This year, our second beginning in lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic has continued to be a challenging year for all and we thank God for what we have been able to achieve at SAWN this year. SAWN would like to thank our dedicated staff and volunteers, funders, local community, partners and supporters who despite the challenge of the Covid 19 pandemic have enabled SAWN to provide support throughout this difficult year. SAWN continues to grow and make significant progress in the support we offer to empower women and enable them to be the best they can be. SAWN continues to work in partnership with the community of Chadderton, Oldham Borough Council, Action Together, Women’s Resource Centre, Positive Steps, Lazarus Ministries, Bethesda church, Great Places Housing Group, First Choice Homes, Oldham Women’s Network, Women’s Environmental Network, The Children’s Society, Co-op Community Fund, Forever Manchester, Smallwood Trust, Lankelly Chase, Turn 2 Us, Young Women’s Trust, Oldham Community Meals, Answer Cancer, Cash for Kids, Screwfix, In Control, Knightsbridge solicitors and Platts solicitors.

SAWN continues to be an active partner and to take a lead role within the Mama Health & Poverty Partnership (MHaPP), a collective of individual organisations that work with Black African Women throughout the 10 Boroughs of Greater Manchester. SAWN and MHaPP offer specialist services working within an Afro centric perspective through a decolonized lens starting from where the person is. The language skills from within the partnership continue to expand and cover most languages spoken by the African communities settled in Greater Manchester. Languages spoken include Swahili, Lingala, Luganda, Lugisu, Arabic, Igbo, Yoruba, Pidgin, Edo, Zulu, Shona, Ndebele, Benin, Rwandese, Kirundi and Nyanja with increasing demand for French Spanish and Portuguese language skills. Excellent use of this valuable resource is achieved through linking mainstream services e.g. health, education, benefits, job search, ESOL, life skills that provide general services to culturally appropriate support that enables African women to access and understand the system and remove barriers to participation and understanding.
SAWN continues to be recognised and valued as the experts with lived experience in matters that affect Black African Women and is seen as an integral part of the local community. This has only been possible due to the resilience, creativity, energy and
P a g e | **5**
commitment of everyone involved with SAWN and we humbly thank you for your ongoing support.
SAWN held a strategic away day in February 2022 bringing together volunteers, staff
and members of the SAWN’s trustee board. This time gave the team time to reflect

on the success of SAWN and to consider
**----- End of picture text -----**
the organisation’s growth and direction in the future ensuring we stay true and committed to our mission.
SAWN has responded positively and proactively to the increasing challenges COVID 19 has presented resulting in increased demand for all services and support. A variety of projects were facilitated in creative ways to ensure women who are recognised as disadvantaged and socially isolated were not further isolated. Whilst initially this had to be facilitated via zoom and was 100% digitally based during the last year and first 9 months of this year, we are proud to say SAWN has supported Black African women
P a g e | **6**
and their families throughout the pandemic via zoom and have recently started to return to face to face contact.
During January 2021 in response to the rising demand for support and numbers of women accessing SAWN in person, SAWN recognised they could no longer accommodate people within the existing space and be able to meet this demand. A successful funding bid with Action Together and Screwfix enabled SAWN to commission a remodel of the group space and office area to accommodate the rise in demand. SAWN is now the proud host of an amazing meeting space and office area which can host 25 women and is available for other groups in the area to use.
SAWN has delivered the following activities, services and projects this year both digitally and online.
FGM and cultural awareness training and support was provided to health and education professionals, community leaders with 71 women supported on an individual basis.
P a g e | **7**
SAWN in partnership with MHaPP has linked with Salford University to provide placements to Mental Health student nurses to increase their awareness and knowledge of issues faced by the women we support, and the importance and value of community based culturally appropriate support enabling them to meet their competencies. On completion of their placement the students said “ _We have had a fantastic placement, staff are very helpful and supportive, we have also achieved most of our competencies in this placement. We will also like to say a very big thank you to the team for your time, patience and understanding”._
SAWN has supported1003 women and their families to access various projects to provide support in a range of areas to meet the need.
Projects and support delivered during this year include the following:
P a g e | **8**
## **Oldham Community Champions**
SAWN, Oldham Community Meals OLCOM, Oldham Council and USSAF continued to ensure Black African people had accurate information to make the best decisions for them regarding COVID 19. Community Champions reached out to Black African communities providing information in a variety of languages and community settings including places of worship. A recognition and celebration of the success of the work undertaken by partners was held in March 2021 hosted by Action Together.
## **SAWN Furniture Bank**
Demand continues to increase for pre-loved low-cost affordable furniture for people faced with hardship for many reasons. SAWN continues to provide the best shopping experience for people using the hub providing choice from available stock. SAWN continues to provide furniture packs for those most in need. It is with some sadness, thanks and relief that we said goodbye to our old van, and it is with thanks to Great Places that we are now the proud owners of a “New to us” reliable van allowing SAWN to collect and deliver furniture to customers in a more efficient and timely way. In partnership with The Children’s Society and as part of the Oldham Community Crisis Response support SAWN has continued to provide 310 subsistence and basic furniture packs to Black African and BME families.
## **Equally Ours**
This project has enabled the furniture hub to improve the infrastructure and develop activity to increase sales and sustainability for the future. Volunteers have received training in retail, online-sales, customer services and safe trading standards, marketing and customer service. SAWN is currently upskilling volunteers and staff to improve its digital presence and marketing of goods to ensure we continue to reach our community and improve in this area.
## **SAWN Food Hub**
SAWN is an active lead member of the Greater Manchester Food Poverty Group, Oldham Food Solutions Network and connected to The Bread & Butter Thing.

SARATI continues to grow and meet weekly and is now led by the women. 35 women engage in person with another 10 joining via zoom every week. Women see this as their space, their place using their voice where they support each other both formally and informally. The agenda and topics are suggested and set by the women with guest speakers invited as appropriate. Peer support in action as women have grown in confidence and resilience taking the lead together. A new peer led support group is emerging and in the formative stages from SARATI supporting women with HIV. Women supporting others to become contributing resilient women in their community. Women tell us “SARATI is the place to be and I never want to go home”

## **Supporting Women into Business SWIB**
16 Black African women were enabled to develop skills and be equipped to succeed in enterprise. Women learnt about different business models, how to design a business plan, marketing, and responsibilities of running a business and developed their ideas as sole traders and Community Interest Companies. 16 African women are now businesswomen offering a range of goods and services via the SAWN Ventures website within the community of Oldham.
## **DOVE Project**
10 Black African women were provided with support and in kind start up grants to help them to set up their social enterprises, most of the women set up their own Community Interest Companies and some were assisted with identifying resources to set up and deliver their projects. The impact of both these projects will be measurable and far reaching. SAWN intend to build an army of resilient, successful, women entrepreneurs who are motivated and able to affect change, raise aspirations and have a meaningful impact not only in their personal lives but also in their wider networks and communities.
## **The Ideas Fund**
The Ideas Fund has enabled SAWN women in partnership with Dr Suryia Nayak Academic Researcher at Manchester University to think and learn how research can support better mental health and wellbeing with activities such as singing, writing and growing produce at the Growing to grow project. SAWN has partnered with Northern Lily CIC to utilise space at Grassroots Failsworth to facilitate sessions learning how to grow and nurture food, fruit and vegetables which will be shared amongst the community. SAWN Sisters of the Yam choir has been born and now meet weekly performing a range of songs in a variety of African languages. Sisters of the Yam choir have been guest performers at the Royal Exchange Theatre and performed at the Christmas Lights in Royton Oldham. SAWN women have also visited the HOPE Theatre watching a play Forgotten Voices by playwright David Moorhead who kindly facilitated a creative writing session at the Royal Exchange Theatre. SAWN women encouraged by these experiences are in the early stages of progressing their creative writing skills. Requests for attendance at events are increasing promoting the choir and SAWN whilst growing the confidence and raising the self esteem of SAWN women
P a g e | **12**
## **Women’s Environmental Network (WEN)**
SAWN with WEN participated in a climate change project learning about climate change and the damaging impact it has on everyone. In November 2021 26 SAWN women attended and participated in COP26 in Glasgow to showcase recycled goods and perform Dorothy's Duvet a short theatre piece that grew from this project.

P a g e | **14**
community priorities in addition to changing funder practice. This is a long- term project and is in the early stages with funding decisions being made in December 2023
SAWN is proud and grateful to be able to offer a diverse range of support networks via the projects to women recognising marginalised Black African women are often more affected by barriers including language barriers, poor health, isolation, poverty, lack of opportunities. SAWN continues to care deeply and passionately about the women and their families who come through our door. We are proud to be an organisation that continues to change the lives of the women we support and seek out partners to support SAWN women through accessing appropriate funding recognising this is an essential element of the work we do. Thank you to all funders for their support and belief in the work SAWN does.
## **Turn 2 Us**

## **ACTS 435**
SAWN as a partner agency has accessed funding to support women and families to support individual need, prevent further crisis and enabled people to move forward with their lives positively.
## **Young Women’s Trust**
The Young women’s Trust was instrumental in getting emergency funds twice to young women who would have had no support otherwise. The Young Women Trust also gave women laptops to enable digital inclusion so girls would participate in school and socialising during the lockdown. Many of our young women are also benefiting from other services like mentoring continually.
Whilst the last year has seen an increase in demand for all services and support SAWN is proud to have responded positively and proactively ensuring marginalised Black African women and their families have a voice that is heard, support that is culturally appropriate and the opportunity to be the best they can be irrespective of their status and the barriers they face daily.
## SAWN women say
“I am not alone, I have sisters like me, I am home”
“I am not ashamed of me, I am ok”
P a g e | **16**
“My children will have a better life; they will I know”
“We laugh, we cry, we love, we die…we are woman”
“SAWN heard me, understood me and what was happening”
I am ok, I am ok, I am…ok…good”
Onwards and Upwards………..thank you.

The Charity's Trustees (who are also the Directors for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for
the preparation of the preparation of the accounts.

# **SUPPORT AND ACTION FOR WOMEN'S NETWORK (SAWN) INDEPENDENT EXAMINIER'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 set out on pages five to nine.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity's Trustees (who are also the Directors for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for
the preparation of the preparation of the accounts.
The Charity's Trustees consider that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
- -to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiners report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be draw in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
