We work with young people, communities, and organisations to create an inclusive society in which everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity or background is provided with tangible opportunities to thrive.
Every person, regardless of their background, has the opportunity and support to flourish in a society that recognises and values them.
Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.
We believe in a future where talent is respected and nurtured irrespecttve 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 young people and communities, giving them the best possible chance of making a difference in the world whilst driving systemic change in organisations and society.
We work across the UK to drive sustainability into community groups enabling them to support the demographic we serve. Finally, we drive systemic change by offering bespoke consulting services designed to challenge those organisations committed to creating an inclusive workplace culture.

Check out our latest case study below, from an awardee and participant of Blueprint for All's programmes:
Pg. 10
As part of Blueprint for All's ongoing mission to spotlight diversity, we commissioned a series of original research reports with over 500 young people to get to not only understand how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted their path to higher education/professional careers, but to hear directly from the people we support to better understand their perspective.
In our Lite Chances surve'i, Blueprint for All uncovered stork findings that revealed that young people who've encountered cultural disadvantages in their life were disproportionately affected by the pandemic. We found that:
-
73% of young people from vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds have had to take on a job/work to supplement their student loan, which is a key barrier to staying in education.
-
45% of students from vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds agree that they have abandoned their plans for a professional career because of factors related to the pandemic.
-
64% of young people surveyed have had to take on additional work to supplement their student loan, with a for higher percentage (73%) of young people from a disadvantaged background compared to those from a non-disadvantaged background (39%).
These alarming statistics underscore the importance of supporting individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. whether through financial aid via our Deloitte Bursary programme or career assistance provided through initiatives like Building Futures or our Pathways to Professions programmes.
Our Terminology Report provided insight into young people's preferred language to describe themselves in public discourse; to understand how cultural and racial descriptors are used to provide a positive or negative perception. The results were illuminating, revealing that the widely used term 'BAME' is not an inclusive acronym. Instead, the phrase 'people of diverse ethnic heritage' emerged as the most favoured descriptor for discussing ethnicity and identity. This focus on inclusivity and elevating diverse voices is central to Blueprint for All's ideology. .iHHi

MY LUEP I TFO ALL
Our new platform can be found here. Blueprint for All's digital transformation is helping the charity to become an online pioneer. Our work to create the online platform My Blueprint for All is transforming how we support young people. It will allow us to extrapolate our reach and transform lives os well os accelerating diversity within a whole range of industries.
With digital investment and the capacity of our delivery team strengthened, we believe the Platform will go on to reach 10,000+ young people, alongside the indirect benefit that comes from the wider network of programmes, resources and support offered by Blueprint for All and our range of partners.
==
Early Impact of My Blueprint for All
80% of users are from o Diverse Ethnic Heritage. 65% of users stated that their awareness of professional options has improved.
We have a customer satisfaction score of 4.2 out of 5; and a returning visitor rate of 54%.
Our digital transformation has created something unique: until now there is not one careers platform that exists that has all the support a young person of diverse ethnic heritage would need. When this is considered in line with an increasingly challenging socio-economic environment whereby people of diverse heritage are twice as likely to experience deep poverty. our work hos never been more needed.

Key management remuneration
The Trustees convene an annual remuneration sub-committee who determine the salary increases (if appropriate) for senior members of staff.
Financial Results
During the year, the group had incoming resources of £2,644.583 {2022: £2,764,855), of which
£ 1.288,579 (2022: £619,345) represented restricted income and the remainder being unrestricted.
Total expenditure amounted to £1,950,892 (2022: £1,611,656), with £1,094,140 (2022: £655.051) representing restricted expenditure and the remainder being unrestricted.
This resulted in net restricted income. after fund transfers of £75,688 {2022: £20,200), of £270, 127 (2022: net restricted expenditure of£ 15,506).
Net unrestricted income. after fund transfers. is £423.564 (2022: £1,168,705).
Total restricted funds carried forward at the year end amounted to £1,979,370 (2022: £1,709,243) and net unrestricted funds carried forward amounts to £7,168,605 (2022: £6,745,041}.
Reserves policy
The Trustees look at the high level financial projections over a 10 year planning horizon, based upon the charity's strategy, to build our Reserves Strategy Model. The Trustees have set a level equivalent to 12 months of operating costs for the organisation as o minimum level of rese,ves that must be maintained at all times. Currently. the charity holds surplus rese,ves i.e. actual free reserves are significantly in excess of this minimum level. By the later years in the 1 O yeor model the actual reserves are projected to be more modestly in
Blueorinf for All 3
Pg. 16
Blueprint for All Registered number: 05047204 Charily number: 1102267 (A company limited by guarantee)
excess of the minimum.
The Trustees have then reviewed expected drowdowns of the surplus tree reserves over the next 1 O years, caused by running annual deficits. In the earlier years of this planning horizon the charity is continuing the development and running of 'My Blueprint for All' and for the expansion of our current programmes. It is not expected that these planned commitments can be met by anticipated future income alone, and so deficits are projected. In the later years of the planning horizon, it is anticipated that as the charity matures further its income growth will be sufficient such that general costs can be covered, and so annual surpluses are projected.
After making appropriate enquiries with management. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have agreed a framework for the ongoing management of the charity's inves-tments. The framework seeks to earn a competitive financial return on the charity's investments, whilst also addressing:
-
concentration risk, so thot reserves are held across more than a single counterporty
-
credit risk, so reserves are not placed at high risk counterparties
-
liquidity risk, so thai sufficient reserves can be accessed when they are expected to be required
Cosh is held at Lloyds Bank for day-to-day working capital requirements. The charity also holds cash at Flagstone, which is a platform widely used across the charity sector offering access to a range of underlying bank deposit accounts.
The charity's Reserves Strategy Model shows that in the next 10 years, reserves are not expected to be below £2m. Therefore the charity is moving towards the placement of up to £2m level in the Sustainable Multi-Asset Fund managed by Cazenove, to manage this portion of the overall reserves over a longer time horizon. The fund is a multi asset fund with investments across a range of equities, bonds. and infrastructure assets.
Pg. 17
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The charity has developed on extensive Risk Register. which the leadership team use to record and monitor risks. and to develop action plans for the management of these risks were necessary. Trustees are alerted to any risks which are reportable and mitigating actions planned or implemented. The Trustees review the register each year, as part of their oversight of the charity's governance. to ensure appropriate attention is being devoted to the principal risks.
The principal risks identified in the register are: Sustainability of funding pipeline and Employee recruitment and retention
Key performance Indicators
Blueprint for All adheres to key performance and outcome indicators set out by funders and contained within signed funding agreement.
Risk management
The Trustees consider risks to which the Charity Trust is exposed at Quarterly Board Meetings.
Statement of the Trustees responsibiHties
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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP IFRS 102)
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS l 02) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-

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.

Independent Auditor's Report
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Blueprint for All ('the Charity')
OPINION
We hove audited the financial statements of Blueprint for All (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries {the 'group') for the year ended 31 Morch 2023 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities. the Consolidated balance sheet. the Charity balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows. the Charity 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 Financlal 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Pg.20
Blueprint for All Registered number: 05047204 Charity number 1102267 (A company limited by guarantee)
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable low. 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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom. including the Flnancial 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 hove not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent 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 Group's and its business model. including the effects arising from macro economic uncertainties such as COVID 19 and analysed how those risks might affect the Group'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.
Pg. 21
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. It 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 Group and f he industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the Charity and ifs subsidiary which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, includlng fraud. These included, but were not limited to. compliance with Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and FRS 102.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk. recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstot ement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.
Pg. 22
Blueprint for All Registered number: 05047204 Charily number: 1102267 (A company limited by guarantee)
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:
-
agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
enquiries of management:
-
review of minutes of board meetings throughout the period; and
-
obtaining an understanding of the control environment in monitoring compliance with laws and regulations.
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:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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:
Blueprint for All 3
Pg. 23
Blueprint for All Registered number: 05047204 Charily number: 1102267 (A company limited by guarantee)
-
the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audft have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees· remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
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 ore responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, os applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent 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 on 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 ln the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
Pg.24
Blueprint for All Registered number: 05047204 Charity number: 1102267 (A company limited by guarantee)
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 in the relevant paragraph above.
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/ouditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Blueprint for All and its subsidiary undertaking, Building Inclusive Futures Consulting Limited.
2.3 Going concern
At the time of approval of the financial statements, the Trustees hove a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue f o adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
2.4 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, con be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Consolidated 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.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of f he 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.
Pg. 35
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.
2.5 Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of consultancy services provided during the year, inclusive of Value Added Tax but exclusive of trade discounts.
2.6 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.
2.7 Research and development
Development costs are capitalised within intangible assets where they can be identified with a specific product or project anticipated to produce future benefits and are amortised on the straight line basis over the anticipated life of the benefits arising from the completed product or project.
Deferred research and development costs are reviewed annually, and where future benefits are deemed to have ceased or to be in doubt, the balance of any related research and development is written off to the Consolidated statement of financial activities.
