achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|NWTCA is a charitable, cultural, educational
non-profit
organisation
dedicated
to
increase, promote, foster friendship, public
knowledge and understanding of the
Turkish
culture
and
language.
NWTCA organises community events and
activities where people of all ages and
nationalities
can
come
together
to
experience Turkish culture through Turkish
music,
festivals,
dance,
food
and
art. NWTCA plays an integral role in
bringing the Turkish-British community
together in the North West of England.
One of the main services we offer is
"community language teaching" of Turkish
for children and adults. This has enabled us
to offer a wider range of classes and
activities for people of Turkish origin or
people
with
some
kind
of
Turkish
connection. Some children who have
attended our classes could not previously
speak a word of Turkish, now they have
mastered the basics and have a sense of| |their culture and background-our weekend| |---| |sessions are particularly valued by single| |parents whose children live with primary| |carers with no knowledge of Turkish.| |As children move through study modules| |and pass progress tests included in the| |materials, they develop a sense of academic| |achievement & personal achievement| |independent of more formal language| |learning.| |The Turkish lessons we provide, also serve| |as a social hub for the Turkish community as| |we have a waiting area for parents to| |socialise when they wait for their children.| |We have continued our online classes after| |covid in line with what our community| |wanted. We clearly see the advancement| |in our student’s learning of Turkish| |language and culture. The students build| |strong friendships and take part in our| |friendly art and writing contests. We have| |supported our students and their families| |by continuing with Turkish lessons and| |making them available for a small fee to| |cover costs. The children kept their| |cameras off during the lessons and the| |lessons have not been recorded to stay in| |line with Data protection regulations.| |Children and adults develop a sense of| |citizenship, not only as part of discovering| |their Turkish identity but also as a result of| |finding a valued place as a bicultural| |individual within an inclusive British society.| |Our volunteers developed skillsets that| |helped them to raise their employability| |and boosted their confidence.| |NWTCA Folk Dance group weekly lessons| |have continued online and in person. These| |lessons are growing in number and exhibits.| |Different regional folk dances have been| |introduced
and
the
dance
group| |performances were a great success at| |different events and we hope to carry on| |and grow this activity going forward| 30/05/2021 Visual arts workshop was exhibited at Horizons festival. Members of the community attendant this workshop and produced some creative artwork which was later exhibited at Horizons Festival 29/10/21 We organised our first Republic Day formal ball at the Midland Hotel with live Music and dinner. Our community felt proud to celebrate in a way that reflected our national and cultural values. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
