## City of Sanctuary UK 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Introduction** 

City by city, community by community, City of Sanctuary UK is building welcome for people seeking sanctuary*. From community groups to schools and universities, local councils to libraries and theatres, we work with individuals, groups and organisations in every area and sector.  The community groups and streams/awards programmes we support enable opportunities for everyone to play their part in building a more welcoming, inclusive and compassionate society. From small acts of kindness to big political change, our inclusive networks are building a better, fairer, kinder society - for everyone. 

We are working towards the concepts of welcome, inclusion and compassion being embedded across mainstream society, so that wherever people seeking sanctuary go - schools, services, businesses, faith and community groups, their own neighbourhoods and streets, they will find people who welcome them and understand why they are here. Through building a movement of welcome we are improving inclusion and community cohesion for the benefit of everyone. 

* People seeking sanctuary is our preferred term in most contexts as this focuses on people first as opposed to their immigration status. 

## **The charity's objects** 

1. To advance the education of the public in general and in particular the City of Sanctuary network in subjects relating to refugees and those seeking asylum in such ways as the trustees shall think fit in particular but not exclusively by: 

- a Supporting, promoting and organising the City of Sanctuary network, including identifying the needs of the network and establishing projects or resources to address them; 

- b Raising awareness of the work of City of Sanctuary network to the public and media; 

- c Encouraging cities, towns, villages, regions, areas, places, organisations and institutions to become welcome and safe, through the provision of information, advice and support; 

- d Advancing the education and training of people who are refugees or asylum seekers; 

- e Liaising with other private, voluntary and statutory organisations on relevant issues. 

2. The promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit by: promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds including promoting activities to foster understanding between the general public, refugees and asylum seekers. 

## **Our approach** 

To achieve our vision of welcome we work with others to contribute to building an even broader social movement. City of Sanctuary’s networks feed into this broader movement. We believe that a UK that truly welcomes refugees is possible. By bringing people together, celebrating our shared humanity and encouraging people to put their compassion into action, we can build strong, welcoming, cohesive communities. Whilst the networks have the flexibility to determine how best to work towards this vision, the following principles apply to all who are committed to working towards our vision:- 

- 1 Create opportunities for relationships of friendship and solidarity between people living in receiving communities and people seeking sanctuary; 

- 2 Communicate a positive vision of welcome by promoting the counter-narrative to negative rhetoric and celebrating the contribution of people seeking sanctuary; 

- 3 Work with people seeking sanctuary, ensuring that they are not just active participants but are empowered to be part of decision making processes at all levels and in all activities; 

- 4 Promote understanding of asylum and refugee issues, especially by enabling the voices of people seeking Sanctuary to be heard directly; 

- 5 When possible (if your context allows) mobilise support for campaigns which aim to make a difference to the lives of people seeking sanctuary; 

- 6 Facilitate partnership working and network development across places of sanctuary and support collaboration on common cause issues.

## **Our strategic objectives** 

- 1 Provide network coordination and support to the City of Sanctuary network of groups in order to increase the number of groups, bring about an expansion in the activities undertaken and improve the engagement and participation of people seeking sanctuary; 

- 2 Facilitate communications across City of Sanctuary networks to share information, promote a positive message of welcome for people seeking sanctuary and enable the voices of people seeking sanctuary to be heard directly; 

- 3 Develop and promote Streams of Sanctuary and awards work in order to embed welcome within mainstream spheres of society and ensure that people seeking sanctuary are engaged, and can participate, in streams and awards initiatives; 

- 4 Contribute towards movement building through building partnerships, ensuring the participation of people seeking sanctuary and mobilising support for advocacy and campaigning initiatives. 

## **Our main activities** 

To achieve our vision of welcome we work with others to contribute to building an even broader social movement. City of Sanctuary’s networks feed into this broader movement. We believe that a UK that truly welcomes refugees is possible. By bringing people together, celebrating our shared humanity and encouraging people to put their compassion into action, we can build strong, welcoming, cohesive communities. Whilst the networks have the flexibility to determine how best to work towards this vision, the following principles apply to all who are committed to working towards our vision:- 

We provide advice, support, training, vital resources, webinars and collaboration opportunities to support the following:- 

## (i) City of Sanctuary groups 

We now have 123 City of Sanctuary groups in villages, towns, cities and regions across the UK who are working towards our vision of welcome in a variety of ways depending on their context. This flexibility enables grassroots movement building to flourish, although we do have some general guidelines which explain successful approaches. In 2021 we have provided one-to-one advice and webinars to support groups on a variety of areas, including how to undertake welcoming activities (drop in’s, support for new arrivals etc), to work with schools, universities and how to engage with local authorities. We have also facilitated regular regional/national meetings enabling groups to share best practice. 

## (ii) Streams of Sanctuary & Awards programmes 

In 2021 we witnessed an enormous growth of interest in our Streams of Sanctuary and Awards programmes. These programmes have enabled us to be a catalyst and reach out to mainstream organisations to spread a culture of welcome and support. Our work to develop and promote the streams programmes includes facilitating opportunities for 'communities of practices' to come together to embed the concepts of welcome, inclusion and compassion, together with others (including people seeking sanctuary). The Schools of Sanctuary stream is the fastest growing stream, averaging 10 enquiries from schools a week. 

In order to celebrate the organisations who go above and beyond to support and welcome people seeking sanctuary, we have the Sanctuary Awards programmes. Any community group, private organisation, public sector service or other bodies which contribute towards the vision of welcome can apply for the award. Our work in this area includes supporting the appraisal process, which includes ensuring participation of someone with lived experience of seeking sanctuary and an expert in the field. 

## (iii) Local Authority Network 

Since its launch in December 2020 the Local Authority Network has been hugely successful and has engaged with 77 local authorities in its first year (through one-to-one discussions and attendance at one of the four Thematic Network Meetings). We have 18 local authorities officially signed up to the network, 2 having received a ‘Council of Sanctuary Award’ and 16 committed to pursuing the Award. There is a huge potential to further develop this network; its impact is enormous as it is encouraging local authorities to employ strategies, policies and practices that embed welcome, inclusion and compassion.

## **Our main activities  - continued** 

## (iv) Contribution to the movement 

As part of our commitment to building a movement, in 2021 we were proud to become members of the Together With Refugees coalition (as well as continuing to support other coalition campaigns). We were able to mobilise and empower the City of Sanctuary networks to campaign for a more effective, fair and humane approach for people seeking sanctuary. In 2021 we consulted with our networks on our next three-year strategy and there was a consensus that we need to do more to oppose policy and legislation that actively creates an unwelcoming environment and is a very real barrier to our vision. 

## (v) Empowering people with lived experience 

In 2021 we worked to further develop and strengthen the Sanctuary Ambassador Network, it has now become a vibrant, inclusive and creative team of advocates passionate about building a culture of welcome and encouraging others to join the movement for a fair, effective and humane asylum system. We have succeeded in supporting a new generation of Sanctuary Ambassadors who are empowered and equipped to bring the voice of people who seek sanctuary into mainstream society. 

In 2021 we took the opportunity to refine the Sanctuary in Politics Course, creating a handbook and a guide to delivering the course. The course is an innovative learning course developed to empower and inform people seeking sanctuary about how the UK political system works, campaigning techniques and how to work with the media effectively. Guided by experts in the field, this course helps equip a new generation of refugee and migrant leaders to reach their full potential. In 2021, in partnership with the Refugee Council, we delivered the ‘Local Government’ element of the course for participants living in London. 

The Experts by Experience Operational Advisory Group also underwent a review of its terms of reference and appointed new members in 2021. Throughout the year the group influenced how we delivered on our strategic objectives and also inputted into strategy/organisational development. 

## **Our achievements and performance in 2021** 

We have continued online working and have embraced this new way of working which has enabled us to increase engagement with our networks and expanded our reach further into mainstream sectors. We have been able to facilitate far more events, activities and training. Some of the highlights were:- 

4 new resource packs – Schools of Sanctuary, Colleges of Sanctuary, Libraries of Sanctuary and Maternity Stream of Sanctuary (Maternity Pack to be launched in 2022) 

55 webinars and online events held in 2021 (attendance averaged between 60-120 people e.g. AGM and conference attended by 145 on day one and 120 on day two, a University of Sanctuary conference with 22 sessions and attended by 392 people 

2,931 subscribers to our monthly newsletters (newsletters then get forwarded by group and stream leads)

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

## **Asylum Matters project** 

In December 2020 a new charity “Asylum Matters” was registered. It took over the assets, liabilities and activities of the Asylum Matters project on 1 March 2021. The value of net assets transferred to the new charity was £81,247. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year, excluding the transfer of assets to Asylum Matters, was £19,178, including net expenditure of £17,050 on unrestricted funds and net income of £36,228 on restricted funds after transfers. 

We are very grateful for the support shown by all of our funders, several of whom have provided additional funds to counteract the adverse effects of the pandemic. 

Details of grants and donations received are shown in note 2 to the accounts. 

At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus.  The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £158,594. 

The expected reduction in free reserves did not arise due the continued effect of the pandemic. The trustees have decided that the minimum level of unrestricted reserves should be between £70,000 and £140,000, representing approximately 3 - 6 months of annual recurring expenditure. The purpose of retaining the reserves is to enable the smooth running of the charity and to enable an orderly winding up should the charity need to close. The trustees expect the level of free reserves to be reduced in 2022 to less than £140,000. 

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 21 April 2022

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of City of Sanctuary UK 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 

- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
