Structure, Governance and Management

The Sudanese Trustee Association is managed by a board of trustees who are responsible for the overall direction, governance, and financial oversight of the charity. Trustees meet regularly to plan activities and review progress.

The charity operates as a community-based voluntary organisation serving members of the Sudanese community.

Our objectives are to:

• Celebrate and preserve Sudanese culture and traditions.

• Foster community spirit, social inclusion, and wellbeing.

• Provide a welcoming environment for all community members to connect, share experiences, and support one another.

Activities and Achievements

During the financial year, the Association successfully delivered several community-focused events and gatherings, including:

• Ramadan Breakfasts: Organised four community iftar (breaking of fast) events to encourage togetherness and reflection during Ramadan.

• Condolence Gatherings: Provided shared spaces for grief and condolences, allowing members to support each other in difficult times.

During the year, the Association raised a total of £5,600 through community contributions and fundraising activities.

Expenditure amounted to £4,800 , which was primarily used for:
