CHAIR’S REVIEW

I am honoured to have been appointed as Chair of Trustees (January 2024) for The Separated Child Foundation, with the mandate of offering practical, emotional, and social support to separated children and young people who seek asylum in the UK.

The demand for our work remains high as over 3,400 separated children claimed asylum here in 2023. These children arrive mostly with nothing, having fled their homelands because of war or persecution, travelling alone because their parents have been killed or were unable to leave.

Separated children routinely take the dangerous journey across the Channel, travelling in small boats like dinghies, which are completely unfit for the rough seas they may face, and arriving on our shores in Dover, Kent. They take these routes to seek safety and protection in the UK.

Since 2007 our main work has been providing welcome packs: giving comfort with clothes, toiletries and essential items to children who arrive with nothing but the threadbare clothes they stand up in. Whilst arrivals by small boat reduced last year compared to the prior year, demand remains high for our essentials packs that are solely distributed by our partners in Dover.

If we add these together with the arrival and sleep packs, last year we distributed almost 6,200 packs to children. This could not have been achieved without our 50 regular volunteer ‘Purple Packers’. Last year’s packing sessions were assisted by volunteers from our corporate partners like esynergy and community groups like Croydon Minster. We are immensely grateful – thank you!

During the year – after a thorough research and consultation process – we also launched vital resources for foster carers in the form of an animated video to help them better prepare for the emotional, sociological, and physical needs of separated children.

Our two Club Classes – our weekly after school educational, social and cultural programme for children aged 14-21 – in London and Bournemouth, went from strength to strength. In our evaluation 89% of children attending both Club Classes said they had improved their English, and 100% reported making new friends and learning more about UK life to help them integrate, because of Club Class.

We remain proud to be active members of three campaigning groups – ‘Together with Refugees’, ‘Refugee Migrant Children's Consortium’ and ‘Families Together’: co-signing demands to the government such as ending to the practice of placing children into hotels whilst they await their asylum decisions.

In February, Richard Hammond – our CEO and first staff member – retired and he has been replaced by Hannah Williams, our former Operations Manager. Hannah now leads our team, which comprises our Programme Manager and our Project Co-ordinator for packs, supported by 12 passionate Trustees and our superb team of regular volunteers.

This year was characterised by socioeconomic and political challenges that had an impact on many vulnerable groups. After a challenging year for funding, we reviewed and adapted our strategy and we have lowered our forecast for the next year, aiming to spend £275k. Free reserves at year end were £67k or three months of our budgeted expenditure in the next financial year, in line with the Trustees’ Reserves Policy.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my appreciation to our team and volunteers who work tirelessly to address the needs of separated children, as well as to our partners, and donors – Trusts, companies, and all those individuals who support our work. Our success in making a difference in the lives of separated children would not have been possible without your generous support.

CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Background

The Separated Child Foundation was set up in memory of Ester Gluck (see right) who was born in 1982 and who died in 2006 at the age of 24. Compassionate and creative, Ester was deeply committed to working for the benefit of refugees and people seeking asylum.

In particular, she cared about the needs of young refugees, especially those who have become separated from their parents and close family.

Charitable objectives and aims

The Separated Child Foundation has two aims:

Welcome packs

The need for our work remains high, with over 3,400 separated children (also known as unaccompanied minors) claiming asylum here in 2023. They flee their homes in Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria and other war zones and / or places of persecution in search of safety. They travel alone because their parents have been killed or are unable to leave; they have faced traumatic events and are extremely brave.

When separated children and young people arrive in our country, it is almost always at the end of a difficult, demanding and dangerous journey. Some separated children have even experienced traumatic events such as seeing their travel companions, sometimes their brothers and sisters, being killed by smugglers, or dying in the sea or during a sandstorm.

Invariably they arrive exhausted, lacking even the most basic necessities of life, after walking in groups at night, sleeping during the day and taking turns to keep watch.

The packs project is our main work, accounting for around half of our budget. Last year we distributed nearly 6,200 packs to children. Our packs are given to children at different points, on arrival into the UK, and / or on arrival to the location that the government decides to disperse them to via the National Transfer Scheme (NTS).

The Separated Child Foundation

Trustees Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements - year ended 30 June 2024

Arrival packs (see right) are tailored for boys / girls and different sizes with toiletries, a towel, flip flops, three pairs of socks / t-shirts / underwear, unisex sweatpants, hoodie or warm jumper, a weatherproof jacket, notepad and pen, a hat, gloves and scarf.

Sleep packs (see left) are pouches containing everything needed to restore restful and refreshing sleep to children after their horrendous journeys: a night shirt, night light, lavender bag, ear plugs, eye mask, stress ball, a ‘sweet dreams card’ and text free leaflet explaining how to use the pack items. Below we have set out how partners use them as a tool to restore refreshing sleep cycles.

Most partners distribute both packs, but some areas just take arrival or sleep packs.

Essentials packs (see right) have been developed to be distributed solely by our Dover partners the Refugee Council who are responsible for looking after separated children who have arrived by boat.

The Refugee Council have a unit in Dover where children stay for 24 hours before they are sent to their allocated local authority area as part of the government’s national transfer scheme. Essential packs contain

toiletries, three changes of underwear, socks and t-shirts as well as a towel as this complements the track suit provided by the border force to the children on arrival.

Feedback from children

“I really liked the light. It’s dim and I can sleep with it. I smelt this [the lavender bag] and the first night I slept like never before.” “ I have clean clothes! I had only the ones I was wearing, now I have a choice, thank you!” “I get scared at night and I can't sleep, the little light helps me to see.”

“The squeezy ball helps me when I am stressed.”

“I love the lavender!”

Packs distribution network

As can be seen from the graph below, we are growing our distribution network for arrival and sleep packs. Some partners collect packs (49%) and for others, delivery is made using Parcelforce (47%) or arranged by hiring a driver (4%).

We have worked hard to expand distribution outside of our South East heartland and last year worked with partners as far afield as Plymouth, Liverpool, Kent, Gateshead, Glasgow and Northern Ireland. The chart below shows the distribution of arrival and sleep packs over the last year.

Our partners
Packs are distributed to children by our partners: charities, local authorities, and NHS services that are
in direct contact with children and young people across England, Scotland and Wales.
----- End of picture text -----

We have both national and local partners, including well known charities such as Barnardo’s, The Children’s Society, Freedom from Torture, Refugee Council, Centrepoint, Migrant Help, Guardianship Scotland and British Red Cross.

Locally we work with charities like Portsmouth Hive, BACA - Loughborough, Bedford Open Door, Young London, Young Roots, Birmingham Children’s Trust, Hillingdon Refugee Support Group, International Care Network in Bournemouth, Fareham CAB, The Harbour Project and Love146.

Last year we gained new partners like Roc Solid, Hummingbird Refugee Project, Changing Lives, Bedspace Resource, YMCA Sussex, Children’s Family Trust, Guardianship Scotland and the Fostering Foundation.

Impact and feedback from partners

The reports shared by partners in the quarterly evaluation forms indicated that the packs have three main positive impacts on their work with separated asylum-seeking children:

  1. They help to build and strengthen the relationship between frontline professionals and children. Whether social workers, nurses, doctors, or youth workers, the packs play a role in facilitating the human interaction that is often hindered by language and culture barriers.

7

The Separated Child Foundation

Trustees Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements - year ended 30 June 2024

  1. They make children and young people smile. Unfortunately, a smile is not a given gesture for many children who have experienced traumatic events, violence and neglect. Many partners reported how this smile was a strong symbolic signal that meant a lot when packs were given out.

  2. In a broader sense, being able to give our packs to children contributes to a welcoming environment. Partners have varied capacity to be able provide that environment, so the packs can play a unique role in showing care and protection.

  3. In 2024 a sleep pack evaluation was conducted with young people and partners which concluded that:

  4. Our sleep packs are generally given to a young person during a wider conversation about their mental health and/or wellbeing, and specifically how they are sleeping. The person giving the pack (usually a social worker or NHS practitioner such as a mental health nurse) will explain what’s in the pack and how the young person can use the contents to get a better night’s sleep.

  5. Some children are embarrassed to say that they have issues with sleep and won’t take the packs when first offered (although will often accept them at a later stage).

  6. There is a correlation between giving a sleep pack and young people feeling safe enough to disclose issues (sleep-related or otherwise) that may be troubling them.

Our partners have reported that the physical act of handing a sleep pack to a young person often opens up a conversation. As the contents of the packs are being discussed, the professional supporting the young person can speak more broadly about sleep challenges, which can be a stigmatised topic.

As noted by Guardianship Scotland: “ The young person’s initial response on receiving the pack is a mix of curiosity and excitement but sleep might be a sensitive topic, and we have found that adolescent boys may feel ashamed to report being scared or having problems with sleep . By giving a sleep pack alongside a conversation or supporting guidance, it is possible to offer support even if the children and young people themselves haven’t yet disclosed a particular issue.”

Feedback from partners:

“These have been a game changer for our young people. We are now taking spontaneous arrivals and most come with absolutely nothing - so thank you. You can tell this made them feel safe.”

Bristol City Council

“We are very grateful for the sleep packs, it has been a great resource and helpful for initiating conversations with young people about sleep hygiene and mental health more broadly.”

1625 Independent People

“Staff and volunteers were very impressed with the quality and contents of the welcome packs. They felt it was great to be able to give our younger service users something special.”

"Very helpful support for our work around managing trauma symptoms, psychoeducational and sleep hygiene. Thank you for your contribution.”

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

“The young people appreciated the packs as this allowed us time to spend with young people rather than have to go out and source items when a young person presents to us, allowing us time to alleviate their anxieties and distress.”

North Somerset Council

“We find the packs a really helpful, efficient and fair way to give a 'full set' of essential items to recently arrived young people we work with.”

Young Roots

“Being able to give out the packs alongside other work that a therapist will do at our upcoming therapy days, will be a really helpful way of providing practical assistance to help consolidate the emotional and mental health support we will be giving.”

Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (GARAS)

Our packing team and ‘Purple Packers’

During the year 50 volunteers came together regularly to assemble pack items into the duffle bags and pouches in ‘Purple Packing’ sessions, including two volunteers who came to the UK as refugees. Big Yellow Self Storage provide most of our storage facilities and a pack preparation area, for free.

The goods making up the packs come from trusted suppliers, including a charity that ‘rescues’ unwanted goods from disposal and destruction, and makes them available at a low price. We have developed relationships with companies who can donate pack items and regularly receive gifts in kind of toiletries from Lush.

We have developed several volunteer roles to support the delivery of the packing project. As of June 2024 we had nine ‘Pack Leaders’ – all of whom hold DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks and First Aid qualifications, and who have completed NSPCC safeguarding and child protection training. They can run packing sessions independently, liaising with the Project Co-ordinator to ensure orders for packs can be fulfilled. Another volunteer is responsible for sending out evaluation forms to partners on a quarterly basis; the findings are analysed by the staff team with any suggestions from the partners incorporated into project development. We have a Volunteer Coordinator who is the first point of contact for new volunteers and manages the rota for packing sessions. Two former staff members have recently returned to us as volunteers.

We encourage young volunteers to participate via The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and other schemes, giving them experience to help future employment prospects, working alongside ongoing committed volunteers.

Over the last year teams from AXA XL, Quintain Living, SCOPE, Vanguard and Vodafone, as well as CBRE (pictured left), and GlobalLogic (pictured right), and community groups like local Scouts and church groups, volunteered to join our packing sessions.

Our Project Co-ordinator is responsible for managing our volunteers, co-ordinating packing sessions and for monitoring data and producing reports.

Sessions have been held in community locations such as churches. See right for Croydon Minster packing day with members of their congregation. See left for a batch of essential packs ready for Dover.

Feedback from corporate volunteering sessions

“We arrived not really knowing what to expect but were warmly welcomed by Hannah and her team to help them create welcome packs for separated children. The powerful point was to hear some of the stories and the positive impact the packs have on the wellbeing and mental health of the children, very humbling.” Quintain Living

“We all enjoyed it, and it has been a great experience for us.” CBRE

“It was a moving display of team spirit and a reminder that refugees are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children.” Vanguard

“The plight of these children and the incredible work you do brought tears to our eyes, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this important cause and give these young people some comfort through the sleep packs. The team really enjoyed working with you.” Vodafone

The profile of children helped

Whilst events in Ukraine and latterly in Afghanistan and Sudan have dominated recent news cycles, children receiving packs have fled from wars and conflict all over the world. This is exemplified in our profiling of where children have fled from at least 27 different countries and regions: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea, Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Kuwait, Libya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Vietnam and Yemen. The majority of the children we helped were aged between 12 and 18 years old (95%), with 37.5% between 12 and 16 and 57.5% were 17 or 18 years old.

Club Class

Club Class is a cross between a club and a class: an educational, social, and cultural programme for separated children aged 14-21 which runs every week after school including during school holidays.

We run it in partnership in London and Bournemouth with the Refugee Council and International Care Network respectively. Partnering enables us – together - to offer a holistic service to children as our partners are already providing other services e.g. accommodation, as well as support at immigration appointments, and art and music therapy.

Club Class is a great place for children to meet peers, make friends, have fun, build confidence and improve their English, in a and safe environment. Sessions help children develop social and life skills, providing information about UK systems and processes affecting them. After sessions children have time to relax, play games and eat together which helps them form bonds and build a network. Care is taken to source food that they would have eaten in their countries of origin.

Over the last year, we helped around 150 children, with an average of 17 attending each session. Most children are regular attendees, with others coming a handful of times to find their feet on first arriving or whilst awaiting relocation elsewhere in the UK.

Throughout the year sessions explored UK culture, customs and traditions, mental, physical, and emotional health, studying and future careers, managing money and building relationships.

Since 2023 in response to the children’s feedback we have incorporated additional days out – with a social and educational purpose - during school holidays. Activities last year included a kayaking / raft building trip, bowling, Christmas ice skating and more recently Crazy Golf.

For specialist topics guest facilitators are invited to lead sessions, for instance last year included Sexual Health Dorset, Off the Record and Babylon Migrants Project on sexual health and consent, mental health and stress, and creative expression respectively.

In a recent session (see right), we encouraged children to think back to their arrival here. They explored the ‘top 5’ things they wished they’d known when they first arrived which would have helped them.

This has helped to inform session design for the rest of 2024.

Outcomes

The three outcomes we track formally are that attendees report that they have:

  1. Made new friends.

  2. Practiced their spoken English so as to improve it.

  3. Improved knowledge / understanding of UK life (culture, customs, living independently, staying safe etc.).

Last year’s evaluation found that:

Feedback from children

“From coming to Club Class I have learnt many things and met lots of new people /new friends.”

“I like all the topics to help me understand the culture of England. I come if I need help or to ask questions, sometimes to play games.”

“I feel like I am part of the society. All staff are amazing with their help.”

Training for foster carers

Over the last two years we have identified a need for the foster carers of separated children to be better prepared for the emotional, sociological and physical needs which separated children uniquely present with. Our ambition is that every foster carer who cares for (or is planning on caring for) a separated child is aware of, and has access to, pertinent and high-quality information to better help them prepare ahead of their young person arriving, enabling the best possible outcome for both child and carer.

In autumn 2023, we launched a new resource for foster carers in the form of an animated video. Our Programme Manager identified and consulted with appropriate professionals and agencies to create the content and ultimately promote the video in order to maximise access amongst foster carers, this included foster carers, fostering agencies, local authority fostering teams, social workers and academics, as well as peer agencies who work front line with professionals supporting separated children. The video was featured in the Foster Talk December issue e-magazine with a circulation of 19,000 foster carers ( FosterTalk is an independent, non-profit support provider for the fostering sector across the UK, established in 2004 ).

Since being launched online, the video has been viewed 533 times on YouTube. As well as being watched by individuals, some local authorities have been using the video as a training tool. Blackpool Local Authority reported that the video was used in their ‘learning circles’ between December 2023 to March 2024; the learning circle training was delivered to all their social workers and children's services staff to raise awareness of the specific complexities of working with separated children.

Feedback on the video

“Very good for families about to look after a separated young person.” Foster carer

“Very informative.” Scottish Border Local Authority

“After caring for our first separated young person, your video helped me think and reflect on how to do it better. Thanks.” Foster carer

“Excellent resource.” Lead nurse for unaccompanied asylum seeking children

Through discussions with contacts and recipients of the video, sleep hygiene / disrupted sleep was raised as an important topic for which there are few high-quality resources available. The Separated Child Foundation is exploring possible future projects around ‘sleep’ including a collaboration with a national charity which is one of the leading, independent expert voices on sleep issues in the UK.

Giving children a voice

We use digital communications to tell the children’s stories, sharing their needs and hopes and raising awareness of the challenges they face to encourage compassionate responses to them in wider society.

During the year we have shared pictures of Club Class activities and days out to demonstrate the importance of varied social and cultural experiences for the children we support.

We protect the dignity and safety of the children we work with by not showing their faces in photos, anonymising their feedback and comments, and asking their permission before sharing their words.

Instagram posts showing Club Class activities and experiences throughout the year

Influencing

We have continued as members of three campaigning groups this year - ‘Together with Refugees’, ‘Refugee Migrant Children's Consortium’ and ‘Families Together’. We have co-signed letters on issues such as demanding an end to the practise of placing children into hotels whilst they await their decisions. We have also participated in selected coalition-led campaigns to change government policy, empowering our social media followers and email subscribers to advocate on behalf of separated children.

In spring 2024 we signed the Fair Begins Here Promise, calling on the government for a fair new plan for refugees which includes protection for people fleeing war and persecution, a proper strategy for welcoming refugees, and stronger global cooperation.

The Ester Gluck Awards

We launched the Ester Gluck Awards in 2022, to celebrate separated children who have delivered or initiated a project which promoted positive social change. These awards suitably recognise Ester as the inspiration for the establishment of the Foundation and honour her life and memory.

The winner of the 2024 Award was Ali Ghaderi, Founder of Babylon Migrants Project.

Recognition of our work

Whilst the feedback from our partners and beneficiaries is the most valuable assessment of our work, we were delighted to receive recognition in the form of The Mitzvah Day Beneficiary Charity Award in April this year.

This award is testament to the compassionate ambition that connects our volunteers, Trustees and staff.

CHARITABLE ACTIVITES - FUTURE PLANS

The coming year is the second of our five-year strategy 2023-28.

The packs project will continue to be our main work, taking up over half of our spend. Given the challenging funding environment, we have lowered our forecasts for the next two years, aiming to spend around £275k per annum, funding dependent. We will develop proposals and apply for funding for new initiatives such as training videos and a third Club Class.

Priority areas remain as below:

Welcome packs: we aim to maintain numbers distributed, whilst continuing to balance distribution by engaging new partners outside of our South East heartland. We have increased our budget to £50 per arrival pack, £10 per sleep pack and £21.50 per essential pack to reflect the increased cost of the items in each pack.

We spoke to children at Club Class last year on how we could improve the packs. Funding dependent we aim to implement their ideas which ranged from simple adjustments like swapping flip flops for sliders, to more costly ideas like including trainers, shoulder bags and more waterproof outerwear.

We aim to engage more partners further North, encourage more gifts in kind, build our volunteer base and increase income from companies who join us for corporate packing sessions. We will continue to try and engage companies to donate pack items to us to reduce cash spend.

Club Class: we will continue to develop our weekly Club Class programmes in London and Bournemouth with additional activities such as trips out. Funding dependent we aim to develop a third Club Class, using feedback from children and evaluation data to improve the Club Class offer.

Evaluation: we will continue to seek feedback on our work from children attending our Club Class, so that separated children have a lead role in informing the direction of our work.

Training for foster carers: we intend to develop training resources around sleep hygiene for foster carers as this affects so many separated children after their unimaginable journeys. This would link to our sleep packs and we are currently exploring a collaboration with a national charity, which is one of the leading, independent expert voices on sleep issues in the UK.

Giving children a voice: we will continue to empower separated children to tell their stories and reflect on their experiences, needs and hopes in a safe and dignified way.

Influencing: we will use our direct experience with children to add weight to our authority and influencing work. We will advocate and influence nationally via our membership of long-established campaigning groups.

Infrastructure : we aim to continue to retain low overheads; using resources efficiently. We will monitor the staffing structure and roles to ensure they are appropriate for our developing needs, and to optimise the opportunities offered through volunteers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity has limited assets and receives no statutory funding. Our main source of funding is voluntary income through donations from individuals, companies, Trusts, the National Lottery Community Fund, and gifts in kind (items for the Packs and pro bono support).

The Income and Expenditure Account shows total incoming resources for the year ending 30 June 2024 (YE24) of £202k (YE23 - £268k). Resources expended amount to £290k (YE23 - £281k), which left a net deficit of £88k.

Total net assets at the year-end amounted to £92k (YE23 - £180k) of which £25k were restricted funds (YE23 - £13k).

Excluding fundraising costs, 94p of each £1 invested reached separated children. Fundraising costs as a ratio of income raised were 7%.

Reserves policy and position

Our YE24 free reserves amounted to £67k. The Trustees’ policy is to hold three to six months of the coming year expenditure in free liquid reserves. This will mitigate the risk of reducing our services to separated children should income drop unexpectedly.

We have estimated that our YE25 plans will cost £275k and our free reserves equate to three months of this expenditure, therefore falling in line with the Trustees’ policy.

Income generation

Whilst fundraising last year was challenging, we secured £199.6k in total from our generous donors and succeeded in diversifying our income sources so as to be less reliant on one source, with:

We also generated £2.8k from our investments and secured a relationship with Lush, who now gift us toiletries for our packs.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of our Trusts and Foundation supporters (acknowledged below) whose grants help us lever funds from other donors.

We receive regular donations from connections of the Trustees and volunteers, which has assured us of a regular baseline of income. Investment into digital campaigns has raised public awareness of our charity and increased our email subscribers. We have been converting some of these into regular donors but at a slower rate than hoped for.

We are grateful that last year many of our supporters elected to raise funds for us. These community fundraising events included an afternoon tea, a carol concert, a sponsored bike ride and sponsored walk, as well as a football tournament and toiletry collections organised by our corporate volunteer groups to support our work.

Corporate income has come from regular supporters, some of whom also support us with packing sessions, and one with our IT and database systems.

Towards the end of the year we began to generate charitable activities income from charging a fee for companies to join our packing sessions, using them as team building events.

We are incredibly grateful to the individuals, and organisations who donate money and gifts in kind to us, and the individuals who volunteer their time. Without them, we simply could not survive. We would like in particular to thank esynergy, Empiric, the NLCF Awards for All programme; and the following Trusts and Foundations:

7 Stars Foundation, Alchemy Foundation, Archer Trust, Baron Davenport's Charity, City Bridge Foundation, Croydon Relief in Need Charity, Diocese of Southwark and Croydon Minster, February Foundation, Fulmer Charitable Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, J &H Orlander Trust; Lady More Charitable Trust, Leigh Trust, Leri Charitable Trust, Marsh Charitable Trust, Mbili Charitable Trust, Peter Stebbings Memorial Charity, Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Souter Charitable Trust, Stanley Grundy Charitable Foundation Limited, Tula Trust Limited, and The Underwood Trust.

Trustees Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements - year ended 30 June 2024

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Foundation is a charity, and a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 6 June 2007 and registered as a charity on 24 August 2007. The charity was established under a Memorandum and Articles of Association which established its objects and powers, and how it is governed. In the event of it being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Governance structure – Board of Trustees

During 23-24, the Board expanded to a total of 12 members, including people with lived experience of the issues experienced by our beneficiaries.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the strategic policy and direction of the charity and meets six times a year. The Board is also supported by a Management Committee (comprising Chair, Deputy Chair, Treasurer and CEO) meeting six times a year, and an Influencing Committee. The charity’s policies and procedures are all approved by the Board of Trustees and reviewed every 1-3 years.

Last year we gained a new Chair, Fathiaa Abdalla, whose extensive experience includes UNHCR representative to Kenya and Afghanistan, and senior leadership positions in UNHCR, UNICEF, Save the Children, OXFAM and MSF. Our Co-Founder, Angela Gluck, remains on our Board as a lifetime Trustee. We were joined by a new Trustee, Lam Joar, former Refugee Olympic Team member and MSc Refugee & Forced Migration Graduate (University of Oxford).

All Trustees are required to complete the NSPCC Introduction to Child Protection safeguarding training as part of their induction and they are expected to undertake their own research into the challenges faced by children and young adults in the UK asylum system, as well as having an understanding of the trauma and difficulties faced by separated children before they even leave their homelands.

Leadership and our staff team

In February, Richard Hammond, our CEO and first staff member, retired and has been replaced by Hannah Williams, our former Operations Manager. Hannah now leads our team (1.7FTE in total) with our Programme Manager, Helen Tirebuck, and our Project Co-ordinator for the packing project. During the year, Augusto Lepre de Souza was replaced by Benedetta Mocci as Project Co-ordinator.

The team is supported by external specialists including three youth workers leading Club Class sessions, an accountancy firm, and a Trusts fundraiser, plus specialists in HR, data protection and digital whose services we use on an ad hoc basis. Helen Tirebuck manages our three freelance youth workers for Club Class.

Risk management

The Trustees limit expenditure to the funds available to them from time to time. It has no present intention to borrow any monies. Internal control risks are minimized by the implementation of procedures for authorization of all transactions and projects. Key risks are regularly reviewed, recorded on our risk register and discussed at Board Meetings.

Under our Safeguarding Policy, all trustees, staff and senior volunteers are required to hold a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate which they get updated every three years. Our front-facing

Trustees Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements - year ended 30 June 2024

staff who are likely to work with children have an ‘enhanced’ DBS check. We have ensured that our policy and any associated procedures /training comply with statutory requirements.

Our policy reflects available guidance on good practice in safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults, and that safeguarding arrangements are proportionate to the risks involved. We have committed to addressing safeguarding throughout our work, through the three pillars of prevention, reporting and response.

During the year we also developed and / or updated the following policies: Data Protection Policy and associated Privacy Notices, Health and Safety Policy, Pay Policy and Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy.

The organisational risk register is updated by the CEO and reviewed and interrogated regularly by the Management Committee and the Board of Trustees.

Public benefit

The Trustees, having considered section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, have satisfied themselves that they have complied with the duty to have regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Activities and Achievements of The Separated Child Foundation are outlined in this Report and the Trustees believe, demonstrate that The Separated Child Foundation is providing public benefit. The Trustees seek to benefit primarily those separated children within the UK, wherever they reside.

Responsibilities of the Trustees

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other regularities.

Audit

Under the Charities Act 2006, an exemption is provided for an audit, since the annual turnover of The Separated Child Foundation is less than £1,000,000. Accordingly, in interests of cash flow preservation, the Trustees have not appointed an auditor but have appointed an Independent Examiner.

The Separated Child Foundation

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The Separated Child Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is 84 Cromwell Road, London, SW19 8NA.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Separated Child Foundation 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 note.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

d) Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

25

The Separated Child Foundation

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

e) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

f) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities based on cost as follows:

ities based on cost as follows:
2024 2023
Raising funds 4.7% 4.2%
Charitable activities 95.3% 95.8%

h) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

i) Cash at bank and in hand

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.

j) Creditors

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.

The Separated Child Foundation

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

k) Financial instruments

The charitable company 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

l) Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.

m) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
