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

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.

Organisation
Plymouth Hope was registered as a charity on the 16 August 2013. The charity is
controlled by its governing document, Constitution which was last updated in October 2021.
Governance of Plymouth Hope is through a Board of Trustees elected by the membership at
the AGM. The Board has final legal authority and is responsible for overseeing the operation
of the entire charily and its activities. All new Trustees take part in a formal induction
programme and receive regular training. The Board meets 12 limes in a year. It regularly
reviews its structure and the individual and corporate responsibilities of Trustees. The Board
of Trustees can set up sub-committees (i.e. to deal with detailed finances, HR, personnel
issues elc.) but k&y. decisions have lo be taken by the full Board and sub'committees have to
report back to the Board. A Delegated Responsibility Policy is in place as well as Terms of
Reference for each operating sub-committee. The following subcommittees exists.. Human

support the development of a new 5-year Slrategic Plan.

fundraising initiatives in the long run. To date all the charity trustees are also directors of the

year.

Plymouth Hope has a bottom up and beneficiaries centred approach and we are lucky and
proud to have board members and a management wilh refugees'journeys and migration lived
experience and those from the host community. Although we aim to focus on reaching out to
asylum seekers. refugees. black and ethnic minorities groups, we also reach out to the host
community. For example, primary participants in our youth programme have been young
refugees, children and young people from the economically less disadvantaged areas of the
city.
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,. East & Catledown., Devonport & stock- City Centre,. St Judes & Mount

Risk review
The Truslees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and
to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud
and error. The Trustees recognise the importance of identifying and putting in place effeclive
arrangements for the managemenl of risk. A Risk Register has been eslablished and has
been approved by the Board of Trustees. It is kept under regular review by the Board of
Trustees and any changes lo risk are reviewed at each Trustees meeting. Financial risks
associated with reducing income streams from the government and trust funding has led to
the development of a 2 year fundraising strategy which plans for and supports Ihe
diversification of funding and activities. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have
been in place to diminish the risk the charity faces. These procedures are periodically
reviewed to ensure they continue lo meet the needs of the charity.
Good Practice volunteer mana
ement and safe

Volunteers continue lo be at the heart of our delivery and this year again they played a crucial
role in enabling us to respond to the post-covid 19 crisis and the post covid lock down.
Volunteers became the link between those needing support and the support available, they
played an essential role in ensuring each beneficiary we previously supported was reached
and continued to re￿1ve regular wellbeing calls throughout lockdowns period. Thank you to

Monitorin
& Evaluation
We continuously monitor and evaluate our work against our charilable objectives, keeping
track through a monthly review of our work and impact. To measure success against our
objeGlives, we are monitoring and measuring a number of aspects, including but not limited
to.. number of reports disseminated and our social media activity including a newsletter.
Thanks to the reporting tool UPSHOT funded by the Rank Foundation, we have continued to
utilise it to record each and every activity and action we deliver. In addition to this, we have
maintained our approach to remain a need led organisalion and as such our focus on
organising focus groups regrouping beneficiaries and volunteers was excelled, for example
we run few sessions online where asylum seekers in different accommodations were able to
take part and tell us aboul the conneclivily project and raise any difficulties.
Achievements and Performarce
For another year, the organisalion ability to adapl and be resilient in the face of crisis and
implementing contingency plans were put to a real test. As mostly a contact and face to face
delivery organisalion, we would have suspended everything. But thanks to volunteers, staff
and trustees who teamed up to rapidly adapt and find ways to continue being there our
beneficiaries in moment of crisis, we have our maturity by meeting that test. We continued to
receive praise and positive feedback across the voluntary sector on how handling of the
crisis. On behalf of the Refugees and Asylum seekers network, we were trusted with Ihe role
of the lead communicator in raising covid 19 awareness and ensuring key essential
information reach out to asylum seekers, refugees, and other vulnerable migrants in the right
government guidance format and in different languages. We are also proud of the role we
have continued to pay in supporting young people post the Black Lives Matter movement
periods of public protests following the death of George Floyds.
We were commended by tens of schools for the role we played through our education81 and
outreach programme by becoming a liaison between schools and many families as
communication links were cul off as well as for innovation our homework support by
changing the delivery lo an online format, this reaching out to tens of children, young people,
and families. Thank you to generous donors, we were able to set up an outreach system
enable our volunteers equipped with handset to liaise with beneficiaries and take support
queries from the public.
As part of our efforts to diversity funding streams and find a permanent space for physical
activity, we were able to invest in starting an internal printing company and in wellbeing
centre {Boxing Gym} by taking over an printing company cenlre.

due to the shooting that happened in Plymouth in August 2021, the board felt compelled by

Following the first connectivity contracts installing wifi in 79 accommodations, we have
continued the connectivity project providing internet in 72 asylum seekers accommodations in
Plymouth. The UK government house asylum seekers in homes without television, no TV
license and no internet. During the first lockdown, il became apparent that people living in
those homes were cut off from the outside world and they were facing serious isolalion and
loneliness. Many families were unable to get their children to follow school programmes
delivered online. Our team worked hard to fundraise fund for the first initial six months. Our
impact report showed that this project had to be continued to prevent mental health and ensure
people were accessing servI￿s. We have made an engagementto continue providing internet
for the next two years. The programme conlinues to be funded by the Rank Foundation,.
Plymouth City Council., The Livewell Foundation,. Open Doors International Language School

crowfunding campaigns run by our staff. Our team continued with fundraising appeals to
ensure the two years contract is fully paid for.

We were privileged lo have been selected by refugee Action to join seven other organisations
across the UK to implement and expand Asylum Guide. As the only project representative in
Plymoulh, it has been great delivering this programme lo support asylum seekers. Asylum
Guide came in very handy to not only reduce the anxiety asylum seekers go through due to
the lack of knowledge of the asylum system they are navigating through but has also
complemented our existing delivery. This programme is funded via Refugee Action by Comic
Relief as part of a global migration support initiative. Asylum Guide has three delivery
pathways..
Asylum Guide as per Refugee Action embedded programme is to empower asylum
seeker by acquiring information and knowledge needed lo navigate the system. This
element of delivery also comprises of forming a group of experts by Experience from
all seven providers who constitute a national advocacy group with the aims to raise
advocacy point and feedback changes that need to be implemented to belter the

Reserve
olic
The reserves policy is reviewed at least every two years. This year the policy was to hold a
financial reserve equivalent lo 3 months operating costs. This level of reserve was set as it
was deemed both reasonably achievable and to be of a sufficienl level to ensure continuing
operation of the charity. in light of the charity holding a number of multi-year granls. Through
regular monitoring of the cashflow, trustees agreed that up to 3 months running cost was
sufficient as reserve so that it is at a level to allow us run for a minimum period of three months.
The current reserves in general fund are below this level.

Independent Examlner's report on the financial slalements
To the trustsès of Plymouth Hopo
I repori on the financial statements lor Ihe year ended February 2022 sel oul on pages 16- 24.
This report is made so18ly to Ihe Tiustees of Plymouth Hope, as a b)dy, in aGcordgnoe wilh
regulations made under seclion 145 of Ihe Charities Act 2011 and Charily SORP Ifiss81. My work
has been undertakan so that I might state lo the Truslees matters l arn rBouired lo stale lo them in
an independent Ex8miner's report and lor no otlier purpose. To the lullesl extent permitted by law.
I do not a¢￿pt responsibility lo anyone olher than the charily and charity's Irustpes lor my
independent exatnin8tion work, lor Ihis reptsrt, or for the 518tement I have given below.
Respective respon51bllltles of Trustees and Independent examlner
As Charity twstees forthe puiposes of charily law, ale responsible lor the preparation of the financial
slaternents. The Tiuslees consider Ihal an audit 1$ not required for this year under section 144121 of Ihe
Chaiilies Acl 2011 Ilhe 2011 Acll and Ihal an independent examinallon is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to an audil under company law and 15 eligible lor
indbp8ndent examination, it is my responsibility lo..
81 exarnine Ihe 8CCOLints under se¢lion 145 of thè 2011 Act.
bl follow the procedures laid down In the géneral Direclions glven by the Charity Commissioners und8r
se¢lion 14515llbl of the 2011 Act.. and
cl slate whelher particular mallers have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlner's Statement
My oxamination was cairied out in accordan¢e with the general Diieclions given by Ihe Charity
Commlssion. An examination includes a reviBW ol the 8eceuniing records kepl by the Chaiily, 2nd a
comparison Of the 8ceounls presBnted wllh those records. It also Includes consideration of any unusual
btems or disclosures In the accounts and seeking explanalions frotn you as Tiustees concernlng any
such mallers. The Procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be T8quired in an
audit, and eonsequenlly no opinion is given as lo whether the aceounls presenl a'twe and fair vi￿￿
and the report is limited to those matters set ovt in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connecllon with my examination, no maller has come to my attenlion..
l) which gives rne reasonable cause to believe that in any tnaterial respect the reaulremenls
al lo keep accounting lgcords in accordan¢e with Secllon 130 of the Charities Acl.. and
bl to p18pare account5 which 8ccord with the accounting Tecords, comply with the accounllng
requirements of the Chaiilies Act
have nol been mel., or
21 to whieh, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to Ènable a proper understanding of the
accounts lo be re8thed.
