LATIN

HOUSE
Chair's Preamble
Two major events during the period covered by this report unfolded in ways that are likely lo affect
members of the Latin American community in the UK-particularly those living in London.
In the summer of 2024, a new Labour government look office in the UK, and in January 2025,
Republicans won the election in the United Slates, with Donald Trump becoming president for a second
lime. Both administrations b￿an their tenures amid an environment in which immigration narratives on
both sides of the Allanlic-lel alone across Europe and beyond-were becoming increasingly fraught.
These developments have since compelled political actors across all parts of the spectrum, in each of
these regions, to clarify their positions on migration.
Soon after the new US adminislralion look office, the enforcement powers of the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement IICEI agency were significantly expanded, alongside a range of othei measures.
Closer to home, the UK government pledged to reduce nel migration, lower reliance on overseas
workers, decrease small boat arrwa15, clear the asylum backlog, end the use of asylum hotels, and
accelerate the removal of people without legal slalus.
In contrast to the narratives that often fuel anli-immigralion sentiment. the UK Trade and Business
Commission-a cross-party, cross-induslry body-argues that migrants are essential lo the UK'S
workfor￿. public services, economy, and long-term growth. They contribute more in taxes than they lake
out, help offset an ageing population, and enrich the country culturally.
It is this latter reality, and its Positive implications, that illuminates and contexlualises the work we do. This
report reflects our efforts, by and with our Community, across several fronls-SUPPOrting a community lo
be resilient, recognised, included, organised, and mutually supportive.
As always, behind every achievement described in these pages stands a commilled team of volunteers,
staff. and a diverse community. as well as a number of funders and supporters. We thank you all.

More than 40 years of Supporting Latin Amgrican and othgr migrant communitigs in London

communily-led initiatives. LAH was founded in 1983 with the purpose of working towards social
inclusion and improving the quality of lrfe for Latin Americans In London.

Key achievements Children & Young People
Thanks lo the support of John Lyon's Charity, Young Camden Foundation, and Young Brent Foundation,
throughout the year, we delivered a diverse range of high-qu81ily activities for children and young people,
including academic support through homework clubs, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathemalicsl workshops, arts and crafts sessions, cultural activities, vocational trips, university visits, and
half-lerm programmes. Our partnerships with local organisalions continue lo enrich the programme and
broaden the experiences available to children and young people throughout the year.
A significant achievement this year has been establishing LAH as a recognised Children and Young
People Programme with a trusted community centre delivering dynamic, high-quality activities and
ServI￿S for children and young people. This marks a significant shift from the early years of the project,
when considerable effort went into reaching out to families. Today, families proactively contact us lo ask
about upcoming activities, with many requesting repeats of specrfic sessions-clear evidence of their
quality, relevan￿, and impact. This transition from building awareness to managing demand

demonslrales genuine community presence and growing recognition of our work.
The project achieved remarkable results, exceeding expectations across participation, engagement, and
impact. We successfully reached children and young people from priority groups, including those on Free
School Meals 1600kl, newly arrived families 1720AI, and referrals from local schools 117%)
often
challenging lo engage consistently.
Young people's activities flourished beyond capacity, achieving exceptional participation. quality, and
feedback. Youth retention among teenagers exceeded expectations, with many returning participants and
new families joining through word of mouth, reflecting trust, satisfaction, and community connection.
A slandoul highlight has been forming a Youth Advisory Group as a ￿sUIt of the project, which positioned
young people as decision-makers rather than passive participants in all our current and future delivery.
Members are still in the process of co-designing LAH Youth Programme, including what type of
workshops and planned outings they would like to do, and contributing to our communications strategy so
LAH can evidence further youth voice across the organisalion.
Several participants who were initially shy or uncertain have gained Confiden￿ and now actively lead
discussions, mentor new members, and advocate for youlh-led inilialives. This Iransfomiation in
self-esteem and leadership represents a profound, lasting impact beyond the Immediate project aims.
Cross-programme collaboration within LAH has also been a strength, making our provision more holistic
and responsive. For examp￿, we celebrated International Migrants Day with a Community Christmas
Grollo. We ran a family 3¢livily during our recent annual arts festival al Swiss Collage Library, and they
have since invited us lo continue delivering activities al their venue. Additionally, being selected lo
participate in the Media Trust's Communications Capacity Building Programme was an unexpected
benefit of the project. We were paired with a gre81 mentor who supported us lo develop our strategic
communications, digital media, slorylelling. and impact measurement.
This enhanced LAH'S public profile and stsff Confiden￿ in sharing achievements, and concluded with
o-year tailored communications strategy we are already implementing through communications and
marketing plans per area, as well as an improved brand guidelines manual for the team.
Equally important has been the deepening of relationships wrth families, creating safe spaces for
connection. As one parent, Sid Nazef, shared. We need pla￿S where parents can work, knowing their
Children are safe, supervised. and engaged in something productive. You Can Count on me and my wrfe lo

Overall, the project not only met bul exceeded ils goals, empowering young people, building confidence,
strengthening families, and positioning LAH for long-lerm sustainabili(y and growth.

Closure of Menchu Nursery
After careful consideration, the Latin American House made the difficult decision lo close Menchu
Nursery in 2024. While the nursery maintained a "Good" Ofsled rating and provided quality early years
education, several slralegi¢ and operational factors made closure the most responsible path forward.
The nursery faced fundamental challenges in fLJlfilling ils original mission to provide bilingual
Spanish-English childcare. The statutory Early Years Foundation Stage framework's emphasis on English
language development significantly limited opportunities for bilingual curriculum delivery beyond playtime
activities. Combined with the local area's small Latin American population, this created a demographic
mismatch that made il increasingly difficuit lo serve our Intended community whilst maintaining financial
sustainability.
Financially, the nursery had struggled for over a decade to contribute meaningful unrestricted income lo
the charity, typically breaking even al best. Recent regulatory changes, particularly the expansion of
government-funded free hours which do not cover full operational costs, further strained viability. The
persistent stsffing challenges common across the early years sector. including difficulties recruiting
Spanish-proficient practitioners and high turnover driven by low sector wages compounded these
pressures.
Most significantly, the opportunity cost became unsustainable. The nursery served approximately 20
families, with perhaps 10 being Latin American, whilst requiring subslanlial management lime and
resources that could be redirected lo programmes reaching hundreds of families. By closing the nursery,
Latin American House can focu5 Its resources on expanding servi￿5 that beller align with current
community needs, particularly our thriving children and young people's programmes, and ensure greater
impact for the Latin American families we serve.
Legal and Social Welfare Advice
Our Infomiation, Advi￿ and Guidance Service continues to be at
the heart of Latin American House's mission to support the Latin
American and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants in
London, as well as other communities in our diverse local
neighbourhood.
We support individu8ls and families in navigating life in the UK by
providing free, confidential, and culturally sensitive guidance.
We assist with a range of Issues, including.. immigration IOISC levels 1-31, welfare benefits and housing

with completing basic form+s Ioyster card, Freedom Pass, etc.) and offer guidance on immigration
matters and accessing government support.

The service primarily supports migrants from Latin America, as well as individuals from Spain, Portugal.
and Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking North African wuntries such as Morocco. Many people turn lo us
because we provide support in Spanish and Portuguese, which is essential in a context where Latin
Americans, as a poorly re￿nised ethnic minority in the United Kingdom, often face limited access to
culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
Beyond language barriers, users often faced difficulties navigating complex systems, understanding their
rights, and a¢￿ssIng accurate information, Challenges that were compounded by limited digitsl literacy.
Over the past year, welfare and benefits advice has been our most in-demand service, accounting for the
majority of visits lo our community centre. We provided advice anol guidance lo residents throughout the
year, with 998 individuals accessing our drowin sessions for infomiation and assistance.
New Europgans
We collaborate with New Europeans lo provide advice on EU Selllement Scheme applications, a
partnership that began in September 2024 and continues to dale. During 2024, we supported a totsl of 46
people, addressing enquiries primarily about applying for Settled Status, including guid8nce on how to
apply and how lo transition from Pre-settled lo Sellled Slalus," renewing or extending Pr&Settled Status",
and handling issues such as denied or refused applications.
Workshops

Case study". Supporting an elderly asylum segker al risk of homelessness
In September 2024, an elderfy asylum seeker reached out for support al our community centre
in Kilbutn. They were homeless, sofa-surfing, and unaware of their enlrftlemenls as an asylum
seeker. With limited English and no access to digital tools, they were unable to apply for support
independently. As the service user did not speak English and lacked access lo infomalion about
Home Office provisions via MigranlHelp, we assisted them in completing and submilling the
ASF1 form for asylum support. However, their application faced repeated delays. as MigrantHelp
requested evidence of destitution that they were unable lo provide due to having no a¢￿sS lo a
computer, printer, or other necessary tools. LAH stepped in lo liaise directly with MigranlHelp on
their behalf, providing documentation lo demonstrate their homelessness.
Despite persistent efforts, Including over 20 contacts and prolonged phone wails exceeding 60
minutes. the case remained unresolved. As their situation became more urgent and they lost the
place they were slaying, LAH began collaborating with other organisations lo address their

Thursdays in Community and the "Textile Dia
During Summer and Autumn 2024, Thursdays in Community emerged as one of the most engaging
and impactfLJI activities hosted by LAH as part of the National Lottery Community Fund INLCFI
funded programme. Designed as a weekly open space, this initiative invited anyone to participate in
a relaxed environment dedicated to art-making, knowledge sharing, and informal training. Over the
course of 17 sessions, the activity organically cultivated a regLJlar group of participants who not only
returned each w*k but also forged meaningful re181ionships through their shared creative
experiences.

A Central feature of Thursdays in Community was ils openness to collaborative facilitation, allowing
artists and community members lo propose and lead their own creative initiatives. This flexibility led
lo a fruitful partnership with Lucia Scarselletta an Argentine artist based in London whose work
explores the heritage and political meanings of textiles through her own project called Diario Textil
(Textile Diary}.
Diario Textil began as drop-in sessions but quickly gained Iraclion, with a consistent group of 20
participants, half of whom attended nearly every session. The sessions aimed to create a collective
lapeslry for permanent display at LAH, serving both as a collaborative art piece and a reflection of
the community's stories. The final artwork, measuring 1 Socm x 180cm, was composed of over one
hundred individually woven pieces contributed by the
participants.
More than a textile workshop series, Thursdays in
Community provided a safe and welcoming space for
individuals with migration backgrounds to express
themselves, improve their manual skills, and share
person81 narratives.
°lin grateful for the space ltre been granted to
develop this project and leam in-situ from all the
participants. During the wort(shop we leamed the
basics of weaving and experimented with repurposed
materials together, p￿v￿Ing a safe space to gather
safely, explore freely and push the o￿alIVIty
boundaries forward in order to think and create collectively a tapestry. The workshop has been pivotal
in my personal growth as well. It gave me the opportunity lo open the practice to 8 wider audienGe
improving my skills on teaching and also unde￿tanding the attendees, needs. For example, I had the
opportunity to work with elderty people that have different molricity and I had lo set up a drfferenl
loom for them. there were also people that struggled with anxiety that have told how much this activity
has help8d with their mental health. The project moved fonvard and during the last March I was
granted by Gel il Done with a Stud￿ at Bow Arts where the attendees from Latin American House
came along lo continue with the activitEs until reluming lo the Thursday in Community sessions l in
beyond happy and willing lo continue with this proj&cl in the future. The main aim is to create an arts
project and more collective pieces that could be showcased different spaces as we did during the
Soho Connections Artist Takeover.

Digital Campaigns
As part of our commitment lo eommunity safety, inclusion, and empowerment, LAH developed a
targeted Hale Crime Awareness Campaign in 2024-2025. This initiative was co-crealed wlh a
group of volunteers, staff, and service users, following a series of learning and reflection sessions
exploring how hale crime impacts the Latin American and wider migrant communities in London.
Through these collaborative sessions, participants discussed real experiences, identified gaps in
awareness and support, and worked together to shape a culturally and linguistically relevant
response. The result was a digital campaign that included social media conlenl and a bilingual,
community, specific fotonovela, a visual storytelling resource that reenacts a hale crime scenario
and guides individuals on how to respond, seek support, and assert their rights. This fomial was
intentionally chosen for its accessibility and cultural familiarity, especially among Latin American
audiences, and was shared widely across our email networks and social plafforms lo maximise
reach and engagement.
This campaign was developed as part of our participation in the Hate Crime Community Outreach
and Resilience Project, commissioned by the Mayorfs Office for Policing and Crime IMOPACI an
delivered by Protection Approaches. Through this programme, LAH joined a network of len
London-based community organisalions working with groups vulnerable to hate crime. The

project's objectives included increasing awareness of hate crime, equipping community members

Learnings and looking forward to the future
Throughout 2024 - 2025, Latin American House ILAHI has continued lo engage with a vibrant and
growing community seeking opportunities lo reconnect with their cultural heritage. This year, we have
seen growing engagement from individuals and families seeking reliable support, opportunities for
connection, education and spaces lo celebrate their cultural heritage.

made in recent years, strengthening our role as a trusted and inclusive hub for the Latin American and
wider migrant community in London. Our vision for the year ahead focuses on expanding
opportunities, improving access to essential services, and deepening our cultural and social impact.
We also reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. At LAH,
no one is discriminated against based on identity or any protected characteristic. Over the past year,
we have navigated a range of perspectives on inclusive language such as the use of 'Lalinx" or
gender-neulral Spanish forms like 'lodes" and we have approached these conversations with empathy
and openness. These discussions have strengthened our resolve to uphold inclusive communication
as an essential part of our work.
Thanks lo the continued support of our funders and supporters, we have expanded our reach and
strengthened our impact across advice servI￿s, cultural activities, and digital transformation. These
improvements are now firmly embedded within our organisalional structure, ensuring long-term
sustainability and enhancing the quality and a¢￿SSIbl11fy of our services.
Moving forward, our focus remains on providing responsive, community-led programmes that promote
resilience, wellbeing, and a stronger sense of belonging among Latin American and other migrant
communities across London.

Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an auditorfs report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranTr is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influenTr the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the Charity and ils activities, we identified that the principle risk of
non-compliance with law and regulations related lo the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statements of
Recommended Practs'ce, UK lax legislation, pensions legislation, employment ￿gulatIOn and health
and safety regulation, anli-bribery, corruption and fraud, money laundering and we conSide￿d the
exlenl to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also
considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the presentation of the financial
statements, such as the Companies Act 2006.
We evaluated the Iruslees, and managements, in￿ntiveS and opportunities for fraudulent
manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that
the principle risk were related lo manual journal entries lo manipulate financial performance,
management bias through judgements and assumptions is significant accounting estimates, in
particular in relation lo use of restricted grant funds, and significant one off or unusual transactions.
Our audit pro￿dure were designed to response lo those identified risk, including non-complian￿ with
law and regulations lirregularitiesl and fraud that re material to the financial stalemenls. Our audit
pro￿dure included bul were not limited to..
Discussing with the Iruslees and management their policies and procedure regarding
compliance with law and regulations.,
Communicating identified laws and regulations throughout our engagement team and
remaining alert lo any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit ,' and
Considering the risk of acts by the Charity which were contrary to applicable laws and
regulations, including fraud.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included bul were not limited lo..
Making enquiries of the trustees and management on whether they had knowledge of any
actual, suspected or alleged fraud.,
Gaining an understanding of the internal controls established lo mitigate risks to fraud.,
Discussing amongst the engagement team the risks of fraud", and
Addressing the risks of fraud through management override of controls by performing joumal
entry testing.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility
for the prevention and detection of irregularities including foud rests with management. As with any
audit, there remained a risk of non-deteclion of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and enlillemenl is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical lo measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor
or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the
accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for
the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the

requirement for it lo be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case

Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assgts (continuedj
An Increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised In other
recognised gains and losses, unless il reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been
re¢ognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease In the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses,
except to which Il offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the Cost or valuation of an asset, less ils residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows..
Fixtures and fittings
Equipment
200/0 straight line
200/0 straight line
Impaimient of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out al each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting dale.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible lo estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generaling unil to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment lesling of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated lo each of the cash-generating units that are expected lo benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned lo those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured al the cash or other
consideration expected lo be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continue(*
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured
reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
re¢ognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised al fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rale of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured al the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured al fair value, with any changes
recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment at the end of each reporting dale. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significan￿, and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characlerislics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, lo the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions lo defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset lo the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be sellled wholly within 12 months of the end of the
reporting dale in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which il arises.
Llmlted by guarantee
The Charity is a registered in Companies House as Company limited by guarantee and has no
share capital. Every member of the Company undertakes to contribute such amount as my be
required (not exceeding 1 Ipoundsll to the Company's assets if it should be wound up while he or
