SIKH RECOVERY NETWORK

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

1 AUGUST 2019 to 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 December 2020.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the charity are the relief of people in need by reason of addiction to drugs or alcohol and associated psychological difficulties, including support for their families and codependents, in particular but not exclusively by provision of advice information and guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS

In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings and ensure that this is the driving force behind our activities

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Since the Sikh recovery Network (SRN) registered as a Charity, we have continued to deliver recovery solutions to addicts and their families, helping them rehabilitate back into their families and into society.

SRN have delivered Presentations and talks up and down the country with great responses which have led to other recovery groups planned in the Panjabi Sikh Community. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 we could not start these meetings which were planned for Coventry, Leamington Spa, Gravesend and Wolverhampton.

New partnerships were formed with Turning Point and Dear Albert in Leicester. TV work with the Sikh Channel and Jaz presenting “Alcohol & Beyond” has continued to give the charity more exposure but also more clients are coming forward for help which is also good. I

An invitation to the Black Police Associations annual conference and feature in the magazine was especially useful and gave SRN the opportunity with our information stall to showcase our work in the community.

February 2020 saw SRN launch the Sikh Recovery Helpline which would give telephone support to addicts and their families.

Despite a challenging start to 2020 SRN still managed to reach out to addicts who wanted help. Due to lockdown restrictions recovery meetings were facilitated through Zoom and have been very successful.

During Alcohol Awareness week in November SRN launched daily podcasts talking to addicts in recovery and service providers, these proved extremely popular and will continue when lockdown restrictions ease.

Despite2020 being a challenging year we believe SRN made a great progress and can build on this in 2021.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

1 AUGUST 2019 to 31 DECEMBER 2020

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Sikh Recovery Network

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 5 to 7 .

Respective responsibilities of trustees and the examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention other than that disclosed below:
