## **About Flashy Wings**
Flashy Wings Ministry is a UK BAME women’s charity based in South-East London. For the past eight years, we have served women from all walks of life in the Southwark estate by helping them deal with social, economic, and personal issues.
We engage women on diverse platforms: Workshops, classes, conferences, coffee mornings, and recreational activities. So far, our successes are evident by the outcomes of several community projects for women.
Flashy Wings Charity organization is developed with the goal of empowering women and helping them overcome unpalatable life situations. Our organization engages the female gender (young and old) with activities and resources ranging from domestic violence, wellbeing, health, immigration. technology to finances.
Additionally, we partner with the UK Parliament yearly, hosting the Parliament week, and we work with Southwark Council, Southwark neighbourhood police, and various community women’s groups.
One of the premises that set to make our project success is our creative approach to women engagement–our efforts to encourage and engage women with their community through interactive events and dialogue, another is social community building.
99% of women supported by our projects are of black ethnic minority origins. 70% Black African Origins 29% Caribbean Origins 1% from Asian.
We have reached over 300 women with our face-to-face activities and thousands on our digital platform.

## **Flashy Wings Ministry Trustee Report for the year 2021**
## **Summary of projects**
It has been an amazing year, as we are gradually getting use to the new normal, the covid-19 pandemic has challenged the community at large, but, at the same time, it has united us and given us the opportunity to appreciate life.
8
Flashy wings team has worked tirelessly, to connect BAME women in Southwark together to address issues that have affected us the most. From our survey, the top issues that were priority were domestic violence and mental health, that is why most of our projects in 2021 was created to support and address these issues.
We are also grateful to be recognised and awarded by various organisations. Which makes it worthwhile.
We started the year with our digital campaign/conference on the covid-19 vaccine, addressing conspiracy and religious theories that was hindering the BAME community from not taking the vaccine, the events were well attended and yielded positive result.
Many people that were part of the project have reported to have been vaccinated.
Flashy wings went ahead to design a booklet using medical professionals and researchers title A-Z on Covid-19 vaccine, which was wildly distributed during our outreaches all over Southwark, as part of our campaign to encourage the vaccine.
Flashy wings set up a digital E-learning course for parents, called Project Marigold. A lot of BAME mothers in Southwark are struggling to raise their teenage children, the project addresses issues pertaining to the gang, drugs, teenage pregnancy, etc. over 400 people downloaded the course.
9
Flashy wings set up a breakfast club once a month to address Mental Health issues, the breakfast meetings were well and attended, we invite professionals to give practical tips on caring for one’s wellbeing.
Flashy wings hosted a couple of digital Facebook-Live streams to address mental health impacts on women because of the pandemic.
They have been an uprise in domestic violence in Southwark, some of the users of our services are victims of domestic violence, as a result, we hosted a five-week Facebook-Live stream on domestic violence we had over 60,000 viewers. It was a very successful project.
Flashy wings hosted a mental health dinner, we wanted to address the taboos of mental health in the BAME community, it was well attended, a very educative and relaxing time.
We also hosted a five weeks group therapy workshop, for women that had anxiety and trauma issues, they were given professional tips on how to manage their stress levels.
We also provided counselling 1-1 support to women with no recourse to public funds but disparately need to talk to someone.
In the summer we enjoyed two recreational activities, we took over 40 women to the imperial wall museum, a trip down memory lane and we also enjoyed an outdoor picnic it was a fun and relaxing time.
10
Flashy wings had a grand Black history month event, it was a wonderful event celebrating black women’s achievements, taking lessons from history, enjoying African music, and everyone being treated to African cuisine.
We are still supporting some of our members that are refugees and migrants with food and essentials, this is a project we intend to continue as the harsh realities of their situations are distressing.
We end the year on a high with a Christmas dinner outing, it was a joyful celebration mood as Covid-19 has robed us all the joy of Christmas gatherings for two years.
In all we had a very eventful year amidst all our challenges, we are looking into 2022 with greater hope and optimism.
11
## **Our Challenges**
Flashy wings organisation is not without challenges although we are good at surmounting any mountain of problems around us.
One of our big challenges is the timing of accessing successful grants, we are a small grass-root charity, so our main source of grant is through funding. In most cases, it can take three or more months to access a successful grant, which leads to lots of delays, project pile over, and project spillover. For instance, this year we have not completed all our projects due to some funder payment delay, we are to carry some of the projects over to 2022. In some cases some funders do delay but want the project to end within the duration given, this can be very stressful for the team, although in every situation we always try our best.
The second challenge came since we did not have an office, we had a lot of equipment and it was no longer practical to keep those things in the house anymore, this problem was dealt with as we hired a storage space that is affordable, where we keep our equipment.
12
## **Achievements & Awards**
Flashy Wings have drawn a repertoire of ranks and reaching that includes winning the:
- Mayor of Southwark Civic Award
- Wise Women UK Award
- Southwark Star Award
- London Faith and Belief Community Awards
- Southwark volunteer champion
We have a track record of relentlessly pursuing and providing need-targeted solutions and high-impact projects.
We are set to be a light-bearer holding the forte to keep hope alive and help women see the light at the end of the tunnel beyond their hour of pain.
13
## **Aims for the coming year:**
We hope to find more long-term funders, funding that will last two or more years as it will help with planning and the stability of the organisation.
We also want to have some unrestricted funds as it will give us the liberty and freedom to create projects that are needed without restrictions.
We intend to make more of our digital presence known. In other words, we wish to create more digital events.
We intend to carry on with some of our projects that have been very successful like the breakfast morning and recreational therapy.
## **Flashy Wings Finances overall**
At the end of 2021, our income for the year was 68,486 our total expenditure was 62, 294.
Flashy Wings will continue to apply for grants it needs to carry on our projects and activities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of FLASHY WINGS MINISTRY**
## **Year ended 30st March 2021**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30st April 2021 which are set out on pages … to …
## **Res ective res onsibilities of trustees and examiner p p**
The trustees 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 to audit 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 inde endent examiner’s re ort p p**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and Companies Act 2006. 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.
## **Inde endent examiner’s statement p**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
