FOREWORD My fellow Trustees and I are delighted to present our report and the financial statements for the year ending 31st March 2024. This year we have
continued to reach out to and work with some of the most vulnerable people in our society, asylum seekers and refugees, despite the ongoing challenges of the complex and everevolving asylum system. We are proud that our small staff team and many volunteers are committed to their work and willingly adapt to the ever-
changing circumstances of our service users.
This Report provides a snapshot of the work of St Chad’s Sanctuary over the year 2023 - 2024 and which we look forward to continuing into next year and well beyond.
Rev Timothy Menezes, Chair
WHO WE ARE
Our history
St Chad’s Sanctuary was born in 2010 from the desire of Sister Margaret Walsh, IJS, to embrace people who were neglected by society. The Salvation Army and the Archdiocese of Birmingham supported Sr Margaret’s vision of welcoming these strangers and provided financial and practical assistance to start the charity. The desire to provide a cup of tea and a listening ear evolved into a wide-ranging operation, as stories were heard and perspectives were altered. In 2023 - 2024 over 2,500 people accessed our services, showing that after nearly 14 years, the need remains and is ever-increasing.
PEOPLE FROM 66 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES VISITED US IN 2023-2024
Our VISION
A world in which people seeking sanctuary are treated with dignity, empathy and respect.
Our Mission
To engage with those seeking sanctuary and offer welcome, services and support.
Our VALUES
Welcome Dignity

Our reference & administration information CONT.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity is a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with a written constiution. The Trustees are the members of the Charity.
Appointment of trustees
The Trustees meet at least quarterly. There must be at least three trustees on the Board at any one time and there is no maximum number. New trustees are appointed by resolution passed by the existing trustees. Two trustees may be appointed by the Archbishop of Birmingham (Currently Rev Fr Timothy Menezes with the opportunity for one more appointment), one by the Provincial Leader of the Infant Jesus Sisters (Nicolas Barre) General Trust in England and Ireland (currently Sr Margaret Walsh), and one by the Chief Executive of Father Hudson’s Care (currently Ms Joanne Watters).
Objectives and Activities
The primary objective of the CIO can be summarised best as relieving poverty and isolation among asylum seekers and refugees in Birmingham and the surrounding areas. Full objectives are available at the Charity Commission. We seek to fulfill our objectives by providing a warm welcome and a dignified process for obtaining practical items and English lessons.

WHO WE ARE
Our Volunteers
Our volunteer team are essential to the successful and compassionate delivery of our services. We have approximately 70 volunteers in our distribution service, with an additional 12 who facilitate the informal classes and 12 more who teach the formal classes of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Volunteers may offer one session per week whilst others offer three or four. We have volunteers from all walks of life from the local area as well as those who have lived experience of migration, plus those still experiencing the asylum process. We are able to offer informal translation services due to the talents of those volunteers who originate from all over the world; on a typical day of distribution we have at least three languages being spoken in addition to English. We hold biannual training days for our volunteers to keep them up to date on relevant topics like safeguarding and changes in the asylum system.
WHO WE ARE
Our Trustees
Each of the 7 Trustees brings different skills to the Board and each one has been allocated a particular ‘link’ with the project, a subject in which they have experience and in relation to which they can assist the Project Manager or staff member. Our aim for this year was to recruit a trustee with financial expertise -James Bemand is now the link Trustee for finance and has meetings about financial matters with the Manager and Financial Administrator. The Board continues to seek members with lived
experience of being an asylum seeker or refugee, as we enjoy having one such person currently and it is crucial to hear their voice at Board level. We are also seeking to appoint a Trustee with a marketing background and interest to strengthen the Board’s knowledge and support the work of the Project Manager and Finance Administrator. To ensure that good quality candidates are recruited, the Trustees continue to use a Trustee Application Form with an associated information pack so that Trustees are fully informed of the expectations and responsibilities of Trusteeship, and they are also invited to visit or even volunteer for a period in the Sanctuary to reach a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys of the work.
Our Staff
Our staff team is dedicated to our mission of welcome. In this period our staff team consisted of:
Manager (F/T)
-
Volunteer and Supporter Coordinator (F/T)
-
ESOL Coordinator & Finance Administrator (25 hr/pw)
-
Practical Operations Coordinator (24 hr/pw)
-
Young Person’s Education Coordinator (6 hr/pw)
-
Outreach Development Lead (new role, commenced October 2023, funded via Brushstrokes Community Project) (14 hr/pw)
All staff are employed on behalf of the Trustees by Father Hudson’s Care (charity number 512992), who are paid for their HR and Management services. We pay a contract cleaner in addition to this.
WHO WE ARE
our supporters
Our work would not be possible without the support of many individuals, parishes, community groups and schools. We welcome donations of practical items which we then organize and distribute; this negates the need to spend money on items. Some of the donations, like toiletries, are new and some, like clothing, are pre-loved.
Supporters hear about our work through our reputation, as we are a trusted, longserving organisation. We also visit parishes and schools to share our knowledge and awareness of the asylum system and the experiences of those living in it. Schools and groups are welcome to visit us for a tour of our building to learn about our work and how it fits into the wider asylum system in the UK. We communicate with our supporters via a weekly Mailchimp newsletter and social media channels.

what we do Clothing 1
We offer clothing to people who have recently requested asylum and who are destitute. Many asylum seekers rely on the small amount of money provided by the UK government, which is just under £50 per week in uncatered accommodation or just under £10 per week in catered accommodation. They do not have enough money to buy clothing so we provide it for free. We operate a drop in on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 1030-1330 where people can visit our dedicated clothing room and choose their items as if from a shop. We believe this agency makes the experience more dignified, which is especially important for those living in the dehumanising asylum system. Whilst they are waiting to visit the clothing room they are invited to have drinks and food, with information available. People tell us not only that they feel better equipped practically after a visit to us, they feel welcomed and respected.
In 2023-2024 nearly 2400 people received clothing from us at least once
‘It’s not easy to be 2 somewhere and to feel relaxed enough to be open with other people because of all the things in my head but I feel supported here and able to open up.’
Volunteering opportunities
Asylum seekers are rarely allowed to have paid employment so their many talents go to waste. We welcome them to volunteer with us to use their talents and fill their time, giving valuable shape and structure to their week with the increased
opportunity to learn the English language and culture. We in turn reap the benefits of their informal translation skills, their vast array of skills and the benefit of their experiences in the asylum system.

what we do
Food 3
We provide food to those asylum seekers who do not have catered accommodation provided by the government. People are able to collect a bag of essential food items every week, the contents of which was developed with service users. The food items we share are either donated by supporters or purchased with restricted grants. We are lucky that Costco allow another charity, St Vincent de Paul Society, to collect food that is close to it’s sell by date which they deliver to us to distribute - this way we receive fresh fruit and vegetables to distribute.
In 2023-2024 713 people received food for them and their families.
Support Services 4
‘It’s brilliant that Brushstrokes are here.’
from a volunteer who is delighted to be able to refer service users for legal help onsite.
We collaborate with other organizations to offer legal support, run information sessions and offer guidance about life in the asylum system. In 2023-2024 we welcomed Brushstrokes
Community Project to provide legal support and also to give talks on public heath matters. We employed an Outreach Development Lead to visit a hotel being used by the Home Office, where we collaborate with Migrant Help and Red Cross and provide activities and community support.
what we do
English lessons 5
In 2023-2024 nearly 100 people attended our formal ESOL lessons
Asylum seekers are not able to access free education at college until they have been in the country for six months. Unable to communicate, people feel confused, rejected and frustrated. We provide formal classes of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for those new arrivals who are keen to learn as soon as they arrive. Our volunteer teachers provide approximately 15 two hour classes a week for four different levels, opening up opportunities and integration to our students.
Friendship and fun 6
We offer social activities which help people to meet new friends, learn about English culture and learn English in an informal way. We have a games club, play sports, organise theatre trips and have biannual parties. For some sanctuary seekers who do not feel able to commit to regular classes these activities offer a gentle yet warm welcome.
what we do
7
Little School
Asylum seeking children are required to attend school in the UK. Finding a school that will understand and accept them however, can be very challenging. Our staff member works with the adults in the family to complete application forms, liaise with schools and understand how the school system works. Until a school place becomes available, the children can attend our weekly volunteer-led classes, allowing them to make friends and transition to spending time away from their parents.
This year, our Little School team helped 40 children from 11 different countries to obtain school places
8 Sharing of knowledge
We share what we learn about the asylum system and the struggles of living within it with interested people in the wider community. Schools and community groups are welcome to visit us for a tour or to host us to give informative talks. We encourage people to see beyond divisive media headlines to seek the truth of harsh realities of migration. This year, the role of our Volunteer Coordinator was developed into that of Volunteer and Supporter Coordinator to better serve the people who are interested in learning more about our vital work.
our financial review
St Chad’s Sanctuary is currently funded with a mixture of private donations from individuals, schools, parishes and businesses, grant and trust funding and donations of practical items and volunteer time. The Salvation Army provides a building currently at a peppercorn rent, and Father Hudson’s Care provides HR, management and governance support, invoicing for part costs and providing a portion in-kind.
The CIO’s organisational income during 2023/24 was £166,859 and the expenditure was £166,414. This shows an increase in income of £53,097 and an increase in expenditure of £36,354 compared to 2022/2023. As expected, financial donations from private individuals, schools, groups and parishes decreased by £12,465 and income from grants increased by £16,500. We gratefully received two legacies totaling £48,781 which accounts for the majority of the increase in income.
The increase in expenditure is due to an increase in levels of salaries; specifically a percentage increase for all staff, in line with inflation plus an increase in the number of hours and therefore salary of one member of staff. The increase is also due to our accounts being prepared on a cash basis which resulted in this year showing 13 months of salary payments, as opposed to 11 in the previous year. We also responded to the need of our service users by spending more money on toiletries and food to meet their essential needs, as well as on bus passes to ensure that our students could attend our classes.
Summary of grants received:
-
Birmingham City Council food fund (Apr - Jun 2023) £2,400 Weston Charity Award £6,500
-
Lord Mayor’s Charity £3,000
-
Birmingham City Council Winter Food Fund (Nov 2023) £5,000 Sanctuary Grant via Birmingham City Council £24,000 Infant Jesus Sisters £10,000
TOTAL GRANTS £50,900
Large private donations
There were 15 donors (individuals and organisations) who donated £1,000 or more during the course of the year, and 3 of these donated between £3,000 and £5,000.
our financial review
Reserves Policy
The CIO has unrestricted funds of £79,150 which the trustees intend to hold as reserves.
Our unrestricted funds are historically high due to the value of donations we received from individuals and parishes who do not restrict their donations. This year we have made use of designated funds to allow for accurate budgeting and planning in line with our strategy. We have designated funds which will meet the known liabilities and financial
commitments of the charity should there be unforeseen events which negatively impact on our finances. This, combined with the knowledge that our activities can be quickly scaled back if our finances are impacted negatively, means that the Trustees are confident this amount of reserves is sufficient to meet any unexpected costs and deem it prudent to hold the above amount in reserve.
Public Benefit Statement
The principal activity of the charity is to relieve poverty among asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Birmingham and surrounding areas. The Trustees have referred to the guidance from the Charities Commission on Charities and Public Benefit. The Trustees are confident that St. Chad's Sanctuary aims and activities are in accordance with the regulations on public benefit.
