OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity is established for charitable purposes and the objects of the Charity are:-
To promote, provide for and encourage the benefits of the inhabitants of Birmingham particular but not exclusively those inhabitants from the Bangladeshi community, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
BCD has plans to expand on these activities to cater for the needs of the community and create a better society. Funding has been a constraint in past few years and the organisation hopes to be able to secure further funding in the coming year to carry out its objects.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended. At this level, the management committee feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in the funding. At present the free reserves do not reach this target level and the trustees are looking at various options to improve this situation.
The management committee meets every Tuesday to review the activities and finances of the charity.
Total incoming resources for the period amounted to £ Nil (2025: Nil) with neither a gain or deficit (2024: Nil) at the year end.
FUTURE PLANS
BCD plans to continue with its activities and provide additional services subject to obtaining further funding as required.
