**Funders:** WCVA/ Third Sector Resilience Fund 3/ Social Investment Cymru 

**Project:** Third Sector Resilience Fund 3 **Period:** 20/06/2022 **Amount:** £9,931.00 **Outcomes** 

We employed a full time bid writer who looked for different ways of generating income for both short term and long-term projects and organisational financial stability.  These include submitting bids to Welsh based funders, UK wide and individual givers. Work with universities to get students on placement to fundraise via online (just giving); work with local businesses including supermarkets to support our work especially setting up an ethnic food bank. The bid writer come up with ideas on fundraising to keep the charity afloat financially. This gave our volunteers time to continue helping families than looking for funding. Our organisation has the potential to grow reaching the most vulnerable person who is missed by bigger charities. 

**II. Funders:** Race Council Cymru **Project: Windrush Day 2022 Period: 01/06/2022 to 30 June 2022 Amount:** £ 4,180.00 

## **Outcomes** 

The Windrush celebration was successfully delivered on three different aspects and promoted accordingly. The understanding of the Windrush generation was compared to today’s life of different migrants and the challenges faced in their daily lives. The project was delivered through speakers  sessions,  quizzes  to  evaluate  the  understanding  of  the audience, music, and group exchange of ideas for a good backup of values and measurement. 

A  total  of  75  people  attended  the  events  during  the  three  days successively seventeen people on the first day, thirty-six- and twenty-two on the last day as the weather was not good with rain all day. However, Windrush’s books, copies of the speech, Powerpoint were given to those who attended the event.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Funders:** The National Lottery Community Fund **Project: My Refuge! Period: 17/12/2022 Amount: £ 9,985.00 Outcomes:** This project was well a result of women who have gone through bad experiences of domestic violence and the project itself was run by themselves. All participants was from Port Tennant, Mayhill, Town hill and their surrounding areas. All of them came together to discus this after they learnt and came across a strong and powerful testimony of a courageous and local woman who refused to abide by her cultural customs and expose whatever was going on at her place. Seven group discussions were organised and were enough to think and design this project. Ideas, timing for the project and outputs, outcomes were fully discussed by victims of domestic violence in a way that can make them discuss this serious issue in a safe place. More importantly, this project is bottom up thought and women involved have been very active in making the plan and details on how this can be successful. **V. Funders: Local Giving Community Matters Fund Project: Holiday Hunger Period: August 2022 to December 2022 Amount: £2,500.00 Outcomes:** The project enabled our people to eat their preferred and healthy foods while also making provisions for rare natural products that were difficult to store at home due to a lack of funds. It  also  helped  their  parents  reduce  stress  during  the  project’s delivery because help was available and well-known where they could get it. The project has allowed volunteers to expand their network with new French asylum seekers who arrived in Swansea during the pandemic but were not registered with the project. This has resulted in stronger relationships as well as happiness between volunteers and beneficiaries.

They were aware of other services they could access as first point of contact instead of attending the HNS, for example, calling the NHS Wales on the phone for advice, Samaritans. We were able to support a young man named who was detained by the  home  Office  and  later  release  because  of  his  incomplete Asylum process. **VII.

Some of the beneficiaries that we served were recently laid off their jobs due to the negative impact of the pandemic on their employers. The  project  also  created  a  sense  of  oneness  and  community cohesion because people from different ethnic backgrounds were brought together by the fear of COVID19 and seeing someone (a volunteer) who  is  not  from their own  ethnic  background  being friendly, calling to check on them.

## **XII.** 

**Funders: Neath Port Talbot Council for Volunteer Service Comic Relief** 

**Period: August 2022 – 2023 Amount: £5,000.00** 

## **Outcomes:** 

This project is a success so far and young people are enjoying it. In fact, many young people have had less interest in photographing, recording, shooting, and editing. 

They have realised that there is still a world out there out of their gadgets that are making them addicted. 

Time spent out of their gadgets has made them learn new skills. At the beginning some felt that communication skills workshops were a bit boring. But when it came to practicing, they realised that it was more interesting and that they have learn different techniques of oratory. 

They feel that communication skills have helped them to be able to debate and organise their arguments to convince others. 

Participants  who  were  shy  have  been  able  to  discuss  openly  with confidence. 

Young people have gained confidence and have enhanced their selfesteem. 

Young people have gained writing skills, which is often very hard to come by The project has been well received for three main reasons: 

-parents feel that their children are spending time with their peers while gaining skills that are 

important for their studies and also for their life on different aspects. -Parents think that keeping children busy learning new skills is a way to keep them away from streets where they could be a target of crime or committing crime themselves. 

-Young people themselves are happy because they are building a strong but positive relationship in the community hat can benefit for the entire community in the future.

## **ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES** 

## **Basis of Preparation and Assessment of Going Concern** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

## **Income** 

Income is recognized when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Government and other grants in relation to tangible fixed asset are credited to profit and loss account over the useful lives of the related assets, whereas those in relation to expenditure are credited when the expenditure is charged to profit and loss. 

Donations are recognized when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognized until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity, and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Legacy gifts are recognized on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognized stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. 



## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognized as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Functional and Presentational currency** 

The functional and presentational currency is £ sterling. 

The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility for 

1. Ensuring the company keeps accounting records 

2. Preparing accounts which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year, and of its profit or loss for the financial year. 

3. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charities
