Foreword from our Chair of trustees
The UK has been welcoming generations of asylum seekers from East Africa for a very long time. What makes the Da’aro Youth Project (DYP) services unique is our dedication to young, unaccompanied asylum seekers who have endured harrowing journeys to reach the UK; unimaginable emotional and physical trauma. They have lost everything; their dignity, their identity, and everything else they hold dear. Having survived the untold trauma, a lot of them faced after arriving here unparalleled misery and rejection on multiple levels. These pushed some of them to tragically end their life, the great majority of whom were Eritreans. Galvanised by these tragic stories, about thirty mothers from the Eritrean community in south London sprang into action and laid the founding cornerstone of DYP in 2018.
Dehab Woldu and Benny Hunter built on this foundation and created DYP as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in the same year. We owe a debt of gratitude to the many mothers who took that first step and to both Dehab and Benny who have jointly made possible the success DYP continues to enjoy to this day. Behind every success are the devotion and zeal of our volunteers without their help our success would not have been possible. Thank you for all your selfless sacrifices. Thank you to all our staff who have endured the tough and rough side of the work that brought the success we are all proud of.
Da’aro (Sycamore) is a giant tree that holds a distinct and an important status in the Eritrean landscape and way of life. Its majestic branches adorned by its broad evergreen leaves outstretch to shield and protect the community from the burning sunlight. It serves as a focal point where people gather to give or receive justice, a place where the young and the not so young come to tell and equally listen to folk stories, to laugh and play. Local people as well as birds enjoy its sweet fruit. DYP through its casework, advocacy advisory work and through,the Injera Club truly reflects that human spirit of loving and caring; giving as well as receiving help in equal measure. It forms a platform where young refugees and asylum seekers from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan gather for advice, help and support; where they meet friends and create a network of contacts. There are so many untold stories of family reunions and representations assisted by our team – too many to be listed here.
In the year 2022/23 we served 1673 traditional freshly-cooked hot meals to 249 youths at our weekly Injera Club. The club also provides several types of recreational games and it is a great joy to watch them enjoying these activities. Thank you to Fulham Football Club for their support in providing weekly indoor football training sessions during the club evenings as well as giving a tour of their football stadium to a group of our male and female youths. It’s equally a great pleasure to see our youth play music and dance making the club a relaxing place where they can bury their sorrow and hardships however brief it might be.
The short history of DYP 2022/23 has been marked with great challenges and turbulence but through collective effort we have used this adversity to create new opportunities, thanks to the strategic planning, forward thinking and teamwork of our staff and the Trustees.
The financial and management advisory support of our funders has also played a key role in our successes. Appointing our current Youth Project Lead, Sarah Robson, strengthening the expertise of our board of trustees and eventually strengthening our financial standing are marks of our key achievements. This does not ignore the internal challenges we have encountered, the many emergency Trustees’ meetings I have had to call. Words cannot express enough my gratitude to my fellow Trustees. You have given me unstintingly and

without hesitation your time and expertise whenever I needed it. Last but not least I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of DYP to all our supporters and our donors who trusted us with their donated money.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
Introduction
Da'aro Youth Project was established in 2018 by members of the Eritrean community in London in response to the deaths of a number of teenage Eritreans by suicide.
According to the Home Office, Eritreans and Ethiopians together were the largest nationality group of unaccompanied minors to arrive in the UK in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Sudanese minors were the largest nationality group to arrive in the UK in 2020. Eritreans were the third-largest nationality seeking asylum in the UK in 2021. Asylum-seeking children and young adults arrive here after traumatic journeys through the Sahara Desert, Libya, the Mediterranean Sea and after crossing borders in Europe, such as in Calais. Once here, young people often struggle to adapt to new lives separated from their families and find that navigating the complex asylum system can be stressful and traumatic. They face social isolation, discrimination and sometimes even hostility.
We aim to promote the wellbeing of these migrant young people living in the UK, through direct support and through advocating for changes to unfair and discriminatory systems which undermine their wellbeing.
Towards this aim, we currently run two projects for young asylum-seekers and refugees: a weekly youth club and casework support, both involving the Eritrean community in London. We also advocate on behalf of our community by campaigning on issues that affect them. We are particularly focused on issues that impact the mental health and wellbeing of unaccompanied young people.
Youth Activities
We run a weekly youth club in south London for 16-to-25-year-old unaccompanied asylumseeking and refugee children and young people from the Horn of Africa: Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia (and friends from other countries). At Injera Club, young people can socialise with others, play games, pool, table tennis, football and enjoy a home-cooked traditional Eritrean meal. We mark special occasions, birthdays and holidays (such as Eritrean Christmas) at Injera Club by holding extra special parties.
Injera Club is a social space and a safe space – an environment where young people can be themselves for a change away from the stress they have to deal with in their daily lives, where they can interact with their culture and food, and where they can speak to others in their own language. Through the work we do at Injera Club we are looking to build community, improve wellbeing and strengthen the resilience of the young people who attend. Many of our youngsters have suffered trauma during their journeys; they have found hostility after arriving in the UK; our club provides them with a happy, welcoming atmosphere where they begin their recovery. We don’t seek to replace or replicate the help provided by social services and other agencies; what we do is to help individuals holistically, under a single roof, to address their multiple areas of need and suffering.
Number of young people who attended Injera Club - 294 young people

1673 attendances and hot meals served
Average attendance per week across the last 6 months of the financial year - 42
Young people have told us consistently how vital Injera Club is to their life. When they are at the club their loneliness is banished and they feel relaxed, safe, and welcomed. One comment: “When I come to the Injera Club I look forward to eating traditional food and speaking in Tigrinya with the friends I have made.”
Youth Casework Service
Our Youth Casework Service was established in July 2021. The Youth Casework Service is trauma-informed, holistic and responsive to the needs that our community present with. Very often our service users first come forward to us whilst attending our weekly Injera Club; the supportive and relaxed club atmosphere provides them with the confidence to come forward and open up to us. The issues they struggle with could be to do with housing, education, immigration, health and mental health, and family reunion (separation from close family members who are in danger elsewhere in the world). Our caseworkers attend the club and after an initial appraisal of each person’s situation they arrange a fuller one-to-one meeting with one of the casework team.
Our history of supporting young people goes back to our first days, however, before we formalized our support into the Youth Casework Service. From the birth of DYP in 2018 until the end of the 2021 to 2022 financial year we supported in total 78 young people (between 16 and 25 years old) who needed 1-to-1 support, including with advocacy, advice, emotional support and referrals to specialist legal and other third-sector organisations. For those young people we worked on 138 issues (or we call them ‘cases’) – including immigration and asylum issues, social services disputes, housing and homelessness, health and mental health matters, family reunion cases and more. In the 2022 to 2023 financial year we have engaged with a further 59 young people, helping them with a further 88 issues. Only 14 of those issues had not been resolved by the end of the financial year.
We have built up excellent relationships with a wide range of organisations and professionals and this means we can skillfully and efficiently help young people to access specialist services – this includes law firms specialising in “outside of the rules” family reunion and complex immigration matters, community care law firms, homelessness organisations, counselling and mental health support organisations, mentoring and educational organisations and many more. We work hand-in-hand with social services, and advocate for young people when their voice isn't being heard.
Since being established in 2018, our organisation has supported:
16 young people including 5 in this financial year, dealing with criminal legal issues - by giving help access specialist legal support and support when attending court.
52 young people, 21 in this financial year dealing with the housing issue of homelessness by advocating making referrals and providing advice.
28 young people including 8 in this financial year are struggling to access mental and physical health care by enduring their voice and making referrals to support them.

13 young people 3 in this financial year who had been disbelieved about their age. By referring to children’s services to legal support and providing other advice and support.
35 young people 2o in this financial year, dealing with an immigration or asylum matter. By making referrals to specialist legal support.
24 young people 14 in this financial year, in dispute with children’s services by advocating making referrals and providing advice.
5 families who were navigating the inquest process after the death of a loved one by making referrals to specialist legal support and ensuring the voice of the family is heard.
Family Reunion
Da'aro Youth Project specialises in supporting complex family reunion work due to the skills of our caseworkers and the relationships we have built with legal organisations. By the end of the 2021 to 2022 financial year our organisation had supported 21 young people to begin the complex legal process for an ‘outside of the rules’ family reunion application and we had succeeded as part of this in bringing 3 lone children to the UK and reuniting them with their siblings; an older sibling of a man who was blinded; and a mother with her child. Each family reunion case has had a profound and lasting impact on a marginalised young person living alone in the UK. In the financial year 2022 to 2023 we took on a further two family reunion cases: a young mother with her child; and a 15-year-old boy left to die outside a church in Sudan at the hands of people-traffickers – we arranged for him to be reunited in the UK with his older brother, with the help of Islington Law Centre. Once again, or existing relationship with this legal firm was crucial in the success of this case. The scale of our success in these complex situations is particularly remarkable given what a small team we are.
Financial Reserves Policy
DYP is currently dependent on mainly grant funding to sustain its activities. This means that if there were to be a shortfall in grant funding level it is likely that DYP would have to close services.
To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen the Trustee Board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 3 months minimum.
The main concerns of the Trustee Board are to ensure:
-
•that staff can continue working, primarily to secure new funding
-
•that clients are supported to move on to other services
Reserves will be built up from unrestricted income.

Thanks
Thank you to everyone who donated and fundraised for us in 2022 – 2023. Every one-off contribution, donation to a fundraiser, and monthly contributor, has allowed us to grow month on month and continue to support the young people that we support.
We are very grateful to our major funders, without which we couldn't do the work that we do: Choose Love, Manpin Foundation, Do It Now Now, The Lloyds Foundation, Thread Ahead, Money 4 You, and The National Lottery Community Fund.
Governance and Management
Da'aro Youth Project is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
Our governing document is a 'constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees'.
There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of charity trustees is 12. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustee if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum. The majority of trustees must be people who claim Eritrean heritage.
At every annual general meeting of the members of the CIO, one-third of the charity trustees shall retire from office. If the number of charity trustees is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to one-third shall retire from office, but if there is only one charity trustee, he or she shall retire. The charity trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. If any trustees were last appointed or reappointed on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot; The vacancies so arising may be filled by the decision of the members at the annual general meeting.
The members or the charity trustees may at any time decide to appoint a new charity trustee, whether in place of a charity trustee who has retired or been removed, or as an additional charity trustee, provided that the limit on the number of charity trustees would not as a result be exceeded; a person so appointed by the charity trustees shall retire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the date of his or her appointment, and shall not be counted for the purpose of determining which of the charity trustees is to retire by rotation at that meeting.
All of our activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the benefit of the public. The Trustees have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and used this to help them plan current and future activities. The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the Charity at least annually. This report looks at what the Charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The Trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the Charity has brought to those groups of
7
DA'ARO YOUTH PROJECT
Registered Charity no. 1189245
people it was set up to help. The review also helps the Trustees ensure the Charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated charitable purpose.
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
In considering our key objectives, the Trustees have taken into account the following factors:
-
The profile, numbers and needs of asylum-seeking and refugee young people from the Horn of Africa who are at risk in the local area.
-
The provision of accessible, specialist services available to the people we work with within our local area and the gaps in provision.
-
External factors such as changes in national and local government policies and procedures.
-
Feedback from all our stakeholders.
Declarations
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above. Dated approved by the trustee 24/01/2024

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DA’ARO YOUTH PROJECT
Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts
I report on the accounts for the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2023.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent Examination is needed
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charities Commission under section 145(5) (b); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements have not been met;
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act ,or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
