QOYS DARYEEL (FAMILY CARE) Trustees' report For the year ended 31 March 2023
The Trustees, have pleasure in presenting their report and accounts for the charitable organisation for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Qoys Daryeel (QD) (Family Care) Objects are:
-
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit among Somali refugees and asylum seekers in West London who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position, by providing:
-
a. Education and training in sexual and mental health awareness.
-
b. Courses in parenting skills to increase family cohesion.
-
c. Physical exercise sessions for elderly women.
-
d. Surveys of Somalis’ experience of health and other public services.
-
To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Somali refugees in West London in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society by providing education and training in the English language during which the organisation has grown to support a large number of users from diverse communities and has worked in partnership with many organisations that have helped make our work possible.
Qoys Daryeel (Family Care), a women-led UK-registered charitable organization, aims to promote social inclusion for the public benefit. The organization was established nearly 20 years ago with the aim of improving the livelihoods of people facing social and economic disadvantages. By providing those in need of community support the opportunities that will empower them, Qoys Daryeel has successfully provided training, advocacy support, befriending services, domestic violence and self-care awareness.
Activities in 2022-23
During the year, we carried out the services above with the help of three volunteers, Khadra Mohamud and Ifrah Ali, Amran Mohamed Ahmed. Khadra Mohamud provided an online service as an experienced parent. However, we did receive funding for a new programme, Stepping Stones, to help young people not to be attracted by crime and joining gangs.
Stepping Stones – Empowering Parents to Support their Teenage Children
This financial year saw the launch of a 6-month pilot project entitled ‘Stepping Stones’, funded by the Metropolitan Police as part of the ‘Hayes Together Stays Together’ programme.Its aim was to reduce th number of pre-adolescent children of refugees and migrants from being attracted to crime and joining gangs. It was based on Qoys Daryeel’s research and knowledge of the refugee community in Hillingdon and in Hayes Town in particular, which showed that children of around the age of 11 are already vulnerable to being exposed to the “glamour” of crime and gang-culture and its association with feeling part of a community.
Our session aimed to educate the target group into not falling into the trap of a criminal career, and also parents and other interested adults.
A meeting on April 14[th] 2021 with members of the community and of the organization established the main objectives of the project:
-
A reduction in numbers being attracted to crime. A questionnaire given to parents and children provided feedback regarding how helpful they found the activities and a statement from the police was also evaluated as a reference point for how to successfully manage our primary aims.
-
Creating inspiration and motivation for young people to discover their true skills and the contribution they could make to the Hayes community. The questionnaire was presented in a range of styles such as choosing a happy/sad face or ticking a box and participants were asked, from a scale of 1-10 what they enjoyed the most

Trustees' report For the year ended 31 March 2023
& what changes they noticed about themselves following the successful completion of the project. The answers were carefully evaluated to help us assess how effective the project was with regards to participant satisfaction.
- Raising the levels of self-esteem and low expectations within the target group. For the young participants participants we asked questions such as: Do you feel you have grown in self-confidence? If so, in what ways? For the parents we asked: Do you feel your child has grown in self-confidence? Throughout the project Hassan ran youth football clubs which also contributed greatly to our aim of raising self-esteem as the use of physical exercise encouraged teamwork and interpersonal relationships amongst the younger participants.
Schedule of project
The schedule of the 6-month (April to November) project included:
• Weekly (Wednesday) face-to-face 2-hour meetings for parents in Botwell Library, Hayes, attended by a average of 30 (25 women, 5 men)aged between 18-60. The themes included:
Effective Communication, Safeguarding for Your Child, Raising their Self-esteem, Mental Health Support, Meetin Other Parents in local community delivered by Hassan Ossable using PowerPoint presentations and Q&A about what they want and think.
• Weekly Saturday football sessions for boys, followed by talks by Hassan on whatever subject they wanted to talk about, difficulties, need for support/advice etc (average of 20 aged 11-18).
• Monthly online sessions for parents who could not attend the weekly Wednesday sessions on the same themes (average of 10 male & female).
Outcomes (Results of questionnaires etc.)
At the end of the 12 weeks the parents in these classes have reported feeling more confident in dealing with any issues they or their children were experiencing.
What have we learned?
Both the parents and young people we supported are keen to keep going with such classes and would like to do them face to face. Through our weekly youth football and workshops, we ensured the teenagers in the programme learn these important life skills so when they end their classes with us, they will have been empowered to maintain self-esteem and problem-solving skills. Deciding to offer services such as this project to establish community support has helped us to learn from one another and ensure our children receive the support they need to flourish and thrive.
Management of project
The Chair of Trustees, Marso Abdi, Fadumo Mohamed and Sado Saeed, supervised the project, with the help of two employees Mecyline Ndeti as project manager, and Hassan Ossable as trainer and facilitator who also generously volunteered for the football sessions. Hassan has had wide experience of working with young people as a mentor and a lead youth worker for Hillingdon Council for years, and as a learning mentor at Lampton School. He has also had with other organisations including as HAYA Community Centre, the Council of Somali Organisations and Help Somalia Foundation. Hassan was supported by Volunteers, Khadra Mohamud and Ifrah Ali, Amran Mohamed Ahmed, Abdirahman Adan. Khadra and Amran were speakers at the final event. Ifrah was responsible for catering.
