5) REVIEW OF THE YEAR: 2023 - 2024
A) REPORT BY THEMANAGEMENT COMMITTEE:
The year 2024 has not been a very busy year for the BMMBN1 organization, given that we did not receive any funds and grants as expected, so we still in the process of applying for grants, then we still waiting for more funding to come through that would enable our organization to fulfill its aims and goals as planned.
B) FINANCES:
It has been very difficult for our organization to get funds from different funding bodies and grants making organizations, as many applications for grants and funds were made to various funding sources, but none of them was successful.
However we worked very hardly throughout the year in order to try and get some kind of funding that would have helped our organization to secure and then establish a proper and strong income for a better future of the financial situation of the organization.
C) ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
So given the actual state of the financial situation of our organization, we were not able to provide as much as possible different kinds of projects and activities on the behalf of the community as we have planned to do. We took advantage of taking part in different kinds of trainings ran by the Harrow Council for Voluntary Service organization, in order to enable the members of our committee management to become more effective and capable to run and implement well the work of our organization.

D) Planning for a better future: We will make various contacts with different larges organizations and voluntary groups based in the community, in order to liaise and then work together in a bid to try and create a strong partnership that would enable our organization to grow up, to be well established and then secure a better and strong future.
6) ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR:
During the year 2023 - 2024, we have been working hardly about different issues that will allow our organization to exist and function for a better future.
The following works and Activities have been carried out:
-
Various Contacts and meeting have been made with: -Different Voluntary organizations and Community groups such as: Harrow Council for voluntary Service, BEMA, Central African Association for Development. – Different Schools and Training organization that will help us to have information on different training courses needed by the committee members of our organization.

ACCOUNTS:
INCOMES : This year, we did not receive grants, as funding was very difficult to reach due to lack of funding from different bodies and grant making organisations.
Expenses: No expenses were made as there was no charitable activities taking place in this year.
Audited Accounts : Given the actual state of our financial situation, we are not able to provide an account prepared by a professional accountant as requested by the charity law, so following on the lower income for this year, we have been able to prepare a breakdown of income and expenditure made by the treasurer of the organization.
ACTIVITIES: No activities took place due to the lack of grants from grants making bodies.
