REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

It was a year where we developed new ways of giving support to asylum seekers and refugees as Wales emerged from the Covid pandemic, delivering 5,700 sessions to clients speaking over 40 different languages and from 50 different nationalities. Our caseworkers provided both emotional and practical support with asylum seekers' applications and appeals to the Home Office.

Their work is ongoing and tireless, and I would like to give a special thanks to caseworkers for all that they do.

Our Annual Accounts has shown that our income has grown significantly to £1,627,719, with important contributions from Welsh Government grants and vital project funding from 20 charitable foundations and companies. This strong financial position is a tribute to the hard and very expert fundraising efforts and I would like to thank all involved.

The growing support and funding entrusted to the Welsh Refugee Council shows their recognition of the effectiveness of our organisation and our reputation for delivering and exceeding targets. We are known for our expertise in providing specialised advice, our understanding of the needs of asylum seekers and refugees, our collaborations with partners and leading role in the sector.

I am pleased to report that the Welsh Government awarded five-year funding for the WRC's Sanctuary Seeker's project with a budget of £355,000 a year. We were also able to respond quickly to the opportunity to provide free bus and rail tickets for asylum seekers through a £250,000 grant from Welsh Government, running a 3-month pilot in partnership with Oasis and EYST to deliver the project across the dispersal areas.

In Autumn 2021 we joined forces with England and Scottish Refugee Councils, to apply to the Times Christmas Appeal, resulting in £104,000 unrestricted income for WRC, as well as an improved profile.

This last year we have focussed on evolving our process's' further, to ensure we are continuing to be effective and make maximum use of all our resources. I would like to recognise the exceptional contribution that Andrea Cleaver's leadership has made to the charity's progress, together with the commitment of our Senior Management Team, active participation of staff and volunteers and strategic direction from trustees.

I was delighted to see we were awarded the nationally recognised Trusted Charity quality mark following an extensive external audit of our policies, management practice and governance. This is a significant achievement and we would like to thank all staff and volunteers for their dedication and active participation.

The Welsh Refugee Council is a very diverse organisation, benefiting from the experience and language skills of many people with lived experience of forced migration. We promote the principles of refugee integration and empowerment in all our work, providing enhanced English language support, training and peer support. One important development has been the Education and Employability Project, which, together with ESOL are key to long term integration. Our approach across all our projects has been developed by an understanding of psychologically informed environments, and the impact of trauma.

We are committed to involving refugees and asylum seekers in the design and operation of our services and are actively recruiting people with lived experience to the Board. We continued to work closely with BAWSO and Race Council Cymru to launch and deliver the Global Majority Fund giving out grants to Black, Asian, and Ethnic Communities across Wales. We listened to the needs of community groups and provided a programme of support to empower charity leaders.

It has been a year where we have been more assertive in our messaging, reaching many more people than ever before in social media and through our workshops raising awareness of Hate Crime.

Central to our work is the vision that sees asylum seekers as our potential future citizens, contributing to Wales, being able to rebuild their lives, learn new languages, live freely with family and community, and find employment. I'm proud to know that the Welsh Refugee Council has played a leading role in giving practical effect to this vision.

Every year we meet and advise many hundreds of people, who are facing challenges in housing, finance, health, education and finding work. At these moments of crisis, the Welsh Refugee Council has been there for them. This is what we are here to do. And we are more committed than ever to use our collective strength and experience, the funding we have been given and the charity's sense of purpose and continue to play this central role in Wales.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Financial position

Incoming resources during 2021/22 amounted to £1,627,719 compared to £1,346,632 in 2020/21.

Resources expended increased to £1,384,744 in 2021/22 from £1,083,738 in 2020/21. This year saw a surplus of £242,975.

Bringing the total charity unrestricted reserves to a balance of £498,251 as at 31st March 2022.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with guidance by the Charity Commission and the Trustees have set the charity a provisional medium-term goal of increasing its freereserves to a level, which is sufficient to meet three month's expenditure. This will allow the strength of the charity and allow us to deal effectively with variable futures, which we are currently predicting, using scenario planning approaches. The present level of reserves is near to target and much depends on whether the charity can continue to secure public sector funding and additional income from other sources.

The charity services are in high demand, and it is important that fundraising and stewardship continue to be able to flex and adapt to emerging needs.

At the year end, the charity has accumulated unrestricted reserves of £498,251.

Designated funds comprise those funds which the Welsh Refugee Council may at its discretion set aside funds for specific purposes which would otherwise form part of the general unrestricted reserves.

The Trustees have specifically designated the funds held as a payroll deposit of £29,000 with their payroll providers. An amount of £34,421 from Oak discretionary payment is designated to an office refurbishment.

An amount of £25,233 from the Sunday Times donation and £62,651 are designated to essential recruitment in future financial years.

Financial and risk management objectives and policies

The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that appropriate systems of control, financial andotherwise, exist. 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.

Our Strategic Plan has allowed us to deepen our use of Risk Management focussing on both operational and Strategic risks. Risk register is discussed at relevant Senior Management Team Meetings and board meetings.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Welsh Refugee Council is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 2 July 2003 with a memorandum and articles of association, which were amended on 1 October 2004, 18 February 2005, 6 April 2005, 27 January 2010, 20 January 2016 and 30 March 2017. Prior to incorporation the Council had operated through a non-incorporated charitable association.

The Trustees consider that The Welsh Refugee Council has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future, and that, for this reason it should continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Board maintains broad representation across a wide range of disciplines and skills. In 2012/13 the Trustee Board reviewed its processes for application to the Trustee Board and these were adopted at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. All Trustees are appointed on a three yearly basis and a third of Trustees are appointed at each AGM.

All members are given advance notice of who is standing for appointment or reappointment at an AGM, along with any relevant information. Outside of an AGM, the trustees can appoint a person to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee (in this case the person can only hold office until the next AGM and must stand down, if he or she is not appointed at that AGM). This is done to maintain the diverse skills within the Board of Trustees. All officers e.g. Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer are elected for a period of one year at the first board meeting after the AGM.

All trustees, as well as attending the regular Board Meetings 6 times a year, also attend a Strategic Away Day which sets strategic priorities for the organisation for the following year. No Trustees receive any financial or other benefits for their role as Trustees.

Trustee Governance

Any new Trustee is interviewed and visits the organisation prior to, their formal agreement to be a Trustee and they receive induction including a range of background information on the charity and see the provision of its key services. All Trustees sign "the Seven Principles of Public Life. Trustees are asked to declare any conflict of interest at the start of every meeting and recorded in the minutes. All Trustees are familiar with the Charity Commission guidance 'the essential trustee'. The board of trustees reviewed different competencies and skills related to the governance of the organisation using Trusted Charity framework to drive forward this quality agenda and this approach will be of increasing importance over the next few years. In 2010/11 the Trustee Board set up two sub-committees of the Board (1) Finance and Resources and (2) a Strategic Committee. Both meet on a two to three monthly basis.

The organisation maintains a membership register which is updated regularly. Any application formembership is considered by the Trustees.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF WELSH REFUGEE COUNCIL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Welsh Refugee Council (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF WELSH REFUGEE COUNCIL

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 8

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF WELSH REFUGEE COUNCIL

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud.

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We discussed our audit independence complying with the Revised Ethical Standard 2019 with the engagement team members whilst planning the audit and continually monitored our independence throughout the process.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

Audit response to risks identified

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

Page 9

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF WELSH REFUGEE COUNCIL

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Where the capital expenditure is less than £1,000 the charity, has adopted the policy to charge the SOFA the cost of the assets purchased. All items over £1,000 are capitalised and depreciated over their useful economic life.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Designated funds comprise those funds which the Welsh Refugee Council may at its discretion set aside funds for specific purposes which would otherwise form part of the general unrestricted reserves. The Trustees have specifically designated the funds held as a payroll deposit of £29,000 with their payroll providers. An amount of £34,421 from Oak discretionary payment is designated to an office refurbishment. An amount of £25,233 from the Sunday Times donation and £62,651 are designated to essential recruitment in future financial years.

The designation reflects the intentions as to the future application of funds as at the balance sheet date and do not reflect an external transactions or present obligation to a third party.

The reserves are nominated free reserves.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Functional and Presentation Currency

The company's functional and presentation currency is pounds sterling.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Deferred Income

Deferred income represents invoices raised in the year for grants relating to future periods.

Employee Benefits

The costs of short term employee benefits are recongnised as a liability and an expense, unless these costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including bank loans, trade and other payables are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Significant management judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results in the future may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Company Status

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
