charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|School supported Slovakian expatriates in the
UK during very challenging Covid times.
Slovakian expats in the UK have no families
here and it was very challenging times, we also
helped vulnerable mums and cooperated with
other charities and referred them to
professionals whereas we acted as first point
of contact.
We also organized small events, Covid rules
permitted for children not feeling well.
We also had weekly lessons online, out of
which some are still actively held
Management are actively participating on
implementation of GSEC into English School
System. We also hosted Slovakian Charity at
our premises and created links with Slovakia.
Our pupil successfully made exams in Slovakian
schools.
We teach language on weekly basis. And
Supported Ukraine, we made collections with
Ukrainian charity in Manchester and
management team member personally
delivered it to Ukraine and stayed volunteering
there.
The school cooperates with other Slovak
Schools in the UK as well
and is a member of the Association of Czech
and Slovak Schools in the
UK.|
SCCM also cooperates with other Charitable organizations in the UK and actively supports care homes with “act of kindness” activities with children. The charity also works closely with the Embassy of Slovakia in London. The trustees identified as the major risk to our activities frequent lack or limited number of suitably qualified teaching staff, so we are on a constant look-out for new colleagues. All our events as well as main activities are run by the trustees. lt is our current aim to try to involve more our community in the everyday running of the organisation. That said, we are very grateful to the parents of the children enrolled at the school who support our events with contributions to our food stalls or tombolas and who help with some of our events. For unexpected situations, although we do not have an official policy on reserves, we monitor our cash flow very carefully and always have funds to cover the vitals costs during the year, such as rent and teachers' payments. We plan to continue cooperation with local charities and actively promote social inclusion which is our purpose and passion of our people.
