- Participation in sector groups such as the BME and Migrant Safeguarding Advisory Group, Legal Aid Action Group, FBIS Engagement group (Home Office) and Refugee and Migrant Children’s Consortium to collaborate on issues impacting on migrant children.
- A research project looking at delays asylum-seeking children face accessing education and school places, co-produced with the Public Law Project.
- A continuation of our partnership with Refugees at Home, providing specialist casework support for young people and families who are being hosted, or approaching hosting organisations and need casework support.
Demand for our services continues to increase, which is likely the result of doing more each year and more people becoming aware of our service and how we support. We continue to take a targeted approach to how we deliver services – Prioritising resources towards children and families in the greatest need, with the most complex situations.
## **Figures for demand/capacity/work achieved (expanded below in achievements)**
We received referrals and enquiries for 690 children in the period. Of those;
- We opened 168 cases for longer term support for 312 children in the period.
- We referred on to more appropriate services for 109 children.
- We provided advice or light support for 194 children in the period.
- • We did not progress referrals for 75 children, due to not being able to contact them / receiving no response following enquiries (7), or during the triage process they were already working with an appropriate service (the remainder).
We provided around 133 practitioner advice sessions in the period. This focuses on providing support to those already working with children to manage those cases themselves, with support from us.
From the last period we carried over 54 open cases for 91 children.
We slightly adjusted how we keep and hold cases open, resulting in a reduction from an average of 18 months to 15 months case open time. There has also been an improvement in decision making times in external systems in some areas, which have also contributed to this reduction. However, delays in Home Office decision making on immigration applications continue to mean that our cases run for a long time addressing the welfare needs that arise from NRPF and being on Asylum Support.

## Section D Achievements and performance
**Casework and service delivery Summary of the main achievements of the charity** Demand has grown in the period slightly on where it was last year, but **during the year** not as marked an increase as in previous years. Our casework delivery continues to shift more towards work with asylum seekers. Our largest and busiest service remains antidestitution casework. We have taken time this year re-working our referral pathways so that we are able to take on children with more complex needs. This has resulted in the development of a referral partnership with Young Lives vs Cancer, which is a positive development towards our strategy of focusing on complexity. We have as a result delivered less general outreach work in settings like Hackney Migrant Centre. We have continued to focus on the development of technology we use, our case management system and integrations so that we can improve efficiency and save time through automating administration as much as possible to maximise impact. Education and access to school delays for asylum seeking children We can a separate project in the year which was a piece of research blended with casework that looked at delays of children in asylum accommodation accessing school and education places. This was a joint project with the Public Law Project and Garden Court Chambers. The report was released in February 2025. This report focused on making changes to the way casework is delivered for this group of children and recommendations around the way accommodation allocation is thought about. As a result of that report, we have intervened in 18 further cases of school delay, promoting education for asylum seeking children. **Training and education** We delivered 4 training courses in the period which looked at migrant children’s rights, welfare casework approaches and awareness of issues impacting on the group. We delivered a presentation for young lives vs cancer focusing on how best to support children affected by migration. **Development of project** We have entered into a new referral partnership with Young Lives vs Cancer. This will be a project that delivers specialist support to children who have welfare issues as the result of their immigration status as well as a diagnosis of cancer. This is running in London and the Home Counties at present and has led to 18 referrals for specialist casework support. This will be further developed and rolled out in the next reporting period. We have continued to work with existing partners including Refugees at Home, outreach centres. Although we note that our referrers diversified quite significantly in the period and included local authorities, health services, other charities and groups and an increase in self-referrals. **Impact**

Section D Achievements and performance
We collect information about our impact through;
• Case Management data – Including the initial assessment and 6-week/12-week review of cases with their caseworker. • Case studies and narrative storytelling. • Consultation with people who use our services. • Consultation with multi-agency practitioners. We have changed the structure of how we collect this slightly. Instead of completing an annual survey of service users and multi-agency practitioners, we now collect that information at the point an enquiry or case is closed. This allows us to gather more contemporaneous feedback and make tweaks to our services more dynamically.
Through our case management data we can tell we;
• Completed Exceptional Case Funding Applications for 46 families, both in-house and through our work with Shearmans. • Placed around 120 families with immigration solicitors to work on their claims (we do not provide immigration advice as a service). • Successfully supported around 140 families access specialist support (Section 17 / Asylum Support) or mainstream support, through advice and advocacy. • Successfully supported 48 young people challenge age decisions that were wrong. • Providing on-going family support which includes grant applications for families (not making grants to families directly), food bank vouchers, working with baby banks, meeting other material needs, home visiting, direct work with children and families. We carried out a total of 3,500 separate actions/activities in this area across the service. • Supported with applications for HC1 certificates, school applications, other practical help. We carried out 1,200 of these actions across our casework. • Made 49 referrals to community care and housing solicitors to take forward cases. These actions mean that children and young people are safer, more informed about their rights and have their welfare support needs better met, within the constraints of being subject to immigration control. One family commented on how things have progressed; _“I passed my Theory and Practical Driving Tests. Now got a DLA Motability car that I now use to take J to activities, appointments and other events. She can’t get enough of her car, she’s always excited to go somewhere. I took her to LEGOLAND last summer holidays. She’s making more progress in her walking. Am applying to further/upgrade my education in Teaching. I still owe all these and more to you. It’s all because of your support and encouragement that we are where we are today._

_Oh not to forget we are enjoying our new home. J enjoys the space, backyard garden.”_
_From F, Parent of a disabled child._
A core part of our theory of change is about addressing issues in a holistic, ecological way so that as well as meeting basic needs and addressing core welfare and safety, families are in a better position to move on from issues of status and destitution for example.
In self-reported feedback (not everyone provided it), the following issues were identified that people felt they needed help with. Again the majority of issued revolved around issues of destitution / housing / access to material support featured in nearly every involvement.
In terms of how those who responded felt things had moved on;
Overall, feedback from families suggests that the majority of work we do has a good impact on multiple areas of their lives, but particularly in accessing immigration support, housing issues, financial issues, which is reflective of our focus on welfare and anti-destitution casework.
In terms of what people felt we could do better; • More activities and groupwork

## erformance p
- Length of time people spend in temporary accommodation.
- Length of time it takes to move on from anti-destitution support.
- Levels of financial support provided under statutory schemes and availability of funds to refer for grants.
## **Access to justice**
Sourcing legal advice for people continues to be a consistent challenge for the service, due to the availability of advisors and solicitors to take on cases. We make an average of 23 referrals before we make a successful placement, taking on average around 3. 5 months. This is still based on our work with the legal aid action group, quite quick compared to other organisations, but nonetheless means that children experience instability for longer.
Our exceptional case funding project on average had a waiting time of around 13 days to start work. With ECF being granted within 50 days of the start of that work. We had no applications refused in the period.
## **Summary**
Overall we have achieved good outcomes in the period for children and young people we work with. We have had to signpost or refer out more children and families at point of referrals due to capacity as well as provide more one off advice and signposted to both families and practitioners.
Whilst case open times mean that we have less capacity for taking on new work, by focusing on children with the highest needs we are planning to expend more capacity working with the most vulnerable children and referring other work out into other advice services.
The next year the service plans to continue to do what it does and fundraise to keep strong our existing services, as opposed to looking at new projects.
We continue to consult children and families in the design and delivery of the work we do, both one on one and in groups, and through case feedback and evidencing through case studies. We plan to improve this further looking at representation of those we work with in our service. Generally, people report being very happy with the service we deliver and evidence that our service is effective at delivering our planned outcomes for children.

- adopted. our hardship fund and our unrestricted funding, around 25% of those donations are regular giving and the remainder one off donations to appeals and specific projects. We would like to thank all those who donate to us.
## **Expenditure**
The majority of our expenditure is salaries and employs family support workers. All positions in the charity provide direct support and casework to children, young people and families and directly contributing to achieving our objects through the provision of casework and family / young person support.
Our hardship fund provided accommodation to families where there was a refusal from a statutory body, allowing challenge to take place on refusals to support. All use of the hardship fund accommodation let to families moving on into statutory accommodation following successful challenges. The other elements of the hardship fund is material support – This has largely included supermarket vouchers to support families to meet needs during these challenges.

**Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)**
## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME**
_This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._
|**Recognition of income**
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria
are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the
SoFA.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when
receivable.
**Support costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
**Volunteer help**
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.
On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and
the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and
included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in
the trustees’ annual report.
**Redundancy cost**
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
**Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
**Donated goods**
**Contractual income and**
**performance related grants**
**Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
**Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
**Legacies**
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
or have been met.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on donations**
**and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the
SOFA.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the
fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In
the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense
at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the
gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any
gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be
measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and
Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits
are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from
charitable activities.
**2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive
obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can
be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
**Governance and support**
**costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories
on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas,
or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.|Yes
