| the Diocese ofOxford's monthly round-up newsletter and providing a |
||||
| stand at local conferences and events. My thanks to all those involved |
in | |||
| these activities. | ||||
| Our volunteers always rise to the challenge ofa big give and so I am |
||||
| delighted to report that once again we were able to support Unseen's |
Gift | |||
| Bag Campaign at Christmas 2021 and 2022 and also in the Summer of |
||||
| 2022. We hosted a wonderful evening with ASIOX family and friends at |
||||
| Flo's Cafe in Florence Park in Christmas 2021 to wrap gifts and put |
||||
| together beautiful bags for survivors oftrafficking. 140gift bags plus lots |
||||
| of gift vouchers were delivered to Unseen together with 2 big bags of |
||||
| 'spare' items. Then in the Summer of2022, 34 bags ofactivities were | put | |||
| together in the hope ofassisting mothers in keeping their children |
||||
| occupied over the holidays. And finally, a further 35 gifts for children of |
||||
| survivors and 35food hampers were delivered to Unseen to be |
||||
| distributed to their survivors for the Christmas season of2022. |
||||
| Finally, and perhaps most unexpectedly, ASIOX found themselves being |
||||
| invited to support a lady exploited in the care sector through advocacy |
||||
| and befriending. This support gave her the courage to be open about |
her | |||
| experience and this has led to other investigations across the care |
||||
| sector, which is helping others who have been exploited. Without our |
||||
| support she would have returned to her country of origin in a terrified |
||||
| state. Through this work we have also assisted in disrupting illegal |
||||
| activity. We received some wonderful feedback from Migrant Help: |
||||
| "ASIOXhave made a crucial difference in the life of my Service User, |
and | |||
| I have no hesitation in commending them in the strongest ofterms. They |
||||
| are providing a very important service for some ofthe most vulnerable people in society. " My thanks to Sue Brockes-Smith and Harriet Calfo |
for | |||
| their care, professionalism and tenacity in supporting this lady. |
||||
| Since the year-end, the charity has secured a new funding arrangement. |
||||
| This forms part ofthe trustees' fundraising campaign to facilitate a |
||||
| significant increase in the charity's operations. Over the coming months, |
||||
| it is hoped that further funding will be secured to sustain and increase |
||||
| existing activity to more closely match the perceived need for ASIOX's |
||||
| services. | ||||
| I count ita great honour to Chair the trustees and to reflect on the last | 19 | |||
| months as I write this report for the AGM. My sincere thanks to everyone | ||||
| who has been involved, noting that ofcourse there are many more whose |
||||
| names do not appear in this report but remain a critical part ofthe team. |
I | |||
| have no doubt that the next Chairman report will be reporting on even |
||||
| greater steps forwards in the life ofASIOX. |
