Trustee Report at the Annual General Meeting on 21[st] October 2020

Ladies and Gentlemen members of the IAC attending the Annual General Meeting .

We welcome you here and thank you for attending.

It gives me great pleasure to present to you this Trustee report underlining all the activities and aims that we were able to accomplish during this current term endeavouring to fulfil the main objectives of our charity, including :-

• Providing help and support to the needy and the ill.

• Raising the level of cultural awareness by supporting various cultural activities in the United Kingdom.

• This, in addition to providing management and finance for Dr. Ismat AlSaid School which represent the core of the activities of the charity.

The Board of Trustees have held 5 meetings in the current term to discuss matters related to the functioning of the charity, such as the IAC school and future projects aimed at achieving the objectives of the IAC , in addition to evaluating proposals and requests for assistance that reach the board of the trustees from varied institutions and individuals ,in the form of projects that converge with the IAC’s objectives .However , the trustees have consented to focus their attention on long term humanitarian, cultural and educational projects which will be beneficial to as many needy people as possible, trough delegation or in collaboration with other charities, organisations and institutions with comparable objectives to our charity.

In accordance with these objectives, it has been possible to carry out the following activities and projects...

For the period 1st Feb 2020 – 31st Jan 2021, in line with the financial report:-

July 2020

£10,000 were transferred to Sanad Society for children with special need in Nablus region in Palestine, following a fundraising dinner held by the trustees on February 2020 , to support Sanad’s work and the various services they provide for children with special needs ,enabling them to reach a stage of relative independence .

August 2020

£10,000 were transferred to the Lebanese Red Cross in response to their emergency appeal , following the massive explosion at the Port of Beirut , resulting in the death of more than two hundred persons and injuring thousands , hoping to save the most vulnerable and needy during this national crisis.

November 2020

The trustees have donated £2000 (amount transferred on 6/1/21) to “Crisis”, towards their Christmas Appeal. At Christmas and throughout the year Crisis helps people including refugees and asylum seekers, directly out of homelessness and campaigns for the social changes needed to solve it altogether, through education, training and support with housing, employment and health. They offer one to one support, advice and courses for homeless people in 12 areas across England, Scotland and Wales. However, each Christmas they mobilise a unique volunteering effort to provide warmth, companionship and vital services to people facing homelessness.

December 2020

£500 donated (amount transferred on 31/1/21) to the Adel war Memorial Association as a contribution towards a community sporting event “The big

Brunch”, Held in Leeds on Christmas day 2020, which included a small football tournament, food and gift giving. with the aim to help support 120 refugees & asylum seekers housed in hotels around Leeds, believing that sport is a universal language bringing these men from different cultures together to help them forget their struggles during a special, but for many, lonely time.

This event was managed by a team of doctors, volunteers and in partnership with Bevan Healthcare CIC and sponsored by multiple faith based, private, community and corporate organisations.

The following events and donations are in line with the next financial accounting period 1[st] Feb 2021 - 31st Jan 2022:

February 2021

The IAC trustees made a grant of £10,000 to the COVID -19 Programme in Palestine that The International Medical Education Trust 2000 (IMET2000) Charity has set out to upgrade the critical care service throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territories with the spread of COVID-19, as feared COVID 19 has spread like wildfire throughout West Bank and Gaza , which is already struggling in the Health Sector for economic and geopolitical reasons. Through their COVID 19 Programme , the IMET 2000 have funded a COVID-19 management programme through Palestine comprising: the official Ministry of Health training programme in critical care for CV19 patients; provision of personal protective equipment (PPE); essential medicines and toiletries to hundreds of CV19 infected patients; donation of 45 newly designed UCLVentura constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) respirators with breathing circuits and masks for non-invasive oxygen supply to severely infected patients; and throughout these months they also built up physical and mental health services where the need has been amplified by the pandemic.

The (IMET2000) was established and registered as a UK charity (No: 1081287) in the year 2000 with a mission to upgrade healthcare worldwide through field research, education and training of all professionals in the Health Sector particularly those working with children suffering physical and mental trauma caused by extreme economic deprivation, major natural disasters or military conflict.

Dr. Esmat Al-Said School

The (IAC) pays special attention and constant monitoring of Dr. Esmat Al-Said School and is committed to the sustainability, support and development of its work as it is through this school that the Charity endeavours to realise one of its fundamental objectives, i.e. Furthering Education and raising awareness of the Arabic language and culture as well as meeting the needs of the Arab community in the UK.

Face-to-face teaching is back for this academic year at Dr. Esmat Al-Said School , as from September the 11[th] 2021 and students are being enrolled from the age of 4 years up to 16 years old, starting from the reception class up to the GCSE level. Special Arrangements have been applied by the school management for the return of face to face teaching including ,the Covid risk assessment, to comply with health and safety law and put in place proportionate control measures.

A relatively good number of students were registered for this academic year, taking into consideration all the difficulties and challenges the school went through during the past year, presented by Covid 19 and due to having to teach on line, which led to the loss of a huge number of our students .However, we expect the number to gradually increase by the end of the first term.

Last but not least, we would like to offer our thanks to the Head Teacher, Ms. Nidal Ali and the school management along with the teaching team for their continued efforts in providing an encouraging learning environment which is being reflected in the development of its work and in the achievement of superior exams results in the GCSE ,where All our GCSE students for the year 2020-2021 who sat the GCSE Arabic Higher Level Examination, have achieved the highest level of 9/9 (A*).

- Finance :

Net assets down £37000 from £548230 to £511,272 in 2021. The school was severely hit by the pandemic and our numbers decreased from 180 to just under 100 students so school income went from £63,500 in the previous year to £24,750 this year; however losses were in part offset as we did not have the £25,000 rent to pay as the school moved online, and we only subsidised the school by £16,000 this year.

Investments held steady from £357,316 to £357, 480 this year despite the turbulence from the pandemic. Our bank account is down around £40,000 from £189,600 to £148,800 reflecting £23,000 in donations and £16,000 for the IAC school. For donations, please see above.

Honourable Members

We would like to remind the nominees for the election to the membership of the Board of Trustees that membership in the Board requires time and commitment dedicated to this Charity and to its work. Therefore, the nominees must be honest with themselves and decide whether or not they have the time, energy and the will to work for the success of this charitable organisation and advance its noble aims.

We hope that all members will participate actively in making this honourable organisation and its work a success.

We also thank all those who helped with time and effort to keep our Charity moving forward.

We hope that we have been successful in our work during the past term and wish our Charity and the new members of the Board of Trustees every success in their endeavour for the benefit of the Charity and its members.
