OBJECTS

The objects of the CIO are:

(a) The relief of financial hardship amongst those granted refugee status and those seeking asylum and their dependants living (temporarily or permanently) in Worthing and the surrounding area.

(b) To preserve and protect the physical and mental health of those granted refugee status and those seeking asylum and their dependants.

(c) To advance the education and training of those granted refugee status and those seeking asylum and their dependants in need thereof so as to advance them in life and assist them to adapt within a new community.

(d) The provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of those persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances.

Objectives and Activities

The main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to fulfilling the objects of the charity are as follows:

Relief of Financial Hardship

Throughout the year, we continued our commitment to supporting refugees settling in our community. Our efforts included both direct assistance and referrals to trusted local partners:

3

These acts of solidarity and kindness were made possible through the continued generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners.

Promote and Protect Physical and Mental Health

We continue to place strong emphasis on promoting both the physical and mental wellbeing of the refugee families we support. Our work included regular personal contact, supporting access to healthcare, mental health referrals, and community-building activities that foster a sense of belonging and stability.

● Regular Wellbeing Check-ins

Volunteers made regular visits to Syrian and Afghan families, as well as maintained regular contact with Ukrainian refugees, offering support and monitoring both physical and mental health needs.

● Supporting Mental Health Through Referrals

We referred individuals to specialist local organisations, such as Worthing MIND, which ran some refugee-specific sessions to support mental wellbeing and recovery from trauma.

● Reducing Social Isolation

We actively arranged social connections for families experiencing isolation, recognising the vital link between social engagement and mental health.

● Fostering Positive Community Relationships

We encourage appropriate, natural friendships between volunteers and refugees, always within safeguarding guidelines. Many of our volunteers went above and beyond—taking children to the park, going for walks, or accompanying individuals to the theatre—helping refugees build meaningful local relationships.

● Facilitating Access to Healthcare

We supported many individuals in attending hospital, medical, and dental appointments, often providing transport, translators, and volunteer companions to ensure accessibility and understanding.

● Community Celebration and Emotional Support

We hosted a very successful Christmas party attended by 30 families, offering not only a festive celebration but also an important opportunity for emotional connection, shared joy, and community bonding.

4

Through these initiatives, we continued to uphold our commitment to holistic support, ensuring refugees can access the care, relationships, and services they need to thrive.

Advance Education and Training

We remain deeply committed to advancing education and training opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers of all ages. This year, our efforts focused on both language acquisition and support into formal education, helping individuals gain the skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the UK.

● English Language Support

We continued to offer informal English teaching to all Syrian, Afghan, and Ukrainian families, complementing their formal ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) learning at local colleges.

● Collaborating with ESOL Providers

We liaised closely with other ESOL providers in the area to ensure continuity and accessibility of formal language classes for refugees.

● Launching Our Own ESOL Programme

In a major development, we commissioned a new ESOL curriculum and launched a trial of our own English conversation classes. These sessions are:

The classes have been well attended and are running successfully.

Expanding Access in the Community

In partnership with a local church, we launched a second English class in January 2025 in an area of Worthing with a high proportion of non-native English speakers, improving access to language learning within the community.

● Education Advocacy and Individual Support

5

Our work in education continues to be guided by principles of inclusion, accessibility, and long-term empowerment, giving refugees and asylum seekers the tools they need to build stable, independent futures.

Provision of Facilities for Recreation and Leisure to Improve Conditions of Life

We believe that access to leisure, recreation, and shared social experiences plays a vital role in promoting wellbeing, building community, and improving overall quality of life for refugees and asylum seekers. This year, we offered a variety of opportunities for social connection, relaxation, and recreation.

● Drop-in Sessions and Community Gatherings

● Support for Ukrainian Community Drop-ins

In collaboration with the local Ukraine Support Co-ordinator, we supported bi-monthly drop-in sessions for Ukrainians in the Worthing area, providing space for community connection and support.

● Cultural Cookery Event

In October 2024, we hosted a cookery evening at a local church, where a Syrian refugee enjoyed sharing her culinary skills by preparing a traditional Syrian dish. Ten guests attended, enjoying food, conversation, and community.

● Access to Physical Activity and Fitness

We worked with Southdowns Leisure to secure free three-month gym and swimming memberships for several refugees at Worthing Leisure Centres. For one individual advised by a doctor to exercise for back pain, we successfully arranged an additional

6

three-month extension of the membership.

● Ladies’ Pamper Evening

In January 2025, we organised a well-received pamper evening for refugee and asylum-seeking women. The event included refreshments, games, and beauty treatments such as Indian head massage, hand and arm massage, and manicures. Each attendee left with a goody bag of skincare items—creating a warm, relaxed, and affirming experience.

● Family Half-Term Trip

In February 2025, we organised a half-term trip to Ferring Country Centre for families with young children. A total of 20 participants and 3 volunteers attended, with transport provided where needed. Families enjoyed visiting the animals and sharing a picnic lunch, creating a memorable and joyful day out.

● Ongoing Leisure Partnerships

Our valued partnership with The Lighthouse at Offington Park Methodist Church continues to offer free access to soft play and special school holiday activities. During the Spring half-term break, some of our families also took part in free children’s art classes provided by the centre.

These recreational activities play a crucial role in promoting relaxation, building resilience, and creating a sense of belonging in the community. We are grateful to our partners, volunteers, and donors who make these experiences possible.

Significant Achievements

We continued to employ a part-time Project Manager, and although this included a change of personnel during the year, there was a seamless transition.

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 and the activities that the charity undertakes. The trustees have agreed the following statement: “We the Trustees of Worthing 4 Refugees have had due regard to the Commission’s Public Benefit Guidance when preparing this report”.

Volunteer Contribution

With only one paid part-time member of staff, much of the work of Worthing 4 Refugees work is undertaken by volunteers. This includes the CEO, trustees, planning group, ESOL teachers, caseworkers, translators (we have access to Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian and Russian translators), befrienders, and other general volunteers. The contribution made by these

7

volunteers is immense. They enable outcomes for the refugee families and people seeking asylum 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 or asylum seekers 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 work with the families are 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 refugees and asylum seekers 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.

Gifts in kind and donated services

We recognise with gratitude gifts of office provision and meeting space, as well as photocopying and unclaimed travel costs. We calculate that these have been worth £4,778 to the charity in the year.

Additional Activities

● Exploring property purchase

Looking ahead, one of our strategic priorities is to address the ongoing housing challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers—particularly those arriving through the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Insecure or temporary accommodation continues to be a major barrier to long-term integration, stability, and wellbeing.

We continue to explore sustainable solutions through discussions with the county and borough councils, and other interested parties. One possibility for the future could be a partnership with another charity to provide secure housing for refugees.

● Ongoing Support for Ukrainian Families and Hosts

We continued to provide support to Ukrainian families and their host households, offering practical guidance, emotional support, and signposting to local resources.

● Joint Funding for Ukraine Co-ordinator

In collaboration with two other local organisations, we increased funding to employ a dedicated Ukraine Support Co-ordinator and we have continued to support the post holder in their role.

● Refugee Week Celebrations

To mark Refugee Week, we issued a communication to our supporters and volunteers and shared resources via our website. This included highlighting national Refugee Week activities and local events taking place in Worthing.

8

● Christmas Appeal and Celebration

Our Christmas fundraising appeal raised funds to deliver a festive party and provide gifts for refugee families. The event brought together 30 families and was a joyful and inclusive celebration.

● Volunteer and Staff Training

● Governance Update

There was one change to the Board of Trustees when one Trustee - Lynette Richards - resigned from the Board on 10th October 2024, with our thanks for her service and dedication.

These additional activities and developments have strengthened our operational capacity, deepened volunteer knowledge, and supported our continued commitment to excellence in refugee support.

Financial Review

In the financial year, the charity received total unrestricted income of £27,673 with total unrestricted expenditure of £21,276, resulting in net receipts of £6,397. We also received £1,040 of restricted income for the Christmas Fund and £447 in restricted income for Basic English Conversational Classes. The charity had restricted outgoings of £3,287 for Basic English Conversational Classes, £752 for the Christmas Fund, £385 for Ukrainian families.

The main items of expenditure are the salary of a part-time Project Manager which ensures governance and the smooth operation of the activities of the charity as detailed in this report, and also the fees of qualified ESOL teachers to provide English language classes specifically aimed for the needs of the people the charity supports.

The charity continued to benefit from the generosity of members of the public and local churches, who give regular and one-off donations to support our work.

In particular this year, the charity was blessed with an unexpected and unrestricted donation of £20,000, providing a valuable opportunity to extend our impact. The Board is committed to exploring the most effective and mission-aligned ways to utilise these funds. Currently, we are funding two professional English teachers to run weekly English classes tailored to the specific

9

needs of refugees and asylum seekers, and this remains an important area for continued investment. In addition, we intend to explore initiatives that support refugees in gaining employment, or securing more suitable or sustainable work, as we have identified this as a significant barrier to achieving financial independence. We are also considering the development of a mentoring scheme to help refugees build confidence, access guidance in seeking employment, and receive support in developing or progressing their own business ideas. Together, these initiatives reflect our plans for responsibly and purposefully utilising the funds entrusted to us.

Designated Funds:

£10,000 was designated by the board of trustees for Future Community Sponsorship in the financial year 22-23. At the trustee’s meeting in February 2024 the purpose of this designated fund was extended to cover housing for existing community sponsorship families. To date there has been no spend on this fund though spend is anticipated in the future.

Restricted Funds:

Household Goods is for the purchase of household goods for the refugee families: There was no spend in this financial year.

WSCC ESOL is for the running of English courses: Funds were transferred to Basic English Conversation Classes (BECC) to cover the cost of English courses under this fund.

Christmas Fund is an annual fund raised for presents for the families and also to cover costs of the Christmas party: The majority of the expenditure was on Tesco vouchers and goody bags. As with previous years, donors were notified that any positive balance on the Christmas fund would be transferred to the General Fund. Accordingly, the positive balance on the Christmas Fund of £368 was transferred to the General Fund.

Ukrainian Families is a fund created due to substantial donations received that are restricted to Ukrainian families: No donations were received this year. The expenses were mostly the cost of the ceilidh (£300).

Basic English Conversation Classes (BECC) holds a grant we received from Worthing Borough Council from the CIL Neighbourhood Fund for basic English conversation classes: The income is mostly the contribution of another charity towards the tutor’s fees with the remainder being fees and donations. The cost of running English courses was charged to Basic English Conversation Classes (BECC) in this financial year until the balance in that fund was zero.

Reserves Policy

The charity has a reserves policy in operation. The Worthing 4 Refugees 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” The amount held in reserves should be equivalent to the costs of operating the charity

10

for 3 months. The reserves policy of sufficient funds to cover three months of expenditure means that the charity should be holding £7,629 for the financial year 2025-2026.

After reviewing the charity’s unrestricted funds for the 2024–2025 financial year, the Trustees confirmed that the balance of £32,520 held at 31st March 2025 significantly exceeds our reserves policy requirement of three months’ operating expenditure, equalling £7,629. We therefore intend to gradually spend down this excess - initially by setting a deficit budget of £20,604 for the financial year 2025–2026, followed by reduced deficit budgets in subsequent years. This will allow us to bring our reserves to an appropriate level in a planned and sustainable way over the next few years, with the exact timescale depending on our success in increasing income. All spending will be directed toward advancing our charitable aims and strengthening our impact. At the same time, we will focus on steadily increasing our income year on year to maintain a healthy financial position and avoid any future imbalance between income and expenditure. This approach will support both responsible stewardship and the charity’s long-term stability.

Risk Assessment

Worthing 4 Refugees 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.

Appointment of Trustees

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, which supports charities to remain compliant with all aspects of the law relating to charity status.

There were no appointments of new Trustees in this financial year. There was one resignation of a Trustee, Lynette Richards, who resigned from the Board on 10th October 2024.

Organisation

Worthing 4 Refugees is led by a CEO who was a founder member of the charity and was a trustee until 2021. She attends trustee meetings, working closely with trustees, and is committed to 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, with reporting on GDPR a standing item at all trustee meetings and takes responsibility for the regular monitoring of policies and procedures related to data, ensuring that all new trustees are aware of these policies. Since March 2023 the charity

has employed a part lim8 Project Manager, to whom the CEO will d8legat8 Some of th8 operalic)nal side of the work.
