Where appropriate the charity signposts or refers clients to other agencies, both in the statutory, legal & voluntary sectors. The charity is extremely grateful to its volunteers without whom it could not carry out its activities. ## **Benefits & employment income breakdown** **Benefit Clients Amount** |Pension Credit £804 avg|x 48|£501.000| |---|---|---| |State Pension £250 avg|x 35|£113.000| |Carer’s £304 avg|x 4|£21.000| |PIP £400 avg|x 29|£107.000| |Universal Credit £750 avg|x 268|£2.251.000| |Working tax C £600 avg|x 3|£24.000| |Child Tax C = £600 avg|x 6|£72.000| P a g e 3 | 11 _**Migrant Workers Sefton Community**_ _**Registered Charity 1155318**_ |Child Benefit £120|x 26|£37.500| |---|---|---| |Housing Benefit £408 avg|x 24|£117.000| |Attendance allowance £250|x 4|£12.000| |Council Tax £120 avg|x 41|£49.000| |Benefits Total|=|£3.370.000| |Employment full time|X 33|£715.000| |Extra Income||£149.000| |TOTAL||£4.234.000| **Mwsc organisational development challenges included** - completing registration forms for telephone clients due to language barriers - • Counting indirect clients and children • When clients have received ‘Settled Status’ certificates they falsely believe that they do not have to take any further actions, which is incorrect. The ‘Settled Status’ certificates must be updated each time the client renews passports or ID. This process involves relogging into Gov.Uk, facial scanning and inserting new information. Failure to do this, will result in clients not being able to renter the UK in the future. Clients need to be informed of this additional process that has been added to the UK systems. Clients also need to log into Gov.Uk to secure share codes for employments purposes • Understaffed **Funding Grants 2023** P H Holts £13.000 Sefton Council £20.000 Albert Hunt £2000 Mayor’s fund £585 New Philanthropy £10.000 Elanor Rathbone £3.000 Lottery £10.000 John Moores foundation £5.000 Mr. Agoblie (client) donation immigration £500 Masonic Charitable foundation £10.000 **Beneficiary demographics** • Number direct beneficiaries reached face to face clients Indirect family members have not been ~~[7]~~ counted.

The team had a suspicion that the sponsorship landlord was up to a scam and wanted a native speaker from the charity to talk to the refugee without making her feel uncomfortable or threatened we were given a contact number for Ms A. From the call to Ms A, we were told that Ms A had moved from the sponsorship house within 3 weeks of arrival. Home for Ukrainian team closed the claim for £500 a month that the sponsor would have continued claiming for the next 11 months. ## **Fraud, Sponsorship, Visa application family members** Self-referral Mrs K B asked advice as she wanted to sponsor a family visa for her father to join her in the UK a sponsor landlady had offered to complete the Visa application for the cost of £4000 client agreed and a payment plan was worked out.

Mwsc was approached by Mr A Z ‘s family who required support to complete an ‘Appeal’ the appeal was completed and sent to Home office with supporting documentation from his employer and his children whom desperately wanted their daddy to stay in the UK. The outcome is still to be decided. “Family of Mr A Z, our English is very poor, we would not have been able to complete the forms our son sent to us to complete without the mwsc charity, we are very grateful” (Mr. Z, Family 2023) P a g e 5 | 11 _**Migrant Workers Sefton Community**_ _**Registered Charity 1155318**_ ## **Debt, Housing Issues, Employment** ## Self-referral Mr M G needed support to control his £15,000 debt he had approached a ‘debt consolidation solutions company’ online and had agreed that they would sort all his debts into a payment plan.

Mwsc contacted the debt consolidation company to cancel the agreement, it was pointed out by mwsc that the client’s English is poor, and a translator/interpreter had not been provided for the client. The company agreed to release the client.

Hmrc Emerging issue in 2023 clients reported they were being fined by Hmrc for Self-Employment & SelfAssessment accounts. Mwsc contacted Hmrc to discuss the growing number of clients experiencing serious issues clients are being sent huge unpaid penalties and charges for Self-Assessment, Self-Employment accounts even though clients had never opened Self-Employment, Self-Assessment accounts. Mwsc contacted Hmrc to discuss our concerns, we were told that more and more migrants accounts are being Targeted and Compromised. During the conversation I asked how this was possible, clients National insurance numbers were being used and if that was happening than the same practise could be used to open benefit fraud online and bank fraud online. I have selected 3 cases of online Hmrc fraud as case-study. ## First client **Online Fraud, Debt, Hmrc high tax code earning’s removed from wages.** ## Word of mouth Referral Mr V. C. Romanian national arrived in the UK 2014 employed by agricultural factory locally since 2014 poor IT & English skills, client is married with two children.

Client experienced financial hardship as he could not pay rent buy fuel to go to work or groceries to feed his family. Client tried to call Hmrc to explain that he had never been Self-Employed and there had been a mistake, unfortunately he was not able to explain himself and nothing changed. Mwsc contacted employer as a starting point to see if it was an error they may have created. Next step was to become an agent for the client by filling in a ’64-8’. Mwsc called Hmrc with the clients’ employment history since 2014 and was informed that Self-Assessments had been opened for the following years, 2016 – 2017, 2017 – 2018, 2018 – 2019. 2019 – 2020, 2020 – 2021, 2021 -2022, 2022 – 2023.

PR8 5AB. Email: admin@propertypanda.co.uk ~~—_~~ **www.propertypanda.co.uk** MWSC, Suite 5, Shakespeare House, 37-39 Shakespeare Street, Southport, Merseyside, PR8 5AB ## **Report on Housing Issues in the Sefton Migrant Community** For the past 2-years, demand for housing has outstripped the supply of property stock available. As migrants have little in the way of previous references and must comply with UK migrant rules, properties advertised by agencies, tend to demand higher rents from migrants for less decent accommodation due to the need for housing from this community. Ukrainians do not have the necessary references and are charged a higher premium for deposits, month in advance and rents. Such ethics within the residential letting sector has left many migrants vulnerable, resulting in them paying overpriced rents and dependent on unfit homes. It is also in my opinion that many migrants are not aware of their rights under the Housing Act 1988, and therefore do not exercise their rights, or complain to landlords and agencies for fear they will be evicted.
