## **Achievements**
We've had a very successful year. Throughout this year, we've undertaken various projects and continued our health and wellbeing initiatives to engage and empower the local community, especially in Enfield, Haringey, and Ealing.
4
Haringey has a higher rate of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) compared to the London average. The Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey Mental Health Trust are developing and transforming their ‘Core Community Service’ offer to reflect local needs. We collaborate with the Bridge Renewal Trust and the Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey NHS Mental Health Trust to engage a wide range of Haringey residents from Black and Minority Ethnic communities, identifying how residents from different Haringey communities’ access and experience community mental health services (including identifying any real and/or perceived access restrictions due to ethnicity, age, gender, etc.).
We conducted research questions, interviews, and workshops. We promoted and reached the target group using our networks to reach and recruit people with lived experience (current or past) of Severe Mental Illness or HighModerate Mental Illness to participate in workshops, focus groups, or one-toone feedback sessions, such as WhatsApp groups, social media, and existing group activities. We also organised mental health talks and coffee mornings, connecting with other grassroots groups and VCS organisations to help spread promotions.
We're continuing phase 2 of the Healthy Neighbourhoods Theme 1: Community Empowerment and Co-production project with Haringey Council and NHS NCL ICB, as well as the voluntary sector. We're implementing the Co-Production Toolkit and participating in the continued co-development and co-delivery of Healthy Neighbourhoods: Theme 1 by working with stakeholders to implement co-production and the toolkit at every level – VCS, resident, and statutory. We're also continuing VCS engagement/Community Protect by attending capacity building training sessions to strengthen the skills and expertise of our organisations.
We're continuing to support families this year through the Haringey Council support fund, reaching those most in need with food, energy, and water bills. Additionally, we're supporting the Council’s local assistance welfare scheme, allowing households experiencing financial hardship to apply for financial support.
We propose establishing a baby and toddler playgroup specifically catering to parents from the Somali community, some of whom may not be proficient in English. The playgroup will focus on children aged 1 to 4 years. We've established a weekly playgroup session at the Selby Centre with planned activities such as a sandpit, painting, playdough, toys, and more.
We've also organised a programme of monthly parent talk workshops to educate parents on the wellbeing of their children, covering topics such as introducing solids, autism awareness, and the importance of vaccination. As part of Dalmar’s activities, we run regular programmes and events with qualified staff focusing on themes of diet, healthy lifestyles, and exercise. We also run a support group and a WhatsApp group where women can share healthy recipes and provide peer support for improving their family’s diet and exercise routines.
5
For Dalmar’s Trusted Voices grant, we've provided additional support to the local Somali community through increased targeted health messaging to raise awareness about diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, the physical benefits of healthy eating and exercising, and how to look after their mental health and access health services. This will result in improved health and wellbeing and improved aspirations within the Somali community, empowering beneficiaries to engage with service providers.
We've organised a weekly walking group session in the park with a walking leader trained from the community, as well as a programme of weekly Health Talk sessions to improve health behaviour, diet, and learn how to manage comorbidities and chronic conditions, including heart health, diabetes, and mental health, funded by the NHS. This project has increased knowledge, understanding, and changes in behaviour relating to wellbeing and reduced certain stress and anxiety-related subject areas. The aim is for women to connect, get active, and learn to improve mental/physical health and wellbeing. Engaging in group sessions will also improve motivation, increase social contact, engage new learning, and reduce loneliness and isolation. This project provides a space to share experiences and for the group to support each other. Health and wellbeing are considered a whole-family affair. The objective of this project also focuses on preventative measures such as healthy eating, wellbeing, healthy development and function, exercise, heart health, and diabetes. Early interventions can improve outcomes across all generations in the family.
We've conducted this very successful project with funding from the Postcode Society Trust, supporting Somali families with children with learning disabilities, particularly Autism. Parents of children with communication difficulties have been able to undertake the Makaton language system training course online from home so they can help their children to communicate. Parents receive advice on understanding SEN conditions and working with schools, local authorities, and healthcare providers to ensure their needs are met. Families receive individual assessments to identify the most appropriate technology to support their children in everyday life. We've also organised appropriate activities such as arts & crafts or games for SEN children and their siblings, facilitated the development of peer support networks, and overseen a WhatsApp group.
We aim to expand our presence in more Ofsted registered settings, where we provide supplementary education, and enhance childcare income to ensure future sustainability. As part of this endeavour, we are participating in a scaleup program for social enterprise schools. These programs not only facilitate the growth of our educational initiatives but also pave the way for the development of additional social programs, such as sewing groups and reading groups, which hold potential for becoming successful social enterprises.

## **Reserves policy and going concern**
The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level which ensures that Dalmar’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
● an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity undertakes.
● the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
● the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimise risk.
## **Trustees and their responsibilities**
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases. Trustees have, and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.
## **Our volunteers**
Dalmar is very involved in the community and relies on voluntary help. Around 2 volunteers assisted with our on-going activities. We wish to thank our volunteers for their loyal support and contribution.
## **Future plan**
The charity has now been operational. The company set-up previously under the same name will be closed and now merged into the charity to continue its charitable operations. The charity is planning to recruit more trustees to strengthen governance. We will continue to apply for funding to sustain the organisation activities.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Dalmar Heritage and Family Development.**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's 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.
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 independent examiner's 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. 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:
(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 drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
