The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who uses our community centre and the wider community of Bournemouth and neighbouring cities.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES:

Cooking and selling ethnic foods to raise funds: each week on Fridays the charity invites a voluntary chef to cook Turkish foods to raise funds for the Charity. This activity used to be done monthly, but it has become so popular then it was changed to weekly.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

Our community centre hall and rooms provide a valuable educational and recreational resource to all in our local community. A wide range of activities are organised and take place from our community centre.

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)

Turkish language courses: Turkish Consulate General in London appointed a Turkish language teacher to teach Turkish language and culture to pupils and adults at our association.

Supplementary school and homework support: at weekends and during school holidays a supervised homework club is supported and supervised by volunteers and over 35 children regularly attend the club.

Sport activities

The Charity organises sport events mainly in football and table tennis.

Fetes & Festivals: we have a little festival occasionally a few times yearly. Many people who are from different background attend to our festivals. Especially Turkish dishes are offered and presented to the visitors to taste including Turkish pastry, cakes, kebabs and local foods from different regions in Turkey. Many people are invited to this charity activity to buy and eat for fundraising. This is a really good cultural and social activity for the community spirit. During the festival, many people find a chance to speak and get to know each other while tasting good food. It is also good opportunity to learn about the culture and food while it is a collectively playing and entertaining event for all children together.

Picnic Events in the Parks: we organise picnic for all of its members with a cookout usually barbecue. Our picnic event has grown each year and is supported by so many from different nationalities, we reached hundreds. We are keen to see our picnic event expand to a festival.

The picnics were a way of responding to our community desire to make more use of parks by bringing people together to share in activities in a pleasant green setting.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity Volunteers are an important resource in community work. This year our Charity during the year has achieved to reach over 350 Turkish speaking people in Bournemouth and surrounding cities. This helped us increase our number of volunteers who then helped us organise and conduct more charitable and fund-raising activities than last year. Volunteers are involved in most of our community activities and we have now over 20 people regularly giving their time. Our language course and homework support sessions have proved to be very successful as we witnessed considerable improvements on some of the students who did not do well in the previous years. We also promoted and supported the right of parents to home educate their children as an additional support to sustain success of their children.
