Learn English at Home (LEAH)
LEAH was established in 1982 to advance the education of ethnically diverse adults who do not speak English as a first language and who are unable to access mainstream adult education courses. Through personalised language support, LEAH empowers people to communicate independently in the areas of health, wellbeing, education, and work. Our vision is to achieve 'inclusion through language'.
LEAH operates primarily across the boroughs of Kingston, Richmond, and Hounslow. LEAH also operates across other London Boroughs, as some clients have been moved out of borough during their time with LEAH. We also support a specific group of clients with complex needs who have been trafficked, experienced slavery or domestic abuse, and have been referred from across London.
Our service is provided by volunteer tutors who work directly with their students in a variety of ways - face to face in their homes, online via Zoom, or in community classes. Through weekly one-to-one support for up to 12 months, tutors help their students build confidence with speaking and writing English, learning about local services, and helping to create opportunities for study and employment.
LEAH's clients are referred by a strong network of 80+ referral partners including GPs, health services, social prescribers, refuges, hotels, businesses, and schools. To be eligible for LEAH services, potential 'clients' must be unable to access other English language provision because of their physical and/or mental ill health, caring responsibilities, illiteracy in their first language, immigration status, have experienced domestic abuse, modern slavery or have been trafficked.
Having limited English means clients often struggle to access vital services, including housing, education for themselves and their children, health care and to find sustainable employment. LEAH enables clients to gain confidence, develop support networks, access services for themselves and their children and make their first steps towards college, volunteering, and employment.
LEAH meets people who have newly arrived in the UK as a refugee or asylum-seeker, and who face insecurity of accommodation and financial subsistence and are simply in a survival state. Others are at various stages of coping and adapting as they have been able to settle, have lived in the UK for several years, have friends and family nearby, and are seeking to learn English so that they can further cope and adapt to temporarily, or permanently, living in the UK. As we help to build the confidence of clients, with the support of volunteers, we see clients progress and move beyond the stages of surviving and coping as LEAH's support helps them to gain the confidence and skills needed to adapt and thrive.
LEAH's services change people's lives; empowering people to discover and take opportunities to actively integrate and participate in their local communities.

Chairs Statement
Introduction from Sharon Landa, Chair of Trustees
As I write my first statement for the annual report. I am reminded that I stand on the shoulders of my predecessor, Richard Williams, who not only guided LEAH through the pandemic but also oversaw a period of growth in the charity.
The last year has been a year of change for LEAH: a new Chair, three new trustees, a new director, and several new members of staff.
The new Director, Abby Price, had previously led the charity as an Interim Director, has built on her existing knowledge, assessed what has changed to ensure that LEAH could expand our reach and make services more accessible. The staff structure has changed: a new Office Manager and the Digital Inclusion Coordinator have identified efficiencies, enabling better use of technology which has freed up Coordinator time and provided an improved volunteer and client experience. A new Fund raising Manager has enabled the bookkeeping and finances to be brought in-house. The Director has given more attention to service development and delivery. Benefits have included the development of standardised internal approaches, built from best practices to enable all clients and volunteers to have an enjoyable, high-quality experience with LEAH.
The results have been clear in the numbers: over 30% more clients supported, those attending classes have more than doubled. The clients have changed: often with past traumas, some with consequential mental health issues, who may only have transitory housing before being moved to a new location. As a result the 1:1 sessions have never been more important but also challenging to organise. While we have had success in recruiting new volunteers, fewer were trained than planned, an experience we share with many others in the voluntary sector.
To help understand the current level of service, surveys were conducted amongst all stakeholder groups:
-
90% of volunteers feel well supported. Their ideas and the benchmark data give LEAH the ability to measure improvements going forward.
-
Over 90% of referrers see our work as providing a gap in services provided elsewhere. They readily identified the benefits to the clients: an increase in confidence, improved well-being and language skills and less isolation. This is especially pleasing as there has been a 50% increase in the number of referrers using LEAH.
-
Over 90% of clients described similar improvements which they apply in their daily lives: meeting with GPs, schools etc.
LEAH continues to have good financial stability. The reserves ensure that we can continue to provide the services so clearly needed and fill a gap in what is provided elsewhere.
Our mission is Inclusion through Language. In 2022 we were able to re-start the trips to local venues. Classes have also provided opportunities for interaction. Emerging from the pandemic enabled a hybrid model: a mix of in-person and digital interactions according to
client and volunteer preference. We trialled running joint sessions with one volunteer and two clients, with success. These changes enable LEAH to develop a model which is flexed to meet the needs of diverse clients.
I wish to pay a special tribute to the staff who have led these changes and managed through a changing and often challenging environment. They have managed change with success and enthusiasm.
Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Trustees, who give their time freely and often with much enthusiasm. Three new Trustees joined the board, all experienced LEAH volunteers. This enabled the Board to dedicate time to review operations and start a new Marketing and Communications Team. The results have been ideas to expand our reach and accessibility of services. I look forward to the Board continuing to provide oversight and operate successfully with the Director and staff.
Sharon Landa, Chair of Trustees

Trustees' report 2022 • 2023
The Trustees present below their report and the examined financial statements for the year ending 31st March 2023. The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice' applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UI< and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Public benefit
In making decisions about the way in which LEAH achieves its charitable objectives, the Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. LEAH's work is beneficial in that it offers clients a means to overcome isolation and improve their chances in life through improved English language skills, increased confidence and self-belief, and greater knowledge of and access to local support services. LEAH's work changes people's lives. Through language LEAH empowers people to become active members of their local communities, contributing to an integrated society where language unlocks people's potential to participate fully in family and community life.
LEAH's work is beneficial to a specific section of the public, to minority ethnic adults with very limited levels of English. LEAH's work is focused on this group because of their vulnerability and isolation, and their exclusion from other language support. In particular, LEAH supports clients who are unable to access adult education provision because of, for example, their child care responsibilities, physical and/or mental ill health, illiteracy in their first language, have experienced domestic violence or have been trafficked. LEAH works to ensure that all those who are eligible for LEAH's services can benefit, for example through developing strong referral networks with statutory and voluntary partners and offering LEAH's services at no cost to the clients.
LEAH's Trustees work to manage risks of harm to the charity's beneficiaries and the public in general, for example through LEAH's safeguarding and health and safety policies and processes.
LEAH'S Services
LEAH's 1:1 service offers a person-centred programme designed to meet individual needs:
Language which supports people to tackle practical challenges they currently face, e.g. making appointments, communicating with their GP, speaking to a neighbour or support workers, reading letters about housing benefit, asylum applications and guidance, British Citizenship, their child's school, preparing a CV.
Support to access local services e.g. children's centres, libraries, local activities and specialist support services such as those provided via partners. In addition, to learning about these on line, and understanding how to access them independently.
Transition objectives and support to progress to LEAH and other online/community group ESOL learning provisions, local colleges, volunteering or employment.

We supported 141 clients with 1;1 support in 2022-23 which included 32 victims of trafficking or domestic violence, 8 Ukranian citizens under the Route 2 Refugee Relocation Scheme and 1 under the Route 1 scheme., 7 Afghan citizens were supported under the Afghan Citizens Relocations Scheme (ACRS) and 2 under the Afghan Relocation Assistance Policy (ARAP).
LEAH classes support the development of English as well as digital literacy skills through themed support:
- Communicating with Schools Schools' classes focus on language skills within the specific context of the child's school and embed the language needed to support their child's learning and development with the wider impact of increasing their independence and increasing social networks. People are supported to fill in forms for their children to access school trips, engage in wider school volunteering opportunities with other parents, read letters and reports and help their children with written work as well as engage in social trips.
Health & Wellbeing - Classes focus on skills required for accessing health care and well being services e.g. reading GP surgery timetables, completing simple forms, information about local health care and wellbeing services (e.g. when to use GPs, walk-in clinics, local talking therapies and A&E) and relevant vocabulary to access public health messages (e.g. healthy eating, dental hygiene, keeping active).
In Work Progression - In partnership with business to focus on English in the workplace for migrant workers and supporting progression in the workplace and an understanding of workers rights.
We supported 279 class clients in 2022-23, which included 101 in remote classes, 71 clients in our Heston community class, 96 migrant workers from MITIE at Heathrow Airport, 10 parents at Coombe Hill School and 13 parents at Richmond School classes.
Strategic Aims and progress to date

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
New trustees are appointed, for a term of three years, by a resolution passed at a convened meeting of the charity trustees. Trustees may serve for a total of two terms.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Learn English at Home
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out below.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
