4. Activities during the period
This section describes the activities delivered by Rewire 360 during the period to further its charitable objectives .
Following the charity’s registration, the initial months of the period focused on organisational set-up, funding confirmation, and programme development, with delivery of the first EASY Project class commencing in December 2024.
During the period, Rewire 360 delivered its Big Lottery Community Awards For All – EASY Project (Class 1) from December 2024 to March 2025, supporting Black and Minority Ethnic women who were refugees or asylum seekers living in Accrington and the surrounding area.
The EASY Project was designed as a structured learning and progression programme aimed at improving confidence, English language, and numeracy skills, while reducing social isolation and increasing independence. The project model combines structured learning, practical application, and ongoing support.
The programme is intended to deliver a series of 12-week learning courses, each comprising two three-hour sessions per week, plus a three-hour induction session, supported by independent learning activities. This is followed by ongoing conversation and reading groups, with additional development opportunities for participants who wish to progress further. This reporting period covered delivery of the first class of the project.
The first class supported 14 women, many of whom faced multiple and intersecting barriers including social isolation, limited English language skills, low confidence, unfamiliarity with local services, and limited experience of independent travel.
Activities delivered included:
-
Structured learning sessions designed to build confidence, skills, and independence
-
Individual Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) sessions for each participant to support progression
-
A community support clinic offering drop-in assistance
Weekly IAG sessions supported participants with CV writing, job applications, interview preparation, benefits issues, and completing forms relating to health, education, and other services.
As part of the learning approach, the programme included a supported visit to Manchester Christmas Markets, with all participants travelling by train, and a confidence-building visit to a local park. These activities were deliberately included to help participants practise skills learned during sessions, reduce anxiety, and build confidence in unfamiliar environments.
5. Achievements and performance
This section summarises the outcomes and achievements arising from the charity’s activities during the period.
All 14 women completed the course and successfully passed assessments designed to measure learning, confidence, and progression, demonstrating strong engagement throughout the programme.
The visits outside the immediate local area were particularly impactful. For many participants, this was their first experience of using public transport independently and navigating a train station. Developing these skills increased confidence in travelling to appointments, training opportunities, and potential employment.
Participants demonstrated improved confidence and practical skills in English and numeracy, particularly in relation to everyday tasks such as home budgeting, checking prices online, understanding weights and measures, identifying value for money, completing forms, and navigating community life and transport. Participants also reported improvements in confidence, mood, and overall wellbeing.
Rewire 360 also delivered a community support clinic during the first quarter of activity, providing practical assistance to beneficiaries from the local community.
Thirty-two beneficiaries accessed the clinic on a drop-in basis. Support included benefits advice, interview preparation, CV writing, guidance on volunteering and progression routes, and signposting relating to naturalisation and settlement processes.
Following completion of the first class:
-
Five participants secured employment
-
Nine participants expressed a clear intention to progress to higher-level courses or further training
The trustees consider these outcomes to be highly positive, particularly given this was the charity’s first year of delivery. The results demonstrate meaningful progress towards increased independence, confidence, and economic participation among beneficiaries.
6. Financial review
During the period, the charity received income primarily from grant funding and servicerelated income, with total gross income of £53,304.
Expenditure was focused on delivering charitable activities and meeting essential operating costs.
Reserves policy
The trustees recognise the importance of maintaining appropriate reserves. The Trustees deem the unrestricted reserves to be sufficient to cover the core costs of the charity for the next year.
The trustees believe the charity remains a going concern.
7. Volunteers
There were no volunteers involved during the charity’s first year. All activities were delivered directly by the organisation.
8. Plans for future periods
In the next financial year, the trustees plan to continue delivering and developing programmes supporting, in particular, BME, refugee, and asylum-seeking women. The charity will build on the success of the EASY Project, seek additional funding to expand services, and strengthen organisational capacity and governance arrangements.
Approval
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf.
