We primarily support those living in the UK to improve their higher educational and cognitive skills. There are many skills which students will need to gain when going through the UK higher education system which includes how to research, gather data, manipulate data, using various software like SPSS, how undertake and complete essay, coursework, reports and presentations which includes VIVA preparations. TUSU has a charitable intention which is to help students to enhance their educational backgrounds in line with the UK educational needs for free. For this reason, in our events, workshops and seminars concentrate on activities that support life-long learning.To advance the education of students in the UK, and in particular (but not exclusively) those of Turkish origin, through the provision of activities, workshops, seminars and conferences which support their learning and help them adapt to the UK educational system and academic life. The participants can easily be aware of our events through social media, emails and other group networking platforms. As stated above, as TUSU we plan and initiate our own events, the speakers are usually chosen based on our participants wants and needs. There many advantages of TUSU events. All the participants, as both individuals or in a group, have access to knowledge and networking facilities. This will enhance student's educational skills and deepen their understanding. Therefore, it has a positive impact on students' overall performance and self-reliance. Students improve their personal knowledge through human rights awareness and personal evolution. TUSU is also in contact with other student organisations, students can also participate in the events of other organisations. TUSU also support students applying to postgraduate studies, including Master's and PhO programme. All TUSU events are held.in English. Students are encouraged to ask questions and exchange opinions which improves the participants ability to fit in with the English education system. Students also benefit from group mentoring as well as one-to-one support and development. The events are planned in an inclusive way, via meetings at the beginning of each academic year through brainstorming amongst all members. TUSU will then calculate budget for each planned event and based on the order of events, all required materials will then be obtained. Due to close relations with various universities based across London and throughout the UK, our events are usually taking place in university lecture theatres. TUSU is beneficial to all, predominantly to those students which find it difficult to adapt to the UK educational system or the academic life. Our main priority is to have a platform where we can provide enough educational support to all students via integration and coalition amongst all background and belief. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** A review of the charity's financial position at the year end 31 March 2023 The principal funding sources of the charity and how it supports the charity's key objectives are sponsorships from local businesses.
