Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To promote the following purposes particularly for the benefit of the residents of the Park Ward of Calderdale Borough in West Yorkshire,and the wider area:

The advancement of education through training, advice and guidance by whatever charitable means the directors think fit;

The relief or prevention of poverty and the promotion of good health through the provision of advice, counselling, training, information and guidance sessions and healthy meals;

The provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for those persons who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, social or economic circumstances, or for the public at large, with the object of improving their conditions of life and as a way of promoting community cohesion;

The education, care and development of children, particularly those aged 0-11 years;

The furtherance of such other charitable purposes as the directors determine.

The charity's main activities

We are a specialist charity working with people seeking asylum, and new refugees, who are rebuilding their lives in Calderdale.

We are a community of around 19 staff, 180 volunteers, and over a thousand ‘centre members’ from 76 countries. From our community centre in Park Ward, Halifax we offer a person-centred approach, in a welcoming, safe and inclusive space.

We provide specialist advice on immigration and asylum, and one-to-one support with welfare, housing, health, and access to wider services.

We offer English language classes, training, creative, social, sports and wellbeing activities, trips and volunteering opportunities. We also run a befriending and integration service and give awareness raising talks to schools, businesses and community organisations.

Our centre has a free shop from which we offer donated clothes and shoes, a salon providing haircuts and beauty, a ‘chill out’ room to relax and socialise in and a garden. We also refurbish bikes and second-hand tech which we can then give to our centre members. On Mondays and Thursdays, we provide a cooked lunch at our Welcome Cafe, which is free and open to everyone.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees of St. Augustines's Centre Halifax have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Co-Chair's report

Another amazing year for the St Augustine’s Centre in challenging times! In 2022 we have continued to build capacity, grown and diversified our team, tightened up our operations and governance, at the same time as delivering a wide range of services and activities for our Centre Members.

In December 2022 our Co-Chair Mark Pattison stood down, we thank him for his sterling work and commitment and are glad that he remains on the board. We are very pleased to welcome our new Co-Chair Jess Fowle who joins Andrew in this role.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

Co-Chair's report continued

We recruited five new trustees in 2022 and welcome Ebrahim, Elli, Keith, Lora and Lawal who between them bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the board, including experience of seeking sanctuary in the UK. This brings the number of trustees up to 12. We said goodbye to three trustees in 2022, Doreen, Danielle and Katie – we thank them very much for their contributions. During the year we have strengthened our board governance arrangements, reviewed our strategic priorities, increased the effectiveness of board sub-groups and produced or refreshed several key policies.

The context of our work has been difficult – increased use of hotels in Calderdale as contingency accommodation by the Home Office, the implementation of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, increased delays in immigration decisions, the Rwanda proposals, the rise of far-right hostility to people seeking asylum and refugees, a national financial and cost of living crisis – these challenges are just the tip of the iceberg. But despite these challenges, this has been a year when St Augustine’s has grown and flourished and tangibly improved and brightened the lives of the people we support. Achieving all this in these difficult times is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the whole team at St Augustine’s, staff, trustees and volunteers.

Part of the government’s “hostile environment” is to frequently move people accommodated in the hotels around the country, often at short notice. Whilst there are currently almost 200 places for people seeking asylum in hotels in Calderdale, the turnover of people has meant we have supported nearly 1,500 people over 2022, pulling the organisation in a new direction with more outreach services operating in the hotels.

During the year we have brought more people with lived experience of migration and the asylum system into all parts of the organisation. We are particularly proud to have 9 people with lived experience (1/3rd) on the staff and board teams and just under half of our 180 volunteers are Centre Members who have sought sanctuary in Calderdale. Many activities or services are co-led by Centre Members, for example the bike project, the IT project that refurbishes and repairs laptops and phones, the Welcome Café, the free shop, the hair and beauty salon.

The wider report below outlines in more detail the array of services we provided in 2022, the numbers of people involved and examples of the impact of our work.

As always, we are hugely proud that through the collaborative efforts of trustees, staff, volunteers, partners, funders and donors, we have supported our Centre Members in 2022 with a wide range of needs, and increasingly involved them in the running of St Augustine’s Centre. A big thanks as ever to all our funders, new and old. We would like to pay special tribute to our excellent and committed staff group, led by our brilliant Director Sara, who continue to do incredible work and make a massive difference to the lives of our centre members and our community.

Andrew Jones and Jess Fowle (Co-Chairs, Board of Trustees) May-23

Achievements and performance

In 2022 we supported nearly 1500 people, the vast majority of whom are seeking sanctuary in Calderdale.

If 2020 was about responding to the pandemic, and 2021 was about building capacity, diversifying our team, tightening up our operations and significant expansion in our activities offer; 2022 was about responding to new asylum hotels and a focus on policies, systems and legal compliance.

There are now three hotels housing almost 200 people seeking asylum (including many families) as well as further dispersal accommodation which means the number of people in Calderdale has doubled in the last two years. The nature of asylum hotels requires a particular response because people are less independent and there temporarily (though that can mean 1 year plus). They are unable to cook their own food, have less freedom to come and go, live on a maximum of £8 a week and have to get used to living with multiple people from different countries. Working with the Council we have recruited two posts to support and integrate residents. This work is a challenge for all, but we are proud of the way we have been able to respond by providing English classes and activities in situ, find school and nursery places and advocate on behalf of residents’ needs.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

Achievements and performance continued

Immigration processes and legislation are changing all the time and we have been able to adapt accordingly.

Our aim was to increase the number of long term funders (for larger amounts) and we are delighted to have secured a 4-year lottery award for our Support work. Our relationship with the Council is stronger than ever and we have secured a three-year funding agreement with them which enables us to adapt to rising numbers and asylum accommodation. We re-established our immigration service through a new three-year partnership with Justice Together Initiative and Refugee Action.

We managed to raise over £75K in donations in 2022 which is a 20% jump from 2021. This is part thanks to a new Awareness Raising Programme of talks for schools, businesses and voluntary organisations we have launched with the aim of busting myths and spreading compassion. We have a strong reputation locally and within the immigration sector.

We undertook governance development work, recruited 5 new Trustees, introduced sub-groups and task and finish groups, changed our Memorandum and Articles of Association for the appointment of Trustees, and our overall purpose statement. Two notable sub-groups include one looking at sustainability which will be a focus for 2023 and another on Inclusion to push forward our Experts by Experience and Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion aims.

We’ve a new Safeguarding Policy and processes in place and we’ve achieved 90% of a very comprehensive GDPR audit and action plan.

We’ve partnered with HR and Health Safety specialists ‘worknest’ and as a result are putting in place a range of new policies and procedures.

We’ve dealt with the vandalism issues thanks to an excellent relationship with the Police who have installed their own temporary CCTV, arrested some of the individuals involved and helped us secure the funds to install fencing around a vulnerable part of or property.

We have got to grips with our CRM system now which means we are experts in quantitatively understand our impact and the resources are there to explore our qualitative impact more in time.

Volunteer development has become a focus in 2022 and we undertook a survey and have started to implement recommendations including a quarterly Volunteer newsletter, monthly awards, clearer training and line management.

We opened a ‘chill out room’ and ‘warm space’ designed pro bono by an excellent designer which means it’s a room that people feel comfortable to be in. It has facilities to make hot drinks, board games, x-box, a piano, children’s toys, large and intimate meeting spaces, phone charging, free WIFI and more.

We also developed a new Drop-In Manager role for our Advice Drop-In which means the way we run this service and how we recruit and train volunteer caseworkers is considerably improved. We have some new, talented staff on board, notably a Premises & IT Manager who has taken on a lot of the leadership for this area of work, including Health and Safety processes.

Having people with lived experience of seeking asylum represented in our staff, trustee and volunteer team, brings exceptional insights and experiences, and together with those of our centre members, they shape what we do.

We have made our commitment to LGBTQ Staff and centre members more visible through posters and a Centre Member agreement that everyone must sign.

Finally, we took on a house management provider to manage the house we have available for people who have become destitute. This has meant we can focus on immigration and integration support rather than using our time to deal with housing issues.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £155,899, including net income of £83,700 on unrestricted funds and net income of £72,199 on restricted funds after transfers.

Funding

Total income rose significantly as we engaged with more partners and saw a substantial increase in the demand for support, to £740,184 (2022: £530,612). As a result of these additional services our expenditure also increased to £582,693 (2022: £475,812). This resulted in a rise in restricted reserves of £72,199 (2022: £13,425), as per the Statement of Financial Activities, and unrestricted reserves increased again by £23,355 (2022: £13,425).

St. Augustine's Centre, Halifax

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

Financial review continued

With the appointment of our Centre Director Sara in March 2020 there has been a significant increase in the number of funders and amount of funding. She has established strong relationships with several funders who have offered us substantial support at a time when many charities have seen their income fall significantly. The number of organisations we have received grants from increased again in 2022 and we continue to pursue other possibilities. We are grateful to all organisations who have supported us in 2022 and as always to our long-term partners, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and Community Foundation for Calderdale (CFfC). As mentioned elsewhere we have received 4-year funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and this will greatly help our fund our Support Work. There has also been significant support from Blue Thread, Refugee Action and Lloyds Foundation, both financial and physical, plus funding over 3 years from both The Tudor Trust and Henry Smith Charity has continued.

During 2022 we finally undertook our extension project to the Support Centre building. This has created a proper reception area from which to operate our services plus the garage has been converted to provide additional room space. Capital funding is more difficult to obtain so our thanks go to The Clothworkers Foundation, Tudor Trust and Rotary Club of Halifax who helped us with this. The substantial increase in building costs meant we had to fund more of this from our unrestricted reserves than we had expected. At the end of 2022 we were successful in obtaining a grant from Net Zero Hub which will allow us in 2023 to improve the insulation of both buildings, install energy efficient lighting and fit Solar Panels with a battery backup on the Support building.

The ongoing support from individuals and local organisations who provide our unrestricted funds are vital to the Centre’s ongoing activities and we are very grateful that this continues at a time when there is great pressure on people’s disposable income.

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment

Reserves policy

The Board of Trustees has agreed to maintain a reserve level equivalent to not less than 3 months’ running costs in order to enable the smooth running of the charity. This would equate to approximately £145,000 based on annual expenditure of £580,000.

The total funds held at the year end were £371,139. Restricted funds were £178,070, leaving £193,069 in unrestricted funds. This includes tangible fixed assets with a value of £61,937. Excluding the restricted funds and tangible fixed assets from the total funds leaves unrestricted free reserves of £131,132.

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.
