## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st ] April 2022 to 31[st ] March 2023** ## **Charity name: Sevenoaks Welcomes Refugees** **Charity registration number: 1184120** ## **1. Objectives and Activities** ||SORP refer-
ence|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the
purposes of the
charity as set out in
its governing docu-
ment|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are:
1. The relief of financial hardship
amongst those granted and seeking
refugee status and their dependents liv-
ing (temporarily or permanently) in
Sevenoaks and the surrounding area;
2. To advance the education and training
of those granted and seeking refugee sta-
tus and their dependents in need thereof
so as to advance them in life and assist
them to adapt within a new community;
3. To advance the education of the pub-
lic in general, including landlords and lo-
cal authorities, on the issues relating to
refugees and those seeking asylum;
4. The provision of facilities for recreation
or other leisure time occupation with the
object of improving the conditions of life
of those persons who have need of such
facilities by reason of their youth, age,
infirmity or disablement, financial hard-
ship or social and economic circum-
stances; and
5. To develop the capacity and skills of
the members of the socially and econom-
ically disadvantaged refugee community
of Sevenoaks in such a way that they are
better able to identify, and help meet,
their needs and to participate more fully
in society.| 1 ||1|| |---|---|---| ||SORP reference|| |||| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for the
public
benefit, in particu-
lar, the activities,
projects or
services identified in
the accounts.|Para 1.17 and 1.19|We are focused on four tasks:
1. Providing local practical support to
refugee families in our area (e.g. wel-
coming, help with learning English,
finding jobs, providing lifts, sourcing
necessary household items, making
small grants);
2. Building public understanding
of and support for the Syrian Vul-
nerable Persons Resettlement
Scheme (SVPRS) and the Gov-
ernment’s successor Resettle-
ment Schemes;
3. Finding**private landlords**willing to
take part in the government-funded
rent payment scheme, and**hosts**for
families from Ukraine; and
4. Seeking to influence STC, SDC &
KCC policy in order to maximise sup-
port for refugee families in our area.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees
have had regard to the
guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on
public benefit|Para 1.18|All Trustees have had
regard to the guid-
ance issued by the
Charity Commission
on public benefit.| ## **2. Achievements and Performance** SORP reference 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 soci-
ety as a whole.|Para 1.20|1. We succeeded in finding four more
houses for Afghan families, making a total
of 12 Syrian and Afghan families. We
also contributed to helping many Ukrain-
ian families in the area, with practical sup-
port provided to 53 families at various
times.
2.
We have helped to increase the
number of employed family mem-
bers so that at least one person is
now working in most of the fami-
lies.
3. We raised £63k funds (+49% versus
year before). £55k (+95% versus year
before) was spent on making grants to
the families in the Syrian and Afghan
schemes, and supporting Ukrainians.
4.Our team of 49 Language volunteers
provided in excess of 1, 600 hours of
English Language Tuition over the past
12 months. We continued to provide an
online Learning Platform in conjunction
with Kent County Council along with the
relevant IT and robust broadband, which
has enabled our families to access their
learning 24/7, under the guidance of our
language team.
Our Language teams
coordinated with Kent County Council
Adult
Education to support those stu-
dents enrolled
in Trinity College ESOL
Skills for Life exams.This is reflected in
most of our students progressing one
level in each subject (Writing, Reading,
Speaking and Listening) and this is in line
with expectations.
This has resulted in
eight of our students successfully passing
the two required tests in order to gain
British Citizenship, namely Life in the UK
and B1 Secure English Language Test
(SELT)
5. We have also continued to arrange
supplementary lessons planned and
con-
ducted by Sevenoaks School and in
ad-
dition some senior students have joined
the Language Teams and
assisted with
face to face lessons outside of
school
hours.
In addition a number of our language
volunteers are offering supplementary
remedial and homework support for
school aged children.
In total the language team is supporting
six families from Syria, six families from
Afghanistan and eleven families from
Ukraine. (This number had been signifi-
cantly higher however a number of the
Ukrainian families have moved out of|| |---|---|---|---| the area). |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 soci-
ety as a whole.|Para 1.20|6. Our dedicated and expanded ‘family
teams’ of volunteers continued to sup-
port the families in person when possi-
ble and remotely when necessary.
7. We continued to build our sup-
porter network to over 1100 sup-
porters, including 140 volunteers
who had completed DBS require-
ments by the year end, and were
able to work directly with the fami-
lies.
8.On 15 March 2023, Sevenoaks
Welcomes Refugees was named
as ‘Charity Project of the Year’ at
Sevenoaks District Council’s ‘Mak-
ing it Happen’ Community and Vol-
untary Awards 2023 for its work
helping to support refugees from
Ukraine.|| |---|---|---|---| 3 ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |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.
By March 2023 we had exceeded this
target significantly, with 6 Syrian, 6
Afghan, and at least 53 Ukrainian fami-
lies in the district.| |---|---|---| |Performance of

was£22,000. An amazing £62,682
was raised, reflecting increased
support as a result of events in
Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Fundraising highlights: The Dragon
Boat Race raised a further £3,000.
Other funds came from a number of
other fundraising events (£13,000) and
cookbook sales (£4,000). We continued
to be generously supported by regular
donors (over £6,000) and were fortu-
nate to receive numerous one-off dona-
tions from individuals and organisations
(over £37,000). 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
