## **SALUSBURY WORLD** 

## **Trustees'  Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## Governing Document 

Salusbury World is a registered charity governed by its Trust Deed dated 13 July 1998 

## Recruitment & Appointment of Trustees 

The trustees and directors who have served throughout the year are shown on page 1. Appointment of directors/trustees is governed by the Trust Deed. 

New trustees are required to go through the same safe recruitment procedures as paid members of staff. New trustees are given induction and information regarding their legal obligations under charity law, the decision making process, the business plan, and recent performance of the charity. All undergo an enhanced check by the Disclosure and Barring Service and receive training in safeguarding and child protection. 

The board of trustees aims to represent a range of skills and background, including: education, parents of children who attend or used to attend Salusbury School Primary School, finance & business professionals. 

## Organisational Structure 

The charity is organized so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. 

## Risk Management 

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at the current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. 

## Subcommittees 

Trustees run four subcommittees as part of this strategy: 

•Finance 

- •Fundraising 

- •Communica�on 

- •Governance 

## Related parties 

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit in their capacity as trustees of the charity. Any connection between a trustee of the charity and organisations providing services to the charity must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported. 

## **Purpose and objectives** 

The charity's objects are to advance education, relieve poverty, distress, and suffering; preserve and protect physical, emotional or mental health by appropriate charitable education, rehabilitative, financial and other assistance. 

In prioritising the objects of the charity trustees have a due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Activities 2023/24** 

## Salusbury World’s aim is that _**refugees, migrants and asylum seekers who seek our help will have the ability and confidence to navigate and succeed in society, feel supported and hopeful for the future.**_ 

## **Our work in 2023/24 included:** 

· An accredited advice and advocacy service which provides help at critical moments, and ongoing support, to ensure that families receive the benefits and immigration rights to which they’re entitled, and have an understanding of those systems so that they can navigate them independently in the future. 

· A women’s project, including English language classes to enable them to improve their language skills and thus their ability to manage their affairs, to support their children in school, and to seek employment. 

· Social and cultural activities for children and adults, including creative writing and music projects which help build friendships, confidence and a sense of belonging. 

· One-to-one educational mentoring for teenagers - we pair teenagers who are new to school in London, with a trained volunteer who helps them with homework once a week. The young people grow in confidence and feel more settled in school.

## **SALUSBURY WORLD** 

## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## **Our work includes (continued)** 

· After-school and holiday clubs – providing children with a safe space to play and to develop friendships and confidence. 

· Volunteering experience – teenagers and adults assist us with our activities for younger children and gain confidence and useful experience for job and college applications. 

In **2023/24** we worked directly with **488** people.  Additionally, we facilitated connections for a music project, reaching **90** children. 

In March 2023, trustees were concerned at the in-year deficit and agreed on a six-month strategy to improve the charity’s financial position. 

A review of progress in August 2023 recognised that insufficient funds had been raised to secure all projects. Following the charity’s risk management procedures, trustees agreed to: 

·         Issue redundancy notices to all staff working on projects without at least one year of grant funding remaining 

·         Begin an emergency fundraising campaign 

The emergency fundraising campaign raised over £26000 + Gift Aid. However, this was insufficient to retain all staff. 

Redundancies were carried out in December 2023, retaining & protecting the Advice Project and the Women’s Project. 

Some staff who were made redundant returned as volunteers in January 2024 to work with trustees and The Fair Collective on developing a strategy to rebuild services cautiously. 

The board recognised that a significant time commitment would be required for this and some members felt their external commitments were too great and it would be a good time to recruit new members. 

## Three stepped down during spring 2024 and seven new trustees were recruited. 

At the time of writing a number of new grants have been secured and some core staff have been re-engaged on part-time, shortterm contracts. 

**ADULT SERVICES.** (Total staffing 2.0 FTE, rising to 2.6 FTE in June 2024) 

**Advice and Advocacy** . (Staffing 1.4 FTE, rising to 2.0 FTE in June 2024) 

Our advice project provides help at critical moments, and ongoing support. 

We ensure that refugees and asylum-seekers receive the benefits and immigration rights to which they’re entitled and have an understanding of those systems so that they can navigate them independently in the future. 

The demand for free, specialist advice for new migrants far outstrips supply in London. The people who come to us for help are often in despair. In February 2023, for the first time ever, we closed our doors to new clients because our advisors were overwhelmed by demand. 

Local advice organisations and the 10 partners funded by the GLA’s ‘Advice in Community Settings’ project all reported significant increases in the complexity of issues experienced by advice-seekers. 

In 2023/24, our team supported **216** individuals ( **1014** appointments), 53% of these required an interpreter. 

Using a conservative calculator of 3 members in each family, we estimate that **648** people will have been directly impacted by this advice. 

Total won £78,000 challenging entitlements and repayment of fees - individuals and families received payments ranging from £32,000 to £150 

We secured an increase in monthly income ranging from £150 to £1012 for 33 families and individuals. (We have not included all the Universal credit applications in this calculation) 

In March 2024, we upgraded our immigration accreditation with the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner (OISC) to Level 2 (Asylum & Protection).

## **SALUSBURY WORLD Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## **ADULT SERVICES.** (continued) 

## **Clients receive the advice and support they need** 

216 people received expert advice enabling them to claim their rightful entitlements in areas such as housing, benefits and immigration. 

- _We supported 95 families who were homeless or threatened with homelessness, to find a secure home_ 

_- We helped 49 people to receive Universal Credit for the first time or at the correct level_ 

- _87 people were helped to obtain travel documents, citizenship or Biometric Residence Permits, Indefinite Leave to Remain or Family reunion visas that they needed to move on with their lives in the UK_ 

- _We supported 55 people to claim the disability benefits to which they were entitled_ 

## **Success at appeals** 

2 x tribunal appeals attended - 2 successful 

6 x Mandatory Reconsiderations submitted - 6 successful 

**Clients report that they have greater confidence to deal with their benefit and housing entitlements themselves, going forward, and that they feel hopeful for their future in the UK** 

·         100% of clients when asked, report that they have greater confidence to deal with their benefit and housing entitlements either by themselves or to at least give it a try initially. 

- 96% of clients questioned report that they feel more hopeful for the future after seeing Salusbury World caseworkers. 

## **Clients who are supported to make successful applications for employment or to further/higher education** 

We have referred 16 clients for educational support e.g. to Breaking Barriers, ELATT, REUK 

## Clients said: 

Believe me, I have never seen anyone as experienced and knowledgeable as you. To be aware of all government systems and departments. You are truly unique. 

Partner organisations said: 

_‘Thank God for you and your team’_ (Advisor, Freedom from Torture) 

_The work you do is fantastic! (solicitor)_ 

## **Women’s Project. (staffing 0.6 FTE)** 

The refugee and migrant women who join our project develop the fluency and confidence in English to manage independently and confidently in their everyday lives in London. They make friends and feel less isolated. 

We provide free, flexible and accessible English classes at local Family Wellbeing Centres (where free childcare is available). Our curriculum is determined by the women and the issues and concerns affecting their daily lives. The lesson content emerges through discussion, with the class often offering peer advice from shared experience. 

In addition to this, our partnerships have enabled us to offer a variety of trips, workshops and a monthly film club (with the Lexi Cinema). 

In 2023/24 56 women (from 17 different countries) joined the project. 

## Additional activities: 

Drama workshops (Natasha Stanic), Brent Talking Therapies workshops (‘PTSD’, ‘Mindfulness’, ‘Managing Stress’, ‘Looking after your Mental Health’), annual picnic, library visits). 

A bespoke workshop with **Jacqui Ramrayka** (Artist in Residence at the Victoria & Albert Museum) is scheduled for June 2024.

## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## **Holiday Programmes for Young People (until end August 2023)** 

The children and teenagers who came to our holiday clubs grew in confidence and self-esteem, develop friendships and become less socially isolated. 

**120** children and young people took part in our clubs which ran at Easter, May half term and during the summer break in 2023. 

Young people were able to try all sorts of activities such as black smithing, kayaking, music,  raft-building, Forest schools & circus skills. 

Our long-term partnership with **Create** gave opportunities for photography & jewellery-making We also made time to just hang out and play. 

We asked the participants what they thought at the end of every day, here is their feedback: 

_‘My mum, sister & me are now living in a hotel in one room in High Wycombe. If I wasn’t here I’d be stuck in a room all day’_ 

Blacksmith visit: _‘I’ve seen this in Syria. My uncle is a Blacksmith in Egypt. Thank you for giving me a new experience, it was very interesting. I learnt a new skill!’_ 

## Impact: 

**97%** of participants enjoyed the club’s activities. 

**86%** of participants felt more connected after attending the club 

## **Children aged 5-11.** 

Our after-school sessions (running until December 2023) combined play with one-to-one EAL (English as an Additional Language) support. 

The club aimed to increase confidence and help children thrive in school. 

Many of this year’s participants were new to the UK and to English. 

Children struggled with homework that damaged their confidence rather than developed it. 

To thrive, children need to feel happy, build confidence, make friends and through this improve their language skills. Play. 

The club took place at the Granville Family Wellbeing Centre. 

Staff and volunteers supported children one-to-one with English and in small groups for games and creative activities. 

There were also daily park visits. 

**24** children attended the club between September & December 2023. 

## Children and parents said: 

_“My child feels safe, relaxed and happy.”_ 

_Kayaking: It's fun. I felt excited._ 

_I like the swimming. I enjoyed the challenge of keeping the boat in a straight line. It's kind of relaxing._ 

_Very fun, love to do it again. I got bumped into._ 

_It's horrible, I'm so numb and cold. I got so wrinkly!_ 

_F. said to her dad with a big smile when he came to pick her up, " I jumped into the water 10 times!"_

## **SALUSBURY WORLD Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## Harmonise 

In April 2023 we supported Music Action International to broker relationships with two schools to enable 90 children to participate in their ten-week Harmonise programme. 

Groups from: 

- Kilburn Grange Primary School (year 3) 

- Gladstone Park Primary School (year 5, 2 classes) 

This culminated in another great performance 

We are completely indebted to the volunteers (including trustees past and present) who made it possible to deliver these services. Their commitment, expertise, generosity, and humour are unrivalled. 

We are also indebted to the remarkable organisations and individuals with whom we partner to extend the range and quality of activities we are able to offer. 

In 2023/2024 our especial thanks go to **the Lexi Cinema, Create, Jacqui Ramrayka & the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Kiln Theatre, the Heritage of London Trust (Proud Places), Natasha Stanic, Music Action International, Brent Talking Therapies and Brent Family Wellbeing Centres**

## **Priorities for 2024/2025** 

The new board of trustees is optimistic that the foundations have been laid for a sustainable future but there is still much work to be done. 

## **Key areas of work** 

- Development of short- & long-term organisational plan 

- Improved financial information & planning 

- Fundraising & communication strategy 

- Diversification of income sources

## **SALUSBURY WORLD** 

## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued)** 

## **Financial review for the year** 

Total income for the year amounted to £255,467 with total expenditure of £312,234, resulting in a deficit in the year of £56,767. 

Accumulated reserves at the balance sheet date amounted to £39,043, of which £38,143 represent income reserves. 

## **Investment powers and policy** 

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity's activities, have kept a proportion of available liquid funds in an interest bearing account to maximise the rate of return, although given current rates of interest the rate of return is minimal. The trustees will review the position and consider alternative investments to maximise returns but will continue with a risk averse policy. 

## **Reserves policy and going concern** 

The Trustees have undertaken a review of the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation, and the results for the year 2032/24. Current unrestricted reserves are £39,043 of which £38,143 are held in a designated staff reserve fund. Funding for next 12 months is anticipated to be in line with 2023/24 and this together with reserves held will be sufficient to ensure the charity continues its's activities at current levels for the following 12 months. 

## **Trustees responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Reporting Accountants** 

A resolution to re-appoint Liondaris & Co will be proposed at the AGM. 

By order of the board of trustees

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SALUSBURY WORLD** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Salusbury World (the charity), charity number 1071065, for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

- to follow the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 

- to follow the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians which is one of the listed bodies. 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe, that in any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records: or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set 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 matter 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.
