## Chairs Forward
It gives me pleasure to think that the New Hope Global has stepped into its 15th year. With a vision of providing care and support to the disadvantaged and deprived ethnic minority groups, specially the Bangladeshi community in Birmingham, the organisation started its journey in 2006. Over the last 15 years, we have secured a well-earned reputation of making a significant contribution to poverty alleviation and social welfare through innovative and sustainable projects with the valuable support of Birmingham City Council, NHS, GPs, Job Centre Plus, community organizations, local communities and various faith organisations including churches,temples, mosques and synagogues.
Since 2014, New Hope Global has been working for the greater welfare of the community as a registered charity in accordance with the Charity Commission of England and Wales. With a noble mission of expanding the sphere of its dedicated services on a wider network, New Hope kicked off its journey as New Hope Global in December 2019. During the next few years, we plan on expanding our operations nationally and internationally in various projects encompassing employability skills training, integration through language training, health, fitness, mentoring and sports activities, entrepreneurial skills development, and youth development among many other initiatives to improve the livelihood of ethnic minorities.
We are passing an extremely challenging time due to global pandemic and uncertainty stemmed from Brexit. These two incidents together have posed significant threats of imminent economic volatility and social insecurity. At this critical juncture, New Hope Global has grown strength to strength by expanding its intervention to the hard-to-reach people of the communities. During the year 2020, we have secured funding of £325,000.00 from 19 different funders for implementing 19 projects. Amidst the pandemic induced lockdown, we have provided unwavering support to our beneficiaries by conducting virtual yoga session, prescription services, mental health advice over phone and food supplies. All these activities moved us closer to the community, help us realise the people’s need better and enabled us to understand how we should approach and deliver services to our beneficiaries. Through building digital network, our projects have significantly reduced loneliness and isolations among the beneficiaries during the lookdown period. This annual report 2021 encapsulates our activities and achievements over the last one year.
I would like to convey my sincere thanks to my team comprised of extraordinarily enthusiastic staff, who are consistently being recognised for their excellent services and innovative approach to creating solutions that suits our clients. We pride ourselves on our relentless investments into nurturing talent, expertise and innovation and are committed to supporting the personal and professional growth of each team member. Moreover, we are sincere into adopting the latest IT technology and harnessing the organizational agility. Amidst this unstable economic and political climate, we feel responsible to continue supporting the youth, unemployed adults, families, faith issues, health problems or any struggling individual have need for our services.

## Manager's Message
The Annual Report and Accounts of New Hope Global describe the activities of NHG. I would like to highlight the unprecedented time that we faced as a nation. This year has been catastrophic for all, especially amongst the most vulnerable groups of people within the communities. The Bangladeshi community was one of the most infected groups in the first wave of the pandemic in the UK and witnessed the highest rate of death. NHG would like to pay tribute to all those who have lost loved ones to the pandemic and hope that lessons learned from this pandemic will help us save lives if another pandemic occurs.
It was a privilege for me to join New Hope Global in August 2020, with 27 years’ experience of working in the third sector. This is my pleasure to note that amidst the multiple challenges posed by the pandemic, NHG has brought about myriad changes and innovation in its mode of project delivery. In the face of Covid-19 related restrictions, New Hope has provided fully configured and ready to be used devices to its beneficiaries who are predominantly digitally excluded and build a virtual network among the beneficiaries so that they can join the activities of befriending, yoga, relaxation technique, counselling, baking and recipe sharing and quiz sessions and get rid of their increased level of anxiety.
Moreover, we have launched large scale myth bursting and awareness programme regarding Covid-19 vaccination among the communities in collaboration with Tesco, Aston Lane. NHG hosted several discussions and seminars to see if we could have taken any actions to save more lives. It was clear that families living in overcrowded housing, families who have come from a poverty-stricken background, people employed in the care industry, security, private hire taxis were the most infected. It did not help when false information was spreading faster in the community than facts.
We are immensely proud of the NHG staff, trustees and volunteers who have shown incredible levels of commitment, consistency, and effort for the welfare of the community at the darkest hour. Moreover, we are overwhelmed by the unwavering support demonstrated to NHG by its beneficiaries. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed funders for their support in recent months – from small to big who stepped in to assist our pandemic response programmes to individuals who were moved to donate food parcels for the community. We cannot write this report without conveying our sincere thanks to the NHS for their work and commitment during a challenging time. We are proud of our NHS services and lucky that today we are a country that still has this service.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document:**
New Hope Global is a charitable and company limited by guarantee, constituted under a trust deed dated 14[th] February 2014 and transferred into the charitable company on 22[nd] September 2014. It is a registered charity in England and Wales. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees:**
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. At the balance sheet date, the charity is managed by a board of three trustees including other four members appointed because they strongly endorse the charitable objectives of the organisation. When appointing trustees, the charity aims to ensure there is a broad range of relevant knowledge, skills and experience.

## **Trustee Induction and training:**
The Trust actively endorses training at all levels of the charity. New trustees participate in an induction process that new staff and volunteers should follow, to include spending time. engaged with all the Trust’s projects, relevant information regarding health and safety and personal safety and role-related knowledge where applicable including DBS clearance. 2020 Trustees attended number of training online to continue effectively acting as trustees under the conditions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The trustees of New Hope Global, were very quick to adapt and implement changes to ensure smooth and safe running of the charity, importantly ensuring the safety of staff, volunteers and of its beneficiaries was paramount.

## **Organisational structure:**
The trustees decide on all major new initiatives and are regularly updated on grants, budgets,public relations and fundraising campaigns. New initiatives are normally developed by centre manager and project coordinators in consultation with the Chairman and trustees where appropriate, supported by an assessment of project needs. Trustees receive regular financial updates, which form the basis of the routine financial monitoring. The charity works to build a culture of transparency at all levels to ensure all partners and stakeholders in the organisation can participate in its development. We frequently listen and receive feedback to and from our clients and beneficiaries and many of the service delivery improvements come directly from us **“** beneficiaries **”** according to their needs and demands.The manager, Chairman and the Treasurer hold regular team meetings to monitor and control the organisation. Specific projects are managed through project steering committee where appropriate. Each project manager is also encouraged to contribute to fortnightly e-mail updates, which are circulated to volunteers, staff, and trustees. Unfortunately, we had to cease the activities of our volunteers in the first lockdown, but they continued to keep in touch and we were able to engage them towards the end of 2020.
## **Risk management:**
A risk register is used in association with risk assessments under the charity’s health and safety policy to manage risk. Risks addressed range from those associated with sources of income, through continuity of service to matters such as personal security and lone working. Systems have been set in place to mitigate risk and where appropriate, staff have been instructed accordingly. The trustees last conducted a fresh review of major risks during 2017/2018 in the light of the substantial growth that the charity has experienced and changes to the risk register are discussed at each trustees meeting. However no one could have envisaged the devastation and impact global pandemic would have on charities businesses and individuals, thus NHG have carried out a full and extensive risk assessment to ensure the safety and welfare of our staff, tenants and visitors and are continually monitoring and updating this assessment as government guidance changes.
Through continuity of service to matters such as personal security and lone working, working from home and in isolation. Systems have been set in place to mitigate risk and where appropriate, staff have been instructed accordingly.
The charity’s fundraising strategy and plans are regularly reviewed and updated. Such reviews ensure we fully diversify funding to mitigate the risk of over-dependence on one source of income. All NHG staff received online bid writing and funding training, giving individuals the ability to make small to medium size applications, as a result we secured funding from 19 different charities and funders. NHG has a diverse portfolio and fundraising goals which included: adding to the range of income-generating social and charity activities, especially donations from charity grants investing social media campaigns whose goals continue to include raising the profile of thecharity’s activities nationally and recruiting new donors.

## **NEW HOPE’S ONLINE FUNDRAISING**
Fundraising is the way in which charities ask for donations or other financial support from the public, businesses, Government, foundations and others. Voluntary donations and other fundraising activity provides the funds that enables the nation to have a thriving voluntary sector and provides a wide array of charitable services that benefits people and communities at home and abroad.
Giving to good causes is a huge part of our culture in the UK, with the British public alone donating over £9 billion annually, and supporting charities through a range of other fundraising activities.
New Hope dedicated staff, committed volunteers, and renowned management committee members, third parties and fellow charity supporters are working together to raise fund for the charity.
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus and national lockdown, all the face to face fundraising had to be stopped to halt the spread of the virus. We have therefore, started online fundraising efforts. Our online fundraising campaigns connect people with causes they care about. Our fundraising goals also include developing positive, sustainable and respectful relationships with supporters and embedding the values of our organisation into our strategy and approach to raising money.
Following are our online fundraising platforms. We expect generous donations from all our wellwishers.

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner**
The trustees who are also directors of the company for the purpose 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 under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 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:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
