Docusign Envelope ID: OC6E82D1-C07B457C-A660-F2763FFA25D7 Rlsk Management The Management Committee continually reviews the major risks to which ASAP is exposed. A risk register is reviewed quarterfy and shows that appropriale systems have been eslablished by ASAP to protect itself from a variety of risks. These include policies and procedures, such as Data Protection Policy. Equal Opportunities Policy, Health and Safety Policy, Confidentiality Policy, insurance cover, Systems of stsff supenfision and appraisals. and regular moniloring system5. ASAP considers at each bimonthly trustee meeting whether ASAP is a going concern, having first reviewed 12 month Ga5h forecasts, and the risks highlighled in the register. Where the risks can be mitigated further, the staff members and Trustees take steps to address them in orderto manage ASAP'S risks. The most significant rlsks that we see as faclng the charitable company are: With charities of our size there is a rfsk of not being able to find adequale funding sources to manlain our objectives in the future. This is compounded by the cost of living increases and ongoing changes to our service requirements. We mitigate against this risk through a regularly updated fundraising strategy, 12 month cash flow forecast and close monitoring of income and expenditure, including a risk adjustmenl when forecasting budgeted income, to identify and address funding gaps well ahead oftime. New immigration policies proposed by the Home Office and lack of access to advice on asylum support appeals around the UK. reduce the numbèr of destitute people seeking asylum who are able to appeal. We researched barriers in accessing advice, and are working to influence the Home Office's AIRE contract which funds advice on asylum support. We are also developing an expanded service model to increase access to advice around the UK. Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit The Trustees have had due regard to the Chartty commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the chaiitable Company's work and planning for its fulure work, and ensured that the work will contribute to ils aims and objectives.

ASAP reviews ils objectives. activities, outputs and outcomes regularly through monitoring, and uses its slrategic and operational plan to monitor its progress. Fundraising ASAP does not undertake material fund-raising activities from the general public. We do not sub-contract other entities to act on our behalf to fundraise. Related parties ASAP has no related parties belween itsetf and any other chatities or organisations with which it cooperates in the pursuit of its charitable objectives.

Docusign Envelope ID.. OC6E82D1_C07B.457C_A660_F2763FFA25D7 Achlevements and Perfomiance Overview The Asylum Support Appeals Projecl {ASAP) is a small nalional charity working to reduce destitution of asylum seekers by defending their legal right to food and shelter. We do this by.. Providing free legal advice and representation at for people seeking asylum who have been refvsed support or had their support discontinued bythe Home Office., Running a second tier advice line, an online network of advisors, and training on asylum support law and asylum support appeals- and Engaging in policy, advocacy and litigation work to challenge unlawful and unjust policies and procedures on asylum support. Key targets and achievements against these objectives for 2023-24 ASAP represented or advised 286 people in relation to Iheir appeal al the asylum support Iribunal (at least 373 including family members). This is slightly more than the previous year. We represented 650/0 of all appeals where itwas possible for us to do so. Ofthose we assisted, a very high 730A resulted in access to asylum support. ASAP answered 760 calls on our advice line (20 % increase from last year and far exceeding our target of 600) from 181 different organisations and 87 individuals within the asylum system. ASAP trained 2304 advisors from 264 organisations. more than ten times our target of training 200 advisors. ASAP worked to achieve change to unlawful and unjust Horne Officè policies.we and others SUCGessfully advocated for the Home Office to support people impacted by the Illegal Migration Act, and to give pregnant women and young children nutritional support following reports of malnourishment due to poor quality food in hotels. In August 23, Ihe Home Office started to evict people granted refugee stalus after only 7 days. Working with partners we persuaded the Home Office to revert to 28 days, reducing the significant levels of homelessness this had caused. We represented a lead case at the Tribunal, successfully advocating that the Tribunal should be able to reinstate support if someone had reason for refusing to be accommodated on a barge. Legal Representation Free legal representstion and speGialist legal advi￿ is provided through a duty scheme, for people seeking asylum who have asylum support appeal h&arings at the First-Tier Tribunal (Asylum Support) in East India Docks, London. Because there is no public funding available for these appeals outside Scotland (and Scottish lawyers often lack capacity to pick up appeals), the vast majority of appellants do not have legal representatives to argue their case. ASAP 18 the only organisation which provide8 regular legal representation for asylum support appeal hearings. The service is open to all people with appeals at the tribunal. Where there is limited capacity priority is given on the basis of level of vulnerability andlor complexity of case. During 2023-24 ASAP provided assistance in occasional remole telephone or video appeals alongside written representations and in-person hearings. The duty scheme provide5 free legal representation 5 days per week. In 2023124 we received 420 referrals from 108 organisations across the UK. In addition there were 227 self-referrals, a third of the total, and much higher than in previous years. reflecting the difficulty people find in ac￿ssIng assistance locally now that the Home Office accommodates people in remote areas. Overall. we supported 286 appellants al the tribunal (373 including family members). This is 65/0 of those we had permission to assist. A very high 730/0 of those we assisted became eligible for support following our assistance. With the inclusion of dependanls of appellants, this means that a total of 186 people either retsined their pre- existing support or gained ac￿$$ to support, instead of facing destitution.

Section 95 support is for people with ongoing asylum claims. The Home Office typically focus on whether someone meets the legal test for destitution, assessing whether they believe the person could access any other form of accommodation or financial support. The proportion of appeals relating to section 4 support was 550A overall. Section 4 support is accommodalion and financial support for some categories of people who have been refused asylum and are unable to leave the UK. The overall number of appeals was low across the year. The proportion of people appealing a refusal of section 4 support reduced from 41 D/• in 2019120 to just 10 % in 2023. This year we commissioned research into the reasons for this drop, so thal we could understand why people were not appealing and consider what we could do to ensure people are able to access justice, and the housing and finanoial support they need. Feedback from people we répresented showed that they overwhelmingly value the support and advice of ASAP at appeal. 20°/0 of those we represented gave us feedback, 100% was positive. Commenls included.. o 'They have give me hope and tnjst. which i had none left, o All the procedures were done in the best possible way.

This is so that asylum seekers can receive high quality advice about asylum support in the local organisation to which they have access.

We trained 566 people through live webinars and online meetings, 464 through pre-recorded webinars, and 1274 people vie e-leaming. We trained 78 people via a partnership training programme for public sector workers in social care, health care, housing and schooling. We prodU￿d a new e-leaming course on 'Domestic Abuse, to assist people experiencing domestiG abusè within the asylum system to access funded refuge spaces. This became our second most used e-learning course with 85 advisors completing it in the first 3 months. We trained 39 advisors in Women'5 Aid on domestic abuse.

ASAN members use it to exchange useful infomialion and case-working tiPS- this year key topics included the Illegal MigratlDn Act, inappropriate 8ccommodation on Ihe Bibby Slockholm bargel in ministry of defence sites, and Horne Office data errors which led to a high number of people having their asylum claims wrongly wrthdrawn and being evicted.

Docusign Envdope ID.. OC6E82D1-C07B.457C-A660-F2763FFA25D7 Policy, Advocacy and Litigatlon Work As part of ASAP'S policy and advocacy strategy we identified 5 key areas to direct our policy work for 2023-24: Ensuring that the new Home OffiGe guidance on domestic abuse is implemented effectivety Ensuring that asylum support continues to be provided under Illegal Migralion Act Understanding why asylum support appeal levels have dropped Invesligating the legality of the AIRE contract and whelher it could be amended Holding the Home Office to lawful conduct and high stsndards in their decision making Ensuring that appeals are run in a fair way Our policy and advocacy work achleved the following in 2023124- Domestic Abuse- we persuade(I the Home offi￿ to dralt a new standard operating procedure to guide their staff on what they need to do to help people experiencing domestic abuse access refuge spaces. We amended the Home Office's new 'customer joumey map, which sets out what people can expect from the Home Office when they report domestic abuse. Illegal Migration Act - we worked in partnership lo persuade the Home Office to support people deemed 'inadmissible' under the Illegal Migration Act. as Ihey would otherwise be homeless despite being unable to leave the UK. We persuaded the Home Office to use exisling support mechanisms, rather than bringing in the Immigration Act 2016 provisions. which would Iransfer support for families refused asylum to Local Authorities. Malnutiition - we heard reports of women unable to breastfeed and children with stunted growth due to malnutrition in full board asylum accommodation. We advocated for this lo change and worked wilh lawyers on strategic litigation which led to the Home Office providing additional nutritional payments for women and children under 4 year5 old in full board housing. Asylum support rales- after many years of advocacy, Ihe Home Office finally agreed lo increase the level of payments for people in receipt of asylum support, including maternily payments and payments for pregnant women and young babies, which had not been increased for 20 years. Homelessness amongst refugees - we worked in partnership to highlight the spike in homelessness after the Home Office reduced the length of time given to people granted refugee status before they are evicted from asylum accommodation from 28 days to just 7 days, leaving them with insufficient time to transfer to Local Authority support. Following pressure from both the voluntary sector and Local Authorities, the Home Office agreed to revert to 28 days from September. Unsuitsble accommodation - we represented a lead case at the Tribunal. in which we successfully argued that the Tribunal should be able to reinstale support rf someone decided not to travel to accommodation on the barge because it was unsuitsble for them (eg they had a medical condition requiring them to live near a particular healthcare provider). Home Office dats errors resulting in eviclions - we prepared for a lead case at the Tribunal, advocating that if the Home Office sent an invitation to an asylum interview to the wrong address, withdrew the person's daim because they did not attend, and evicted them, the Tribunal should be able to reinstate their support where it was the Home Office's error. so they are not left homeless. Asylum support 'advice deserts, _ we commissioned research to identify the barriers people face in accessing advice on asylum support, and the reasons people are not appealing a housing refusal as often. We are using the findings to inform our own service expansion, and to advocate for changes to the Home Office's AIRE contract, which governs advice on asylum support.

OC6E82DI-C07B-457C-A660-F2763FFA2507 Flnancial Review Results The total net incoming resources for the year was £49,279 detsils of which are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 17. Total incoming resources for the year increased by 80/0 at £708,965 compared to £655,356 for 2022123 Total outgoing resources for the year in￿eased by 7Yo at £659,887 compared to £615,779 for 2022123 Grants for the following year in advance of the specified expenditure for whlch they were given were treated as deferred income, as set out in more detsil in Note 11 to Ihe accounts. Funds and Reserves The level of reseNes at 31 March 2024 were £446,142 (all unreslricted). In accordance with its draft updated rese￿e$ policy for 2025, ASAP aims to have an unrestricted general reserve of £419,514 10 cover a drop in income, unforeseen events andlor the costs of closure. The additional £26,628 will be retained unlil an updated reseNes policy is agreed in December 2025. The trustees have indicated that they are likely to designate any surplus towards expenditure for 2025126 to fund ASAP'S planned service developments, and to provide financial security given that a number of ASAP'S multi-year grants end in March 2025. The reserve5 policy is reviewed annually. This report reflects the period 1 st April 2023 to 31 st March 2024. We anticipate likely pressure on grants in coming years, as funders, overall levels of available grants reducè in line with the restrucling economy and increasing costs of living. Although a small proportion of ASAP'S income comes from individual donations, it is reasonable to assume that this may reduce. alongside income from training. Plans for Future Perlods As ASAP has developed financially, we have also expanded our remit within our charitable objectives and this is evident in our Strategic plan for 2019-2024. This coming year we will develop a new strategic plan for 2025-2030. We will expand our service in line with recommendations within our research on advice deserts, and seek to influence the AIRE contract to increase access to high quality advice on asylum support across the UK. We will press the Home Office to take steps to rectify their inaccurate addresses which result in the Home OfFice withdrawing people's asylum claims and evicting them because they have not replied to a letter the Home Office sent to the wrong address. We wlll consider how best to expand our second tier support further, for example increasing our advi￿ line coverage, starting face to face training in parts of the UK with less experience of support people in the asylum system. We will develop online tools to enable the increasing number of people who cannot access local advice to appeal against a refusal of housing or financial support. We will seek to persuade the Tribunal to change the way they list paper appeals as it currentty restricls people from accessing justice.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not 8 guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstaternent when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individualty or in the aggregate. they could reasonab5y be expected to inluence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial stalements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above. lo delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for Ihis engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecling irregularities. including fraud is detailed below.. Enquiry of management and Ihose charged wtth govemance about actual and potential litigation or claims and the identification of non-compliance with laws and regulations. Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance. Reviewing financial ststemenl disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Auditing the risk of managemenl override of conlrols, including testing journal entries and other adjustmenls for appropriateness., and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a polential bias. Perfomiing analytical procèdures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due lo fraud. Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas. Because of the inherent limitalions of an audit. there is a risk thal we will not detect all irregularities. including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from Ihe events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be le55 likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion, omission or misrepresentstion. A further description of our responsibililies for the audit of the financial 5taternents is located on the Financial Reporting Council's websiie at.. www.frc.org.ukjauditorsresponsibilities.
