Plymouth Hope Report of the Trustee5- For the year ended 28 February 2022 Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Constitution, and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities. Truslees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2022. Chair's re ort: Another fantastic year in doing what we do best, being there with those at the grassroots level and being the lasl-minute resort in times of crisis. Thanks to our dedicated staff and the understanding of our members, we have been able to gradually resume core delivery as we also adapl to online delivery and we have made it a priority to make sure that as many members as possible have the equipment and resources to engage with us virtually during what has been a very-48tressful and isolating time for the migrant population in t'he UK. Thanks to our supporters and funders, we are well-equipped and resourced to continue our work as Plymouth largest BAME and service user led support charity. The environment for refugees in the UK is getting no easier as the Home Office and the government introduce ever more hostile policies. bul this makes our work more vital than ever for the members who depend on us. We will be doing lots of consultation to come up with the best way of working going fonmard. Learning from the past year, we will combine the best part of online and face to face as far as resour restrictions allow. We are proud of our team ongoing work to cover gaps in Plymouth in the provision of information,, guidance and advice to asylum seekers, The next few months will be testing for the sector as the government considers increasing the number of dispersed asylum seekers with the open of initial accommodations across the Southwest. The board and the management will continue to streamline the delivery strategy and our readiness to intervene alongside other organisalions in the sector. The environment for true social cohesion in the UK has continued to be challenging as we faced increasing reports of racial abuse and incidents taking place across the city in different schools. Tensions and the fall back from the debate about Black Lives Malter Vs All Lives Matter also impacted many communities adding more strain on the social cohesion work. As an organisation with core principles to foster community cohesion we have continued to see deeper divisions and many smaller communities finding a safety net away from any form of discrimination by further isolating themselves. This hostile environment amidsl existing policies will make our work more vital than ever for the members and communities who depend on what we do. We will be doing lots of consultation to come up with the best way of working going foNard. Our Mid-Ground programme was delivered in more schools as we support pupils and teachers explore how equality and diversity ethos fit better in their educational establishments. Our direct intervention to address isolation, loneliness, food poverty and lack of connectivity received praises in the sector. This has seen us kick start the Sland As One programme, distribute over five thousands worth of food donations as we also cater for mullicullural food as well as the connectivity project to maintain Wi-Fi in 72 asylum seekers accommodations. On behalf of the board of trustees, we would like lo thank our volunteers, the management, the staff and funders who have collectively enabled the organisation to achieve so much, sustain our core delivery and expand our offer where the need was most pressing. David Feindouno, Chair of the Board of Trustees

Among other beneficiaries from our projects are international students, people not in employment, older people, and women. This year has seen an increase in numbers of other migrants who find themselves destilute due to high rise of living cost. Using our expertise, we do contribute to the work of both statutory agencies and the voluntary sector. We compliment their work by building links between agencies and our primary beneficiaries. Based on our database, we have continued lo reach out to and support the same target groups refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and host communilies from Ihe following geographical areas (Plymouth predominantly in Waterfront & stonehouse., Lipson & Effort; Mulley & Greenbank,.

These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue lo meet the needs of the charity.
