The details of meeting the public benefit criteria are explained below and can be seen in the finance statements. As a charity we provide advice, resources and services to those affected by various social and economic circumstances. We do this in many ways. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** - We offer minimal financial assistance to those in need in the form of food parcels. These have mostly been claimed by single and un-working mothers or those who are unexpectedly unemployed. We also provide emotional support through counselling and social groups that are co-ordinated by the charity. - • Through our website blog, E-Newsletter and Social Media forums we regularly post encouraging and inspirational articles which give support, advice and tips on a wide range of issues such as relationships, parenting, career and emotional needs. - • We support new mothers by visiting them when they come home from hospital, offering advice, support and a small gift parcel with essentials for the new-born. - • We visit those who are in hospital and offer physical and emotional support - • We host a Sunday afternoon café where tea, coffee and biscuits are on offer while there is a chance to interact with people. - • We hold a variety of free seminars and free conferences that aim to encourage and educate.

The charity has about 30 volunteers. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grant making; - policy programme related investment; The charity values the contribution of its volunteers and reimburses them for any authorised expenditure. The contribution of volunteers has saved the charity a lot of money. This is quite significant as the charity relies solely on contributions from members and partners. Volunteers put in a minimum of 300 hours monthly resulting in a saving of £2,463 yearly that is assuming each volunteer is paid £8.21 per hour. This figure doesn't take into account hours not accounted for as some volunteers sometimes have to do some extra work at home in order to meet up with the charity's deadlines. - contribution made by volunteers. **TAR** March **2012** 4 **----- Start of picture text -----**
Section D Achievements and performance
**----- End of picture text -----**
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** We have also seen growth in the character and lifestyle of those who we have helped as a charity. Many international students have passed through us and with emotional and social support they have graduated successfully and have gone to secure fantastic jobs. We hold Career Development Seminar with experts from various fields which is always greatly attended and received. Many still financially support the charity as they want us to continue helping others like them. Some of our young people have gone on to get married and are flourishing in their marriages. Some marriages that were at breaking point have been restored through the relationships seminars and counselling provided. Many testify that they have been encouraged, strengthened and empowered through the seminars, conferences and activities. Sometimes even just through the opportunity to fellowship with others, enjoying a concert or volunteering a person’s life has been added to. We are gradually becoming more involved in city wide community efforts through associations such as Prayer for Bradford, Churches together, Positive Bradford and our links with the local radio station. In February we hosted an event for young couples contemplating marriage in order to help them to set a good foundation and to offset future domestic violence risk through educating them on issues such as communication and conflict resolution. In March we celebrated Mothers by providing a Mother’s Day lunch, flowers and chocolates for women in the community. In May we held a pampering event for women in the community with free facials and manicures as well as free brunch. It was well attended. In June, we hosted a Father’s event with lunch a free gift for very father on Father’s day. In August held our annual Family Fun Day with music, BBQ, Bouncy Castle and games which was free and open to all the community held outside on our grounds. We were blessed to receive support for this project from Bradford Council, Tesco and Asda. In September, we held a back to school event where we gave free back to school gifts to children in the Community. In September we also hosted a free music concert with an International Gospel Artist. The concert was very well attended, and everyone was uplifted. Also in September we hosted a Future Leaders event where presentations were given in the areas of finance, career, business and leadership. In October, we held our international day where we encourage the community to come together wearing their traditional cultural dress and bring food from their country of origin to share. **TAR** March **2012** 5 **----- Start of picture text -----**

In October we also In October, we put on a free superhero party for children where we provided games, crafts, food and sweets. They could come dressed as superheroes and they had lots of fun. In November we hosted another free music concert by a National Recording Artist which also provided a forum for local artists to share their talent. In November we also held an event called Nexus for married couples of less than 10 years. Presentations were given on achieving the right life balance, communication, conflict and intimacy. In December we provided support over the Christmas season by having a get-to-gether with Christmas Carols and Mince pies, a Christmas Day get-to-gether, New Years’ Eve and New Year Day getto-gethers with light refreshment. These are days that can be very lonely and upsetting for the groups that we have mentioned who are away from family and away from home. We gave them a homely environment to meet others. This also improved social inclusion and community cohesion as people from different ethnic groups came together under one roof. We also partnered with Prison Fellowship UK to give prisoners the opportunity to send a Christmas present to their children through the Angel Tree project. We were able to donate gifts and wrap over 150 gifts. Additionally, we went Christmas Carol Singing at the local hospital and Elderly Accommodation ## **TAR** March **2012** 6 **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** It is the policy of the charity that as far as is possible, unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 6 months of running costs. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **N/A** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. The Charity depends on donations in order to carry out the objectives of the charity. These donations come primarily from those who attend our meetings and also partners who partner with us through our e- newsletter, social media forums or also view our online broadcasts and wish to contribute to our charitable efforts. The donations received enabled the charity to give to those in need as well as provide essential training and support needed for young people, students, adults, children and families. As the charity key objective is the relief of poverty and furtherance of the Christian faith most of the events that took place in the year focused on improving relationships in the family, counselling youths in order to reduce gang crimes and providing for the needs of people in the community. Providing for the needs of the community in this context means opening up the church to the community so even people of other faiths are welcome to come and ask questions in order to understand what the Christian faith is about. Also, many of the community events have been used as a platform to counsel those struggling financially, help where we can and direct them to local agencies who can offer specific help. At these community events we give lunch or dinner packs to members of the community we know are struggling to make ends meet especially the single parents or those who have just lost jobs and are in the process of applying for job seekers allowance or other benefits. This we do because we are aware that every pound count and every little helps. The trustees and management have put into place a policy that all monies donated to the charity must be kept in the bank as soon as possible. This is to ensure that there is an audit trail of all monies. Also every volunteer must produce receipts for all expenditures else they will not be reimbursed. The charity has in place an ethics code which volunteers, senior supervisor volunteers and trustees must adhere to. ## **Other optional information** **TAR** March **2012** 7 **----- Start of picture text -----**
