  1. Our Objectives and Activities

Welcome from our Chair

This year saw a General Election and a new government.

We were pleased to see some recommendations that we developed, alongside other charities, make it into Labour’s manifesto on youth workers and charities working with prisons. And we joined the election debate with two important publications:

3

  1. Our Objectives and Activities

Crucially, New Philanthropy Capital is able to balance our influence on these big-picture debates with our consultancy work. We are delivering practical improvements in impact for clients every day.

And we’re learning from those experiences, finding lessons that can be shared with and applied to other sectors as well.

This combination of thought leadership and policy work, with hands-on support and advice is what enables New Philanthropy Capital to make an impact at different scales.

Of course, the impact we make is only possible thanks to the excellent and dedicated work of our staff and the continued assistance of our supporters in an increasingly tough environment. I want to thank all of them, for making everything we do possible.

I also want to thank Dan Corry, who stepped down as CEO after 13 years in the role. Dan’s vision and leadership have been central parts in building New Philanthropy Capital into the organisation it is today—focused on impact, helping a range of organisations, and growing in influence.

We are equally excited about the appointment of Jonathan Simmons. Jonathan brings deep experience in leading purpose driven organisation and an exciting vision of collaboration with impact driven organisations and people from all sectors. We are excited to have him join the team.

Under Jonathan’s leadership, the board is looking forward to continuing New Philanthropy Capital’s work to reach more people and organisations, from all sectors, that want to deliver impact.

Finally, I want to thank my fellow trustees for their help in navigating the way forward and achieving our vision.

Vaughan Lindsay, Chair

  1. Our Objectives and Activities

Welcome from our Chief Executive

I am incredibly fortunate to be joining New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) at this time.

I believe the relationship between wealth holders and those that deliver impact is one of the most important in our society today.

I’ve been fortunate enough throughout my career to work with many incredible organisations delivering impact, as well as many generous people and organisations willing to give support. Bringing these two groups together will enable us to address some of society’s biggest challenges.

You can see this as a marketplace, with capital on one side and deliverers on the other. Like any marketplace, effective intermediaries are needed to support growth. It’s clear to me that New Philanthropy Capital is just such an intermediary working across the social sector.

Across the following pages, you’ll see many examples of NPC’s work, including how we help Sport England manage their work with their grantees to deliver impact, or how we advise a range of funders on how they can tackle the youth mental health crisis. We have worked with the Santander Foundation on financial inclusion and the British Red Cross developing their theory of change for climate adaption.

I have been delighted to encounter so many experienced, smart, committed staff, dedicated to the mission of growing and improving the impact of the social sector.

Over the next year, I look forward to meeting NPC’s community so together we can improve our collective impact.

Best Wishes,

Jonathan

  1. Our achievements and performance

2. Our achievements and performance

This section presents some of our highlights from 2023-2024.

NPC Ignites 2023

‘Insightful, thought-provoking topics, expert speakers and relevant data’

‘Met some really interesting people and have had some great follow-ups since.’

‘Hugely inspiring’

– NPC Ignites 2023 attendee feedback

Dan Corry speaking at NPC Ignites

Over 150 guests attended our annual flagship event, hearing 32 speakers over two days in-person and online.

8

  1. Our achievements and performance

They heard inspiring talks from:

Mike Adamson, Chief Executive of the British Red Cross, on the need for the third sector to embrace collaborative leadership. This was a real challenge to all of us to think bigger and move beyond our organisational interests. (Read media coverage of Mike’s talk or an adapted version of the talk on our blog.)

Trinh Tu, Managing Director of Public Affairs at Ipsos Mori, on the state of public opinion including how people were coping with the cost of living crisis and how they felt about the charity sector.

Dan Corry, New Philanthropy Capital Chief Executive, on why politics should take civil society seriously and how to improve the relationship between government and the social sector. (Read ’ media coverage of Dan s talk or an adapted version of the talk on our blog.)

Helen Stephenson, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, on how charities can navigate a tough environment including when is the right time to close and how to work better with your ’ trustees. (Read media coverage of Helen s talk.)

As well as nine media stories on the event, Ignites was also a hit on social media, with over 30,000 impressions on the New Philanthropy Capital Twitter/X account.

Everyone’s Environment

The Everyone’s Environment programme explores the social impacts of climate change and nature loss. Led by New Philanthropy Capital, it is a collaboration of charities and organisations from different sectors exploring what environmental crises mean for the people they serve.

In 2023-2024, the number of charity partners grew to over 80. The programme delivered a range of activity, including:

and policymakers. (Read findings from Disabled people, ethnic minority communities, older people, and young people.)

Partners for Change

During the General Election campaign, we published our paper with ideas for the new government on how working with philanthropists and charities could help them deliver their agenda.

The paper includes 8 recommendations for putting the partnership between government and charities on a strong footing, 9 recommendations in priority policy areas where civil society and government can work together for change, and recommendations for charities and funders on how ’ to support effective partnerships. (Read our op-ed on the paper s key arguments.)

Influencing Labour’s manifesto

During the election, we were really pleased to see some recommendations that we developed alongside other charities make it into Labour’s manifesto.

These were for youth workers and mentors to be placed in A&E units and Pupil Referral Units to divert young people from crime, and government backing for prisons to link up with charities to reduce reoffending and support ex-offenders into work.

We look forward to charities being involved in the roll-out of these policies.

  1. Our achievements and performance

Helping charities cope with the youth mental health crisis

Youth Mental Health Launch Event

The rise in demand for young people’s mental health services has put huge pressure on charities. How can they cope?

Our research, published in June 2024, explored what’s causing the unprecedented increases in need and identified six key areas where funders can make a difference. They include preventative work and early intervention, building and diversifying the mental health workforce, and exploring a systems-based approach to funding.

The report was launched at a standing-room-only event in the City of London where attendees heard from Ndidi Okezie, Chief Executive of UK Youth, and Anne Kent-Taylor, Director of Blue Smile. Our speakers provided a lot of inspiration for collaborative working—as Ndidi said, ‘no one child has one issue’ and ‘joined-up thinking’ is essential.

We are looking forward to further work with charities and funders in this area.

Achieving impact in education innovation

How can you drive lasting change in schools? We worked closely with the Templeton World Charity Foundation to assess their ‘big questions in classrooms’ programme.

Templeton’s programme aimed to help pupils and teachers better understand ‘how knowledge works’– the way subjects relate to each other and how we learn.

11

  1. Our achievements and performance

Our work for Templeton included consulting work to evaluate the programme’s impact and a public report sharing lessons learned from that evaluation, e.g. the key barriers and enablers of change.

The evaluation was a great opportunity for our consulting team to speak and engage with teachers and students across the country. The public report was accompanied by a launch event where individual projects from across the Templeton programme could meet, connect, and share learnings.

Systems Practice Toolkit

In January 2024, we published a free practical resource to help charities work more effectively with the complex problems and situations they face day-to-day.

The Systems Practice Toolkit provides 8 systems practice tools with illustrative examples and blank templates to use. It’s not only a useful guide for individual organisations, it’s part of our thought leadership in promoting systems change approaches across the sector.

The toolkit has been very popular, visited more than 11,000 times (launch-June 30 2024) and widely shared on social media.

Climate Adaptation Theory of Change for The British Red Cross

‘NPC’s support was helpful in shaping and refining our Theory of Change, which is now a powerful tool demonstrating our British Red Cross Crisis and Emergency Response commitment to climate change adaptation.’

Dr Ellie Murtagh, UK Climate Adaptation Lead

The British Red Cross was developing a UK Climate Adaptation Theory of Change (ToC) to support its climate adaptation work programme as part of the Crisis and Emergency Service.

We advised on how to best engage with staff, volunteers, stakeholders, and service users to develop the ToC. We also provided feedback on drafts of the plan over several months. This included using our theory of change expertise to ensure there were strong connections between activity and impact, and incorporating learnings from our Everyone’s Environment programme. (Read more about our work with the British Red Cross.)

12

  1. Our achievements and performance

Local Needs Databank

In May 2024, we launched the beta version of a renewed and redeveloped Local Needs Databank.

The databank is an interactive tool that allows users to explore statistics on local needs through dashboards of charts, maps, and data filters.

Initial dashboards cover health and social care, and advice and support services. They include contextual information on local rates of poverty and deprivation, and on grant availability.

There’s information from charities too, including from Buttle UK and Trussell Trust, for example of number of food parcels delivered in each local area.

We hope that the databank will become a go-to resource for all those looking for data insights across the sector. We look forward to continuing to develop the tool throughout its beta period, including encouraging more charities to add their service delivery data.

State of the Sector 2024

In February 2024 we published our latest ‘State of the Sector’ report with findings from our robust, sampled surveys of charity leaders, charity users, and the public.

We asked them a series of questions about charities, how charities worked with the state, and what role charities play in local communities. What we heard was:

  1. Our achievements and performance

  2. The report launch event in Westminster featured Debbonaire alongside Matt Downie, Chief Executive of Crisis and Anne Taylor, expert by experience at Crisis. (Listen to the event recording.)

Centring Lived Experience

In December 2023, we published a guide for senior leaders on how to take a strategic approach to centring lived experience.

It contained step-by-step advice on how leaders can effectively incorporate insight from lived experience throughout their organisation.

The public report is part of our work to promote greater use of lived experience in strategy development across the social sector. We are driving the conversation about moving beyond a tokenistic approach and recognising that insight from lived experience can increase impact.

(Read media coverage of the report.)

Preventing Digital and Financial Exclusion with the Santander Foundation

The Santander Foundation commissioned us to research digital and financial exclusion in the UK.

We worked with organisations working in the field and people with lived experience to understand the drivers of inclusion, from poverty to low literacy and lack of confidence.

We found that digital and financial exclusion often overlap. For example, in difficulty accessing online banking. We also found that the most effective support to overcome exclusion was built

on relationships and sustained over the long-term.

The public version of our report highlighted patterns in funding and where grant-makers can make a difference.

  1. Our achievements and performance

DCMS Volunteering Research Managed Services

New Philanthropy Capital is partnering with Basis Social and London Economics on a two-year Volunteering Research Managed Services contract on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The work lead by Basis Social will see the partnership deliver a range of mixed method research projects designed to fill knowledge gaps, develop evidence that can be used to develop future programmes, funding streams and strategy, and support policymakers and practitioners in the VCSE sector develop more impactful interventions.

Evaluation and Learning with Sport England

Sport England have launched a 10-year vision called ‘Uniting the Movement’, that aims to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity. To change the system, Sport England are working with and investing in over 130 other partner organisations across the country.

They include bodies who are governing and delivering sport, locally-led active partnerships, and organisations from outside the world of sport.

New Philanthropy Capital are one part of the consortium providing evaluation and learning for Sport England’s work with partners, alongside Ipsos and Sheffield Hallam’s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre

New Philanthropy Capital are supporting partners to continually review, reflect, and change what they do and how they do it. For example: guidance on best practice and how to drive improvement, facilitating regular learning exchanges, and providing tailored support where needed

This project will run from 2023 until 2028.

Strategy Development for Tommy’s

Tommy’s is a pregnancy charity working to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe for everyone.

15

  1. Our achievements and performance

With a new CEO in post, and the previous organisational strategy coming to an end, Tommy’s was looking for support to bring staff, trustees, and people with lived experience together to develop a new long-term strategy for the charity.

New Philanthropy Capital supported Tommy’s through a strategy development process that covered:

Insight gathering: New Philanthropy Capital conducted an analysis of existing insight at Tommy’s and developed a plan for filling identified gaps.

Discussion: the New Philanthropy Capital team then delivered a series of in person workshops to engage staff, trustees, and other key stakeholders in the development of a new strategy. These workshops were iterative, building on input at each session, and included discussion of ’ ’ all elements of New Philanthropy Capital s strategy s triangle.

Consultation with people with lived experience of pregnancy loss: running alongside discussion workshops, New Philanthropy Capital consulted with Black and minority ethnic people with experience of baby loss and pregnancy loss, a key priority group for Tommy’s to support in the new strategy.

Finalisation: New Philanthropy Capital acted as critical friends to the senior leadership team at Tommy’s as they finalised and articulated the strategy and secured final board approval.

The new strategy was successfully launched in Spring 2023.

‘Tommy’s new strategy provides us with a north star by which to navigate an increasingly complicated landscape, and we never could have created it without the help of NPC. Their experience, knowledge and processes guided us throughout, providing the expertise we sadly didn’t have in house. NPC gave advice, and more importantly ‘friendly challenge’, when needed, ensuring that the result was a robust, informed and evidenced strategy which will help us deliver impact for the next decade.’

Amy Thomas, Chief Operating Officer

  1. Our achievements and performance

Trustees event series with the Clothworkers’ Company

Clothworkers Event

Thanks to support from The Clothworkers’ Company, we held a series of online events for trustees on how they can adapt and evolve to meet today’s challenges.

These covered topics such as creating effective boards, campaigning, and centring lived experience.

An average of 91% of attendees rated these events ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’, with many commenting on how practical the advice was:

Really practical advice on centring lived experience that doesn't feel too daunting even for an organisation with a long way to go on this.’ – Attendee

After each event, a follow-up blog on lessons learned was shared on the New Philanthropy Capital blog to share insights more widely.

Year at a glance

These are challenging times for the charity sector with need outstripping available resource. We are very proud of the way our staff are responding—producing practical support and guidance to support the sector to do its job of helping people most affected and making sure its impact is maximised.

Despite this, in the last year we have (1) faced challenges in meeting our income targets; (2) experienced longer lead-times on funding decisions; and (3) faced upward pressure on salaries and other costs. This is similar to many other charitable organisations. We’ve worked hard to reduce our costs through a combination of different initiatives. The net result is that we reported a £4,585 unrestricted deficit.

We have been cautiously optimistic in setting our budget for the year ahead and in our mediumterm financial projections. We’ll focus our income-generation efforts in areas where we can deliver the most impact, whilst scaling our cost base wherever possible.

Total income for the year was £3.1m, a decrease of 10% (2023: £3.5m).

Total expenditure for the year was £3.5m, a decrease of 10% (2023: £3.9m).

18

  1. Financial Review

  2. Direct costs - £0.7m. £0.3m lower than last year mainly due to less grants paid to other organisations, partly offset by higher payments to project partners & associates.

  3. Premises & office costs - £0.2m. Lower due to non-recurring office move costs incurred last year.

Our reserves policy and unrestricted funds target

The trustees believe that committed income should be considered alongside unrestricted reserves when considering the adequacy of reserves. The trustees’ aim for total unrestricted reserves and committed income to cover between 3 and 6 months of planned expenditure in the year ahead.

At 30 June 2024 we had:

We expect average monthly expenditure in the year to 30 June 2025 to be £305,764. The total of unrestricted reserves and committed income will therefore cover approximately 6.4 months of budgeted expenditure. This marginally higher our reserves policy but considered reasonable due to continued uncertainty about funding for consulting and think tank services and an expected unrestricted deficit in the financial year ending 30 June 2025.

The trustees are confident that New Philanthropy Capital has sufficient reserves and committed income to fund its planned activities.

  1. Financial Review

Our structure, management and governance

New Philanthropy Capital is a charitable company limited by guarantee. Each of our trustees have agreed to contribute up to £1 towards the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up. We were incorporated on 2 July 2001 and registered as a charity on 27 March 2002. Our trustees are the directors of the company and seek to adhere to the principles set out in the Charity Governance Code.

Our trustees

We have an experienced and committed board contributing a range of perspectives and expertise. Our trustees set clear strategic goals, agreed annually along with performance targets, with progress reviewed at each meeting. Our trustees believe that people with different perspectives and experiences will bring new ideas, robust debate, better decisions and better impact. Our trustees regularly assess their own performance and complete a skills assessment to direct training, support, and recruitment. New trustees go through an induction programme. Individual trustees may get involved in areas outside of board meetings according to their skills, experience and interests.

Our management and staff

Day-to-day activities are led by our chief executive. They are responsible for developing strategies, products, and services within overall guidelines and policies set by the trustees; representing New Philanthropy Capital externally; and for ensuring that our values are communicated and observed in our working practices.

Our chief executive is supported by our senior management team—the chief operating officer, the director of research and consulting, the head of communications, the head of policy, the head of development and an HR consultant—and our staff. During the year ended 30 June 2024, we employed an average of 49 employees, of whom many worked part-time, giving 44 full-time equivalent employees. More detail is provided in note 8 to the financial statements.

Our approach to pay

As the leading think tank and consultancy for the charity sector, we aim to attract staff from the notfor-profit sector as well as the public and private sectors—and to pay our people accordingly. Pay is reviewed at least annually, in accordance with our published pay policy which encompasses recruitment & retention, affordability, performance, proportionality and transparency. We are an accredited Living Wage employer. We do not hire unpaid interns, and staff at all levels have access to the same benefits, including pensions.

20

  1. Financial Review

Our trading subsidiary

The charity has a wholly-owned trading subsidiary, NPC Trading Limited. The company did not trade during the years ended 30 June 2023 or 30 June 2024.

Our conduct at work

We strive to uphold high standards and behaviour in all we do, recognising that this requires a commitment to continual learning and improvement. Our code of conduct sets out our expectations of all staff, trustees, and associates. The code is centred around four principles: professional competence and behaviour; ethical standards and integrity; representing New Philanthropy Capital and the sector; and working with others. Our code is underpinned by our policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion, harassment and bullying; whistleblowing, and complaints, all of which are published on our website.

We encourage all staff to speak up when they think something is wrong. Staff may speak confidentially to their line manager, a member of the senior management team, our HR business partner, our independent HR consultant, or a trustee. Staff may also speak to Protect, an independent whistleblowing charity.

Our approach to safeguarding

Much of our work involves communicating with the public and working directly with individuals and organisations to help them use their resources more effectively. This can include interaction with at-risk people, in person, online, or in another forum. We recognise that:

The welfare of our direct and indirect beneficiaries is paramount.

Our safeguarding policy is published on our website. It sets out our expectations and provides guidance to staff on how to identify and assess safeguarding risk at activity inception, designing and implementing appropriate actions to mitigate safeguarding risk, monitoring safeguarding risk throughout, and how to report and respond to any concerns.

21

  1. Financial Review

Our approach to the environment

We acknowledge that our activities have an effect on the environment, so we are committed to improving the sustainability of our working practices and behaviours whilst at work. Our environment policy is published on our website. It sets out the principles we seek to adhere to reduce our environmental impact. We recognise that this is an evolving area with new products

and practices becoming available, so we continue to identify opportunities for further improvement.

Annually we estimate our carbon emissions and offset by purchasing carbon credits.

Helping the sector

We fully offset 45.84 tonnes of wf CO2e for the calendar year ended 31 December 2023. ee

As well as looking at our own practices, we’ve launched the Everyone’s Environment programme in partnership with over 80 social and environmental charities to put people at the heart of confronting the climate and nature crises. We’re working with our partners to gather evidence of the impact that the environmental crises will have on different social groups, hear directly from people in these groups about what environmental solutions they want to see happen, and bring social and environmental charities together to address barriers to action and find common ground on policies.

Our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion

New Philanthropy Capital has a unique role in helping charities and funders be more impactful for the people they serve. We believe that a diverse, inclusive and equitable sector is essential to securing that impact. But currently, this is not the case. We believe that we can and should be part of a movement to make the sector more diverse, inclusive and equitable, working alongside and in partnership with other organisations with greater knowledge and lived experience of marginalisation.

New Philanthropy Capital itself needs to become even more diverse, inclusive and equitable. We have made some progress, but we need to do more. This is because we can only be part of the solution if we attract and retain diverse talent and also because diversity, equity and inclusion matters to us in and of itself. Our vision includes internal and external goals.

  1. External: We use and share our power to work alongside partners as part of a movement to encourage charities and funders to embed diversity and equity in their activities and adopt more inclusive practices.

22

  1. Financial Review

  2. Internal: We attract and retain a broad diversity of talent and have a strongly inclusive working culture which respects and celebrates differences. Our staff have equitable access to opportunities and support to meet their personal development and professional goals.

This vision is underpinned by a new, 3-year improvement plan approved by our trustees in 2024. The plan includes a set of objectives to deliver on our vision that are grounded in NPC’s values; and a set of actions across 6 supporting pillars of activity to deliver on those objectives.

Our approach to cyber security

Cyber-crime is an ever-present and increasing threat for all organisations. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, a government-backed scheme that provides us, our clients, and our other stakeholders with assurance that we have taken sensible steps to mitigate exposure to the most common cyber-attacks, such as staff training and awareness alongside IT controls.

Our approach to risk

New Philanthropy Capital has a risk management process to enable the trustees and management to assess risks and devise and implement strategies and controls to mitigate or address them. Our risk register is reviewed regularly by the senior management team and annually by trustees. The board considers the following to be highest-risk areas:

Risk Mitigating actions
Transition to a
new CEO
Trustees fully engaged and working alongside a specialist agency.
Appointment confirmed post-year end.
Regularly communicating with our staff and external stakeholders.
Comprehensive induction planning.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of New Philanthropy Capital for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources (including the income and expenditure) of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

28

  1. Financial Review

On 19 November 2024 the company’s auditor changed its name from haysmacintyre LLP to HaysMac LLP.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The report of trustees has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions applicable to companies’ subject to the small companies' regime.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of New Philanthropy Capital

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of New Philanthropy Capital for the year ended 30 June 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

30

  1. Financial Review

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 28, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, 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 is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to company law and charity law applicable in England and Wales , and we considered the extent to

31

  1. Financial Review

which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2022 .

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the misstatement of revenue and the override of internal controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

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 noncompliance 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 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 for the audit of the financial statements is located 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

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable

  1. Financial Review

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024

1. Accounting policies

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are material in relation to the financial statements.

a) Basis of preparation

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 2019)—(Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on donations, grants and consulting income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

b) Public Benefit Entity

In reviewing New Philanthropy Capital’s aims and planning future activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. Our vision and mission show that New Philanthropy Capital is committed to helping charities and funders to achieve a greater impact. Our beneficiaries are therefore anyone helped by charities and funders—that is, the public at large.

All our activities contribute to our strategic aims and are for the benefit of the public. This report has set out New Philanthropy Capital’s activities and achievements and illustrates how they benefit charities and funders. By helping charities and funders to achieve a greater impact, we ultimately

37

  1. Financial Review

help the people that these charities and funders serve. The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

c) Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) when it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Donations are recognised when received. Legacies and gifts are taken into account on a receivable basis, but only when capable of exact financial measurement.

Consulting fees are recognised when receivable. Fees are receivable when the consultancy service has been provided by New Philanthropy Capital. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the charity can meet such conditions, the income is deferred.

Grants are grants are recognised as income when they become receivable. Where unconditional entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity’s control, the income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the charity can meet such conditions, the income is deferred.

d) Grant-making

Grants payable are classified as charitable expenditure. Grants payable are charged in the year that they are agreed by the trustees and with the recipient organisation. The value of any such grants unpaid at the year end is accrued. Grants where the beneficiary has not been informed or has to meet certain conditions before the grant is released are not accrued but are noted as financial commitments.

e) Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function and costs incurred in connection with the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, is apportioned on the following basis, which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity:

38

  1. Financial Review
Fundraising
6%
Communications
10%
Consulting
61%
Governance
10%
Think tank
13%

Irrecoverable VAT is apportioned on the same basis as central costs.

f) Expenditure on raising funds

Expenditure on funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in developing relationships with third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure.

g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £5,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Computer equipment over 3 years
Computer software over 3 years
Furniture and fixtures over 5 years
Office equipment over 5 years
Office fit out over the life of the lease
Leasehold improvements over the life of the lease

Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

h) Fund accounting

Funds held by the charity are either:

39

  1. Financial Review

i) Pension

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme through Aegon Scottish Equitable for all employees completing six months’ service. Membership of the scheme is not compulsory. Pension costs charged to the SOFA represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year.

j) Leases

Operating lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

k) Taxation

The charity is exempt from taxation on its charitable activities.

l) Investments

The investment in the subsidiary is being held at cost.

m) Financial instruments

Financial assets, such as cash and debtors, are measured at their present value of the amounts receivable, less an allowance for the expected level of doubtful receivables. Financial liabilities, such as trade creditors, loans and finance leases, are measured at the present value of the obligation. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of New Philanthropy Capital after deducting all of its liabilities.

n) 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.

o) Cash

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of 95 days or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

p) 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.

q) Judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include estimating the value of work in progress at the period end based on the percentage of work completed.

r) Statutory information

New Philanthropy Capital is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office address is 2[nd] floor, 93 Great Suffolk Street, London SE1 0BX.

Our Year in Stats

NPC is the think tank and consultancy for the social sector. Our mission is to help charities, foundations, philanthropists, impact investors, social enterprises, corporates, and the public sector to maximise social impact in the lives of the people they serve.

Through our publications, events, policy work, and consulting, we support individuals and organisations to improve their practices, we innovate and develop useful tools and approaches, we challenge and influence the sector and government, and we help to create the conditions for impact.

We also use our unique position, as a bridge between the social sector and its funders, to inspire bold initiatives. We use our convening power at a local, national, and international level and we advocate for the right policies, infrastructure, and funding to power the sector’s long-term aspirations. What’s more, we use our independent voice to call for a peoplecentred approach to society’s most systemic social issues.
