Public benefit statement

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity’s activities.

The role and contribution of volunteers

ILPA does not use volunteers to undertake any of our work; however, clearly many of our members provide their time and expertise to our work on a regular basis. ILPA would simply not be able to function effectively without this invaluable input.

Achievement and activities

To achieve our aims as outlined above, ILPA’s activities span:

  1. The provision of training on all aspects of immigration, asylum and nationality law to immigration law practitioners.

The direct beneficiaries of ILPA training are immigration, asylum and nationality law practitioners and in the financial year April 2024 to March 2025 ILPA delivered 66 webinars. Of these 51 were fee paying and 1,752 people attended these sessions. ILPA ran 15 free webinars which were attended by 958 individuals. Most of ILPA’s training sessions were held online via webinar. We also hosted four hybrid conferences with a total of 282 people attending the conferences in-person and 555 people attending the four conferences overall. The indirect beneficiaries of our training are the clients of our members, and a number of clients benefit for each practitioner trained.

  1. The distribution of information on developments in law, policy and practice and analysis of these to members and others through ILPA’s website (which includes a members’ area, accessible 24/7 with an archive of some 20,000 documents, many unavailable elsewhere).

ILPA is able to harness the expertise of 795 members and 4,530 contacts from these organisations. ILPA is followed by c.5,000 Linkedln followers and our website receives c.over 5,000 visitors per month.

ILPA’s website: We produce and post considerable amounts of content to the public access areas. The vast majority of our original, informative content is publicly available, and we are also use social media to update people about changes to the law and ILPA’s advocacy actions.

ILPA’s online forum: In January 2024 we upgraded our online members’ discussion forum. It is a service that allows members to share their expertise and knowledge with their peers in real-time. Over 1,000 members have registered to use the service.

3. Influencing work through meetings with senior Home Office and UKVI officials.

ILPA has hosted numerous meetings with the Home Office and UKVI caseworkers to improve the quality of decision making, the implementation of the changes to guidance and the rules as a result of the ongoing development of government policy. During these meetings we have been able to provide evidence (gathered from our members) regarding the impact of policy and procedure, and advocate change to improve matters.

ILPA continues to attend and organise a variety of stakeholder engagement and bilateral meetings with various teams within the Home Office, on matters such as asylum, resettlement, family and human rights, work services, digital status, and the UK's future skills-based immigration system. ILPA has also sent a large amount of correspondence to the Home Office and relevant Ministers.

4. An extensive programme of influencing through our Parliamentary work

ILPA briefed extensively on the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill (now 2024 Act) and Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill. ILPA gave oral evidence to the Public Bill Committee on the latter and provided oral and written evidence the Joint Committee on Human Rights in relation to both Bills. ILPA also briefed on changes to the Immigration Rules, submitting evidence to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee.

  1. Support for litigation to promote a just and equitable immigration, asylum and nationality law practice through the provision of evidence and witness statements.

ILPA hosts and manages the Strategic Legal Fund (SLF). During the financial year, 12 grants were awarded by the SLF, and the total funding awarded was £98k.

The Strategic Legal Advice Committee (SLAC) was set up in January 2022 and renewed its funding in March 2025 to run for the next 3 three years. It provides advice to frontline NGOs on the issues they are seeing, including if strategic litigation is an option. Nine events were held during the year, including on Rwanda and accommodation.

6. ILPA’s Racial Justice and Equality work.

ILPA continues its commitment to improving access to the sector to counter the limited diversity among immigration practitioners (particularly in senior roles), addressing the systemic racism prevalent in the sector within immigration systems and workplaces, and helping to foster a more welcoming environment for racialised practitioners.

In the past year ILPA has continued to run the Racial Justice and Equality Working Group and ran solidarity meetings in response to the August 2024 riots.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Immigration Law Practitioners' Association Limited (ILPA) is a company limited by guarantee and not having a capital divided by shares.

The company was incorporated on 21st February 1989 and is a registered charity constituted as a Limited Company under the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company registered as a charity on 10th January 2014. The charity registration number is 1 155286 and the company registration number is 02350422.

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

ILPA’s governing document permits the appointment of up to 12 Trustees. Trustees are appointed annually by the membership at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Trustees can co-opt persons to fill any vacancies and can co-opt up to four members in the course of the year. Trustees serve until the following Annual General Meeting when, if they wish to continue in post they must stand for election again. Trustees are appointed by ordinary resolution of the members.

The number of Trustees must not fall below the number fixed as the quorum, currently four. If it does so, the continuing Trustees may act only for the purpose of filling vacancies or of calling a general meeting. Trustees must be individual members or representatives of organisations, which are members.

The Trustees in office in the period are set out on page 7. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the company other than as members. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in event of winding up.

Trustees’ induction and training

On joining The Immigration Law Practitioners' Association Limited new Trustees receive an induction pack, which includes information on their role and responsibilities. They also are positively encouraged to learn about the organisation's activities, staff and volunteers. A training session with the Secretariat also takes place within the first 3 months of their appointment as a Trustee.

Organisation

The charity is structured so that the Trustees meet regularly in order to manage its affairs, with the Committee of Trustees meeting approximately eight times a year.

A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the charity's services and activities rests with the Chief Executive.

Patrons

ILPA has three Patrons. Alison Stanley was appointed in March 2024. Alison Stanley is a well-known immigration lawyer and trainer. She joins Elspeth Guild of Queen Mary University and Kingsley Napley, and Adrian Berry KC from Garden Court Chambers, who was re-appointed in January 2024 for three more years.

Related parties

ILPA works closely with other related organisations, particularly member organisations, and is guided by local and national policy and initiatives in so far as they relate to the objects of the charity.

Risk management

The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed and believe that the systems in place are adequate to mitigate those risks. The charity's Organisational Risk Assessment is reviewed regularly. The charity makes little use of financial instruments other than an operational bank account and an investment in a common investment fund, so its exposure to price risks, credit risks, liquidity risk and cash flow risk is not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the charity.

Pay policy for senior staff

ILPA undertakes a regular benchmarking exercise for all of its salaries. All posts at ILPA have a salary band. The salary bands are reviewed by Trustees regularly and Trustees agree any salary awards made to staff. Awards are made on the basis of individual performance and the salary band that is relevant for the role.
