ORGANISATION JOURNEY, STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Romanian and Eastern European Hub was set up as a project by CB Plus in March 2020 to address the unmet support needs of Romanians and other Eastern European groups living in the London Boroughs of Harrow, Barnet and Brent.

CB Plus recognised the importance of having community members leading the initiative. To achieve this, CB Plus created two roles for people from the Eastern European community, with lived experience of being first generation immigrants, and with in-depth professional experience and vocational understanding of the community’s needs and challenges.

ORGANISATION JOURNEY, STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (CONTD)

These challenges included language, cultural and digital barriers, and residents living with extreme poverty, low quality housing, poor physical and mental health and domestic abuse. Despite these challenges, the staff knew that the community were resilient, positive and insightful, and with support, could make life changes.

The collaboration between CB Plus and the staff swiftly produced excellent results and

outcomes. CB Plus was able to provide financial management and governance guidance and training, enabling the staff to expand their skills, and through their cultural knowledge, the staff quickly established family support services with the community. Recognising these achievements, CB Plus proposed that the Ro-EE Hub should become an independent charity.

At the beginning of 2022, The Romanian and Eastern European Hub has been taken forward as an unincorporated charitable association by the three members of staff that have managed the Hub under CB Plus. The unincorporated constitution was adopted in January 2022 by its 3 co- founders, Adina Maglan, Florica Cecilia Petre and Maria Nadia Mihai and a board of independent trustees, have soon afterwards joined the organisation. The organisation is equity-led with a majority of directors and board members being from an Eastern European background.

Our governance objective to become a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation has materialised in 2023. We submitted our registration application to the Charity Commission in February 2023. The incorporated constitution was adopted by the board of trustees in May 2023 and the organisation has been registered as a CIO in 20th June 2023.

How the charity is constituted

The Romanian and Eastern European Hub (Ro-EE Hub) is a registered charitable organisation (CIO) number 1203643. The governing document of the charity is its Constitution dated 26.05.2023.

The Romanian and Eastern European Hub Constitution defines the objects and powers of the charity, and other procedures and control measures. All activities are in accordance with Charity Act 2011.

Harrow Homes for Ukraine

Ro-EE Hub has been commissioned by Harrow Council for a second year running as the first point of contact for all Ukrainian refugees arriving in the borough.

We set to offer a welcome service to the Ukrainian refugees arriving in Harrow to enable them to access GP, banking, benefits, Biometric Residence Permits, schools, ESOL, employment and housing support, based on individual needs assessments.

We delivered this by arranging initial welfare assessements with guests, visiting them in the sponsor property and providing welcome payment prepaid cards issued by Harrow Council. The home visits were followed up with signposting and referrals to relevant services based on each guests’ needs.

Barnet Innovation Fund

Through this project we:

Trust for London- Connected Communities

This is a two-year project from September 2022- August 2024 to support people in the Romanian and Roma Romanian communities who experience digital, language, cultural and socio-economic barriers with the understanding of the British welfare system through offering practical support on accessing benefits they are eligible for, training on accessing online accounts and keeping up with tasks, as well as referrals for EU Settlement Scheme late applications to accredited organisations. Accomplishments:

From 20 June 2023 to 31 March 2024, we have supported as part of this project, 98 adults via 1200 interactions. The assistance provided was with filling in forms, translating, providing digital up-skilling advice, submitting digital benefit applications, and teaching those who are digitally excluded to manage their benefit online accounts while also keeping up with appointments. We have also helped with setting up email accounts and instructing people on how to check and prove their immigration status, employment eligibility, and eligibility to rent a property in UK. 158 dependent children were directly and indirectly supported throughout this period.

GLA- Building Stronger Communities

As part of this project we have supported, from 20 June 2023 to 31 March 2024, 94 service users with access to services.

We take great pride in the positive impact our work had on the lives of the service users we supported as part of this project, The fact that we have surpassed service user targets with over 51% is testament

to the hard work and commitment our team has put into supporting the most vulnerable in our community.

One particular example is that of a Romanian woman battling cancer whom we have supported with access to benefits which in turn has relieved some of her financial pressures and allowed her to focus on her recovery. As part of this project, we have also supported survivors of domestic abuse achieve financial independence through access to welfare benefits, employment, education and food vouchers which in turns positively impacted their lives and the lives of their dependents.

MOPAC/ VAWG London Community Fund

As part of this project, we have:

Our support enabled survivors of domestic abuse to overcome some of the difficulties

they experienced when leaving an abusive relationship, supporting them and their children in their journey to leading abuse free lives.

We have also delivered weekly nursery rhyme sessions for women in the Romanian

community and their children 0-3 years of age over 4 months. These sessions have helped alleviate isolation, build a support network and raise awareness of support available in the community.

Lastly, we have run a weekly domestic abuse training for 12 weeks. The Own My Life training was delivered in Romanian and was attended by 5 women survivors of domestic abuse survivors from the community, who would not have otherwise been able to access this due to the language barrier. This has given women space to share their experiences one of them reporting the experience was liberating.

From 20 June 2023 to 31 March 2024, across all projects, our direct frontline work has supported 519 new direct beneficiaries with access to services, via 4192 interactions, work that enabled service users to gain a recorded income gain of £137,910 (income gain generated via referrals and signposting not included).

Strategic Objective: Preventing people from becoming socially excluded, particularly those from Eastern European communities.

Ukraine Remembrance Day Event in Brent- February 2024

Barnet Winter Festival

This funding has enabled us to deliver a celebratory event for the large Romanian community in The London Borough of Barnet to mark Romania’s National Day which is one of the most important celebrations for all Romanians across

the world.

A.T., a single mum who attended our event said: ‘I want to thank the organisers for the efforts, support,

care and kindness they’ve shown me and my little boy, with whom I attended the event on December 1, an important day for all of us Romanians everywhere, event where we both felt like home. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact that we met several Romanians in one place and my son enjoyed playing with other children and engaged in lovely activities prepared for them.’

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position and available funds

The Charity incurred a surplus of £5,114 in the year ended 31st March 2024 (2023: surplus of £19,530), increasing total funds at the year-end to £24,654 (2023: £19,540).

Of the total funds, £7,300 related to unrestricted funds/free reserves (2023: £10) and a deficit of £2,185 to restricted funds (2023: £19,530).

Going concern

Based on the funding commitments in place both at the year-end and on the date of approval of this report, as well as the current free reserves level, the Trustees are satisfied that the Charity will be able to continue its objectives for the next financial year. Whilst the ongoing cost of living crisis has meant the Charity has incurred additional costs, the ongoing external crisis has had no significant impact on this assessment.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

(REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1203643)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20 JUNE 2023- 31 MARCH 2024

1. Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Romanian Eastern European Hub meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and Liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. After due consideration, it was concluded that no restatement of the comparatives was required.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this conclusion, the trustees have taken into account any material uncertainties that may affect the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Change in Charity’s Legal Form

On 20th June 2023, Romanian Eastern European Hub transitioned from an unincorporated entity to a , Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The name of the organisation remained unchanged.

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

Funds Structure

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the funder.

Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty or receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants and Donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Donations represent voluntary amounts received during the year.

Expenditure Recognition Cont’d

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

(REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1203643)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20 JUNE 2023- 31 MARCH 2024

Expenditure Recognition Cont’d

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.

Cash Flow Statement

The Charity has taken advantage of FRS 102 (Section 1A) which exempts small charities from preparing Cash Flow Statements.

Trade Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Trade Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Fixed Assets

The charity does not own any fixed assets.
