## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Sheffield Association for the Voluntary Teaching of English (company number 3856216) was incorporated on 26 October 1999 and its Memorandum and Articles of Association govern it. Its legal status is that of a company limited by guarantee. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1. It became a registered charity on 17 July 2000 (Charity number 1081597).
The Board is made up of elected members, who are elected at the Association’s Annual General Meeting. The Board meets on a bi-monthly basis. There are four subgroups to the board, Finance Group, Communications and Community Development Group, Business Development group and the People’s Group (HR and Equality Diversity and Inclusion). Day to day project activity is carried out by paid staff and volunteers.
## **Charitable Objects**
The objects of the charity are to advance the education and social well-being of people whose relationships are restricted through language difficulties or some degree of illiteracy, in Sheffield and district, without distinction of race, or of sex, or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating with the local authorities and voluntary organisations in the provision of facilities for the teaching of English. The Association shall be non-party in politics and non-sectarian in religion.
## **Public Benefit Statement**
The Trustees of Sheffield Association for the Voluntary Teaching of English (SAVTE) take their responsibilities seriously and are confident that the organisation's activities meet the public benefit guidance for the Charity Commission.
SAVTE’s activities this year continue to meet the aim of promoting the education, wellbeing, progression and integration of all our participants, particularly those who face additional barriers and cannot access mainstream English learning provision. SAVTE aims to help develop learners’ competence in everyday English language skills in order to become more active and empowered citizens in their communities. SAVTE aim to recruit more volunteers from within the communities to provide progression opportunities and help build community resilience. SAVTE works in partnership with local community organisations, to enhance local provision by providing specialist English support services which local organisations are unable to provide.
## SAVTE’s main activities are:
1. Recruit and train volunteers to support English language learning for speakers of other languages.
2. Support volunteers to work with learners who are unable to access mainstream education provision. The volunteers support learners to develop everyday language skills in a range of settings. These are in the home or via the internet on a one-to-one basis, or in small informal groups either online or in the community. As a result of service adaptations during the pandemic, we are able to continue to offer hybrid learning opportunities to suit individual needs.

## **Public Benefit Statement Continued**
3. Developing community based activities that support community development and community cohesion through working in partnership with local organisations. This aims to widen the opportunities to learn and practice English as well as meet other people and connect with local organisations and services. Through this participation, learners develop skills and confidence and progress onto new activities or volunteering.
4. Delivering English learning activities at the Sanctuary Hub as a partner of the Sheffield Project for Refugee Integration and Growth (SPRING).
5. Delivering Accredited Volunteer and Language Level 1 Programme to those new to volunteering.
6. Developing and sharing ESOL resources that support living in Sheffield. Maintaining an open access to an ESOL resource and learning centre
7. Delivering a Digital Inclusion Programme that enables learners to take the first steps into the digital world to access online services.
8. Delivering English for orientation to new arrivals in Sheffield.
9. Developing a Community Volunteer Development Programme to provide opportunities to gain employability skills and experience.
The beneficiaries are adults from BAME communities, a significant number are refugees and asylum seekers. They face a range of different barriers to accessing mainstream education provision, e.g. they may be full time carers, have a disability, live with a health condition, have no experience of formal education or lack the confidence and self-esteem needed to attend mainstream ESOL provision.
Through providing opportunities to learn English, SAVTE aims to reduce the isolation of the most excluded members of the Sheffield community. It encourages their participation in local activities to break down barriers and generate relationships of mutual exchange through learning.
The Trustees continually review service provision, to ensure that it responds to need and provides maximum benefit to learners.
## **Review of Activities and Achievements**
This year marks the end of a 5 year capacity building grant from the National Communities Lottery Fund. This grant has been pivotal in enabling our transformation since 2018. The key achievements we have been able to report on at the end of this 5 year period is our growth in terms of income (therefore staffing), our modernised systems and processes and finalisation of our mission, objectives and values. As a result we have a highly motivated and skills staff team, increased capacity to respond to need in the city and an excellent reputation for quality and innovation.

## **Review of Activities and Achievements continued**
Our ethos is continuous improvement, and this year we have focused on developing robust evaluation processes and invested in a Quality Manager to ensure all our delivery meets contractual standards to manage all classroom delivery. We have designed and developed a new database and developed the new Volunteer Development Programme. We have continued to deliver Digital Inclusion Support, including provision of devices and we have invested in staff and volunteers through training and mentoring. Following the easing of Covid-19 related restrictions, we have gradually resumed face to face activities in the community and in homes, and have designed 3 new ESOL courses aimed at Entry 2-3 learners as we identified this as a gap in the city. We trained 18 volunteers from two Community Sponsorship Organisations (groups established to host refugee families) as our commitment to welcoming refugees to the city. We continue to be an active member of the SPRING Partnership that provides an integrated approach for refugees in Sheffield, this partnership has grown in confidence and has secured forward funding into 2023. The partnership has also responded to the increase in demand as a result of the war in the Ukraine.
- Challenges and Impact due to Covid 19 - Throughout the pandemic, SAVTE continued to deliver English support online which involved redesigning our training courses, creating new resources and providing devices and support. We have continued to offer online learning to all our participants providing more choice and flexibility and to ensure people remain safe. The staff team worked tirelessly throughout the 3 lockdowns, despite their own personal circumstances. This year, the impact of the pandemic on wellbeing needs to be acknowledged here. Time has been spent ensuring staff’s own wellbeing needs have been met, and therefore we made the decision to drive targets up thereby taking the pressure off staff. In addition, we have felt the impact on grant funding and contract income. Unexpected changes to Adult Education Budget criteria meant that our 1:1 programme was no longer eligible for funding, we spent a lot of time campaigning and negotiating change, Sheffield Council were good to support us with transition funding, however the criteria was fixed and in response we restructured our delivery model to integrate this essential contract into our provision. Furthermore, there has been an overall reduction in available funding as a result of the economic downturn, and whilst this was not a problem during 2020-21, we have had to carefully time and prioritise our bids for new funds to dovetail with the expiry of old funds – this has been nail bitingly stressful. We have been successful in securing four more years of National Community Lottery Funding, Charity’s Aid Foundation Resilience Funding and Covid Recovery Funding from Sheffield Council. This boost in income has enabled us to recruit new staff and return to prepandemic operation levels. This situation, however, highlighted the precarious nature of our grant funding, and as a result trustees have turned their attention to developing a resilient strategy which will include diversifying our income streams.
The biggest highlight of the year was delivering the first accredited Volunteer and Language Training course in the UK to 14 refugees and British people new to volunteering. This was part of our new Volunteer Development Programme. The cohort included 11 different nationalities, 7 languages with most participants overcoming significant barriers to entering volunteering and employment, including limited mobility and learning difficulties. 13 people completed the course and continue to volunteer with SAVTE.

## **Review of Activities and Achievements continued**
More than Just a Language – whilst SAVTE provide English Language support, there is so much more that we provide. This year we have created a ‘Sources of Help’ signposting database for wider support services which we have seen an increasing need for, these include food banks across Sheffield. We are now registered as a referrer to all food banks managed by the Trussel Trust and have started making referrals for learners in need. This is an example how we are continually improving our servicers in response to changing need.

## **Future Plans**
Last year we consolidated our aims, values and goals by producing an evaluation outcomes framework, Theory of Change and developing our community development approach. Going forward we are confident that our operations are fit for purpose and fully measurable and therefore we now need to turn our attention to our longer term resilience strategy. This will include a rebrand, updating our name and image to represent us better, this will lead onto developing a marketing strategic plan, to ensure that we reach all our stakeholders – whether they are participants requiring our services or potential corporate donors. Our Business sub group will investigate business models which enable us to secure lucrative contracts and diversify our income streams. We plan to develop partnerships outside of Sheffield and explore delivering our expertise nationally. We will continue to seek grant funding and negotiate with Sheffield Council for further support. We will continue to partner with the SPRING Partnership to deliver ESOL to refugees and asylum seekers, and with increased capacity respond to the Ukrainian Crisis
We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support of Sheffield Council, the National Lottery Community Fund and to all our volunteers for their time, commitment and enthusiasm to enable us to continue to provide such an essential service for many ESOL learners in the city of Sheffield.
## **Reserves Policy**
We will hold reserves to a value of between 3 and 6 months budgeted expenditure. For 2022/23 monthly budgeted expenditure is £52,321 so the target for reserves is to fall between £156,963 and £313,926 these figures include the potential redundancy and notice costs of £65,129. Our general reserves currently stand at £201,341 which is within the desired level.

## **Directors Responsibilities for the Financial Statements**
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company at the end of the year and of the surplus or efficiency for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The Trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the company, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
## **Small Company Provisions:**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors declare they have approved the directors' report above.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period ended 31 July 2022.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technician, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Fund transfers**
The brought forward balance from Sheffield City Council: Adult Learning Skills relates to surplus funds from 2007 onwards. The funder is satisfied that the charity has achieved all outcomes and therefore given permission for the surplus to be transferred into unrestricted funds.
Income received during the year on Talbot Trust was generated income and therefore not subject to restrictions. The balance of £286 was moved to unrestricted funds at the end of the period.
