Helena Kennedy Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 May 2021
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 May 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Chair's report
The Helena Kennedy Foundation exists to support disadvantaged students from the further and adult education sectors to transform their lives through higher education and fair access to the graduate professions.
The Foundation was established in 1998 to make a practical contribution to government policies on widening participation in higher education and promoting social inclusion. We aim to tackle social injustice by supporting those who face multiple barriers to participation in education and work to fulfil their potential.
Since our creation, the Foundation has provided financial support to nearly 2300 students. With the costs associated with studying in higher education continuing to rise and a challenging employment market impacting on opportunities for students to gain access to part time work to support their studies, this support remains more relevant and important to students' needs than ever. We award bursaries of £2,250 - which we increased in 2018 from £1,500 to reflect the increasing financial burden faced by students -to individuals who have successfully completed a program of study at a further education sector college and are progressing on to a course in higher education.
All the students we support come from low income backgrounds and face financial difficulty. Our students are a testament to the power of education in overcoming social disadvantages and include:
-
Students labelled as failures by the schools' system, often because of undiagnosed learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
-
Students lacking parental and family support.
-
Students who have made unsuitable career and course choices early on in their life and want to retrain
-
and acquire higher level skills.
-
Students who left school at 16 and found themselves in a string of unrewarding and low paid jobs,
-
before recognising the need, as more mature adults, to obtain higher level skills and a degree to improve their job prospects and quality of life.
-
Students in transition, emotionally and geographically. These include:
-
ex-alcoholics or drug addicts who have realised that education can support their rehabilitation process
-
victims of sexual abuse or domestic violence struggling to lift their personal lives out of misery through education
-
those fleeing from persecution and torture and seeking refuge or political asylum in the UK
-
students with a history of severe health problems, physical disabilities, or emotional difficulties, sometimes
-
as a result of a serious accident that has radically altered the way they live their lives and for whom education is a life saver
-
casualties of oppression, discrimination, and injustice, often on the grounds of race, religion and sexual orientation
-
- students experiencing mental ill health
-
students who are lone parents, on low incomes and with low skills levels, many of whom come from poor,
-
working class and black and minority ethnic communities.
This includes:
One to one support provided by the Foundation's support staff
-
Specialist practical and emotional support (e.g. dyslexia, victim support) brokered through partnerships
-
with other agencies
-
A casework service to help troubleshooting on issues
-
Where funding is available, we seek to run skills training workshops to help students develop in
-
areas identified by employers as the skills needed in the workplace, including leadership, team working, effective communication, writing a CV and successful interview skills.
To help students develop professional networks and gain an insight into highly competitive professions and industries we aim to:
-
Run a mentoring scheme to match students up with mentors working in jobs, industries and professions that
-
match their interests
-
Broker work placement and shadowing opportunities
-
Run insight days and careers talks with companies across a range of industries and professions
Where practicable we share our experience as practitioners around widening participation in education and fair access to the professions by contributing to publications, appearing on public platforms, commenting in the media and

commissioning and producing research. We seek to give our students the opportunity to share their own experiences, which helps develop their own skills and confidence as well as giving policy makers a first-hand insight into the experiences and achievements of these remarkable individuals.

Helena Kennedy Foundation Report of the Trustees Continued For the year
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Statement on public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Trustees review the Foundations aims, objectives, activities, achievements, and performance each year. Performance is monitored against our Strategic Plan and Annual Operating Plan. Trustees refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit and ensure that planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives set.
Trustees conclude that, since the Helena Kennedy Foundation exists primarily to overcome social injustice by providing support for disadvantaged students to access higher education, the charity can demonstrate beyond doubt that each of the principles outlined in the Charity Commissions guidance on Charities and Public Benefit are being met.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Significant activities
The financial year 20/21 was an extraordinary one. The Charity navigated the consequences of a global pandemic which saw national lockdowns, the total disruption of Further and Higher Education systems and disproportionate negative outcomes for the most vulnerable in society. The Board continued to meet regularly, albeit virtually, and the Charity continued to operate, switching to remote working and increasing engagement through social media channels.
Our Bursary awards continue to provide financial support that makes a real difference to our students' ability to meet the rising costs associated with studying. It remains the primary reason for students' application to the Foundation. The Trustees are delighted to report that the number of new students receiving a bursary award during this financial year was 81. Applications for 2021 were 190. This is lower than we usually expect and is attributable to the pandemic. Notwithstanding this dip in applications, we were significantly over-subscribed and many more would benefit from the financial support we offer, as well as the wider package of mentoring, advice and guidance, training and work placements should we be able to secure additional funding.
Progression rates for our students are typically in the 90-95% range. Of those that do not progress from one year to the next, many go on to return to their studies a year or two later and continue to receive advice and guidance from the charity. Around 96% of our students graduate - which is significantly above the national average. This is even more impressive given the serious hurdles our students have overcome to succeed in education. We are immensely proud of this achievement and of our students. Ensuring that our students complete their studies not only helps their life chances, but saves the student, higher education institutions and the taxpayer a great deal of money, due to the high direct costs and social costs of non-completion.
Mission Statement
The charity's mission statement and strapline were reviewed, and trustees approved the following
Mission Statement: HKF promotes equality of opportunity, enabling disadvantaged FE students to realise their potential, by supporting them through higher education into fulfilling careers.
Strapline: Nurturing talent, driving opportunities,
transforming lives. Work Placements
With graduates facing increased pressure to prove their potential for employment opportunities HKF wishes to ensure that our beneficiaries, who are already faced with their own significant barriers to success, have the best chance of reaching their goals both at university and beyond. In response to this, the Foundation has sought ways to empower Winners in these increasingly competitive and demanding times, enabling them to access work experience opportunities to complement their studies through the HKF Work Experience scheme. Approximately 20 award winners secured work placements with companies such Howes Percival, and all award winners were offered mentoring and coaching support, which more than half took up. After graduating, award winners are offered pro bono coaching with professional graduate coach.
We are delighted that our alumni project continues to make progress. This year two of our alumni won prestigious Festival of Learning awards. Kirsty Young received the Return to Learning award and Rosie Wainwright received the Outstanding Individual learner award. Maleekah Bokhari, an award winner from 2007 was honoured as young global leader of the year by the World Economic Forum. Alumni James Corbin has established himself as a plus size model and has been featured in Vogue magazine and worked with Valentino.
NCFE
We are delighted too that our strategic partnership with NCFE continues. The DISCOVER programme enables 15 FE colleges to take part in a college bursary scheme, whereby 15 Students are awarded a bursary of £1,500 to support their success and progression to higher education or employment. NCFE also sponsors 10 HE bursaries each year, where winners receive £2,250. NCFE staff also mentor HKF bursary winners. The partnership is going from strength to strength, and we enjoy great support from The CEO and his team.
Skills Education Group
The Skills and Education Group continue to sponsor and support the annual House of Lords reception. Through the partnership they provide 2 bursaries per year for FE students from their member colleges progressing to
Higher Education. Any applicants we are unable to support are encouraged to apply to SEG's own funds and a secure bursary of £350 each.
2020 Impact report
To mark the 20th Anniversary of the Helena Kennedy Foundation (HKF) the trustees commissioned an impact report to evaluate the impact of bursaries on our winners. The research sought to understand and provide evidence of how HKF contributed to transforming lives and communities in Britain by providing financial bursaries, mentoring, and supporting disadvantaged students from the further and adult education sectors. The report was launched at the AOC conference in 2018 by Baroness Kennedy and is available as a resource online at the HKF website.
College badge bursary scheme
College badge bursary schemeThese are bursaries for FE and sixth form colleges to ring fence for students from their own college. As with the standard scheme, they are open to students in their last year at college and applying to start a first-time higher education course the following year. Bursaries are named after the sponsoring College so although the selection panel is run by HKF, the College can be sure at least one of their own students will be a beneficiary. Students who miss out on their college's badged bursary can still be entered for the standard HKF bursary so have two chances of achieving an award.
This is a time when the gap between the richest and poorest has grown to its widest for several generations (Dorling, 2015) and the impact of policy reform is biting the most vulnerable the hardest to reach communities. The learners who apply for bursaries are often blighted by ongoing poverty that has blighted their lives, their families and community. The evidence from the learners is that the bursaries are a real lifeline to them continuing their studies, progressing to Higher Education, and gaining careers that empower them, their family, and their communities.
Pastoral and Mentoring
Support Annual Career
ready week
HKF continued its annual career ready week where a number of sessions were delivered by our supporters and alumni. The sessions including Improving your cv, improve your LinkedIn profile amongst others is now available as a resource on YouTube.
The meet and greet week as part of the welcome to HKF was well received. We continue to offer one to one support alongside a monthly drop-in chat session. This is an opportunity for winners to discuss any issues in a safe environment.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year, the total income received was £317,746 (2019/20: £200,486). Total expenditure was £237,857 (2019/20: £238,671), resulting in a total net income before investment gains of £79,889 - (2019/20: (£37,535) net expenditure.
The gain attributable to unrestricted funds was £70,420 (2019/20: (£5,767) deficit) after investment gains and adjustments, which consolidated the Charity's unrestricted reserves position from £196,010 at the start of the year to £266,430 at the end. Of this, £75,000 is represented by general fund reserves, representing six months' running costs to cover unforeseen costs and commitments in line with the reserves policy. The remaining £191,430 is accounted for as designated funds on the balance sheet, being earmarked by the charity for future spending on charitable objects, in line with the reserves policy.
The financial numbers represent a robust position. The Charity has achieved a secure financial footing through a combination of fundraising activity and keeping operating costs under control over this period of tight fiscal restraint which has, regrettably, resulted in many small charities like HKF ceasing to operate. In this regard, the positive achievements of the Foundation over the last six years cannot be understated and praise for this is due in no small measure to the dedicated efforts of our Operations Manager and her small team.
Our Treasurer, who brings with him a wealth of finance experience, has also resulted in significant improvements to our financial processes and financial planning.
Restricted funds increased by £25,075 after adjustments, from £348,625 to £373,700. Of this balance, the whole £373,700 related to the Badged Bursary Scheme. In line with the reserves policy, restricted funds are managed to ensure that they are spent in line with donor requirements and do not go into a negative position.
The Trustees are pleased to note that direct charitable expenditure through student bursaries in 2020/21 amounted to £151,175 (2019/20: £147,625).
Investment Powers and Policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the Trustees wish. The present policy is to invest surplus liquid deposits in income generating cash deposits and investments.
Response to COVID19
The Charity is at present, in a sound financial position and has sufficient 6 month reserves due to its reserves policy. There is some concern with universities being able to fund bursaries in 2022, trustees are closely monitoring the situation. This may result in a reduction of bursaries being awarded in 2022 should our funders be adversely affected by COVID19.
The Foundation operations were impacted by COVID19 with staff members having caring responsibilities which were mitigated by working from home and making other arrangements. The charity had initiated migration to cloud based storage which was expediated due to COVID19.
Reserves
Restricted funds are managed to ensure that they are spent in line with donor requirements and do not go into a negative position.
The Charity regularly reviews its reserves policy, as it has done during this year, and sets aside at least six months running costs to cover unforeseen costs and commitments in the event of a sudden reduction in funding or cessation of activities. These are accounted for as general fund (unrestricted) reserves and are also index linked to inflationary pressures.
Any additional unrestricted funds which remain unspent are accounted for as contingency funds on the balance sheet, being held in reserve by the charity to cover bursary as well as other forms of student support, in line with charitable objects and the reserve policy. In addition, this year CRM systems are being fine-tuned to streamline the charity data base and student selection processes. Other unrestricted funds are accounted for as designated fund reserves or invested over the short to medium term.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Helena Kennedy Foundation is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 13th November 1998. It is registered as an independent educational charity with the Charity Commission. The members (currently 13) undertake to contribute the sum of £1 in the event of the charity winding up.
Organisation and Management
The Board of Trustees delegates the day-to-day leadership and management of the charity to paid full-time employees who during the year comprised an Operations Manager and a Projects Manager.

-
•giving careers talks on a range of sectors and industries
-
•allowing students to shadow them at work
-
•organising fundraising activities
-
•assisting within the foundation with activities including administration, student support and organising events
Many of our volunteers are previous beneficiaries of the charity who want to give something back. Our beneficiaries also come back to the Foundation to give talks at events as ambassadors.
Risk Management
Trustees regularly review the major organisational, financial and reputational risks assessments laid out by the Foundation.

Helena Kennedy Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 May 2021
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Helena Kennedy Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
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.
Funds
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Designated funds comprise of unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above
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 and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
13 of
Helena Kennedy Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements Continued For the year ended 31 May
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Allocation and appointment of costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, a proportion of the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned to the bursary programme based on the value of uncomitted bursary amounts.
Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Office Equipment - 4 years
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Current asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. Any change in fair value will be recognised in the statement of financial activities and any excess of fair value over the historic cost of the investments will be shown as a fair value reserve in the balance sheet. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading “Net gains/(losses) on investments” in the statement of financial activities. The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
14 of
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation
can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
