Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	This year was very hard due to COVID and Lockdown. Charity had a responsibility towards its members to keep providing them with support. we had to rely on online meeting programmes such as Zoom to run our activities. We were successful to provide the members with number of online activities such as women regular weekly meetings, Quran competition, online fun family quiz and a calligraphy course. In addition, we organised support and help between volunteers and members of the community who were in self isolation. We were able to help number of families by doing their shopping and providing them with hot meals. BMACA has collaborated with Sadaqa (a charity which helps the in-need population in Reading) in the “Give A Hand” campaign that provided meals for refugees who recently arrived in Reading. 66 meals were distributed to those in need in Reading. In addition, the extra funds were donated for meals for refugees who have recently arrived and are put in hotels in collaboration with Local Zakat (Red Kitchen). BMACA’s youth club have taken the initiative to help diferent charities that they are passionate about by raising money in diferent creative ways on Justgiving.com. BMACA also collaborated with fellow brothers and sisters in the Sudanese community in Reading with regards to the fooding as heavy rains have caused the River Nile to reach record- breaking levels. BMACA asked its community members to donate if they wish to. BMACA hosted an only ladies' "virtual cofee evening" where we discussed concerns and challenges about the pandemic and vaccinations and heard their opinions in an informal, safe and friendly space. Finally, BMACA organised a debate

between youth and adults (intergeneration debate) about hot topics that matter to both generations. This was managed and supervised by committee members and volunteers. Although it was done online, it was very successful.
