Achievements and performance
Despite the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on our services and services users during the reporting period , we continue to monitor our performance and focus in terms of social impact and these are some differences we have made in the period:
To increase the capacity of the charity to provide early interventions and reach 95% of newly arrived in the area and other vulnerable AS/R without support.
In last 12 months we reached 1442 including 353 newly arrived through the year. 1198 adults and 244 children and young people, which represent over 98% of asylum seekers and refugees living in North Staffordshire. All asylum seekers with social health or immigration issues were referred within 3 days of first contact and newly arrived asylum seeker children in the area were helped to get a place a school within our target of 3 weeks (Admission process started within 3 days of first contact).
To refer 100 asylum seekers to Refugee Action and British Red cross for destitution and crisis support.
This year 84 service users have been referred to British Red Cross and Refugee Action for destitution support and professional immigration advice. 87 were referred to other services such as GPs and the Mental Health Service
That 90% of Newly arrived ASR would feel less isolated by attending support groups at our centre (Women’s club, Men’s club, sport activities); and 50 most vulnerable and socially isolated will benefit from a mutual befriending scheme with Local community members:
This year was impossible to organise face to face or Women’s club activities, we provided online women social club during the lockdown, where women will first meet for social activities online and then in the last 15 minutes, they will participate physical activities such as yoga online. All ASR women who attended the women’s club online and other support activities over 3 months reported feeling less isolated, have made friends and connections with other ASR online.
The men’s club resumed after the lifting the lockdown in July 2021 by playing football every Saturday at YMCA football. All men and ASR young unaccompanied minors reported feeling less isolated. In addition, all young unaccompanied asylum seeker males reported feeling much less stressed after playing football and having made friends
It was difficult to organise befriending scheme as we used to do because of the COVID-19 restrictions however we linked ASR to other ASR to become friends and support each other during lockdown.
Overall ASR men, women and young people questioned reported increased confidence in managing their issues, improved general wellbeing, and felt able to cope with trauma after 3 months involved with our early intervention project.

Trustees' Report
To support 1000 Asylum seekers through every aspect of their journey through the process.
Beside the lockdown, this year we supported 1442 ASR by providing early information and support in different aspects of their journey e.g :
English classes,
Destitution support (4119 Food distributed at the centre and home delivered), clothes (42 people received clothes), 97 bicycles donated.
19 ASR received cash relief fund
129 supported to understand the asylum process,
84 referred to special immigration advice, ASR provided 272 hours of volunteering at the centre,
170 ASR were supported in digital 280 case work were provided including immigration support and others (mainly by telephone) 464 emotional support were provided through telephone, home visit, walking group, etc.
244 children and young unaccompanied minors were supported through the year (school admission, children club activities online, in parks, youth active pilot project was delivered in partnership with sporting communities (28 young people involved in the project)
To reduce the delay in accessing support / treatment to newly arrived asylum seekers who have suffered past trauma by accessing to accessing to specialist services within 2 weeks
All users who reported having past trauma were assessed by our team within 3 days of first notice and referred to special mental health services straight after their assessment to access to our counselling services and emotional support within a week.
To support 90 newly arrived ASR through early access to English classes, resulting in less isolation and improved English speaking and writing, and 90% progress to next level of English after 12 education sessions.
We were unable to provide English classes as we used to. The English classes were provided remotely with support from our digital support worker.
28 were involved in very challenging online English classes, some use their mobile phone, tablets with slow internet, etc.,…
All ASR reported improved English speaking as result online English classes during lockdown, also reported felt less isolated as they were able to be online with teachers and digital support worker. Among others some teachers reported that:
Teacher1: I have been running weekly class for the Asha students over summer and have mainly been working with Z and H (these two are around intermediate level and have made great progress) Teacher 2: I've been working with D, A, E, J,A students.
They are gaining confidence and their English is improving - but it's hard for me to assess progress with any accuracy. Zoom is ok but they are accessing the classes on their phones so it's not easy.

Trustees' Report
To provide counselling to newly arrived ASR equivalent to 294 hours (in 12 months), to improve their mental health and general wellbeing.
Because of the language barrier, it was impossible to organise face to face counselling, so instead we provided it online, by telephone and sometimes wellbeing walks. Over the year we provided 464 emotional support interventions and all women and men supported reported feeling better, less stressed, happier, and confident to manage their emotional needs.
To reach 90 children and young people.
In the last 12 months we have worked with 244 children:
81% have made significant progress in engagement with school and developed self-esteem and confidence. 5% in progress in engagement with school,
Only 14 % have not yet made any progress because they have just arrived in the area, or have other additional social health issues, as a result more additional support is being provided.
Was difficult to assess social isolation of children during lockdown as the lockdown affected more asylum seeker children as they did not have friends, the charity club was closed, their families do not have internet, TV or computer. To combat this, we managed to distribute tablets and internet and provide online children clubs. The children involved reported being happy, feel less isolated as they could see other children online club. However, this was temporary improvement as after the online club, they did not have any contacts with others and were feeling isolated.
When the lockdown was lifted the young unaccompanied minor asylum seekers who got involved in football reported feel less isolated and as they could meet other on Saturday in football sessions.
To recruit 25 AS/R to connect with local community through volunteering work and peer support at the charity base. And contribute 7800 hours volunteering work in the community in 12 months.
As result for COVID-19 lockdown we were unable to recruit the total number of asylum seekers to do volunteering and complete 7800 hours over 12 months. However, we recruited 9 volunteers and peer supporters and were able to complete 278 hours for 1 day a week were open in outside, and since the lockdown was lifted the number of asylum volunteers is constantly increasing and hopefully if there are no more restrictions, we will be able to complete the 7800 hours by year three.
To train 10 members of Asha staff and volunteers.
All staff and some volunteers have been trained to improve skills and knowledge to support asylum seekers and refugees.
OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) Level 1 Asylum and Protection training was also provided to understand the asylum seeking process and human right protection so that staff and volunteers can effectively support and advise asylum seekers, especially the newly arrived.
To design and distribute a local asylum seekers Welcome Pack
The welcome was designed and distributed from year 1, this year we should have updated it, especially the new local services for asylum, however we did not update it as the lockdown services provisions were not predictable to provide accurate information, so we regularly provided ad hoc COVID-19 information and local services provision changes.

Funding from grants has accounted for 84% of income during this period, the most significant being the highly valued contribution from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund.
Policy on reserves

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
ASHA North Staffordshire meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

ASHA North Staffordshire
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
