Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular promotion of access to education for adult migrants in the Yorkshire and Humber region.
A range of different groups have continued to benefit from our work:
ESOL learners across the Yorkshire and Humber region can find out about available classes to meet their needs, including online provision.
ESOL providers , tutors and volunteers have been supported as they made the difficult transition to online ESOL provision, and helped to understand and meet the needs of their most vulnerable learners through a time of crisis.
Organisations supporting ESOL learners are able to offer better advice to their clients about availability of ESOL.
Funders including local authorities can make use of the newly developed analytics to have a better understanding of ESOL provision in their area.
Achievements and performance
Summary of main activity April 2020- March 2021:
In April 2020 the website had been successfully up and running for 6 months. There were 124 providers registered on the site, delivering classes in over 220 locations across the region. The website was averaging between 3-5,000 page views per month. However, in April 2020 the UK was also experiencing its first ‘lockdown’ due to the coronavirus pandemic. All face-to-face ESOL provision came to an abrupt halt. Unsurprisingly, the number of people accessing the website to look for classes plummeted. Page views hit an all-time low in May 2020.
ESOL providers and tutors had to switch to online provision, mostly with very little or no experience of working in this way. It quickly became clear that there was a role for LEYH in helping people make these changes.
In May 2020 we ran our first online networking event. This focussed on how to use Zoom for online teaching. We deliberately limited numbers of attendees to 40 to facilitate participation, and also because we were nervous having never run an online event before. The event was quickly fully booked and the evaluations were very positive. Clearly we could provide something that people needed.
Between May and December 2020 we delivered monthly online networking events covering different topics to help ESOL tutors respond to the pandemic. Sessions covered different aspects of teaching remotely, and related issues such as maintaining mental wellbeing while working from home and supporting vulnerable learners.
We were always aware that developing networking across the region was an important part of the LEYH project, but none of us could have foreseen that the pandemic would increase the relevance of these events. We were able to bring people together as they struggled to come to terms with significant changes to their working practices, and due to our connections we were able to invite a range of different contributors to offer their support.
In June 2020 we were delighted that Bradford joined the project. The Development workers quickly got to work supporting Bradford providers to list their classes on the website. We also ran an online induction session specifically for Bradford providers.
During 2020 Migration Yorkshire commissioned an independent evaluation of the Learning English in Yorkshire and the Humber (LEYH) project seeking the views of providers, tutors and learners across the region. The outcome of this was a very positive document reflecting high regard for the project across the region. In the Spring of 2020 MESH was invited by Migration Yorkshire to contribute to a bid they were making to the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF). The bid contained a number of different elements around ‘Refugee Integration Yorkshire and Humber’ (RIYH). In the autumn we were delighted to learn that this bid was successful, securing over £250k funding for MESH over a 2-year period (Jan 2021-Dec 2022). This funding has enabled us not only to maintain the website but also to develop other aspects of the project.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Achievements and performance (continued)
We made a number of other additions to the website for example adding information in community languages about Covid, and a news page. Between January and March 2021 a radical overhaul of the analytics was made to improve the information that we are able to give to providers and local authorities to help inform strategic planning for ESOL across the region.
As the effects of the pandemic continued we realised that it was vital that the website listed online provision. This was added over the course of the summer 2020 so that by the autumn we had over 60 online classes listed on the website. These included opportunities beyond the Yorkshire and Humber region as one of the advantages of online classes is that learners can attend anywhere.
Since the start of the AMIF project in January 2021 we have been busy developing some of the additional strands to the project, such as developing localised ESOL teaching resources and creating a directory of ESOL training opportunities across the region. These strands will go live on a subsite to be launched in September 2021.
The Project Advisory Group has continued to meet quarterly throughout this reporting period, bringing together people from a range of different areas whose expertise in the field of ESOL has been vital in helping to guide the development of the project.
We were pleased and relieved to see the number of visitors to the website recover post-lockdown. Numbers remained high during the second and third lockdowns, in part due to the work of a volunteer with a masters degree in digital marketing who helped us to improve traffic from Google Ads. We are very grateful for her support.
For MESH as for everyone, this has been a very turbulent year with challenges that no-one could have foreseen. Despite that, MESH has been successful in securing significant funding which has enabled the project not just to continue but to grow.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year was £34,988, including net receipts of £18,006 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £16,982 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £19,944.
Our reserves policy is to hold 2-3 months' worth of salary expenses.
The Trustees are still considering the upper and lower level of reserves since we now have a different staffing structure.
At the end of the funding period, end December 2022, we plan to hold a cash reserve to meet the costs of 3 months' worth of salaries and 3 months' worth of website maintenance and support costs, a minimum of £25,000.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
