Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The new government's decision to scrap the Rwanda deportation scheme and withdraw the use of the Bibby Stockholm barge shows that pressure works.”
• “Last August's racist riots and attacks and the recent violence in Ballymena are not isolated incidents.”
• “One of the highlights of the year for me was our conference in November 2024.”
• “In June 2024, we launched our report "Asylum in the UK: A Frontline for Racial Justice” at a central London event.”
• “In February 2025, we co-produced a stunt in Parliament Square with Lived Experience Activists and campaigners across the country to relaunch the campaign and shine a spotlight on the injustice of the work ban.”
• “we welcomed the government's December 2024 announcement of a pilot move-on period of 56 days, a key ask from Refugee Action and the wider sector.”
• “we submitted evidence to the Home Affairs Committee inquiry into asylum accommodation that closed in February 2025.”
• “We welcomed the repeal of the Safety of Rwanda Act, which we campaigned against extensively, and noted partial repeal of the Illegal Migration Act.”
• “However, we continue to oppose the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill introduced in February 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
