Our Income increased f rom previous year. The manager has been working hard and it can be seen by the signiflcant increase in the number of funders and amount of funding. He has established a strong relationship with a number of funders who have offered us substantial support at a time when many charities have seen their income fa115 5ignlflcantly. We continue to pursue many more possibllities. The continued support from individuals and local organisatlons who provide our unrestricted funds Is vital to MRSN, s on8olng actlvities and we are very grateful that this ontlnued. We will keep raising the funds we need to keep Manchester Refugee Support Network open and maintain the vital services it provides to asylum seekers and refugees In Greater Manchester. Investment powers and pollcy The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operatlng the charity, have kept available funds in an interest-bearing account. Reserves pollcy and golng concern The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31, March 2024 was £277,407 of which £260,432 is free reserves (after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets). The balance held in restricted reserves at 31, March 2024 was £241,135. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustee5 consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and Bovernance costs are covered. Risk management The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity Is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees recogni5e the importance of identifying and putting in place effective arrangements for the management of risk. A risk register has been established and has been approved by the Board of Trustees. It is kept under continual review by the Board

Manchester Refugee Support Network of Trustees and any changes to risk are reviewed at each Trustees meeting. Financial risks associated with reducing income Streams from the government and trust funding has led to development of income generation strategy which allow for the diversification of fundlng and activities. Where appropriate, system5 or procedures have been in place to diminish the risk the charity faces. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the charity. Achievement and plans for future periods Manchester has always been a p13ce for people fleeing from persecution and extreme hardship in their homeland. Our clients often experience major challenges and trauma on their journey here. Once here they face an increasingly complex and inefficient legal system nd often struggle to get even basic support and help. The past few years has seen the deliberate fostering of a hostile environment based on rnlslnformation and preJudice. All indications are that migration will continue and the city will continue to need a dedicated agency supporting people seeking asylum and helping refugees settle and play a f ull part in their new community, The trustees of M RSN will continue review our obJettlve and activitie5 to ensure they continue to reflect our charitable aims and fulfil our agreed ambition to help build a society in which refugees are welcome, respected and safe and be a place where they can achieve their full potential. Our future strategy 15 based on five key goals: l. Continuing to deliver quality 5ervice5 that meet people's needs and enable people to become independent members of the community. 2. Enabling people seeking asylum and refu8ees to make progress and move Into employment, trainlng or volunteering. 3. To encourage collaboration and partnerships that benefit our clients 4. To help build a strong community that 15 open, welcoming and encourages integration. S. To hiilld an nr8anisatinn that is pffp,r.tive., Involvp.s peoplp. thr()IighoiJt, has a hlgh prnfllp and a sustainable business model To do thls we wlll have to Ilsten to and involve our clients and use their experience to shape our services. We want to explore ways of worklng with other agencies to help people progress and play a full part In their new community. We also want to play a key part in educating people about migration, challenging prejudice and creating a diverse and thriving city.
