We had not yet begun fundraising. However, a number of events were planned for 20232024, including a launch with distinguished speaker, participation Amersham Refugee Week Event and participation in Peace in the Park in Chesham. Activities planned to foster public awareness about our charity and its mission, refugees in our community, local refugee history, different cultures, famous refugees and their accomplishments, etc. Our other objective was to try to source accommodation to house a refugee family. This is the greatest challenge due to shortage of housing in the area and the cost of housing vs housing benefit levels. Towards this aim, we began to make contact with local estate agents to let them know of our mission and encourage them to propose renting to a refugee family to landlords on their books. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s) Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc) Date** 6 March **2012** **TAR** TAR March 2012 ||**Charity Name**
