MOTHER AND CHILD WELFARE ORGANISATION

Trustees Report for the Year ended April 2022

This year has been an extremely busy one for us. The pandemic has created many complex issues for our community that required us to work very intensely and expand the range and scope of our work.

The two main areas of our work this year have been mental/physical wellbeing and economic insecurity. We summarise our work in these two areas below.

Mental and physical well-being

Well-being has many different facets to it. We have addressed digital and social isolation; mental health awareness; vaccine hesitancy; healthy lifestyle awareness; access to NHS services; community safety and youth mental wellbeing. We have used many different types of delivery, including peer to peer support; expert information sessions; discussion groups with NHS workers; training in mental health first aid; community meetings ; exercise classes and programmes ; and 1-1 confidential support and signposting. We have worked with many underlying issues including domestic abuse/violence; depression and anxiety; FGM awareness ; addiction; serious mental illness; prisoner support at HMP Wormwood Scrubs ; youth mental wellbeing ; the need for youth clubs and activities ; online grooming and extremism ; parenting skills.

We have found that there is a large segment of our community that is invisible to mainstream services. So many families and individuals are suffering in silence, facing serious issues without support. We have worked in partnership with NHS programmes and professionals to make it possible for people in our community to access NHS services and. adult social services in the safe space that we have created. This has demanded a lot from our staff and volunteers and we are proud of the impact of our work. We are providing support and a place to come where people especially women are able to voice their problems for the first time, overcoming shame and guilt while taking charge of their health and that of their families.

We are grateful to many funders for enabling us to deliver these programmes, including Peoples Health Trust ; Awards for All ; London Boroughs of Wandsworth, Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent ; West London NHS Trust ; Rosa ; Forward ; ASE ; Hammersmith United ; London Youth ; MOPAC ; The British Council ; Wandsworth Care Alliance ; Midaye

Economic Insecurity

We have supported many families this year who are living in poverty and destitution where they are unable to pay utility bills or buy food for their families. It seems incredible that in our prosperous society there are families living in day-to-day fear of going hungry, telephone disconnection or losing heating and lighting. We have addressed these issues in many different ways, including providing direct economic support for bills and food ; providing ESOL and IT classes for women to improve

employment prospects ; CV development with young people ; benefit advice and help ; tutoring for young people and advice on employment and further education ; holiday programmes with food for children and young people ; volunteering opportunities to improve employment prospects ; access to our computer suite for job search and school work ; access to apprenticeship opportunities.

We are grateful to our funders for making these programmes possible including London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and London Borough of Wandsworth, London Youth, United in Hammersmith and Fulham ; Young Hammersmith ; the JJ Charitable Trust ; BTEG. We are especially grateful to our skilled volunteers for their dedication in providing online and face to face classes and support to adults and young people. We could not have delivered our training programmes without them.

Our organisational development

Along with many grassroots organisations we have faced funding challenges this year especially in the area of core running costs. However we have still managed to expand our services and we have never turned anyone away. The problems in our community are increasing and the scope of our work has grown, as we work with more and more people outside the core community we serve. We are open to all and these are not mere words in these very difficult times. We have established ourselves as a trusted and safe space, where we do not judge or criticise, and where there is empathy, lived experience and practical support. This is very demanding work, asking that much of what we do is delivered by volunteers or by people who are willing to work for low pay because they cannot turn away from the problems that our community faces. We are continuing to seek stability and core costs that will enable us to plan in the long term to address issues strategically and look ahead to anticipate problems. We have established partnerships with many agencies and organisations this year. This requires co-ordination and networking that takes staff away from frontline issues. We continue to juggle with the demands of daily issues and the needs of strategic and partnership working. This is something that we want to address in the coming year.

Our staff, trustees, supporters and volunteers

We are so proud that our community is filled with people with personal resources, commitment to help others, and a fierce wish to make life better for people who are living in long term poverty and deprivation. We cannot deliver our services without this support. Our organisation is driven by these passionate and committed people who understand the issues of deprivation because they have lived them themselves. We have developed and supported our staff to increase their skills and gain training which has benefited them as well as our community. We once again acknowledge this committed group of people and assure them that their contribution is valued and highly appreciated. You are awe inspiring people and we are proud to work with you.

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

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] April 2022, 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.
