Impact report: June 2022 – May 2023
This report details the progress we have made towards our three-year strategy, our new 2023 goal, and the impact we had for people of a refugee background between June 2022 and May 2023
Published:
Eight years on from our foundation, and Breaking Barriers has emphatically outgrown the notion of being a ‘small’ charity. We are a high-performing team of 70+ people, our income has increased to over £3.75m and we have expanded beyond London by cementing our delivery in Birmingham and Greater Manchester, with long-term plans for these regions.
Most importantly, this year we supported more refugees than ever before, who achieved more employment, education and volunteering outcomes than in previous years, all with the help of our biggest pool of volunteers to date.
