BECA TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30[th] September 2022

The Organisation’s objectives continue to advance, in London, the education of children and Youth empowerment, promoting social welfare, cultural activities and provision of spiritual guidance.

Key activities and achievements within this period include:

 Engaging with the wider community more effectively and reaching out to other community groups and organisations such as Peckham Citizens, Southwark Muslim Forum, and the Southwark interfaith.
 Providing space and facilities for members of the community for meetings, weddings, funeral services naming ceremonies and cultural celebrations
 Organising and providing iftar for the community, throughout the period of Ramadan, thereby encouraging unity, fostering love, and helping brothers and sisters preserve their culture and identity.
 Organising Eid festivals and celebrations for families and children successfully with a record number of attendees who gave excellent feedback.
 provided essential services to support the community
 Supplementary school for children from 5 – 16 on evening and weekends
 Adult Classes -
 Monthly meetings and lectures/seminars
 Counselling
 Bereavement support
 Mediation
 Hajj support service
 Advice and Guidance
 Work experience and volunteer training
 Established links, networks and partnerships with local and national communities and organisations

Current Achievement: the charity has acquired a new property at 170 New cross

Challenges

 Limited resources both financial and human
 Restricted access to the current centre
 Scarcity of suitable alternative premises

Future plans

 Extension of the Current Core Service.
 Strive to secure a new and bigger building to accommodate our growing congregation, educational service, and cultural events calendar.
 Promote the BECA brand more widely through a new website.
 Try new methods to achieve effective outreach across the community we serve; and
 (Longer-term) Explore extension of service to other communities and regions within the United Kingdom.

 Providing space and facilities for members of the community for meetings, weddings, funeral services naming ceremonies and cultural celebrations
 Organising and providing iftar for the community, throughout the period of Ramadan, thereby encouraging unity, fostering love, and helping brothers and sisters preserve their culture and identity.
 Organising Eid festivals and celebrations for families and children successfully with a record number of attendees who gave excellent feedback.
 provided essential services to support the community
 Supplementary school for children from 5 – 16 on evening and weekends
 Adult Classes -
 Monthly meetings and lectures/seminars
 Counselling
 Bereavement support
 Mediation
 Hajj support service
 Advice and Guidance
 Work experience and volunteer training
 Established links, networks and partnerships with local and national communities and organisations

Current Achievement: the charity has acquired a new property at 170 New cross

Challenges

 Limited resources both financial and human
 Restricted access to the current centre
 Scarcity of suitable alternative premises

Future plans

 Extension of the Current Core Service.
 Strive to secure a new and bigger building to accommodate our growing congregation, educational service, and cultural events calendar.
 Promote the BECA brand more widely through a new website.
 Try new methods to achieve effective outreach across the community we serve; and
 (Longer-term) Explore extension of service to other communities and regions within the United Kingdom.
