The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 4 April 2007. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended 18 July 2024. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £10.
A bi-monthly trustee meeting is held. This is also supported by a number of sub-groups covering each project which also meet bi-monthly. Other sub-groups covering areas such as fundraising, marketing and volunteering which meet as and when necessary. All sub-groups also report to the board. The dayto-day running of projects is delegated to staff who report to the board. The Co-CEO’s receive regular supervision and support from a suitably experienced trustee. Other staff are supervised by line managers.
## **Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees**
The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM. New trustees are supported through an induction period which includes where necessary the provision of training provided by external organisations on the roles and responsibilities of trustees.

## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To relieve financial hardship amongst those seeking asylum, those granted refugee status, other vulnerable migrants and their dependants who are destitute and living temporarily in the Yorkshire and Humber region, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of temporary accommodation, advice, information, support and advocacy.
Such other charitable purposes for the benefit of those seeking asylum, those granted refugee status, other vulnerable migrants and their dependants who are destitute in such ways as the trustees shall determine.
## **The charity's main activities**
The charity's main activity is the provision of housing to people made homeless at the end of the asylum process. This includes those who have been refused, but cannot reasonably return to their country of origin, and those granted refugee status, whose asylum support which is provided by the Home Office has ended.
We are members of the No Accommodation Network (NACCOM), the national umbrella organisation representing a network of agencies and charity’s preventing destitution and providing housing to refugees and asylum seekers. Through our membership we are provided with support, training, advice and access to resources, which improves due diligence and service delivery; as well as opportunities to network, collaborate, foster partnerships and share best practice. We are also made aware of funding prospects, campaigning initiatives and kept abreast of changes to governmental policies which affect our beneficiaries and work.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular the reduction of homelessness and the impact on society. The beneficiaries are specifically those made homeless at the end of the asylum process. This includes new refugees and others who are still seeking asylum. The benefit provided is housing and housing support.
## **Achievements and performance**
A review of the restructure of the charity was carried out in September 2025 which resulted in a further restructure taking place, where making efficiencies was necessary. This review and further restructure were deemed necessary for the charity to remain sustainable in challenging times.
Our Leeds Refugee Project offers 54 bed spaces to single adult refugees, through a mixture of ‘exempt’ supported accommodation (35 bed spaces) and our lettings scheme (19 bed spaces). In Bradford our capacity is 15 bed spaces across 4 properties for single adult ARE people seeking asylum. In addition to shared accommodation, we have also offered 2 self-contained family units to 1 refugee family with their children and another to a couple.
Throughout 2025, both the Leeds and Bradford Projects collectively:
Prevented over 38,000 nights of homelessness
We accommodated and supported 19 people seeking asylum, 91 recently recognised refugees and 4 children living with their parents.
We encouraged 15 refugees and asylum seekers to make a positive contribution to service delivery through engagement and participation at our Experts by Experience group(s).
We distributed over £13,000 in financial support to our Bradford residents as well as providing bus fares worth over £2600 to attend vital appointments; as well as cultural, faith and integration activities and enabled the collection of over 500 food parcels to this group.
We supported the positive move on of 8 refugees to longer-term secure tenancies.
Through casework support from staff 5 people seeking asylum were granted Leave to Remain refugee status and 4 moved on into home office support and back into the asylum system.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
Our residents living at our Bradford Project are provided with weekly drop-in sessions which have fostered engagement and supported positive move on outcomes through a holistic trauma informed approach. Drop-ins provide a community hub for residents to volunteer, access peer support, develop new skills, practice English, understand UK systems, know their rights and entitlements, access onward support through signposting and socialise with peers.
Our residents living in our supported (exempt) accommodation at our Leeds Refugee Project have all received at least 1.5 hours of care and support from staff a week, delivered through a variety of activities including 1:1 face to face appointments, house meetings, workshops, support planning, access to health and wellbeing support through signposting and opportunities to volunteer. These activities additionally incorporate intensive housing management support, equipping residents with the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve tenancy readiness and facilitating their transition from Abigail.
Clients living in our Lettings scheme at our Leeds Project, although they present as more independent than those living in our exempt accommodation, they have also received ongoing wraparound support from staff. This has included support with budgeting, help with setting up standing orders to pay rent; developing positive renting behaviours, bidding for social housing, managing priority banding with the council, as well as receiving signposting support to access training, education and advice services which supports with gaining quality employment. These initiatives have all encouraged independence and have supported positive move on from AH to secure more permanent accommodation options.
Where possible we have aimed to stay connected with former residents who remain local to Leeds and Bradford. Former residents have visited both projects to receive integration support from staff but also to volunteer and socialise.
We continue to be able to offer our residents days out in the Yorkshire Dales Countryside thanks to our longstanding and very valued partnerships with Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) and Malham Climate Resilience. Through these partnerships, and with some additional funding, we were able to offer those we support a very welcome Residential this year at Broadrake, located in Ingleborough, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
We use feedback from those we support to measure our impact. Residents have said: _‘Volunteering has helped me to build confidence, I have appreciated the positive comments I have received, and it has been a way for me to give back’_
_‘The staff and volunteers are welcoming and encouraging, which helps my confidence’_
_‘I think all the support I get from Abigail drop-in helps me to live on my own’_
_‘I speak better English because of volunteer each week, drop-in and talking to the volunteers gives me confidence’_
## **Plans for The Future**
We have been working closely with NACCOM (No Accommodation Network) to develop a lodgings scheme to respond to the increasing challenges which newly granted refugees face with accessing accommodation in West Yorkshire. A lodgings scheme which Abigail will lead on, will provide a temporary housing solution for single male refugees who are not deemed in priority need by the council, but who are at significant risk of homelessness when granted their refugee status. With the support of NACCOM, we have been looking at partnerships to develop this scheme as an alternative and innovative solution to refugee homelessness, which has been successfully implemented in other areas of the country.
We are also in conversation with colleagues at LASSAN (Leeds Asylum Seekers Support Network), regarding the opportunity to lease from them a 5 bedroomed property which will offer 5 refugees in Leeds supported exempt accommodation.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £56,566, including net expenditure of £88,238 on unrestricted funds and net income of £31,672 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
Total funds held by the charity at the year end were £384,764. After excluding restricted funds of £342,632 the remaining unrestricted funds were £42,132. After deducting fixed assets of £1,264 this leaves £40,868 as the charity's free reserves.
Money should be set aside as a reserve to protect the charity against drops in income or allow it to take advantage of new opportunities. Reserves can be spent on anything within the charity’s aims.
The reserves value is reviewed annually.
The upper limit value should not be exceeded without a clear development plan.
The lower limit should not be exceeded without a clear regeneration (funding) or termination programme being in place.
Abigail Housing has set limits for 2026 as follows:
Lower limit: £104,750
Upper limit: £199,500
Free reserves at year end were below the level set out in the charity’s reserves policy. This reflects the ongoing challenges from the general environment. Trustees have reviewed the position and are taking steps to strengthen the charity’s financial resilience. These include enhanced fundraising activity and careful cost management. Trustees are confident that these actions will support the rebuilding of reserves over the coming period

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2025
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. 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 UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Abigail Housing
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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 charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow 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 fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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.
