TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 01 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Objectives and activities
Objectives
To give charitable relief to immigrants and refugees who are suffering hardship, distress or are in need.
Mission and activities
The mission of the Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group is to improve the welfare and well-being of people affected by the immigration detention system through friendship, support and advocacy for fair treatment while calling for positive change and an end to indefinite detention. The charity provides emotional and practical support through its volunteer visitors, to asylum seekers and immigration detainees held at Tinsley House and Brook House immigration removal centres, near Gatwick airport. When appropriate, the charity also supports people not currently held in detention.
The charity has seven paid employees (six full-time equivalent), otherwise it is entirely staffed by volunteers. The volunteers visit people held in detention in the Gatwick area.
Public benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives in planning its future activities. In particular, they have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
In 2020 GDWG continued its core services visiting and supporting people in detention in Brook House and Tinsley House and increased our post-detention work with people released from detention.
With the impact of Covid-19 we adapted our services to meet the needs of our beneficiaries. Many were released to destitution, and some to street homelessness. We created a destitution fund to meet this need, sending monthly food vouchers to those who needed them, and in some cases paying for emergency accommodation while our caseworkers sought longer-term housing. School talks were put on hold during the lockdown as schools shut. We used this opportunity to update our school talks to become more interactive and accessible.
We continued to meet a wide range of emotional and practical needs and assisted 861 people in detention, as well as 105 people post-detention. We undertook 322 initial needs assessments. We gave out 812 phone top-ups in detention as well as 140 phone top-ups post-detention, and 316 clothing parcels. By the end of 2020, Refugee Tales had sold over 13,000 copies. GDWG gained Core Participant status in the Brook House Public Inquiry. GDWG visitors made 438 visits with 360 contacts between visits.
During the final quarter of 2020, the need in Brook House was exceptional. The numbers of those held in Brook House increased significantly as the centre held men who had recently crossed the Channel in small boats. There was a pandemic of desperation. Self-harm rose by 2000% compared to the year before.
Financial review
Financial position
Net incoming resources for the year totalled £ 65,962 (201 9 : £ 14,269 ), as shown on the Statement of Financial Activities on page 4 . All the assets of the charity are used to carry out its objectives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to three to nine months' turnover. This enables the Charity to fund its planned future activities with a reasonable level of confidence. The target level of free reserves has been calculated by reference to future unrestricted expenditure and future shortfalls in committed restricted grant income compared to projected restricted expenditure. The actual level of free reserves of £172,012 at 31 December 2020 is within the desired range.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GATWICK DETAINEES WELFARE GROUP
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’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 of ICAEW, 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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

18 Impact of Covid-19
The charity has remained financially robust throughout the pandemic, with strong support from grant funders and other donors. There has been a significant impact on the charity's beneficiaries, since most immigration detainees were released into the community with little or no support from the Government. This meant that the profile of expenditure changed, with new needs for help with food and accommodation and less spent on volunteer expenses (although volunteers usually remained in touch with the people they had previously been visiting). There was also a major impact on staff and visitors, with working from home predominating and group activity for volunteers and supporters switching to online video conferencing. The Immigration Removal Centres have reopened and a gradual return to visiting is expected as the Government's 'Roadmap' out of the pandemic is implemented.
