THE IMMIGRANTS' AID TRUST (IAT)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's Memorandum and Article of Association, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The charity’s objects are to provide services to immigrants to alleviate hardship caused by the UK’s immigration law and practice. Since its inception the charity has developed a special relationship with Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and the Trustees consider that the aims and objectives of the charity are best served by making grants to support the charitable work of JCWI.
To this effect, the Trustees, at their meeting on 13th September 2001, reiterated this by passing a Resolution that The Immigrants Aid Trust was formed with the intention to raise funds for the charitable activities of JCWI and it remains the dominant purpose of lAT's existence.
Achievements and performance
The IAT continued to support the charitable work undertaken by JCWI by making a donation totalling £100,000.
Public benefit statement
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity’s activities.
Financial review
The statement of financial activities shows a net deficit of £4,752 (2024: £26,470) for the year, resulting in reserves standing at £1,296,581 (2024: £1,301,333) at 31st March 2025. The financial position at the year end revealed by the balance sheet shows net current assets or working capital of £21,285 (2024 - £26,037).
The IAT owns the freehold to 441 Caledonian Rd, London N7 9BG. The administration of IAT is carried out from these premises. JCWI occupies the premises as a tenant and pays rent to IAT.
Reserves policy
The Trustees consider it prudent to maintain an adequate balance of unrestricted funds to cover the Charity’s contractual commitments and ideally would like these to be at a minimum level of between 3 and 6 months annual expenditure.
The Trustees consider that the Charity’s reserves provide financial security for the future. The reserves held in unrestricted funds, which have not been designated or invested in fixed assets, as at 31st March 2025 were £21,285 (2024: £26,037).
Principal Funding Sources
Principal funding source of the charity is rent receivable from JCWI.
Investment powers and policy
Under the charity’s constitution, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that cash deposits meet their requirements to generate income.
Plans for future periods
The Immigrants Aid Trust will continue to support the charitable work undertaken by JCWI.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The charity was initially constituted by Trust Deed on 11 July 1971 and registered as a charity on 22 November 1971 under registration number 262860. The charity became a company limited by guarantee governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated on 29 March 2008; and then transitioned into a Charitable company governed by the Articles adopting a special resolution passed on 11 December 2023. The charity with registration number 262860 was closed and a new charitable company was registered with the Charities Commission on 2 January 2024 with registration number 1206349. The newly registered charity is registered with the Companies House with registration number 06548809.
Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association the chair of the trustees is nominated by other Trustees. The Directors of the organisation are also the charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. The Board of Trustees have power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so.
The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the company other than as members. The Trustees are also the directors of the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in event of winding up. The Board has the power to appoint additional Directors.
Organisation
The Trustees meet as frequently as necessary and day-to-day operational responsibility of the charity is delegated to the Chair.

New Trustees are given copies of the Constitution of the Trust and copies of previous year's minutes and attend an induction session given by an experienced Trustee.
Related parties
The charity works closely with JCWI as detailed in the achievements and performance section of the Trustees Report.
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
An annual review of the risks the charity may face;
-
The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan;
-
Implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Immigrants' Aid Trust (IAT) for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE IMMIGRANTS' AID TRUST (IAT)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Immigrants' Aid Trust (IAT) (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my Independent Examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance and administration personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity’s programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of staff time and use of resources.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
The tangible fixed asset consisting of the freehold property is carried at cost.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.10 Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and, therefore, is not liable for Income Tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.
1.11 Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charitable company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charitable company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
1.12 Cash flow statement
The charity qualifies as a small charity and advantage has been taken of the exemption provided by SORP (FRS 102) as amended by Bulletin 1, not to prepare a cash flow statement.

1.13 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.14 Volunteers and donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time are not recognised and refers to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
