Trustees and Volunteers
Our volunteering support is growing steadily. We successfully managed to recruit two more volunteers this year for the charity. The new recruits helped to deliver number admin jobs, as well as providing support with Food packages and setting up Reconnect and Rebuild project for women leaving prison .
After a great struggle, we also managed to recruit three more trustees as per our last year’s commitment.
Challenges, Achievements and Performance
On behalf of the Trustees, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our doners and volunteers for providing us with the support and resources which has made it possible for us to provide essential services for the community and the women and young women we serve.
In 2021, the charity focused greatly on evaluating existing services, and took an account of what is work and what needs to change. This exercise helped to eliminate what was becoming a challenge.
The end of year provided new window of opportunities, especially on the back of COVID. We are all very excited for the developments for the coming year.
New Projects
This year saw a successful launch of Skill Development and coaching programs. These programs are holistically designed to provide opportunities for ethnic minority women to increase their confidence and motivation to gain new skills in relation to employability and financial capability.
The integrated approach to ethnic women's learning needs is delivered in a safe and secure environment for women to learn, and move forward positively in their lives.

The charity is in its third year and the total income for the year amounted to £11,570. There were no restricted incoming resources.
