General Description of the Charity’s activities:

Workshops in Schools and Community Centres

Love where you live, Keep Me Active and Healthy In January, we launched a project funded by the community fund under their ‘Love where you live’ grant. We launched a 5 week project where we focused on exercise and other physical activities to encourage our local people to look after their physical selves. Exercise is important because it enhances physical fitness, improves mental well-being, and increases energy levels.

Healthy eating nutrition In March, we held a 4-week healthy eating programme. The goal of the project was to raise awareness about healthy eating habits, provide practical tips for balanced diets, and encourage individuals to make informed food choices. Healthy eating is important because it provides the essential nutrients and energy our bodies need to function properly, maintain health, and prevent chronic diseases. This was also part of ‘Love where you Live’.

We wear heritage This project was not funded but was given to us, freely, under Brent. The goal of this project is to raise awareness about the cultural significance of liputa (traditional Congo fabric), to promote its continued use and appreciation, and to highlight its importance in the Congolese/ African identity, both historically and in contemporary culture. We made our own clothing using liputa being inclusive of all members of our community, not narrowing it to those who identity with Congolese culture as we allowed those of a range of backgrounds to also share their heritage storiess.

Risk Management

The trustees actively review the risk, which the charity faces on a regular basis. The review of the controls of the financial systems will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

The trustees also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that the Trustees have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Review and Results

The Trustees report an operational surplus of £214 on operations for the year under review.

Balance Sheet

Details of the major items on the balance sheet can be found in the notes to the accounts.
