Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025. The trustees’ report includes the directors’ report, as required by company law.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

The charity’s objects are specifically restricted to the following:

The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit within communities of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position:

by identifying needs and, where necessary, providing support for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to advance their education, promote their health and well-being and relieve financial hardship; and
by educating the public to promote greater acceptance and understanding of migrants and their contribution to British society.

The trustees review the charity’s aims, objectives and activities each year. This report examines the charity’s achievements and the outcomes of its work during the reporting period. The trustees report on the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to the groups of people it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.

In furtherance of its objectives, the charity organises volunteering activities, provides face-to-face and online English language and employability support, runs well-being activities and events, and promotes British values and art. The charity’s provision this year has been crucial to supporting society’s most excluded groups, newly arrived and those facing hardship due to the cost-of-living crisis, by helping people, most of them elderly and unemployed, continue their education, access services, avoid isolation, and improve their mental health. More details of these activities during the year are provided below.

Achievements and performance

The charity’s primary activities and its beneficiaries are outlined below. All training provided by the charity is designed to support vulnerable individuals at risk of exclusion, particularly those from migrant backgrounds. The focus is on removing barriers to integration through language support and education, while promoting diversity and tolerance. This approach aligns with Migrant Support’s charitable objectives and benefits the public.

 Settle Well Project SWP

The funding provided by RSMP enabled the successful delivery of the Settle Well Project (SWP), supporting newcomers from Hong Kong with BN(O) status to integrate confidently into life in the UK. The programme combined a weekly Life in the UK course with ESOL speaking and listening sessions to build knowledge of British history and culture, improve communication skills, and increase confidence in everyday situations such as using public transport. Participants also took part in a wide range of visits and activities designed to promote cultural learning, well-being, and social connection, including trips to Castlefield Urban Heritage Park and Castlefield Viaduct Garden, Dunham Massey Park and House, Lyme Park, and National Parks in North Wales, as well as local outdoor activities at Seymour Grove Allotments in Old Trafford. Alongside these outings, participants engaged in indoor and outdoor activities, including gardening, arts and crafts, singing, yoga, Tai Chi, and well-being workshops. Older participants (aged 50 and over) benefited from the Yum Cha project, which focused on promoting well-being, confidence, and an active lifestyle. Delivered through a mix of classroom-based learning and experiential activities, and in partnership with organisations such as the National Trust and Seymour Grove Allotments, the project reached approximately 161 beneficiaries. Feedback was consistently very positive, with many participants visiting these places for the first time and reporting increased understanding of British culture, improved confidence, new friendships, a stronger sense of belonging, and progression to further courses. We had recruited approximately 14 volunteers to deliver this project.

 Work Club and Employability projects

Our Work Club ran from 7 October 2024 to 31 March 2025 and delivered 23 sessions, each consisting of three hours of group work plus additional one-to-one support, alongside three extra targeted sessions for ESOL E2, ESOL E3 and ESOL Level 1 learners, all delivered at the Methodist Central Building in Manchester city centre; we also organised three off-site learning days, including a visit to the library to support registration and access to services and a visit to the

Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

Christmas Market to develop communication skills through structured tasks with local businesses. Migrant Support works with people from diverse migrant backgrounds, including long-term asylum seekers and new arrivals from Afghanistan, Ukraine and Hong Kong, many of whom have little or no English, limited community involvement, experience isolation and are vulnerable to exploitation, and alongside our ESOL provision and CL Fund-supported well-being programmes, the Work Club forms part of a holistic model that recognises learners often need sustained, individualised support to build confidence and move closer to employment. Learners are referred to the Work Club after completing other sessions, may be directed to ESOL or employability provision according to level, and are supported through regular sessions, additional coaching and practical guidance on volunteering and job searching, with communication maintained via a dedicated WhatsApp group and referrals coming mainly through self-referral, family and friends, partner voluntary organisations and forthcoming MAES assessments. During this period, 27 regular learners attended weekly over approximately 18 weeks, alongside a group of 36 advanced learners and a further 23 ESOL E2 learners, with provision increasingly focused on higher-level learners and volunteering pathways for retired participants; outcomes included two learners securing paid employment, 46 learners being referred to ESOL courses with the option to sit Ascentis exams, six learners becoming volunteers with LASNET to support the Latin American community, and approximately 40 basic-level English learners being referred to well-being programmes including arts, outdoor activities and performances. One example outcome is a learner from Hong Kong, over 50 and an electrician by trade, who had good English but lacked confidence and UK work experience; through regular attendance, Work Club coaching and referral to ESOL to strengthen his CV, he increased his confidence, applied for roles, secured employment and is now working, sharing his experience with peers. Approximately 86 participants benefited from this provision. We have 11 volunteers supporting this project.

 English Communication Skills, including ESOL provision for BN(O)s

Migrant Support continued providing English (ESOL) classes to BN(O) from Hong Kong this year as part of the HKG BNOs Welcome Grants, provided by Manchester City Council, Salford City Council and Lancashire County Council. The sessions are designed to enhance learners’ confidence in English-language communication and digital skills and ultimately improve their wellbeing and skills for life in the UK. The ESOL provision comprises approximately 20 weeks of individual and group sessions focused on learning English and integrating digital skills, especially for those preparing for Ascentis accreditations. Participants also developed their employability skills and gained the ability to access further education and training through one-on-one and group sessions that covered topics such as writing a CV and completing online job applications, both paid and unpaid. Additionally, learners received support to enhance their ability to interact with essential online platforms, including Zoom, virtual learning environments, and key interfaces like job centres and banks. Moreover, the project increased participants’ knowledge of British culture and values and promoted social cohesion, thereby effectively reducing isolation and segregation. Approximately 90+ learners were engaged in the project in Manchester and Salford, and approximately 45 in Blackpool and Preston. Approximately 56 students took exams at levels Entry 1-3 and Level 1. The funds from the Small Grants for HK BNOs also contributed to the delivery of this project. Approximately 36 learners from Greater Manchester, including Salford, Bolton, Trafford, and Oldham, attended additional well-being sessions part of the Settle Well

Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

project. With a total of 171 students throughout the year face to face and in addition, approximately 26 students benefited from these Entry 1-level ESOL with the online sessions, making a total of 197 of beneficiaries and we recruited 6 volunteers to serve as classroom assistants. In addition to the face-to-face provision. Migrant Support, working in collaboration with LASNET also, delivers weekly online sessions.

Well-being Through Art and British Values Through Performances Community Learning Fund CLF

The Well-being Through Art and British Values through Performances programmes, funded by CLF Manchester City Council, are four 12–14-week courses designed to enhance participants’ wellbeing, skills, and understanding of life in the UK while strengthening community cohesion. Wellbeing Through Art uses a collaborative, hands-on approach to explore themes such as friendship, family, happiness, hope, community, and solidarity through a wide range of artistic media, including painting, sculpting, photography, sketching, embroidery, and drawing, delivered through both classroom and outdoor activities. Participants are encouraged to share their existing skills and knowledge with peers, receive a certificate of completion, and showcase their work in a final exhibition celebrating collective achievement. Alongside this, the British Values through Performances course promotes understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance through an innovative, kinaesthetic, action-based learning approach that helps learners connect these concepts to everyday life in the UK. Approximately 81 participants have engaged with this project, developing transferable skills and improving their well-being and understanding of British Values. We also recruited 12 volunteers from diverse backgrounds to support this project, covering various roles.

Community Support Network - Subregional Lancashire and Cumbria Provision Network and Yum Cha

Migrant Support (MS) and Lancashire Hongkongers CIC (LHKGCIC) successfully delivered a wide range of activities across Lancashire, primarily in Blackpool and Preston, funded by the RSMP. The project aimed to promote cultural exchange, social inclusion, well-being, and community development for BN(O) Hongkongers. The project included approximately 40+ regular social and community gatherings, celebrations of Hong Kong and UK festivals, sports and outdoor activities such as football matches, hiking, and trips to Glasgow, Lancaster, Smithills Open Farm, and Morecambe, as well as weekly game sessions that encouraged social connection. Migrant Support delivered learning and well-being provision through two cohorts of English language and wellbeing courses for Pre-Entry and Entry 1 learners, reaching an average of 18 regular participants per location, as well as Yum Cha well-being sessions, Chinese painting workshops, Chinese medicine talks, gardening activities, and seasonal celebrations. Lancashire Hongkongers CIC complemented this with a consistent programme of community-led events between October 2024 and July 2025, including cultural celebrations, games, sports, and social campaigns. Together, these activities strengthened confidence, well-being, community cohesion, and a sense of belonging, and both organisations aim to continue providing support to BN(O) nationals across the region.

As part of the project, a series of targeted activities was delivered to identify the barriers, needs, and opportunities faced by newly arrived BN(O) Hongkongers in Lancashire, while raising awareness of available services in Blackpool and Preston. The project focused on building community capacity by increasing knowledge on how to establish and sustain community groups, developing an online network to help members stay connected, and encouraging individuals to become peer supporters who could strengthen and expand local networks. Activities included an introductory workshop with partner organisations, focus group sessions, a workshop on legal structures for community groups, and one-to-one conversations with individuals interested in supporting or developing BN(O) community activity. As a result, 30 people are now actively engaged in a BN(O) WhatsApp network across Preston, Blackpool, and Blackburn, and strong working relationships have been established with local organisations and authorities, including Kind Communities, Methodist Churches, Blackpool Library, Groundworks, and Lancashire County Council. The project concluded with a final celebration event in Preston attended by 18 participants, including families and children, helping to lay strong foundations for long-term

Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

community resilience and integration. Approximately 356 participants came from Blackpool, 131 from Preston and 7 from Blackburn. In total, 494 participants benefited from this project throughout its life. We have recruited approximately 16 volunteers for this project.

 Greater Manchester Network Partnership – HK Cultural CIC

Migrant Support worked in partnership with the lead organisation, Hongkongers Cultural CIC, to deliver a series of activities to strengthen the network for BN(O)s living in Greater Manchester. The project delivered a coordinated package of capacity-building, networking, and referraldevelopment activities to strengthen support for BN(O) visa holders. Through the Change Maker Lab, MS contributed to organise sessions to support new and emerging organisations assisting BN(O)s, providing guidance on community project development, funding opportunities, training, best practice, and troubleshooting, alongside tailored one-to-one support and engagement with diverse groups to address service gaps. In parallel, the project worked closely with local authorities, ESOL providers, and VCFSE organisations to develop clear and efficient referral pathways, connecting with an average of two organisations per month to establish streamlined protocols that ensure timely and appropriate support for BN(O) visa holders. The project also actively supported wider networking efforts led by HKCC by responding to BN(O) enquiries, collating and sharing signposting information, contributing to a cloud-based events timetable, attending regular sector meetings, promoting small grants and the Change Maker Lab, and crosspromoting partners’ events and initiatives, helping to strengthen collaboration and coordination across the BN(O) support network. Approximately 55 people from the BN(O) community participated in the Lab workshops. We had 4 volunteers involved in this project.

 Latin American Support Network LASNET – Partnership

Migrant Support worked in partnership with LASNET to deliver a range of community-focused activities, primarily across Greater Manchester. Although LASNET has now become an independent organisation, it continues to work closely with Migrant Support. During the year, staff and volunteers organised conversation groups, language exchange sessions, and well-being activities, including cultural walks and visits to historical landmarks such as Chester. LASNET also strengthened its organisational capacity by developing a new constitution, deepening its partnership with the CLAUK (Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK), and participating in an EU citizens gathering in Manchester. In addition, LASNET peer volunteers contributed to community research through the University of Leeds Care Well project. Overall, approximately 11 volunteers supported the project, reaching around 73 participants.

Volunteering Scheme

Our work would not be possible without the support of volunteers to deliver projects in different areas. As every year, we received support from the University of Manchester and Bolton University, as well as self-referrals from within our courses and activities. Our volunteers serve in various capacities, including as trainee teachers, interpreters, befrienders, peer supporters and teaching assistants.

We recruited and supported approximately 74 volunteers this year. Although UK/EU backgrounds remain the main nationalities of our volunteers, we also have volunteers from other countries, including Ecuador, Hong Kong, Spain, China, and Ukraine. 41% of our volunteers were students, and 33% were unemployed when they started with us. The second main languages, besides English, were Chinese, Urdu, and Spanish.

Volunteers supported a range of activities and roles, from teachers’ assistants and interpreters to art and well-being volunteers, befrienders, admin support, and event organisers. All volunteers received induction and training from our volunteer coordinator, who supported us an average of 3 – 5 hours per week onsite.

Migrant Support continues to encourage diversity within the team; our volunteers come from different cultural backgrounds. They all have different skills, experience, and abilities, most of them in full-time education and some with migrant and refugee backgrounds.

Financial review

This year, Migrant Support received funding from Manchester City Council, Manchester Adult Education Services (MAES), DLUHC/RSMP, CLAUK, which helped us deliver targeted sessions for specific groups during a particular time frame. All these financial contributions allowed Migrant

Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

Support to continue providing our primary services (English language courses, Employability, Digital inclusion and well-being activities, and outdoor classes support) and to return to the organisation’s strength and capacity building. We reached out to several beneficiaries, as we did last year. Still, our main beneficiaries have limited English communication skills and are unemployed; therefore, they have received one-to-one support, extended periods in the classroom, group work, outdoor activities, familiarisation with travelling by local transport, and learning about British culture and history. We intensify the support for the most vulnerable, as we witnessed the financial impact of the cost-of-living crisis in our groups. One of the longstanding targets/aims of our sustainability plan was to achieve accreditation for our English language sessions, which has strengthened us and helped us secure financial support more regularly.

Continuing to be a certified centre for Ascentis to offer accreditation to our ESOL learners, who achieve it, is crucial to securing formal education or employment and also continues to open opportunities to secure financial sustainability for the charity. Thanks to this effort, we became a subcontractor for MAES for the second time to deliver CLF classes, this time to deliver well-being sessions and British Values for the first time. We have also secured further funding for the Lancashire County Council to deliver ESOL for BNOs living in Preston and Blackpool. Migrant Support also became the lead partner for a sub-regional programme to support groups living in Blackpool and Preston, mostly elderly and from BN(O) backgrounds, thanks to support from the Regional Strategic Migration Partnership (RSMP).

This year, we continue implementing outdoor activities for small and large groups to address the growing issue of isolation and the declining mental well-being of our beneficiaries, while embedding History and Culture sessions. We continue working with existing partners and developing new networks and formal and informal partnerships with other organisations, such as the Hongkongers Lancashire CIC, Hongkongers Cultural CIC, Co-operatives Solutions, Olympias Foundation and their music/singing activities.

The organisation continued using the PAYE system for employees who pay the Living Wage; we secured hours for 12 staff members this year, including one based in Blackpool. The relationship with the Greater Manchester ESOL service has strengthened throughout this year regarding referral systems and prospects, confirming our first contract as a CLF provider for the Manchester Adult Education Service, which continues for the second year, 2025 – 2026, and was our target last year. Our target for next year is to successfully become a contractor for Greater Manchester Combined Authority through their procurement system.

Reserves policy

The charity continues to aim to retain reserves equal to three months’ basic running costs, including staff hours and classroom and office rent. Reflecting the number of hours the staff currently work on delivering the projects, the monthly amounts range from £7,000 to £8,500. The charity can keep basic services open with 20 staff hours (pw) and reduced use of the classrooms/office for £6,792 per year. We believe that, given the cost of living, this amount might increase in the next financial year.

The Charity has been mindful of its variable income over the past year and has adjusted its expenditure in line with grants and restricted budgets for projects and contracts with funders. It has been meticulous in tracking cash flow every year. The charity continues to make funding applications and assess commissioning opportunities to secure greater stability in the year ahead, particularly to respond to increased demand from beneficiaries. Three months’ reserves are the

Migrant Support Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 July 2025

minimum appropriate and reflect the average time needed to secure ongoing revenue funding. This policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees and is being met at the end of this financial year.

Plans for the future

The Migrant Support team has shown that, through hard work and commitment, the charity has demonstrated its resilience and determination to work towards a more sustainable future. However, based on our performance during this problematic year with extreme-radical events, and on focusing on our strengths and analysing challenging situations, the charity might face new challenges, economic hardship, and increased demand for our services, particularly now with the latest influx of displaced people from Ukraine and Hong Kong. One of the biggest concerns is still losing the European Social Fund, one of the most consistent funders. However, we are hopeful we will work more closely with local authorities to secure financial support for our provision, particularly for our English classes. We are also working to improve our chances of becoming subcontractors with organisations such as The Grown Company or Ingenus, and of becoming an AEB/CLF provider for MAES. We also want to expand our accredited courses to interpreting and numeracy with Ascentis. We are also considering becoming an OISC-accredited centre to offer immigration advice to our beneficiaries and secure additional funds, such as from the Lloyd’s Foundation. Migrant Support is also committed to supporting other grassroots organisations, such as LASNET and a newly formed community group, to help people from Hong Kong continue to benefit their communities.

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 July 2011 and registered as a charity on 2 June 2016.

The company was established under a memorandum of association that defined the charitable company’s objects and powers. It is governed by its articles of association.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the charity’s assets in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. There are no members of the charity who are not trustees.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 7 to the accounts.

Trustees are recruited from the charity’s supporters and subject to an induction process. The existing trustees co-opt new trustees to the board.

Related parties and relationships with other organisations

The charity became a Living Wage Employer. It continues membership with the Online Centres Network, which includes Learn MyWay and English My Way.

It is also a Disability-Confident Employer and works closely with Jobcentres across the city and Greater Manchester on student referrals.

The charity is also a member of Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO), National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), and Manchester’s local voluntary community sector organisation (MACC).

We are an Ascentis-accredited centre.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel

The charity employed 12 members of staff on a part-time basis this year (from a few hours to regular monthly hours), and all of them were included in the PAYROLL; many delivered an average of 5 hours per week, and continuity was subject to funds. The operations manager, volunteer coordinator and ESOL teachers are all paid above the National Living Wage. The charity also contracts teachers and other seasonal workers who are paid above the NMW and are on our payroll.

The trustee committee is responsible for directly and indirectly planning, directing, and controlling the charity’s activities. The senior management personnel include Sandra P. Rice, Operations Manager. She is responsible for the general management of the charity’s day-to-day activities, supervising staff and volunteers’ performance, and securing financial resources for the charity.

Risk management

The charity trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to manage them.

Funds held as a custodian trustee on behalf of others

The charity trustees confirm that no assets or funds have been held as custodian trustee during this reporting year.

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

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.

Migrant Support meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The Trustees are aware that in recent years MS has been able to build sufficient reserves in line with the commitments outlined in the Reserves Policy. While this was a concern in earlier years, measures have now been taken to address the issue (see below). As a result, the Trustees do not consider MS to be at risk of liquidation and are satisfied that the organisation continues to meet the criteria set out in the Reserves Policy.

In addition, the Trustee team has extensive experience working with small and microorganisations and recognises that MS's position is not unique. Many small and microorganisations face challenges, particularly in their early years of operation, in building reserves equivalent to three months' running costs. The Trustees identified heavy reliance on short-term funding for small projects as a key factor contributing to this concern.

For this reason, three specific actions were implemented in previous years to strengthen the organisation's sustainability. These actions continue to be applied in the current financial year and have become a fundamental part of our operational practice to support the organisation's long-term stability.

a) Funding applications and strengthening administrative capacity

All funding applications continue to include a reasonable allocation for administrative work, PAYE contributions, and management time. A dedicated administrative role has been created and is currently covered by existing staff members through additional hours. This role supports the day-to-day on-site operational workload, allowing management more time to focus on financial planning, organisational development, and fundraising activities.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis (continued)

b) Maximising existing resources and strengthening community capacity MS continues to maximise its resources by focusing on currently funded projects and recruiting volunteers, particularly through peer-support networks, to continue some activities after project funding ends. At the same time, we encourage groups to take initiative and build confidence and capacity so that they can become more self-reliant and continue supporting their communities as volunteers. This can be considered part of the longer-term legacy of our work.

As demand for our services increases, our capacity continues to evolve to meet the needs of the community. However, we remain mindful of the importance of clearly communicating what we can and cannot provide in order to manage expectations responsibly. For example, participants are encouraged to schedule appointments where one-to-one support is required rather than attending on a drop-in basis.

MS has also experienced an increase in beneficiaries who continue to attend sessions despite not meeting the eligibility criteria of specific funded projects. Given the community's needs and the supportive environment created by these sessions, it can be difficult to close these activities entirely.

c) Increasing contract-based provision

MS continues to move towards delivering English and Employability courses funded through service contracts rather than grants. This approach helps to reduce reliance on restricted grant funding and allows some income to contribute towards organisational reserves.

MS continues to offer Ascentis accreditation, which has opened new opportunities to secure ESOL funding not only in Manchester but also in Lancashire this year. We continue to build on these opportunities to secure further contracts, including the continuation of CLF and Work Club contracts in Manchester.

The three actions outlined above continue to stabilise MS's income flow and reduce operational pressure on staff. This approach will allow MS to build meaningful reserves over the medium- and long-term. The organisation remains committed to strengthening its financial sustainability while maintaining current resources, including highly qualified teachers and appropriate classroom facilities and materials, to continue delivering highquality provision in the region.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

Migrant Support

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows.

Office equipment 20% Computer equipment 33%

i Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

j Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

k Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

l Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 6. There were £347 outstanding contributions at the year end (2024: £243).

14 Analysis of movements in restricted funds (continued) Name of restricted fund Description, nature and purposes of the fund

Manchester City Funding from Manchester City Council was for the following projects: Council

The Employment Focus and Work Club offers fast-track, personalised, and holistic provisions to improve the employability skills of those who follow in the 'hard to reach' category, face complex needs and have no or low English communication skills (Pre-Entry levels). Those groups are particularly prone to exclusion from employment opportunities and are at risk of exploitation. We aim to improve confidence in spoken English, digital and employability skills as those elements are profoundly linked and establish a clear starting point for securing employment in the UK. The Employment Focus project also supported unemployed people by offering a progression route to employment and further education through a holistic program for vulnerable people with complex employment barriers and those interested in gaining relevant qualifications to enter the water and utility sector. 2. The HKG BNOs Welcome Grants (Manchester City Council) supported this project mainly but partially. The project aimed to increase learners' confidence in the English language ESOL, digital skills, and employment prospects by undertaking approximately twenty weeks of individualised and group sessions learning the English language and embedded digital skills, particularly for those in preparation for Ascentis accreditations. 3. The Community Learning Fund (Well-being Through Art and British Values through Performances programmes), funded by Manchester City Council, were delivered across four cohorts of 12–14-week courses supporting participants' well-being, skills development, and understanding of life in the UK. Through creative arts and interactive, performance-based learning, participants explored themes such as community, happiness, and British values, including democracy and mutual respect. The project engaged 81 participants and 12 volunteers, fostering skills, confidence, and community cohesion, and culminated in a final exhibition celebrating participants' work. Hong Kong Migrant Support partnered with Hongkongers Cultural CIC to deliver a Cultural programme strengthening support for BN(O) visa holders in Greater Community CIC Manchester through capacity-building, networking, and improved referral pathways. Across four cohorts, the project supported emerging organisations via workshops and one-to-one guidance, while collaborating with local partners to streamline access to services. Around 55 BN(O) participants engaged in activities, supported by four volunteers, helping to enhance coordination and community support.
