Achievements and perforniance
Highlights
We are youd to have achieved so much in 2022 against the backdrop of an
increasingly challenging extemal environment. Egregious F)olicies and legislation such
as the policy to send Feople asylum to Rwanda and the Nationality and
Borders Ac( which acutely affect LGBTQI+ people seeknng asylum, have caused
heightened fear and anxiety among our service users. Our support services and
specialist legal advice service have been a lifeline for many. helping LGBTQl+ people
seeking asylum to redu￿ isolation. build support networks and succeed in the asylum
pr¢xess. Last year, our asylum Servi￿ helped 365 people. We continued to campaign
for improved treatment of LGBTQl+ people seeking asylum and a more humane
asylum and immigration system. Somè of our key highlights from 2022 includ8:
We won a Big Issue Changemaker Award, an Attttude Pride Award and were
Highly Commended at the Lawworks Pro Bono Abvards.
We retumed to Pride in London with 36 of our service users after two years of
not being able to attend due to Covid. We also atterKled London Trans+ Pride
for the first time with seven of our Servi￿ users.
We se¢ured LGBTQI-speeific changes to Home Office guidance on
implementation of the Natsonalty and Borders Act.
18 service users from cwntries such as Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Morocco, Egypt,
and Zimbabwe who accessed our support services were granted asylum.
Legal service
We delivered legal advice on asylum to 219 people. We secured legal representation
for46 people. Every service user who c¢)mpleted an evaluation fom said that they now
have a better understanding of the asylum prO￿s5 as a resuli of a¢￿SsIng our legal
advice service. Feedback remains positive"
"13m relieved about the asylum case after talliing to you. In a kind,
assertive and resourceful, true LGBTI supportive atmosphere, I can
now proceed with finalizing the case and follow clear instruction5 for
the process ahead. Thankyou so much for the support and knowledge
shared.-_ Asylum legal service user
"[The Legal Officerl has been more than helpful and dealt wlth my
case with such eTnpathy and was so clear and professional throughout
our telephone conversation. I feel so much better going forwarLi" _

The ongoing legal ¢xisis coupled with a lack of knowledge in LGBTQl+ asylum
claims continues to make tt drfficult for us to find qualty legal represenlation for our
Servi￿ users. We are extremely grateful to the law fim Linklaters for our longstanding
and successful partnership whereby they continue to rewesent some of our service
users.
Rainbow Mrgration is grateful to th8 volunteer lawyers who delivered advi￿ on

ithout their help. I do not believe we would have been successful
so soon after filingthe application and mayhave had to go to a
lengthy appeal. Almost everyone except [the volunteer lawyer] was
very doubtful we would be successful. They gave us advice on what to
write and what not to write. We are very grateful to them."
Partnership legal service user
Support service
We provided one4frone emotional support to 145 people. We helped 75 people to
access housing and supported 70 people to access physical, mental, and sexual health
serVi￿s. We supported 99 people to purchase essential items. For example, one
individual who was living in a hotel in Belfast, extremely isolated and suNiving on only
£8 a week, did not have any hygiene items including underwear. We sent him a
supermarket voucher, so he was able to purchase this. Foranother person vtho arrived
in the UK bwth only the clothes that she was wearing. we helped her buy a mobile
phone, hygiene products, and underwear.
The remote delivery model we developed as a response to Covid has provided us with
more flexible ways to reach our service users. Vthile we have begun offering face-to-
fa￿ services once more, we are now using a hybrid approach. offering a blend of
remote and fa¢e-t￿fa￿ support to meet the individual needs of our service users.
Remote support has generally been preferred by our service users Sin￿ 2020 as
appointments can be arranged fiexibly at a time that suits them and removes the need
to travel. This has also improved accessibilty for our service users for whom keeping
track of appointments can sometimes be a challenge.
The need for our services to te delivered with the assistan￿ of professional
interpreters grew. Between March and June. the amount of time spent on calls with
interpreters was almost double the amount of time that had been spent on ¢all$ with
interpreters in the previous three months. We aSso received referrals from other
organisations specifically requesting this service. The most popular languages in 2022
were Arabic. Farsi. Kurdish Sorani arKI Spanish.

Historirally, our seroice users presented with one complex need and a few smaller
needs. From April 2022, we experienced a sharp increase in Servi￿ users presenting
with several complex needs vthich requires more in-depth Casework from us. This was
alongside an overall increase in the number of new enquiries and delays in decisions
on asylum daims leaving people in need of our servi￿S for longer. This infftased the
number of active cases managed by our team at an Unsustainab￿ trajectory. We
recruited an additional LGBTQl+ Asylum Seeker Support Worker in 2023 to help meet
the increased demand.
Case study- providing holistic support to LGBTQl+ people seeking asylum
F&V are a gay married ￿uple. In their country of origin, they suffered signfficant
persecution because of their sexual orientation and work to highlwJht LGBTQl+ rights
in that country and beyond. They fled to Portugal but were forced to leave after being
homophobi￿llY targeted and attacked by a local group.
en they first arrived in the UK, they intended to work as they were both freelan
professionals. We provided advice on the limitations on working whilst Séeking asylum,
and on their options for r￿lying govemment support. They were unable to access
Legal Aid due to income from previous work pushing them above the threshold. We
supported them to find a private lavryer, and their frÈends were able to support them to
privately fund their Case.
In their first months here. they struggled hugely with tt*ir mentsl health arvj emotional
wellbeing. We provided signrficant emotional supporL They continued to be outspoken
on LGBTQl+ rights in their country of ongin and beyond. They joined us in the parade
at London Prrde last year, sporting handmade ￿a¢ardS highlighting issues surrounding
LGBTQI+ rights in their county of origin.
They were oveiioyed to be granted refugee status in December 2022.
Influencing
We continued to work with other LGBTQI+ Organisatic￿S (MennaMJs, Stonewall,
African Rainbow Family, LGBT Foundation arKI Micro Rainbow) to campaign against
the Nationality and Borders Bill. Woryingly and despite the best efforts of the refvgee,
migration and LGBTQl+ sectors, the Nationality Borders Act became law in April 2022.
The changes introduced by the Nationalty and Borders Act will acutely impact
LGBTQl+ people seeking asylum.
We reSp￿led to the consuFtation on the Home Office's draft guidan¢8 on the
implementation of the Nationalty Borders Act and recommended thanges to reflect
LGBTQl+ specEfic challenges when claiming asylum. Most of our reGommendations
were incorporated. lthen published, the number of references to LGBT+ people had
increased from tsvo to seven. The Home offi￿ have stated that the changes were
made due to our input.

Followng the results of our 2019 social media campaign, #Lendyourvoice, which
showed the potential to mobilise LGBTQl+ aLKlien￿S on the issue of immigration
detention, in June 2022 we launched our first mulb'_year public-facing Campaign, No
Pride in Detention. The Gampaign is calling for an end to detention of LGBTQl+ people
and a 28-day time limit on all immigration detention. The campaign is being planned,
delivered. and evaluated alongside a Campaigns Advisory Group madé up of
LGBTQI+ people who have lived experien￿ ofthe asylum system. By the end of 2022,
3,500 people had signed a digttal handraiser to express their support for ending
LGBTQl+ detention and 19 LGBTQl+ organisations had joined the campaign.
Communications
We launched our communications strategy in January 2022 which aligns our
communications activities with our organisational outcomes. We recruited a full-time
Communications and Campalqns Assistant to provide supwt to our public
campaigning and extemal communications activtties. Wth increased capacity and
more activities, we have seen a surge in traffic to our Y￿b$[l& {43.000 users in 2022
vs 18.000 users in 2021) and a boost in soual media engagement. We reached ten
thousand followers on Twitter, arKI two thousand on Instagram in a little over 12
months.
Our work and the challengés faong LGBTQl+ people seeknng asylum were widely
featured in LGBTQl+ and mainstream media induding in The Independent, ITV, BBC,
The Guardian, Metro, Tre Huffington Post, The Times. Pink News, Gay Times, Attitude
and DIVA.
We supported LGBTQI+ people with lived experien￿ of the asylum system to engage
with the media. We worked wrth a gay man from Rwanda to write an op*d for the
Metro about the UK Govemment's plan to send people seeking asylum to Rwanda.
For Inlemational Migrants Day, alongside IMIX, who work wtth organisations across
the refugee and migration sector to train, support and build communications capacity,
and the Intemational Organisation for Migration (IOM), we supported a se￿ice user to
receive training in speaking to the media who went on to talk to the BBC and Metro.
Training and capacity building
Our support ServI￿S team delivered training to Joumey Asylum Seekers Group (a
support group in Biryningham for LGBT t*ople seeking asylum) and Beacon (a charity
in Bradford helping peokle seeking asylum). Our Legal and PolTrcy Director provided
training on LGBTQl+ to asylum to lawyers at Willkie Farr & Gallagher to support the
setup of a new pro bono relationship whereby they will represert some of our setvice
users.

Reserves policy
The chaty needs to hokl reserves for several reasons, namely:
To tE able to continue to meet its obligations and deliver tts Fyogramme of
activrties in the event of adverse arcumstances, such as delays or shortfalls in
funding or unexpected increases in expenditure.
To be able take advantage of opp￿nrtles as they arise. such as the ability to
employ high-¢alibre people, before SFecffiG funding is in pla￿.
In a last resort, to deal with winding-up costs and secure an orderly closure of
the organisats'on.
The charity is not criticalty dependent on any single funder or income stream. However,
a substantial expired grant or lost funding stream woukl have a material effect on
working capital. and could take between three and stx months to replace on average.
To provide adequatè mitigation against such risks. and to allow a prudent margin for
taknng advantage of opportunities. the trustees aim to hold resetves of between three
and six months. worih of annual expendtture (excluding funded one-off activities) For
2022 the target range was £160,OCKI- £320,000. For 2023 the target range is £180,000
- £360,000, based on budgeted expenditu￿ which reflects the Gharity'5 planned growth
in activty. These assumptions and estimates are reviewed as Rainbow Migration's
programme of aL#tvities develops.
Rainbow Migration's reserves (as defined in the Charities SORP) as at 31 De￿rnber
2022 are:
Unr8Stricted funds
Less: b¢)ok value of fixed assets
303
{5)
Reserves
298
This amount is wilhin the target range for 2023.
Estimated closure costs are kept under review. On the basis that salary costs are
partially funded by restricted income grants. the period of noti￿ on our office premises
licenGe is relatively short and there are no other significant future contingencies for
which higher reserves are considered necessary, the trustees estimate that reserves
of approximately three months. worth of annual expenditure would be sufficient to
secure an orderly closu￿. As three months is at the lower end of the 'going concem.
target range set out above. no fvrther ac*on is required.

any identified gaps. Vacancies that arise are generally advertksed widely on social
media and the internet and attract keen interest. ￿Tr)ere a candidate eX￿ptIOnal
