Our Mis51011:
Our mission is to help each child succeed, regardless of their circumstance5, by giving them
the opportunities and support they need. Our vision is for every child to grow. leam and
flourish.
Our Context
Children and youn8 people growing up in Camden face persistently high levels of poverty and
Inequality- 34% of the borough's children live in poverty according to government measure5.
This is the seventh highest rate of child poverty in all London boroughs and Significantly above
the national average. Poverty is more prevalent amongst disadvantaged groups,. 53% of
children experiencing poverty live in lone parent households and 39% are in racially
minoritised households. In 2020121. Camden was one of top twenty local authorities in
England with the highest levels of poverty. after fartoring in housing costs. The rising tide of
increasing land values in inner London does not lift us all.
For some children. the experience of poverty can be relatively short term. But most children
living in poverty stay in poverty. The latest data suggests that three quarters of London's
children in poverty were in poverty in at least three of the four years before the pandemic
This means that almost three in ten of London's Children are growing up in persistent poverty.
Camden primary schools have the third highest proportion of children eligible for free school
meals in the country. Black children and those with special education needs are much more

likely to be eligible for free school meals. Extrapolating from our current circumstances,
without intervention. three quarters of these children could remain trapped in poverty for a
518nificant proportion of their childhoods.
Many children and young people are experiencing a decline in their mental health and
wellbeing. The NHS estimate that almost 40% of &16 year olds have experienced a
deterioration in their mental health since 2017 Their research highlights that young adults
oged 17-23 have experienced a 52.5% decline in their mental health over the same period. A
projected 562.000 of 10-15 year olds are unhappy with school, which equates to almost 12%
of the secondary school population
The cost of living crisis will inevitably compound our communities. feelings of worry or
anxiety. At the time of writin& ONS data shows that 9 out of 10 families Wlth young,
dependent children reported feeling very or Somewhat worried about the rising costs of
living Over half the adults shared that they worried about their finances every day. Poverty
can be both a cause and a consequence of mental health i55ves. Across the UK, men and
women in the poorest fifth of the population are twice as likely to be at risk of developing
mental health problems as those on an average income6 Young people in the lowest income
bracket are 4.5 times more likely to experience severe mental health problems than those in
the highest7 If we want children and their families to flourish. we must address the causes
and consequences of poor mental health.
The communitie5 we serve face a challenging future. The charity settor more broadl¢, and
the Winch itself. will be affetted by many of the same factors- these include increasing costs
and the rising demands for support this will create. However. there is always cause for hope.
Although limited. the governmenV5 interventions to uprate welfare benefits. increase school
budgets and provide support with energy costs is welcome. We hope to see further
constructive interventions from national, regional and local government. We will tontinue to
make the case for'levelling up. London and for the sharing of more power with communities.
especially those most affected. Our supporters and donors remain committed to and believe
in our work. The Winch's approach to finding and working with mission-aligned partner5
means that we reach further and can make more of a difference acr0$5 children and young
people's lives.
As we look forward to the year ahead. it is the Winch's role to advance and to continue to
realise the cause for hope.

Highlightlng Our Impart in 202112..
The Winch'5 three-year plan. 'Opportunity through Communiv. which ran until 31 March
2022. focused the delivery of our mission on four key strategic goals. Our goals direct our
work to the different aspects of the'ecosystem. of childhood in our areas of benefit.
Our plan commits us to develop each individual's strengths and skills. We create, nurture and
enhance informal social support system5 that connect individuals and groups. This includes
families, friends. partners. peers and networks. In fostering local connertions, our intention
is to open up access to opportunity and build neighbourhood re50urcefulne55. Finally, we

organise to change the systems that are critical to helping or hindering our mission to enable
children and young people to succeed. Throughout our work, we commit to advance the
participation, agen¢y and the collertive influence of children. young people and families
facing systemic di5advantaEe.
In 2021122, we worked with 1.568 beneficiaries 11,254 in FY 20201211. excluding those
individuals served by Belsize Community Library. This increase reflects the gradual easing of
Covid re5trirtion5 in the period. enabling u5 to reach and Serve more beneficiaries through in-
person contact and group work. In line with our plans. the winding down of the temporary
Covid Community Response Hub sawourincomeconsolidate at around £lm. bringingus back
in line with our pre-pandemic financial performance. In thi5 changing operating context, our
tradin8 and income generation activities made a solid recovery1£173, 2711 from the previous
vear 1£64,0431. evidencing the importance of the Winch as a centre for mission related
activities and demonstrating some of the impart that the pandemic had on our operating
model.
We highlight some key achievements against our four Strategic goals below-
Goal One: Work alongside children and young people to develop their strengths, skllls and
sense of purpose
"I wish I could come to the Winch every doy. even on weekendsljl
Primary Years: In recognition of the impact of Covid19 on OUT youngest children, our Play
team focused on developing children's personal. social and emotional 5ki11s through our after
school club and holiday provision. Our 'Return to Learn. initiative was underpinned by a
'healthy mind, healthy body. healthy relationships. approach. We introduced mindfulness.
yoga and other relaxation techniques aimed at helping children recognise and notice their
changing feelings and to adapt their coping strategies with their peers. We built a children's
video booth, creating a supported space in which children could process and vocalise their
unique experience of the pandemic. Our girls football session, alongside our mixed basketball
group, were highlights of our reinvigorated sports offer, designed to improve children'5
physical confidence.
The Play team reading buddy and maths support initiatives helped 49 children to strengthen
their maths and literacy skills. We worked with our Camden Play partners to deliver a
coordinated holiday provision. As a result. 17 children eligible for free school meals were able
to access food support through Winch. via the Holiday Activities Fund IHAF). Our nutritious
cooking activities proved to be as popular a5 ever, ensuring every child benefited from after
school food. including those foods they learned to cook themselves. Finally. our new
Children's Council was elected. and 15 children volunteered to help the Play team decide and
design the yearfs play agenda.
Secondary Years: The Winch Youth Team delivered a programme of drop-in youth club
provision, estate-based outreach. in-school support and tar8eted support for groups facing
disproportionate disadvantage.

One of the main highli8ht5 of this last year has been our partnership initiative, Inspiring
Inclusions. We collaborated with Camden Council, local schools and charities to pilot a
mentoring intervention aimed at preventing the exclusion of racially minoritised young
people. Pupils identified as having adverse experience5 or facing additional challenges were
referred into the programme by secondary school staff. They were matched with a trained
youth worker from the Winch, who mentored and coached ten pupils each term. We
commissioned an external evaluation of the pilot programme from the research consultancy.

The Winch mentees reported a 14% increase from their baseline wellbeing

As a result of the success of the pilot, we are working with our charity partners, Future First
and the Somali Youth Development Resource Centre, to expand the prograrnrne acr05S
Camden, and to strengthen the involvement of affected young people.
Our Youth team also ran a successful peer rnentoTin8 programme, in partnership with the
Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. Targeted at young people going
through the critical life transition to secondary school. trained young adult mentors were
matched with 17 younger pupils, under the supervision of Winch staff. The team from Anna
Freud provided clinical insight, external supervision and training to the youth team. as well as
evaluation support. Mentee progress was tracked using validated research too15, including
the Child Outcome Ratings Scale ICORSI. At the start of the programme, Seventy percent of
the mentees had total CORS score5 that were below the clinical cut off for the measure i.e.
wellbeing that falls below"normal". Of these mentees. 100% had improved total CORS scores
at the end of the programme. "Ever5ince ljoined the programme Ifelt morefree ond oble to

Goal Two: Connert people to create a kinder and more resourceful neighbourhood
Ovr Famity Support programme fosters connertions between new parents and carers and
brokers new learning experiences. By building inclusive. self-supportin8 peer networks. we
enable parents to help each otherthrough the challenges of early family life. Through working
with skilled partners aligned to our mission. we aim to create more equitable access to
development opportunities for parents from disadvantaged communities.
In August 2021, hundreds of Afghan families were evacuated from their homes and placed in
temporary accommodation in Camden with little or no advance planning and support. Thev
faced social and financial exclusion and the trauma of sudden dislocation in an unfamiliar
environment. Working with Camden Council and a fantastic alliance of local charitie5, the
Winch stepped up to play its part. Our Family Support team reached out, adapting theirwork
to provide drop-in 5e55ions and one to one help in the hote15 housing Afghan families. We
a5515ted the families to orientate to their new surroundings. We recruited volunteer
translator5 to SUPPOrt our engagement and to adjust our work to be more culturally attuned.
We brokered new connections to otherwise inaccessible local opportunities. creating outings
and trips for otherwise isolated families. We also opened up our kitchen facilities for families,
eager to enjoy the simple pleasure of cooking their own food and to celebrate their special
occasions with their peers and friends.
Alongside this adaptation. the Family Support team delivered its core provision of drop-in
Support groups, learning and development opportunities and one-to-one support for parents
facing challenges. We delivered several courses with Camden Family Learning to support
parents realise their employment goa15. including English for Speaker5 of Other Languages
IESOLI. We h05ted a sUPPOrt group for parents of children with disabilities. We created a new
Parent Assembly, to nurture parent engagementand inform our programming priorities. The
parents we encounter are often remarkable. They are insightful, caring and full of hope for
their futures. Each has their own unique story to share. As one parent told us ' I did not want
my doughter to grow up like me, after going through this coutse Ifeel I con be o betterporent
to he￿.
elsize Community Library tontinued to innovate its creative offer, a welcoming space in the
local community and promotingthe joy of reading. The team delivered a number of in person
author-led events and was, once again, a ￿CIpient of a fantastic donation of books from the
Jhalak Prize longlist, broadening access to inspirational new writing. Our weekly homework
club was regularly used by children needing a wam. quiet place to study.
Working with colleagues from North Camden Zone. the library facilitated a ten-week.
intergenerational art course led by local community artists. The course was attended by 15
local residents who extended their work to create a fundraising event for the Ukrainian
communf(y. The residenvs artwork was displayed at the 02 Shopping Centre in Finchley Road.
helping build neighbourhood pride. The librarfs 'Craftemoon' session has knitted together a
group of library users through exploring craft making activities. The Between the Books
concert series delivered intimate. on-line music performances by local artists. enriching the
librarfs repertoire and extendin8 its reath.

Goal Three". Back community-led change
Our North Camden Zone initiative aims to create neighbourhoods in which children and
families can thrive. It5 Core programme is focused on three of the Winch's local housin8
estates, where it employs and trains small groups of residents as community organisers. In
turn, the or8anisers help facilitate community-led change. On Hilgrove Estate, community
organisers interviewed 52 residents and 21 professionals to explore the hopes. skills and
aspirations of the residents. Having set up the Hilgrove Residents Assembly, involving fifty
more residents. they presented their findings and agreed a set of priorities for their estate.
One of the priorities agreed by the residents was to support neighbours with the cost of living
crisis. Sixteen residents agreed to work together to establish a Hilgrove food tOOP* to mitigate
the impact of rising food prices. North Camden Zone are now assisting the resident5 work in
partnership with Camden-based Cooperation Town. to establish and manage the initiative.
The team have also initiated projects to refurbish the physical environment and green spaces
on the estate and to improve the children's play areas. with the aim of fostering relationships,
address climate change and to build residents. collective capacity to influence the local
housing system.
Whilst North Camden Zone continued to work on two other eststes, backing community-led
ideas that will improve their material social and economic conditions. they have also begun
work to better connect residents acr055 our wider neighbourhood. One successful example
of this work is the Camden Creates collaboration. Steered by a resident-led forum, and with
the support of Hampstead Theatre. Camden Creates aims to open up opportunities to arts-
based experiences. led by local arts practitioners. to people in our area of benefit who might
not normally afford them. Local artists have run a series of programmes that introduce
residents to arts activities, ranging from photography to painting. The programme seeks not
only to advance more equitable access to the arts and to build cultsjral capital. but to also
improve participants wellbeing and sense of community.
Take Back the Power is a youth-led change initiative backed bythe Winch's youth team, and
form5 a key part of our post-secondary offer. Take 8ack the Powerf5 primary goal is to tackle
the inequality and injustice faced by youn8 people from m3Tginalised communities. The
Winch employs young people with experience of these issues. as youth organisers and
researchers. They identify and develop projects that can effert change. This year. our youth
organisers decided to focus on promoting and protecting young people's rights. They worked
with Liberty to provide workshops on police stop and search and schools, exclusions. Our
voung researchers initiated a project to explore violence against women and girls of colour.
The researchers aim to develop a set of recommendations that can enable young women to
feel more safe.
Finally. to improve young adults. access to employment opportunities, we worked with the
Design Council and Camden Counal to influence and improve the current systems of support
available in the transition to adulthood. We recruited and 5UPPOrted IS young adult5 who
could evaluate the effectiveness of the current provision in Camden. The young people then
worked with experts from the Design Council to ueate a range of new or improved offerings.
Page 8

as part of the Council's Good Work mission. The young people's recommendations were
shared with council staff. organisations offering employment support and elerted local
councillors. We look forward to working with the Council in the year ahead to take forward
their recommendations.
Goal Four." Build oryanlsational excellence
In orderto realise our mission and meetthe changing hopes and needsofourcommunity. we
must continue to invest in and strengthen our organisation's infrastructure and capabilities.
We are fortunate to have the financial and in-kind support of a committed group of core
funders and donors. who understand the relationship between developing the Winch's
operations and skills. and our ability to deliver change.
The Board led and modelled our commitment to building organisational excellence. Trustees
refreshed our governance arrangements. consulting on and adopting an updated Articles of
Association. which aligns US with current best practice. The Board approved a new Justice.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion IJEDII poliry. The JEDI policy underpins and guides our work to
ensure every child can flourish. Trustees will continue to support embedding the policy. As
our longstanding chair Srabani Sen OBE complete5 her term of service, the Board set out its
intention to recruit a suitable Suc￿$50r. establishing an appointment5 committee and
cornmissioning external support.
Trustees, working with the executive team. established a yearlong programme to create our
new Strategic plan. The 'Big Think, saw the creation of several trustee-led task and finish
groups to define the parameters and overarching framework for the new strategy. A mixed
staff team. assisted by external facilitation. led a series of consultations with partners and
beneficiaries. These consultations included surveys. focus groups. a youth residential and
taking young people to visit five other youth and community centres to explore different W2yS
of working. Over 250 engagements were delivered by the staff team, to inform, shape and
refine our strategy. We are very excited that our five-year plan. 'From Cradle to Community,.
was rolled out from April 2022.
We continued to upgrade our systems and 5UPPOrt strutture5. We successfully completed our
migration to a new HR management System and rolled-out a new online training offer for
staff. We appointed an external health and safety advisor to better manage our ageing
facilities and to assist us to safeguard our beneficiaries. The Board, with help from our
funders, invested in enhancing our staff wellbeing provision, in recognition of the increasingly
challenging environrnent and its impact on our people. This investment has helped us to
deliver a number of staff wellbeing sessions and procure external coaching and supervision
for ourteams.
In the summer the Winch youth club was flooded. following a heavy rainstorm that impacted
our wider neighbourhood. We were grateful of the support of a number ofgenerous friends
and donors who immediately offered their assistsnce. alongside the help of our landlords,
Camden Council. Ouryouth team demonstrated their agility in reorganising their programme,
delivering drop in youth clubs and closed group work in alternative local spaces. Despite the
Page 9

delays from our insurers. we have since redecorated and refurbished our basement,
improving the environment for children and young people. Young people have been allocated
a budget to continue their work to furnish a safe, welcoming and flexible space.
We aim to construrt new. high quality. fit for purpose premises for the Winch, in the
development at 100 Avenue Road. Our modern, larger faciltties will be adjacent to the
Winch's current site. In the light of our ambitious plans. the flood served to highlight the
challenge5 and limitations of our existing building. We were frustrated with the delays to the
development of our new facilities at 100 Avenue Road, which were caused by the developer
negotiating change5 to planning perrni55ions With the council. Whilst the changes do not
direttly impart on the Winch's new buildin& they push back our timeline for occupying more
fit for purpose facilities. As we head into the new financial year. we are happy to report that
these negotiations have now been completed. We fully expect to feongage with the design
and build process. with a view to construction recommencing in FY 202314.
Future Developments
The community we serve face5 unprecedented challenges in the years ahead. The rising cost
of living,. the pressures this will place on household budgets and on our public and social
infra5tructure.' and the impact this will have on our personal and collettive wellbeing are
widely established. The impact this will have on organisations like the Winch is less commonly
understood. We anticipate that inflation and the cost of living will impact on our work. There
will be more competition for less fundin& our own operating costs will increase, demand for
Services will rise and. in this context. we will need to better support our frontline teams to
deliver their work to their own high standards.
Our new, five-year strategy. 'From Cradle to Community. which commenced in April 2022,
sets out the four outcomes we will seek to achieve across all of our work. in this difficult
context. The four outcomes frame our work across the life course of a child or young person,
from birth and into adulthood. They anchor the child at the centre of our work. We work
'outwards' from this point. with young people's families and friends, their communities, and
the systems and structures that help or hinder their success. We call this an 'eco-system'
approach. Our JEOI policy underpins our strategy. encouraging us to address both root causes
and consequences of the challenges we face.
Ourfour outcomes, developed in dialogue with our community. are=
l. We develop strength5. sknlls & sense of belonging.
2. We Connect people to create more resourceful communities.
3. We support communities change systems to create equality. justice & inclusion.
4. We adapt. learn and grow.
In setting these high-level outcomes. we have established a number of indicators or
'intermediate outcomes.. against which we will monitor progress in delivering our mission
and to capture and apply our learning.
Page 10

As we head into the new strategic period, we want to thank our outgoing Chair of Trustees.
Srabani Sen for her leadership and longstanding commitment to the Winch. Two of our
existing trustees. Debbie Moss and Harlan Zimmerman. will co-chair the Winch Board, until
we formally appoint and announce the appointment of our new Chair of trustees. We are
grateful to them for managing this transition and are confident that we are in good hands for
the next Cbapter in our work.
Reserves policy
The trustees of The Winch have set the target for free reserves of the charity to be in the
range of £176,000 to £220.000 in the financial year 2021-22. Designated funds do not form
part of the free reserve. Progress against achieving a position within this range is reviewed
every six months. In setting this level, the trustee5 have firstly given consideration to Short
term forecast cost5 for which funding is currently unsecured. Secondly, looking further
forward, the trustees have considered the amount and length of funding agreements in place
for the charity's pro8rammes. the risk that these agreements may not be renewed or
replaced, and the degree to which costs can be adjusted to reflect the level of funding in
place. The trustees have taken into account the expiry dates of multi-year funding
commitments. with a view to ensuring that all obligations can be met if that funding were not
to be renewed or replaced. Trustees have given additional consideration to the volatile and
uncertain operating conditions. amplified by the Covid pandemic. and aim to secure reserves
at the higher end of thls range. Free reserves as at 31 March 2022 were £220.0(KI.
The trustees have created designated funds. Designated funds consist of a strategic fund for
long term projects and an operational fund for investment in organisational excellence. The
strategic fund is allocated to the development of 100 Avenue Road, our expected future base.
The operational fund provides for investment in service provision, facilities improvements
and developing organisational infrastructure and capabilities. Total designated funds at 31
March 2022 were £183,417.
Our Thanks:
We would like to acknowledge the generosity of our friends. the kindness of our neighbours.
and the backing of our donor5 and supporters. without whom our achievements would not
have been possible. It is thanks to their trust and faith in the Winch that we have been gifted
the possibility of achieving what we have. We give special thanks to our staff. volunteers and
our community who nurture this faith in our rni55ion.
It is not possible to list all the individuals who have supported us during the period l April
2021 to 31 March 2022, or those who continue to support our mission. The distinction
between funder, donor. partner and 5UPPOrter atthe Winch is fluid. We thank everyone who
has played a part in our endeavours. We appreciate your confidence. Your contributions are
essential to children and young people's success. We invite more of you to join us and join
each other. in our mission to rnake Camden a great place to live and grow up in. and as we
strive to help each child flourish, regardless of their circumstances.

meeting5 to review performance. Trustees hold strategic review days and convene working
groups to support the executive team on specific priorities.

and governance attivities it undertakes. During the induttion they meet key employees and
other trustees. Trustee5 are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where
these will assist them in carrying out their role.
e. Pay policy for key manaEement personnel
The goal of the Winch's pay policy is to offer fair pay to attract and keep appropriately
qualified staff to lead, manage, support and deliver the organisation's aims. We aspire to set
target salaries between the 50th and 75th percentiles of market rate (based on the best
benchmarks we can find). We want to be seen to be a serious option by good quality
candidates. We recognise the tension between market forces and our financial resources and
there may be circumstances in which we are unable to meet this level of pav.
We have adopted a pay policy ratio of 1-3. meaning that the highest paid member of staff
should not earn more than three times that of the lowest paid member of staff on a pro-rata
basis
f. Risk management
The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises..
an annual review of the risks the charity might face.
the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the
plan.

We have been app)inted as audrtor under secbon 144 of the Char￿"eS kt 2011 and ￿pG￿t in accordance with

Our objective5 are lo obtain reasonth assurance aboul whether the f￿￿Cial 5tatemenls as a whole are f￿e
from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or etror, arKI to Issue an Audrtors, report that irlcludes our

from fraud or errtx and are consKlered materid rf. indiwdualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the econom￿ deck%ions of users taken on the basis ￿ these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non<cffnpliance wth la*s and regulations. We design
procedures in line wth our responsibiifties. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are ¢apabie of (letecting irregularl1￿,
including fraud is detsiled below_
Based on our understsnding of the ccxnpany and industy. we identrfied thal the wincipal risks of non-
complian¢e laws and regulations rdated to industry sector wulations and unethical and prohibrted
business practices. and we ¢onsrdere(I the extent to which nonconplian¢e might have a material effect on the
financial st*emenls. We also consKJered those regul*ions that have a direct impact on the
preparth'on of the finan¢kal slalemenls such as the Companies Act 20C6, Charrties Act 2011, Charity
Cs)mmission and sector regulations. and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated managemenl's incentives and
opportunities for fraudulent manipulakn of the financial st*emenls lin¢ludirKJ the risk of override of ¢onlrol$l.
Appropriate audrt procedures in response to these risks were camed. These procedures included..
Discussions wrth management. including cOnsthrati￿ of kTr)wn or suspected inStar￿$ of non-
compliance with laws and regulation and fraLKI,"
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged wth g0veman￿.
Obtaining and reading correSponder￿e from legal and regulatory I)c*j￿ including HMRC.,

Challenging assUMpt￿nS and judgements made by management in their signfficanl accounting

We also communicated relevant identrf*d laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement
team members., and remained alert to any indutions of fraud or non-coMpl￿nCe wth laws and regulations
throughout the aLklit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit pr￿edU￿S des¢ribed above and the fvrther removed non-compliance
with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflecled in the financial stalemenl$, the less likely
we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than
the risk of not deleding one resulb'ng from error, a5 fraud may involve deliberate wrKealment by. for example,
