At KANGA, we’re committed to supporting children, young people, and refugees through a wide range of educational and cultural activities. Our weekly supplementary school is at the heart of what we do, where we teach Kurdish mother tongue language lessons to children and young adults up to the age of 25. These lessons not only help preserve the Kurdish language but also give young people a deeper connection to their heritage and identity.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Alongside language classes, we run GCSE booster sessions in English and Maths to support students in their mainstream education. We also offer sports activities that promote physical health, teamwork, and confidence, all within a safe, welcoming environment. Cultural events are another important part of our work. We organise community celebrations like Newroz, traditional Kurdish clothing days, and Mother Tongue Language Day. These events bring people together and help our young people stay connected to their roots in a fun and meaningful way.

In addition, we run English classes for refugees to help them settle into life in the UK. These sessions give people the language skills they need to find work, access services, and feel more confident navigating everyday life in a new country.

The trustees of KANGA confirm that they have had full regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning and delivering all of our activities. Everything we do is aimed at improving the lives of the people we serve, helping them grow, achieve, and feel part of a strong, supportive community

Section D Achievements and performance

This past year has been a meaningful and productive one for KANGA, Summary of the main with continued growth in our educational, cultural, and community- achievements of the charity focused work. Our weekly supplementary school has remained a core during the year part of our activities, providing Kurdish language lessons alongside GCSE booster sessions in English and Maths. These sessions have helped build our students’ confidence in school, improved their academic progress, and allowed them to engage more deeply with both their education and cultural identity. A major highlight of the year was KANGA’s annual Mother Tongue Language Conference. This event welcomed Kurdish scholars, educators, and language advocates from across the globe. It served as a valuable platform for knowledge sharing and cultural exchange, while also reinforcing the importance of preserving and promoting the Kurdish language. The conference inspired both our students and wider community to take pride in their linguistic heritage. Our cultural activities have continued to strengthen community ties and identity. Events such as Newroz celebrations, Mother Tongue Language Day, and Traditional Kurdish Dress Day have been well attended and warmly received. These activities offer our young people a chance to celebrate their background and learn more about their history and traditions in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We have also seen real progress in our English language courses for refugees. These classes have helped many participants gain essential communication skills, build confidence, and begin integrating more successfully into life in the United Kingdom. Some have gone on to pursue education or employment opportunities, and many have expressed a greater sense of belonging as a result of their involvement with KANGA. In addition, we have invested in the training and development of our volunteer teachers and staff. This ensures that our team is well prepared to support our students and helps create a more knowledgeable and skilled community. Overall, this year has been one of positive impact, deeper community connections, and meaningful progress. We are proud of what has been achieved and look forward to building on this success in the coming year.

Independent assurance report on the unaudited accounts of Kurdish Association For New Generations/Abroad Ltd

To the trustees of Kurdish Association For New Generations/Abroad Ltd

We have performed certain procedures in respect of the Charity’s unaudited accounts for the year ended 24 November 2023 (which comprise the income and expene Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes), made enquiries of the Charity’s trustees and assessed accounting policies adopted by the trustees, in order to gather sufficient evidence for our conclusion in this report.

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 16 June 2025. It has been released to the trustees on the basis that this report shall not be copied, referred to or disclosed, in whole (save for the trustees’ own internal purposes or as may be required by law or by a competent regulator) or in part, without our prior written consent. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities

You have confirmed that you have met your duty as set out in the trustees’ statement. You consider that the Charity is exempt from the statutory requirement for an audit for the period. Our responsibility is to form and express an independent conclusion, based on the work carried out, to you on the accounts.

Scope

We conducted our engagement in accordance with basic priciples of audit & review of financial information. Our work was based primarily upon enquiry, analytical procedures and assessing accounting policies in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities. If we considered it to be necessary, we also performed limited examination of evidence relevant to certain balances and disclosures in the accounts where we became aware of matters that might indicate a risk of material misstatement in the accounts.

The terms of our engagement exclude any requirement to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the risks of material misstatement, a consideration of fraud, laws, regulations and internal controls, and we have not done so. We are not required to, and we do not, express an audit opinion on these accounts.

Conclusion

Based on our work, nothing has come to our attention to refute the trustees’ confirmation that in accordance with the Charities act 1993 the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 24 November 2023 and of its Surplus for the period then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Charities
