Public benefil
Asylos benefit5 asylutn seekers and 5tatele55 people in their preparation of as)'lum claim5 as allowed under
national. Eiiropean and inteTnational law. These asyluni seekers would not be exercisingF their full rill
t5 Wlthout
Asy105 a5S15taiice: as the), M'ould be unable to prepare evidential docuinentation for their asylum claim5. A5Jlos
also benefits its volunteers, who, through their engagenient in conduLting research. learn about the related legal
swstems, and en)phasize to their contemporaries the iinportance of laimess in the legal system.
b. Asylos work is beneficial in that it promotes a high qualitv of legal decision-making and helps reduce the
tiine needed for legal cases to conLlude. thereby helping the legal system Ineet its own sL4ndards. Lawyers and
judges alike have confjmied the added value Asylos reports bring to legal asvlum cases.
As Asylos i¥orks in close Cowoperation with lai+yers ertg￿ed in the asyluin Lases it is highly unlikely that any
detriment or harm for the benefitting population may occur from Asjlos, activities.
d. There is no personal benefit from As}'los' activities for trustees or for specific persons or organisations.
The trustees confimi 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.

Financial revie
We are happy ￿'1th the way we ended the reporting period in 2025. We ended the year with £77,949 of
accumulated fvnds. We took a conservative approach to staff salary awards (cost of living and increment
adjustments) in 2025, wanting to end Ihe yegr in credit and pending new income that was not confirmed until
late in December. Since this income was confim]ed (CLEAR project) we have been able to award a 30/0 Cost of
iving increase to staff effective from January 20?6.
We consider that our budget for 2026 is reasonably healthy, with income and expenditure balanced (we
currently anticipate ending the year with a £6,306.02 surplus).
However, anticipate additional expenditure in some area5, including increased salary costs with two iiew
role5 (replacingF one part-tiine role),. to increase hours in part titne roles. and for con5ultanc}' role5, and 50 we
need to raise further fund5 to meet this.
Poliry oll reserves
We are (still) in the process of drafting a reserves policy for Asylos but in the meantime we continue to WL)rk
towards 3 months of costs set aside flir reserves.
At the end of 2025 we ￿'ere able tl) identify £60,000 to cover approximately 2 months of operating costs. We
plan to move towards our target of 3 months operating costs (£90.000) over the next two years, so adding
£15.000 each year.
