REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMirrEE
Chaimian's Report
In fifteen years of the work of Central and Wesl Integration Network, I do not think we have
ever reported on a year which has seen such a wide and diverse range of activities as 2023124
This is true of both our own work with our community members. volunteers and staff which
allows us to deliver a great variety of practical support, learning and information and enjoyable
and ¢reative activibes, and also of the work VR do with an impressive range of partner
organisations. People have cooked food from around the World, improved their numeracy
alongside their English language skills. leamt aboLrt cyber secunty, played ukuleles, walked
around the city and tre banks of Loth LomorKI and climbed the height of Ben Nevis within
Garnethill Multicultural Centre. to raise funds, besides many other activities detailed in Ihis
rep(Kt.
This has been achieved despite a very difficult funding environment. through the efforts of our
brilliant team of staff, sessional worker5, and volunteers arKI of our Managemenl Committee
memters
Much of our work continued to be with asylum seeking and refugee communities. New peoFle
continued to arrive in Glas9￿1 and were often housed in unsatisfactory situations such as
hotels. We seek to understand and meet the needs of each individual, whilst encouraging the
participation of and links wrth wider communities. We a￿ pleased by the continuing success
of our Food Hub. Peopl8 can choose food that meets their needs, induding a Tange of fresh
and 'cultural' foods, arKI needs in the l¢xal community Can also be met, in hard economic
times. 11 is complemented by our weekly communty meals, frequently induding special
celebration everrts. which help to build the communty links.
Thanks are due to all our fvnders. espeC￿llY to Glasgow City Council. without whose core
financial support we would not exist. and to the wrde range of partners who make our activitiés
possible, and who are acknowledged in this report. Thanks especially lo our hosts and
partnets at Garrthill Multicuftural Communty Centre.
More people interested in helping us on our committee are atrways welcome. l expect to be
standing down soon from my long running role as Chair and am delighted that I can do so at
a time when the organisation is so actsve and effective.

Our ESOL CLASSES
We provide ESOL dasses in partnership with Glasgow Clyde College 3 days per week for 2
hours - on Mondays (literacyl beginners class), on Tuesdays (elementary class) and Fridays
(pre4ntemiediatel intemediale dass}. We also run 3 ESOL classes at T¢)wnhead Village
Hall for 2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Starting in September. we embedded
elements of numeracy into all our ESOL classes as part of the Multiply programme. We also
¢￿ated 2 new classes at Townhead. a beginners. class on Tuesdays and a conversation
dass on Thursdays.
OUR GARDENING PROJECT
We supported some of our cnmmunity members to adopt our allotment at Lambhill
Allotment. One of the families have been very successful in raising lots of plants. cwfN
provKled seeds, tools and dothing thanks to a Lefs Grow Together grant from Glasgow Crty
Council. CWIN also has an allotment plot al a srte in L)rwnchapel, Growchapel allotments.
Community members are invited to attend regular garden sessions during the main growing
season, where they tske part in growing food, garden landscaping and construction and
garden maintenance. We had other gardening related activities in Townhead Village Hall
and Essenside Church in Drumchap81.
OUR DROP-IN SERVICE
We used the drop in to support people on a one to one and get people to Sign up for
different projects that we have at Cl*VIN induding Sim cards, gym sign up, bike sKJn ups and
ESOL dasses arKJ to advertise the sèrvices we wovide al CWN. The drop in service help
people with queries regarding welfare support. such as clothes., registering for services such

OUR COMMUNITY FOOD HUB
The Food Hub is a community food space which is primarily set up for a food pantry serrfica
which takes place three days a week. However. the Food Hub is also a Sp￿ used to
conduct other community development activities with volunteers and Customers at the Food
Hub. The Food Hub primarily serrfes refugees. asylum seekers and BME communities and
these categories describe most of th8 volunteers also. There are approximately 100
members accessing the Servi￿ across each week and these seem to be largely the same
people each week, but there is variation.
OUR COMMUNITY MEALS
The community meal has been steady in this reporting peric*J seeing around 40- 60 people
eating with us each Y￿ek. Because we have surrounded it with other activities such as
ESOL, exercise, knitting aTrJ digrtal leaming. participants of the meal are more varied and
less focuss8d on the food hub waiting list. There is a small number of people who attend
only the meal. too. There has been more of a 'communty feel,. It continues to work well as a
welcoming waiting area for the food hub and a place for the attendees to sooalise.
Cooking at the community meal.. We have seen more variety of foodsl cultures
represented at the ¢ommunty meal. There is a pool of volunteer chefs who cover most
Fridays. This group is made up entirely of members of the communrtyl attendees of the
meal. We Gontinued with the theme of communty cookbook during this perbod. In addition.
we had up to 17 events as part of the weekly community meals.

Statement ol th& charlty's pollcy on reserves
Central and West Integration Network is Currently dependent on grant funding to Sustain its
activities, as eamed income alone would not allow Central and West Integration Netsyork to
continue operating.
This means that rf there were to be a gap in granl funding it is likely that Central and West
Integration Network SCIO would have to dose down.
To avoid closure if funding diificu￿1es were to hakwen Central and West Integration Nefv￿rk
Executive Committee has agreed to keep a certain level of finanaal reserves to ensure that
Main operations can continue for a period of 3 months.
Redundancy payments are made.
The main concerns of Executive Committee are to ensure..
that staff can continue working. primarily to secure new funding.
that memberslServi￿ users are supported to move on to other services.
Currently funding has been secured at differenl levels up until March 2028. but rf difficutties
were to arise then. it has been calculated that reserves of £41.368.22 would be needed to
continue running for at least 3 months and redundancy payment of £17.481.64. The
calculations are included as an appendix to this p)licy.
The reserves should be built up from the unrestricted (eamed) income.
The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every 12 months by the Director
o will report back to the Executive Committee.
This policy should be reviewed yearty and whenever there are significant changes in staff
hours, numbers or ￿Ued years of service.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Management Committee
I report on the financial statements of the chanty for the year ended 31 March 2024 on pages
11 16 which have been prepared under Ihe historical cost convention and the accounting
policies for charities.
Respectlve responslbllltles of the Managerne￿ ConThittee and the Independent
Examlner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scottand) 2005 Act and the Charities
Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my
responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to
slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Ba$ls of Indepondent examinerfs slatement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulati￿ 11 of the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulation5 20￿. An examination indudes a review ofth8 accounting records kept
by the ¢harty and a comparison of the a￿Ount$ presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual iterns or disclosu￿ in the accounts and seeks explanations
from the trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all
the evidence that would be required in an audit and. consequently. I do not express an audit
opinion on the accounts.
Independent examlner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come lo my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to beli8V8 that in any material respect the
requirernents-.
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
R8gulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. and
to prepare accounts wthich accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2. to which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order lo enable a proper
underslanding of the accounts to be reached.
