Summary of main achievements 2021-2022

Over the past year, Al Saddiiq Cultural Centre has made significant strides in serving the community. Here's a brief summary of the impact we've had:

  1. Housing and Homelessness Support: We successfully aided over 200 cases dealing with housing and homelessness. This involved providing assistance with applications, advocating for the clients, and providing guidance on their rights and the available services.

  2. Language Support: We held (ESOL) classes for 100 individuals. These classes have been instrumental in improving communication skills, aiding integration, and enhancing employability. Participants enjoyed the prop and interactivity driven sessions.

  3. Telephone Line Support: Our dedicated team members took over 300 calls, providing assistance, guidance, and a comforting voice to those in need. The inquiries ranged from financial support, housing suitability, immigration issues, and health concerns to simply someone looking for a friendly conversation during a challenging time.

  4. Mental Health Workshops: We organised 20 mental health workshops aimed at reducing stigma of mental health within the community, promoting mental health awareness, and providing tools for managing mental health challenges.

These accomplishments show the centre's ongoing commitment to serve our community and meet their varied needs. Our wide range of services and ability to respond to emergent needs demonstrates our dedication to promoting the wellbeing and resilience of our community members.
