	SORP referenc e
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. We welcomed a new family to the Sevenoaks District and helped them to settle in, bringing the total number we are supporting to 8 families from Syria, 8 from Afghanistan and 36 from Ukraine. 2. We have helped to maintain the number of employed family members to 37. 3. We raised £51k funds (-28% versus year before). £40k (-42% 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 8,500 hours of English Language Tuition over the past 12 months. This has helped 4 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, of whom more than 100 have the necessary clearance to work directly with the families. 7. We continue to work in partnership with Sevenoaks Town Council for Sevenoaks as a recognised Town of Sanctuary.

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 2025 we had exceeded this target significantly, with 8 Syrian, 8 Afghan, and at least 36 Ukrainian families in the district.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	£51k was raised in the year, which while less than previous year, was in line with our targets and enabled us to continue to support the families. Fundraising highlights: Income during the year from two concerts was £11k, the Dragon Boat Race raised a further £3k. Other funds came from a number of other fundraising events (£4k) and cookbook sales (£0.4k). We continued to be generously supported by regular donors (£8k) and were fortunate to receive numerous one-off donations from individuals and organisations (£24k). 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 investments this year.
