## **Structure Governance and Management** 

The members of St. Korkos Orthodox church are currently meeting at St James Church in Hands worth in Birmingham. The trustees’ are body that manage the charity’s activity in line with the internal memorandum and the rules set by the charity commission. The trustees of the charity are elected by the members. Members are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the trustees. 

## **Our Charity** 

The number of Asylum seekers and refugees arriving in the UK has been increasing from time to time. Most of these asylum seekers experience home sickness and face difficulties in integration with the UK environment, mainly because of the trauma they have experienced back home and, on their way, overseas. Some members of our community have been voluntarily assisting them by providing the basic information and guidance. This initiative has been advanced to organise the community and managed to set up a charity which was registered with the charity commission in August 2017. We are working on assisting the community in providing religious and other community services. We have started to support some children with their home learning and give necessary guidance for their 11+ entrance examinations and GCSE’s. We have also planned to provide wide range of services for the members of our charity and others who may need it. 

Our Despite of our plans, we have been challenged in fulfilling our objectives, mainly due to a lack of permanent place. At present we are using St James church in hands worth we are well settled and the people and the community members are very supportive. However to expand the service the trustees have intensively been working in fund-raising from the members and encouraged those who have not yet set up a direct debit to contribute any amount to the charity. This is explained to be made entirely based on their willingness. So far, we are doing very well, and we will continue to raise funds as may be necessary.

## Annual General meeting 

## Held on Sunday the 26th of September 2021 

## Apologies 

Apologies from: Mr Dawit Belay. 

The meeting was delayed due to covid 19 and it was done virtually. Mr Amanuel Fessahaye, the Vice chair person of the charity, opened the meeting with a prayer and thanking everyone for the hard work done in the year. He has mentioned all the religious and other community activities completed during the year. As mentioned in the last general meeting he focused on promoting better service for the community and work hard in fund raising in the aim of buying a property for the charity. 

## **Minutes of the previous meeting** 

Minutes of the last year’s meeting were read out by Mr Fessahaye, the vice chair person of the charity. The minutes were accepted by all the trustees. 

## **Activities** 

A report for the religious and other services provided in the year has been reported by Mr Eyasu and all the members agree to the report. 

## **Health and safety** 

The issue of health and safety is one of the top priorities in the charity activity. The charity has been taking all necessary measures to ensure that every service user is safe and the 



activities at the church are undertaken with diligence and due care. During the covid period all the government guidelines were strictly followed and Mr Fessahaye has highlighted that all who work with vulnerable people has been monitored in accordance to the guidelines. He stressed on, and any issues in relation to safety must be reported on time. He has reminded all that the necessary policies like insurance policies and DBS must be updated constantly. 

## **Election of new trustees** 

The charity believes that the trustees have to be elected by the members of the congregation for the duration of three years. However the service time of all or any member of the trustee can be extended if he/she is re-elected by the congregation. In September 2021 the trustees has called up on a meeting to the congregation for an election of new trustees. The congregation has agreed to delay the election of new trustees up until the time the project of buying of a property is completed. However, the existing members demanded that the election of new trustees should definitely be made regardless of the acquisition of a property is completed or not. A meeting is planned to be made for early February 2022. Mr Amanuel stressed the need of young generation’s participation in the management body and he suggested that they need to assist in many tasks of the trustees so that they can we can handover the tasks to them easily in the future. 

## **Our bankers** 

Our main bank is NatWest, where our most of our transaction is done through this bank. In addition we also have a bank account with Barclays bank. 

## **Acquisition of property** 

We have been delivering our services at St James Church for few years now. The people and the committee members of St James have been extremely supportive in our weekly services. We have been welcomed at the church to undertake our services and events unconditionally. All members of the trustees has expressed their appreciation and proposed 



to actively participate in any works carried out at the church.  In spite of this, the need for acquisition of a property still remains. All the members of the congregation are in support of the plan and agreed to assist financially and by any other means as may be required. Based on the contributions made so far and the continuous contributions been made by the members, we believed that we are in a position to buy a property. In completion this task we had continuous meetings and we have set up a three members committee who will be in charge of the assignment. We found a property in Smethwick which we hoped to be a place for our charity. This process has took us almost one year as the Sandwell city council took long time to approve the change of use and finally they come up with a decision to provide us a licence for a only five years. We could not proceed this decision as our plan and expectations was to use the building unconditionally.  In his process our charity has lost time and money. We never expected to face this challenge from the council as we believe we are working for a community which is in conjunction to what they are doing. Based on the last experience the trustees have made a decision to buy a property which is previously used for church or community activity. The trustees has instructed the building acquisition committees to work on finding new building and stressed to work hard on fund raising task and proposed a plan of action. 

## **Financial report** 

Mrs Tekhle presented the finance report, she explained that the incoming fund to words the accusation of a property has been satisfactory and she mentioned a lot work need to be done to get to the desired target. 

Mrs Tekhle indicated that the non refundable money paid in attempt of buying a property was the major expense of the year. She has also presented the report of the borrowing made from our members for the purpose of buying a property. She has indicated that all minor recurrent expenses have been covered by the members here and then. 

Mr. Fessahaye has thanked the accounts team for their hard work in handling the funds and for keeping our records up to date. Mrs Tekhle asked if everyone accepted the accounts and this was proposed by Mr Fessahaye and supported by all the trustees.

## **Sunday school** 

The number of families joined the charity has increased year after year so is the number of children attending the Sunday school. We have almost fifty children who regularly attend the Sunday school.  Some of them are born in the UK and others are those who have come over from Eritrea and Ethiopia. Even though most of the children are from Eritrea our charity is open for everyone. In the Sunday service we try to put the children in classrooms according to their age and level of understanding in religious and other studies. The individuals who are mentoring the children have been DBS checked and all the necessary supervision is made by a designated person in every lesson. 

As part of getting together we have taken a group of children to Canon Hill Park, swimming, foot ball and other activities. Most of the children found the trip engaging, our charity is planning to do more trips to other recreation centres. We have also made efforts to communicate with other churches to share experiences. 

## **Some highlights** 

## March - April 2020 

During this period, we have observed the forty days lent which was followed by Easter. Our Easter service was carried on virtually in accordance to covid-19 guidelines. The ceremony was completed in unusual way than before but the whole congregation understood the circumstance and hoped to celebrate the next Easter as normal.. 

## July 2020 

In July we celebrated our annual mass virtually similar to Easter due to covid-19 rules. The event is one of the two big church events carried out in February and July. 



January 2021 

In January 2020 we celebrated our Christmas virtually. According to our church tradition, Christmas is celebrated in early January. 

## February 2021 

In February we have celebrated our first annual event in which few people have been attended due to covid-rules, All the members has shown a great care to each other and to the entire community by following covid rules and it was blessing and has created a good opportunity for meeting few of the church members together.
