TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is run by trustees who have the overall responsibility for the organisation. IPC’s trustees bring in a vast knowledge and experiences to support the organisation. They have both academic and years of professional experience in some key areas such as managing and running voluntary and community organisations, teaching and training, research skills, safeguarding children and vulnerable adults as well as two committee members who are from refugee backgrounds and can speak four different languages spoken by service users. The trustees seek professional advice when required.
The day to day management is delegated to a professional management team who work collaboratively to develop the business in line with trustees’ wishes, and report regularly to trustees on operational progress and financial management.
Our trustees:
Jama Jama. Originally from Somalia, Jama has been involved with supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the north east for 10 years, as Chair of the Golis community Association and then Chair of the East African Support Group, and also as a trustee on the North of England Refugee Service.
Mark Sutcliffe studied Languages at Oxford University and the School of Slavonic Studies, UCL. Following this he worked for publisher Booth-Clibborn Editions (London), on their Russian and Iranian list, before moving back to the North-East as a freelance publisher and translator.
John Hinman , until retiring in 2011, worked in policy and public affairs for the NSPCC, and as a member of the national consultancy team working in black and ethnic minority communities. He adapted safeguarding programmes for use by IPC with refugee parents and carers and initiated a project in Baghdad at the Central Children’s Hospital and is working on projects against Trafficking and Exploitation.
.
Tanjong Tajocha, a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants with over 15 years’ experience in accountancy, tax and business consulting, is COO at Febe Associates, based in Gateshead.
During this year we have recruited three new trustees with lived experience of the issues we are addressing, and they are undergoing training and preparation so they can join the board during the next year.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charitable objects as set out in the governing document are:
The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among people who are refugees, asylum seekers and BME communities who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position, by providing:
Education and training for refugees, asylum seekers and BME communities and their dependants in need thereof to advance in life and assist them to adopt within a new community
Social and recreational facilities and events involving the local community Awareness-raising training and campaigns on the needs of people, refugees, asylum seekers and BME communities, to encourage service providers and institutions to adapt their services to meet the needs of these communities
Research into the effects and causes of social exclusion of refugees, asylum seekers and BME communities
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.
Activities are being delivered within 3 operational themes:
Health & Wellbeing
Our projects are designed to steer people away from mental health difficulties, and prevent future escalations, by incorporating the NHS 5 steps to Wellbeing into our activities, helping people to CONNECT, BE ACTIVE, TAKE NOTICE, LEARN and GIVE. Many of our projects provide opportunities for healthy physical activity too.
Employment, Education and Training
We work in partnership to deliver employability services, we always ensure our clients are able to access the language support they need, and we provide new arrivals with living in the UK workshops. Barriers commonly faced by new migrants are childcare, language, qualifications recognition, work experience and cultural knowledge.
Cultural Integration
We frequently host community get-togethers, where local residents can meet with new migrants over a shared meal and learn a little about each other’s lives. We also deliver presentations and workshops to professionals who need to engage with refugees, to help them deliver their services.

Connections that underpin all our activities
Teesside professional network
Our work is focused on tailored support for individuals, taking time to understand the barriers they face and connecting them with people and organisations who can help remove those barriers. Sometimes this can be an individual mentor who will stand beside them, but more often we make use of our excellent connections with local organisations who can offer practical support, particularly in terms of employment opportunities and training.
We are particularly grateful for the ongoing support of Middlesbrough Environment City (MEC) who co-devise activities with us based on the needs of the beneficiaries; The Other Perspective (TOP), a non-profit organisation able to offer practical employment and training; and some local businesses who have listened to us regarding the issues affecting refugees and changed their approach to recruitment - making it much more likely that refugees will be employed.
Our Regional Manager, Bini Araia, has been instrumental in sourcing, developing and nurturing these relationships, and IPC now has an established route into employment for refugees that is unique and effective.
Our funded activities are very successful because of these connections and pathways that underpin everything we do.
Tyneside Capacity Building programme for Refugee Community Organisations. (RCOs)
Local conditions have dictated that we take a different approach in Tyneside, with a greater focus on supporting Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) to build their services to their members and helping them toward sustainability as independent organisations. This is a long term programme for most RCOs, staying attached to IPC for many years as they experience high turnover in leadership personnel and so the training programme is ongoing. As part of this support we help develop the RCOs volunteer management policies so they can deliver more effective projects, and we also recruit and train at least one volunteer for IPC who will provide advice, guidance and information to beneficiaries within that refugee community under instruction and supervision of our Regional Manager, Sirak Hagos.
Through this process we are able to further build trust within different communities who know of IPC through our volunteers, and so we are able to recruit directly into other projects, e.g. our Sports volunteering, bypassing the usual hard to reach community barriers.
The Capacity Building programme is open to all RCOs who serve our beneficiaries and are committed to good practice.
We support them towards good governance, best practice (policy development), and sustainability. This involves a rolling programme of training for the managing committee which builds a depth of knowledge throughout the organisation.
Whilst on this programme we co-deliver activities through an IPC volunteer recruited from within the RCO.
This process widens our reach and strengthens our connection with beneficiary communities, and provides the foundation for all our project successes.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During 2023-2024 we served 1,647 unique beneficiaries, as well as impacting on the well-being of many more through our capacity building programme for Refugee Community Organisations.
Project details
IPC operates a volunteer-led community hub for refugee, migrant and disadvantaged groups regionally (Middlesbrough and Newcastle), providing venues and support for Refugee Community Organisations (RCO) to serve their members. The hubs are a safe place for the beneficiary communities to meet, access training and advice. The hubs host various projects and activities during the day, and activities are also delivered off-site, frequently with partner organisations.
Al these projects are better enabled by the connections that underpin our work, described earlier.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income and expenditure account on page 11 shows the financial results for the year. The organisation has been able to maintain a balance in unrestricted funds of £168,450.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the charity to maintain free reserves at a level which balances our objectives to develop and support services with our need to remain financially stable.
A minimum level of free reserves is defined as 6 months of unrestricted expenditure (core costs) plus 6 months’ salary cost of permanent staff.
Based on 2024-25 projections our current reserves target is £60,000 in free reserves (Core o/h costs - £30,000 / 2 = £15,000 for 6 months) (Core salary costs - £90,000 / 2 = £45,000 for 6 months)
These free reserves may :
maintain the organisation through difficult times, subsidising revenue costs, including staffing, as decided by the trustees.
cover closedown costs, including staffing needs, as decided by the trustees, in the event of the charity being unable to continue.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2024
Trustees will also designate unrestricted funds to be used for anticipated medium term expenditure, including developing and piloting new interventions. This may be for capital or revenue expenditure and will be specified in the notes to the annual accounts. When designating funds trustees will need to consider the levels of reserves for purposes 1 & 2 above.
The level and designation of Reserves will be reported to trustees at each meeting.
The Finance Committee, with adequate consultation of the Board of Trustees, will regularly review the operation of this policy.
During 2023-24, our unrestricted funds have grown from £151,962 to £168,450. This includes the sum of the total free reserves of £56,061 and the sum of the designated funds of £112,389 as listed below:
| Core budget costs | £37,458 |

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND CULTURE
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 which are set out on pages 11 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
-
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INVESTING IN PEOPLE AND CULTURE
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
(continued)
In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. Accounting Policies
- a) The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among people who are refugees, asylum seekers and BME communities who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

The accounts have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’.
