.kdi hub From our chair Chair's report, by Sayqa Arif Reflecting on change and growth This year has been one of significant change and growth for Sahel'i. Hub. As I step into my role as chair, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my predecessor, Nazreen Bi, for her 20 years of unwavering commitment and leadership. Under her guidance, Saheli Hub evolved from a small charity offering fitness sessions in Bals011 Heath to a dynamic organisation employing 17 staff members and delivering diverse indoor and outdoor sessions across Birminghom's inner city. Nazreen's dedication has laid strong foundations, and l am committed to building on this legacy to tackle health inequalities ond drive systemic change from cure to prevention. We olso bid farewell to our Saheli Hub Manager, Shebina Gill, who. after 17 years, has made on indelible impact on our team and the communities we serve. Her work has been instrumental in developing prevention programmes that empower porticipants to manage long-term health conditions prevalent in our areas. We are deeply grateful for her service and wish her well in her future endeavours, Meeting growing challenges through innovation In an environment of increasing needs and reduced funding, Saheli Hub is rising to the challenge. Reports highlight that the NHS spends £126 billion annually on preventable conditions. Our team is working diligently to develop and deliver programmes focused on prevention and improved management of long-term heolth conditions. Building on the success of our Culturally Appropriate Prevention of Diabetes (CAPD) programme, we are strengthening partnerships with Integrated Care Systems {ICS). ICS is committed to improving health and care services by focusing on prevention, better outcomes, and reducing health inequalities. Saheli Hub is well-positioned to collaborate with ICS to deliver community-led initiatives, including our new Lnow Your Numbers {LYN) programme, which equips participants with tools to improve key health indicators. Legacy and partnerships Following the excitement of the Commonwealth Games 2022, we secured an Inclusive Communities Fund (ICF), ensuring the legacy of the games positively impacts the communities we serve. We also forged a transformative partnership with Brompton Bikes. led by Managing Director Julian Scriven. His support enabled us to provide 50 Brompton bikes for a long-term hire scheme, giving women the opportunity to use folding bikes independently between sessions and integrate cycling into their daily routines. Additionally, our collaboration with Innerva has brought nine power-assisted fitness machines to our second site at Alum Rock Community Centre (ARCC). This equipment is accessible to participants of all fitness levels and promises to be a game-changer for the B8 community. Annual Report & Financial Statements 2023-2024

. kdi hub our funding, so we do not become reliant on one main source of funding going forward. We need to grow our services to match demond, especially in the areas of need that we do not currently cover, such as advice, guidance, employment and skills support. We continue to advonce our innovative health programmes in collaboration with Washwood Heath Primary Care Network (PCN), targeting the long-term health conditions of patients in the B8 area. A key focus has been the development of our Culturally Appropriate Prevention of Diabetes (CAPD) programme, specifically designed to meet the needs of our diverse communities. This programme has successfully supported participants in lowering their HbA1c' levels and preventing the onset of diabetes. Although funding for CAPD concluded in January 2024, Saheli Hub has leveraged the insights gained to launch our own Lnow Your Numbers (KYN) initiative. This holistic, one-stop service provides comprehensive support to individuals referred by their GPS or to walk-in participants. Through LYN, we empower patients to understand their key health metrics - such as blood pressure. weight, visceral fat and HbA1c and equip them with actionable guidance to improve these numbers. By taking a proactive approach, we aim to reduce the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart conditions and other health issues, while enhancing overall wellbeing. By providing participants with tailored support that aligns with their unique needs, we deliver a holistic approach to wellbeing. This includes offering culturally appropriate healthy eating guidance, engaging healthy cooking classes plus indoor and outdoor physical activities. Our starter programmes, such os social clubs and chair-based activities, serve as occessible entry points for participants, enabling them to build confidence and gradually progress towards more active lifestyles. This personalised approach ensures that each participant receives the support they need, matched to their individual abilities and goals. Brompton Bikes This year, our partnership with Brompton Bikes marked a significant milestone, thanks to the efforts of Julian Scriven, managing director at Brompton Bike Hire. During his visit to our Calthorpe Hub and Ward End Park, Julian took the time to meet Soheli Hub cyclists, where he listened to their inspiring journeys - from learning to ride a bike to cycling confidently on the streets, with some even advancing to become certified cycling instructors for our Saheli Cycling Club. Through this collaboration. 50 Brompton bikes were provided on long-term loan to cyclists who had learned to ride with Saheli Hub. This initiative exemplifies the synergy of top-down leadership meeting grassroots efforts. We distributed Brompton Bikes - often regarded by me as the Mercedes of bicycles - to women in the B12, B8, and B20 communities. These bikes, offered on o six-month loan, provided a transformative opportunity for recipients to experience the practicality of foldoble bikes for commuting to work and school, or for daily errands. Participants were then given the option to purchase their own bike if they wished to continue cycling independently, ensuring they could maintain an active lifestyle beyond our scheduled sessions in the park. This partnership reflects our commitment to empowering women through sustainable and accessible cycling initiatives. Annual Report & Financial Statements 2023-2024

sa kdi hub We have found that the biggest barriers to cycling are: nowing how to ride a bike. The cost of a bike. Being able to store a bike. To date, we have successfully taught over 3,500 women from our local communities to ride a bike. This achievement goes beyond the numbers - it signifies a shift toward healthier lifestyles and more sustainable transport choice5. Many of our participants now use their bikes and come on our adventure trips - replacing short car journeys and helping to reduce pollution in their neighbourhoods. This change not only benefits the environment but also promotes fitness and health for the women and their families, fostering a culture of active and healthy living within the community. England squash Thanks to our partnership with England Squash NGB the women of Calthorpe regularly attend the Priory Club in Edgbaston one of the most exclusive clubs in the city. This thought alone always brings a smile to my face as we are demonstrating again that through real partnership, we really can bring top down to meet bottom up. Lawn tennis association We have secured a three-year programme with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and we'll bring bringing tennis to all our sites in 2024 to 2025 thanks to this valuable partnership. Alum Rock Community Centre with Clarion Futures Thanks to Clarion Futures, we are developing a full programme at Alum Rock Community Centre (ARCC) and through their grants programme we were able to deliver activities and sessions as part of their Warm Hub offer. This offer helps support the communities living in and around Alum Rock to help families to come into a warm space and take part in activities and sessions at ARCC twice a week. Additionally, this funding provides extros to whoever attends the sessions with items such as worm blankets. hand warmers and even home monitors for heat and electric usage. Through Clarion and their capacity building grant we also secured costs for a fundraiser. This grant was so valuable to us as it gave us the extra capacity and security to raise more funding to do what we do across the city. That £I0.000 helped us to raise in excess of £200,000 over the next year. Power-assisted exercise with Innerva We started the development phase of a new partnership with Innerva at the ARCC site. This collaboration introduces power-assisted, sit-on-top exercise machines, tailored for our participants in B8. These innovative machines aim to help users meet the NHS guidelines of150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week. This initiative is designed to support participants in getting their health back on track. offering accessible and effective opportunities to incorporate regular physical activity into their lives. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting developmentl Annual Report & Financial Statements 2023-2024

. kd-i hub programme across our sites. providing health checks for 471 individuals from August 2023 to March 2024. Of these, 82 individuals were referred back to their GPS after abnormal or indeterminate heart rhythms were detected. This initiative highlights our commitment to early detection and prevention of heart disease - aligning with our ethos that prevention is better than cure. In December 2023, through our continued portnership with Clarion Futures, we launched a Warm Hub at ARCC, offering a safe space for residents to socialise, learn about energy conservation and stay warm during the winter months. Outreach and collaboration Throughout February and March 2024. the team continued to support a busy schedule of sessions at ARCC, while also participating in outreach efforts. We took part in community events with West Midlands Police at Eden Boys School in Alum Rock and the Women of Haymills Coffee Morning, where we showcased our LYN. CVD ond blood pressure checks. In March, we hosted the Community and Cultural Immersion Programme, which aimed to bridge the gap between health professionals and community organisations, exploring ways to work differently to improve health outcomes. These events were attended by NHS nurses. dieticians and midwives. helping to foster stronger collaboration between Saheli Hub and the NHS. with a focus on system change. Looking ahead Looking forward to the year ahead, we are excited to launch our Healthy Cooking programme. designed to complement our KYN initiative and further empower participants to rnonage their health. With the addition of Innerva power-assisted fitness equipment and an ever-evolving timetable, we continue to adapt our services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. My heartfelt thanks go to the Saheli Hub team for their dedication ond hard work. Together, we continue to narrow the disparities in health outcomes and make o lasting impoct on the communities we serve.

. kdi hub Inclusive cycling for all abilities A key feature of this year has been the introduction of trikes ot Ward End Park, providing access to even more people, including those with varying health and physical needs. This addition has helped brooden our reach, ensuring that cycling is accessible to everyone. Excitlng new partnershlps We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Brornpton Bikes. The entire cycling team visited the Brompton factory to learn about the brond's history, and we are grateful to Julian Scriven. MD of Brompton Bikes. for generously donating 50 Brompton folding bikes. These bikes have been loaned to participants for four months, enabling them to practice and build on their cycling skills. To test their portability, we organised a trip to Stratford Upon Avon and Cadbury World, where participants enjoyed the convenience and ease of using the Brompton Bikes. Adventurous rides and achievements Our annual trip to the Peak District was a standout event this year, with 16 women cycling the 26-mile Tissington Trail. Among them was Christine. a remarkable 76-year-old, who was the oldest participant on the trip. For many, this was their first cycling experience outside of Birmingham, and a great time was had by all. In November, our female participants took part in the TRY-ATHONI a fun multi- sport event involving cycling, running, and Zumba. Many of the women achieved their first-ever medal, celebrating their personal achievements and proving how far they had come in their physical activity and health journey. Support from key figures Throughout the year. we were honoured by visits from prominent figures in cycling and active travel, including Andy Street. the West Midlands Mayor, Adam Tranter, West Midlands Walking and Cycling Commissioner. Julian Scriven from Brompton Bikes, and Danny Williams. CEO of Active Travel England. These visits highlighted the progress and dedication of Saheli. Cycling Club, and our participants were proud to share their stories-from beginners to seasoned cyclists using their skills for social rides, training. employment, commuting, and even family holidays. Impact on health and wellbeing Cycling at Sahel'i. has proven to be much more than just a recreational activity., it has become a powerful tool for improving health, tackling social isolation, and addressing mental health issues in some of the most disadvantaged areas. Saheli Cycling Club has played a vital role in changing the cycling culture within these communities and continues to make a positive impact on the lives of participants. Connected to the team As a core service of Saheli. Hub, Saheli Cycling Club is closely connected with the wider team. We continue to refer and encourage participants to engage with other Sahel'i.

Cycling Club has achieved this year and we look forward to another exciting year aheadl Health Club grows strongly Report from Usman Khan, Health Club Coordinator Over the year, we have expanded and strengthened our services for men-only and mixed groups across the Hall Green, Hodge Hill, Yardley, and Northfield constituencies. We supported people aged 50 plus as well as younger adults, particularly those with additional needs. aged 18-49 in Hall Green and Yardley. Over the year we engaged with over 700 people - including in excess of 300 participants from the additional needs category - and collaborated with more than 15 community organisations, faith centres, local facilitators, medical surgeries, social prescribers and educational institutions. Our programme has been designed to offer a wide variety of activities with flexibility in scheduling to cater to diverse preferences. Sessions spanned midweeks to weekends. from early mornings and midday slots to afternoons and evenings. Activities ranged from scenic wolks and chair-based exercises to educational workshops, cycling, swimming. squash and multi-sport sessions. This inclusive approach ensured that the programme catered to all participants who overcame various personal barriers to engage in physical and social activities. Our core aim was to boost physical and social activity levels, reduce loneliness and isolation, and improve physical and mental health. The results speak for themselves. with 92 % of participants reporting positive irnprovements in these areas. These outcomes reflect the programme's success in creating a supportive, engaging and health-oriented community environment. Annual Report & Financial Statements 2023-2024 12

. kdi hub Mohammed's story Mohammed, from the Yardley area. is 51 years old and of Pakistani heritage. He suffers from Parkinson's disease and had been attending our service for a while, but his engagement was on and off due to a number of personal issues. He talked to us about the improvements and benefits he had experienced since attending many Men's Club sessions and starting to participate on a more regular basis. Since joining our service. Mohammed has taken part in nearly every session we hove delivered throughout East Birmingham, coming along every day of the week except Saturdayl His activities included- an exercise class in Balsall Heath. Innerva power- assisted exercise machines at Alum Rock. cycling in Sheldon Country Park and Ward End Park. Over 50s Health Club in South Yardley and badminton in Stechfordl He told us, as a result, he was feeling less tired, had more energy and even felt his driving had improved. Mohammed felt happier. fitter and better about himself as well as more connected to his own community and others. His commitment to improving his physical and mental wellbeing has been outstanding. Bernard's story Bernard, also known as Benny, is from the Yardley area, 86 years old and white British/ Irish heritage. When he first come to Saheli Hub. Bernard had a number of challenging health conditions - both recent and some which he'd been living with for some time. In the previous 10 years. Bernard had experienced cancer twice, had a stroke. been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and had a shoulder which he was told required surgery. All of this was effecting his mental and physical health: he was finding it hard to sleep at night, unsure what to eat and where to exercise. He was referred to us by his GP. Since joining Saheli Hub, Bernord has mainly attended the exercise class at Alum Rock Community Centre, our hub for East Birmingham, on a Tuesday morning. His confidence and appetite grew, his health improved and Bernard started attending our weekly park ride in Sheldon Country Park and Over 50s Club on Friday mornings - always on hand to support in whatever capacity required. Recently, Bernard's weight has come down, with increased body muscle and reduced body fat. He said his doctor was shocked (in a good way) and surprised. and told Bernard that he no longer required surgery on his shoulder. This is a great example of someone we were able to support, having an impact their life in a holistic way. Annual Report & Financial Statements 2023-2024 13
