Achievements and Performance

	*SORP reference*
*Summary of the main* *achievements of the charity,* *identifying the difference the* *charity’s work has made to the* *circumstances of its beneficiaries* *and any wider benefits to* *society as a whole.*	*Para 1.20*	Our research suggests that more than 90% of our students feel that they achieve their objectives, whether this be to learn to read, to learn basic maths, to improve their skills so as to enable them to benefit from college or school lessons in order to pass school, university or professional examinations or to improve their skills to get employment or secure advancement. We work closely with people referred to us by the DWP or various other organisations to help them enter or re-enter the world of work. Our students flourish in a supportive, non- judgmental environment, completely focused on the individual (thereby ensuring total regard for equal opportunities); in this way students gain self-respect and become better able to engage with society. Not a few come back to us to volunteer. We contribute to both social and economic inclusion.

Additional information

	*Achievements against objectives* *set*	*Para 1.41*	Our target is a 100% success rate. We’ve not got above 98% yet.

Financial Review

Financial Review
*Review of the charity’s financial* *position at the end of theperiod*	*Para 1.21*	Net cash assets are £22,828
*Statement explaining the policy* *for holding reserves stating why* *they are held*	*Para 1.22*	Our income from donations is inherently “lumpy” so, if possible, we always aim to assure continuity by having enough cash to cover outlays for the next year. In most years, sadly, this has not beenpossible.
*Amount of reserves held*	*Para 1.22*	Net cash assets in our thinking are all reserves.
Additional information (optional) *You may choose to includefurther statements where*		*relevant about:*
*The charity’s principal sources* *of funds (including any* *fundraising)*	*Para 1.47*	Turn Around has received considerable sums over the years from The Garfield Weston Foundation, The London Community Foundation, The Trusthouse Charitable Foundation, Benevity, Waitrose Community Action and local branches of Rotary, amongst others. We have held successful fundraising events in previous years and had planned more thisyearpre-Covid.

*A description of the principal* *risks facing the charity*	*Para 1.46*	The principal risks are that we cannot attract enough donations or volunteers to do our job. While state education fails so many millions of Britons, students will not be lacking.
