AL REPORT
The trustee5 of the charrty present their annual report and the unaudited financial statements for th8 year
31st March 2024.
Structure. Governance and Managemenl
City of Sanctuary Sheffield Is a Charitablè Irts)rporaled Organisalion, registered charity number 1172694
which was registered wth the Charity Commission on 24 April 2017. Previously the organi5ation was an
unincorporated association govemed by a txjnstilution adopted on 24 August 2011 and r8gistpred 85 a
charity In March 2012. On 30 April 2017 the assets and liabilities were transferred to the Charitable
Incorporated Organisation of the same name, by the same trustee group. The governing document was
amended on 19 June 2019.
The offi￿rS and other trustees. who manage the affair of the organisation, are 2ppointed at ordinary
meetings of the trustees. which are held al least 6 limes a year. Trustees are subject lo reappointment every
three years.
Key changes wlthln the organlsatlon
This year we built up our System Change and Advocacy work alongside continuing to develop strong
partnerships in the city.
A number of new staff ware tsk8n on to fill temporary roles.
We prepared lo move out of our offices, The Sanctuary. to make way for transfomiativ8 building work on the
space.
Objectives and actlvltles
Our Vision, and therefore our charitable objective. is for Sheffi81d trj b8 a place of safety and Wel￿Me for
people seeking sancbjary.
This year we have b$8n abl8 to deliver excellent services alongside people seekir4J sanctuary while 8150
developing our capacity to bring about $yBtemi¢ change for this community.
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a beacon of hope that challenges the envnnment people seeking sanctuary are forced to
exist. Since re-opening its doors in October 2021, il has provided social space where hundreds of people
seeking sanctuary in Sheffield feel safe and listened to.
The Drop-ln
Th8 weekly Dfop-in al victoria Hall brings tog6th8r organisations supporting people seeking sanctuary into
one welcoming and accessible space. The Drop-in is facililaled by City of Sanctuary Sheffield staff and
volunteers, who ensure visitors are greeted, listened to and sKJnposted to the right organi5ation for their
needs.
System Change and Advocacy
This year saw the passing of the incredibly hostite, unjust, costy, and ineffective Illegal Migratlon Act and the
Rwanda Act, marking significant rollbacks of refugee rlghts in the UK. Our mission to build a city that is safe
and welcoming for all is not possible under the current as￿urn and refuge system. Tharefore, we cannot work
with peop18 seeking sanctuary without strrving to change the system they are forced to navigat8.
As adminislration$ prioriti￿ hosts'lty and divislon, our advocacy and system change 18am fight for long-temi
systern change.
