• Offering English language and communication classes.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

• Creating opportunities for community participation and integration.

• Providing support and facilities for those facing age, disability, or financial challenges.

Supporting Children & Young People

Children are at the heart of our work. We run social and educational activities to help them achieve their potential. During lockdown, we moved our tutoring in Science, Maths, and English for Years 5–10 online, ensuring children could keep up with school and improve their English skills. These classes have been a lifeline for many families, with 18–25 families participating weekly.

Building Community Connections

Since March 2020, our weekly online cookery classes have brought people together to share recipes — including traditional Egyptian dishes — taught by volunteer chefs from our community. The sessions are open to all abilities and genders, and we also deliver meals to older, isolated members.

We have since expanded our activities to include:

• Sewing workshops.
