Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd

Trustees' Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Registered Charity Number 1143884

Charitable Company Number 07731995

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Report of the Chair Year Ended 31 March 2024

Last year I ended my report saying that “fast-moving events are likely to continue for the foreseeable future” and indeed they have.

Emergency hotels for asylum seekers have opened and closed in various locations. Manager Rupert Blomfield has led the way in successfully overseeing these unpredictable changes with great agility, justly earning the confidence of local authorities. Our thanks also go to Outreach Co-ordinator, Jury Arevalo, who played a key role in developing protocols for this new area of work until she left us in September to become Assistant Manager in a large asylum hotel in Bristol. Our resourceful Resettlement Co-ordinator, Souad Fadel, has been able to carry on in Jury’s footsteps with the support of Ella Marsh whom we were pleased to welcome to our team in November.

RSD’s drop-in and immigration advice services have continued to grow under the able leadership of Kiven Emmanuel, who joined the team in May following Neli Montes de Oca’s departure. During the six years Neli was with us, she was instrumental in developing our immigration advice service to OISC Level 2 with the support of volunteers Tony Griffin and Alex Goodman who continue this important work together with Kiven.

The resettlement programme (UKRS) continues on a reduced basis, now that most of the families have left the scheme after five years of support. Two new families arrived in Devon under this scheme during the year.

Our education and employability project has continued to evolve, and we are thankful to Jen Schoen for steering our English language provision through new developments. Jen left the UK at the end of March, but continues to keep in touch with us. The Refugees as Medical Professionals (RAMP) programme under Denise Parker’s direction has enabled several professionals to gain the specific English qualifications they need to continue their careers in this country. Anne Conway, herself a medical professional, joined the team in November to develop pathways for these professionals to undertake the clinical aspects of their training.

In March we were sad to say goodbye to Nick Floyd, who for over six years had underpinned the charity’s administrative work, including producing a regular newsletter and assisting us with fundraising initiatives.

As for our trustees, we were devastated to lose Kev Hunter, who died from cancer in May. We were pleased to welcome Michelle Lambourne as our new Treasurer also in May. Our thanks go to John Green and Edie Fassnidge, who stepped down in August and March respectively. Since then we’ve been fortunate to welcome Emma Marshall, an ex-staff member, who joined the board as our fundraising trustee.

Finally, my heartfelt thanks go to our amazing volunteers, our many supporters and donors without whom we would not be able to carry on with our crucial work.

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Trustees’ report (incorporating the Directors’ Report for the purposes of section 415 Companies Act 2006) Year Ended 31 March 2024

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association 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

The organisation exists to provide relief, protection and education for refugees, asylum seekers and their families living in Devon, and to increase awareness of the issues facing asylum seekers and refugees.

Our objectives are:

  1. Ensure effective support for refugees arriving under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme

  2. To provide a wide range of services within our areas of expertise for refugees and migrants who are vulnerable but without refugee status in Devon.

  3. To raise sufficient funds to fulfil our mission and support the mission by fostering a positive culture of sympathy and acceptance of refugees in Devon.

  4. To build on progress in operational management to ensure high quality support for refugees and migrants who are vulnerable but without refugee status.

  5. To ensure governance provides effective oversight and clear strategic direction.

In preparing the accounts the Trustees have taken due regard of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievement and performance

Initial Accommodation hotels

We continued our support of around 395 asylum seekers in 2 local hotels One that housed 70 was closed in September. This ongoing work in a remote location remains a challenge but is also immensely rewarding for staff and volunteers who support the residents. Local authority partnership and funding allowed us to employ another part-time outreach coordinator to support and advise the vulnerable residents

Drop-in Service

Demand for our drop-in services keeps soaring, partly because the hotel residents also need casework support. We helped 205 clients, up almost by a third compared to last year’s visitors. 119 of the visitors were asylum seekers, 54 were either refugees or had a refugee background, eight were British citizens and 24 had complicated immigration status.

Immigration Advice Clinic

We dealt with 194 enquiries/visits during this period from a total of 56 clients. As an OISC Levels 1 and 2 accredited organisation, we continued to support clients with various needs around their leave to remain status, including applications for indefinite leave to remain, spouse visas, leave to remain as parents, naturalisation applications for adults, as well as registrations for children as British citizens. We also applied for fee waivers for those struggling to pay home office application fees. Our support, although limited, is ever more essential where debates around immigration are increasingly hostile.

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Trustees’ report (incorporating the Directors’ Report for the purposes of section 415 Companies Act 2006) (continued) Year Ended 31 March 2024

Destitution Project

We supported 52 individuals during the course of the year. This is a big jump from the 27 people we helped in the previous year. It perhaps reflects the nation-wide crisis of destitution among asylum seekers, and Devon was no exception. The 52 people made a total of 186 claims between them and we issued almost £5,700 in emergency funds. We also made 26 referrals to the Food Bank and other crisis services.

Resettlement Schemes

Two new families arrived in the reporting period. 24 families have left the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (now renamed UKRS) upon securing indefinite leave to remain in the UK. We have ten families left in the scheme now. All the families are well integrated in their communities.

Education, Employability and RAMP

The ESOL team have continued to support RSD clients throughout the year and have adapted to the changing environment, especially with the demand from residents at the two IA hotels. 25 volunteers supported at least 119 students to help improve their language skills. Classes this year have included IELTS, Grammar, Book Club, Conversation Club, one-to-one tuition and small group sessions. Our RAMP (Refugees as Medical Professionals) project is progressing at a brisk pace, with seven of our clients passing OET or IELTS English language proficiency in the reporting period.

Allotment

Our allotment was a hub of activity with more clients and volunteers now helping out. We had a couple of barbecues for our clients which were well attended and enjoyed by all. We also used produce from the garden for the Shared Meal event which was run by our clients in November.

Events

Our main event this year was the Refugee Week event at Exeter Quay. Over 250 residents from the two asylum hotels as well as many supporters attended this vibrant event on a gloriously sunny day. The music, dance, and information stalls gave out a strong message of welcome from the city of Exeter to refugees and asylum seekers in our communities. We also organised a Shared Meal Fundraiser which was curated and managed by six asylum seekers. They fed forty hungry diners and it was a joyous occasion. We plan to run further events like this in the future.

Volunteers

A total of 84 people enquired to be volunteers during the course of the year. We ran a volunteer training session every month for ESOL/RAMP volunteers. We had approximately 85 volunteers in this reporting year.

Financial Review

We are indebted to our many funders, and a full list is available in the annual report. It continues to be a very testing time for fundraising in the current economic climate, which makes it vital for us to work hard to secure our long term future. With a business plan and operating plan in place RSD regularly reviews its projects and goals, and seeks appropriate sources of funds.

This year, our income was £344,721 (2023: £261,431). Our expenditure was £265,611 (2023: £229,884) resulting in net income for the year of £79,110 (2023: £31,547). We are carrying forward total fund balances of £289,058 (2023: £209,948) of which £111,470 (2023: £55,114) is restricted funds, £127,301 is designated funds (2023: £20,000) and £50,287 (2023: £134,834) is unrestricted funds. These reserves provide the base to plan our service delivery from 2023-24 onwards, to meet the anticipated increase in demand as refugee numbers grow in Devon.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity's needs for reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have designated an amount of £127,301 as the minimum reserves required to maintain core staff and services for 6 months in the event of a sudden reduction in funding, and to cover liabilities such as contractual obligations and redundancies should the organisation close.

The unrestricted reserves total £50,287. The Trustees have carried out a financial risk assessment and taken into account the following factors:

Future Plans

Structure, Governance and Management

Refugee Support Devon is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. The company was formed under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and the powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

The governing body of the charity are the Trustees who comprise 9 members. The Board of Trustees meets bi-monthly. A strategic working party, comprising of representatives of the board and the manager, meet in between these bi-monthly meetings.

Trustees are elected at the AGM. Trustees may be co-opted during the year. Every year the three longest-standing Trustees stand down but are available for re-election. Trustees are recruited through both advertising and personal recommendation of the existing Trustees.

The main responsibilities of the Trustees are to formulate the strategic plans of the charity, to approve the annual budget, to monitor the financial activities of the group and to ensure prudence and proper governance of the organisation.

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Independent Examiner's Report Year Ended 31 March 2024

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Refugee Support (Devon) Limited (‘the Company')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s Trustees of the 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 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 2011 (‘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.

  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.

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice’ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity meets the definition of a public entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling.

The charity is incorporated in England and Wales. The Registered office details can be found in the reference and administrative section of the Trustees report.

The Trustees have considered the going concern position of the charity including the projected income (including secured long term and short term funding streams) and expenditure. The Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.

b) Funds

General unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. Expenditure which meets the criteria specified is charged to the fund.

c) Donations and other income

Donations and other income are credited in the year in which they are receivable.

d) Grants receivable

Subject to the following, grants are credited as income in the year in which they are receivable. Grants received for specific purposes are accounted for as restricted funds. Grants are not recognised as receivable until any conditions for receipt have been complied with. Where donor-imposed restrictions apply to the timing of the related expenditure as a pre-condition for its use the grant is treated as deferred income until those restrictions are met.

10

Refugee Support (Devon) Ltd Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Year Ended 31 March 2024

e) Charitable expenditure

Direct charitable expenditure includes all expenditure incurred in schemes run in pursuance of the company’s objectives under its constitution, including the direct costs of supporting these activities, including staff and establishment expenses. Other overhead costs are separately analysed and shown as support costs.

f) Cost apportionment

A proportion of staff, establishment and other costs are attributed to direct charitable expenditure on the following basis:

Staff costs Actual costs Establishment costs Pro-rata to the number of staff engaged on each activity Other overhead costs Pro-rata to the number of staff engaged on each activity

g) Transfers

The Board, in accordance with its powers and within the restrictions imposed by such, has approved the transfer of such income as is not otherwise committed between funds.

h) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised at cost. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:

Straight line over 4 years

i) Taxation

The charity is not registered for Value Added Tax, and the cost of irrecoverable VAT is therefore included within the relevant expenditure headings

j) Financial instruments

Refugee Support Devon only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. The charity currently holds:
