OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

MIDLAND LANGAR SEVA SOCIETY
Trustees Annual Report
The objective of the Charity is to provide relief for the homeless by means of food and humanitarian support. The charity provides relief to persons who are in conditions of distress, hardship and/or as a result of local or national disaster, or by reason of their social and economic circumstances. At present, Midland Langar Seva Society operate in 24 different locations across the UK and 11 locations abroad. Some teams offer daily services whereas other teams offer services on a few set days a week depending on volunteer availability. Volunteers of MLSS became key workers in the pandemic. This is so that they could continue to do the following: Conduct Street feeds; Drop off food parcels to those in need; Post letters for elderly and those who were less mobile; Collect and deliver prescriptions for vulnerable; Organise fundraisers; Conduct general day-to-day running of the charity.
Public Benefit: .Our activities have been undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit and the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. During the pandemic period up to 05th May 2023, homeless people were housed in hotels, for shelter. They were provided with just a room and access to a bathroom. The support did not include other necessities like food. MLSS provided food parcels for those who had been given shelter in hotels. Further more a small Gym and training facility is housed within the office premises to train and promote local public youth off the street and to educate them to what our charity and it's causes stand for.
One of our proudest accomplishments has been the success of our youth work initiative. Since February 2024, we've welcomed over 100 young people into our community hub, offering them a safe and inspiring space to channel their energy into boxing, fitness, and music in our MLSS studio. This work is already making a difference—steering young people away from crime and towards a more hopeful future. We've also celebrated the achievements of our team, with eight staff members completing their Level 2 Youth Work qualification—a big step forward in strengthening our impact.
We expanded our reach by opening two new youth clubs in Willenhall and Walsall and forming powerful new partnerships to support our mission. Our work was even recognised by the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner—a huge honour and a testament to our team’s dedication.

The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
