Message from our Manager
Over the past twelve months, I have been inspired by the determination of our staff and
volunteers who have worked selflessly and tirelessly to bring about meaningful change to the
lives of many people in our community through the services we provide. I am also immensely
proud to hear of the positive testimonies from women and the youth whose life we have
positively impacted and their determination to take a full part in the social and economic
development of the community.
Our focus
Over the pastyear the Trustees and
Associates have refocused our long-term
goals, motivated by our desire to have the
meaningful impact to make sure that
women and the youth particularly those
from multi-ethnic background seamlessly
integrate into the community and make
positive contribution
The refocus enabled us to reach out to the
large groups of women and the youth
through a widened range of services
including the Sumer Scheme and the
Career Guidance Talks and Skills
Development.
Over the coming years, we expect to
expand our direct work with the women
and the youth to include the areas beyond
the Spinney Hills.
Our results and impact last year
Financial performance
From the financial side, you will read from
the report that we had cash surplus of
£4,272.38 which was largely as a result of
a donation of £4,100 at the beginning of
the year.
Since large individual donations cannot be
guaranteed, we are reviewing and
strengthening our fundraising capabilities
to ensure that we have more steady flow of
income throughout the year to finance our
community initiatives.
Our core achievements
We achieved significant in meeting our
goals in the areas of counselling; housing,
benefits and family support services; family
support, financial support and youth
development through the Summer Scheme
activities and skills development
workshops
We also recorded increased numbers than
ever before for our Wednesday coffee
mornings, sewing classes, cookery
workshops, fundraising dinner and
papering evenings
Finally
None of the above achievements would
have been possible without the combined
contributions from staff, volunteers, funders
and our network of partners within the
community.
My thanks to you all for what we have
achieved during the year.
Jamila Jones
Manager

Governance, Structure and Management
The charity Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity.
The trustees along with the associate members give their time freely and receive no
remuneration or other financial benefits.
The trustees and associate members hold regular meetings together as a body and are
responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running of the activities provided by the charity.
To assist in the smooth running of the charity the trustees have set up a number of sub-

7. 7
committees to ensure each member plays a clear role and there is accountability for all
functions.
Sub-committees are currently set up for finance, projects and day to day management of the
charity and report back on performance to the full meeting of the trustees. The sub-
committees’ membership reflect the particular skills that trustees can bring to the work of the
specific functions ofthe sub-committees.
Recruitment and appointment of Associate Members
The trustees are responsible for the recruitment of associate members and they do so by
seeking the views and recommendations from some members of the community. The trustees
believe this approach ensures that new associate members are respected members of the
local community and ensures that good relations are fostered between the organisation and
local community that we serve.
In selecting new associate members, we identify people who regularly attend events and
functions organized by our charity and are willing to volunteer to help in our broader community
work. Potential associate members are invited to attend trustee meetings as observers and
are given more details of the charity’s aim and activities and if all agree their names are then
proposed as a new associate member at the subsequent trustees meeting. This process
allows due consideration of the person’s eligibility, personal competence, specialist knowledge
and skills.
Induction and Training of Associate Members
Following appointment, new associate members are introduced to their new role and given an
induction pack with copies ofour governing document, minutes of last meeting and policies and
procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications by the Charity Commission are
also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit and our code of conduct.
This ensures that new associate members are aware of the scope of their responsibilities
under the Charities Act.
Once they successfully complete their inductions, the new associate members initially work
with existing members assisting on particular activities and projects run by the charity. After
satisfactory feedback from existing members they are then given the task of leading a
particular activity or project, reporting progress at trustees and associate member’s meetings.
Adequate support is provided to the new Associate Members through trainings and coaching
on specific areas ofskills gap in their roles.

8. 8
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the risks the charity faces and have drawn up a risk matrix which
identifies the major risks by area of activity. The nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks
happening and the measures taken to manage them.
Trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by the charity at trustee meetings and
sub-committee meetings in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks.
The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage
the risks that have been identified.
In particular, insurance cover is in place and the finances of the charity are kept in order.
Appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, supported by regular reviewed
policies, are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups within the
charity.
Use of Volunteers
Volunteers an important resource of our community work and play a key role in the delivery of
our services. Volunteers are involved in most of our community activities and we have over 10
people regularly giving their time. All our trustees and associate members also give their time
freely. We encourage all members of our charity to be involved in voluntary activities and to
share their skills with others. We also arrange training and skills workshops for volunteers’
development. All those volunteers working with projects involving children or other vulnerable
groups are DBS checked.
Razia Suleman: Administrative Officer
Razia joined Second Chance as a volunteer in March
2015. She was shy and quietand lacked confidence in
her abilities. She has worked for over a year as a
volunteer and as Office Administrator. This job role has
done wonders for her confidence. She says this about
herselfafter one year with Second Chance.
“I feel strong and gained confidence since
volunteering. What I’ve become today I wouldn’t
have done any of it a few months ago. My family is
happy for what you’ve helped me with.”

Services, Activities & Achievements
How our activities deliver public benefit?
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The
trustees consider that these activities summarized below provide benefit both to those who
have directaccess to our services and to the wider community ofLeicester.
Community Services & Activities
Our charity provides a valuable educational and recreational resource. A wide variety of
activities are organized and take place from our center.
Rooms
Our kitchen & Rooms is available for use by individuals, local groups and organizations. This
year alone the facilities have been used by members of the local community who facilitated
weekly cookery workshops promoting healthy and nutritious meals on a small budget, charity
groups such as City Retreat hired lounge space for meetings.
Rubia a local and dedicated tutor of KS2 & KS3 science runs a science club every Saturday to
improve and develop children’s knowledge and skills in science. Individuals, local charities and
groups are encouraged to make use ofour facilities for a small charge.
Counselling
Our counselling service is open to women aged 18 and over. Our counselling clients come to
us for a number of reasons, ranging from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem to deeper issues
such as abuse and domestic violence. Our Counsellor is a volunteer and a trained practitioner
in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Between April 2015 and December 2015, our counsellor saw over 50 clients on a regular
weekly basis. Not all referrals translated into initial assessments, 10 women were signposted
to other domestic violence services.
Housing, Benefit & Family Support Service
44 women were supported or either signposted through this service. Women and their families
struggling with benefit and debt problems and wanting advice and financial support. Our
Support Workers dealt with cases by drawing up budgets and teaching money management,
providing benefitand housing supportby completing forms and signposting to other agencies.
These women were able to improve their financial situation and rebuild their lives. Many of the
women were experiencing situations which affected their ability to access mainstream support.
Single parenthood, ethnic minority background, poor numeracy and literacy skills, risk of
eviction, homelessness and relationship difficulties were some ofthe issues

10. 10
Family Support
In June 2015 a homeless family of Senegalese origin moved into Leicester. A young couple,
with two children aged 6 and 3 years and the wife was 8 months pregnant. They had fled from
Glasgow, Scotland because they had been victims of racial abuse. They were spotted by a
kind lady who saw them on a park bench. When Second Chance was notified an appeal was
sent out and the couple were housed by several families for a couple of months until they
moved into their own house in October 2015.
Second Chance was able to raise £310 which was given to the couple to support them in
August 2015 and regular food hampers were given to them until the couple were able to get on
their feet. The wife later gave birth to a baby girl in July 2015 and they were able to collect the
donations from the office in August 2015. When contacted the couple said:
“We are really grateful for the support Second Chance has given our family in Leicester. The
moral and physical support given has made our life in Leicester much easier and we know that
whatever difficulty we go through we can always turn to them for support.”
Ahmed & Fatiha (Names have been changed)
Appeals
This is Miriam Aman, an 18-year-old girl currently
pursuing a nursing course in Uganda. In November 2014,
Mariam was diagnosed with Syryngomyelia which is a
chronic progressive disease in which longitudinal cavities
form in the cervical region of the spinal cord. This
characteristically results in wasting of the muscles in the
hands and a loss of sensation. Mariam was in a lot of
pain and she couldn’t carry out her normal day to day
duties. Mariam’s mother sent an appeal to Second
Chance and by February 2015, £550 was raised which
was used for Mariam to undertake a surgical procedure
at Kijabe Missionary hospital in Kenya. Today Mariam is
a picture of health and is pursuing her dream of becoming
a nurse which wouldn’t have been possible if she wasn’t given
a Second Chance in life.
Telephone Enquiries
For 2015, we received approximately 240 telephone enquiries. We also received a number of
enquiries via email and social media. Benefits, Domestic Violence,Immigration, Form Filling,
Homelessness, and Counselling was a main factor.

11. 11
Art Class
Women’s Art Sessions was facilitated by a volunteer who is a
gifted artist and wanted to share her skills and give back to the
community On average, 10 women attended the workshops.
These were slow to take off but steadily increased in numbers.
Really enjoyed the class it was very relaxing, I was feeling
so stressed before I went into the class, after 5 minutes all
the stress of “the day was an afterthought.”
Doreen Jones, Aged 53
Wednesday Coffee Mornings
We provide a regular weekly women’s Wednesday coffee morning to develop social networks
for the community for young and older people living in the area that contributes to health, social
and mental wellbeing. The women attending have discovered mutual support networks where
they can chat freely and offer advice and exchange information. Our coffee mornings act as an
introduction to our services. Coffee mornings were attended by 418 women a staggering 200
more than the previous year
Mixed Media – Sponge Effect
Turkish Brunch

12. 12
Sewing Classes
Needlework, embroidery and patchwork classes for women & children provided a creative
outlet to develop children’s motor skills and manual dexterity and give children a valuable skill
that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Also a fun and relaxing activity for mothers to
share with their children on average 8 children and 3 adults attended each sewing class.
Cookery Workshops
Due to the ethnic mix of people in our community we held regular cookery workshops to
encourage people to taste different culinary dishes. The workshops were conducted fortnightly
by a skilled community cookery instructor. This proved to be an extremely popular way to foster
community cohesion. The nutritional low budget cookery workshops were facilitated by
Maryam Bham. The regular attendance was 10 ladies per session because of the limited
kitchen space. The ladies who attended were representative of the community i.e. Somali,
Asian and White and this helped promote social interaction and create a past-time activity for
the elderly and young.

13. 13
The cookery workshops not only helped to improve the quality of life and encourage active
participation through diverse cultural dishes but helped promote their budgeting skills because
the instructor was able to identify and promote low cost ingredients that were nutritious and
healthy. As much as we would have liked to continue with the service it has been put on hold
as our kitchen space is small and we are currently looking for bigger premises. At a recent
community survey conducted by Second Chance almost 80% of the respondents suggested
that they would like to have regular cookery workshops.
One of the attendees had this to say:
“It was lovely meeting the other ladies and getting to learn how to cook and prepare
different cultural dishes. It helped me with budgeting and now I can make simple meals
for my family on a low budget”
Muna, age 28
Summer Scheme
From 27th July to 21st August 2015, Second
Chance launched the first ever summer scheme
program in the Leicestershire area. The
scheme’s theme was “Shine like a Diamond”
and its objective was to mainly encourage,
promote and develop practical skills and foster
interaction and community cohesion amongst
the different ethnic group set up in
Leicester. The summer scheme occupied the
youth throughout the summer break reducing
idleness and destructive behavior and exposing
the youth to creative and self-development activities.
They were kept busy learning different skills facilitated
by qualified volunteers’ tutors and mentors from different professional backgrounds.

14. 14
The scheme offered sessions for a wide age groups 3-5, 6-12, 13-18 offering diverse subject
areas exposing the youth to different activities since the workshops were not only geared to
careers development but practical hands on skills which included Sewing, Arts and Crafts,
Candle making, Cookery and Baking, Games and Sports, Calligraphy, Martial Arts and social
outings and excursions.
The
total number of youth attendees was 150 throughout
the sessions and these were supported and facilitated
by 30 facilitators and 15 volunteers. At the community
survey conducted by Second Chance almost 98% of
the response was positive for a Summer Scheme in
2016.
One of the youth who attended the programme had this to say;
“It was fun and a way to get us to enjoy the summer without missing out on all the
techno and social media like play stations and television. I personally had a blast and
what was great about it was that not only did I get to learn a lot from the different
teachers but I was also able to make lots of friends whom I have continued to be in
touch with”
Sabrah Siraj, aged 15, Sir Jonathan North Community College
The youth programs like the “Shine like a Diamond” Summer Scheme was developed to
occupy the youth in a meaningful and social enterprising atmosphere. Other inspiring projects
included karate sessions and the Youth/Art and Crafts Club. This helped to keep the youth
off the streets and away from disruptive gangs which are presently an ongoing problem. We
are hopeful that the Summer scheme 2016 will be supported by a cohort of professionals who
have years of experience and whose main role would be to deliver more interesting and varied
sessions/workshops to inspire the youth to be “Precious Pearls”.

Martial Arts

Trips & Excursions
Every year, we organise trips to different theme parks or seaside beaches. This is an
opportunity for individuals and families to get together. Thorpe Park, Alton Towers, Twin Lakes
are just some of the excursions we have arranged in the past. On the 22nd August 2015 we
organised a family outing to Hunstanton, bringing new and old members of the community
together to socialise and have fun with their children. Two coaches with a total of 160 attended
this excursion.
Furniture Sale
To help those in desperate need and change lives we transformed unwanted furniture which
was collected and refurbished and resold to help those struggling.
Second hand clothes, toys, electrical goods were also collected and then given out in charity,
or sold at auction to raise money for our services. Unfortunately, we had to close this service
due to lack of storage space. We raised £175 and donated other stock to individuals in the
community who were struggling and in need ofhousehold items.

16. 16
Fundraising Dinner
The dinner hosted over 150 guests and
included, auction after dinner speaker
entertainment, table sale and three course
meal and drinks.
The dinner was a vital way for Second
Chance to raise funds, network and raise
awareness about our charity. The proceeds
from the dinner enabled us to fund and
develop our core work of providing services
and projects to the community.
We raised over £1000 this includes a pledge which was later
fulfilled by a 6-year-old boy who attended the event with his
mother. We plan to hold a fundraising dinner each year
alongside our AGM.

17. 17
Collaborations
Charities & Organizations we worked with to provide following Projects;
Careers Workshops
Health Link & Second Chance
Between October and December 2015, Second Chance and Health Link services in St.
Matthews, Leicester linked up to offer a series of Careers and Youth Development Workshops.
A total of 25 students (aged 14-25) benefited from the workshops. 20 facilitators
from different professional backgrounds i.e. doctors, nurses, a dietician, pharmacist,
accountant, environmentalist, entrepreneur and motivational speakers were able to deliver
these sessions. A certificate giving ceremony on 5th December 2015 marked the end of the
sessions and one participanthad this to say.
"I havereallyenjoyed thesessions.It has opened my eyes
to a lot of different career paths and skills needed to pursue them. I have met
differentprofessionals who have been able to answer my questions and I am now convinced
that I am capable of pursuing my dream of becoming a Civil engineer"
Shahida Siraj, aged 17, GatewayCollege

Sisters4Islam & Second Chance
Pampering Evening
Every 3-4 months we organise a pampering
evening to help fund some of our
activities. This is a great opportunity for women
to get together meet new friends and relax while
indulging in the manytreatments on offer.
These Pampering sessions have become very
popular and allow the elderly to socialise with
the young in a multi-cultural environment. The
pampering sessions include head massages,
hair and beauty sessions, Mehndi sessions,
exchanging and sharing skills and knowledge.
Onaverage
60-70 womenregularlyattend this function.
Arabic Classes
The Arabic classes began in March 2015 and have been running for almost a year now and are
delivered by a highly talented tutor Malka who is originally from Iraq. The classes run on
Mondays from 2.30pm to 4.30 pm and they are aimed at instructing non speakers of Arabic to
learn communicating skills in the simplest and easiest way. This class is open to all who may
benefitfrom it and at the momentthe class has an average of10 students per session.
Study Circles
These circles are held on a regular weekly schedule, facilitated by women of faith open to all
women in the community. Every participant will feel welcomed. The study circles were also
requested by the community to enable ladies to have a forum to exchange information and give
each other moral and spiritual support. The circles occur every Sunday from 3 to 4 pm. They
are facilitated by expert women from different professions and backgrounds. On average 15
women attend the weekly sessions and many have benefitted greatly.
“It’s the warmth and friendship of the women and the genuine interest of the teachers to share
knowledge that has made me love these circles. I always push myself to attend and I have
never regretted attending a session. I always leave feeling fully charged to do more spiritually
and practically for myself, family and community. I can’t thank the organisers enough for
making this possible”
Mehmoodah Peshimam, aged 66, pensioner

Community Meal Program (Ramadan Iftar weekend programme)
This project began for Ramadan of 2010 and it was at the request of community members who
had recently settled in Leicester and didn’t have friends and family to enjoy the spirit and
festivity of the holy month of Ramadan. The charity along with sisters4Islam began a weekend
community meal program (iftar programme) originally hosted by the Al Furqan Community
Centre in St. Mathews, Leicester (2010, 2011, and 2012). The project has grown in popularity
so much so that they have hosted up to 150 women and children at a time.
The charity provides the cutlery and the main meals which are at times sponsored by
restaurants like Koyla’s, Zagros Pizza, Alabela, Island Dishes, Khamis Biryani and others who
prefer to remain anonymous. The rest of the dishes are provided by the attendees and usually
the spread would be varied and delicious portraying all the ethnic backgrounds in Leicester.
The project has also been hosted at the Quba Centre in Highfields (2013), Al Khair
Organization (2014) and the Muslim Association of Leicester (2015) both in Evington. The
program has attracted women and children from different ethnic backgrounds, faiths and
professions. The beauty of the program is the friendships, cultural interaction and community
cohesion that the program has fostered.
One of the participants had this to say;
“I love the family spirit, I have made lots of friends who have become like family. What I enjoy
most is sitting on the floor with the different women from diverse cultural backgrounds and
sharing tasty meals cooked by each one of them. It’s the sharing and caring attitude that keeps
me coming back and I can’t wait and look forward to the next one in Ramadan 2016”
Jane (Saffiya) Cowel, 61 years, Pensioner

Thank You Message
I was a victim of domestic violence.
Myself and my son were moved to Leicester from London by social services and the court to
make us safe. I was homeless and was given a place in a refuge. It was very hard for me to
move to a new place where I knew no one and the city was completely strange to me. It was a
new start for me and my son, I was completely confused and anxious where to start from. My
supportworker introduced me to SECOND CHANCE.
Each and every member of this organization warmly welcomed me. Introduced me to other
women in that area I started going to coffee mornings every Wednesday and made new
friends. I also attended different events arranged by this organization which helped to increase
my knowledge about domestic violence and how to come out of this trauma. I then started to
work with this organization as a volunteer, which was best decision I made. They all helped
me grow increased my confidence each time I felt emotionally down they offered support,
advice and helped whenever I felt lonely and had court hearings. My circle of friends increased
through Second Chance. The time passed quicker and things became easier with their help.
It’s been 12 months now and I’m settled and a completely different person much stronger feel
happy helping others in situations that I was in once. Working for SECOND CHANCE gives me
inner happiness and strength. I am so lucky to be a part ofthis team.
Second Chance helped me be secure and safe and to move on in life.
THANK YOU.

Financial Report
Summary of financial performance
This is the first ear the Charity is reporting its financial performance and there is no comparable
information available. The charity does not operate any commercial enterprises and all its
fundraising activities and payments are on cash basis.
The income and expenditure report below shows that the overall financial performance of the
charity for the year ending December 2015 was healthy with a surplus of £4,047.38. However,
the supporting breakdown of monthly cash flow operations show that the Charity faced financial
challenges in some months, recording deficits in April, June, September and October.
Operations were not significantly affected because the cumulative cash balances were
adequate to cover the deficits throughout the year as a result of the £4,100 unrestricted
donation received atthe beginning ofthe year.
Plans for the Future
Funding will remain one of our biggest challenges, this year we plan to work hard and we have
reviewed our fundraising strategy in order to generate much needed income and achieve
sustainable financial growth.
We plan to engage the services of a financial consultant to help us strategize and carryout
activities for generating funds. We hope we would be able to get a Consultant on a volunteer
basis or for a small allowance. He/she will also be responsible for financial planning, helping us
to forecast appropriate levels of funding required in relation to our planned activities and for
strategizing, ensuring that we maximize collections.
We intend to maintain our existing range of community fundraising activities because they have
been proved popular while widening our income generating projects taking into account our
assessment of the community needs. We also hope as the community becomes more aware
of our services, some will committo giving regular donations to the cause.
There are opportunities for accessing grants that are readily available to finance community
activities. With the help of the consultant we hope to actively apply for relevant grants to
finance some ofthe activities we plan to carryout.

Special thanks to a 6-year old boy
Second Chance is hugely grateful for all donations received from generous members of the
community. We would like to say a special thank you to a generous and kind hearted 6-year-
old boy whose mother wishes him to remain anonymous.
During our Fundraising Dinner held on 11 July 2015 this six-year-old boy was so inspired by
our appeal to raise funds in order to continue to provide activities and services for the
community. He pledged to collect money to give to our charity with devotion. He started by
putting all his pocket money into his money box, everything went in, he spared nothing, even
the money he received as a gift to celebrate the religious holiday. He then decided to make
homemade cakes and sell them at his school to collect money for our charity. He talked to his
teachers and they all got together along with other parents who also participated by bringing
food. Everybody got together to support the young six-year-old. This young boy brought the
community together to work together for a good cause. Through his hard work and devotion,
he managed to collect£400 pounds for Second Chance.
We are so proud of this little gem and really grateful. We hope his actions really encourages
others to give and feel inspired by his actions. We all want to raise respectful and kind children
especially those who are willing to help those in need. We should all try to instil the idea of
helping others and doing charity work in our children from a young age. It teaches kindness,
sharing, compassion and empathy. It makes children more aware of the world and teaches to
care for those less fortunate than themselves. The knowledge and understanding of helping
others will stay with them throughout their whole lives. Children (and their parents) should
realize that a little help can go a long way, whether you are talking about donating money or
volunteering time. If we all do our part, even in a small way, it can make a huge impact.
