The pages of this report reflect our practical response to the challenges that emerged during these trying times. However, beyond the words on these pages, I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire Paiwand family, including our resolute staff and the resilient community we serve, who rallied magnificently during a period of profound personal and collective stress and heartache. It is not an exaggeration to say that the political shocks in Afghanistan rocked our community to its very core, yet, despite these immense challenges, Paiwand persevered, facilitating a practical response that brought solace and support to those in need. I am more than proud of the remarkable efforts displayed by both Paiwand and our community throughout this trying chapter. While we address the urgent needs arising from the Afghan and other nationalities refugee crisis in the UK, Paiwand's ongoing work has continued unabated, as you will discover in this report. With funding secured for another year, we are charting a path to strengthen our governance and refine our strategic vision. A significant aspect of this endeavor is enhancing our ties with the community and fostering transparency in our operations. We look forward to welcoming increased opportunities for engagement and collaboration as we embark on this journey together. As we reflect on the challenges and accomplishments of the past year, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing support, resources, and hope to those we serve. Your continued support has been instrumental in our ability to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in need. Thank you for being an integral part of the Paiwand community. Warm regards, Guy Dominy www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 4 ## **Message from Director** The main theme of 2022-23 was to continue with the efforts to find answers to many questions that the large group of newly arrived refugees was asking. The dispersal of Afghan refugees into other places such as Manchester and Birmingham, give way for us to be talked about in these cities. Those who established good relationships with us said they were constantly comparing the services they were getting at their new places with what they had been getting from us in 2021-22 in the Bridging Hotels. It was flattering to see people asking us to open branches in other places in the UK, which inspired us to put more effort into recording our models of work and build foundations for a sustainable future with expansion of our services in mind. Once again, we reinforced the message of honesty and selflessness to the very community we were committed to serving. Late evenings, weekends and public holidays did not stop us from responding to emergency calls. I thank my wonderful team Especially Malik Niazi our Housing Project manager, Mohammad Iqbal our newly appointed Operations Manager, Georgia Gojkovic our Youth Manager, Dr Farooq our Mental Health Project Manager and Raziya Zarrien our Education Project Manager who put extra effort to maintain the good service our beneficiaries were entitled to. Our wonderful volunteers, who I will not name individually, were absolute stars who supported us and kept us motivated throughout the year. And finally, a big thank you to our donners and supporters who with we wouldn’t have been able to continue our services. ## Fahim Zaheen www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 5 ## **Operations & Impact** Paiwand's annual report showcases the remarkable achievements and impact on the critical areas supporting, the immigrant community, the asylumseekers, and other local communities within our operational areas.

In a world marked by shifting geopolitical landscapes and increasing global migration flows, Paiwand remains steadfast in its dedication to assisting those who seek refuge, advocating for their rights, and fostering integration within local communities. The events of the past year have tested our resolve, but they have also underscored the indispensable role Paiwand plays in addressing the complex and evolving needs of vulnerable populations. Our annual activities have revolved around meeting the urgent demands arising from the changes in the Afghan political situation, which have led to a significant increase in the number of Afghan asylum seekers seeking safety and stability. In this context, we have consistently strived to provide free immigration advice and services, advocate for essential rights such as housing, social welfare benefits, employment, and healthcare, and offer comprehensive support in the realms of mental health, education, supported accommodation, and youth engagement. The achievements we present in this report are a testament to the dedication of our team, the generosity of our supporters, the donor communities and the resilience of the individuals and families we serve. We invite you to delve into the following pages to gain insights into Paiwand's operations and the profound impact we have had on the lives of countless individuals and communities. As we navigate the complex terrain of migration and refuge, we remain unwavering in our commitment to providing hope, support, and opportunities to those who need it most.

Our Holistic Approach whereby we consider the many factors affecting a refugee or asylum seeker including knowledge of the UK, language skills, financial resources, social factors, physical and mental health, and levels of www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 10 confidence rather than just the immediate issue being presented. Most refugees and asylum seekers are suffering from depression, anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to their past experiences. In addition, cultural and language barriers, financial difficulties, poverty, homelessness or poor accommodation, and lack of employment are the main factors hindering them from rebuilding their lives and achieving their full potential. 2. Co-ordination with other support services and charities in the sector. Through this approach, we recognise and make use of the strengths of other organisations working in this sector so that we can work together towards our common purpose of supporting refugees and asylum seekers. 3. At Paiwand we shape services based primarily on "on-the-ground" demand; we believe that listening to our clients is the best way to understand their needs and how best to support them. We use quality assurance systems and feedback from those we work with to constantly improve the relevance and quality of the service we provide. 4. Paiwand provides support to all Asylum seekers, migrants, refugees, and other local vulnerable communities in our focus areas of London. They include communities who are consisting of Afghans, Iranians, Syrians, Iraqi/Kurdish, Ukrainians, and other Asian and African minority communities. The support provided are in areas of immigration advice and representation, advocacy services – housing, welfare benefits and other social benefits and entitlements, youth project, mental-health advice, supported accommodation for the young adults and education in terms of Saturday classes. 5. Over the period of the last one-year Paiwand had 40 and 26 active volunteers, almost all our volunteers are from refugee backgrounds. Our refugee volunteers collaborate with our staff and provide practical and culturally sensitive help that has made a substantial difference to the lives of the vulnerable clients we serve. In turn the volunteers get the work experience which assists them to get employment. Last year alone 10 of our volunteers were able to get paid employment. 6.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Paiwand has been doing successful fundraising and managed to put the association at the forefront of agencies funded for the year and beyond. 9. Paiwand, in line with its plan, has increased the staff capacity by hiring an operations manager in March 2023 to increase the operational efficiency and over project support and implementation. 10. Paiwand plans to review its overall strategy, in close coordination with its board of trustees and the executive officer, to revise the vision and further improve and strengthen the governance arrangements, structure and processes. **Below are the details of projects Paiwand successfully implemented during the year:** ## **Education Project** Paiwand’s education project is based and conducted at Stag Lane Primary School. The education project, being a Saturday school project, served a wide-ranging community based in Harrow and surrounding boroughs. The importance of the project is well realised by the students and their parents, which enhances their basic skills, knowledge, improves their confidence and helps them greatly in performing better at their mainstream schools. This has been clearly reflected in the excellent academic results achieved by Paiwand, utilising numerous methods to develop the students’ attainments and skills. The admission to the school was through local schools’ referrals and selfreferrals by the parents who have seen the effectiveness of the project. Paiwand remains an advocate for best practice within the supplementary schooling sector and due to its well-being of pupils has been chosen as a model school in Harrow. The education project has six highly experienced trained teachers currently working in local schools, teaching Maths, English, at Key Stages 1 and 2 supported by volunteer teaching assistants. A senior mental-health lead and music teacher from Stag Lane Primary provides music and drama classes. Numerous methods were used to focus on attainment and develop the skills of everyone. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 12 ## **Project Aim** The aim of this project is to work in partnership with voluntary organisations, local authorities, and mainstream schools to provide high quality, sustainable supplementary school provision that raises the attainment of targeted disadvantaged children in critical National Curriculum subjects, such as Maths and English, while providing support in home languages and access to extra-curricular activities, such as music and drama. Most beneficiaries are entitled to free school meals and the vast majority are from Black, Minority Ethnic and Refugee (BMER) groups. Below are the details of activities undertaken by Paiwand to achieve the project outcomes: - 89 children were enrolled for extra support in Maths and English at Stag Lane Saturday School online classes. - 68 were referred from their mainstream schools and 21 were selfreferred to the project by their parents. - Lessons were taught by a team of 6 good to outstanding UK-qualified teachers from (10-12:15) every Saturday during term time. - 3 volunteer teaching assistants provide one-to-one support for pupils who need extra support and to the class teacher. - All teaching was in line with the National Curriculum - Pupils referred to the project were identified as disadvantaged by their schools through their eligibility for free school meals or through circumstances known by the school. - 56 Parents attended termly parents’ morning. Parents had the opportunity to meet the teachers and discuss their children’s progress and were encouraged to ask questions about mainstream schools. - Special parenting session was offered to the Afghan parents. - Right Respecting School workshop was offered to all parents. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 13 The overall goal of the service has been for every child to achieve **‘good progress’** , shown in green on the pie charts below.

progress for children whose progress has not been on track. The colour coding indicates red (no progress), amber (satisfactory progress) and green (substantial progress). **80%** of children achieved this goal in Literacy and **84%** in Maths. Children who made less progress typically had lower attendance, additional support needs or EAL. This substantial progress is also reflected in children’s own attitudes about the impact of Saturday school. Achieved Some progress No progress All the pupils were identified as needing extra support in Maths and English 70% were eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). All schools chose to refer to a combination FSM and non-FSM children to focus most on those in need of academic and holistic support. Referred students were mainly of Eastern European, Somali, Afghan and Black British origin. We have also provided support to 8 children from the Afghan new arrivals joined the project in June 2022. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Reasons for those with lack of progress was identified as:** - Late enrolment - Inconsistent attendance - Lack of devices/ poor internet connection www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 14 This is the second year Paiwand has partnered with Mousetrap with the aim to use drama and performance exercises to develop children’s confidence and self-esteem. Children had music and drama sessions every Saturday and the program included drama exercises that develop communication skills, improvisation skills, to explore body language, vocal expression, teamwork, and discussion-based activities. In addition, with three specific goals: - To develop participant’s confidence to enable them to put themselves forward. Confidence building is one of the main goals at Saturday school. The wellbeing of pupils has been measured through termly questionnaires, surveys after enrichment events and case studies. Overall, Saturday School was shown to be a place where students feel secure and welcome. Many students reported that have gained confidence and made new friends in the smaller, quieter Saturday School environment. - To improve wellbeing by taking part in a fun, creative and group activity. - For the participants to be able to express themselves creatively. As part of the partnership with Mousetrap children were taken on theatre trips to Central London and they appreciated the costumes, music and set in the theatre. The skills that these children learn through participating in theatre at an early age can help them shape their confidence, hardworking and empathetic individuals. Children gained confidence by mixing with children from other schools, sometimes from communities they have not had friends from before. Our recent survey clearly demonstrated that **80%** of the students said they made new friends. In addition, many parents were motivated to enroll their children at Saturday school to help them improve their confidence by mixing with other children. We provided enrichment activities, following the feedback received from parents and schools about the benefits they were observing in children’s wellbeing. For example, that children under stress were releasing their experiences and becoming more ready to learn. In October 2021, Paiwand successfully raised £6,279.36 for music classes through donations from individuals and match funding from Young Harrow Foundation (YHF). www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 15 Last year Paiwand Saturday School became a UNICEF UK Right Respecting School. Paiwand school was one of the schools in Harrow which was selected to take part in Right Respecting pilot which was implemented by NRCSE on behalf of UNICEF. The aim is to become a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve wellbeing and develop all children’s talents and abilities to their full potential. Paiwand organised workshops for the children, staff members and parents since becoming a Rights Respecting School model, fulfilling its rights and respect in its relationships. As part of its services to parents, Paiwand supported and trained 56 parents through its parenting sessions, providing them training in areas of mental health, advocacy, and other wellbeing services. ## **Parents wrote on our comment’s book on 25[th] March 2023:** - _**“I can see a big improvement in my daughters learning keep up the good work!”**_ - _**“Very happy my child improved a lot I have seen in mainstream school report.”**_ - _**“We have two girls who joined Saturday school 2 years ago.

There have been other occasions promoting Paiwand’s Saturday school in short films and documentaries, to showcase its successful partnership with the mainstream school. After the necessary consents taken from the parents, and in close coordination with Stag Lane Primary School a documentary film was made by Media Trust RZ, highlighting the benefits to the mainstream school and the importance of partnership from the perspective of the **CASE STUDY: Building Social & Emotional and Academic Confidence:** Hi Raziya, I am writing this note to express my appreciation for all your hard work and dedication in making this Saturday School available for our children. I am so glad that I have chosen your school for my daughters, E and S since the beginning. What a wonderful journey which I hope it will continue! I must mention that at first the idea of coming to school on Saturdays was a bit hard for the girls to accept as going to school Monday to Friday should be more than enough. However, after attending just a few sessions, thanks to your leadership in creating a positive and joyful learning atmosphere across the school as well as praising the children by offering drama club at the end of Maths and English lessons, made my daughters to love attending Saturday School every week. A few days ago, E came to me so happy and proud of herself, to say that her English teacher asked her to keep her books to stimulate children in year 6 with her good work. I am a proud mum with a happy child. I would also like to then and congratulate your drama club partnership, for teaching drama to our children. Hope this will continue as you cannot imagine how happy a mother can be when the children are not stopping talking about how much fun they have. I cannot stop mentioning the trip to the famous musical Wicked which marked E and S and they will always remember that experience with joy and happiness. As a conclusion I would like to thank you again for the commitment in making Saturday School possible to our children. I want to know that we are so grateful for that. It really shows how you are doing this job for the good of children. Keep up with the good work. Best C D _Case study was provided by a parent in July 2022_ www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 17 ## **Graduation:** The graduation ceremony for 2022 was held on 16[th] July 2022. The occasion started with a performance by our music and drama pupils and was followed by prizing the pupils for their efforts to attend the school on Saturdays. All pupils have received certificates of completion to encourage and celebrate the achievement of the year. Pupils were awarded for their greatest progress, outstanding achievement, 100 percent, and best attendance. All staff and volunteers were provided with appreciation certificates for their efforts and commitment. The next graduation ceremony will be held on 15[th] July 2023 to showcase the year’s achievements. Paiwand at Stag Lane Saturday School has delivered in all key project areas in 2022-2023. Academic results were their highest to date, with evaluation systems that perfectly mirror and complement mainstream data. Numerous case studies, academic data, teachers’ assessment and parents and students’ surveys demonstrate that all pupils made progress and feel valued and supported. The teachings were all in line with the national curriculum and the teachers consistently maintained their high standards. Pupils have reported that the school improved their confidence and helped them with their mainstream schoolwork. The combination of academic support and enrichment activities had also been valued by the partner schools and parents. We were fortunate to collaborate with a team of highly experienced teachers and volunteers who continued to embrace the service. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 18 ## **Immigration Advice** Paiwand’s immigration service provides free specific and general immigration advice to immigrants and asylum seekers who live in Harrow, Brent, Barnet, and Ealing boroughs (we have also extended our services to immigrants and asylum seekers who live outside of this catchment area). We have a trained OISC Immigration Advisor that manages this service. Our team offer immigration services giving general advice and submitting applications for a range of applications including: Travel Document, Naturalisation, Indefinite Leave to Remain, Limited Leave to Remain, Family Reunion, Asylum Claim, Fresh Claim, Spouse Visa, Refugee Settlement, Passport Application, Passport Renewal, Subject Access Request, BRP replacement and other relevant services that will help clients understand their options and what steps to take next. Our Immigration team works hard to support disadvantaged refugees and their families by providing tailored immigration advice, to them create a foundation to start their life in the UK, with the same rights as everyone else. We achieve this by assessing clients’ needs and eligibility, and guiding them through the application process, supporting them every step of the way with high quality immigration advice. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 19 ## **Our Results** Between April 2022-March 2023, we registered 135 clients in total on our database. The below bar chart shows the type and number of appointments given. Paiwand advisors provided general advice to 237 individuals over the phone and over 150 inquiries on WhatsApp; these were the clients who contacted our office and were provided one-off general advice or went on to book them for a follow up appointment. In addition, Paiwand had 111 in-office and 70 telephone appointments. The below pie chart is a breakdown of our successful immigration applications. Most of them have been Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), also known as Settlement application which gives the clients stability in their status and their life as it takes many years to be eligible to apply for this status. There have been 40 applications submitted and of those 31 were successful applications. From the application results that we have received from the Home Office so far during the reporting period, 100% of them have been successful, none have been unsuccessful. There are only 8 applications still pending results. The large majority 63% of our clients are originally from Afghanistan and Iran and 76% of them speak either Farsi/Dari or Pashto. Paiwand had a diverse immigration team consisting of 2 paid staff and 8 volunteers. We had in house language support through our staff who speak Dari, Farsi, Pashto, Urdu, Arabic, Spanish and Cantonese. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 20 ## **New Arrivals:** The first barrier to social inclusion for all immigrants and asylum seeks is their immigration status. As a result of not having the right to live or work in the UK, many asylum seekers are left with feeling isolated and hopeless. Also, the constantly changing immigration laws is another cause of stress and anxiety among migrants. Our immigration service offers stability and support to our clients. Our team provides support in the community languages (Pashto/Dari/Farsi) which means our clients can understand the entire process for their applications and gives them a sense of confidence. This undoubtedly then assists with integrating the Afghan community into wider society as their immigration status becomes stable and they can work and live in the UK freely, without legal limitations. This in turn improves their quality of life and general wellbeing as they are more independent. We have also supported new arrivals during this period with their asylum claims. The chart below demonstrates the distribution of case types for the new arrivals, most of which are asylum cases. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 21 ## **Range of Services and Expansion of Activities** Paiwand immigration services ranged from face-to-face, telephone appointments, referrals to other partner organisation and publication of immigration materials on social media and other platforms. Paiwand plans to expand its immigration project by having more OISC advisors due to the high demand for immigration advice and holding more immigration events promoting awareness within the community. ## **Community Advocacy** In the vibrant tapestry of London's diverse population, refugees, migrants, asylum seekers, and diaspora communities form a vital thread. Their stories, experiences, and aspirations enrich our society. However, they often face complex challenges in navigating the systems and services of their new home. The Paiwand Community Advocacy Project is a beacon of support and empowerment, illuminating a path towards brighter prospects and amplifying the voices of these underserved communities. The Community Advocacy project works hard to empower and support the refugee, migrant, asylum seeker, and diaspora communities in London. The project provides advocacy support, including in the areas of welfare, benefits, housing, employment, translation, correspondence, and asylum, as well as raising awareness among these underserved communities about their rights and entitlements in the UK.

For these clients, the Advocacy project has been vital at a time where the strain on local authorities has meant that they have been increasingly incapable to fulfil the need for support. The new cases registered in this period have therefore required much Housing and Benefits support (100 and 92, respectively), while there has also been a need for Asylum Support (7), Employment (4), and other services. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 24 Given the Community Advocacy project’s limited capacity, and the increasing need among refugees, migrants, asylum seekers, and diaspora communities in London, the project has also increased its provision of signposting to other organisations in London. This has become a vital part of the Community Advocacy Project’s casework and has facilitated increased networking and partnerships among local organisations in the North and Northwest London area. **----- Start of picture text -----**

As a result of the Community Advocacy project’s services, the team has been able to achieve its objectives of empowering refugee, migrant, and asylum seeker communities and reducing their destitution in London. The project improved its data collection and database arrangement by working closely with Salesforce to develop a better data collection, maintenance, and analysis system. The new database will be used in the years to come. The project staff regularly attended training and refresher training sessions to keep themselves up to date on the latest changes in the benefit laws and services available to the clients. The project enhanced its collaboration with other agencies by having effective referral pathways. ## **The Advocacy Project Going Forward** The continued high demand for the Community Advocacy project’s services will need to be addressed through an expansion of Paiwand advocacy team’s capacity and resources in the year ahead. The Advocacy project has already invested time in the formation of a new CRM system on Salesforce, which is www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 25 hoped to be completed by the end of Q1 of the 2023-24 period. The new database should facilitate administration, referrals, and reporting tasks, allowing the advocacy team to dedicate more time to casework. Moreover, the team hopes to introduce new Advocacy internships and search for further funding in the new period, to increase the number of staff and resources available to the project. The Community Advocacy Project will also continue its expansion of community partnerships in London as well as expand the network of consortiums it contributes to. This is important for Paiwand to fulfil its role as a bastion for the large community of Afghan and other migrants in London and to influence policy and decision-making processes that affects refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers. It is hoped that with strengthened links with partner organisations and the continued provision of a quality advocacy service to our clients, the Community Advocacy project will grow its influence in this realm. ## _Advocacy Project Case Study:_ Client G Homelessness Client G was street homeless and visited Paiwand’s main office in October 2022, hoping to receive support. The Community Advocacy team helped G to fill out a homeless enquiry form with his council and find temporary accommodation for the night. Within a month, G was moved into his own accommodation which really improved his mental health and wellbeing, however the accommodation chosen has no basic home amenities, including a mattress, bed, chairs, lighting, stove, or fridge. The Advocacy team worked alongside G again to make a Universal Credit application to cover his new housing costs, apply for council tax exemption, and to fill out a Relief Support application and other local grants to support him to furnish his new home. A few weeks later and all the home amenities were delivered to G’s new address and G can finally rest knowing his housing and associated costs are secured. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 26 ## **Mental Health Advocacy** Paiwand continued and even expanded geographical coverage of the mental health counseling and advocacy support using Henry Smith Charity improving lives & strategic grants, and as member of HeadsUp consortium using City bridge, Comic Relief funds and funding from CNWL total number of (1070) unique individuals supported through one-to-one counseling and advocacy support, psycho-education sessions, and groups during the reporting period. ## **Summary of Main Achievements** ## **Individual counselling and psycho-education support:** Achieving its target for the year, a total number of 116 individuals enrolled in one-toone counselling for the projects.

At Paiwand, we understand that the youth of today represent the future of our communities. To empower and support these young individuals on their journey to becoming tomorrow's leaders, we have established the Paiwand Youth Project, a dynamic initiative that provides a platform for personal growth, skill development, and holistic enrichment. **Capacity Building:** The cornerstone of the Paiwand Youth Project continued to be capacity building. We believe in equipping young people with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Through workshops, training sessions, and mentorship programs, we helped them to develop essential life skills, enhance their educational and vocational prospects, and build the confidence they need to achieve their dreams. ## **Entertainment, Drama, and Arts:** Paiwand recognises the power of creativity and self-expression in young minds. Our project offered a vibrant platform for artistic exploration. From drama and theatre workshops that encouraged selfconfidence and public speaking skills to opportunities to express themselves through various art forms, we aimed to foster a lifelong appreciation for the arts. **Sporting Activities:** Healthy bodies lead to healthy minds. Sports are not just about physical fitness; they teach teamwork, discipline, and resilience. The Paiwand Youth Project included regular sporting activities, such as football, tennis and cricket, where our youth could come together, bond, and grow while having fun. These activities also promoted a sense of belonging and community. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 32 **Outings and Tours:** Experiential learning is a fundamental aspect of our program. We organised outings and tours to expose our youth to new experiences, cultures, and ideas. These adventures not only broadened their horizons but also helped them appreciate diversity and built a more inclusive outlook. _Paiwand’s commitment to the youth within the community is a testament to our belief that every young person possesses unique talents and potential. We aim to create a nurturing environment that allows them to discover their_ strengths, develop critical life skills, and form lasting friendships. As we invested in the growth of our youth, we were sowing the seeds of a brighter, more inclusive future. The Paiwand Youth Project is not just about today or yesterday; it's about shaping tomorrow's leaders who will make a positive impact on their communities and the world at large. Together, we are building a brighter future, one young person at a time. ## **The activities** The youth project started Paiwand clubs’ activities working closely with the Newmans Catholic College at Brent and the Harrow College at Harrow. The project’s Football and Cricket activities continued to be held in Harrow and Ealing with the Art, Drama and Games Club established at Ealing. In addition to the above, Paiwand has partnered with a Mentoring provider and made referrals to them as part of the project activities. In addition, the project staff were engaged with two Refugee Hotels, in central London and in Hackney. Regular fun and game activities were provided to their children and an end party were organised as part of entertainment and better interaction www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 33 among the residents. The Project managed to deliver a big Eid party in Acton, attended largely by the members of the local community. The Youth Project has been in constant touch with social services and other refugee organisation who work with minors. During these interactions, new unaccompanied minors have been introduced to Paiwand activities and in many cases have needed a lot of contact and assessing to facilitate this. ## **Outputs** The projected target set for the Youth Project was 750 young people served over a period of three years, 250 young people to engage per annum. The project was able to exceed its target by 213 young people.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **a) Basis of Prepara�on** Recommended Prac�ce applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102-effec�ve 1 January 2016)-(Chari�es SORP FRS 102) and the Company Act 2006. recognised at historical cost or transac�on value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accoun�ng policy or note. ## **b) Reconcilia�on With Previously Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce (GAAP)** In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accoun�ng policies required by FRS 102 & the Chari�es SORP FRS 102 a restatement of compara�ve items was required. The transi�on date was 1 January 2015. At the date of transi�on in applying the requirement to recognise liabili�es arising from employee benefits, a liability was recognised for short-term compensated absence arising from employee en�tlement to paid annual leave. The ini�al liability recognised at the date of transi�on was for the holiday en�tlement carried forward and for the en�tlement arising in the year which was due but not taken. The ini�al liability was for £X. No other restatements were required. ## **c) Going Concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertain�es about the charitable company's ability to con�nue as a going concern. Key judgement that the charitable company has made which have a significant effect on the accounts include (es�ma�ng the liability from mul�-year grant commitments). The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of es�ma�on uncertainty at the repor�ng data that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabili�es within the next repor�ng period. ## **d) Income** Income is recognised when the charity has en�tlement to the funds, any performance condi�ons atached to the income have been met, It is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income from government and other grants, whether ' capital grant' or 'revenue grant', is recognised when the charity has en�tlement to the funds, any performance condi�ons atached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred un�l the criteria for income recogni�on are met. For legacies, en�tlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and no�fica�on has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribu�on will be made, or when a distribu�on is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the charity has been no�fied of the executor’s inten�on to make a distribu�on. Where legacies have been no�fied to the charity, or the charity is aware of the gran�ng of probate, and the criteria for income recogni�on have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a con�ngent asset and disclosed if material. ## **e) Dona�ons of Gi�s, Services and Facili�es** Donated professional services and donated facili�es are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any condi�ons associated with the dona�on have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discre�on to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are dona�ons which the donor has specified are to be solely used for par�cular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. ## **h) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or construc�ve obliga�on to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that setlement will be required, and the amount of the obliga�on can be measured reliably. - 1: Costs of raising funds comprise of trading costs and the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third par�es to make voluntary contribu�ons to it, as well as the cost of any ac�vi�es with a fundraising purpose. - 2: Expenditure on charitable ac�vi�es includes the costs of delivering services, exhibi�ons and other educa�onal ac�vi�es undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. - 3: Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the ac�vity for which the expenditure was incurred. ## **i) Alloca�on of Support Costs** Support costs are those func�ons that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable ac�vi�es. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the trust's ac�vi�es. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable ac�vi�es. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5. ## **j) Opera�ng Lease** Rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ## **k) Investment Proper�es** Investment proper�es are included in the balance sheet at fair value and are not depreciated. Any change in fair value is recognised in the statement of financial ac�vi�es. The valua�on method used to determine fair value will be stated in the notes to the accounts. ## **Listed Investment** subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial ac�vi�es. ## **L) Stocks** Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market. ## **m) Account Receivables (Debtors)** are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **n) Cash at Bank and in Hand** Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisi�on or opening of the deposit or similar account. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 40 ## **o) Accounts Payables (Creditors & Provisions)** Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obliga�on resul�ng from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to setle the obliga�on can be measured es�mated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their setlement amount a�er allowing for any trade discounts due. ## **p) Financial Instrument** financial instruments are ini�ally recognised at transac�on value and subsequently measured at their setlement value with the excep�on of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amor�sed cost using the effec�ve interest method. ## **q) Pensions** The Charity does auto enrol all its employee who falls under Pension Regulator Guidelines and enrols to NEST Pension. It also contributes toward other private pension such as L & G Sco�sh Widows etc. ## **r) Tangible Fixed Assets** over their es�mated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows: - Leasehold property (straight line basis) 8% - • Office Fixture & Fi�ngs 25% • Technological Equipment 33% • Sports & Music Equipment 25% ## **s) Leasing and hire purchase commitments** other leases are classified as opera�ng leases. The rights of use and obliga�ons under finance leases are ini�ally recognised as assets and liabili�es at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are appor�oned between the finance charge and the reduc�on in the outstanding liability using the effec�ve interest rate method. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the company's policy for tangible fixed assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained at the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the lower of the lease term and its useful life.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees must prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - a. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - b. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - c. make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - d. state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - e. prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue to operate. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Companies Act 2006) of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 49 ## **Independent auditor’s report** ## **Afghan Association Paiwand Limited Independent auditor’s report For the year ended 31 March 2023** We have audited the financial statements of Afghan Association Paiwand Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise a Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. ## **Opinion on financial statements** ## In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March - 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted - Accounting Practice (applicable to smaller entities); and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. ## **Basis for the Opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs UK) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## **Conclusions Relating to going Concern** In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustee's use of going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant section of this report. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 50 ## **Other Information** The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statement does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or out knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. ## **Respective responsibilities of the directors and auditors** As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement set on page 48, the board is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern basis of accounting unless the board either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so. ## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.fec.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. ## **Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:- - The information given in the Trustees' report which includes the Directors' Report - prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements’ and - The Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal - requirements. ## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 51 - adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have - not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. - The Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements with the small - companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the Report of the Trustees. ## **Responsibilities of trustees** As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement [set out on page 48][1] the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. ## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Companies Act 2006; Financial Reporting Standard 102; Charities Act 2011; UK employment legislation; UK health and safety legislation; General Data Protection Regulations We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. We understood how the charitable company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries to management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures. The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise noncompliance with laws and regulations. The assessment did not identify any issues in this area. www.paiwand.com Annual Report 2022 - 2023 52 We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: Identifying and assessing the measures management has in place to prevent and detect fraud. Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process, Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates, and Identifying and testing journal entries in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noncompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
