Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From: 01.04.2024 To: 31.03.2025
Charity name: Newquay Refugee Support Group
Charity registration number: 1195438
Objectives and Activities:
The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among people who are
refugees and asylum seekers who are socially excluded on the grounds of their
social and economic position, by providing or assisting in the provision of:
-
advice and support;
-
education and training in the English language;
-
social and recreational facilities and events involving the local community; and
-
financial support to cover essential living costs for those who do not have
access to employment, state benefits or other income.
Achievements and Performance:
Summary of the main 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.
NRSG continued to run regular English Language practice sessions in Nansledan for refugees, and trialled a weekly session in Newquay Town Centre. Participants were able to practice their English with volunteers through activities, games and conversation.
Attendees to the language café included newly arrived refugee families, parents and children, as well as unaccompanied refugees and asylum seekers.
Sessions were adapted to meet interest, need and level of English. The language café also provided a springboard for additional befriending and practical support. NRSG also distributed free SIM cards and bikes to refugees and asylum seekers in Cornwall.
The provision of the language café and the additional support made a positive difference to the lives of the refugees and asylum seekers who took part.
The language cafe provided valuable learning for the group to identify the best model of support in the future. Due to the support needs we have found that due to the diverse needs of individual learners, 1:1 lessons are more effective in most cases.
