Yaran Northwest CIC was established to address the deep-rooted inequalities experienced by marginalised communities, particularly Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals, refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants across Greater Manchester. Our services are delivered in a culturally and linguistically sensitive manner in multiple community languages, including Farsi, Dari, Urdu, Arabic, Turkish, Kurdish, and English. During the financial year ending 31 October 2024, Yaran supported over 1000 individuals through a combination of trauma-informed one-to-one therapy, group counselling, art and movement-based recovery programmes, advocacy, and wellbeing workshops. We offered specialist sessions in creative therapies, energy advice, career support, and community-led sustainability initiatives. Our work empowered our community members, supported young people falling out of education, and enhanced community mental health. These services contributed significantly to improved emotional resilience, social connection, and pathways into employment and education. We maintained high professional standards through supervision for all therapists, many of whom are bilingual and members of professional bodies such as BACP.
Our stakeholders include service users, community members, staff, volunteers, partner organisations (e.g., NHS, councils, VCSE networks), and funders. We regularly consult stakeholders through: - Feedback forms after sessions and workshops - Monthly peer group consultations with service users - Quarterly staff and volunteer reflection sessions - Partnership meetings with local agencies As a result, we introduced more flexible session timings, expanded language-specific peer support groups, and enhanced further training for our therapist such as CBT Therapy for Childeren . Stakeholder feedback also led us to extend our sustainability projects and provide culturally and linguistically sensitive support for our service users.
The Directors receive no remuneration in return for the services as officers of the Company. Parvin Emampour, one of the Directors, receives remuneration for her involvement in counselling and related work. In the period under review she received £40,950 (2023: £35,500). Rokhsana Nowroozi Forooshani, receives remuneration for her involvement in counselling and related work. In the period under review she received £35,000 (2023: £25,440).
