INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/members of Worthing 4 Refugees on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 set out on pages 10 to 16.
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 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
No other matter's have come to my attention
-
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 Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRUSTEES REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
OBJECTS & ACTIVITIES
The main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to fulfilling the objects of the charity are as follows:
a) The relief of financial hardship
From the outset of the inauguration of the charity trustees were required to source housing and support the housing costs of the families as part of the Home Office Community Sponsorship scheme. The charity therefore initially committed to providing a monthly top-up to the rent for the families for two years (or until employment is secured, whichever comes first) as their housing benefit does not completely cover the cost of their rent in the Worthing area.
The first family supported by W4R since May 2017 has now achieved financial independence in relation to paying for their housing and general living costs. This has been achieved gradually and has been developed through consistent support and guidance offered by the support workers working with the family on behalf of the charity, and the trustees’ decisions to continue to support the family financially beyond the initial two years stipulated by the Home Office.
The second family supported by W4R has also been financially helped by the charity with a monthly subsidy being paid towards their rent until December 2021. Since this time the family have been able to pay for their own living and housing expenses. The trustees of the charity have agreed to provide an interest free loan for the family to buy a second-hand car to enable the mother of the family to have driving lessons with a view to achieving eventual employment as a mobile hairdresser. A monthly repayment scheme has been set up for the family to repay the loan over a four-year period. This means that they are not overwhelmingly financially burdened by debt, and they can still meet their monthly financial commitments.
West Sussex County Council provided grants to W4R during the period relating to this report, to enable the families to continue with ESOL learning, and for educational activities. Some of this money was allocated to one of the families to pay towards a Primary School residential trip for their child, thereby ensuring that the child could go on the trip and that the family would not be financially burdened by this.
Hampers for the families and presents for the children were donated to the families over the Christmas period in December 2021. Cash gifts were also given to the families at the end of Eid in May 2021 to enable them to celebrate the festival, even though this was limited due to Covid 19 restrictions still being in place.
Both families have continued to be supported by W4R caseworkers in their applications and subsequent ongoing appointments for relevant benefits, and to create a family budget to enable them to live within their income.
b) To preserve and protect physical and mental health
Two trained and vetted social workers, with experience in supporting refugees, volunteer as caseworkers with the charity. They specifically support the families’ practical needs, health and wellbeing, and negotiating aspects such as applying for benefits, registering with GP’s and applying for school places for the children. They also manage other volunteers to assist with the support measures. The time span covered by this report (April 2021 to March 2022) has coincided with the second year of the Covid 19 pandemic. The physical and mental health and welfare well-being of the families has been an ongoing concern for the trustees of the charity during this time of national restrictions, social distancing and potential threat of illness.
In order to try to mitigate the impact of the social isolation brought about by Covid 19 restrictions, two of the adult refugees were encouraged to take up free spaces at a therapeutic garden run by another local charity. They have both attended this provision regularly and have reported an improvement in their mental and physical well-being. A benefit of this activity for both adults has also been the opportunity for them to improve their English speaking and listening skills and to develop friendships.
During 2019 W4R joined forces with another local charity with a view to starting up a monthly drop-in centre for refugees, asylum seekers and their families. This activity was delayed by restrictions brought in to try to suppress the spread of Covid 19. The drop-in centre started in September 2021, and was paused again due to rising levels of Covid 19 in the community in December 2021 and January 2022. The sessions were reinstated in February 2022. This provision is well attended by refugees in the local area, not just those directly supported by W4R. Therapeutic craft activities are provided for children during the sessions which take place after school. All those attending the drop-in centre are able to engage in social contacts and develop friendships with others who have endured similar experiences, which is crucial in preserving and protecting their mental health and well-being.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
(c) To advance the education and training of those granted refugee status and those seeking asylum and their dependants
W4R has supported the education and training of all adults in the families by either providing informal English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) lessons in the home (with childcare support for pre-school children whilst these were taking place), or support to access formal ESOL lessons by local providers. In addition to ESOL classes, volunteer befrienders and ESOL trained teachers provide regular opportunities to practice English conversation and reinforce learning.
West Sussex County Council has provided a grant to specifically support the continuing development of ESOL, education and training for all the refugee family members. Trustees have ensured that this money has been used in appropriate ways to support the families, for example by enabling one adult to continue with a college course that may lead to employment in the future. Money has also been given to enable a child to attend a Primary school residential week with his class. Fares have been paid to enable adults to attend education and ESOL classes being provided in a nearby town, and for them to attend ESOL examinations. Money has also been made available from this grant for top-up nursery fees to be paid so that one of the mothers could continue with ESOL lessons whilst her pre-school child was in nursery. Trustees and the CEO of the charity ensure that this money is spent in ways that directly support the education and training of the refugees being supported, and that this money is correctly accounted for.
d) The provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life
Worthing is a town on the south coast of England and so coastal and park walks are within the vicinity of the families. Those who are able have tried to sustain regular walks for their physical and mental health and well-being during the pandemic, although older and more infirm members of the families have had to remain at home for much of the time.
Various recreation facilities have been accessed by members of the families throughout the period of this report. These include the local swimming pool and a women only gym. Mothers with pre-school children have been able to attend local toddler groups, thereby adding to the social interaction experiences of both the children and the adults.
The men of the families have made social connections with other Syrian men in the town, and value friendship from male volunteer befrienders. These contacts have been restarted in 2022 as the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions have been eased.
All the families have engaged with the drop-in centres that have been run when possible due to Covid 19 restrictions, and have enjoyed taking part in the creative activities offered at these sessions.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees of the charity have had due regard for the guidance on public benefit as issued by the Charity Commission when making decisions or exercising any powers in relation to the Objects of the Charity. The trustees have agreed the following statement: “We the Trustees of W4R have had due regard to the Commission’s Public Benefit Guidance when preparing this report”.
VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTION
There are no paid staff, so all W4R work is undertaken by volunteers. This includes the charity lead, trustees, planning group, ESOL teachers, caseworkers, language interpreters, befrienders, and other general volunteers. The contribution made by these volunteers is immense. They enable outcomes for the refugee families of empowerment and independence, integration and contribution to the community, a sense of belonging, security and safety, hope for the future, and the ability to become a fully functioning member of society. This is by no means an easy task for the refugees who have fled war, have had an uncertain time waiting to be resettled, and then face all the cultural changes and learning the language when they arrive in the UK. The volunteers who have worked with the families have been tireless in their acceptance of them, warm, welcoming, accommodating, empowering and caring. They have on many occasions gone ‘the extra mile’, and as a result the refugee families report that they feel secure, safe, loved and accepted into the community. Without the work of these volunteers, integration and resettlement would be extremely difficult.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
It is evident that one of the main achievements of W4R has been to support refugee families to settle into an entirely new culture, learn a new language and adapt to new societal norms including a different education system for their children, within a few years. That these families have now achieved autonomy, and often have the confidence to navigate their way independently through many of the requirements of life in the UK including benefits, health and education systems, is a testament to the hard work of both the family members and the dedication of the volunteers who have supported them.
The work of the charity is well regarded by West Sussex County Council (WSCC). The charity was asked to partner with the local authority to support a third Syrian refugee family that was resettled in Worthing. This family has been supported by W4R volunteers since November 2019, enabling the development of ESOL and IT skills, making social connections, access to schooling and support to develop educational potential.
During the time-scale of this report (April 2021 to March 2022) global situations have arisen which have given rise to WSCC being tasked with accommodating additional refugees from Afghanistan. Due to the good working relationship between WSCC and W4R, and the high regard that the charity has with Local Authority officers, W4R volunteers have been deployed to support the orientation and settling process for these refugees in the Worthing area. This has been of significant benefit to both the LA and those who have been placed in the local area. The drop-in centre provision has been adapted and developed to enable both Syrian and Afghanistan refugees to meet in a shared and safe environment, thereby enhancing their social contacts and addressing initial fears and isolation, whilst providing orientation support.
It is anticipated that as a consequence of the crisis in Ukraine that started at the end of February 2022, that W4R will need to develop ways of working with and supporting refugees from that conflict who will be hosted by local families in the future months. Plans are already being made to source Russian and Ukrainian speakers and to advise them in how to relate safely and successfully with refugees who have endured the trauma of living in and escaping from a country at war. Drop-in centre sessions will also be planned to accommodate the needs of this new group of refugees. It is anticipated that such a provision will significantly benefit the refugees themselves, the hosts they will be staying with, and the LA in meeting the need to provide orientation and social
The charity runs a website which encourages supporters to sign up for news and prayer updates. These are created and sent out by the project lead and prayer co-ordinator approximately every two months with GDPR compliance ensured. They have prompted donations, and have been very successful when used to source specific donations (e.g., baby equipment, furniture, IT equipment). The website has been successful in generating interest in the work of the charity and recruiting volunteers who are able to support the integration and assimilation of refugees and asylum seekers coming to the local area.
A pleasing aspect of the operation of W4R has been the way in which a good number of local churches have cooperated for the benefit of refugees in the area: Maybridge Community Church continues to host this initiative; the trustee board includes representatives from Elim Church Worthing, Redeemer Church and Maybridge Community Church; and the regular planning group meetings have benefitted from the addition of representatives from English Martyrs Catholic Church and Offington Park Methodist Church. Other local churches remain very supportive. They have requested talks and/or updates for their congregations and in some cases have then donated regularly or given one-off gifts to the work of the charity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Due to the generosity of on-going donors and the receipt of grants from WSCC for the support of ESOL and Educational development for the refugees, W4R is in a strong and viable financial position to enable the work of supporting refugees in Worthing to continue.
RESERVES POLICY
The charity has a reserves policy in operation. The W4R Reserves Policy is as follows: “A reserves policy will be in operation. Annually, the trustees will review the figure required to be in reserves, depending on the situation at hand and bearing in mind projected budgets”
Previously, the Home Office requirement for Community Sponsorship Groups was for financial reserves to be held of £4,500 per refugee adult per year for the period that the Home Office scheme is operational (i.e., 2 years from the date that the family entered the country), so W4R adopted this figure. As this time limit has now expired W4R reviewed and set its own reserves policy at the trustee meeting on the 8th March 2022, and has agreed that £10,000 is to be kept aside for potential future Community Sponsorship as this represents £5,000 each for two adults. An additional figure of £2,000 is also to be added to the reserves as this represents three months of the costs of the operation of the charity.
The reserves held by W4R is a total of £12,000 for this financial year.

FUNDRAISING
The main source of funds for the charity this year has been regular giving, mainly through standing order and cash donations. The charity relies on the giving of local people who are in tune with the charity’s key objectives, that is to create a culture of safety, integration and justice for refugees and displaced people in the Worthing area.
Significant sums of money have been granted to the charity by WSCC and Sussex Community Foundation specifically to support the refugee’s ESOL and Educational development, and the monthly drop-in respectively.
RISK ASSESSMENT
W4R maintains a Risk Register which is reviewed annually, or more often if the need arises. The principal risks facing the charity relate to the vital importance of recruiting sufficient appropriate volunteers to enable the work of the charity to continue, and to the funds to maintain the work of the charity being generated through donations and grants.
TRUSTEE APPOINTMENT
Trustees are appointed by the existing trustees through a process of personal recommendation, informal interview and trustees’ vote.
New trustees are provided with a copy of the charity’s Constitution and given access to past meeting minutes which includes financial updating. Trustees are also made aware of the charity’s policies including the Safeguarding Policy and procedures (this includes the safe recruitment of volunteers), the Complaints Policy, and the GDPR policy and procedures. The charity is a member of Trust Advice (Advice for the Voluntary Sector), which supports charities to remain compliant with all aspects of the law relating to charity status.
ORGANISATION
Worthing 4 Refugees is led by a CEO who was a founder member of the charity and was a trustee for six years, before stepping down from that role in October 2021, although she still attends trustee meetings and continues to work closely with the new Chair of the charity. The CEO remains committed to the work of W4R and developing relationships with the families being supported, and in training and overseeing the work of the many volunteers that are integral to the success of the charity. The charity CEO also ensures that all databases and procedures are audited annually to confirm that they are compliant with GDPR law. The charity lead also takes responsibility for the regular monitoring of policies and procedures related to data, ensuring that all new trustees are aware of these policies. Reporting on GDPR is a standing agenda item at all trustee meetings.
Trustees hold two planned minuted meetings per year. In addition, email or WhatsApp correspondence is used when issues need to be addressed urgently and/or extra meetings arranged. The trustees have appointed a planning group of people with experience relevant to the work and objects of the charity. They also hold minuted meetings approximately every two months throughout the year. This group also includes some trustees, and is empowered to make day-to-day decisions relating to the wellbeing of those being supported by the charity. This includes specific financial expenditure related to providing for the needs of the families being supported. An audit trail is required for any expenditure and this is authorised by at least two bank signatories.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PARTIES
W4R liaises closely with West Sussex County Council’s resettlement team and Adur and Worthing Borough Council. The charity is also a member of Community Works (local support for the voluntary sector), and as such has connection with other local charities and voluntary groups.
W4R is affiliated with City of Sanctuary which is a national charity, and has a connection with many national and local refugee charities. W4R is supported by many Worthing churches both through individual members of the congregation and the church as a whole, and by the local mosque.
W4R also liaises closely with adult education providers in the area such as Aspire and MET Northbrook college.

Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on the going concern basis. The financial statements have been in accordance with accounting standards and comply with Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102); Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Restatement
