Our 2024 Impact Report demonstrates the impact of our work last year and illustrates how we are transforming local lives for the better. You can read it here.

2024 was a year of joys, challenges, and transformation for us. Despite the change in government and the scrapping of the Rwanda asylum plan, the same issues continued to affect those we support: isolation and trauma, poor living conditions, insecure immigration statuses, a ban on working for those seeking asylum, people facing homelessness once they are granted refugee status, and an ever-growing hostile political climate for those seeking asylum. In response, we doubled down on our efforts to make people feel welcome, experimented with new ways to increase the confidence of community members, increased our casework support to meet the need, advocated for change, strengthened our relationships with local supporters to ensure we can keep running our essential services into the long-term, highlighted refugee issues in the media, and celebrated our community’s achievements.

The following team worked collaboratively on this report: written content by Leyla Williams (Deputy Director), data collection and evaluation by Jude White (independent evaluator), data and evaluation support by Sanne van den Bergh (Casework and Development Coordinator), design by Rachel Le Mesurier (independent graphic designer).
