A word from the CEO This year has seen some significant highlights for Grit with independent evaluations finalised and demonstrating the high level of impact our training has had both for Local Authority teams and for Black students in uni%"ersity. Having demonstrable impact is critical at a time when resources (both financial and people) are stretched, and therefore justifyryng costs for our customer-base is ever more important. This places us in a strong position in our key 'markets' for the year ahead. We've seen a year in which our main client base - universities - are undergoing huge financial difficulties resulting in restructures and funding reductions. This has affected the amount of work we've been able to deliver this year and is informing the way we spread our work for the year ahead. Our strong reputation means that many university partners are continuing to invest in Grit and we are also beginning to grow the work we deliver with secondary schools and to build the momentum of our work with local authorities based on the outstanding outcomes of our evaluation. The year ahead looks set to be challenging but the recent change of government could present new opportunities for Grit and we recognise that, whilst resources may be tight, the appetite and need for Grit's work is growing. A student recently told us". "Grit has giiien me a completely different way of looking ot things, about how you get out what you put it. People genuinely need this. Morepeople should do it." Our commitment is to seek out new ￿ndIng avenues that will help to keep channelling the work we do towards those who need it most and we look fonvard to working with the new funding partnerships we haiTe begun to develop as we enter 2024/25. Our team of staff have been exceptional this year in taking ownership of the values and joui'ney of the organisation. They embody Grit's ambition to biiild commiinities in which people contribute and thrive and I have huge gratitude for their approach, energy and commitment. It also needs to be said that our amazing trainers, trustees, Advisory Board, volunteers and supporters enable us to continue to champion this way of working and inspire us to be our best - using our challenges as well as our strengths to grow and thrive. Ellie Garraway J CEO

Review of 2023-24 82% of J'oung people said the}, felt more optimistic about the year ahead We have developed programmes supporting universities with theii. 'raising aspiration, and access work with local schools: with the University of Sheffield and white working class boys. and Mryth Edge Hill university and Black learners in Liverpool schools. Over the year we worked with 1.559 young people of which 9oYo report an increase in resilience We worked with 350 adults, 5% more than our target. Over 9oOA said the prograrnmes were good or excellent. Grit in Universities Demand for Grit remains strong, despite the financial challenges in the HE sector. We worked in 26 universities (the same as 202213) deliirering a mix of programmes for students and staff. Our offer continues to develop: we have run a range of bespoke workshops for student leaders and rnentors, for students repeating a year, and on employability and connection. Grit and Professionals We've continued to work with local authority partners, exploring ways for staff to stay connected with the Grit methodology, and developed new leads generated by our evidence base (see belom,) which bodes well for work in the year ahead. And we've been working with the Staff College, the leadership and development agency for local authorities. We continue to see impressive results against key indicators of long-term student success and achievement. 87% of students report an increased self- efficacy. 89Yo report an increased sense of belonging. Our work with Black Student Leaders and Students of Colour continues to expand: this year we delivered in nine universities (up from three in 2021/2) and worked with double the number of studo.nts than in 202 ⅔ . We also ran our first workshop on inclusive coaching practice for staff supporting Black students. Quality Our current strategic priority is quality,: it uiiderpins all of our activity. We have updated curricula, upskilled our team of trainers and put in place processes to monitor the Consistency of impact across workshops. Impact Independent, university-led evaluations of our work are producing resu]ts. Grit in Schools The evaluation of ollr work with local authority professiona]s provides strong evidence of sustained impact on cultural change and the results frontline workers are able to achieve. and positive findings are emerging from the evaluation of our work with students from racialised groups. We ran major programmes in schools across tK)ndon and the West Midlands, combining intensive workshops and coaching from loeal volunteers to siipport young people in Year 9 disengaged from education or exhibiting challenging behaNuours.

We have worked with unil'ersities as they evaluate Grit programmes in their own institutions. Again, they are reporting sustained, measurable positive impact of our work. This brings academic rigour to our evidence base, attests to the quality of our work, and is a crucial element in our business development and comrnunications strategy. Communications People We have been investing in the Grit staff team Nvith a new performance management system. All staff and trainers have had DEI training and our quarterly Action IEarning Set, Conversations About Race, continues. Business Development Grit remains financially stable and sustainable. We had an 69% repeat business rate with universities from last year and, at of the close of our financial year 23/24, we have contracted around 69Yo of OUT target income for the coming year. Our resenTes remain at the target of a level equivalent to six months running costs. Grit is in good shape. We have overhauled our marketing material for students and developed an alumni group graduates of our Black Leaders. Over the year we have been amplifying our voice in the HE sector and building quality relationships, moving Clients from customer to partner. We have developed Learning Networks of university partners; co-authored li articles in reputsble, well-read blogs. co-presented at 5 conferences. added 23 short films to our YouTube channel where students, staff and professionals talk about their Grit experience. This drives nelv business and contributes towards our strategic objective: to extend the reach and impact of Grit. Future Plans We will work to diversify our incorne base: grow the number of our university partners. and expand vertically in existing partner institutions on agendas around aecess to uniNersity, employability and apprenticeships. We will grow our income from trusts & foundations and corporates, enabling us to innovate and find new ways to deliver Grit to more at risk young people.

Financial Review 2023/24 has been a year of political uncertainty, very challenging econornic Conditions and funding issues in Higher Education (our key market). In response we undertook a significant review of our cost base, bearing down on all outgoings and reviewing resources against current and predicted activity levels, taking appropriate action to work towards a balance. Thanks are also due to all the individuals, especially the volunteers, who have supported Grit during tlie year. Unrestricted reserves policy Our policy remains to have unrestricted reserves equating to six months running costs (£280,824). Reserves now stand at £277,987. Alongside this we developed a programrne of work to diversify our income streams in the year ahead. As a result we remain well-placed to continue the delivery, of our current three-year strategy, designed to keep the charity proficient. The income profde of the charity has continued to shift. Traded income accounted for 92A of income (as against 83% for the previous J'ear and 62% three }'ears ago), with the balance coming from trusts & foundations and individual donations. Traded income is made up of sales of progTammcs to universities, school, colleges and local authorities. This year Grit is reporting a deficit of £84,571. Trustees recognise that this result is a considerable achievement in difficult circumstances. The charity wishes to thank all the funders who have supported it during the year. We are extremely grateful to the Julia & Hans Rausing Tn]st, the Porticus Foundation and all the other trusts and foundations that have contributed to the charity and its programmes.
