ACTION WEST LONDON TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Trustees overview On behalf of the Board. we are pleased to present the Trustees. Annual Report for Actlon West London for the year ended 31 March 2025. Over the year, Action West London has continued to respond with commitment and resilience to growing demand for our services. while navigating a thallenging finaniyal environment across the voluntary sector. Our CEO'S report in the following pages describes the breadth and qualty of the work that the charity has delivered. The board has remained focused on strong governance, robust financial oversight and effectiv8 risk management. working in close partnership with our Chief Executive and senior leadership team to support the delivery of the chartty'5 mission in the communities which we serve and position it well for the fubjre. The trustees reviewed financial performance and key strategic issues throughout the year and are satisfied that the charity's activities furthered its charitable purposes for public benefit. The Board also considered longer-term sustainability, including the potential disposal of assets and diversification of funding. The trustees are confident that appropriate systems of governance and control are in place. and we remain firmly committed to maintaining a board with the breadth of skills, experience and insight needed to tead Ihe charity 8ffectively and sustainably as described below. I thank our trustees, staff, volunteers and partners for their continuing support and dedication to the mi&8ion of Action West London. CEO'S report Action West London exists to reduce poverty and inequality through practical, community-led solutions rooted in employment, eduGation and enterprise. During 2024-25, this mission was pursu8d in an inueasingly challenging envlronment. Demand for support continued lo grow, while fundlng became more mpetitiVe, costs rose, and uncertainty across the voluntary sector intensified. In response, the organisation remained focused on impact, strengthened trusted partnerships. and took prudent strategic decisions to safeguard long-term sustainability. This year has reinforced th8 value of charities that are deeply rooted in place and trusted by the communities they serve. Action West London's role is to act as a connector and enabler - bringing together residents. faith groups, employers, funders and public bodies to create realistic routes OLrt of poverty for people who often fa multiple and overlapping balers. Community. Falth and Public Benefit In 202¥25. Action West London was honoured to receive the London Dangoor Award for Faith & Community. recognising our work with St Mary's Church in Acton and our wider contribution across West London. The award reflected the strength of our partnerships with faith groups and the important role they play in reaching people who may otherwise remain isolated from support. Our work with faith partners is inclusive and practical. focused on social cohesion, integration and opportunity rather than belief. During the year this included activity linked to green skills and environm8ntal responsibility. alongside targeted support for refugees and asylum seekers in Hayes and Hillingdon. These strands of work reflect our belief that SOCi81 juslice. economic inclusion and environmental responsibility musl be addressed together. Pla¢e4ased Working, Participation and the Circular Economy Place-based working remains central to Action West London's approach. At The Mount in Adon, th8 Your Mart(et, Your Mount user group has demonstrated how residents. community organisations. faith groups and public-sector partners can work together lo shape shared spaces. This has slrengthened community ownership. increased participation and reinforced trust betwe8n partners. Alongside this, Action West London has continued to deliver Reuse and Repair workshops and wider Reduce- Reuse-Recycle activity on The Mount through our Acton Market presence. These sessions have engaged local residents in practical environmental action, reduced waste, built ¢onfid8nce and transferable skills, and helped open up conversations about green jobs and the circular economy. The infomal, community-based nature of this work has proven particularly effective in engaging people who may not otherwise access structured training.
ACTION WEST LONDON TRUSTEES, REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Our movement and physical activity progpmme, supported by Sport England. has also continued to deliver important benefits for older r8sidents. helping to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and maintain ind8pendence. Ernployment, Skills and Inclusive Growth Employment remains central to Actlon West London's ¢haritab18 purpose. Throughout the year, we continued to deliver job brokerage, training and employability support focused on sustained employment and fair pay. Our approach recognises that many people we support face ¢ompl8x and intersecting challenges, and that progress is often about stsbility rather than speed. During 202Ék25, we were partlcularly proud to secure an Inclusive Talent Fund contract from the Greater London Authority to support people of colour into sustained employment. This was a highly competitive process, with more than 200 third-sector organisations applying and only tèn contracts awarded London-wide. Our success reflected both our delivery track record and the confidence placed in Acllon West London to work effectively with mMunitIeS experiencing structural labour-market disadvantag8. This work complemented our d81ivery under the UK Shared Prosperity Fund In partnership with E81ing Council, ensurlng residents across the borough could access tailored, plac&based employment support. Soclal Impact and Perfomiance Alongside qualitative feedback and lived experience. Action West London Continues to monitor deltvery data to understand reach, outcomes and areas for improvement. An analytl¢ overview of activlty across boroughs and programmes highlights both scale and focus. Between April 2024 and March 2025. Action Wesl London recorded 307 project starts, with 33 short vocational courses ¢omplet8d. During this period, 258 ESOL engagements were delivered. supporting language development and integration, and 129 employment outcomes were achieved. Vocational training included CSCS. Customer Service and SIA courses, rellecting local labour-market demand and employer need. To demonstrate its impact. Action West London produced a three-year Social Impad Report covering the period April 2022 to March 2025. Over this period. the charity supported 1,622 project starts, delivered 537 vocational short courses, and support8d 650 individuals into employment. Th8 report provides a consolidated picture of the scale. reach and outcomes of our work and is intended to support engagement with funders, employers and public authorities. Demographic analysis highlights that most beneficiaries are of working age, with 73.5% aged be88n 21 and 35, and a fvrther 17,6 /0 under the age of 21. The organisation continues to work predominantly with men, who rnade up 77 /0 of beneficiaries, reflecting both local need and the trusted routes through which peop18 access supporl. Refugees. Asylum Sèekers and Incluslon Support for refugees and asylum seekers in Hayes and Hillingdon r8mained a core strand of our work. Through ESOL provision, employability support and practical guidance. we helped indlviduals navigate dally life in the UK while building confidence and pathways towards employment. This work is grounded in dignity and respect, recognislng both the challenges people face and the skills and resilience Ihey bring with them. Employer Partnershlps Action West London continues to work closely with employers who share our commitment to inclussve growth. Our partnership with SEGRO has remained a key part of our Job-brokerage activity, Supporting local residents into employment and demonstrating how responsible businesses can contribute to tsd(ling inequalty. Durlng the year, we also strengthened our relationship with McLar8n Constructlon, whose engagement has supported our employability and skills agenda. These partnerships are built on trust and shared valu8s rather than transactional relationships, and they play an important role in ensuring economic development delivers tangible Community benefit. Financial Context and Strateg1¢ Doclslons The trustees and senior18adership team have remained Clear-eyed about the financial context facing the charity. Funding has become increasingly Competitive. wsts have risen, and financial resilience across the sector has b88n under pressure. In response. Action West London has prloritised sound financial management, income diversification and careful risk management. During the year, a strategic decision was taken to proceed with th8 sale of the Doughnut Factory. While this asset has historic and emotional significance, it is no longer aligned with the charity's long-term strategic direcllon. Although the transaction has not yet mpleted, the decision reflects a responsible approach to stewardship, aimed at strengthening the organisation's financial position, reducing risk and enabling greater focus on frontline delivery and future sustainability.
