Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The relief of financial hardship amongsl migrants with no recourse to public fimds living in the UK by the
provision of free advice and assistance to such persons.
For the public benefit to advance education of the public in the needs of migrants with no recourse to public
funds by providing training and advice to other relevant agencies.
Project 17 is an organisalion working to end destitution among migrant families. We work with families
experiencing exceptional poverty to improve their access to local authority support.
We believe that all children have the right to a home and enough to eat, regardless of their parents. immigration
status. To achieve our vision. ￿'e provide advice. advocacy and support for individuals. We build capacity in
other organisations and we campalgn for the improved implementatlon of statutory support.
Project 17 works towards ensuring that local authorities comply with the duties imposed on them by Section 17
of the Children Act 1989 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in need. Section 17 enables local
councils to provide accommodation and fmancial support to avoid children being taken into the care of the local
authority.
This duty exists even if the family has no riJt to work. no acce55 to welfare benefits and social housing and no
leave to remain in the UK. Project 17 exists to ensure that individuals eligible for sUPPOrt under Section 17 are
able to access it effectively.

Achievements and performance
Advice and advocaey..
We provide frontline advice, advocacy and casework to families facing homelessness and severe poverty
because they have no recourse to public funds. We also provide emergency practical suppor¢ such as grants and
support in kind.
In 2023-24, we worked with 426 families. including taking on 198 new clients.
57 /0 of our clients were undocumented when we started working together, and 17% had limited leave to
remain on the family life route. We also worked with familie5 on health and social care, student and visit visas,
and with small numbers of refused asylum seekers and people with pre-settled 5tatU5.
93 /0 of our clients were women and 77 /0 were lone parents.
We worked with clients from 59 different countries. 420/0 We￿ Nigerian and 150/0 were Ghanaian.
We worked with families living in 86 local authorities across Englan(t although 640/0 of clients lived in
London.
620/0 of clients had tried to access support under section 17 ("s. l T"") before they. approached us, but they came to
Project 17 because they had been refused (7) % ). or because the support they received was inadequate (270/0
Families who had been turned away from social servlces experienced a wide rdnge of problems, including
inadequate housing and homelessness, not having enough money, domestic abuse, threats to safety and
exploilation.
59/0 of families had been destitute for more than J months when they approached us, and 26% had been
destitute for more than a year.

Trustees, Report {continlled)
With our support, 61°/ (259 families) accessed support under s.17 Children Act 1989. 560/0 accessed
financial suppor¢ and 480/0 accessed accommodation.
We continue to be concerned about the adequacy of support provided by local authorities. 34% of families
receiving financial support were given less than the lawful minitnum. and a further 90/0 received vouchers
instead of cash. Only 180/0 of those accessing ac¢ommodation found it to be suitable, with many housed in
hotels and HMOS, far away from schools and support nets4'orks.
94 % of familie5 benefitted from at least one positive outcome folloi%'ing our intervention. Alongside s.17
siipport, 51 0/0 accessed emergency financial support from our Destitution Fund. and ) l % accessed larger grants.
680/0 used foodbank vouchers, ￿'e funded emergency hotel stays for J /0. Other outcomes included Healthy SLqrt
vouchers, nursery placements and free prescriptions.
This year, we undertook a review of the advice service. evaluating our aims and priorities: and the extent to
which we achieve those aims. We are no￿. mak.ing some changes based on the review, including being clearer
about our scope and boundaries, and creaiing a new way of taking on clients.
We asked clients to complete a survey about their experiences of working with us. 48 people replied. 90 % said
the adviser helped them understand their options 'very well. { I 00/0 said 'quite well,). 71 0/0 said their current
51tuation was 'a lot better, Ihan before they came to Project 17. 750/0 rated the Service a5 '10110' and a further

Capacity building."
We build knowledge and expertise in other organisations. supporting them lo work with families with no
recourse to public funds {"NRPF") more effeciively. Our capacity building work includes training. case advice
for professionals. and online factsheets. booklets and letter templates.
This year, we delivered 23 training sessions to a range of voluntary sector stsff and social services teams,
reaching over 400 participants. We delivered a range of sessions. including joint training with Southwark Law
Centre and the Care Rights Projecl. We also slarted working with United ImpacL the solidarity and action group
we support, to redesign our trainin& increasing the emphasis on broader social change and incorporating the
perspectives of people with personal experience of NRPF. alongside legal expertise. We hope to begin rolling
out new sessions in autumn 20?4, delivering training jointly with United Impact members.
We responded to 580 calls to our advice lille for professiona15, providing advice on individual cases. This was
a 28 /0 increase from last year.

Strategic work:
Our social change work builds on the knowledge, data and experience of our frontline and capacity building
services. This year, we have focused largely on 5UPPOrting United Impact. the 501idarity and action group we
resource and facilitate. United Impact has over 60 members. all of ￿hOM have previously used Project 17's
advice service. Members have spoken at conference5 and events: attended meeting5 with Parliamentarians and
Home Office representatives; exhibited their phoiography at the Migrant ConnectioT]s Festival and in
Parliament. They also provided evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee and the All-Party
Parliamentary Group on NRPF, for which Project 17 held the secretariat.
Project 17 has engaged with local authorities to ty to improve the implementation of s.17 support. This included
successful advocacy with various local authorities about their rdtes of financial support. We are pursuing
complaints against two councils based on their failure to assess and support families under s.17. We are worried
about the increasing financial pressures on local auihorities. and the threat of bankruptcy leading to increased
'gatekeeping' and unlawful refusals of support.
Looking ahead:
We are starting work with an external consultanL who will sUPPOrt us to think about our work through the lens
of anti-racism and anti-oppression. Over the next year, we will be considering our positionality- our work- and
our ambitions, feeding into future planning.
We will also begin work on our next J-year strategy, which will take us from 2025-28. This will likely include
revisiting our mission. with a view to talking more explicitly about the changes we want to see- critically
reflecting on our work with people M'ith 'lived experience, of NRPF and pushing toM.-ards more meaningful
change and representation; and M'orking tnore collaboratively with others in the sector and beyond.
Financial review
Project 17,5 total income for the year was £520.139. an increase compared to the prior year comparative of
£i50,523. Total expenditure for the year wa5 £402.408 compared to £368.8?) for the year ended 31 March
2023. Overall: this resulted in net incoTne ol£1 17,731 for the year, compared to a net expense of £18,300 for the
year ended 31 March 202).
Project 17's strong income for the year reflects continued recognition from funde￿ around the importance of the
work carried out by the charity. Although income relating io Project 17's restricted funds was healthy during the
year, higher levels of unrestricted funding w.as obtained. given the uncertainty around further restricted funding
in the near-terni, and the likelihood that Project 17's restrlcted funds will continue to be supported by reserves.
Policy on reserves
Project 17's reserve policy states thai UM￿stricted funds. which have not been designated for a specific use,
should be maintained at a level equivalent to three to six months of expenditure. At this level the Trustees feel
the reserves appropriately support Project 17's resilience a2ainst the key financial risks facing the organization,
being the unforeseen loss of funding or incurring unforeseen expenditure, and are sufficient to cover associated
expenditure commilments were Project 17 to be wound down. The reserves policy is reviewed by the Trustees
on a regular basis, at least once a year.
At J l March 2024, reserves were £238,J88. slightly greater than six months of Project 17's total budgeted
expenditure for the follom'ing financial year. While this amount exceeds the reserves policy, it is recognised that
reserves will continue to be required to supplement Project 17's restricted funds over the coming year.

Recommended Practice issued in October 2019. the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republic of I￿land (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Project Sevenieen meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are
initially recognised ai historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting
policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement
of Cash Flows within the financial slalements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trnstees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Volunlary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be
reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where perforniance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be meL the income is
recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that categorv. Where cost5 cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basi5 consistent with the use of resources, with central staff
Costs allocated on the basis of time spent. and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on ihe spread of sthff costs.
