TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
INTRODUCTION
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 30 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019).
Migrateful is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission (registered number 1180110).
The governing document is a Constitution dated 19[th ] September 2018. Migrateful registered with the Charity Commission on 27[th ] September 2018.
These financial statements cover the year from 1[st] October 2020 to 30[th ] September 2021.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives
Migrateful exists to help the UK’s migrant community on their journey to employment and independence and promote integration.
The objects of Migrateful, as stated in the Constitution, are, for the public benefit:
-
to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society, in particular, but not exclusively, refugees, asylum-seekers and other migrants to the UK, through the provision of:
-
vocational and skills training, work experience, advice and support;
-
social and recreational facilities and events involving the local community;
-
educational and awareness campaigns to encourage the public to generally be more accepting of, and engage with, socially excluded communities.
for the purposes of this clause "socially excluded" means "people who are excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment;

financial hardship; race; gender; poor educational or skills attainment; disability; ethnic origin; religion; belief; creed; or who are within, or have experienced, the public care or penal system".
-
to promote equality and diversity and racial and religious harmony for the public benefit through the provision of:
-
activities to foster understanding and good relations between people from diverse backgrounds.
-
the prevention or relief of poverty by providing: grants, items and services to individuals in need, in particular, but not exclusively, refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants to the UK.
In setting objectives and planning activities, the trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Migrateful runs cookery classes led by migrant chefs struggling to integrate and access employment due to legal and linguistic barriers. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for practising English and building confidence but also for encouraging contact with the wider community and dispelling misconceptions about migrants.
We work with three groups, all facing common issues, but with their own particular circumstances:
-
Asylum seekers: who have no right to work and no recourse to public funds while their cases are considered. As a result, many are destitute and deprived of opportunities to participate in society;
-
Refugees : who have been granted asylum and can legally work, but often still face difficulties. 50% of the 125,000 refugees living in the UK are unemployed, often due to limited English, or because their qualifications are not recognised;
-
Long-term migrants : Some migrants have lived in the UK for many years but are still unable to speak English. Many are isolated and lonely as a result.
For all three groups, being unable to provide for themselves and their families has significant negative effects on self-esteem and mental health. Work is needed on many fronts. First,

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
language barriers need to be addressed, so they are better able to participate in wider society. Building the skills and self-confidence to enable them to access employment is essential to improve their economic conditions. Migrateful provides training, a support network and work experience to help address these issues.
Activities
Training
Potential chefs wishing to join Migrateful go through an initial 10 week training programme. During this time they learn public speaking, gain a food hygiene qualification and learn to become professional cookery class teachers. At the end of the programme, they are well placed to run classes which people are willing to pay for.
Classes
Migrateful cookery classes intend to offer a highly educational experience where participants are invited to learn about a new cuisine, culture and the lives of migrants. The classes have wide appeal, attracting those simply interested in food as well as those wishing to support refugees.
Before the Covid pandemic and the restrictions that ensued, classes were all “in person”, taking place either in public venues such as cafes or in private homes or company offices. They tended to be small groups, with an average of ten participants per class, providing an intimate setting to allow for personal interactions between chefs and class participants. Since the pandemic, we have also offered online classes, where people can join from their own kitchens, guided by the chef. Again, numbers are usually small, so as to retain a sense of intimacy.
Solidarity fund
Our asylum seeker chefs cannot legally be paid. Unable to earn income, many are in dire financial circumstances, unable to afford basic necessities. We are grateful to those grant funders who have provided us with funding to support those in this position. We can offer grants, either for specific one-off items, or for food and basic necessities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Highlights
The start of the year began with challenging circumstances for Migrateful, recovering from the impact of the pandemic, however, it has been a year that has also brought new opportunities and growth. Class numbers continued to grow this year; we continued to offer online classes but also were able to increase the number of in-person classes offered. We took on new venues and began teaching classes in new areas outside London.
New cohorts of chefs were trained in Margate, Canterbury and Brighton and classes will begin in these locations at the end of 2021. We are also continuing classes in our first replication area, Bristol, and will be training a second cohorts of chefs there next year.
This year we also focused on expanding our chef journey, and helping our chefs prepare for futures after their time with Migrateful. We hired a catering entrepreneur manager, to provide further support for our chefs, and prepare them both for employment and to set up their own food businesses. We did this by supporting our chefs to delivery catering events. In the first few months we found demand was high, feedback was overwhelmingly positive and our chefs are gaining valuable experience from these events.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 Impact
Migrateful aims to have an impact in two related areas:
-
Chefs’ employability and wellbeing;
-
Integration.
Chefs’ employability and wellbeing
One of our main goals is ensuring what we offer increases our chefs employability as well as ensuring their wellbeing.
In 2020 we were delighted to be able to employ our former Nigerian chef, Elizabeth, as our Chef Support Officer. Her role is focused on understanding the chefs’ individual needs, constraints and life goals to help us understand how best Migrateful can support them, or, where possible, signpost them to existing support elsewhere. The Chef Support Officer also acts as an advocate for our chefs needs in all team meetings and ensures that our chefs’ voices are brought to the decision making process. She has frequent individual meetings with each of our chefs to not only check on their well-being and any relevant support needs but also to ask about their classes, and seek their feedback and suggestions for future improvements to the class format.
We have also designed an impact measurement tool, in conjunction with our chefs, to enable us to understand more clearly how our two year programme is benefitting our chefs. This was started with our new trainees during the year, so we will be able to monitor their progress going forward.
Integration
Our second goal is to promote integration, and challenge stereotypes around migration. As well as through blogs and other social media platforms such as Instagram, the class model is designed so as to challenge preconceptions.
We have been very fortunate in receiving £100,000 of funding from the Bruno Schroder Trust, which, among other things, will enable us to commission research into the impact of the class model on shifting perceptions and help us hone the model further.

Cookery School
We have long sought a permanent venue - a “home” for Migrateful - to enable us to hold our training sessions and run classes. During the year, backed by the Mayor of London and crowd funded by 820 individual supporters we were able to turn this into a reality.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIOD
It’s an exciting year ahead for Migrateful. We look forward to the opening of our new cookery school, specifically designed for our model of class. The results of the research we have commissioned should provide insights to help us further improve the class experience and maximise our impact. Training will be underway for new cohorts of chefs in Bristol, London and Brighton as well as researching and planning for replication in other areas of the UK.
In summary we aim to:
-
Expand our national reach, offering more classes in our replication areas around the country;
-
Open our cookery school, offer a range of classes to individuals and corporates;
-
Expand our staff team staff to assist with growth;
-
Train one new cohort of 10 chefs in London
-
Offer existing chefs advanced training.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
This Trustees’ annual report and financial statements cover the 12-month period ended 30[th] September 2021.
Migrateful received £745,326 in income during the year (2019/20: £331,863), with £362,141 of trading income from classes and catering (49%) (2019/20: £166,508, 58%), £276,821 from grants (37%) (2019/20: £121,023, 36%). and £84,134 in donations (11%) (2019/20: £44,332, 13%).
In respect of trading income, with the continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic Migrateful offered a mixed delivery model with both online and in person classes available for both individual and corporate customers depending on customer requirements and Covid-19 restrictions.
Grants and donations included £84,467 from a crowdfunding campaign to contribute towards the cost of building the Migrateful cookery school in Islington, including £35,000 from the Mayor of London. The cookery school opened in Autumn 2021.
Total expenditure amounted to £448,746 (2019/20: £232,310), providing a surplus of £296,578 (2019/20: £99,553) for the period. Of this surplus, £72,533 is restricted and £224,045 is unrestricted (2019/20: £27,810 restricted and £71,743 unrestricted).
Total reserves at 30 September 2021 were £437,689, with £119,248 restricted reserves and £318,441 unrestricted reserves (2019/20: £141,111 with £46,715 restricted and £94,396 unrestricted). However, of the unrestricted reserves, £176,161 have been designated (2019/20: £50,000) as follows:
i) £82,772 allocated to the costs of the cookery school (£2019/20: £50,000) ii) £93,389 in relation to a £100,000 unrestricted grant received in August 2021 which will fund specific costs agreed with the grant-maker (2019/20: £0).
This provides general unrestricted reserves (free reserves) of £142,280 (2019/20: £44,396).
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This includes giving due consideration to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on income and expenditure as well as its long-term effect on the charity.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Reserves policy
The trustees have set a reserves policy whereby the free reserves (unrestricted funds) held by Migrateful should be equivalent to three months’ staff and operating costs, which equates to £124,500 (2019/20: £39,500). This provides some stability for the organisation were it to experience a fall in income from class sales and grants.
As at 30th September 2021, free reserves amounted to £142,280 (3.4 months’ staff and operating costs) (2019/20: £44,396) after designating £176,161 as described above (2019/20: £50,000). The trustees consider this to be satisfactory given the relatively early stage of development and future expansion plans of the charity and is in line with their policy.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Migrateful is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission on 27[th] September 2018. At the time of registration, activities were undertaken by Migrateful Ltd, a company limited by shares. All activities and assets were transferred to the charity on 1[st] April 2019. Migrateful Ltd was subsequently wound up. The founder, Jessica Thompson, became the Chief Executive of the charity.
The governing body of the charity is the board of trustees, which comprise eight members. Trustees who served during the period and up to the date of signing these financial statements are:
Mary Locke Nora Bali Amaya Dent Mireille Harper Emily Miller Isabel Sachs Habib Sadat Daljeet Singh
The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing all aspects of governance and risk. Strategy is led by the board of trustees, working closely with the staff team. The staff team, led Jessica Thompson (Founder and Chief Executive), is responsible for the implementation of the strategy and day-to-day operations of the charity.
Trustees are appointed by a resolution passed at a meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting new trustees, the trustees consider the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective running of the charity. Prior to appointment, new trustees are provided with a copy of the Constitution and policies and procedures, together with the most up-to-date business plan and financial statements and forecasts.

Staff
At the year end Migrateful had 4 full-time staff and 9 part-time members of staff. We also have over 150 active volunteers who help with the running of classes, training sessions and office tasks. We are hugely grateful to them for their time, skills and dedication.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
Charity law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting period which give a true and fair picture of the state of affairs of the charity for the income and expenditure for the period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Migrateful
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
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. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
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
-
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:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
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.

Accounting policies
- d) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are those that can be expended at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are those that may only be used for specific purposes. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor, or when funds are raised for specific purposes.
The purposes of the funds are shown in Note 9.
- e) Income
Income is recognised and included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the income, receipt is probable and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Migrateful monitors the levels of unredeemed gift vouchers. Migrateful's gift voucher redemption policy is outlined on it's website: https://www.migrateful.org/gift-voucher/. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with lock down restrictions and customer's appetite to attend in person events, Migrateful did not cancel any gift vouchers during the financial year.
