## _**Public benefit**_
1. The Wales Sanctuary Service (WSS). This Welsh Government funded project aims to help asylum seekers and refugees navigate their way in Wales. We hold monthly advocacy forums for asylum seekers and refugees to come together to discuss issues with representatives from areas such as education, housing, and hate crime. We also provide free corporate awareness raising sessions to institutions such as NHS departments, universities, and colleges. Our advocacy forums enabled approx. 287 refugees and asylum seekers to articulate their needs and aspirations.
2. Children and Young Persons’ project. This BBC Children in Need funded project aims to help children have more fun, improve their sense of emotional wellbeing and make stronger connections with others. We run an ongoing programme of weekly social, fun and interactive activities for refugee and asylum-seeking children and young people living in Cardiff, under the age of 18 years.
3. St David’s Uniting Church Education & Wellbeing Fund. Thanks to the generosity of the Church Members, we are able to give small grants to displaced people to support education, health and wellbeing. This could include travel expenses or food vouchers.
4. Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (VPRS)/The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS). We support families who have been re-homed from Syria and various other countries to West Gwent as part of the UK Government’s Resettlement Scheme.
5. Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy. In 2021 our resettlement work in West Gwent expanded with the arrival of people from Afghanistan, this continued to 2022 and into 2023.
6. Following of the arrival of Ukrainian refugees in Wales our work in West Gwent further expanded to cover the Homes for Ukraine scheme. We supported approx. 222 Ukranian people.
7. Wales Asylum seeking and Refugee Doctors (WARD). The charity runs a group for doctors to validate their medical qualifications in conjunction with Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) and the Welsh Government. Classes are provided, to improve language skills to the level required to pass the OET or IELTS examination and the opportunities and support required to study and pass the clinical examinations required by the GMC for registration as a doctor to work in the UK. In 2022 we gained 50 new members, one doctor passed IELTS (International English Language Testing System), five passed OET (Occupational English Test), four passed PLAB1 (Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board), and two passed PLAB2 exams. Three WARD doctors received their GMC registration in this year.
8. Shaping My Future Project (SMF) which is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund supported 64 asylum seekers and refugees in 2022. This new project helps asylum seekers and refugees to improve their knowledge of UK culture and learn more about navigating NHS services.
## Outcomes
Awareness training helps public services to understand the needs of the displaced people in Wales, enabling them to adapt public services such as health to meet those needs. Wales’ Chief Nurse has committed to making changes so that Sanctuary Seekers are better served by NHS Wales.
The WARD group has helped over 132 doctors to join the GMC, the vast majority 116 of whom are currently working in the NHS across the UK. 27 of WARD group members currently work as consultants or general practitioners.
The children and Young Persons Project helped 151 young people in 2022 to make friends with their peers and to help them out of isolation, increasing sense of happiness. We had a lot of fun.
Our Resettlement work enabled approx. 315 refugees in 2022 from Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine to establish themselves, integrate and navigate British systems quickly to find education and work and to increase self-sufficiency. Families tell us how much our work is valued.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Achievements and performance**
The arrival of the pandemic in 2020 challenged the way we worked, which had been almost all face to face. We needed to find ways of remote working and to fund raise to ensure Sanctuary Seekers had devices to access health advice and education and stay connected with family and friends.
We quickly adapted and made sure that everyone we supported could still benefit from our work.
The sudden arrival of hundreds of Afghan people in 2021 and then of people from Ukraine in 2022 greatly expanded the number of people needing our services and required us to adopt innovative approaches owing to their different circumstances and needs.
DPIA responded well to the challenges, thanks to staff development and a group of dedicated staff. We now have more flexible ways of working. Our staff and service users are more IT literate so we can choose to work and meet in person or online. This has brought more people into our orbit, particularly from outside South East Wales.
We changed our Accountants and our accountancy package and have a new Treasurer and finance officer. A more streamlined approach means the Board has better visibility of our financial position.
An improved bidding process means we can now bid for a wider range of activities and have had a good success rate with our bids.
We feel our organisation is more efficient and professional, while retaining our values of empathy and compassion, coupled with a clear focus on assisting those seeking sanctuary to build their confidence, integrate as smoothly as possible and become more self-sufficient in their new life in Wales.
These improvements mean we are now delivering a wider range of services to more individuals and families than ever before. We have more staff than before, with greater diversity on our Board and in our staff team. Our stronger financial position means we are well placed to respond to the needs of Sanctuary Seekers whatever they may be.
## **Acknowledgements**
DPIA is very proud of the work we do to support Asylum Seekers and Refugees to settle in Wales, make friends, learn, work, and participate in community and public life.
Wales welcomes Sanctuary Seekers and benefits greatly from the contribution they make. But some of our systems can be difficult to navigate, public services do not always meet the needs of Sanctuary Seekers and sadly prejudice, and hostility is still far too common. The work DPIA does enables Asylum Seekers and Refugees to find their way to the services they need and to find help when things go wrong. People are able to integrate, find their feet and build new lives more easily and more quickly because of our projects. DPIA’s work is only possible because of our Funders and Supporters. Some have supported us consistently for over 20 years, others joined us much more recently. The time, expertise and money contributed by Government, public service, big companies, and individual donors make a massive difference to people’s lives, to their health and happiness. We thank all our funders and supporters. Their contributions make Wales a better place. Thank you all.
## **Financial review**
The resignation of the Finance Officer and the aftermath of the pandemic made this a challenging year. However, with the expert help of agency staff, we managed to get the financial management back on track and improve the cash flow situation – particularly by streamlining the invoicing process. As a result, DPIA was in a much stronger financial position at the end of the year.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
DPIA's policy is that reserves should equal three months' worth of expenditure.

## _**Principal risks and uncertainties**_
## _Financial risks_
As reported previously, a sizeable amount of DPIA’s income comes from the Resettlement Programme. The programme is designed so that support will steadily decline until such a point that the supported families can live independently. The financial model that was used to determine the cost at which the charity could provide the service (and gain a surplus) is cost per ‘hour’ or ‘unit’ of service provided. Whilst support declines, so does unrestricted income. In the medium term the expansion of the programme in West Gwent to Ukrainian refugees has minimized the risk of income loss from this source.
Other financial risks to the charity: third sector funding remains precarious; funders are increasingly less willing to contribute to core costs, making pursuit of such funding more difficult; as predicted, inflation and the cost of energy put extra pressure on DPIA this year.
## **Funds**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

## **Displaced People in Action Ltd**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Displaced People in Action Ltd 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". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
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.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Displaced People in Action Ltd ('the Company')**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Displaced People in Action Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters 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.

......................................... James Stewart Trustee
The notes on pages 11 to 21 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 10
## **Displaced People in Action Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **1 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**
Displaced People in Action Ltd 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.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**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.
Page 11
## **Displaced People in Action Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **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.
## _**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.
## **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, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **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 Depreciation method and rate** Office equipment 25% on a straight line basis
## **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**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Page 12
## **Displaced People in Action Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022**
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
