Our work throughout 2025 continued to focus on the UK, where we supported age-disputed asylum-seeking children living in Home Office hotel accommodation intended only for adults. Specifically, the project: - Identified age-disputed children and provided them with information on their rights - Referred age-disputed children to the local authority responsible for transferring them to suitable accommodation and progressing the age-assessment process - Referred children to legal firms and supported them until all attempts to be recognised as children had been exhausted - Monitored children’s wellbeing, provided opportunities for recreation and respite and made connections between them and local service providers RYS continued to deliver its Journey with an Unaccompanied Child capacity-building training programme, reaching individuals across new geographic areas and from a broadening range of professions and occupations. The training supported professionals to strengthen safe-guarding practice and to better understand the experiences and rights of unaccompanied and age-disputed children. During 2025, RYS formally concluded its support to Velos Youth in Greece, which was originally established as a sister organisation. Velos Youth is now fully independent, with its own governance and operational structures, and continues to deliver community-based services for displaced young people. At the end of 2025, the board of directors voted to begin an orderly closure of Refugee Youth Service UK CIC during 2026. This decision reflected the organisation’s strategic assessment of its role, capacity, and the wider operating environment, and was taken with the intention of ensuring that all existing commitments are concluded responsibly and in line with the organisation’s community interest objectives.
Children and young people supported by RYS are offered the opportunity to provide feedback when RYS concludes its work with them. This timing is intentional, as it is when young people are typically most comfortable providing open and honest reflections on their experience. Feedback is used to assess whether support was accessible, appropriate, and responsive to their needs. RYS continued to work with session workers with lived experience of forced migration to sup-port the delivery of its services. Their input helped to ensure that the organisation’s approach remained grounded in lived experience and responsive to the realities faced by the children and young people being supported. In 2025, a former service user joined the organisation’s board of directors. This appointment strengthened lived-experience representation at a governance level and supported more in-formed decision-making across the organisation. All training participants were asked to complete surveys before and after attending RYS’ training programme. Pre-training surveys captured participants’ expectations, while post-training surveys assessed whether these expectations were met and invited feedback on the quality, relevance, and delivery of the training. This feedback continued to inform minor adjustments to content and delivery throughout the year. As part of its planning for an orderly closure during 2026, the board also reflected on feed-back gathered over previous years to ensure that services were concluded responsibly and that learning from the organisation’s work is retained and shared appropriately.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £14,325.99. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for directors’ loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
