MAMOU AID FOUNDATION UK (CHARITY NO: 1204191 ENGLAND AND WALES) TRUSTEES' REPORT
The Trustees are pleased to present the Annual Report of Mamou Aid Foundation UK for the financial year ending 31 March 2025. This report outlines our activities, achievements, challenges, and future plans as we continue our mission to develop the capacity and skills of socially and economically disadvantaged refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.
Objectives and Activities
Our primary objective is to empower refugees and asylum seekers through skills development, education, and community engagement. In 2022-2025, we focused on the following key areas:
-
1 Skills Development Workshops : We held 9 skills training workshops this year, covering a range of topics including language proficiency, vocational training, and employability skills. Over 45 individuals participated in these workshops, with 90% reporting increased confidence in their abilities.
-
2 Community Integration Programs : Our community integration projects aimed to foster a sense of belonging. We organized cultural events, community meals, and English language conversation clubs, which attracted over 70 participants and helped bridge gaps between the refugee community and local residents.
-
3 Partnerships and Collaborations : We established partnerships with local charities, businesses and educational institutions to facilitate job placements and internships. These collaborations provided valuable opportunities for our beneficiaries,
-
Achievements
-
1 Increased Participation : Our outreach efforts led to a 30% increase in participation in our programs compared to the previous year. We successfully engaged with diverse communities.
-
2 Employability Success : Of the individuals who participated in our employability workshops, 60% reported securing job interviews, with 40% successfully finding employment within six months of completion.
-
3 Community Feedback : A recent survey indicated that 80% of participants found our programs beneficial, citing improvement in their job readiness and social connections.
Financial Overview
Donations have droped due to the challenging economic situation our donations find themselves in.
Governance and Management
The charity is governed by a board of four Trustees, who meet quarterly. We ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and maintain transparency in our operations. This year, we conducted a strategic review to align our goals with the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that we remain responsive and effective in our support. Challenges
The ongoing impact of economic fluctuations has posed challenges in securing funding and resources. Additionally, the increased complexity of immigration policies has affected the stability of many of our beneficiaries. We are actively seeking to diversify our funding sources and build stronger community partnerships to mitigate these challenges. Future Plans
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our offerings by:
-
1 Launching an online training platform to reach a wider audience, especially those unable to attend in-person workshops.
-
2 Strengthening our mental health support services by collaborating with professional organizations to better meet the complex needs of our community.
-
3 Enhancing awareness campaigns to educate the public about the contributions of refugees and asylum seekers, fostering greater community support.
Acknowledgments
We would like to extend our gratitude to our volunteers, staff, and donors, whose unwavering support makes our work possible. Special thanks to our community partners the African Refugee Community, La Fraternite Guineenne and the Refugee Council who have joined us in our mission to empower refugees and asylum seekers.
Conclusion
In a year marked by challenges and growth, Empowerment for All Foundation remains committed to uplifting the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Together, we are building a brighter future for disadvantaged communities, fostering integration, resilience, and empowerment.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under Charity law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the profit or loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small Company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
