Trustees and Volunteers
We successfully managed to recruit more volunteers for the charity which helped to deliver number of areas of our work in the early to mid-part of the year. But unfortunately, due to Covid, we were unsuccessful in recruiting more trustees as per our commitment. However, we are continuing with the effort and hope to see some improvements soon.
Challenges, Achievements and Performance
On behalf of the Trustees, we would like to thank our doners and volunteers for providing us with the support and resources that made it possible to provide essential services especially during covid.
The year 2020 proved to be extremely challenging as we lost out on number resources and manpower. Nevertheless, the project continued with full force delivering food and hot meals to many vulnerable families and homeless men and women in the borough of Hounslow, Hammersmith and Fulham and Chelsea and Kensington.
New Projects
We introduced few new initiatives of supporting and promoting women from BAME communities especially those living in poverty to adapt a “business mind” that will help in increasing their capacity to generate income, become financially independent and self-sufficient, eventually helping them to exit poverty permanently and living life in dignity.
The Healing initiative was introduced as a unique holistic program of healing from trauma-based situations to Personal development, with a keen interest on mental health. The program is delivered in different timeline setting incorporating in-depth personality and emotional assessments along with one-on-one customised coaching.
We were extremely proud to have introduced the Ex-offender resettlement program, which targeted women leaving prison, helping them to settle back into the community. We identified a gap of lack of support for BAME Asian Women in the Criminal Justice System in London.
The program supports women experiencing or have experienced the criminal justice system upon release and are affected by disadvantages and discrimination.
The program addresses the often-overlooked interconnected issues of faith, ethnicity, and gender, as well as dishonor, Shame, disownment, stigmatising, stereotyping, and lack of family and community support, upon release.
The program further focuses on supporting women to focus on their skills and ability to generate income, as securing employment upon release often extremely difficult.
