Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Asylum Link Merseyside for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
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.

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 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 or distress,
-
a) 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 assist their
-
b) 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.
Annual Report July 2024 to June 2025
Asylum Link Merseyside (ALM) exists to provide practical support, friendship and advocacy to asylum seekers and refugees, while also working to educate the wider public and promote community cohesion. The period from July 2024 to June 2025 was one of the most challenging in the charity’s recent history, marked by heightened political tension, significant operational pressures, and rising demand for services.
Throughout the year, ALM responded to a rapidly changing asylum system. The Home Office’s acceleration of decision-making led to people exiting the asylum system more quickly than ever before, often without adequate housing, legal advice or support. This placed considerable strain on frontline services, with increased risk of destitution and street homelessness. At the same time, tribunal backlogs created uncertainty for refused applicants, prolonging periods of limbo and distress.
These pressures were compounded by serious security challenges during the summer of 2024, when far-right activity targeted refugee organisations nationally. ALM took extensive steps to protect service users, staff and volunteers, including temporary closure, remote working arrangements, and the introduction of new security measures. With strong support from partners, local residents and the wider community, the centre was ultimately protected without incident. The visible public solidarity shown at this time reaffirmed the value of ALM’s work within Liverpool and beyond.
Despite these challenges, ALM continued to deliver a wide range of essential services. During the year, 909 people accessed casework support across 3,388 sessions, with 707 new clients presenting. The casework team supported individuals with asylum support applications, appeals, further submissions, access to healthcare and emergency destitution assistance. Success rates for asylum support appeals remained high, reducing the risk of homelessness for many clients. The year also saw a continued increase in complex and further submissions work, reflecting both the changing asylum system and the severe shortage of regulated immigration advisers nationally.
Demand for basic needs support remained consistently high. 2,015 people accessed the clothing store across 2,291 visits, while 111 people received support through the food store, with 1,172 weekly food parcels distributed. In addition, over 45,000 hot meals were served through the centre’s kitchen. These services provided a vital safety net for people facing prolonged poverty, insecure immigration status and barriers to mainstream support.
A difficult decision was taken during the period to close the remaining Destitution house. Rising costs and a fall in income, made retention of the house no longer viable. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the Parish of St Michael’s for all their support with this across many years.
Education and wellbeing activities continued to form the backbone of ALM’s approach to integration and community building. 243 people enrolled in English language classes, with up to 70 places available weekly. A large number of service users took part in the extensive wellbeing and social activities, including choirs, allotment work, walking and cycling groups, arts activities and theatre projects, all of which play a crucial role in reducing isolation, improving mental health and fostering a sense of belonging.
Health outreach expanded further during the year, with ALM functioning increasingly as a community health gateway. NHS partners delivered in-reach services including dental care, sexual health services, TB testing, liver screening and cancer awareness, reaching 290 people directly. The charity also continued to administer Alexandra Rose vouchers, improving access to fresh fruit and vegetables for pregnant women and families with young children.

Trustees' Report
ALM’s work on community cohesion and public education gained increased prominence during the year. Through media engagement, training sessions for universities and schools, and an expanded social media presence, the charity sought to challenge misinformation and hostility towards asylum seekers. Cultural projects such as the community choir, Afloat Theatre Group, and Cook Against Racism programme played a key role in promoting positive narratives and shared understanding. A special mention goes to Nordoff and Robbins for the music therapy sessions which ran at ALM for the past two years but have now ceased with the end of their funding stream.
The national Action Asylum programme, coordinated at ALM, continued to grow and demonstrated the power of community-based activity to support wellbeing, integration and mutual understanding. The project worked across multiple UK cities and laid the groundwork for further expansion.
Internally, the year prompted reflection and organisational change. A prolonged staff illness required temporary cover and highlighted the need for greater organisational resilience. As a result, ALM committed to restructuring its senior management, recruiting a new Chief Executive Officer, retaining additional staff capacity, and creating a new post focused on fundraising.
In conclusion, the period was one of exceptional challenge, but also of resilience, growth and reaffirmed purpose. Demand for ALM’s services remains high, driven by systemic pressures within the asylum system and broader social tensions. Nevertheless, the charity ended the year having supported thousands of people with dignity and compassion, strengthened community relationships, and laid important foundations for future sustainability and impact.
Once again we would like to thank our partners and supporters, especially those onsite partners the GMIAU and MRSN, for their ongoing presence and assistance, making the St Anne’s Centre one of the most useful places for Asylum Seekers in the North West.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
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 6 January 2026.
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.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
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.

Asylum Link Merseyside
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
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:
Asset class Furniture Office equipment
Depreciation method and rate 25% reducing balance 30% reducing balance

Asylum Link Merseyside
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
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
