This annual review serves as both a celebration of our activities and a testament to the resilience and dedication of our team. One of the ongoing challenges we continue to face is the search for high-quality care staff. The care sector has seen unprecedented difficulties, particularly considering the continuing cost-of-living crisis. However, it is in times like these where our team, under the outstanding leadership of Zeenat Jeewa, CEO, has truly excelled in delivering the much-needed services for our Daycare and Homecare Service Users, Carers and families. Zeenat has tirelessly championed for our service users while ensuring that our staff feel supported and valued. Zeenat and our staff team have exhibited relentless determination and resourcefulness this year. Through sheer hard work, they have successfully secured numerous grants and projects. I myself had been involved in Race Equality Foundation Projects, one of which was the Peer Engagement working alongside fellow delivery partners Bridge the Gap studios, The Motherhood Group, Croydon BME Forum on developing a new Anti-Rasim Practice Learning Hub for the Great London Authority. This new project was part of the Mayor's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy to help in creating a fairer and more equal city. The rest of our annual report will give you more detailed information on the activities from each service and areas of our work. For me, the main highlights for this year are APDA's involvement in various projects as mentioned and the celebrations at our Centre. I am fortunate to attend and be part of, seeing our service user’s happy faces taking part in the dance and music. I extend my gratitude to everyone who has supported APDA over the past year, your contributions have significantly impacted APDA’s essential mission to enhance the lives of elderly and disabled individuals whether through volunteering, donations, event attendance, or partnerships. I eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration to empower people with disabilities, enabling them to lead joyful, healthy, and fulfilling lives in what is expected to be a pivotal year of prospect. Mr. Pradip Shah, Chairperson ## **Chief Executive Ms. Zeenat Jeewa overview of the year** Warm welcome to you all for the annual overview of our activities and achievements. This report will hopefully provide insight into some of the important and influential research, policy, campaigns and achievements we secured to help ensure Disabled people’s voices are heard across a range of priority issues affecting our lives, while also balancing the need to ensure disabled people are seen and active in their local communities. Our activities for 2023-2024 show our continued commitment to and passion for supporting London’s Pan Asian Disabled communities to be thriving and included. APDA has worked hard to facilitate people to become empowered within our diverse communities, to create the change we need. In this annual report we use the term Disabled people to mean all groups of people living with impairments and conditions including: People with physical impairments; People with visual impairments; Deaf people; People with hearing impairment; People with learning Ms. Zeenat Jeewa, CEO difficulties. We do recognise and respect that some of the groups (in our definition) may not think of themselves as being disabled. As you will see in this report, APDA continued to develop and deliver a range of vital care and social support to over 300 Deaf and Disabled people in London. Despite the continuing challenges of the financial austerity and cost of living crisis, we delivered more support than ever before to disabled Londoners from diverse ethnic heritage, including running and supporting disabled people to attend consultations, webinars, briefings, performances and events and peer networks, forums and partnership meetings over the year. Zeenat Jeewa, CEO attending Royal Free Hospital Foundation Trust meeting This work we have done is exciting but also essential in Hospital Foundation Trust meeting the face of the increasing structural inequalities in health, social care and the wider aspects of our society that our communities and organisation are facing. Our key challenge over the year was to continue our work on priority issues like social care charging, unfair care decision, independent living and welfare reform as well as health inequalities that arose and became evident as a result or relating to the pandemic and the after affects with the cost of living crisis. ## **Key Development & Successes** We successfully implemented a web-based advice Chatbot for social care queries, developed in conjunction with Access Social Care, to meet the needs of our user base. The online tool will develop a template letter which has successfully been used by individuals and advisors within our organisation and the wider communities we serve to challenge financial and care assessments and substantively reduce care charges. This new function supported our existing advice service which we provide free of charge to those disabled members of society in and around the UK. Research meeting with Access Social Care We were very pleased this year to have been rewarded with a renewal for a further 2 more years for our accreditation at Advice level with AQS. We were able to engage and develop our processes and passed the renewal process with AQS in February 2024. The retaining of the accreditation is very much an achievement during these difficult financial times. It will enable us to continue delivering the much-needed advice support to our users and the wider public who struggle to navigate the complex care system. We continued to work with charitable organisations and local authority departments to increase awareness and advocate for disability as a social justice/human rights issue and the unique role and contribution that DDPOs make as distinct from non user-led disability charities. We joined local health and wellbeing boards and Alliances to ensure the voices of Asian Disabled people are not forgotten. Community Engagement Officers from Brent Partnerships Housing & Resident Services We collaborated with disabled Londoners in completing an access audit of a patients journey with The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. This incorporated an audit of their website, patient portal and their larger physical hospital sites of The Royal Free Hospital, Hamstead, Barnet Hospital and Chase Farm Hospital, Enfield. This important piece of work ensured that more disabled people can be better supported by a large Secondary care provider in London, making their services and support more accessible and meeting the needs of the diverse communities they serve. We worked in partnership with Race Equality Foundation alongside other third sector organisations developing an Anti-racism Learning Hub with GLA on their Health Inequalities Strategy Plan. This involved peer collaboration and workshops to feed into the final report recommendations to the Mayor of London’s team. Workshop on developing anti-racism learning hub partnering with Race Equality Foundation (REF) We delivered over 24,535 hours of care through our direct delivery services of day opportunities and 14,650 hours through our bespoke CQC registered homecare support provision. We provided over 20,000 miles of accessible journeys through the year with our accessible minibuses as part of our Transport offer to Disabled Londoners who access our daycare opportunities. We delivered on our programme for more social presence by offering day visits to places of interest locally and around the UK to Asian Disabled people and their Carers. This included Zoo’s, Museums, Farms and other cultural heritage sites throughout the year. Service Users and Carers at Garson Farm fruit picking We have continued to work alongside other DPPO’s, and community interest organisations and Government departments, through the year and we wish to thank them for their support and collaborative work with APDA. These are including, but not limited to Jaspal Foundation, Oshwal Association of the UK, Disability Rights UK, Race Equality Foundation, National Survivor User Network (NSUN), Step Change Studios, London Design Museum, Vallance Sports Association, Inclusion London, NHS England, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, London Borough of Brent, London Borough of Harrow, Transport For ALL, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Transport For London, McVitie’s London. Royal Free Hospital London NHS Foundation Trust – Audit Project We hope readers will appreciate from our service area activities, the real value in our specialist support work and our trusted reach to those communities facing the harshest inequalities, often with various intersectional barriers faced every day. Without the holistic approach from our staff team members, we know that many disabled Asian Londoners and those around the UK would feel even more isolated and unheard, this is why it is vital that our organisation is sustainable to continue to provide that support and intervention for those most at risk in our communities. Community Engagement with staff members Kweku and Yasmin-Farida In the year to come, we will continue to fight those battles and advocate for those who cannot do so alone, and we will make those campaigns our priority, so that more disabled Asian members of the diverse communities we support can be heard and seen. We look forward to what the new year brings, with the hope that our work and commitment will show through in the achievements we make in the months ahead. With my very best wishes, Zeenat Jeewa (CEO) ## **Our Aims and Objective** Asian People’s Disability Alliance (APDA) was established in London, UK over 30 years ago, as a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO) to provide culturally specific care for the Asian elderly and disabled community. It was set up by those who were themselves disabled and therefore had an in-depth knowledge and personal experience of disability and care. There was very little appropriate support and limited understanding of their needs at that time. • Help incorporate the specific needs of APDA’s client group in relation to service planning and areas that affect their lives. - Provide consultation, peer support - and facilitate their social development. • Link with the Developing World allowing us to share knowledge, experience and current disability attributes that assist and enrich socio-economic development. ## **Our Current Provisions** ## **Daycare** APDA is a non-governmental and nondenominational organisation. Our aims are: • To provide a needs and user-led culturally appropriate service. • To collaborate and work in partnership with service planners and mainstream support bodies. • To act as a resource for disabled people, their carers and their families. - To collaborate and work with our - disabled peers in the developing world. Why we have these Aims and Objectives We have these aims and objectives so that we can: • Reach out where mainstream services cannot reach due to lack of expertise and understanding of disabled people, their carers and families. Inclusive activities aimed at improving existing skills, developing new skills, and promoting social development. Our Day Care Centre is: - Accredited with local authorities - • Fully accessible and fully equipped for users with mixed disabilities - The only centre within the locality - supporting Asian service users - Our service is very popular in the - local community - The four-strand provision - i) Home Support: Within the service user’s home; telephone contact; face to face activities and support ii) Virtual: Online activities, learning and support, and virtual meetings iii) Community: Within safe spaces in the local community and outings to places of interest iv) Centre: Activities delivered safely in each organization’s buildings ## **Home care and Respite** Our services are: - Efficient and effective - Regulated by the Care Quality - Commission (CQC) - Designed to meet the needs and - concerns of both users and purchasers • User-centered and completely needs-led Our services enable users to: - Continue to live in the community - • Reduce inappropriate hospitalization - Give priority to the needs of carers - and their families, who are usually poorly supported • Cultural events and outings- We help provide social contact our service users need • Various Therapies- We engage our users through various therapies including exercise, yoga, multi-sport sessions, Asian music therapy, and arts and crafts • ICT Skilling- Provide support in understanding technology to give service users and their families a gateway into the world beyond their homes • Campaigns and Policy- Collaborating with external organisations and agencies to raise awareness about barriers for Asian disabled people in the UK and the developing world. ## **Other Services** • Befriending- as a growing number of elderly and disabled Asian people find themselves isolated at home and in the community, Befriending enables them to retain their independence and identity • Information, advice, and guidanceMany of our service users and their families need assistance accessing the support that is available in a multi-lingual format • Advocacy- A support service to provide representation if needed in matters related to care support, housing needs and medical care • Independent living skills- With support, help and encouragement we help service users with disabilities to continue living independently at home ## **Daycare** ## **Highlights of the Year at Daycare Centre** The year 2023 to 2024, was an eventful and delivery packed period for Asian People’s Disability Alliance (APDA) and its service users. The activities, events and programmes as always have been inclusive and diverse, bringing joy, fun and had a positive impact on the mental and physical health of service users, staff and families. Activities and programmes were delivered internally in our accessible, safe and socially enriching Centre in Harlesden, North West London and externally through our community engagement activities both in East London and Brent to reflect our core values of reducing social isolation, promoting care, friendship and a support network, as well as ensuring diversity of activities, that enrich the lives of service users through community engagement programmes not forgetting the much needed respite their families and carers yearn for. At the main Daycare we observed our annual special events, Mental Health Awareness week, Eid-Ul-Fitr, Baisaki, Sinhalese New Year, Songkran (Water Festival), Carers Week, Vallance Sports Day in East London, Brent Sports Day, UN International Day of Older People, UN International Day of Disabilities, Diwali, Annual General Meeting (AGM), Christmas, Chinese New Year, Holi, Easter and International Women’s Day and many more. This year was especially special as we celebrated the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III (more details on the next page). We were thrilled to announce the New Minibus Launch of our Latest Addition- a specially designed minibus catering to the needs of our beloved disabled and older service users. This attainment wouldn't have been possible without the support of our generous donors, Jasper Foundation and Oshwal Association UK. Office and Daycare staff enjoyed a day out in August, bonding at Up at the O2 in Greenwich climbing the Millennium Dome taking in the 360-degree view of Greenwich, Olympic Park and the surrounding area. This team building exercise helped us get to know each other more and strengthen relationships among staff members. ## **Day Centre Programmes** The year started brilliantly with our usual sessions in Yoga, Dosti dance, Inclusive dance, our Music and karaoke sessions and chat and chai sessions throughout the week. Service users also enjoyed their sessions in arts and crafts, painting, and jigsaw puzzles which provided an excellent platform for mental and physical stimulation. We continued with our weekly programme of choreographed dance & movement sequence sessions with Georgia Cornwall from Step Change Studio, who are long standing delivery partners of APDA. These sessions are both training and practice sessions and Georgia trained service users in specific dance movements. Service users using learned skills to perform at selected events and functions. We also have the pleasure of our dance Therapist, Binal Trivedy using traditional and modern Bollywood music to get the service users to move their bodies. These activities not only focused on physical health but also encouraged creativity and self-expression, making a profound impact on our service users' overall wellness. Adapted Yoga exercises were part of the weekly activities that helped improve the mental and physical wellbeing of Service Users and not forgetting the popular music and karaoke session led by renowned music therapist Narayanan. Our weekly activities also include exercise routine with Thai music in the mornings and arts and craft sessions in the afternoons with staff member Ms. Noo. In the Summer when the weather permits, we go out to the allotment in the sunshine. ## **Increase in New Clients** We welcomed into the APDA family a few new service users ranging from individuals who desired to engage in social activities in order to prevent being socially isolated, to those who struggle with mental and physical health problems as well as those who have been diagnosed with noncomplex dementia. Data and information on our new service users show that they are 40% male and 60% female representation, and they all settled into our fold within a couple of weeks. ## **Events, Birthdays and other Cultural Celebrations** This year we had the pleasure of celebrating EidUl-Fitr alongside the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. We had performances by talented visually impaired musicians Ghow Ratnarajah and Ziad, who masterfully presented a special duet featuring cultural songs from Tunisia and Lebanon. In addition, APDA’s wonderful Muskaan dance group, comprised of both service users and staff, delivered a vibrant and spellbinding performance. Distinguished guests graced the occasion, including Cllr. Abdi Aden, the Mayor of Brent, who expressed his profound connection to APDA and their shared vision of supporting disabled and elderly individuals within the community. Former Mayor of Harrow Cllr. Ghazanfar Ali and Former Mayor of Brent Cllr. Arshad Mahmood and the Brent Council Partnership Engagement team join in the celebration. At the end of the year, we orchestrated a highly successful event commemorating the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities and Diwali together. The gathering was graced by the presence of Councillor Bhagwanji Chohan and the Brent Interim Director of Communication, Ms. Kibibi Octave, accompanied by her dedicated team members Renata Azar and Danica Sharan. We had the pleasure of performances from Ghow Ratnarajah and Uttara Joshi, who are visually impaired performers playing traditional instrument and dance to our audience. The service users and staff including guests enjoyed their Diwali Dance lead by Binal Trivedy (Binal Dance Academy), and a choreographed dance by Georgia Cornwell from Step Change Studios. This event served as a unifying platform, bringing together diverse communities to honour the significance of the day. In support of UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities Staff created poster of the UN Sustainable Development Goals to show support for the goals and hope they will be achieved in the future. It’s an APDA family tradition to celebrate the birthday of it’s service users and this continued this year with cake cutting and celebrations almost every month, sometimes group celebrations due to the sheer numbers. Throughout the year service users engaged in many events and activities including taking part in sports day and fun activities at the John Billam Resource Centre. Our service users exhibited their sporting talents and competitiveness. Service User’s also took part in Disability Sports Day organised by Vallance Sport Association at the Mile End Leisure Centre. We gratefully acknowledge Councillor Maium Talukdar, Councillor Jahed Choudhury, and London Assembly Member (GLA) Unmesh Desai for encouraging our service users. Vallance Sports Day in Mile End APDA’s partnership programme with UCLA continued, Service Users and Staff welcomed first and second year Medical students from the University. They attended sessioned to interact and observe activities at the centre and how they impact on the wellbeing of service users. They participated in adapted yoga exercises and other programmes with service users. They engaged with staff and selected service users in a feedback session asking questions and gaining understanding of the social prescription model of health delivery. The centre hosted 5 batches of the Medical students over several weeks and look forward to hosting them again next year. ## **Outings and Summer Trips** **----- Start of picture text -----**

All these activities are carefully planned with accessibility in mind and importantly exploring ways service users can engage with wider society and the public and to provide support for them to overcome barriers encountered. ## **Community Engagements** Our Day Care team participated in the Brent daycare forums which serves as a vital platform to engage with social workers, local authorities, and other stakeholders within the community. It underscored the importance of collaboration and communication in addressing the needs of vulnerable people within the communities and a platform to raise concerns with the current delivery arrangements in this care delivery services which involve transportation, payment arrangements for service users, referral processes, safeguarding and local authority support. Our primary focus in participating in these forums is to enhance the quality of day care services and support available to families and individuals in the Brent community and to provide respite for families and carers. The forums provided an invaluable opportunity to share knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions aimed at improving the lives of those who rely on daycare facilities. Muskaan Dance Team has been invited to take part in numerous performances over the year, to include taken part in the Design Museum Saree Exhibition, National BME Health and Care Awards, and Brent Dementia Awareness Event. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Our service now provides care for over 25 clients and 20 staff delivering an average of 1100 hours of service per month. A massive thank you to our homecare staff for providing a vital service to the community 7 days a week, whatever the weather. ## **Development** The unit applied for a variety of funds, including the Brent Council’s Love Where You Live grant, which supports initiatives in the community that improves residents’ well-being. Others include the GSK Impact awards and the EDI Training for Bus Operator StaffAccompanied journeys request for proposals (RFP), a TFL effort aimed at studying the challenges that disabled people face when using TFL bus services in London through actual life observations where selected disabled facilitators use bus services from bus stops to other designated locations. The business development section will continue to engage in marketing activities and currently working on grant applications from The Community Organisations Cost of living fund and a small grants programme from Sport England. The BD section will work with the CEO to start the initial steps for the effort to establish a short-stay respite care home, including exploring the possibility of applying for funding from the Community Ownership fund. Using a list of funders compiled into projects supported, we will continue to work on targeted grant applications. Unit will work to increase its collaborations with both local authorities in health and social care, to include Tower Hamlets, Harrow and Brent Councils to boost the number of potential service users from these boroughs and extend our reach and support to their residents. Business development will also work on enhancing our relationships with media organisations and expanding our cooperation with them in order to promote awareness on health and care issues affecting the Asian communities we serve. Alongside, raising understanding of our organisation’s work programmes and events more broadly. The last was a publication titled "Culturally Sensitive Care is not an optional extra" which highlighted the issues with the current lack of understanding of the needs of people with learning disabilities and disabled people. This year has seen a number of publications in the Garavi Gujarati and Eastern Eye newspapers as well as on their online platforms. ## **Advice and Advocacy** We began our working relationship with Access Social Care to develop more suitable care advice support in 2022 and we have continued in 2023 with workshops and training for domiciliary care staff to train them in helping their clients. We are pleased to have developed a bespoke chatbot to cater for our service users needs and continue to work with them to develop it further. We were thrilled to start the new service, with an official launch of our brand new chatbot on our website www.apda.org.uk named “Rashmi.” The launch was on 5[th] July 2023 on our social media. The Chatbot is to assist with accessible advice to identify people’s legal rights in social care. We still continue to accept more cases and have received many excellent feedback on this, which shows the dire need of this service to disabled people across the UK. ## **East London Project** ## **Going strong year on year** Our year was packed with productive activities that brought our community ladies closer together. We started Spring 2023 with our regular exercise and yoga sessions, keeping the ladies active and serene. May brought a beautiful celebration of Eid, where we came together for a joyful party marking the end of Ramadan with lots of lovely food. Summer continued to be vibrant with a six-week Bollywood dance session, adding rhythm and energy to the lady’s day and were so popular that we brought them back for another six-week block in January 2024. Summer 2023 also saw our efforts to foster inclusivity, with an enlightening AntiRacism workshop presented by the Race Equality Foundation. The ladies gained invaluable insights and support from the staff's advice. Our International Women’s Day celebrations in 2024 were empowering and inspiring. We rejoiced in the achievements and strength of women, creating unforgettable memories. We also celebrated International Day for Older Persons giving a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the wisdom, contributions, and vibrant lives of our elder ladies, fostering a deeper sense of community and appreciation for all generations. We held our stall and supported disabled Londoners attending the Vallance Disability Sports Day in June 2023, sharing all the work that we do with the local community and showing our support for the remarkable talents and determination of all the competitors. From fitness and dance to meaningful workshops and celebrations, this year has been a testament to our community lady’s continued strength and vibrancy. ## **What we received this year:** |**Income**|| |---|---| |Daycare|£404,323.00| |Homecare|£248,873.00| |Donations and Grants|£19,016.00| |InvestmentIncome|£5,355.00| |**Total Income**|**£677,567.00**| ## **What we spent this year:** |**Expenditure**|| |---|---| |Daycare|£264,272.00| |Homecare|£331,167.00| |Development Project|£21,624.00| |Grants Project|£110.00| |Goverance|£68,575.00| |**Total Income**|**£685,748.00**| ## **MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE** ## **Office Holders** ## **Other Committee Members** Mr Pradip Shah – Chairperson Mr Azahim Mohamed (Vice Chair) Mr Ashok Chabria – Secretary Mr Jazal Marzook Miss Rekha Mehta – Joint Treasurer Mr Daya Lekamwattage Mrs Kawal Singh OBE Mrs Amina Mullah ## **STAFF MEMBERS** ## **Operations Team** Zeenat Jeewa – CEO Fareeda Issace – Finance/HR Silva Lau – Accounts Officer/Operations Ayesha Khapedi – Day Care Leader Rajia Begum – Homecare Leader (April 23 to May 23) Sumaiya Cassim – Homecare Leader (June 23 onwards) Kweku Benefo – Development Manager Yasmin Rahman – Outreach Officer East ## **Day Care Team** Alpa Patel Arpita Shah Hasina Ahmed Monica Dobrican Arif Sheikh Dhruvi Shah Hitesh Jagda Rung Arung-O’Donell (Noo) ## **ACKNOWLEDGMENTS** We appreciate all the organisations and individuals who support our work and would like to thank some below for all the valuable support, assistance and funding this year.
