TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
The trustees (who are also the directors) present their report and the audited financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2021. The statutory information is shown on Page 1.
DISRUPTION FROM COVID 19
During the 2020-2021 financial reporting period there were continued significant impacts on the operations and finances of the charity caused by Covid restrictions. It was hoped that when schools reopened in September 2020 the tide had turned and things would return to ‘business as usual’ for ourselves and the rest of the World. For the charity this would meana return to face-toface volunteering and being able to go back into schools with our business partners to deliver our workshops and activities. We also hoped that we could onboard new corporate partners, new staff and return to pre-March 2020 strategic priorities. It was also strongly hoped that we could return to prepandemic income levels. Unfortunately, this was not the case as further lockdown restrictions were imposed and schools closed again in January 2021. The full impact of how Covid affected this financial year will be mentioned throughout this report under the various subheadings.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & RISK
Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The governing document is the Articles of Association. The Articles of Association (Section 32) define who should be Trustees of Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership. Trustees are recruited against the criteria laid out in Section 32.
New Trustees are briefed by the Chief Executive and the Chairman. Two trustees resigned within the year and three new trustees were appointed. Trustees take decisions affecting the strategy of the Education Business Partnership and issues affecting the statutory responsibilities of the organisation. The Chief Executive takes decisions affecting the day to day running of the organisation supported by a Deputy Director and the new Head of Innovations.
Asa charity reliant on securing year on year funding, the major risk facing the Education Business Partnership is financial. Through the implementation of the new partnership model in 2017, the charity’s finances had stabilised, recording surpluses since its implementation. This model was introduced to provide more sustainable corporate income. A more immediate risk to the charity is the continuation of restrictions imposed by Covid 19, particularly social distancing and how this might continue to impact our traditional delivery models. The loss of the ‘in person’ work experience programme has seen us lose c £140,000 of income per year for the past two years. Although we have established a virtual work experience programme as an alternative, the income generated is no comparison and work experience via zoom is no substitute for the real thing. Employers are still operating hybrid models of home and office working and may never return to pre pandemic practices. This too will be a big influence on our future operating model and our preferences for how we deliver the programmes.
We regularly review our progress on meeting our strategic objectives via:
-
e Strategy review sessions with the whole staff in designated team meetings e Ourannual staff strategy day held every summer
-
e Annual and 6-months appraisals where objectives are set which directly feed into our strategic priorities

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership is a leading education charity situated in the East End of London inspiring students to learn more, do more, and become more. Our aim is to improve the employability of disadvantaged young people and drive forward social mobility. Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership seeks to encourage businesses and their employees to invest time and other resources in all Tower Hamlets’ Primary, Secondary and Special Needs schools to help raise aspirations and achievement and develop students’ basic, employability, enterprise and financial literacy skills. Following the change to the Articles of Association in 2014, the charity has also delivered some of its programmes and core activities in other geographical areas which face similar levels of economic and social deprivation. This year our core work beyond the borough was limited to one secondary school in Royal Greenwich. However, we were lead partner on a three-year East London tri-borough aspirations programme delivered in Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Newham which finished in August 2021. Going forwards we remain open to out of borough work as long as it aligns to our core objects and generates sufficient income.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Despite the wealth and employment opportunities in Canary Wharf and the neighbouring City of London, deprivation is still widespread in Tower Hamlets. The Borough is one of the most deprived communities in the country and one of the most deprived of all London’s Boroughs. There is entrenched inter-generational unemployment coupled with poverty of experience and aspirations for Tower Hamlets’ school children. Our programmes are the catalyst in changing this damaging cycle of deprivation.
According to the latest report from the End Child Poverty Coalition (March 2020) Tower Hamlets Local Authority has the highest rates of child poverty in the Country at 55.8%, 5 percent higher than second placed Newham at 50%. Bethnal Green and Bow Parliamentary constituency is the highest constituency in the country at 59.6% and Limehouse and Poplar also makes it into the top 10. The eligibility for Free School Meals in the borough, as reported by the Department for Education, now stands at 41.2%, also the highest in the Country.
Covid 19 affected the National examinations programme for a second year running, with all Key stage 4 and 5 exams cancelled. Students studying GCSEs and A levels were awarded grades based on school data and internal assessments. The Government announced that it would therefore not publish any data on school or Local Authority performance in 2021 due to the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic.
Educational attainment is a key determinant of lifetime earnings, poverty risk and social mobility. Low pay and employment status are associated with lower levels of educational qualification. The large improvements in education in London, and especially Tower Hamlets, over the past decade are rightly celebrated in improving the life chances of its young people, especially as increasing attainment by disadvantaged pupils has beena key driver. Our role to showcase career opportunities, develop

TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
employability skills and provide knowledge and support for young people as they pursue post 18 pathways is as much needed as ever. We are determined to change the narrative about Tower Hamlets from a borough burdened by poverty to one rich with opportunity, outstanding schools and a diverse and talented future workforce.
THEBP PROGRAMME PORTFOLIO
Ordinarily our programme portfolio is based around face-to-face interactions between volunteers and school
pupils. Over the last two years, as a direct result of Covid, we have had to pivot our programmes to online versions only. Whilst in person experiences will always be our gold standard, with the quick adoption of technology by almost everyone, our virtual events have received excellent feedback.
This year in Tower Hamlets Schools we were able to deliver adapted virtual versions of:
-
e Our Family Financial Literacy Programme, Abacus (funded and supported by Lloyd’s) e BEE- Business enterprise education (financial literacy for year 5 primary pupils, delivered by the business volunteers)
-
e Business Mentoring (inspiring, coaching and supporting students)
-
e Employability, Enterprise and Financial Skills workshops (helping 11 to 18-year-old students make informed decisions about their future)
-
e Aim2Attain (aspirational programme for post 18 pathways, specifically University and Higher-Level Apprenticeships)
-
e Work Experience (introducing young people to the skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to secure and maintain meaningful employment)
-
e Head to Head practice interviews
In addition, when schools closed in January 2021, we created a weekly webinar series called “ConnectED’ showcasing employees’ experiences of the world ofwork in a panel discussion format.
VOLUNTEERS & EVENTS
The success of our charity is reliant on the support of the wider business community, and their individual employees who volunteer on our schools’ programmes. Covid, although disruptive in untold ways, has provided some benefits. One advantage was being able to secure volunteers from much further afield and this year we were able to include international employees from partners’ offices in Scotland, Germany, Italy, Dubai, Brazil, USA, Columbia and India. This has been great for the business teams able to connect with colleagues from across the globe, but critically has shown our young people that working overseas is both possible and desirable.
This year we were more prepared with resources, technology and the knowledge needed to deliver a full and successful virtual programme.
In terms of Programme outputs this year we have achieved the following:
-
e Abacus: Total of 180 students participated from 2 schools. Total of 18 sessions delivered by the end of the academic year.
-
e BEE: (Business Enterprise) Total of 150 students across 3 schools participated in 30 BEE sessions this academic year.

¢ Reading initiatives: This included a £10,000 fundraising programme for books for schools; the Masked Reader events and virtual ‘read-athons’ reaching 3020 pupils. Despite a second year with the impact ofCovid we have continued to make progress in the Charity in many ways. We returned to pre-pandemic strategic commitments and work began in earnest with our branding agency to press ahead with our rebrand in time for our 30" year anniversary. This was launched in Autumn 2021. A new Head of Innovations was hired to review and revitalise our programme portfolio for 2022 supported by a Digital Transformation Manager who is overseeing digital programme improvements and our CRM migration.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Because of the exceptional circumstances caused by Covid, the Trustees supported a deficit budget this year to enable schools to be served in the best way possible. Due to the loss of the in-person Work Experience programme along with bespoke corporate events over 10% of our regular income was lost. Some schools elected not to participate in our programmes this year which meant we saw a 50% reduction in Service Level Agreement income, placing further strain on the finances.
We did see some new income from new partners and we continue to seek new corporate partners to increase the percentage income from corporate sources. Fundraising from grants and trusts was also more challenging this year. In part this was due to many funders diverting their usual causes towards
5
TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
emergency areas such as food poverty, domestic violence and so on, excluding us from their usual target audience.
Steps were taken to mitigate the loss of income by not replacing staff that left, delaying starts of new staff along with some limited use of the Government furlough scheme. We also ensured ongoing close scrutiny of all proposed project and programme expenditure.
The total reserves of the Education Business Partnership now equate to 14 months expenditure. This level of reserve was agreed by the Trustees to provide an essential buffer as the EBP needs to be able to deliver its programmes for the length of an academic year. Reserves are held in notice interest bearing accounts with Santander, Close Bros and HSBC. The balance of unrestricted reserves to restricted is slightly more than half the total balance.
Funding sources for THEBP are a combination of private sector and Charitable Trust grants, plus income from Schools. The 202 1/2022 Budget is forecasting a deficit position for the upcoming year, funded from reserves. This deficit is still a result of services being impeded by the effects of Covid 19, principally work experience. Through robust fundraising and careful control of expenditure we will endeavour to mitigate and improve on the forecast position. As part of the wider programme review in 2022, staffing and the operational cost base will also be reviewed.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
In September 2021 the Charity will enter its 30" year of operating. A hallmark of this milestone celebration will be the wholescale rebranding and revision of our programme portfolio. One anticipated innovation will be the addition of support to young people in the space between school and work. It was an agreed part of the strategy we were forced to put aside but plans are in place to recruit an Alumni Project Manager to start early in 2022. Tower Hamlets young people aged 16-25, despite equal qualifications, still feature disproportionately highly in the unemployment league tables. There is strong evidence of graduate ‘under employment’ and a general mismatch of skills, qualifications and the jobs they end up with.
There is a vast array of careers and new sectors that we need to establish links with, and this will be an important priority for the future. Covid has potentially changed the face of work as we knew it for the long term, and more people will work from home ona permanent basis. It is vital for the successful continuation of the Charity that we expand our relationships into new sectors, not relying solely on the financial and professional services sectors. We have made good evolutions with international volunteers and have our first fully internationally based (USA) partner signed for the upcoming year. Therefore, we are revisiting the pre-pandemic priority to invest in dedicated corporate fundraising and will be appointing to this role later in the year.
We will continue our close alignment to Tower Hamlets Children’s Services, supporting the borough and the Tower Hamlets Education Partnership. We are active stakeholders in the borough’s Voluntary and Community sector, with staff participating in a variety of community steering groups and our Director sits on the Local Authority’s ‘Every Chance for Every Child’ Forum.
Partly as a result of Covid 19 the traditional ‘work experience week’ will need careful consideration in the year ahead. The decision was taken not to return to the in-person model for 2021-22 until we have fully consulted employers and schools. The Head of Innovations will assess future options during the next 12 months. A big concern is whether employers will be prepared to host students again if their workforce is based primarily or even partly at home.

TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Trustees’ Report
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
One of our other longest standing programmes the weekly Partners Scheme, in which volunteers spend 30 minutes reading or playing maths games with primary school pupils, has also taken a back seat due to Covid. Usually attracting 1500 volunteers per week, all sessions stopped in March 2020. We were able to create a literacy programme, Writing Partners, which has been hugely successful but its time consuming and resource heavy for all parties. Some companies have asked about retuming to reading in schools and plans are in place to restart some schemes but this is very much dependent on the appetite for schools to have visitors and for volunteers to feel comfortable returning to schools.
This year has been another challenging year, especially since we thought 2020 was the worst of it and we were coming out the other side. The continued lockdowns, school closures and other Covid related issues meant this year did not go according to plan. However, there is a lot to be proud of and some unexpected benefits and positive digital developments which we may not have considered otherwise. The year ahead will present different challenges as we seek to innovate our programmes, secure new funds and continue to meet the needs of schools and business partners. However, we havea committed, talented staff team, an experienced and engaged Board of trustees and a strong, loyal group of partners. We have mastered new technology, pivoted our programmes and have already put in place a comprehensive programme of activities for the new year ahead. With our 30" birthday and our rebrand there is much to look forward to.

TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership Limited
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurancebut is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with ourresponsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
e Weenquired ofmanagement, whichincluded obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:
-
e Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
e Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
e The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
e We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
e We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
-
e Wereviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
e We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
e In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness ofjournal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and[transactions][reflected][in][the][financial][ statements,][as][ we][will][ be][less][ likely][to][ become][aware][of]
11

instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-
1.1 Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The charity is considered as a public benefit entity. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
1.2 Taxation
The charitable company is exempt from taxation under section 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.
1.3 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grants are credited to incoming resources when they are receivable as the charity's own money, unless they are for activities that relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred to that period.
Income received under contracts for services which cross over the year end are recognised in the financial statements in line with the percentage of completion of the contract at the year end.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
1.4 Resources expended
Partner costs are recognised in the year in which they are incurred all other resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis.
Resources expended are allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. They include irrecoverable VAT. The administration and management costs of each activity are apportioned, based on an estimate of the staff time attributable, to each of the organisation’s projects and activities.

For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
Li. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
1.5 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds comprise income received, without a specified purpose, and expenditure for the objects of the charity.
Restricted funds comprise income received for specified purpose as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Allassets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write offthe cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Computer equipment - 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings = - 20% reducing balance
1.7 Pensions costs
The company makes pension contributions equivalent to a minimum of 5% of gross salaries on behalf of its employees. Employees are entitled to join the scheme after being in post for three months. The contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual basis.
1.8 Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

TOWER HAMLETS EDUCATION BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 August 2021
- PURPOSE OF RESTRICTED FUNDS Aim 2 Attain
To provide a portfolio of aspiration and educational activities for pre and post-16 students in Tower Hamlets, designed to encourage our young people to consider the choice and opportunities open to them to further their education and training.
Business Mentoring
The Business Mentoring scheme aims to equip pupils with better understanding of career opportunities, develop their employability skills and widen their view ofthe opportunities available to them.
East Potential
East Potential is a 3 year tri- borough project funded by J.P. Morgan. Tower Hamlets EBP is the lead partner working with fellow EBPs in Hackney and Newham to target young people who are at risk of being excluded from mainstream school and becoming NEET. The programme addresses employability skills alongside a range of issues affecting young people across East London, such as gang culture, conflict resolution and making good life choices. Through workshops, coaching and external activities, the aim is to ensure young people go on to meaningful post 16 pathways.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS
Transfers from restricted to unrestricted funds represent incomplete recharge from unrestricted funds in the previous years.
- PURPOSE OF DESIGNATED FUNDS
Aim 2 Attain
Within the unrestricted reserves the Board had previously designated £100,000 to ensure the Aim2Attain programme could be delivered for at least a further 12 months should we be unable to secure funding for the project. During the year the trustees reviewed the necessity to retain the designated fund and on the basis that sufficient funds existed within restricted funds, agreed to release this £100,000 to general unrestricted reserves. Trustees will continue to monitor the appropriate level of reserves required by the Education Business Partnership..
