Registered Charity in 1991 and reconstituted as a Charitable Company in 2010. Eleven years on, its Aims and Objectives remain as follows:
“The Charitable Company’s Object is, for the benefit of the public, to advance the Christian Faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith, particularly within (but not limited to) the neighbourhood of Sparkbrook, Birmingham and its surrounding areas, by, for example, (but not limited to):
- serving the local community, by providing health, education, advocacy and pastoral provision, especially to those disadvantaged by virtue of age, disability, destitution or by being members of an ethnic minority;
- the provision of housing accommodation;
- the relief of destitution by financial and material provision; and
- the provision of written, verbal or visual information about the Christian Faith.”
## **The ‘Modus Operandi’ of the Trust: ‘A Vehicle for Partnership’**
As well as direct provision of services, the Trust has always seen itself as a ‘vehicle’ for support and partnership with other local organisations operating within the same ethos and parameters: any individual or group wishing to operate a project compatible with the Trust’s Aims & Objectives can ‘come aboard the vehicle’ for as long as it suits them to do so. ‘Partnership’ with the Trust operates effectively at three levels:
Firstly, the Articles of Association of Azadi Trust allow for a full partnership arrangement with another organisation whereby that organisation itself becomes a ‘Member’ of the Trust, provides the Trust with additional Trustee(s) and contributes to the Trust’s pool of expertise and manpower. The Trust’s partnership with ‘Member Organisation’ ReachGlobal and its ‘joint enterprise’, the Open Door Friendship Centre (‘ODFC’) in Small Heath, has continued into its eleventh year. The Trust is indebteded to ReachGlobal supporters for faithful financial support and manpower over these years. We are also grateful to Tim & Jess Steele, who have been seconded to Azadi Trust by OM, for their perseverance in their managing of and envisioning for the Centre. Please see below for Tim’s summary of the past year at ODFC.
At the next level, the Trust is able to provide a charitable umbrella for small local initiatives which negates the need for such projects to seek their own charitable status: the Trust can then also provide appropriate governance, insurance cover, meeting facilities, and sometimes financial support but leave the Project to otherwise manage itself. Within this second category the Trust continues to support the Hope Garden Project led by Mary Carroll who is also now a Trustee and has, again, supported the wider work of the Trust in various ways.
Finally, at the third level, the Trust seeks to support other local projects which nevertheless remain separate entities: in recent years, for instance, the Trust has reestablished its historical relationship with Christ Church, Sparkbrook, which originally sponsored the purchase of Azadi House in 1997 and periodically in the past has used Trust resources as a ‘vehicle’ for several small scale projects and groups. In the last year the Trust has continued to sponsor a weekly gathering of local women at Christ Church, called ‘Ladies’ Day’.
In the past the Trust’s Assistant Coordinator Tim Macleod, has provided administrative and governance support to other local projects, and this support continues to be available if required.

**Azadi Trust - Annual Report and Accounts 2020-21**
## **‘Provision of Housing Accommodation’**
The origin of the Trust’s operation is **‘Azadi House’** , located in the Sparkbrook area of south Birmingham, which is predominantly populated by ethnic minorities, particularly South Asians. The House, having been partly used for the Trust’s community activities in the past, is now effectively a residential home, and continues to provide secure tenancies for up to five single men, some of whom have been residents for many years. The House also has a small extra 'guest room' which can be used to accommodate friends or relatives of the residents or for short-term, temporary accommodation for others.
A year ago, the future of Azadi House was somewhat in the balance in that it only had three residents with no immediate prospect of any suitable new ones: the existing residents, two of whom were ‘vulnerable’, were also having a hard time living with Covid restrictions. Only having three residents also meant that the house was running at a loss, and we were faced with the need to carry out major renovations without the apparent means to do so, and parts of the House were seriously in need of redecoration. However, we were able to complete the major part of the renovations courtesy of an unexpected HM Government grant and generous donations from some individuals, while an erstwhile friend of Azadi House contributed many man-hours and finance to upgrade some of the décor. A new finance plan and one new resident has meant that the House finances have been on a much more even keel recently.
For the future: recent legislation means that Azadi House has now become effectively a ‘House in Multiple Occupancy’, and we have started the process of seeking planning permission and then the formal licencing which has to be completed before we can take in more than four residents: this process is time-consuming and expensive, but hopefully will be completed in 2022. One of our existing residents will be moving on in late 2021, so we are praying for a ‘new guy’ who will come in and be a positive addition to the House community and also to the wider Sparkbrook community.
## **‘Serving the Local Community – especially the Disadvantaged’**
In respect of the work of the **'Open Door Friendship Centre'** over the last year, Tim Steele writes:
"Open Door Friendship Centre seeks to be a welcoming place for local people of all faiths to meet and have their needs met. It provides a base for outreach and service to the local communities of Small Heath and Bordesley Green, as well as the opportunity to foster friendships between people of diverse backgrounds. Examples of regular activities include: teaching English, sewing and computing; providing social advice; and attending drop-in times.
Over the last year, there have inevitably been a lot of adaptations because of the pandemic, and volunteer availability in particular has been affected. Covid has also restricted English classes to online only until fairly recently. With the women's classes restarting, it is good to see more interest being generated in other activities that are going on here. One thing that has continued throughout, however, is giving advice and form-filling. In this respect we have helped people in all manner of things: appeasing bailiffs, finding special school places, assisting people find housing, DWP appeals and paying parking fines, and much more. We stayed open throughout the summer of 2020 with a once a week holiday club for local children and a day long football camp for local teenagers. There have been a number of volunteers temporarily involved in these activities and also some new volunteers committing to one day for the next year or two. There is still ongoing need for volunteers to help with the men's drop-in, job club, ladies' baking and sewing, as well as two after school clubs for children and young people.
This years’ accounts show that ODFC continues to have a steady regular income from several sources. There have been no excessive demands on expenditure. The Government Small Business Grant received in the early part of 2020 has enabled us to create a reserve fund and provide additional financial support for the Centre manager.

## **Azadi Trust - Annual Report and Accounts 2020-21**
**Hope Garden Project** , based in Sparkbrook close to Azadi House, offers therapeutic support to destitute failed asylum seekers and other isolated individuals through the medium of gardening and various social activities. Mary Carroll writes:
“For most of us it has been a ‘year like no other’ so no surprise that the Garden group saw many changes during the lockdown year!
Initially, when we were prevented from meeting, we took deliveries of compost and seeds round to our members for Growing At Home and they delighted us with pictures of their efforts on WhatsApp . We also implemented ‘Walking In The Park’, as the summer of 2020 progressed, and undertook socially distanced walks together in Cannon Hill , Handsworth and Farm Park.
Over the winter we continued to make deliveries including ‘Christmas In A Bag’ to every member. This brought great delight as it even included a mini tree that could be planted out or kept in a pot. We also tried out group WhatsApp calls to keep everyone connected which sparked a lot of laughter as we got to grips (or not!) with the technology And the spring saw us back ‘in the park’ this time around Kings Heath - both Highbury and then Kings Heath Park with their varied delights .
As April came, the access issues at our original site had become difficult and for our disabled members, unsustainable. We have therefore moved to a nearby underused community space called The Peace Garden where we have since enjoyed harvest aplenty . We have also enjoyed a day out by train to Worcester to see the elephants around the town and picnic by the river, and more recently a boat tour on a heritage boat to see Birmingham from the canals.
Members have continued to share the ups and downs of their lives – some receiving refugee status this year but others needing ongoing support as they experience set backs , illness and challenges.
The Hope Garden Project continues to attract significant external funding from a variety of charities and the Trust expresses its gratitude to the several charities listed as donors elsewhere in this report.
## **‘Pastoral and Financial Provision’**
A major part of the work of the Trust - Trustees, secondees and volunteers alike - is supporting both present and past residents of Azadi House pastorally as well as supporting a large number of individual contacts of its other Projects. Such pastoral support is wide-ranging and can range from purely emotional support to practical support and material provision. The latter also often includes direct financial support and applicants to the Trust’s Welfare Fund from within and outside the Projects are considered seriously where they have no recourse to statutory or charitable funds elsewhere, or inordinate delay would result from such applications. The Trust is also partnered with ACTS 435, a national Christian charity which ‘crowdfunds’ people with urgent needs. During the last year, partly because of concerns raised by the Pandemic, donations to Azadi’s Welfare Fund remained substantial as has the support from ACTS 435. Demands on the Fund have also greatly increased but thus far most requests for help have been honoured, with nearly £3000 distributed in grants over this financial year.
## **‘Provision of information about the Christian Faith.’**
Azadi Trust also, as part of its Aims and Objectives, provides materials to inform its local community about the Christian faith. The Trust, is also supported by Shiloh House Distribution, a local wholesale agent for Christian literature, and together we continue to acquire and distribute such literature in the languages common in our area of south-east Birmingham.

**Azadi Trust - Annual Report and Accounts 2020-21**
## **Financial Summary**
The Trust’s accounts are detailed on pages 9 to 14. During the accounting period 1 June 2020 – 31 May 2021 the Trust made a profit of £2,216 (after allowing for a depreciation provision of £532). This compares with the previous period’s profit of £17,037. It should be noted however that the current periods loss figure reflects one-off expenditure related to prior year Covid-19 business support grants of £20,000 relating to the Open Door Friendship Centre and Azadi House respectively.
In 2020-21 the Trust’s core income for the general fund has been rent receipts from the Azadi House tenancies, plus general and earmarked donations, which together ensure that ‘regular’ income exceeds Trust general expenditure _._ The Trust has a policy of setting aside £1,000 per annum as a reserve to provide for unforeseen essential expenditures and at the close of the year retained cash reserves of £25,000 bolstered by those Covid-19 business support grants received in May 2020. This balance together with a £5,000 rent security deposit provides financial cover for restricted fund balances for the following specific projects:
- The Open Door Friendship Centre in Small Heath, Birmingham [£1,126]
- The Hope Garden project in Sparkbrook, Birmingham [£1,021]
- The GLUE project in Sparkbrook, Birmingham (now dormant) [£133]
The Trust’s summary profit and loss and statement of assets and liabilities for the period 1 June 2020 – 31st May 2021 are detailed in the table below. Also provided for comparison is the previous accounting period of the charitable company.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Azadi Trust**
## **Charity No. 1138663. Company No. 07247132**
I report on the accounts for the 12 months to 31 May 2020 which are set out in the annual report on pages 1 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- principles of the Statement of recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
