Trustees Annual Report for the period 1[st] Jan – 31[st] Dec 2025
Those we help
We have received new referrals this year of survivors of modern slavery who have come to our café for both employment and volunteering (if they are still seeking asylum). We are grateful to our referring partners (including Medaille Trust, Hope for Justice, St John of God and the Salvation Army) for continuing to remember our work and introducing vulnerable individuals to us.
We have continued to welcome asylum seekers and refugees to the Just-Ice community, including several from Iran and Sudan. Furthermore, we have strengthened our links with referring partners including Dialstone Lane Methodist Church (situated next to the Britannia Hotel in Stockport which houses asylum seekers), Stockport Baptist Church (which has a significant Iranian community) and local colleges with English as a Second Language departments, including Stockport and Macclesfield. We have made links with Amnesty International’s Stockport branch and the Red Cross Refugee Service in Manchester who have referred refugees to us, some of whom are also survivors of modern slavery.
Three individuals have left us this year after completing our Turning Point programme and moved on to mainstream employment, which has been gratifying. We remain in contact with these people to provide support through our café community and stay aware of their progress. It was especially encouraging to see a young lady from Iran take up a job at a large national bakery chain, using the exact skills and experience she had learned at Just-Ice!
Our services
We are grateful to our staff, volunteers and trustees who have continued to skilfully support our beneficiaries in many areas including:
-
Providing trauma-informed care
-
Training in hospitality
-
Gaining qualifications
-
Practical support whilst in temporary accommodation
-
Help finding permanent housing at the point of leaving government-provided accommodation
-
Mentoring
-
Emotional support as part of a warm and welcoming community
-
English language one to one tutoring
-
CV writing and job applications
-
Social opportunities and events to experience British culture and to help integrate into our local community.
A highlight in late 2025 was being alongside a delightful family from Central America when they received their positive ‘leave to remain’ decision after a six year wait. The family was well known to us, both husband and wife having been with us in the café as volunteers for two years, and we had advocated for their asylum case with their local MP. The outcome meant Just-Ice could now support the family with various financial matters such as opening bank accounts and registering for benefits, finding privately rented housing through our links with sympathetic local estate agents, and employment in the café. We held a joyful celebration with them to share the good news amongst our café community!
It has been especially encouraging that both of these individuals remain employed by Just-Ice and are now mentoring other refugees/victims of modern slavery who have joined us more recently. They both have a particular affinity with our trauma-damaged trafficking and slavery survivors and the impact of support from those with ‘lived experience’ has been eye opening.
Funding
Trading income grew by around 15% on the previous year as the café became better known in the region and due to good summer weather.
The environment around grant funding from Trusts & Foundations was challenging, but we did secure several grants towards our work and we are extremely grateful to those funders including:
The Albert Gubay Foundation
The Lloyds Foundation
The Zochonis Charitable Trust
The Souter Charitable Trust
The Fyrish Foundation
The Grocers Charity
The Thomas Wall Trust
The Society of the Holy Child Jesus
The Richer Sounds Foundation
The Forrester Family Trust
The Pat Newman Memorial Trust
Donations increased to £57,279 in the year and the increase in the number of regular givers is especially encouraging. We attribute this to the fundraising training provided by the Lloyds Foundation in late 2024.
Trustees
We are grateful to have had a sound and committed Board of Trustees during the year.
Revd Christine Buckley stepped down as a trustee in the autumn, after a term of four years. We benefited greatly from her wisdom and experience and thank her for her service.
However, with only three trustees remaining, efforts began to recruit additional trustees with suitable experience and the capacity to support Just-Ice. We’re delighted that these efforts are now bearing fruit.
Staff and Volunteers
Our team of employed staff was strengthened further in 2025 with the addition of a new part-time Assistant Manager (who has ‘lived experience’ as a former asylum seeker himself). Regular team meetings and quarterly wellbeing support group sessions have also continued.
Just-Ice has benefitted from developing a summer team of part time, flexible employees to call upon to scoop ice cream at extremely busy times, such as when the sun comes out!
We recruited around 12 new volunteers in the year in a variety of areas including baking, speaking, counter serving and personal admin coaching for those we support. This included bank account and council house applications, CV writing, understanding tenancy agreements, budgeting and management of household bills when first setting up a permanent home.
The café ran really well, through the hard work and commitment of these teams and we cannot thank them enough!
Training
Food hygiene training continued both online and in person for all staff and volunteers. Several survivors of modern slavery, refugees and asylum seekers gained Level 1 and Level 2 certificates. Around 12 of our team attended an excellent training day on trauma-informed care led by the Snowdrop Project, which has aided our efforts to support those in our care, and The Speakers Trust facilitated a training day for our speaking team where we analysed and re-designed the content of our presentation.
Raising awareness
Our speaking team has thrived in 2025, receiving an increased number of invitations to speak about our work with modern slavery survivors. Additional volunteers have joined this team and around 25 talks were given during the year to community groups, churches and schools.
Our community presence
We have continued to roll out one of our aims of being a supportive presence in the heart of our community with various initiatives. Our weekly ‘Keep In Touch’ drop-in coffee morning tackles loneliness and isolation in the community and is extremely popular. The success of KIT has led to us partnering with the Chatty Café scheme to host an extra weekly drop-in coffee morning. A bereavement group has also been meeting monthly in the café to support people at that critical stage of life.
All in all it has been a positive year where the aims of the charity were achieved thanks to the wonderful community that Just-Ice has become in this little corner of Cheshire! Our service users continue to teach and inspire us with their resilience, keenness to learn and hope for the future. And we continue to be amazed at our cafe community’s ability to make a positive impact on a huge, international issue from our modest local setting.

Just-Ice Poynton Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Just-Ice Poynton For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Just-Ice Poynton (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member 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 member of The Association of Accounting Technicians, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents 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.

Just-Ice Poynton Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Just-Ice Poynton For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Just-Ice Poynton (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member 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 member of The Association of Accounting Technicians, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents 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.
