MOTHER AND CHILD WELFARE ORGANISATION Trustees' Report For the year ended 30 April 2021

This year has been a challenging and demanding year for us in which we have developed hugely as an organisation.

The pandemic has demonstrated the depths of inequality and disadvantage that our community experiences every day. We have worked without ceasing to respond to their needs and to help every single person gain the skills and knowledge they need to improve their lives.

A feature of this year was the development of different partnerships with other organisations. We have been able to offer our members a range of accredited training and high-quality expert advice through partnering with the NHS, the Met Police and accredited education and training organisations. This has been vital in creating access to services that most people take for granted.

We are proud of so many achievements over the last twelve months. We will mention a few of them here

  1. We have provided emergency food parcels, payment of utility bills and emotional support and counselling for people who simply did not know where to turn. We continue to help and support anyone who comes to us.

  2. We have developed three youth volunteers who contributed to their community during the most difficult days, organising and delivering food parcels. Their commitment has been inspirational.

  3. We have been able to provide laptops and entry level training to people who have never used a computer or the internet before. This has transformed people’s lives.

  4. We have held community meetings online and face to face that addressed all the difficult issues that we need to deal with. We have talked about mental illness and depression, domestic abuse, addiction, fears for our children, unemployment, problems with putting food on the table and so many other issues. Together we have tried to find answers.

  5. We have supported young people throughout the pandemic who have suffered over their education and mental health. We have been helped by our incredible volunteers who have provided mentoring and tutoring that has boosted the education of young people and raised their confidence.

  6. We have partnered with trainers to provide accredited qualifications in different areas that make a real difference to employability. These include training in Social Care, IT and First Aid.

  7. We provided support to 399 separate people to complete the Census this year. We received a certificate as one of the top Census support centres in the UK.

4

  1. We organised large online discussions about health issues, especially Vaccine information, mental health and physical health. We brought NHS health workers and professionals together with our community to provide expert advice and reassurance.

  2. We have ensured that all our staff and volunteers receive training and support to develop their own skills. We have concentrated especially on Safeguarding training for all our staff and organised Level 3 Lead Safeguarding training for our safeguarding officer.

These are just some of our achievements. We could not have done anything without the help of our incredible staff, trustees and volunteers. We acknowledge and recognise that all of them have gone far beyond the requirements of their role and have shown dedication that is simply awe inspiring.

We also acknowledge the many funders who enabled us to respond to the challenge of the pandemic:

City Bridge Trust ; Comic Relief ; ATM ; BTEG ; Power to Change ; ROSA ; Department of Culture, Media and Sport/Lloyds Bank ; London Youth ; Hammersmith United Charities ; United in Hammersmith and Fulham ; Hammersmith & Fulham Council

We also want to thank the many partners who delivered services with us:

Hammersmith & Fulham NHS, Wandsworth NHS, ASE-CIC, Continental Education Services, Wandsworth Adult Social Services, Roehampton Community Response Network, the Prevent Advisory Group in Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent Prevent Services, Met Police in Hammersmith & Fulham, London Vocational College, Office of National Statistics

The pandemic continues to have an effect and we continue to work towards a society that is fair and equal for everyone. Next year will bring more challenges. We know that we have the strength of our community behind us and we are committed more than ever to working with everyone to provide skills, knowledge and support that can lead to meaningful and fulfilling lives.

We will not give up on anyone and we trust that we will be able to provide them with support and training that will transform their lives. We look towards next year with hope that we will continue to build a creative, energetic and compassionate organisation that fights poverty and disadvantage on behalf of the whole of society.

We would like to thank all our generous supporters, volunteers, partners, donors and funders. We hope you will continue working with us to help everyone in our local area to live productive, socially useful and positive lives.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MOTHER AND CHILD WELFARE ORGANISATION

14

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] April 2021, which is set out on Pages 4 - 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees, who are also the directors of MOTHER AND CHILD WELFARE ORGANISATION for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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 needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for Independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

(ii) 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

(iii) State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of 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 statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(a) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

(i) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and (ii) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities; have not been met; or

(b) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
