## **Trustees report for the year ended 30 April 2022**
## **Review of past activities**
1. Access Uk reverted to the physical engagement of our beneficiaries whilst still retaining some remote support for our service users. (Hybrid delivery model).
2. The number of beneficiaries engaged and supported on all our provisions fell to 4,000 across the year. This was due to the relaxation of covid rules and protocols and the completion of some of our programmes, e,g. Haringey Community Gold and Road CEO (Divert).
3. Achieved over 70% beneficiary conversion rate, helping our service users to progress into Education, Employment and Enterprise pathways.
4. Completed the first year of delivery of the Road CEO entrepreneurship and youth diversion programme in the London borough of Brent.
5. Secured an agreement to supply the RSPCA with diverse talent
6. Our M.D., Nana Agyeman, completed the SSE (School of Social Entrepreneurs) Scale-Up programme.
7. Secured a new operational base in the London borough of Brent
8. Completed the 3-year delivery of the London mayor and lottery-funded, Road-CEO (Divert) and Haringey Community Gold programme. The youth engagement and careers programme supported over 8,000 young beneficiaries in the London borough of Haringey and surrounding areas.
## **Future developments**
1, The cost of living crisis disproportionately impacts the BME community and families, with more than half of households living below the UK poverty line. Access UK intends to approach energy and fuel companies to support our campaign to recruit "Money-Wise" advisers who will help our vulnerable beneficiaries to navigate the precarious economic climate.
2. There is a massive crisis of staff shortages in both the NHS and education sectors. Access UK intends to arrange a meeting with the secretaries of the state for health and education to secure a government-backed recruitment pathway for health and education professionals from Ghana.
3. Arrange an international meeting with the Ghanaian minister for health and education, respectively, to facilitate and discuss the movement of qualified health and education professionals to the UK for work purposes.
4. Consult the MET in addressing and tackling systemic racism within the police force and improving community engagement.
5. Establish a joint delivery project with the charity Barnardos, incorporating a national helpline service.
6. Launch a Stop & Search masterclass roadshow with other grassroots organisations/providers.
7. Establish a delivery partnership with the charity Black Child Agenda.
8. Submit a replacement grant application for Access UK's lottery & DWP funding programmes
Financial policies are in place to ensure the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The board of trustees receive regular financial reports to enable them to monitor the charity's income and expenditure thus keeping them up to date with the Trust's financial position.

- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- 1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
