With the continuation of the war In Ukralne, and sweeplng chan8es implemented by the UK Government, we faced thallenges we had never seen before, 35 homele55ness amongst newly recogni5ed refugees grew massively in the last five months of the year. Our organisation has had to cantinue to thange and adapt to external factors, but our mission to provide temporary hosting opportunitles across the UK has remained at the core of everythlng we dD throughaut. This simple mi55ion has a150 beÈn reafflrmed in the work we have done in 2023 Icontlnulng into 20241 to develop our 2024- 2027 org8nisationzl strategy. The last year has seen our voice and impact being noted acr05S thè sector and beyond. culminating In our being chosen as one of the three charitie5 featured In ThÈ Guardian and Observer Christma5 charity appe412023. Support from this appeal and from many other generous donors. including individuals who are metnbers of our Founders Circle and a number of different trusts and found3tlon5, has allowed us to strengthen our financial position. This. in turn, allows us more conlidentlyto p13n for future growth and development.

Cruciallyi we have cantlnued to Invest in our staff, growing to a team of 19 staff members by th@ end of 2023. And we plan to introduce new roles to deliver against our new strategy in 2024 including. crucially. z specialist to help our guests 5ucces5fullv move on from hosting to appropriate long term accommodation.

This Is paired with our Vlslon: A society where every rÈfuEee and asylum seeker facing homelessness has a safe place to stsv and a chance to rebuild their life. The context ofourwork There were considerable changes in 2023 to programmes and external factors which influenced the way In which we work.. Changes to Home Office process.. In August 2023, the Home Office drastically increased the number of ijecisions on asylum claims they were makin8 in order to"clear the 3sylurn backlog" of those who had been waitlng years for a decision. Whilst this should have been a happy and relief-filled moment lor so many as they were on the cusp of belng able to work 3nd start their lives anew, in reality this caused absolute panic for the majority of those we went on to h05t, with people initially being given only seven day5 to leave their asylum accommodatlon. The effect of thi5 change in policy had a rjevastating impact on the oreanisations who support refugee5, Wlth demand far outstripping supply of support. The declslon-tnaklng of the Horne Office at thls pace will continue into 2024. The demand for hosting during thls p2riod has continued to grow. Illegal Migratlon Act.. With Parliament passlng the Illegal Migration Act 2023, our future guests currently in the asylum proce55 are left In continued limbo and it rernain5 unclear what will happen next for them. War In Ukralne.. With the continuation of the war in Ukralne, and untertalnty for those living there or in other parts of the world, we have continued to see a high number of requests for help under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. With other countries around the world tloslng their Ukraine response programmes. we have continued to recelve a high number of referra15 from those looking for sponsors to support their arrival In the UK. Other orEani5ation5 who provide matching services for Ukrainians and UK sponsors have reported a signlfitant decrease in the number of hosts they have available to sponsor. Publlt awarenÈss of and engagement with the Ukraine programmes have significantly decreased since the programme opened in March 2022. Ouractlvltles Refugees at Home connetts hosts wlth a Spare room with refugees and people seeklng asylum who are In need of 50rnewhere to stay. Refugee5 and people seeking asylum are fleeinE war or persecution in thelr own countrle5. But many who come to the UK In search of safety find themselves facing homelessness and destitution. They may be without statutory support for long periods or need some additional help to build new lives in the UK. We don't thlnk people who come to the UK for sanctuary should end up on the streets. We recruit and support volunteer hosts who are willing to offer a temporary home and a helping hand. Our role 15 to carefully match each guest and h05t, to assess and prepare guests and hosts and theck èttommodation, and to provide ongoing support to hosts throughaut each Stav.
