BEEAS Trustees’ Annual Report 2021-2022
Background
The Birmingham Ethnic Education and Advisory Service (BEEAS) is a Charitable Trust founded in 1984 by a small group of benefactors from the community. The organisation has, as its principal aims, the education and training of adults (that is all those beyond statutory school age) who wish to participate in its services which are free of charge.
Aims and Purposes
The advancement of education among the communities in Birmingham and the West Midlands by way of teaching the English language, health education, or in any such other ways as the Trustees’ shall determine, either directly or by way of sponsoring self-help groups among the communities concerned.
Supporting the needs of the community by the provision of an advice and information service, having regard within those communities to the lack of knowledge of the English language and the lack of means of obtaining such advice and the information from their own resources.
Providing or sponsoring the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time activities in order to benefit those among the communities who have the need for such facilities regardless of their social and economic circumstances.
The Trust shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.

Activities, Performance and Achievements of 2021- 2022
BEEAS has had a difficult couple of years due to the Government Covid 19 lockdown in March 2020. Despite this it has continued to maintain strong partnerships with the funders and partners. All teaching was delivered online from March 2020 to July 2020. We returned to face to face teaching in September 2020 but went into lockdown in January 2021 until May 2021 and back to face to face delivery from May 2021 until July 2021. This change has been very challenging for both learners and tutors. However, our learner numbers for 2021/22 remained strong at 246 learners. The achievement rate of 89.3% increased from last year’s figure by 0.1%. Our facilities and resources remain good as we have invested in IT equipment and staff training. However, our venues are much reduced due to Covid 19, and this impacted negatively on our learner numbers and finances.
BEEAS learners continue to be offered impartial information and advice and signposted accordingly and this service was assessed and verified by Matrix the awarding body for this area of our work in February 2020. BEEAS were assessed by Investors in People in January 2022 and achieved this Award. BEEAS was nominated for the Queen's Award in May 2021 however we were not successful for this award. Partners have continued to report that they have positive relationships with BEEAS and that we are professional to work with, and that they admire our values and principles.
We continue to deliver the following courses: Accredited classes in Life & Living Skills, ESOL Skills for Life, Functional Skills Maths and English, Pre- Entry ESOL and non accredited ESOL classes. Currently all our work is Entry 3 and below.

BEEAS was awarded a contract by Birmingham City Council to provide ESOL classes for refugees who have arrived in Birmingham through the Vulnerable Syrians Resettlement Scheme (SVPRS); this contract ended in February 2022 and a new contract was agreed in February 2023 which runs until February 2024. The purpose of this project is to provide ESOL at all levels to Syrian refugee arrivals , a family learning holiday programme, Initial Advice and Guidance and signposting We also provide the opportunity for suitable candidates for mentoring, volunteering and employment.
Learners are signposted to either the BEEAS main programme or to suitable providers to ensure their needs are met most appropriately. BEEAS works closely with Refugee Action, Spring Housing, MiFriendly Cities, Restore, Citizens UK, Birmingham Migration Forum, Birmingham Adult Education and Birmingham City Council to deliver this project.
Our Syrian family holiday classes supporting speaking and listening are now funded by Birmingham City Council directly, whereas in 2016, 2017 and 2018 we received funding from Refugee Action to do this work. In 2021-2022 we delivered a flexible feeder ESOL course to 14 Syrian learners. On the Syrian holiday programme, we worked with 66 adults and 158 children.
Our learner feedback has indicated that BEEAS has helped to develop their personal and workrelated skills such as team working and problem-solving, which prepares them well for employment, career aims and personal goals. Adult learners, who are parents, report being more confident in supporting their children in their education, as well as being more self-assured to participate more widely within their local communities as a result of their increased confidence in spoken and written English.
Leadership and direction of the service remains strong with a pro-active Trustee Board; organisation structure which is carefully planned, enabling a professional interface with partner organisations, yet an informal and very welcoming environment for staff and learners. Lynne Morris has been Chair of BEEAS since June 2019 and is supported by eight very dedicated Trustees.
The behaviours and values demonstrated by staff are recognised and valued by clients and partners, BEEAS has received very positive comments from clients, staff and partners who confirm that it is effective and consistent across all external and internal relationships and at all levels.
Collaboration with partners is strong, staff not only management, have taken the time to understand partner capability and objectives and to communicate their own; this leads to a highly collaborative network of partners; there are many examples of how this benefits the community, such as increased signposting and referrals between organisations, and the use of venues in the
3
community from which support is delivered. The relationship with key partner Joseph Chamberlain College (JCC) is worthy of particular mention, this has yielded access not only to funding, but also to information and resources that are tailored and distributed to learners, along with training and development opportunities for staff. The relationship with JCC remains strong and BEEAS has reduced the level of work slightly for 2021-2022 to help the BEEAS team consolidate after 2 years of COVID pressures.
Resources are well managed, and the organisation is able to offer a highly flexible and responsive service. Venues are sourced from a wide range of community locations, and clients and staff say they are well managed and that their courses and meetings run smoothly.
Staff worked on a flexible basis but enjoyed a strong sense of belonging, however it has been noticed that since Covid 19 in March 2020 staff and learners have struggled with hybrid learning. They attribute this in part to the communications across their different working hours, locations and also as some are isolated and working from home.
As BEEAS continues to grow it has been recognised by the Trustees that a review of the organisational structure will be needed with the need to appoint more permanent staff. A Curriculum and Quality manager was appointed in July 2019 but left BEEAS in September 2022 for a management role at Joseph Chamberlain College. Two full time administrators and Information and Advice Guidance workers were appointed in August 2021. Trustees had approved some permanent part time tutors for appointment in March 2020 but due to Covid and the staffing changes the structure was reviewed and sessional Course Leaders were appointed in August 2022.
Our partners in 2021-2022 were Joseph Chamberlain College; Birmingham City Council; Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT) Birchfield School in Birchfield. Our other partners are Aspire and Succeed, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust (BSMHFT). In addition, we partner with Refugee Action, Lozells Methodist Community Centre, Spring Housing , Birmingham Migration Forum, Syrian Resettlement working group of Birmingham City Council and Birmingham City Council Services for Older People Team at Cherwell Gardens.
Risk
The Trustees of BEEAS are committed to effective risk management as an integral part of ensuring good corporate governance in relation to overseeing risk within the organisation. They receive reports that confirm the controls in place to manage risks annually. Risks are identified across the charity by the Executive Director and brought to the Board in the regular management report.
In the main, the key risks are linked to funding sources as this is primarily from having one main commissioner of service. Other risks are around workforce recruitment, retention and
4
development, and for the next year the negative ongoing impact of Covid 19 on learner retention, achievement and finances. Reports are received by the Board in relation to the funding position, regular meetings with the main commissioner take place as a control mechanism to manage that risk and staffing reports are discussed at every Board meeting along with any mitigations to manage that risk. During 2022/23 work will take place on a formal risk register which will then be reported regularly to the Board.
Equality and Diversity
The Trustees of the Charity acknowledge their responsibilities in relation to equality and diversity and have worked to ensure a representative Board of Trustees is in place. Work is ongoing on reviewing and updating all policies across the service however a detailed policy in relation to all aspects of equal opportunities is in place based on the Joseph Chamberlain College policies which the Board has adopted.
Our thanks to all our partners without whom it would not be possible for BEEAS to deliver our services across the City of Birmingham and to the Trustees for their leadership. Our growing staff team and volunteers remain our most valuable resource and our thanks go to all of them for their hard work, loyalty and dedication to our learners.
