Displaced People in Action Ltd Trustees, Report Public benefit Displaced People in Action was sei up in 2001 and our values and goals have stood the test of time. We aim to help Refugees and Asylum Seekers (both groups are Sanctuary Seekers) io thrive by navigating British systems quickly and easily to find ¢du¢aiion. work and the services they need. We identified building confidence, learning how to integrate and becoming more self-sufficient as key to being happy and able to enjoy life in Wales. Our projects are centred on these three goals of building confidence: integrating, and increasing self-sufficiency. Our approach is to identify Sanctuary Seeker needs that we could help address and which organisations such as local authorities, businesses and philanthropists are willing to fund through grdnts and contrdcts. It is with great pride that we can look at the number of refugee doctors (over 200) we have assisted to learn medical English, align their qualifjcations and skills. and become NHS Doctors. And at the hundreds of children who have made friends. had fun, and built their confidence through our Children's projects. Dozens of families have been helped to settle. learning British rules and approaches though our Resettlement Work, 'hIle we have helped lone individuals avoid isolation and build friendships through our Shaping My Future Project. We aim to change systems a5 well as supporting individua15. Our Forums and Advocacy work seek to address systematic problems how to find appropriate IA'ork. how to report hate crime, hoM-. to ensure health and Social care providers address the needs of Sanctuary Seekers. The voice5 and messages of Sanctuary Seekers are passed to Governtnent and others who are able to make changes to their delivery models. Finally. we are pleased to be able to help in small but important ways like funding a bus pass or a food voucher in an emergency through our partnership wilh St Davids Uniling Church who give us regular donations. 2024 New Five-year Plan In 2024 our previous 5-year plan ended and we set about creaiing a new one (2025-2030). Every staff member and Director contributed by compleling queslionnaires, joining small group discussions and finally meeting together to agree the plan and next steps. We were pleased that both staff and directors were more posilive about DPIA than had been the case in 2019. Levels of commitment and engagement 'ere high. We thAnk our focus on staff training has been important in increasing skills and willingness to work in new ways. We noted that in 2024 more Sanctuary Seekers had been supported by more DPIA staff on a greater range of projects than ever before, fulfilling an earlier goal. We agreed our financial model - identify need. suggest solutions, and fLnd funding - is one that suits us. We also confinned our way of working building confidence, supporting integration, and encouraging self sufficiency is effective and should remain. For the future we noted that access to employment and legal advice are the most pressing needs and that DPIA should seek out ways of addressing these urgent need5. We felt that partnership work is particularly effective, adding power and speed to iT]itiative5. We also feel a higher profile may increase our effectiveness and ability to attract funding. DPIA'S work is only possible because of OUT Funders and Supporter5. Some have supported us consistently for over 20 years. others joined us far 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. The trustees confirni that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 201 I to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Displaced People in Action Ltd Trustees, Report Achievements & performance Our projects running in 2024 and Iheir impaels: l. Wales Sanctuary Service. This We15h Government project aim5 to help asylutn 5eekeTS and refugees navigate their way in Wales. We held monthly advocacy forums for asylum Seeke and refugees to come together to discuss issues with representatives from areas such as education, housing. and hate crime. Advocacy forums continued on Zoom and the WSS Coordinator ensured that asylum seekers and refugees in Wales had a dedicated forum in which they could discuss ihe issues that affect them. The forums continued to be well attended. We also provided free awareness raising sessions to community groups and organisations such as local councils, universities and charities. This training infornied community groups and organisations to better understand refugee and asylum seeker issues in the UK. The sessions challenged misconceptions and provided a basic introduction to the asylum and refugee issues. Groups were encouraged to consider how they can better embed welcome in their workplace and communities. We reported to the Welsh Government and other agencies, based on the feedback from clients attending the forums. 2. Children and Young Persons, Project funded by BBC Children in Need. The project aimed to help children have more fun, improve their sense of wellbeing and make stronger connections with others. The project delivered a prograrnme of weekly familv_based activity sessions. special events and themed sessions, as well as a programme of outdoor activities and visits to local places throughout the year. Children attending the project also received resource and activity packs. The project ran for I I months in 2024. After 16 years, the BBC Children in Need funding was not renewed. However we were successful in obtaining funding from another source for a similar project to be(pin in ?0?5. Ninety eight children and young people (and 53 parents) participated in the Children and Young Persons Project between December 2023 and November 20?4. Many of them experienced an increase in their emotional IA'ellbeing. built stronger Social connections and had more fun as a result of attending the project in 2024. 3. St David's Uniting Church Education & Wellbeing Fund. Thanks to the generosity of the Church members 'e were able io give small grants to people to support education. health and ".¢1]being. This included travel expenses or food vouchers. 4. Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme. For several years we have supported families who had been re-homed from Syria to West Gweni as part of ihe UK Government's Resettlement Scheme. This project came to an end in 2024 and DPIA no longer h&s live cases to support. However, we may occasionally provide short-terni support in these cases if there is a specific need or circUmsLce that requires intervention. 5. Afghan Relocations and Assislanee Policy. We continued to support refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine in 2024 with a variety of tasks, such as assisting with applying for qualifying benefits, setting up utility bills in their new tenancies. GP regislration. community orientation, volunteering, employmenL tenancy-related matters, schooling, coordination of ESOL provision. and community infrgration. 6. Ukrainian Resettlement Seheme. Follom'ing the a1Val of Ukrainian refugees in Wales our work in West Gwent expanded to cover the Homes for Ukraine scheme. A total of 202 Ukrainian refugees 'ere helped to settle into their host accommodation and live independently through the support Th'e provided them in 2024. 7. Wales Asylum Seeker and Refugee Doctors (WARD). We continued our long-running group for doctors, to assist refugee medical professionals to gain GMC reuistration and work in the NHS. Support included OET and PLAB English lessons. courses and funding. This project is a collaboration with HEIW and the Welsh Govemment. This long running group aids the skills to becoTne NHS doctors and inteurated into the community. During 2024 27 new members joined and five people achieved GMC registration. There were a total of 66 members from 21 countries in the WARD group, 57 doctors, six dentists. one pharniacist, one nurse and one midwife. Page 4
Displaced People in Action Ltd Trustees, Report 8. Shaping My Future. This programme was reactivated in 2024 with new Staff. By agreement with the funder the deadline for completion had been extended to allow for recruitment of a new mevnber of staff to deliver the remainder of the project. During its two-year duration. more than 400 individuals engaged with a range of activities, including over 70 cultural orientation session5. Feedback froFn participants was overwhelmingly POSltive. Financial review Policy on reserves DPIA'S policy is that reserves should equal three months, worth of expenditure. Principal risk5 and uncertaintie5 Fik7ap7cial risks Fundraising has become much more challenging in a highly competitive market with more limited funds available. The loss of BBC Children In Need ndIng after 16 years illustrdtes this problem: since our reports and feedback had been consistentl). positive over the duralion of the project. Loss of the funding was a triple blow. A successful project came to an uneipected end; a valuable member of staff was made redundant; and the charity had to use funds from its reserves to cover the costs of redundancy. The substantial reduction in income during the year in question was due to a number of factors: mainly the ending of earlier refugee support programmes in West Gm'ent. We had also received advanced funding in 2023 for the full duration of the 2-year Shaping My Future project. It has been particularly challenging to obtain funding to cover core management and accommodation costs in spite of our policy of including a tnanageTnent fee in all funding bids. Diificulty in covering core funds represents an ongoing challenge to the sustainability of the charity. The Govemtnent's decision to increase the rate of EmploveTS' National Insurance and - particularly - to reduce the threshold was a blow to DPIA. However. it is hoped that change5 to our paj'roll regime will enable us to benefit from Employment Allowance and offset this additional cost. Funds Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trnstees, 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. Page 5
