## **Trustees' Report**
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Trustees and officers**
The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:
Trustees: Elizabeth Williams Alexandra Dufresne (resigned 10 November 2024) Stephanie Huber Philip Arnold Julia Vonk Diamanto Vlantoni Katharina Natter Dina Baslan (resigned 1 March 2025) Dick Oosting
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 29/07/2014, most recently amended 19/05/2020.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Asylos is committed to fair and open recruitment processes, but can also choose to appoint new Trustees as outlined in its statutes. The Board and staff, possibly together with one or more volunteers, approach people who they think are suitable, meet them in person or through a conference call and get a better sense of who they are and whether they are interested before inviting them to join the Board of Trustees.
Our board of trustees always includes two to three members who were elected from within the Asylos volunteer network, with the terms arranged in a way that we will plan to recruit a new elected trustee on a regular basis, every 12-18 months. Trustees elected as representatives from within the network (‘elected trustees’) have a specific function to directly represent the interests of the volunteer body and to facilitate communication between the board of trustees and the rest of the network.
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
The object of the CIO is the promotion of human rights law as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent United Nations or regional conventions and declarations, and in national law. In pursuing this object, Asylos will focus on the advancement of human rights law with respect to asylum seekers and stateless people in the UK and elsewhere.

## **Asylos**
## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_
- Engaging in research into human rights issues and monitor abuses of human rights;
• Contributing to the sound administration of human rights by providing information and background research for asylum cases so as to ensure that asylum seekers are given a fair hearing for their asylum claims;
• Raising awareness of human rights issues and promoting popular support for human rights by facilitating an informed and fact based public debate on asylum;
• Providing technical advice to governments and others on human rights matters, by making its research and information available on request and providing relevant training.
## _**Public benefit**_
a. Asylos benefits asylum seekers and stateless people in their preparation of asylum claims as allowed under national, European and international law. These asylum seekers would not be exercising their full rights without Asylos assistance, as they would be unable to prepare evidential documentation for their asylum claims. Asylos also benefits its volunteers, who, through their engagement in conducting research, learn about the related legal systems, and emphasize to their contemporaries the importance of fairness in the legal system.
b. Asylos’ work is beneficial in that it promotes a high quality of legal decision-making and helps reduce the time needed for legal cases to conclude, thereby helping the legal system meet its own standards. Lawyers and judges alike have confirmed the added value Asylos reports bring to legal asylum cases.
c. As Asylos works in close co-operation with lawyers engaged in the asylum cases it is highly unlikely that any detriment or harm for the benefitting population may occur from Asylos’ activities.
d. There is no personal benefit from Asylos’ activities for trustees or for specific persons or organisations.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## **Financial review**
We are happy with our financial position at the end of 2024. We have protected grant funding that needed to be carried over into 2025 expenditure and continue to set aside funds for reserves. We secured two new multi-year grants in 2024 and are optimistic that we will be successful with key grant renewals that are pending, which together with other secure funding would cover most of our committed costs for 2025. We will not be in a position to expand operations or the scope of our work unless we secure new funds.
## _**Policy on reserves**_
We are in the process of drafting a reserves policy for Asylos but in the meantime we continue to work towards 3 months of costs set aside for reserves. We currently have just over two months of committed costs set aside as reserves in our 2025 budget (68% of our target).

## **Asylos**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Asylos**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Asylos**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Asylos (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Asylos**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Asylos meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Deferred income**_
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
## _**Investment income**_
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Page 10
## **Asylos**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Computer equipment|33.33% straight line|
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Page 11
## **Asylos**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
