GHAZALI
TRUST
Trustees Annual Report 2020
## _**Introduction – Ghazali Trust**_
Ghazali trust was born out of a need for helping individuals from the local community in a number of different areas such as education, employment, crime-reduction and youth activities. Since our inception, we have been running activities in and around Glodwick, Oldham for the last ten years.
We have and continue to made significant progress since our humble beginnings in 2004.
Amjid Mahmood, Saleem Akhtar and Majid Hussain (Trustees) initially set up the activities that involved educational classes, advocacy, support and weekly football for young people around the Glodwick area.
Since then, we have grown significantly both in terms of volunteers that we have who help to run activities and also the users who take advantage of the activities and on-going projects that we have to offer. We have developed a circulation list of over 4000 people who receive updates on our activities, this group of people are also available for consultation on the wider public sector policies, so can be accessed by partner agencies to input on policies and/or plans that are being introduced.
## _**Our Aims & Objectives**_
1) To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Glodwick and its environs in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society;
2) To promote, for the benefit of the public, the efficiency of the police in Oldham and to promote good citizenship and greater public participation in the prevention and solution of crime in the area;
3) The promotion of religious harmony for the benefit of the public by educating the public in different religious beliefs including an awareness of their distinctive features and their common ground to promote good relations between persons of different faiths;
4) To act as a resource for young people by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:
- **a) Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;**
- **b) Advancing education;**
- **c) Relieving unemployment;**
_Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability,_
_poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons._
## _**Structure And Governance**_
Ghazali Trust is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status The Directors of the company are also charity trustees. It is intended, as far as possible to maintain a broad range of skills within the Board of Trustees, covering youth engagement, social, education, management, financial and business skills. To this end new trustees are recruited from time to time to fill any gaps, which develop due to resignations and retirements. No other outside party is entitled to appoint new trustees. Trustees have been recruited through relevant websites and local networks. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration is paid.
We are very fortunate to have an excellent volunteer team of 22 experienced individuals with a mixture of qualifications dependent on the roles undertaken – these include child and family support workers, administrators. Qualifications include social work, mental health expertise, counselling, sports; parenting work and youth work.
## _**Chair's Introduction**_
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the charity’s Trustees’ Annual Report, which sets out, for our supporters and the general public, what we have achieved in the past twelve months and our future plans.
2020 has been a difficult year for many in the charity sector with the global pandemic halting many social activities through the year. Despite challenging economic circumstances, we adapted our way of operating and focused on the needs in these challenging times.
## **COVID-19 Impact**
We started a foodbank in 2020 to help support the vulnerable people in Oldham in collaboration with Oldham council. We operated the foodbank 5 days a week to help ensure we could provide much needed services to residents who found themselves out of a job or on furlough.
We started a mental health project to help address the well-being of our community and ensure that they are empowered to find new avenues of support during covid.
We worked with families and young people via zoom and produced a number if uplifting videos to inspire others as to what activities can be done during the lockdown to help promote mental and physical well-being. and reduce the negative impacts of the lockdown.
We launched a new multi-lingual helpline to help address the concerns of loved ones who had family members admitted to hospital that were in serious situations. We had a bank of mental health practioners, counsellors and medical professionals that helped to answer questions.
We have continued to promote and highlight the local cleaning intiative that we set up in the previous year and we have 250 active volunteers that take part in the clean ups on a fortnightly basis. This has been a catalyst for remarkable change within our communities. We are not exactly where we want to be with the local litter-pick/clean-ups however the local areas have seen a vast improvement since the inception of the project.
This year we have used our newly refurbished main hall for running a number of sporting initiatives all aimed at increasing local interest and participation in a wide variety of sports, such as circuit training, fitness classes, thai-boxing, and jiu-jitsu.
We have also used the main hall to run activities on bonfire night in order to engage young people and reduce anti-social; activity that otherwise causes a lot of anxiety and unrest within communities. Due to this initiative, we had zero incidents on bonfire night this year.
## **Finances**
We continue to remain in satisfactory shape financially this is because of the strenuous efforts of the increasing team of volunteers who have engaged in many fundraising activities, a mainly volunteer led/operated structure and delivery of a number of small contracts for public sector organisations.
## **Plans and Challenges**
We continue to develop plans for a dedicated office which will help us to better plan, organise, expand and co-ordinate community projects.
We seek to continue to undertake a series of large-scale projects to develop Clemency House both physically and operationally. We continue to see large increases in numbers of young people perceiving a bleak future in terms of employment and other life opportunities.
Due to the main hall now being open, we have seen a large increase in levels of engagement with our local communities via seminars educational sessions, health information open days as well as collaboration opportunities with other private, public and voluntary sector organisations which will further enhance our work.
## **A special Thanks**
We are so fortunate to continue to have a dedicated team of volunteers who run the organisation so effectively and we would like to thank them all, as they give so much in terms of time, their ideas, commitment and skills. We would also like to acknowledge all of the support from donors, partners, beneficiaries and volunteers.
## Review Of Activities & Achievements
## **Foodbank**
Due to the COVID pandemic, we have increased participation from the local community in both providing food stuff and helping to deliver it to those in need during the lockdown periods.
We ran a number of mental health and well being activities on-line via zoom to help boost confidence, provide a forum to air concerns and find support.
## **Clean Glodwick Litter cleaning project**
We have continued to promote our #CleanGlodwick litter cleaning project with over 250 active residents signing up to become street co-ordinators and helping ensure their street/block is maintained in a clean state every 2 weeks..
We have had input from Oldham Council who have helped to co-ordinate efforts with local residents to ensure the fortnightly clean-up is done whereby all the litter collected is removed by the council in a timely manner.
We have engaged with all the local primary and secondary schools to encourage teachers to run littering awareness projects with their classes and produce artwork that could be used for flyer and posters in highlighting t1he concern for environmental cleanliness.
The impact of the project can be clearly seen on the streets whereby a significant improvement has led a to a sense of well being and pride in the area.
## **GT Homework & Study Support Club**
The homework club had been moved online in 2020 due to COVID, we continued to support students and help them through this stressful period particularly with limited in person classes.
## **Fundraising & Community Giving**
A number of fundraising initiatives were organised to help mobilise community participation in raising both awareness and money for the clemency house refurbishment project, one of the fundraising activities was organised by our volunteer which entailed a sponsored walk to the top of ben Nevis.
## **One to One interventions**
Through our volunteer network we continue to support many individuals and families with a range of issues especially around COVID and isolation including those who are potentially/have become homeless, return to work, family breakdown, advocacy support,
coaching, mentoring, befriending etc. This is a growing area of work and we see further growth as public sector funds continue be affected by austerity, lockdown and furlough.
## **Offender Rehabilitation**
A bespoke support package for those who have been imprisoned up until they are released and a tailored plan to help individuals after their release.
This includes providing:
- Books and literature considering the academic level of the prisoner.
- Exchanging letters.
- Regular visits by selected members of Ghazali Trust.
- Release from prison plan and long-term plan thereafter.
Numerous individuals have engaged at varying levels with this programme, the programme also includes ex offenders sharing their experience at weekly gatherings in order to discourage young people engaging in criminal activity.
## **Weekly Gathering and Advice**
The weekly gatherings held on Thursday evenings, are increasingly popular with Oldham residents and are open to the whole community to attend. Often we have motivational speakers and community support workers who help to inspire and motivate attendees
Individuals are encouraged to share life experiences and remind one another of what good social conduct looks like, this is a combination on faith based and general conduct.
On average around 70 people attend on a weekly basis, the evening concludes with refreshments and networking.
## Future Plans
The Trustees intend to continue develop and expand their current activities in order to engage more volunteers and expand the number of beneficiaries.
Having the benefit of over 4,000 people engaging with the organisation/some of the activities that are by the organisation we are in a unique position to help other charities.
We have reaffirmed our commitment to work with other statutory and voluntary agencies to assist in engaging hard to reach communities, tackling violent/extremist ideologies, create and environment of trust and co operation in which communities feel more comfortable in working in partnership with the public sector to tackle issues affecting the communities of Oldham.
Clemency house will help us to offer a more stable service to beneficiaries, we aim to develop bespoke youth facilities, we have already had preliminary discussions with youth workers, the local authority and Oldham community leisure in formulating plans to achieve this.
Skills and capabilities have been developed within the organisation to organise and manage events on behalf of other charitable organisations, whether this be through engagement/consultation events or specific fundraising activities. This is an area that The Trustees seek to expand in order to generate revenue to run other activities.
The Trustees intend to continue develop and expand their current activities in order to engage more volunteers and expand the number of beneficiaries.
