The relief of financial hardship amongst those granted and seeking refugee status and their dependents living (temporarily or permanently) in Sevenoaks and the surrounding area; 2.

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	1. Although delayed by the pandemic, during the year we were able to welcome a fifth and sixth Syrian family. And we were able to obtain a further two properties and welcome two Afghan families to the district. Towards the end of the year we began work on helping Ukrainian families to find hosts. 2. We have helped to increase the number of employed family members from five to six within the families. 3. Raised £41k funds (+240% versus year before). £32k (+100% versus year before) was spent on making grants to the families. 4.We continued to provide an online Learning Platform along with the relevant IT and robust broadband, which enabled our families to access their learning 24/7, under the guidance of our language team. Wherever possible our Language teams coordinate with Kent County Council Adult Education to support those students enrolled in Trinity College ESOL skills for life exams. This is reflected in most of our students making steady progress towards securing a good understanding of English and reaching the required level of attainment. In some cases remedial support may be required and once identified this is put in place. 5. Our team of 26 language volunteers have delivered an average of 39 hours per week. We have also continued to arrange supplementary lessons planned and conducted by Sevenoaks School and in addition some Sevenoaks students have now joined our Language Teams and assisted with face to face lessons outside of school hours. In addition a number of our language volunteers are offering face to face lessons for some of our new Ukrainian arrivals. 6. Our dedicated and expanded ‘family teams’ of volunteers continued to support the families in person when possible and remotely when necessary. 7. We continued to build our supporter network to over 1000 supporters, including 119 volunteers who had completed DBS requirements by the year end and were able to work directly with the families.

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	On 10th March 2017 the group set a target of helping to get 5 refugee families housed in the SDC area within 3 years, i.e. by March 2020. Following the pandemic hiatus the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth families arrived during the year to March 2022.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	For 2021/22 the fundraising target was £15,000. An amazing £41,964 was raised, reflecting increased support as a result of events in Afghanistan and Ukraine.. Fundraising highlights: Our annual Concert raised more than £9,000 and the Dragon Boat Race a further £5,000. Other funds came from a number of other fundraising events (over £3,000). We continued to be generously supported by regular donors (over £4,000) and were fortunate to receive numerous one-off donations from individuals and organisations, including St Nicholas Church, Fig Tree Estates, the Girdlers Company and others (over £19,000). The Trustees are very appreciative of all donations – of time and donated items, as well as money – and work to ensure that the money is put to good use in support of refugees as they resettle and build new lives in our area.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	The charity made no investment in this year.

3. Financial Review

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Income totalled £41,964 for the year and expenditure was £32,063 producing a surplus of £9,901. Funds brought forward were £13,053 so total funds are £22,954. Of this total £2,466 is a restricted fund for the purpose of assisting landlord recruitment. All funds are held in cash at bank.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity has no employees and all its funds are utilised within the terms of the constitution of the charity. There are restricted funds to assist with securing rental properties otherwise the funds held are free. There is an understanding that the landlords, subject to the availability of funds, may seek reimbursement of expenses of up to £1,500pa. The free funds for general use as a reserve should be £2,000. The funds available for general use should be the balance or the bank account, less the restricted funds, less £1,500 for landlords with a lower limit of £2,000.
