1.20|1. We welcomed 3 new families to the Sevenoaks
District and helped them to settle in, bringing the
total number we are supporting to 8 families from
Syria, 7 from Afghanistan and 23 from Ukraine.
2. We have helped to increase the
number of employed family members to
37.
3. We raised £72k funds (+14% versus year
before). £68k (+24% versus year before) was
spent on making grants to Syrian, Afghan and
Ukrainian families in the various government
schemes..
4.Our team of Language volunteers provided in
excess of 7,100 hours of English Language Tuition
over the past 12 months. This has helped 12
members of our families to pass the two required
tests in order to gain British Citizenship, namely
Life in the UK and B1 Secure English Language
Test (SELT).
5. Our dedicated and expanded ‘family teams’
of volunteers continued to support the families in
person when possible and remotely when
necessary.
6. We continued to build our supporter
network to about 1,500 supporters,many of
whom have the necessary clearance to
work directly with the families.
7. We worked in partnership with Sevenoaks
Town Council for Sevenoaks to be awarded
Town of Sanctuary status, which was
completed in June 2023.| 3 **Additional information (optional)** |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 2024 we had exceeded this target
significantly, with 8 Syrian, 7 Afghan, and at least
23 Ukrainian families in the district.| |---|---|---| |P e r f o r m a n c e o f
fundraising activities
against objectives set|Para
1.41|An amazing £72k was raised in the year, far
exceeding our previous targets, reflecting
increased support as a result of events in
Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Fundraising highlights: Income during the year
from two concerts was £13k, the Dragon Boat
Race raised a further £3k. Other funds came
from a number of other fundraising events (£4k)
and cookbook sales (£1.5k). We continued to be
generously supported by regular donors (over
£8k) and were fortunate to receive numerous
one-off donations from individuals and
organisations (over £42k). 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.| |Strategic Review||A Strategic Reviewto guide the next stages of
the development of Sevenoaks Welcomes
Refugeeswas conducted by volunteers, running
from February to June 2023. The volunteers were

review was independent of the Trustees. The
review team volunteers were: Sue Davnall (Team
Leader), Chris Carter, Fran Carter, Penelope
Clarkson, Tisha Goodman, Beverley Hamadeh,
Nicola Marven, Bel Regan, Kim Silver and
Micaela West.
The recommendations of the Review were
accepted in full by the Trustees, who are now
working on the implementation of the
recommendations. The report is 27 pages long,

Responsibilities and basis of report As the charty's trustees. you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan￿ wrth the requirements of the Chaiities Act 2011 ('the Acr). I report in resFect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried OLrt under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Chanty Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Art. Independent I have completed my examination. I confinn that no material matters have examinerfs statement come to my attention in connection with the examination 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 conceming the fomi and content of accounts set OLrt in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a Irue and fair. view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. During my examination, I noticed that there had ￿eft a write off of cook book stocks at year end totalling £553. The Treasurer, who had delegated responsibilty for the issue and sale of cook books, has beèn unable to identrfy the reason for this write dovm. As a result, he has taken direct control of the stock and sales of the poetry book which has recently been published so that this sttuation does not arise in fLrture. I confirm that there are no other matters to whiGh your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be rea¢l￿d.
