LETTERS FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CEO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

Dear Supporter

I would like to say thank you to everyone involved in supporting Blueprint for All.

All of you have contributed to an exceptional year for the Charity. This report highlights all we have achieved in delivering our objectives for the year ending 31st March 2021.

The death of George Floyd, on 25th May 2020, brought into sharp focus the recognition that tangible action is urgently needed to create a world free of discrimination.

Due to our exceptional track record, leadership, and governance, Blueprint for All were positioned to respond to increased funding and donations by setting an ambitious new strategy and increasing our programmes, in order to accelerate and extrapolate our work.

A new paradigm will be achieved through concerted, meaningful, and intentional actions and we send our deep gratitude to our partners, supporters, and fundraisers for their continued support for, and amplification of, our work.

We are already making the necessary strides with our ground-breaking programmes and in-depth resources for young people, and community groups, but we also know the scale at which this needs to grow to make an impact on society. This requires sector-by-sector collaboration and working with progressive organisations, who share our beliefs and aspirations.

Although this past year has brought great uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I am delighted to applaud the determined and practical response from all at Blueprint for All. We have continued to deliver.

I would like to close with a thank you to Sonia Watson for her incredible work and to her exceptional team for all they have done for Blueprint for All. The report speaks volumes. I would also like to thank the Trustees for their dedication and commitment to our charity.

Yours sincerely

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

LETTERS FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CEO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Dear Supporter

2020 was an extremely challenging year for everyone. It is impossible to adequately convey our gratitude for the unprecedented support we have received that has enabled us to continue our vital work.

Blueprint for All continues to grow from strength-to-strength after another positive financial performance. A testament to our remarkable team, led by Chelsea Way our Head of Operations, each of whom continue to astound and inspire me with their commitment, creativity, and diligence, always ensuring our young people’s and communities’ needs are paramount.

Without the incredible support, via donations, time or expertise, Blueprint for All simply could not deliver the level of growth and impact to the disadvantaged and underrepresented young people we work with, our community groups, and society at large. Thank you to our fundraisers who are the life blood of Blueprint for All, and without whom we simply would be unable to deliver our tangible and transformative opportunities for those who receive our support.

The Covid-19 pandemic and its differentiated effect on the UK population, as well as the death of George Floyd and the subsequent BLM protests in the UK, have resulted in a degree of reflection, followed by a step-change in action from a large number of organisations. There has been a sharp, focused recognition that there is a need to be more inclusive in order to deliver business objectives and to attract talent. But this has been coupled with the sense that the ‘how to’ elements seem both complex and mysterious, with many organisations citing years of policy and programmes that have not delivered the promised scale of desired outcomes.

Over the past year, we have been approached by over 400 corporations seeking to work with Blueprint for All, to make an impactful change on diversity and inclusion within their industry. We are proud to be recognised as an ambitious, innovative, and diligent charity whose purpose, programmes and outcomes are notable for their success. I am proud to report that Blueprint for All has been awarded Charity of the Year by 25 organisations.

We are working with organisations developing mutually beneficial partnerships, ranging from our bespoke consultancy to achieving inclusion goals, to offering programme funding involvement and opportunities to ensure our shared objectives are achieved.

Our new strategic plan (2021–26) has been designed to set out the priorities and goals for Blueprint for All until 2026, built upon the values that we hold as an organisation. Each level of the strategy builds on the level before, guiding us towards our overall vision and mission.

Our strategy sets out our ambitious plans to accelerate and extrapolate our programmes across the UK that will ensure sustainable change for our participants and to influence policy and practice. Thank you to Olga Valadon, Sharnelle Mcloed (Deloitte) for their expertise and to Tracey Harrison for her peerless advisory work, to ensure our strategy is ambitious and underpinned by strong delivery methodology.

Those ambitions include exciting plans to expand our digital delivery via our three-stage Digital Transformation Project. The project began when we rolled out Workplace by Facebook to all staff, the BME Network Members and the Community Leadership Academy participants. The next stage is the launch of Guider, our mentor platform, and the final stage will be to launch our digital platform: Opportunities ‘Hub’. Watch this space!

LETTERS FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CEO FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Ours is a blueprint for a future where talent is respected and nurtured, irrespective of where it comes from. Where organisations recognise and realise the benefits of a diverse workforce, and where our communities can come together and thrive.

Thank you all for standing with us.

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

The Trustees present their annual report, together with the financial statements, for Blueprint for All for the year 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. The annual report serves the purposes of both a trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1st January 2019).

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

What we do

At Blueprint for All we work with young people and communities to create an inclusive society in which everyone, regardless of their race, ethnicity or background, can thrive. We believe in a future where talent is respected and nurtured irrespective of where it comes from, where organisations recognise and realise the benefits of a diverse workforce and where our communities can come together and thrive. This is our blueprint, to set the foundations for a more inclusive society to grow.

Our high impact programmes work with disadvantaged young people and communities, providing tangible opportunities and support that enables them to thrive, whilst driving systemic change in organisations and society.

Overview

Our report highlights the performance of Blueprint for All for the year ending March 2021 against its core objectives of creating a society in which everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity and support to flourish.

At Blueprint for All, we have over 23 years of experience fighting for a level playing field and we are now embarking on a new five-year strategy, where we hope to engage with our corporate allies to address disparity of opportunity and tackle disadvantage and discrimination for long-term, sustainable change. We are already making the necessary strides with our ground-breaking programmes and indepth resources for young people, but we also know the scale at which this needs to grow to make an impact on society. This requires sector-by-sector collaboration, working with progressive organisations who share our beliefs and aspirations to be an outspoken leader in this space.

In the last year, we have generated unprecedented corporate engagement. Over 400 new corporates have engaged with us, ranging from donations and strategic funding to partnership programme delivery, fundraising and pro bono expertise.

Separately, through our Building Inclusive Futures consultancy, we have advised and guided over 250 FTSE 350 organisations – aiming for reciprocal relationships to drive UK plc success, achieve systemic change and influence policymakers at the highest level.

Through this support, we can now accelerate the reach of our programmes nationally, increase opportunities for engagement between our partners and our programmes, and ultimately ensure that our impact on young people and communities never fades.

Furthermore, we have partners dedicated to supporting students from socio-economically disadvantaged and Minority Ethnic backgrounds at selected universities, to inspire and enable them to succeed in their choice of education and career.

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Why we matter

Disadvantage starts early

We believe all young people should receive the education, training and support they need to reach their potential. Too many young people start at a disadvantage.

Getting into employment is harder for some groups than others

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enter the career of their choice based on their skills and abilities, not their background.

Career progression is not equal

We believe that everyone should be able to progress in their chosen career based on their skills and performance, not limited by factors unrelated to their work.

Recipients

At Blueprint for All, we don’t accept that your background defines what you can achieve. We work with young people aged 13 to 30 to broaden their view of what is possible. We help them to gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need to pursue the career of their choice, and we support them to progress through the early stages of their career. We work with schools to broaden young people’s view of what is possible and help them gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need. We support young people through further education, and we help them as they progress through the early stages of their career, when many feel the challenges most keenly. We also work with community groups, companies and others, to create a fairer society in which everyone can thrive. We also work with the government, businesses and communities to create a society in which everyone, regardless of their background, has the opportunity and support to flourish.

We have focused on five strategic themes – enabling us to realise our vision and mission.

We want to move beyond outdated, traditional relationships and instead embrace transformational and strategic partnerships with progressive organisations across a multitude of sectors that share our values, beliefs and aspirations to be an outspoken leader in this space.

1. Support higher numbers of underrepresented and disadvantaged young people

3. Influence societal change and social policy

4. Establish national reach for our programmes and our purpose

5. Develop sustainable relationships with sponsors and partners

6. Challenge ourselves to be the best charity that we can be

It is our hope that these strategic objectives will enable us to deliver real opportunity to socioeconomically disadvantaged young people, by developing and nurturing their talent, championing their aspirations, and thereby achieving real social change.

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

About our name: Blueprint for All

On 10th December 2020, our name was changed to Blueprint for All. The renaming was achieved with sincere thanks to the talented Lothar Bohm Associates (LBA), who masterminded this exceptional and challenging project and despite our protestations, delivered it 100% pro bono. We are proud that LBA, from a longlist of over 100 possibilities, helped us to decide on a name which subtly references Stephen Lawrence’s ambition to become an architect, and is a name inspired by the seminal 1967 speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. ‘Blueprint for Life’.

Our new name provides an important link to our past and sets out our ambitions for the future.

The ‘Blueprint’ in our new name signifies that we have a clear plan to create the changes our society needs and ensures Stephen’s ambition is always recognised as part of our origins. The ‘for All’ highlights our belief that the same opportunities and support should be open to everyone, not limited because of someone’s race, ethnicity, or background.

It also speaks of our collaborative approach, and the role we all need to play, in creating a fairer and more inclusive society.

Pro bono partners

We are indebted to our partners who have donated an invaluable volume of their time, expertise and resource to us at Blueprint for All.

Bates Wells

Bates Wells has provided us with pro bono legal work, without whom our small charity is vulnerable to the task of maintaining all the challenges presented by sustaining good governance but restrained by funding, to secure strong relevant charity legal advice. We are grateful for Bates Wells, particularly to Samara Lawrence, for their ongoing support to put the right policies and procedures in place.

We contributed to the Diversity in Action guide, put together by Bates Wells for the charity sector. With diversity and inclusion high on the agenda across the third sector, Bates Wells has produced a guide for clients looking to develop and instil best practice into its organisation’s culture.

People Business

People Business awarded us Charity of the Year status in 2020, and generously offered pro bono hours to support Blueprint for All with HR support. They have provided us with some extremely impressive support to launch our values and objectives, plus audit our HR policies. The breadth and skillset of the team is invaluable as our charity continues to grow.

Stephenson Harwood

Stephenson Harwood are working with us pro bono on our programmes and has made a commitment to improve and widen the access to the law profession in the UK as well as providing us vital legal advice in particular for our trademark and new name which launched in January 2021.

Through our partnership, Stephenson Harwood have also donated over £4,000 this year, produced an online careers toolkit and furthermore announcing a commitment to donate £10,000 in the next year.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Deloitte

Deloitte's strategic support has been transformative to our charity. As a ground-breaking partner to Blueprint for All, their resources and expertise has helped to amplify our message, reach, and provide tangible opportunities to young people, community groups and the Blueprint for all team.

Some notable achievement from the partnership (to name a few):

“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Blueprint for All as part of Deloitte’s Black Action Plan and our goal to impact 5 Million Futures across north and south Europe by 2030. Aligned to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, 5 Million Futures is part of Deloitte’s Global World Class commitment to empower 50 million people by 2030. It is addressing inequality by overcoming barriers to education and employment, and equipping individuals with the skills to succeed in today’s economy. We are launching a bursary programme with Blueprint for All which will offer financial support and mentoring, skills workshops and opportunities to apply to work at Deloitte to eligible students at five universities. We are also offering a three-day virtual programme to year 12 students to gain a firsthand look at careers within Deloitte. In addition to this, we are also supporting Blueprint for All through fundraising and other exciting pro bono work”.

Fundraising

We are proud of our allies who give up their time to help young people and community stakeholders on our programmes and to support our vital work.

Allies who have donated both time and money during 2020–21 include:

Corporate partnerships: We are grateful to have been chosen as Charity of the Year or Choice by 25 different organisations.

Corporate programme sponsors: Our proven array of programmes is ever expanding across the UK. To help sustain the impact we are having across careers, communities and society, we offer corporates the opportunity to fund, part-fund or sponsor our programmes at different levels.

Charitable trusts: Our programmes continue to be supported by a number of charitable trusts and foundations, including the Clothworkers Foundation and the National Lottery Community Fund.

Individual supporters: We receive donations from our supporters in a number of ways, including regular direct debits, payroll giving, long-term supporter commitments, one-off gifts and responses from fundraising appeals.

Fundraising on our behalf: We are fortunate enough to be able to provide places in some of the most coveted challenge events in the UK, including the Virgin Money London Marathon.

Regular donor growth

Since May 2020, the number of donors who chose to support Blueprint for All increased to more than 25,000. One group of donors who contributed greatly to our increased support were those who made a regular commitment by direct debit.

11

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

As a mark of gratitude, we welcomed all of those making monthly contributions of more than £5 per month to be part of our regular donor scheme – Bronze supporters at £5 per month, Silver supporters at £10 per month, and Gold supporters at £25 per month. During the year, this amounted to more than 5,500 supporters, and their commitment means we have been able to increase our impact within the communities we support. The rise in regular donations demonstrates the breadth of support we have received nationally, which has enabled us to better plan our future programmes.

Fundraising stories: challenge and community fundraising

Challenge events were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and large events such as the London Marathon were conducted virtually. We had to heavily rely on our community during the lockdown periods, and in the wake of George Floyd’s death many more people took the mantle on and undertook their own challenges, raising money and spreading awareness of the charity. One such challenge was undertaken by Ope and Manny, who covered 84.6 miles (more than three marathons) to do their part in the fight for equality for underrepresented groups. Manny said: “I no longer felt helpless, or that I had to sit by and idly do nothing; after running that marathon, I felt like I had contributed in some way, shape, or form to a solution, which is the best feeling”.

In total, 480 fundraising pages were created by our community fundraisers, with income of over £330,000 for Blueprint for All.

Ripon Grammar School

The pupils at Ripon Grammar School were determined that lockdown and social distancing rules wouldn't stop them from raising thousands of pounds for Blueprint for All, with their activities running well into 2021. ] 8 A 8 : * f Although they couldn’t hold the usual whole school Charity Week events such as music concerts, staff pantomimes, comedy ee fap? Gens i> , & performances and dance competitions, student leaders encouraged the whole school to get behind a new way of fundraising throughout the school year. The fundraising team organised non-uniform days, a sponsored Everest stair climb and a Christmas raffle, as well as sponsored walks and reads. The school officers also used their fundraising campaign to provide educational insight into racism and the valuable work we do.

University of Warwick Sports Clubs

Warwick Sports Clubs competed in a challenge comprising of 27 days of physical activities. The exercise marathon was called the ‘634 Challenge’. The team raised £170! “This anti-racism relay has been a key way of engaging and informing those within and outside of our club in the fight against racism, by working from the ground up as a collective of clubs to work towards such a necessary goal and support the incredible work of Blueprint for All.” – University of Warwick Women’s Cricket Club

James Murray

After the challenging last year, we’ve all had, James decided to take on the challenge of running #3sub3for3; three marathons, all under three hours, for three different charities. “As a SE London resident for the last ten years, it was so important to me to support charities that are doing amazing work locally.

I also wanted to support a charity that is tackling inequality and supporting young people in our community. Blueprint for All is doing exactly that. I think that creating an inclusive society is the most important work we can be doing, and focussing on our local community is the best place to start.”

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Stephen Lawrence Day is a day of celebration of Stephen’s life and legacy and was announced by the then prime minister, Rt Hon Theresa May MP, at the 25th anniversary memorial service in 2018. The key purpose of the day is about recognising the part we all play in creating a society in which everyone can flourish. It is an opportunity for children and young people to have their voices heard, make the changes they’d like to see, and build a society that treats everyone with fairness and respect.

Since its inception in 2018, the Stephen Lawrence Day has focused on three main initiatives: a school strand, a community strand, and a campaign and social media strand.

The early intervention and community-based activities (both in schools and in the community) support several the Home Office and the Department for Education policy areas, including serious violence, hate crime, character, resilience, and well-being.

With many students isolated from their usual school environment, and our planned events unable to go ahead due to Covid-19, this year’s Stephen Lawrence Day went digital with a focus on how when lots of people take small actions, together we can make a big difference. We launched a series of learning resources designed to help young people get involved in the day, and to learn and connect with their communities. Many of our partner groups and organisations also created resources and ran online events and social media campaigns, helping us reach more people. Our own resources were accessed over 12,000 times and we reached over 138 million impressions on social media.

Blueprint for All extends a thank you to everyone who got involved and helped to make the second Stephen Lawrence Day such a success, we could not have done it without you!

Our programme strands

Our high impact programmes work with disadvantaged young people and communities, providing tangible opportunities and support that enables them to thrive, whilst driving systemic change in organisations and society.

Building careers

We work with schools, universities, community groups and employers to inspire and enable young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, aged 13–30 to pursue the career of their choice.

From career advice to support gaining skills, qualifications and the critical foundations required to ensure professional success, we aid young people on their journey to a fulfilling and successful career.

Diverse recruitment specialist Urban, is a long-time supporter of Blueprint for All and shares our belief that everyone should be able to reach their full potential based on their skills and abilities, not their background. Together we have set up a ground-breaking partnership to make the important connection between skilled people from underrepresented groups and employers in the built environment, who want to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Supporting communities

We run programmes that support community groups working with people from BAME backgrounds to maximise their impact and make positive changes for local people.

Our BME Network supports over 120 small voluntary and community groups, and our Community Leadership Academy provides learning and development tailored to the needs of small and micro charities that are led by, or serve people, from BAME backgrounds. In partnership with other national and local charities, our Love, Sex, Life Partnership project challenges inequalities in accessing and the provision of sexual health services for BAME communities in Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Our vibrant network of voluntary and community groups show how effective small groups can be but because of challenges, such as due diligence and knowing how to connect and work with small organisations, most companies only support those with much larger turnovers – often over £1m. This means resources are never invested in the organisations working with local communities on the ground. We are growing our work in helping companies to channel their support to small organisations, where they can have a big impact. Whether it is sharing expertise and training or utilising corporate social responsibility days to make a real difference, we are expanding our approach to connect companies and community groups, facilitating the relationship to maximise the benefits to both.

Enriching society

We are working to create a society where talent is respected and nurtured irrespective of where it comes from, where organisations recognise and realise the benefits of a diverse workforce, and where our communities can come together and thrive.

All our work is designed not only to support our beneficiaries, but also to drive systemic change in organisations and society, as a whole.

Programme highlights

Love, Sex, Life Partnership

The Love, Sex, Life Partnership project launched in April 2020, was commissioned by Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham councils, to address the sex and reproductive health inequalities disproportionately disadvantaging BAME, and notably Black, communities in the named three boroughs; this project was launched to redress these inequalities. The partnership is made up of the lead partner Brook, a national charity that offers clinical sexual health services and wellbeing and education services, Naz Project, a BME focused sexual health and wellbeing charity, Shape History, a social impact communications agency, and Blueprint for All, providing the inclusion and BME community expertise.

Within this partnership project, the aims being addressed are:

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

The project went through the set up and delivery process from January to March 2020. However, the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic and the directive for social distancing in March 2020, led to a necessary replanning for how the partnership would work together to continue to deliver the project. The plans were amended to enable the project to have successfully launched on 1st April 2020, as planned.

Pathways to Professions

We wrapped up the first year of our flagship secondary school careers programme, Pathways to Professions, in May 2021. This programme, as funded by The Clothworkers Foundation, saw us work with five schools in London and Manchester: Oaklands School (Tower Hamlets, London), Deptford Green (Lewisham, London), Addey & Stanhope (Lewisham, London), Stretford Academy (Manchester), and Chorlton High (Manchester). Each school received specialist interventions for a targeted cohort of students in years 8–10 from BAME, underprivileged and/or financially deprived backgrounds.

For each school we provided them with workshops, delivered by a range of inspiring industry professionals, to provide skills and insights necessary for professional success. We also provided career talks from relatable role models, small-group or 1:1 mentoring and a suite of bespoke and highquality resources to support young people to aspire to greater career pathways.

All students in our Pathways to Professions programme, and in our wider school network, received our three toolkits: Getting into law , Getting into architecture , and A guide to publishing , created with our industry specialist partners: Stephenson Harwood, HKS Architects, and Hachette publishing, respectively.

Partnership for Change: Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)

The RIBA provided funding to enable the programmes team to grow and to provide dedicated built environment support. We were pleased that the appointed new member of the programmes team was a previous Building Futures alumni, who had received mentoring within our programme, had taken part in a previous social value project and who had benefited from the insights and network of our flagship built environment programme.

The RIBA funded role, the Participation Officer for the Built Environment [POBE], was focused on increasing engagement of our architecture and built environment alumni, re-establishing our mentoring programme, and establishing a workshop series for this cohort. During the tenure of this POBE, we arranged for 60 mentor and mentee pairings between our beneficiaries and senior architects from our partner practices.

We also established a series of ‘Building Futures Talks’ which upskilled our beneficiaries with industry insights, relevant software upskilling, CV and portfolio review and useful interview guidance. The support from the RIBA that enabled us to draw from the creativity of an appointed Building Futures alumni, also saw us establish a new flagship workshop series called ‘ Evening Talks’ , in which our alumni were able to hear exclusively from BAME identity leaders within architecture and the built environment.

This was part of our dedication to increasing the representation of the industry, removing the artificial barriers that our beneficiaries navigate and providing opportunities for our beneficiaries to co-plan and facilitate events alongside senior built environment professionals.

Delivering Differently

Our responsibility to continue supporting our beneficiaries, whose disadvantages were being exacerbated by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, received timely support from Bloomberg. We were successful in the London Community Response Fund round two, as Bloomberg awarded us with a grant in the ‘Delivering Differently’ funding round. This enabled us to embark on our programme, which had a dual focus of skills acquisition support, and mental health and wellbeing provision for our secondary school and young adult beneficiaries.

We partnered with a range of built environment organisations, to share insights with our young adults on how to continue to thrive amidst the additional challenges posed in the pandemic, and three BAME led mental health and wellbeing organisations: Mabadiliko, and Social Inclusion Recovery Group (both of whom are also Lewisham BME Network members), and Good to Me.

Over 14 specialist resources for our beneficiaries and, where applicable, their school staff were disseminated across the UK. Our resources were shared with 350 young people aged 18+ and with students aged 13–16 at schools throughout the UK.

Blueprint for All bursaries

Ongoing support from the architectural practices, that funded our previous bursary awards, meant that we were able to offer continuation bursarial support to all existing bursary award holders who had yet to complete their ‘Part’ of study.

We made 12 continuation bursary awards, five of which were students who had participated in our social value projects with Karakusevic Carson Architects and others. Bursary recipients represented universities such as Greenwich, Manchester, UCL, and Ravensbourne.

Bursary recipients noted that the support had a greater impact this year as their familial financial situations had worsened due to the impact of Covid-19, and all recipients commented that the bursary made it plausible for them to continue pursuing their career of choice – architecture.

“It aided me through a difficult time as it was impossible to find a job due to the pandemic that occurred.” Farah Tahini – 3rd Year of Part 2

“The bursary has helped me in my journey through university in ways you cannot imagine. It has lifted me through dark times and relieved me from a great deal of financial stress.” Farah Tahini – 3rd Year of Part 2.

“The charity had provided me with confidence in what I do as they're like a backbone helping me whenever I need information or ask for opportunities. I also have a great mentor who I met through the trust, whom helped me with my portfolio.” Ceren Ocakkuran – 3rd Year of Part 2.

“I have been part of the trust for a while now and have engaged with several workshops that they have hosted, and I have found them to be extremely insightful and beneficial for my educational development as well as thinking about future aspirations and goals.” Bupesh Hiraini – 3rd Year of Part 2.

Black Third Sector Summit

In October 2020, we hosted our inaugural annual Black Third Sector Summit. This three-day summit was themed: The Black Third Sector – Survival in the era of Covid-19. Day one focused on Black health and health inequalities, day two on children, young people and education, and day three on Black employment and enterprise.

We invited expert contributions from the Love, Sex, Life Partnership, NHS professionals, leaders from our corporate partner organisations, the charity sector and other third sector professionals, and entrepreneurs from across the UK.

The summit was attended by over 300 delegates, and we delivered a high quality and varied agenda each day that suited the online platform and was optimised for those from, and in support of, the Black Third Sector.

Community Leadership Academy

Building upon the pilot Leadership Academy in 2019, we developed the Community Leadership Academy funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation, Standard Life Aberdeen Charitable Foundation, and Google through the Tides Foundation.

Support from these three funders enabled us to establish three cohorts totalling 55 participants: nationally with a focus on London for one cohort, and Lewisham and south-east London for the other two cohorts.

All programme participants were leaders of small or micro BME community-based organisations, and received specialist leadership workshops focusing on HR, finance, fundraising, social media, legal and governance, and other areas required to make an organisation flourish.

Design competition with Brick By Brick

Croydon-based developer Brick By Brick partnered with us to launch the design competition ‘Housing for a Better World’. The competition represents the first step for Brick By Brick in redefining the architects and architectural practices it works with, to ensure not only that the homes respond to the needs of the diverse population in Croydon, but that they are designed and built by people who are more representative of the local population.

Jas Bhalla Architects won on the strength of its ‘Parade Living’ concept, which seeks to improve poor quality housing above linear retail parades – a type of housing which is common in Croydon and disproportionately used by minority ethnic groups.

Chloe Phelps, Head of Design and Commercial at Brick By Brick/Common Ground Architecture, said: “This competition has shown how, with the right process, you can identify talented and exciting practices and architects from all backgrounds. We’ve learnt that by integrating the thinking into the process, the result is a more diverse field – and we hope the wider industry will start to take this approach.”

#ChangeMakers campaign

As part of our celebrations for Black History Month, we launched our #ChangeMakers campaign, highlighting some of the incredible groups and individuals we work with and support, who are making a difference to their community.

The campaign showcased the work of Joel Dunn, founder and CEO of Paradigm Project, Mwila Mulenshi, founder of Success Looks Like You, and Luke AG, who supports Eggtooth and other community projects. It has been hard to track, but we know that our combined followers, with all the partners who supported the campaign, is well over 3 million on Instagram and over 480,000 on Twitter, bringing our message to new audiences.

Building Future’s Adult

Our charitable focus on expanding our young adult careers provision beyond the built environment. We launched the Building Inclusive Futures: Financial and Creative Pathways programme, which supports our beneficiaries aged 18–30 to pursue and excel within these professional industries.

We have partnered with American Express UK’s Serve 2gether team to create a Getting into Financial Pathways toolkit , and to provide a series of finance workshops and mentoring sessions for our beneficiaries in 2021–22. These will be complimented by sessions with other finance partners and creative partner individuals and organisations.

Connecting People and Places

The Connecting People and Places project phase two, as funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, has continued with a focus on the development of a podcast series exploring the value of built environment heritage for UK BAME communities. This podcast series springboards from the Connecting People and Places Open House submission: https://vimeo.com/461609070/172164297d.

The podcast series includes five episodes with contributions from our alumni regional project coordinators Cyprian Boateng and Tobi Sobowale, the POoR Collective (which includes Building Futures programme and bursary alumni), and other leading minds such as Ann De Graft Johnson, Ibiye Camp, and Olivia Bellas of the Greater London Authority.

#BeMoreInclusive

Our flagship diversity recruitment partnership with built environment specialist urban was launched in 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, when much of the built environment and architecture sectors were facing involuntary hiring freezes. Our #BeMoreInclusive programme was supported by many practices, both previously known to us such as HTA and HKS, and newer practices.

The decision was made for Blueprint for All and urban to proceed with the #BeMoreInclusive hiring programme, including retaining our goal of placing 20 talented BAME candidates in Part 1 and 2 roles and an aim of raising £20,000 for the charity. In March 2021, we were pleased to report that we surpassed the year one target and over £24,000 was raised through successful placements of diverse talent into practices.

Lewisham BME Network

Blueprint for All has been able to continue the facilitation of the Lewisham BME Network, with a seamless transition to a wholly digital network facilitation starting in March 2020. The Network, as funded by Lewisham Council, has grown to over 105 members, with steady meeting attendance at approximately one third of attendees.

In March 2021, as part of the ongoing focus on capacity building of network members, to the benefit of the entire BME community of Lewisham, we alongside Naz (our project partner from the Love, Sex, Life Partnership) delivered a bespoke session on fundraising and corporate partnerships for BME organisations in Lewisham. Attendees heard insights from the corporate partnerships and fundraising colleagues of Blueprint for All and Naz, which provided context-specific tips on how to establish a case for support, find and gain corporate financial or in-kind support, and how to utilise crowd funding successfully. The capacity building session received positive feedback from all the 30+ network members in attendance and over 25 requested a similar follow-up capacity building session.

Blueprint for All in partnership

In the last year, we have generated unprecedented corporate engagement. Over 400 new corporates have engaged with us, ranging from donations and strategic funding to partnership programme delivery, fundraising and pro bono expertise.

We have established relationships with corporations who are prioritising more inclusive cultures through the way they work and services they provide. We have also been working closely on opportunities for partners to deliver a range of specialist leadership development and capacity-building that is tailored to addressing the barriers that BAME community leaders and community groups face. This has been instrumental for both our beneficiaries and corporate partners, who without Blueprint for All would not have the opportunity to benefit from and deliver such tailored support.

Furthermore, our partners are dedicated to supporting students from socio-economically disadvantaged and BAME backgrounds at selected universities, to inspire and enable them to succeed in their choice of education and career.

Our partners

Corporate partners enable us to continue our work to create a fairer and more inclusive society where everyone, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background, can flourish. By collaborating, our partners have funded sustainable progress whilst supporting and empowering the lives of our beneficiaries. Thank you to all our partners for standing with us.

Abel & Cole

Abel & Cole’s partnership with Blueprint for All was established following its internal work with its equality and inclusivity committee. The committee was set up in 2020 as part of its ongoing B Corp journey. Abel & Cole have supported Blueprint for All with internal education pieces, donations and the commitment to assist and involvement with our programmes.

"What stands out about Blueprint for All is its focus on inspiring and nurturing talent through the work they do with disadvantaged young people, which in the longer term will help drive more diversity and inclusivity in the workforce. This work with young people is something Abel & Cole are passionate about driving forwards and one of the reasons we are so keen to work with Blueprint for All. We also wanted to support a charity where we could get actively involved as an organisation, from mentoring to hosting workplace visits. The pandemic may mean uncertain times, and whilst we’ve thus far made monetary donations, we are also looking to the future where we can share our industry knowledge and resources

“The video games industry can struggle to attract employees from diverse backgrounds. As with many organisations, the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests gave us cause to reflect. Whilst we have a strong employee led diversity group, we know there is a lot more we can do within our studio to improve diversity and inclusion. In parallel to a fundamental review of studio D&I, we want to use our established

Our philosophy

The Building Inclusive Futures consultancy is accelerating inclusion within the corporate and public sectors, by shifting the needle relating to the dialogue and actions necessary in order to achieve meaningful change in the workplace and beyond.

Consulting Client: River Island

Already a diverse business, River Island now required an inclusive workplace culture to support staff throughout the organisation. With ambitions to become the most inclusive fashion retail employer in the UK and to build a team that celebrates and reflects the customers they serve, River Island approached Blueprint for All’s Building Inclusive Futures consultants to help them.

As a result of our work, River Island have firmly embarked on their journey, having set strategic ED&I goals driven by the CEO. Their streamlined recruitment process is already proving successful, and we continue to support them make sustainable, long-term improvements towards full inclusivity.

Your Space

Our charitable aims are further supported by regular tenants and social businesses who are based at the centre. These tenants have a permanent fixed-office space, and our current tenants are Playback Studios, Mi-Soul Radio and Stop Hate UK.

Your Space offers a variety of co-working solutions from cafe vibe drop in, flexible hot-desking memberships, private offices to beautifully designed event spaces. Your Space continues to be an affordable and creative home for a wide range of businesses and individuals. It provides invaluable workspace where people can foster their ideas whilst being part of the Your Space community.

Covid-19

Your Space remained open for co-working and implemented a comprehensive plan to ensure the space remained Covid-19 secure. However, during the pandemic, our event spaces were closed.

We continue to focus our attention on fully occupying the centre, some of our residents include:

Hugo Alonso, Nura Content – visual content agency. Nura Content is a visual content agency specialising in photography, videography, animation, streaming, 360 and VR experiences to create impactful work that reflects brands.

Juanjo Ortiz Peregrina, Ortiz Fruits – fruit importer. Ortiz Fruits select products from the best farms in European countries (eg Spain, Greece and Italy), African countries (eg Morocco and South Africa) and American countries (eg Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Brazil) to offer consumers the freshest and highest quality products.

Joel Dunn, Paradigm Project. Prevention mentoring is an approach that the Paradigm Project believes can transform communities. It delivers sessions that addresses themes commonly experienced by young people. By identifying and exploring these themes at an early age, the Paradigm Project is able to disrupt problem behaviours or patterns. During this period, it has attracted co-workers from diverse fields, which in turn help to create a collaborative atmosphere.

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Governing document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was incorporated on 17th February 2004. On 1st April 2004 the company took on the activities of the Charitable Trust of the same name whose charity number was 1070860. The company was set up under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and appointment of Board of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Company's Articles are known as members of the Board of Trustees. Under the requirements of the Articles of Association one-third of trustees must retire by rotation at the annual general meeting and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Blueprint for All's work focuses on equality and diversity, access to education and learning, and the urban design professions. The Board of Trustees seeks to ensure that this focus is appropriately reflected through the diversity of Blueprint for All body. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, maintain a broad skill mix and in the event of skills being lost due to retirements, the charity has approached individuals to offer themselves for election to the Board of Trustees.

The existing Board of Trustees is drawn from a mix of professionals and educators. They recognise the need to refresh the Board to incorporate the skills and competencies necessary to move the Board forward.

The Secretary also sits on the Board but has no voting rights. A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services and operational management rest with the Chief Executive.

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit in relation to the objectives of the Charity. This report sets out those objectives and describes how they have been met in the current year.

Financial review

During the year, the charity had incoming resources of £6,033,972 (2020: £923,691), of which £477,672 (2020: £584,551) represented restricted income and £5,556,300 (2020: 339,140) unrestricted income.

Total expenditure amounted to £1,167,842 (2020: £803,955), broken down into £378,452 (2020: £598,717) restricted expenditure and £789,390 (2020: £205,238) unrestricted expenditure. This resulted in net restricted income, after fund transfers, of £103,630 (2020: net restricted expenditure of £14,166) and net unrestricted income, after fund transfers, of £4,762,500 (2020: 133,902).

Total restricted funds carried forward at the year end amounted to £1,724,746 (2020: £1,621,116) and net unrestricted funds carried forward amounted to £5,559,338 (2020: £796,838), with total funds at the year end being £7,284,084 (2020: £2,417,954).

Trustee induction and training

The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Articles of Association of the company, being by election at annual general meeting by members. The company was not under the control of any one person or corporation. Most Trustees are already familiar with the work of the Charity and their training involves briefings on their duties and liabilities from professional advisors and Board of Trustees

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

workshops/away-days focusing on policy development and governance. Additionally, new Trustees receive an induction pack including:

Key management remuneration

The Trustees convene an annual remuneration sub-committee who determine the salary increases (if appropriate) for senior members of staff.

Reserves policy

The Blueprint for All reserves policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue over a period of up to 18 months of operating costs should a shortfall in income occur and to take account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.

At 31 March 2021, the charity held total reserves of £7,284,084, with unrestricted reserves amounting to £5,559,338. £1,422,716 (2020: £1,458,374) of restricted reserves were tied up in the charity’s building, The Stephen Lawrence Centre.

Unrestricted reserves are currently in excess of the charity’s reserves policy. The reason for the increased level of reserves is a significant increase in income during the year, which could not yet have been utilised during the year. The trustees intend to reduce the level of reserves to 18 months of operating expenditure over the next 5 years.

Fundraising Policy

The charity is actively involved in fundraising activities either through regular donations from individuals and corporations or one-off donations. Members of the public are only approached if the charity has had previous contact with them and they are registered on its database (Donorfy), for which their prior agreement is required. Potential donors are approached by email, post or newsletter and are given the opportunity to opt out from receiving any fundraising communication from the charity.

During the year ended 31 March 2021, the charity did not receive any complaints about its fundraising activities and practices.

Key performance indicators

Blueprint for All adheres to key performance and outcome indicators set out by funders and contained within signed funding agreements, outlined in Programme Portfolio and Purpose (page 17).

In addition, Blueprint for All has performance indicators relating to:

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

Risk management

The Trustees consider the following as the primary risks to which the Charity Trust is exposed.

Your Space

The building is now fully occupied and covering its costs for the first time. However, there is always a risk that one of the licensees could move out causing a reduction in income, particularly during the redevelopment of the centre.

Funding

Corporate sponsorship, unrestricted donations, trusts, and foundations predominantly provide funding for the Charity. Long-term continuation funding bids are in the pipeline for a further £1m. In line with recommendations of Small Charities published by Lloyds Foundation and others, we are seeking to diversify income generation via Your Space, our regular donor scheme and Building Inclusive Futures Consulting.

In addition to the above, there is:

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors

In so far as the trustees are aware: there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware; and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Statement of the Trustees responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

37

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 (continued)

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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

Guarantors

The liability of each member of the company in the event of a winding up is limited by guarantee to £10.

Auditors

The auditors, RPG Crouch Chapman LLP, have signified their willingness to continue in office and a resolution for their re-appointment will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Small Company Provision

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees on 14[th] December 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLUEPRINT FOR ALL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Blueprint for All (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

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.

In our evaluation of the trustees’ conclusions, we considered the risks associated with the charity’s business model, including the effects arising from macroeconomic uncertainties such as COVID19 and analysed how those risks might affect the charity's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the period of twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In accordance with the above, we have nothing to report in these respects. However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the absence of reference to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.

39

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLUEPRINT FOR ALL – continued

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Capability of the audit to detect irregularities including fraud

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These included, but were not limited to, compliance with Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and FRS102.

We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.

We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

40

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLUEPRINT FOR ALL – continued

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, 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.

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.

Other matters

The prior year's financial statements were not audited.

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLUEPRINT FOR ALL – continued

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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. General information

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales with the company number 05047204. The registered office address is The Stephen Lawrence Centre, 39 Brookmill Road, Deptford, London SE8 4HU. The members of the company are the Trustee named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

The principal activity of the charitable company remained that of promoting equality and diversity and supporting disadvantaged members of the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Community.

The financial statements have been prepared in Sterling and all amounts are rounded to the nearest £.

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Blueprint for All 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.

Going concern

At the time of approval of the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, this being at least one year from the date on which the accounts were approved. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

46

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 - continued

Income - continued

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the charity’s accounting policies.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

47

BLUEPRINT FOR ALL (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 - continued

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation - continued Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: Long-term leasehold property - 2% Straight Line Fixtures and fittings - 20-33 1/3% Straight Line Computer equipment - 20-25% Straight Line

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

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

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

Financial instruments

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.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Bursaries

The full amounts of bursary grants approved by the Trustees are included in expenditure in the year in which they are awarded. Amounts unpaid at the year end are included in creditors payable within twelve months and after twelve months, as appropriate.

Volunteers and donated services and facilities

The value of services provided by volunteers in incorporated into these financial statements. Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from suppliers, this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimated useful lives and residual values of fixed assets

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets has been based on estimated useful lives and residual values deemed appropriate by the Trustees. Estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and will be revised as appropriate. This particularly affects the Stephen Lawrence Centre, whose depreciation has a significant impact on the SOFA.

Critical areas of judgment

The carrying value of fixed assets, in particular The Stephen Lawrence Centre, is reviewed and assessed periodically and adjustments to the carrying value are made by the Trustees if indications for a change in value are present.

Pro bono donations for services are included in the accounts at fair value, this being based on information provided by the suppliers as to how much they would charge for similar services on the open market.
