two paid part-time staff members; a Grassroots Coordinator and a Development Manager.

on responsibilitles of trustees, financial governance and organisational policy and procedures.
WAST is a registered member of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).
ObJectives and activities
The organisational objectives of Women Asylum Seekers Together derive from the following
vision and values developed by WAST management group members:
Our Mission Statement:
WAST Manchester is o grassroots organisotion led by andfor women seeking osylum in
Greater Manchester. We campoignfor socialjustice and women's rights through a peer-led
support model that helps women find their place in the UK."
Our Values:
Compassion.. we empathise
Respect.. we listen and believe
Inclusion.. we welcome
Empowerment.. we raise women s voices
WAST Manchester is a grassroots organisation led by and for women seeking asylum in
Greater Manchester. Our mission and purpose Is to campaign for social justice and women's
rights through a trauma informed a peer-led support model that helps women find their place
in the UK. Our vision is that through compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment we
support women to reach their potential and have a voice within an increasingly hostile
environment. WAST Manchester supports women to integrate into a peer led support model
of women who empower one another to know their rlghts and fight social injustices through
various carnpai8ns and community partnerships. The cornerstone of WAST is our weekly
drop-in where women offer mutual support, practical help and share information, as well as
accessing legal 5UPPOrt and advice regarding their asylum claims. We also involve WAST
women in campaigns within the community on a local, regional and national level, enabling
them to know their rights via workshops whilst enhancing their public speaking skills and
knowledge of legislation in the publlc sphere. Integrating women into the community to help
them find their place in Manchester 15 at the core of WAST, and we provide a space for

WAST

wellbeing sessions, our dance group and WAST Nightingale's choir to rehearse to perform and
communicate their message about justice for women and social inclusion across Greater
Manchester,

Management Group member
Whoever comes to WAST, their life changes-_ Management Group member
Between April 2023 and March 2024 we welcomed 79 new members and currently have
159 members and 75 children in our network. Over the year our longstanding wellbeing
artivities have continued to develop and thrive and new activities and ideas, responding the
needs of members, have been introduced.
The Friday drop-in remain5 the cornerstone of WAST, allowing women to acce55
information, signposting and peer support, and acting as a conduit to engagement with our
other activities. With the help of our valued partners, several activities have run alongside
the drop-in. Afrocats have facilitated joyful dance sessions which have a significant impact
on women's wellbeing. Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) have continued
their highly valuable support to WAST through the provision of free legal advice for up to 10
women per month. This support is a lifeline for members trying to navigate the asylum
system, many of whom do not have access to a solicitor. The English Conversation Club,
facilitated by student volunteers from the University of Manchester, has also continued,
allowing members to improve their English language skills and confidence.
The sewing group and Nightingales choir, led by Management Group members, have
continued to meet fortnightly, enabling women to develop and express their creative skills
and share their diverse cultures and stories with the wider community. The choir are
regularly invited to perform at high-profile events, providing a platform for WAST women to
speak out and share their stories and to garner public support for WAST.
WAST also undertook a range of short-term projects. such as the 'My Culture, My Cookbook,
project, which had started in February 2023. This enabled women placed in initial
accommodation settings, such as hotels. to cook together and share dishes from their home
country, building community and enabling access to culturally appropriate food. The project
culminated in the creation and publication of the 'My Culture, My Cookbook, collection of
the women's recipes. WAST also linked up with Netball England through which younger
rnembers who wanted to do something more active, organised a series of netball sessions,
beneficial to their physical and mental health.
WAST has reached out to the local community in a range of ways, such as through its first
standalone public Refugee Week event at Manchester Central Library which allowed

WAST
?5
members to celebrate and honour their resilience and journeys as refugees, through song,
poetry, dance and stories.
WAST members formed a new Asylum Support and Campaigns group in November 2023,
which meets weekly. The group's initial focus has been on developing members, skills and
knowledge of the asylum system, enabling them to use their voices more effectively to
communicate their experience and campaign for change. They have undertaken media
training, learning how to share their stories in more impactful ways and training with Right
to Remain on how the asylum process works. These have continued to build women's
confidence and understanding, supporting their participation in protests and challenge5 to
policies affecting them, such as the Rwanda Plan.
Strengthening and developing WAST
WAST has continued to build on it5 model of 'trauma informed peer support, and to develop
its understanding of the impact of trauma and how to create a place of safety for members.
Management group, members and trustees have attended valuable training on
safeguarding and trauma support specific to women seeking asylum.
WAST'S management group, elected by the membership, continue to be at the forefront of
WAST, designing and leading activities and implementing its peer support model. The 10
WAST management members elected in May 2023 have undergone an induction
programme and ongoing training to build their skills and confidence to lead WAST. Three
members now have their leave to remain and continue to lend their support to WAST by
volunteering at drop-ins and activities.
In the past year, WAST has undergone important processes to strengthen its organisational
infrastructure and build its sustainability as a member-led group. A collaborative Business
Planning process was undertaken involving members, management group, trustees and
staff in developing a strategy for WAST for the next 3 years which places women seeking
asylum in Greater Manchester at the centre. The areas of work voted as the top priorities
for delivery by the wider WAST membership, were Asylum Workshops, Dealing with Trauma
and the Asylum Campaign and Support Group.
Work has also continued throughout the year to implement the recommendations of the
Operational Review which took place between March and July 2023, which has included
clarifying the terms of reference of the Management Group and identifying partners to
develop IT infrastructure and a Customer Relations Management system.
Financial review
The annual income for the year ended 31st March 2024 was £131,260 and expenditure was
£124,181 leaving a surplus of £7,079. The trustees are confldent that WAST continues to run
its core services within budget, with the Development Manager working with the Treasurer

WAST
and external finance worker to ensure our organisational budget remain5 secure and clearly
allocated to our growing schedule of activities and staffing and volunteering costs.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept
available funds in an interest bearing deposit account.
Reserves policy and going concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2024 wa5 £109,931 (2023: £79,194}
all of which are free reserves.
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which meets the
day-to-day expenditure of the project and to keep sufficient restricted funds in order to see
these funded projects to their conclusion.
The main source of income for WAST is grants, consequently the accounts do not include any
adjustments that would be necessary should these sources of income cease, however we do
not anticipate this as a result of the strong relationships built up with funders and the
projected funding opportunities we are aware of for the next financial year.
Rlsk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and
systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Trustees responsibilities In relatlon to the financial statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees, annual report and financial
Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).The law applicable to charities in
England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year
which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming

before the charity is entit18d to the funds, the income is deferred and not rec&Jnised until either those
conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity
and it is probable that those condits'ons will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably

are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notrfication has been received of the dividend
due.
(d) Expenditure Recognltlon
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing
the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and th8 amount of the
obligation can be measured reliably.

costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more inforniation on this
attribution refer to note {fj below.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
