governing document|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 living (temporarily or
permanently) in Sevenoaks and the
surrounding area, and previous beneficiaries who
remain in need of support.
2. To advance the education and training of those
granted and seeking refugee status
and their dependents, and previous beneficiaries 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 public in
general, including landlords and local
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
granted and seeking refugee status who have need
of such facilities by reason of their youth, age,
infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social
and economic circumstances
5. To develop the capacity and skills of the
members of the socially and economically
disadvantaged refugee community and those
seeking refugees status within Sevenoaks and the
surrounding area, and previous beneficiaries who
remain in need of support, in such a way that they
are better able to participate more fully in society
including through gainful employment.| 1 ||SORP

and 1.19|We are focused on these tasks:
1. Providing local practical support to refugee
families in our area (e.g. welcoming, help with
learning English, finding jobs, providing lifts,
sourcing necessary household items, making
small grants);
2. Building public understanding of and
support for the Government’s various
Resettlement Schemes;
3. Finding**private landlords**willing to take
part in the government-funded rent payment
scheme, and**hosts**for families from Ukraine.
4. Seeking to influence STC, SDC & KCC

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.| 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 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
