INTRODUCTION
Praise be to God Almighty for giving His blessings to ETAP coordinator, board management, trustees and volunteers, gifts in terms of time, opportunity, ability, mind and energy, to carry out volunteer activities of helping our community in Peterborough during 2021.
After being registered as a charity in February 2021, we feel more responsible for helping our community face many challenges in Peterborough.
The organization is in a significant step toward moving forward, even with a small financial report this year.
ETAP is a community organization formed with the base of volunteering service to help the East Timorese community and the other nationalities in Peterborough and the surrounding area.
I want to thank all of our board members, parents, supporters, partners, funders, and dedicated volunteers who work hard to put our mission into action every day. We continue to support the Timorese community and bring them together to integrate into wider communities in Peterborough.
I have many ideas and plans in the future to continue providing services to the local communities in Peterborough in 2022/2023.

Sharing story:
Maria Ribeiro: “When I finish work and came to home I felt isolate and loneliness. I am working 12 hours a day during four days a week in flowers factory, Hungtindon. Nobody has rest time to stay with friend for some chatting. All felt tired and go sleep. But now I feel happy. I enjoyed today the flowers arrangement session. Thank you for providing this opportunity. It’s amazing”.
Olga Antonia: “I just came from East Timor a month ago. My husband worked in the UK for 10 years. I don't speak English. I want to learn English so I can go work to help my family. When I heard there were ETAP women’s activities in PARCA I immediately joined. From here I began to get to know PARCA and registered myself to join the English class”.
From November to December , ETAP organised an online and face to face Creative English Programme to support migrants and refugees in learning English by supporting their functional and emotional needs. We provided this through group discussions to encourage friendships and understand the NHS services and everyday functions.

Certificate of Appreciation
Dear Celso/ETAP
I hope this email finds you well.
My role with the ONS is coming to an end (my last operational day is this Wednesday, 19th May) and so I wanted to say a big 'thank you' for all of the help and support you've given to help make census a success across Peterborough.
I don't have any completion statistics as there are still some elements that are ongoing (the Census Coverage Survey is taking place at the moment, and this will be followed by the noncompliance operation throughout June). However, I have been assured that the completion rates have exceeded expectations and it has been one of the most successful censuses ever! The ONS have an 'official' thank you too which I've attached - it gives you an opportunity to stay connected by opting into future communications which will mean you receive updates on outputs etc as they are released. I've also attached the 'Census Champion' certificate which is just a small token of appreciation for all of the fantastic support that has been received. The census helpline will remain open throughout June should anyone need information, or for those who are yet to take part who may have received a non-compliance letter. The number is 0800 141 2021.
It's been great to work with you, and thanks again!
Best wishes
Nicky
