## Introduction 

This Trustee Annual Report outlines the activities, achievements, and financial performance of Nzanobi Charity for the year ending 31 March 2025.

## Objectives and Activities 

## Charitable Objectives 

Nzanobi Charity exists to improve the lives of individuals within the African and AfroCaribbean communities by addressing issues of social inclusion, education, health, and community empowerment. 

## Activities Undertaken 

In 2024/2025, we focused on delivering impactful programs and events that aligned with our mission. The key activities included: 

## 1. **Menopause Awareness Program:** 

We organised a Menopause Awareness event to shed light on the specific menopause plights faced by African and Afro-Caribbean women. The event provided education, resources, and a supportive platform for dialogue. 

## 2. **AI Prompt Engineering for Entrepreneurs and Professionals:** 

We conducted an AI-focused event to educate and empower attendees with the skills for the future of work, providing insights into how artificial intelligence can empower entrepreneurs, parents, and professionals in their daily activities and work lives. 

## 3. **Black History Month Awareness Event:** 

In partnership with the Microsoft Experience Centre, we hosted a Black History Month event to celebrate and raise awareness of the contributions of African and Afro-Caribbean individuals to society.

## Achievements and Performance 

## **The difference we make** 

The wider impact of advice – what we achieve as a result of solving problems and providing support – is just as important. If left unsolved, problems don’t just affect the individual – they affect our community. Solving them creates considerable value to society. By continuing to adapt, collaborate, and focus on those most in need, we can look forward to even more impactful work in the future. 

## **Our value to society** 

Maximising the income through skills acquisition for those we help prevents more costly intervention. This helps reduce financial difficulty, promotes inclusion and benefits the economy. This is only one fraction of our true value. 

## Impact Highlights 

- **Menopause Awareness Event:** Reached 30 participants, creating a safe space for women to share their experiences and learn from experts. 

- **AI Prompt Engineering Event:** Educated 50+ attendees on practical applications of AI, fostering innovation and skill development. 

- **Black History Month Event:** Engaged participants in celebrating cultural heritage and fostering unity within the African and Afro-Caribbean community. 

## Collaboration and Partnerships 

A special thank-you goes to the **Microsoft Experience Centre** and its staff for their tireless efforts working to support us at our events. Their generosity and **collaboration** were instrumental in the success of these initiatives. We are ever grateful.
