The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law of the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. This must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.

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.

C H A I R M A N & E X E C U T I V E D I R E C T O R

The year 2020-2021 marked the end of the decade with the global shock of the COVID19 pandemic and the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. The refugee and displaced communities in the areas we worked in were amongst the worst affected, as open refugee camps in Greece were closed, completely isolating their residents from the outside world even as lockdown measures were eased in May 2020.

Not only did this limit their access to what scarce services was available to them, but their asylum and reunification applications were delayed, and they were completely cut off from the public healthcare system; tragically, this was the year that the Greek government introduced new laws restricting NGOs and service providers from operating charitable projects in these refugee camps.

As with most of our peers, we were affected by these measures, hindering our ability to do vital outreach work; however, we were overwhelmed by the rise of demand for our services in Athens, which hosts our Greek headquarters where we kept our projects running throughout the year.

Despite the effects on our project delivery and a reduction in the types of services we offered during the year, our retrenchment

in Athens led to growth in our core projects as the number of beneficiaries we served this year increased by close to 400% to more than 47,500.

We closed the year stronger than ever as we prepare for the next stage of growth – scaling up our core projects and expanding their geographic reach in Mainland Greece and the Greek islands.

Our performance during this year has strengthened our position in the Greek NGO community, as local and global NGOs operating in the country acknowledged the adaptability and flexibility of our holistic care model, leading to a rise in active and strategic partnerships and the number of referrals to our projects.

None of this would have been possible without the continued trust and support of our sponsors and donors, to whom I would like to extend my gratitude. Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Goodwill Caravan team for their commitment and resilience and most importantly, on behalf of Goodwill Caravan, I would like to thank our beneficiaries for trusting us and allowing us to be part of their journey to a better life.

RISK MANAGEMENT

As the charity grows as a pro-active, safe pair of hands that vulnerable people can trust – so too must our governance, transparency, risk awareness, safeguarding processes and income generation to ensure we are able to be sustainable, proportionate, ethical and beneficiary centric at all times. This growth has been reflected in the change of the nature of the risks that the charity faces and that the trustees continue to identify, examine and establish risk management and controls systems to manage and mitigate.

Significant areas of risk that the charity faces include:

Fundraising:

As the charity grows, the priority of the trustees and the leadership is to ensure that the charity’s income is sustainable and growing to meet its growth needs over the medium and long term; to this effect, the charity is tapping newer sources of funds from public sector grants to global charitable foundations while continuing to leverage its brand awareness and convert it to income through traditional sources and retail fundraising.

Staff Welfare & Wellbeing

Due to the nature of work we do, the level of demand we face and the backgrounds of the populations we serve and their tragic pasts, our frontline staff and volunteers face enormous psychological pressures and are at a constant risk of second-hand trauma and burnout. Not only does this lead to high staff turnover and operational disruptions, but the adverse effects on staff wellbeing could be severe and enduring.

To address this risk and safeguard our staff, we have put in place training programmes to raise staff personal and psychological awareness and to teach them the necessary tools to handle daily exposure to trauma. Additionally, we enhanced team supervision to monitor such risks and engaged qualified occupational therapists to counsel the team individually and as a group on an ongoing basis.

0 9 | A N N U A L R E P O R T

Regulatory Risk

Over this year, we started to observe a rise in this class of risk as changes in regulation severely affected both NGOs/service providers and the refugee and displaced communities in Greece.

NGOs’ reach and the type of services they could offer became increasingly restricted, and displaced communities’ access to services – such as legal admissibility of asylum claims, access to free healthcare and financial assistance – became increasingly limited as the legal landscape changed.

To address these risks, we increased resources dedicated to our legal and compliance functions, raised our engagement with Greek policymakers and public servants, retained one of Greece’s best known legal and professional services firm and repositioned our core projects so they can adapt to a shifting legal landscape and continue to operate uninterrupted even if the selection of services they offer had to change as a result of regulatory change.

Safeguarding:

As the charity continues to work with the most vulnerable of displaced populations, maintaining the highest safeguarding standards and implementing enhanced policies and procedures is of paramount importance to the board of trustees.

The trustees continue to monitor this risk closely and actively engage with the leadership to ensure that staff, volunteers and partners are well aware of current safeguarding practices and comply with policies in place while we ensure that staff undertake relevant training on an on-going basis.

Data Protection & Security:

Given that we serve thousands of beneficiaries per year, a number of whom have fled their home countries as a result of persecution and human rights violations, it is important that the charity maintains their confidentiality and ensures that their data is secure. To this effect we have invested in our IT infrastructure, implemented cyber security policies, while we continue staff awareness programmes that cover all aspects of data handling and safeguarding.

Additionally, we have commissioned an enterprise resource planning system for the charity that is being built with data protection and security as a main pillar.

Despite the operational and financial challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the year 2020-21 had been a successful one, instead of expanding our projects in Mainland Greece and adjoining countries as has been our strategic plan prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic we concentrated on delivering our core projects in Athens.

While by the second half of the year we had discontinued or put on hold non-core/early-stage projects such as the Access to the Job Market and Accompaniment Bus Service projects, our retrenchment led to substantial growth;

1 4 | A N N U A L R E P O R T

pregnancies and persons recovering from severe psychological trauma (GBV and torture), who may be safe had they moved to remote camps, especially as the number of NGO’s offering Mental Health and Psychosocial Support has declined due to the pandemic and the regulatory shocks of the year.

Once we offered these persons emergency short term shelter in Athens, our Medical Office assisted them in getting the care they needed while our caseworkers found them alternative accommodation closer to Athens.

1 5 | A N N U A L R E P O R T

During 2020-2021 we served 47,500+ beneficiaries in Greece bringing the total number of beneficiaries we served since our establishment in 2016 to 150,000+.

LEGAL AID FOR REFUGEES & ASYLUM SEEKERS

Our Legal Office, one of our core projects in Greece, assists vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in Greece in their applications for protection status, family reunifications with family members left behind in their home countries or those based in other countries in Western Europe and the UK.

The office operates out of Athens and covers Mainland Greece and the islands. It is staffed by asylum lawyers, social workers, interpreters, registration officers and receptionists and focuses on assisting vulnerable refugees throughout the journey from registration as asylum seekers until they are fully integrated in Greece and have the legal right to work as persons granted full protection status.

Did you know?

The chances of success for a refugee handling their asylum application in Greece on their own is no higher than 15%.

The chances of success for those prepared for their asylum interview and accompanied by a lawyer to Greek Asylum Services is higher than 75%.*

CASE STUDY - FAWAZ'S STORY

REUNIFICATION OF UNACCOMPANIED MINOR

Fawaz was only 10 years old when he was separated from his parents while crossing the border between Syria and Turkey. As they were crossing, they were targeted by snipers. His parents told him to run, he managed to flee to safety but that was the last he saw or heard from them.

Once in the Greek island of Samos, he was placed in a detention centre where he had to remain there for 12 months before being reunited with his aunt in the UK.

We took up his case after being contacted by his aunt in the UK, who had herself been supported by GWC in the past and needed our Legal Office’s help to assist in the Family Reunification application.

It is thanks to the tireless work of our lawyers in the Greek islands, Athens and London that this very challenging reunification case was won in December 2020 when Fawaz was finally allowed to travel to London.

Fawaz has finally regained his childhood, as he now lives in London with his aunt and her family and where he goes to the local school, whose football team he has joined.

Picture on the left shows Fawaz in a Greek detention centre in Samos.

EMERGENCY & DETENTION RELEASE SHELTER

The second of our core projects, our Emergency & Detention Release Shelter Project offers shelter to vulnerable refugees and minors who are not safe on their own in camps or are living in the streets - and at risk of sexual abuse and exploitation and potential prey to organ traffickers. The project is also instrumental in securing the release of vulnerable refugees detained in detention centres,

The Shelter Project works in conjunction with our Legal and Medical Offices and collaborates with several NGO’s all over Greece to ensure that beneficiaries receive a full package of care and to ensure that the most urgent of cases are selected. The project caters to the following groups of vulnerable persons:

Unaccompanied Minors and Orphaned Children.

Benefitting from our restructuring initiatives of the prior year, the Shelter Project saw increased growth and flexibility in 2020-21.

As the COVID-19 Pandemic put funding for the humanitarian sector under pressure, leading to less support for refugees during the year and closing a significant number of NGO’s in Greece, a large group of vulnerable refugees found themselves suffering forced evictions and homelessness in early 2021, however as we repositioned our Shelter Project to be flexible and demand-driven, we were able to assess and house a large number of these vulnerable refugees on a short term basis – offering accommodation for an average of 27 days compared to our standard average sheltering period of 201 days.

2 0 | A N N U A L R E P O R T

The result of this was that we sheltered more than 120 beneficiaries , a growth by 35% in the number of beneficiaries sheltered during the year, compared to last year; the large majority of those sheltered were single and widowed mother and their children.

GWC MEDICAL OFFICE

During 2020-21, we established the GWC Medical Office which coordinated all of our emergency medical response activities.

Through working with the Greek public healthcare system and partner NGO’s and private service providers, the Medical Office has three goals:

While the Project was started only in October 2020 and we funded it on a minimal basis from our unrestricted funds, it has met all its stated goals. As during the year, its serviced reached 430+ beneficiaries , 56% of whom were females and 25% were minors.

CASE STUDY - FAUZIA'S STORY

EMERGENCY CANCER TREATMENT SUPPORT

Fauzia is an elderly woman from Syria who was diagnosed with breast cancer soon after her arrival in Greece. Her case was deemed urgent as her tumour was 2cm in diameter. However, try as she may, she was neither able to arrange the tests and scans she needed, nor was she able to see an oncologist to put her on a cancer treatment plan.

Eight months after her diagnosis, she heard about our Medical Office, where she came for an assessment and once we took on her case, we managed to arrange a CT scan, blood tests and get her to see an oncologist, however by then her tumour had doubled in size and the only option available to her at that stage was a mastectomy.

Thankfully, she is cancer free now, but this case goes to show how difficult it is for vulnerable refugees to access the Greek healthcare system on their own even when their cases are critical as Fauzia’s was who might have had more treatment options had she received the medical attention her case necessitated soon after her diagnosis.

BULK AID DISTRIBUTION PROJECT

The year 2020-21 saw a continued increase in demand from what we saw in the prior year, as not only have many NGO’s have closed down, but cash assistance programmes for refugees and asylum seekers became more restricted as in one of our surveys,

40% of respondents reported that their UNHCR cash assistance had been stopped in the prior 12 months.

This meant that the project became one of the last remaining lifelines to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece, which led us to scale up its activities during the year – thankfully, we were inundated by donations-in-kind from generous donors in Greece, the UK and Europe, allowing us to secure inventory for most aid categories needed during the year.

ACCOMPANIMENT BUS SERVICE PILOT PROJECT

The project started in November 2019 to offer transport to refugees living in remote refugee camps in need of transport to Athens for medical and Asylum Services/legal appointments.

Transport alternatives available to these persons were either unreliable, unsuitable/untimely, unaffordable, and most unfortunately, unsafe in some cases as some refugees walked part of the distance to decrease their travel costs, and a number of them were hit by cars while travelling on foot before sunrise. Moreover, to overcome the weaknesses of available travel options, some chose to travel the day before and spend the night sleeping on the pavements in front of hospitals and Asylum Services branches.

Unfortunately, there was no way around the need to travel as these remote refugee camps were cut off from main cities, and nearby village hospitals did not offer all the medical specialities that were needed. Additionally, all matters relating to asylum applications required travel to Athens.

The Accompaniment Bus Service Project was established to address these challenges. It was operated as a 10 month pilot and offered transport to 650+ refugees in 2020-21 in partnership with the International Organisation of Migration and the Danish Refugee Council.

ACCESS TO THE JOB MARKET

While this represented the final stage of our holistic approach to support refugees and displaced communities along their journey to a better life, it was the hardest hit by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

It was funded as a pilot for one year with the purpose of providing beneficiaries with educational and vocational training, employability skills and job placement services, however the project start date coincided with the early weeks of the incidence of the COVID-19 Pandemic, leading to a complete cancellation of some of its activities and a delay in others.

Having said that, when social distancing measures covering schools and colleges in Greece were temporarily eased in autumn 2020, we offered four English language classes delivered by qualified English language teachers. The classes lasted for one semester and benefited more than 50 beneficiaries, 45% of whom were children.

A successful interim approach to help refugees and displaced communities access the job market was our Refugee Works Programme, which assists beneficiaries in gaining all the documentation needed to join the labour force (social security and tax numbers and health certifications) and hire them for 3-6 months each to be part of the GWC team, during which time we offer them on the job training and professional group training sessions before placing them at jobs in other partner organisations such as the IOM and the DRC or offering them long term jobs at GWC.

In 2020-21, we provided training to 20-30 Programme participants in:

OUR PROJECTS IN THE UK

Our team in the UK is responsible for coordinating our fundraising efforts and ensuring strong accountability of the programmes delivered in Greece. A key additional role of the team is to support refugees who have successfully arrived in the UK from Europe through the Dublin Family Reunification scheme thanks to the tireless work of the Goodwill Caravan Legal team

This works includes:

INTEGRATION / FAMILY SUPPORT

We provided post-arrival support to ensure that families and unaccompanied children are equipped with the knowledge they need to start their new lives in the UK.

Last year, we supported seven refugee families who recently arrived in the UK, helping them with their housing applications, advocating on their behalf if and when social services were involved as part of committees with other local authority governing bodies (i.e. police and schools), providing interpreters when needed and assisted in shopping for furniture and all necessities on arrival. We also coordinated private medical care for some of them and welcome food pack assistance on arrival.

ADVOCACY

Our aim is to help transform policies and services for refugees and displaced populations. Through our networks and working closely with other organisations, we have been tirelessly working to bring light to the issues that refugees and displaced populations’ experience.
