Our trustees collectively agreed and secured an architect for the design, once the design was finalized, contractors were brought in to start the first phase in the development of the community funds. Due to Covid-19 prices of material and cost of labour has increased which meant that the Trustees met to discuss fundraising activity to support the charity as well as ways to increase social media presence to build awareness of the project. During 2021, Ayaan JM Trust ran four separate appeals to raise funds to meet the charitable objectives. These appeals were as follows: Ramadan Appeal raised funds to distribute over 1,800 iftar meals, this included 1,430 meals for orphanages and 400 vulnerable individuals on the streets and villages of Moulvibazar, Bangladesh. We also distributed 145 large food packs to families living in poverty in deprived villages within Moulvibazar district. Our volunteers were also able rebuild the homes of two families living in deprived conditions. **4** During this appeal we worked closely with three orphanages to provide them with clothing and sports equipment. Hike with Sahar saw volunteers join for a 3 mile walk to raise money for our charity which promised to donate £2200 of fund’s raised to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. Snowden Appeal saw 19 volunteers across UK join forces to raise funds for our charitable cause through the Snowden walk challenge. The group of volunteers took the Pyg path which had 8miles in distance with a total climb of 723m. **5** Housing Appeal through the support of fundraisers we were able to raise funds specifically targeted at an appeal to rebuild the home of a family that had been severely impacted by poverty and covid-19. ## **Looking Ahead** Trustee’s will meet regularly to discuss strategies to build and raise awareness of Ayaan JM Trust, this will include options to build social media engagements across all platforms. **6** ## **FINANCIAL SUMMARY** This is Ayaan JM Trust’s first financial year, therefore there will be no comparison data to previous years.
