Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. Page 2 ## **Asylum Link Merseyside** ## **Trustees' Report** ## **Trustees and officers** Trustees and officers bring with them particular skills and experience which are of great benefit to the charity. Board meetings are normally held every six to eight weeks and the work of the charity is further supported by the fundraising subgroup of Trustees who meet more regularly. Also small subgroups of trustees have been involved in various negotiations to obtain additional premises space for ALM, in undertaking staff reviews and helping with HR matters. ## **Objectives and activities** The objectives of ALM are: - the relief of refugees and asylum seekers in Merseyside and adjacent areas who are in conditions of need, hardship - a) or distress, particularly, but not exclusively through the provision of information, advice, guidance and assistance, - to advance the education of the public, other statutory and voluntary organisations, and asylum seekers in order to - b) assist their inclusion into the wider community. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## Review of developments ALM celebrates its 20th year in 2022 and it is testament to the drive enthusiasm and expertise of the Volunteers, Trustees, Staff, and Supporters that the organisation is still here. It also demonstrates the deficit in the Governments provision, that ALM is still a very necessary part of the sector in Liverpool. The Year began with all Covid statutory restrictions lifted, and with most of Asylum Links services freely available. Access to the casework team and clothes store was limited but only through a shortage of volunteers. This improved as the year progressed, but is still an issue on certain days. ALM has joined in campaigning against the new immigration bill and will continue this important activity into the future. This passed into Law and we are yet to see the full effects of what is now a two-tier asylum system, with decisions made based on the method of arrival rather than the background of a case. With the service returning to normal, we had time to address some of the things on the back burner. Plans for new ground floor and first floor toilets were enacted as well as work on the roof and guttering. This will be complete by December 2023. Future work includes a new Server and an upgraded Fire Detection System. The Action Asylum pilots, which started in 2019, received National Lottery Funding in 2021 and expanded from the initial cities of Liverpool, Sheffield, Stockton-on-Tees and Portsmouth, to include Leeds and Cardiff. These are programmes matching Asylum Seeker Volunteers to non-Asylum organisations like the North Wales Wildlife Trust, Marine Conservation Society, Canals and Rivers Trust or Green Sefton. ALM works with around 3,000 school children each year and, as an offshoot of the Action Asylum projects, matched local schools with Afghan Children in Liverpool Hotels through a PenPal project. This was a message from one of the Pupils. “Welcome to Liverpool, my new friend. I understand you might be anxious, worried. You may have mixed feelings but it’s OK here. We want you to be welcomed and feel safe.” One area of work with particular success has been with the Climbing Hangar, an indoor climbing centre, who have gone out of their way to make Refugees welcome, offering free sessions once a month with an alternative day for LGBTQI+ service users. This has been rolled out nationally in all their centres. Once again, the number of people in asylum support has risen, with a backlog of 127,000 people waiting for an initial decision or review of their case. This has jumped from 73,000 in the previous year and points to a Home Office that has ground to a halt with its decision making. What this means for Liverpool is the presence of more hotels, with two in use at the start of the year and another two added during the year. Initial accommodation is full and other hotels across the city region being brought into use to service the backlog. ALM is aware of the possibilities of tension in terms of the public and other stakeholders and in delivering its mission, will continue to mitigate, alleviate and challenge on behalf of our beneficiaries.

162,348| |||225,995| For the financial year ending 30 June 2022 the charity was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. Directors' responsibilities: - The members have not required the charity to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476; and - The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. The financial statements on pages 6 to 17 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 30 November 2022 and signed on their behalf by: ......................................... Denia Kincade Chairman The notes on pages 8 to 17 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 7 ## **Asylum Link Merseyside** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022** ## **1 Charity status** The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £5 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The address of its registered office is: ST ANNE'S CENTRE OVERBURY STREET LIVERPOOL MERSEYSIDE L7 3HJ These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 30 November 2022. ## **2 Accounting policies** ## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. ## **Basis of preparation** Asylum Link Merseyside meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the financial currency of the entity. ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. ## **Income and endowments** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. ## _**Donations and legacies**_ Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. ## _**Grants receivable**_ Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. Page 8 ## **Asylum Link Merseyside** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022** ## _**Donated services and facilities**_ Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. ## _**Gift aid**_ Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate. ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Raising funds**_ Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## _**Other expenditure**_ Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. ## **Governance costs** These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, indemnity insurance, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. ## **Depreciation and amortisation** Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: Page 9 ## **Asylum Link Merseyside** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022** ## **Asset class** Furniture Office equipment ## **Depreciation method and rate** 25% reducing balance 30% reducing balance ## **Trade debtors** Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. ## **Fund structure** The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purpose. There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds. Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances Page 10 ## **Asylum Link Merseyside** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022** ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** |Donations and legacies;
