Aims of SCYS UK
SCYS UK was initially established to provide information, advice and guidance to the local Sikh community, especially the youth. The organisation has developed further over the last decade and is now able to deliver its services to all communities across Birmingham. The objectives of the organisation are specifically aimed at providing facilities in the interest of social welfare, recreation and to support and educate beneficiaries.
The range of services delivered by the organisation over the years have been quite varied, depending upon the needs of the community and the availability of resources.
Objectives of SCYS UK
SCYS UK has been established for the benefit of the inhabitants of Birmingham and surrounding areas, to provide specific services of social, welfare, support, education, recreation and leisure, thus enabling beneficiaries to develop their capacity, both physically and mentally.
Chairpersons Statement
The last 12 months have seen the most turbulent times that have been faced within the voluntary sector due to the impact of the Covid pandemic. Our organisation has continued to deliver vital services to the local community as and when possible during the national lockdowns.
With a team of volunteers and dedicated staff we have been able to help people who were most in need during the Covid pandemic, many of these people had no one else to help them and we ensured that they were supported.
We are continually seeking funding opportunities and reviewing strategies to generate alternative earned income streams, which would enable our work to continue longer term. Similar to many other voluntarily sector organisations we are constantly under threat from cut backs and lack of local resources.
We would like to thank all our service users, volunteers and staff and look forward to continue working with them in the future.
Project Update
SCYS UK has continued to deliver a range of services to the local community, from our one stop, “Information, Advice and Guidance Centre” based in Handsworth, Birmingham. The range of services delivered over the last twelve months, are detailed below.
1. Employment Resource Centre – ERC - providing employment support and career guidance to local people, seeking to access employment.
2. Learning Resource Centre – Delivering various accredited and non-accredited courses, to develop the skills and capacity of local people through partnership working with local colleges and accredited training providers.
3. Women’s and Children’s Project – Range of services aimed at meeting the needs of working women – or women who want to return to work.
4. Welfare Advice Centre - Provides advice as well as hands-on support to the local community on all welfare matters including form-filling, benefit advice and support, letter reading, telephone enquiries, etc.
5. Housing Project - This project has supported the development of affordable housing to meet the needs of local people.

For the year ended 31 March 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiners statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
