means:

2) To relieve the needs of people who are displaced as a result of war, natural disaster,
trouble or catastrophe, by the provision of facilities and equipment for comrnunicab'on and
access to infomation.
Publlc benefit
Refugee Info Bus is a public benefit entity. The board of trustees have complied with Section
17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance
on public benefit and believes that Refugee Info Bus fuifils the principles laid out.
Achlevemonts and Parfomiance
The services of Refugee Info Bus have been carried out by the Channel Information Project
{CHIPJ, a project under the management of L'Auberge des Migrants, on the ground in
Northern France during the year following the successful trial period in 2023 where project
delivery was continued by the ground tearn under the new management. Refugee Info Bus
continues to support the important and successful work of CHIP.
Futuro Plans
Refugee Info Bus continues to be committed to working wherever there are refugees who
need our services. The board is excited by the opportunity to continue serving this community
in a new way and is undergoing a review of how Refugee Info Bus can be best placed to do
this and what resources rt requires to deliver this.
Flnancial Review
Income for the year to 31 March 2025 was £11,519 (2024: £17,321) Due to the lack of
operations expenditure was £1.452 (2024: £1,997), made up of ongoing running costs.
Reserve8 Policy
At the year end we have total funds of £54, 734 (2024: £44,667). Our unrestricted free
reserves are £44,298 (2024.. £33,381).
Our reserves policy is to hdd three months of operational costs, we have therefore met our
reserves policy.

We do not have an investment policy. All funds are received and kept in the bank account until
they are spent.
Trustaes. Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, ReF)Ort and the financial statements
in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Stsndards (United
kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practi￿).
Charity law requires trstees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which grve
a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure
for that period. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,.
Observe the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended
Practice (SORP).
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent",
State whether applicable standards, including FRS102, have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
State whether a Statement of Reccwnmended Practice (SORP) applies and has been
followed.,
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charrty will continue its operations.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For
this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial
statements.
Prlnclpal R18k8
The trustees maintain a complete risk register that is updated regularly. We see the principal
risks at p￿sent as inc￿ne reduction due to donor fatigue and the shifting of focus away from
the refugee crises to the war in Ukraine and cost of living crisis in Europe. Also volunteer
safety and safeguarding sepiice users as we continue to work in a very complex environment.
Ind•p•nd•nt Examlnatlon
The charity has not met the income threshold to require an independent examination for the
financial year to 31 March 2025.
