Impact report
We published our first full impact report at the end of 2023, sharing how our charity has grown and evolved since its foundation.
We now offer a wide range of services to support the full integration of forcibly displaced people, including drop-in hubs, employment mentoring, practical and material support, as well as group and one-to-one English classes.
In a nutshell
As at January 2024, we were supporting 276 families from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and other countries. We had 250 ongoing support cases, and delivered our services through our network of 108 volunteers and seven staff members.
In 2023 our staff and volunteers:
-
Helped 89 families with support and advice on accommodation
-
Supported 53 families to set up new homes
-
Provided 70 job seekers with one-to-one mentoring
-
Delivered 40 hours of tutoring and homework help every week
-
Mentored 10 young people through our collaboration with St George’s College, Weybridge.
Seeing first-hand the incredible work that all the dedicated Elmbridge CAN volunteers and staff do... as well as the positive impact the charity has on enabling people to rebuild their lives, and feel welcome and settled in Elmbridge, is truly amazing. I feel so lucky to be a part of Elmbridge CAN's mission, and thoroughly enjoy my volunteer role.
