Trustees' Annual Report
## **For the year ended 30th November 2025 Charity name: NGAMABA COMMUNITY PATH Charity registration number: 1205709**
## **Chair's Message**
During the past year, Ngamaba Community Path has continued to support refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and vulnerable families in Salford and Greater Manchester.
Despite limited resources, our charity has remained committed to improving wellbeing,
reducing isolation, and strengthening community integration.
We are proud of the progress made through health and wellbeing workshops, mentoring,
social activities, and practical support delivered with the help of dedicated volunteers and partners. These activities have helped many individuals and families feel more connected, confident, and supported.
On behalf of the trustees, I would like to thank our volunteers, supporters, partners, and funders for their continued encouragement and trust. We remain committed to developing our services and reaching more people in need in the coming year.
