2. To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by working with people who are socially excluded on the grounds of their ethnic origin, religion belief or creed (In particular, person of the Coptic Christian faith who are of Egyptian nationality , origin and descent and who live in England, including those seeking asylum and those granted refugee statues) to relieve the needs of such people and assist them to integrate into society, in particular by: 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

(I) Providing education in English language and communication skills; (II)providing support and opportunities to encourage and enable 

members of the Egyptian Coptic community to participate more effectively with the wider community; 

3. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their condition of life. 

## **Who We Are** 

We are a community organisation supporting families through social, educational, and cultural activities. Our focus is on promoting social inclusion for people who are socially excluded, especially those of Egyptian heritage — including asylum seekers and refugees.

## **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 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.
