Objectives and activities

Objectives

The Charity advocates for 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 wellbeing of people held in detention by offering friendship and advocating for fair treatment. The charity provides emotional and practical support through its volunteer visitors, to asylum seekers and immigration detainees during and after detention at Tinsley House and Brook House removal centres, near Gatwick Airport. The charity advocates for immigrants and refugees who are suffering hardship, distress or are in need.

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 2023 Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group (GDWG) continued its core services visiting and supporting people during and after detention in Brook House and Tinsley House. GDWG trained volunteer visitors visited 194 people 463 times with 716 contacts between visits.

In detention work, frontline staff assisted detained people to access legal advice, supported victims of trafficking, supported people in detention who were under-age and people who lacked mental capacity. Assistance was given to many people in detention who faced delays in release due to lack of accommodation and to people who were isolated by language and for whom our use of interpreters was essential to their understanding of their situation. GDWG took on a new member of staff themselves a refugee who spoke 5 languages and who therefore increased our ability to connect with detained people in their first language. GDWG staff carried out non legal casework for 902 detained people. This included advocacy, sharing information, making referrals, liaising with other agencies, signposting, in addition to providing emotional and practical support. In 2023, GDWG gave out phone credit 2,661 times to 1,356 people, and distributed 1,091 clothing parcels to 599 people.

Through our post-detention support, GDWG gave assistance to people released from detention to homelessness and made 213 referrals for people after detention to enable them to make local connections on release. Supermarket vouchers were given out to 343 people who were destitute after detention. The GDWG Self-Advocacy Group used the Refugee Tales anthology and Walking Inquiry Report as tools to call for change and by the end of 2023 over 20,000 copies of Refugee Tales had been sold, raising awareness of how detention is experienced through the words of people with lived experience of detention. The self-advocacy group spoke to people of influence about the Brook House Public Inquiry Report and spoke alongside novelists Ali Smith and Bernardine Evaristo at the Cambridge Union. They took the GDWG Walking Inquiry multi-media exhibition on a tour of Stockton, the Universities of Kent and Manchester, Canterbury Cathedral and Arundel Museum.

GDWG staff and volunteers met a wide range of emotional and practical needs and assisted 2,306 people in 2023.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Financial review

Financial position

GDWG'S income for the year was £443,427 (2022: £391,652) and its expenditure was £428,427 (2022:£381,685).

Net incoming resources for the year totaled £15,000 (2022: £9,967), as shown on the Statement of Financial Activities on page 4. All the assets of the charity are used to carry out its objectives.

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 £185,317 at 31 December 2023 is within the desired range.

Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
