It has been a year of excitement and change. In the last financial year (FY23-24), we supported the highest number of clients so far in our history, reaching a total of 1,247 individuals across five locations – a 15% growth on FY22–23, and representing a doubling of our reach since FY21-22.

We are now truly a national charity. Having previously expanded to Greater Manchester and Birmingham, this year we launched our services in Liverpool and Glasgow, with the result that the majority of our support was for refugees outside of London for the first time.

It was also our most successful year yet in terms of client outcomes – 480 clients achieved 709 outcomes during the year, including 256 clients starting 296 new jobs.

Of our clients who started new jobs, the overwhelming majority (85%) were previously unemployed, with Breaking Barriers often supporting them out of unemployment for the first time in the UK.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this year.
