RAINBOW HOME (NORTH EAST ENGLAND) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2023, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019).
1. Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the charity are to provide relief, assistance and to promote social inclusion to those seeking asylum; those granted refugee status and any other migrants, and their families and dependents, and in particular such of those said persons who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender, by preventing them from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
(For this purpose "socially excluded" refers to "those who are excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: ill health; disability; unemployment; poverty or financial hardship; race; nationality or ethnic origin; language; gender; sexuality; poor education or skills attainment; being within or having experience of the public care system, detention or prison).
2. Public Benefit Statement
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charities objectives and planning it’s future activities. The trustees have also reviewed the charitable purposes of Rainbow Home (North East England), and the external environment, to make sure the Charity is still relevant and needed. This annual report will aim to demonstrate the link between our charitable activity and how this benefits our service users.
3. Contribution by Volunteers
Rainbow Home members volunteer in various capacities across the region, participating in community focussed activities such as a community cafe. Volunteering provides a range of outcomes including development of social networks, integration and skill development. Our members also volunteer with Rainbow Home activities such as in the delivery of the Winter Well-being Hub.
We are seeking to develop our volunteer offer during 23-24, including further development of volunteer opportunities internally and pathways for members into other opportunities.

4. Achievements and Performance
UNHCR data for the year ending September 2022 shows a total of 72,027 asylum applications in the UK. This is double the number received in 2019. Information from the Refugee Council for 2022 shows that the majority of applications are made “in country” rather than at port of entry. At the end of March 2022 UK Government data showed that 2/3rds of those who applied were still awaiting a decision after 6 months and that had increased to 3/4 of all applicants by the end of March 2023. Information from asylum support organisations in Newcastle show that many people are waiting considerably longer than 6 months for decisions. Both Government and Refugee Council data show that although a high number of initial applications are unsuccessful, refusal rates overall in 2022 were falling, and 76% of cases referred to the Immigration Court were granted.
In addition to the number of asylum seekers in dispersed accommodation in the UK there are a further 51,000 people in hotel accommodation, not included in the figures provided for dispersed accommodation.
Although the Northeast accommodates less people than the larger urban areas in the UK it houses a larger proportion of people fleeing persecution than any other UK region, where the UK average is 8 per 10,000, the NE rate is 20 per 10,000.
The NE region accommodates approximately 2,000 asylum seekers with an additional 1,500 in Newcastle. There are also approximately 600 people in hotel accommodation, the majority of whom are in Newcastle. According to government calculations about 5% of asylum seekers are claiming asylum because they identify as LGBTQ.
The number of asylum seekers contacting Rainbow Home for advice and support has increased from last year and the delays in decision making referenced above means we have a larger cohort of people who have been supported by us for 12 months or more. We are currently working with up to 60 people. A small proportion are those with Leave to Remain who have chosen to remain in the North East who we provide some ongoing support to until they have both income and accommodation.
Added pressures in the immediate future relate to:
-
An increasing number of people are being given LTR for short periods only, from 2.5 to 5 years in a number of cases. For those who are given time limited LTR they are severely restricted about work they can apply for (frequently limited to care work only). This has ongoing repercussions for mental health and prevents people from finally being able to get on with their lives.
-
The lack of accommodation for those who achieve refugee status.
Performance during 2022 - 23
On average 19 to 20 people per month access support from Rainbow Home, for 1 to 1 casework, group support, and initial support following leave to remain.
On average 2 to 3 new referrals are received every month although not all are eligible for the service. Sadly, there are a constant number of asylum seekers awaiting allocation to our worker, with numbers varying from 13 up to 17 people. The number of women accessing the service increased to 5 with a further 3 awaiting services.
At the end of the reporting period, there were 13 people on the waiting list.

RAINBOW HOME (NORTH EAST ENGLAND) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year Ended 31 March 2023
During the pandemic, Rainbow Home inevitably lost touch with a small number of previous members, there are multiple possible explanations for this; including moving on, changes in their status, moving area, change of contact details and a withdrawal from service. During 22-23 efforts were made to re-establish contact.
New methods of communications have also been trialled such as Mail Chimp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and What’s App groups. Rainbow Home have been working towards identification of cohesive methods of communication with a diverse group of people where access to resources can be a challenge and a barrier to participation.

5. Fundraising
We have continued to raise funds. 3 successful funding bids were achieved and the grant from North East Law continued with two more receipts in the year. The grant received included Lloyds Foundation and Newcastle City Council. We have spent most of the Winter Wellbeing fund from Newcastle City Council by the year end, which was the date it needed to be spent by. We have also continued to spend money received in grants during 2021. We completed James Knott, Community Foundation Giving Nets, National Lottery, Allen Lane and Hilden grants from previous years. In June 2022 we returned the balance of funds to “This Girl Can” as we had not used all of it by the deadline.
The successful funding bid from Lloyds enables Rainbow Home to stabilise and develop our staffing structure, with plans to employ a part-time CEO and increase. The funding due in 2023/24 means we know we have enough funds for that year.
6. Investments
We do not hold any listed investments. Any excess money is placed in a savings account with Lloyds Bank, so that we can earn some interest but be able to use it when required.
7. Financial Review
Review of the year
The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
The Receipts and Payments Account for the year ended 31 March 2023 shos net receipts across all funds of £19,318 (2022: £12,171).
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities at 31 March 2023 shows total cash fund carried forward of £71,875 (2022: 52,557) of which there are £4,166 restricted funds (2022: £25,859).
8. Reserves policy
The Trustees consider the level of reserves currently £71,875 and look to hold between 3 and 6 months’ worth of annual expenditure to ensure if there are any running problems and the Charity needs to wind up that there are enough funds to do this. This presently equates to £9,243 to £18,486. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.
9. Future Plans
It is an exciting time for Rainbow Home; plans for 23-24 include strengthening our charity through expanding our work force and recruiting a part-time Chief Executive Officer to work with the Board. Policies and will be reviewed alongside our service offer, now we have secure funding in place.
Development work includes revisiting previous partnership links such as Justice Together Initiative and strengthening our presence and voice across the region as the specialist in supporting SOGI claims.
We aim to develop our volunteer opportunities and to set up an Advisory Board or similar to provide opportunities for our members to have more say in how we deliver services, and provide support to become Trustees. We also hope to develop explore a Peer Support offer collaboratively with our expert by experience members.

Support for people receiving Leave to Remain is also an key area for development, particularly due to policy changes and short turn around for people to find new accommodation and navigate the systems.

12 Statement of Trustee Responsibilities
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The charity trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources. In preparing financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 March 2023
I report on the financial statements of Rainbow Home (North East England) for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 9 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 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
h 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
-
h 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
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
h the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
h the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
h the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
