The main beneficiaries of the work of AWI UK are African women asylum seekers and refugees throughout Walsall but, through our advice work, we also help migrant workers. African women and girls Asylum seekers and refugees benefit directly from our advice and health advocacy projects, through the Refugee and Migrants Forum, and more indirectly through our Community Development work. The direct benefits of advice and advocacy include the relief of poverty through income maximisation, money advice and help with debts, finding accommodation for homeless people, and ensuring that people can get the health care they need. Our services are all free of charge and benefit many who are poor or destitute. The Refugee and Migrants Forum empowers the people who take part in its activities by enhancing their skills, their knowledge, and their selfconfidence. It also benefits asylum seekers more widely through its campaigning and awarenessraising work on issues such as the right to work. Our community development work benefits not only those directly involved in running the refugee community organisations we work with, but through enabling those organizations to operate more effectively, this work benefits all the members of those communities. In all our work we seek to empower people to gain understanding and confidence to manage their own lives and affairs and to participate more actively in their own communities and in wider society.

Sarah's Personal Journey, 17
“The Connecting Young People with Dance and Movement Project”
Sarah, a shy and reserved teenager, embarked on a life-changing adventure when she joined The Connecting Young People with Dance and Movement Project. At the outset, Sarah's confidence was as fragile as a delicate butterfly's wings. She had faced numerous challenges growing up in a disadvantaged neighbourhood, often feeling unheard and unseen.
Through the project's carefully curated workshops, Sarah began to find her voice in the language of dance. Week after week, she pushed boundaries, exploring various styles from contemporary to hip-hop. Under the guidance of dedicated instructors, she honed her technique, discovering strength and grace within herself. The project not only nurtured Sarah's physical prowess but also provided a nurturing space for emotional growth. Personal development sessions became her sanctuary, where mindfulness exercises and self-reflection empowered her to confront fears and insecurities. As she shared her vulnerabilities, a supportive community emerged, offering empathy and encouragement.
With newfound confidence, Sarah embraced collaboration, seamlessly weaving her creativity into group choreography. Her movements spoke volumes, conveying emotions that words couldn't capture. Through dance, Sarah found a language that resonated with the world, a testament to her resilience and inner strength.
The pinnacle of Sarah's journey came during a cultural celebration organized by the project. In a mesmerizing performance, she wove together elements of her heritage with contemporary dance, creating a tapestry of expression that left the audience breathless. It was a moment of triumph, not just for Sarah, but for every individual who had played a part in her transformation.
Sarah's success story became an inspiration for others, a living testament to the power of art and community. Her journey with The Connecting Young People with Dance and Movement Project exemplifies the profound impact that targeted programs can have on the lives of disadvantaged youth. Through dance, Sarah not only discovered her potential but also a sense of belonging and

purpose that would guide her towards a brighter future.
African Women Impact UK's Financial Support in the Face of the Cost-of-Living Crisis
This case study examines the impactful intervention of African Women Impact UK (AWI-UK) in providing financial support to refugee women facing the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis in the United Kingdom. Through a combination of financial aid, mentorship, and community-building initiatives, AWI-UK empowered these women to overcome socio-economic barriers, fostering selfsufficiency and resilience.
Introduction: The cost-of-living crisis in the UK has posed significant challenges to vulnerable populations, including refugee women. African Women Impact UK (AWI-UK) recognized the urgent need to address this issue and initiated a program aimed at providing financial assistance and support to refugee women, with the ultimate goal of enabling them to build sustainable livelihoods. Methodology: This case study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and surveys to collect data from 20 refugee women who received support from AWI-UK. The participants were selected based on their diverse backgrounds and experiences, ensuring a comprehensive representation of the beneficiaries. Results:
-
Financial Assistance: AWI-UK offered tailored financial aid packages to refugee women, which included stipends for basic necessities such as rent, groceries, and transportation. This support alleviated immediate financial burdens, enabling the women to focus on skill-building and employment opportunities.
-
Mentorship and Skill Development: AWI-UK organized mentorship programs that paired refugee women with experienced mentors from the African community. These mentors provided guidance on navigating the UK job market, honing professional skills, and building networks. Workshops on resume building, interview preparation, and entrepreneurship were also conducted, enhancing the women's employability.
-
Community Building and Integration: AWI-UK created a supportive community environment where refugee women could connect with peers facing similar challenges. Regular meetings, cultural exchange events, and skill-sharing sessions were organized, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing isolation.
-
Case Management and Advocacy: AWI-UK assisted the women in accessing essential services, including healthcare, legal support, and educational resources. Additionally, the organization advocated for policy changes that would improve the socio-economic conditions of refugees in the UK.
-
Empowerment and Agency: Through AWI-UK's interventions, refugee women reported a notable increase in self-confidence and agency. Many began pursuing educational opportunities, vocational training, and entrepreneurial ventures, demonstrating a newfound sense of empowerment.
Discussion:
The case study highlights the critical role played by African Women Impact UK in supporting refugee women during the cost-of-living crisis. By combining financial aid with mentorship, skill development, community building, and advocacy, AWI-UK created a comprehensive support system that empowered these women to overcome socio-economic barriers.
African Women Impact UK's intervention model serves as an exemplary case of targeted support for refugee women facing the cost-of-living crisis. By addressing immediate financial needs and providing holistic empowerment, AWI-UK has contributed significantly to the resilience and selfsufficiency of these women, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and prosperous society. This case study emphasizes the importance of community-driven initiatives in creating positive, lasting impacts for marginalized populations.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 August 2023
How we are hoping to raise the funds in the future
We are currently writing to a range of charitable trusts to make applications for varying sums of money to support different elements of the organization's work, but this process is slow and also highly competitive. AWI UK has also developed a fundraising plan to look at diversifying our income streams. We are planning more events and are planning to develop our website to encourage donations online.
A brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves
It is AWI UK's policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months of unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.
It is our policy to invest our main funds balances in the group's bank account. At the beginning of a new financial year, the accumulated unrestricted balance on income and expenditure at the end of each financial year is always used to pursue activities as defined in our Constitution.
