Letter from the Chairman

When I come to Into University I can focus, and the community is just amazing. At home there are distractions, so it really helps me to focus here - everything is set up perfectly for me. The centre provides you with a safe and good environment to learn in. Each time I come to Into University there’s always something that I learn. Into University has given me aspirations and a direction to follow.’

Year 9 student, Walworth

In the 2020-21 academic year Into University centres across the UK supported more than 40,000 children, young people and student associates through its FOCUS, Academic Support and Mentoring schemes, through the Uni Connect programme, through its Student Associate Network, and through remote support during the COVID-19 closure period.

We were delighted to reopen our learning centres for the beginning of the 2020-21 academic year, having supported students remotely since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting government restrictions. As a result of the third national lockdown in England, we returned to supporting our young people remotely in January 2021, extending our remote support offer over the spring term. Following this, in April 2021, we were very pleased that in light of new government guidance in both England and Scotland, our centres were able to reopen and offer a blended programme of face-to-face and online support.

In these challenging times, the charity has pressed ahead with its expansion plan, opening six centres in 2021 - our most ambitious year to date.

We were delighted to expand into Scotland for the first time, in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow. The charity opened centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow in Spring 2021, with a further centre in Glasgow launching in Autumn 2021. Once these centres are established, they expect to support more than 3,000 young people in Scotland each year.

The charity also opened a centre in Norwich in April 2021, in partnership with the University of East Anglia. Despite this mid-year opening, we were really pleased that the centre was able to support over 800 students in its opening months.

In Autumn 2021, we have also opened new centres in Bradford, in partnership with Queen’s College, Cambridge, and a centre in Newcastle, in partnership with the University of Newcastle and the University of Northumbria.

Digital poverty is a key obstacle for our students. During COVID-19 lockdowns, many of our students were trying to keep up with remote learning on shared devices or mobile phones. Despite local and national initiatives to provide devices for disadvantaged families, a detailed survey of our students revealed that many of our highest need students still reported major access issues, with many of our students lacking the basic equipment they need to study. Over each lockdown, we focused on supporting students no matter what their digital provision was at home.

During the third lockdown, in February 2021, we sought to address the digital divide through launching an urgent appeal to provide 500 of our high-need students across our network with new Chromebooks. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to get this equipment to the students who needed it most.

Our work depends on the continued generosity of our funders. We are truly grateful to our wider community of funders and partners for their support - from trusts and foundations, companies, individual donors and academic institutional partners, including universities and schools. On behalf of everyone at Into University, we would like to thank you for your continued generous support, which is enabling us to raise the aspirations of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and provide them with the guidance and support they need to achieve their ambitions.

Two of the charity’s strategic university partnerships received recognition from awards during the year.

In October 2020, the charity’s long-term partnership with the University of Nottingham was recognised with a National Education Opportunities Network (NEON) Widening Access Partnership Award. The NEON Awards provide a platform to celebrate the successes and accomplishments of NEON’s members and their learners in widening access to higher education and enabling social mobility. The University of Nottingham has now supported the charity’s centres in Nottingham for a decade – we remain hugely grateful for the university’s critical support.

In June 2021, the charity’s partnership with the University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow received a gold-level CASE Circle of Excellence Award for its targeted fundraising campaign for the establishment of three centres in Scotland. The judges commented: “We really enjoyed the creativity and collective partnership between these three institutions in launching a fundraising campaign to better serve Scotland’s children from disadvantaged communities in navigating educational pathways.”

On behalf of both the board and the Senior Management Team, I would like to thank sincerely Sir Eric Thomas who has retired as a trustee after more than eight years. Thank you Eric for everything that you have done for the charity. I would also like to warmly welcome Professor Nishan Canagarajah as a trustee.

Finally, I want to thank our staff team and volunteers for their wholehearted dedication to our values. The Trustees are indebted to you for your professionalism, teamwork and commitment, and of course your genuine care and compassion for our cause.

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Into Uni (“ Into University”, “the charity”) is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 December 2006 and registered as a charity on 26 March 2007. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The charity operates under the working name of Into University.

Relationship with The ClementJames Centre

The Into University charity grew out of the Into University work that was started at another charity, the St Clement and St James Community Development Project (now known as The ClementJames Centre) in 2002. The Into University work at The ClementJames Centre (known as Into University North Kensington) is affiliated to, and receives grants from, the Into University charity, but remains under the governance of the Trustees of The ClementJames Centre and the management of its Chief Executive. Into University North Kensington received total grants of £190,000 in the year ended 31 August 2021 (year ended 31 August 2020: £190,000). All other centres are managed directly by Into University.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. The Trustees who served during the period and up to the date of this report are set out on page 5. The Report of the Trustees is the Directors’ Report in accordance with section 415 of the Companies Act 2006.

The members of the company are the Trustees; there are no other members. The members of the company have guaranteed the liabilities of the company up to £1.

The Board of Trustees consists of at least one and not more than three persons appointed by The ClementJames Centre, and such other person/s as the members may appoint by ordinary resolution.

When vacancies arise on the Board, or when the needs of the Board are being reviewed, the Nominations Committee identifies the need for new Trustees and recommends candidates to the Board in a process that complies with the governing document. Interviews are carried out by the Nominations Committee. Successful candidates are invited to join the Trustee Board, subject to references, criminal record checks and approval by the full Trustee Board.

The Board aims to be representative of the educational work of the charity and to ensure that it has available a broad range of skills and expertise amongst its members. A regular audit of the skills of the Trustees is carried out in order to ensure that a broad range of skills is represented on the Board.

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Trustee Induction and Training

An information pack about the charity is sent to new Trustees, including their duties and the charity’s expectations of them, and a full induction process is arranged. New Trustees meet existing Trustees, key members of staff and volunteers and are introduced to the charity’s work, values, programmes and safeguarding approach.

Organisational Structure

During the year to 31 August 2021, the Board met five times (via videoconference due to COVID-19 restrictions), including an Away Day. These meetings also involved members of staff as appropriate.

The role of the Board is to provide oversight of the charity’s activities, including planning, approval of annual budgets and review of the charity’s results and achievements. The Board also provides general support to the Chief Executive and her staff. The day-to-day running of the charity is carried out by the staff team, with support from volunteers, under the leadership of the Senior Management Team. The Senior Management Team comprises the Chief Executive and Co-Founder, Dr Rachel Carr; the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder, Dr Hugh Rayment-Pickard; the Director of Finance, Daniel Century; and the Director of Operations, Hannah Purkiss.

Sub-committees of the Trustee Board (listed on pages 6-7) oversee specific areas of the charity and report regularly to the Trustee Board. During the period the Advisory Panel met three times (via videoconference) to consider areas of significant interest in the charity’s development. The Trustees would like to thank the members of the Advisory Panel for the invaluable support and guidance they provide.

Pay Policy for Key Management Personnel

The Trustees consider that the Board of Trustees and the Senior Management Team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of Trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 7 and note 17 to the accounts respectively.

The pay of the Senior Management Team and all staff is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee, and recommendations are made to the Trustees accordingly. Staff pay rises are considered in the context of the following factors: inflation; harmonisation and fairness; promotion with increased responsibility; and recognition and reward of experience. The charity also benchmarks against pay structures in comparable organisations.

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Objectives and Activities

As stated in the governing documents (the Memorandum and Articles), the objects of the charity are:

The charity’s current growth plan includes ambitious plans to reach even more social mobility coldspots and educationally underserved regions of the United Kingdom.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.

The Main Activities of the Charity

The charity runs an integrated education programme addressing the barriers and challenges faced by young people growing up in areas of economic, social, cultural, or linguistic disadvantage. At the heart of the programme is the belief that the needs of young people are best addressed in the context of a long-term pastoral engagement where the charity can build self-esteem and support learning to enable young people to reach their potential to go to university or realise another chosen aspiration.

The charity’s normal delivery model is detailed below. For details of how the charity’s programmes were adapted for COVID-19 restrictions during the year, please see page 15.

The charity provides a centre-based service. The centre is a distinctive place of belonging for students, chosen by them and available to them all year round. Staff create a positive ethos and provide children with intensive hands-on learning in a non-school context. Young people have a fresh start at the end of the school day, engaging with staff who have no preconceived expectations based on their behaviour at school. The centres are places that users choose to attend, not places they have to attend.

The charity aims to be a ‘home-from-home’ rather than a ‘school-from-school’. Staff aim to provide the kind of academic support and personal expectation that is a matter of course in many middle-class families.

The charity starts working with young people from as young as seven and aims to work with them over the long term until university access. Academic research on access to university for children from socially-excluded groups stresses the importance of aspiration to future university study from a young age. Most other widening participation projects addressing underachievement begin at secondary age. In contrast, the charity starts working with children from as early as Year 2.

10

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The charity aims to have a high ratio of staff/volunteers to students. This is crucial both for the quality of the educational support and the maintenance of pastoral relationships. It enables the development of positive, affirming relationships with young people who receive substantial individual attention.

The charity aims to provide a positive, aspirational ethos, believing that children and young people can succeed in life and that their decisions and the attitudes they have help shape their futures for good or bad. Staff work to promote good behaviour, pride in achievements and a positive, safe and stimulating out-of-school environment.

The charity takes a multi-stranded approach, recognising that young people require a range of support in order to raise and attain their aspirations: academic support, new learning opportunities, aspirational activities and confidence building. Students are encouraged to move between different aspects of the programme to provide ongoing, in-depth support. Particular attention is given to the key points when young people may become disaffected with school (for example, primary to secondary school transfer, GCSE to A level).

The charity’s educational programme provides the following three core strands of activities:

1. Academic Support: The charity provides help with homework, coursework and exam revision and brings the national curriculum to life through an exciting in-house curriculum. Trained volunteers provide additional support and help maintain a high adult:student ratio. Academic Support raises levels of achievement, increases confidence and motivation, and helps young people re-engage with learning outside school hours. The programme offers pastoral support and the opportunity for young people to build positive long-term relationships with adults and to address any challenging behaviour they may demonstrate. The charity has further developed a formal primary school curriculum for its Academic Support students who come without homework to complete. It covers subjects not usually taught in primary school - in 2020-21, the core subjects were Engineering, Psychology, and History of Art - and is designed to support literacy and numeracy as well as to introduce primary school children to subjects they might study at university. Independent Learning Projects and the 'Future Readiness Award' have been created for secondary school students to provide students with extended research projects to complete once they have finished their homework.

2. FOCUS programme: The charity runs subject-based aspiration and awareness building workshops for young people aged 7 to 18. The Primary FOCUS programme includes hands-on workshops and inspiring visits to cultural institutions, which many of the charity’s students have never accessed before. Primary FOCUS provision includes a university visit and graduationstyle ceremony, introducing students to university life and making university a realistic and tangible aspiration through experiential learning. The Secondary FOCUS package is an integrated education programme which aims to increase students’ knowledge of Higher Education, career opportunities and other future pathways. The programme strengthens students’ aspirations, provides strategies to make effective educational choices and helps students to develop transferrable skills. In addition to the core FOCUS programme, other strands such as Careers in FOCUS, Business in FOCUS and Leadership in FOCUS provide more detailed career guidance, develop important workplace skills and a platform for selfreflection respectively. Finally, the Student Enrichment programme provides work experience,

11

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

internships, and networking opportunities giving students access to opportunities and professional advice from a range of industries.

3. Mentoring: The charity has developed a mentoring programme comprised of three parts: University Student Mentoring, Corporate Mentoring and the ‘Buddy’ programme. The charity works closely with universities to provide trained student mentors for the University Student Mentoring scheme who act as positive role models of people who have made it to university. Mentors support their mentees to develop reading, writing and maths skills and develop their confidence and inter-personal skills by taking part in social activities. The Corporate Mentoring programme pairs young people in Year 13 with trained volunteer professionals who support the mentee with the university application process and support their transition to university and first year of study. Through the charity’s two-day Buddy Programme, pupils in Year 8 take part in subject-based activities led by trained undergraduate volunteers and are shown around a university campus by the students.

The charity also operates an Associate Network to provide support for its former students and to engage its former staff and volunteers. The Network aims to support Into University students beyond the age of 18 by offering support, advice and guidance through its IU Connect online platform and through face-to-face events. IU Connect supports students with their transition to university, offers guidance about study skills, job applications, and CV writing, and provides students with access to opportunities including e-mentoring, networking and attendance at events designed to support students to develop core skills. Former staff and volunteers are able to support students through IU Connect and are engaged in the charity's work through regular communication and events.

The charity operates a Boarding School Bursary Scheme in partnership with the Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation which seeks to identify Into University students who might benefit from the support, enrichment and teaching provided by state and independent boarding schools. The project aims to support the entry process and to offer ongoing pastoral support to the students and families on the scheme.

Khadija Saye Arts at Into University continues the work of Into University with a focus on encouraging and supporting young people with an interest in the arts. The programme aims to address the lack of diversity in the UK arts sector providing opportunities for young people from disadvantaged communities across the UK to explore the Arts by incorporating Arts-based activities from a range of disciplines into Into University's existing programme. The programme is overseen by a full-time Arts Programme Manager.

Into University has also been an integral part of the Uni Connect Programme (formerly the National Collaborative Outreach Programme) in Leeds and Nottingham. This is a joint initiative across universities, colleges and third-sector organisations to provide a programme of activities and support for students in Year 9 and above at schools and colleges in areas where progression to Higher Education is lower than expected. Into University’s participation in this project concluded in 2020-21, as planned.

12

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The charity works closely with other institutions including primary and secondary schools local to the centres, and cultural institutions. The charity has major partnerships with the University of Nottingham, the University of Bristol, the University of Leeds, the University of Southampton, King’s College London, the University of Liverpool, the University of Manchester, and Birmingham City University, to operate centres in their respective cities. The charity also has major partnerships with the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow to operate centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow; with Anglia Ruskin University to operate a centre in Clactonon-Sea; with the University of Bath to operate centres in Weston-super-Mare and Hammersmith; with the University of East Anglia to operate a centre in Norwich; and with the University of Warwick to operate a centre in Coventry. The charity partners with the University of Oxford and Christ Church, Oxford to operate its Oxford South-East centre, and with the University of Bath, the University of Bristol, and the University of Exeter to operate its Bristol South centre. The charity also has funding partnerships with Christ’s College, Cambridge; Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; London School of Economics; Pembroke College, Cambridge; Trinity College, Cambridge; and Wadham College, Oxford. In addition, the charity works in collaboration with a range of other university partners.

Strategic Report

Achievements and Performance

During the academic year 2020-21 the charity supported 40,043 children, young people, and student associates. This is a remarkable achievement, especially in light of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As outlined below, centre teams did a fantastic job of adapting in the face of changing restrictions to continue providing high-quality support to as many students as possible last academic year.

Of the students supported, 3,400 attended Academic Support, 21,397 took part in the Primary FOCUS programme, 11,362 took part in Secondary FOCUS programmes for years 7 to 11, 4,883 were supported in years 12 to 13, 1,955 participated in the Mentoring and Buddy programmes, 1,454 received Uni Connect provision, and 312 were supported through the Student Associate Network.

An analysis tracking the destinations of students who had left school at the end of the 2019-20 academic year and had taken part in the Into University programme indicated that 71% of Year 13 school leavers had secured a university place.[1] Student evaluations collated in 2019-20 indicated that 72% of those students who had participated in the Academic Support programme reported improved school grades, and 70% of students who had participated in the Primary FOCUS and Secondary FOCUS programmes reported that they were more likely to go to university as a result of their participation.

Detailed student numbers by centre are shown on the following page.

1 These figures are based on a sample of 4,972 students who were either finishing Year 13, or would have completed Year 13 had they stayed in school (a 51% sample of a cohort of 9,660 students). The university progression figure for all Into University Year 13 leavers may be lower. Although staff tried to contact every single student, it was only possible to obtain data for 51% of school leavers. It may be that those for whom we do not have data are less likely to have applied for and have gained a university place. If we conservatively assume that we had no impact on these students, then our overall progression rate would still be 58%, 32 percentage points above the average for Free School Meals (FSM) students nationally, and 15 percentage points above the average for all maintained school students nationally.

I NTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Programme delivery in 2020-21

The charity reopened its centres for the beginning of the 2020-21 academic year, having supported students remotely since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting government restrictions.

Between September and December 2020, the charity supported over 11,000 young people to re-engage and get back on track with their learning. The programmes were adapted during this period to ensure that centres were COVID secure. The precise arrangements varied across different centres according to regional restrictions and logistics for individual sites. As a result of a third national lockdown, in January 2021, centre teams returned to supporting young people remotely and the remote support offer was expanded. In light of updated government guidance, centres resumed face-to-face delivery in the summer term with COVID-safe practices in place and the continuation of some remote learning.

The charity responded flexibly to the changing restrictions required because of the pandemic and centred its provision on the needs of the young people, their families, and our partner schools. The charity’s long-term Learning Recovery strategy focuses on supporting young people in three key outcome areas: well-being; academic attainment; social skills. A key focus during the year was preparing students to flourish in a post-COVID world, placing individual student needs at the heart of the charity’s response. The charity prioritised bringing evidencebased practices such as metacognition, oracy and reading comprehension to the forefront of delivery. Centre teams found that the negative impacts of the pandemic on our young people were varied and highly individual; our place-based model ensured our response was both localised and adaptable. Staff teams assessed and then responded to the wellbeing, social skills and academic needs of each young person in Academic Support. For example, wellbeing packs were provided to students transitioning to Secondary school, all Holiday FOCUS provision incorporated wellbeing activities and new workshops, including a ‘Finding Motivation’ workshop were created.

Academic Support

The approach for Academic Support ensured that all students, regardless of their access to digital devices and the internet, were able to receive support. For in-person delivery in autumn and summer term, regulations limited capacity to 15 students, with a further reduction to 12 students during the second lockdown in November. Students attended fortnightly in-person sessions, supplemented by weekly home-learning activities. Centres triaged students to prioritise those most in need, considering safeguarding vulnerability, access to devices, and examination year groups. Students in high need were prioritised to attend face-to-face sessions weekly. During autumn Academic Support live streaming was piloted to future-proof for further potential lockdowns.

In spring term centres delivered Academic Support remotely. Over 2,700 calls were made to families and detailed digital access surveys were conducted. There was a wide variation in access to suitable technology, creating an additional learning barrier that would widen the gaps experienced by those who already face the most challenges. The charity responded by raising funds to gift 500 devices to families. Staff delivered the spring term’s Primary Academic Support curriculum, Psychology, to students during live group sessions online. For secondary students, staff provided live group Academic Support sessions, offering a mixture of group activities, study skills sessions and independent working. Tuition phone calls continued for students with limited device or internet access and supplementary printed resources were sent to students. When in-person Academic Support resumed in summer term with a limited capacity of 15 students, virtual sessions continued to provide additional support to students.

Mentoring

The Mentoring programme took place online throughout the year, with some face-to-face mentoring meetings happening in the summer term. The charity pivoted to online mentoring in April 2020 and continued this with success. This allowed students to continue receiving crucial one-to-one academic and pastoral support from a mentor. From April 2021 the charity transitioned to a hybrid model for Mentoring meetings and pairs now have the option to meet in person, to continue meeting virtually, or to do a combination of both.

Centres facilitated and nurtured mentoring relationships by providing feedback and guidance to volunteers via virtual de-briefs and google forms. Bespoke, virtual training taught mentors how to set productive SMART targets with their mentee online and staff created an online directory of resources for mentors and mentees, to ensure meetings were high quality and met clear goals. Online group events allowed mentoring pairs to make connections in their cities and clusters, at a time when social interactions at school and university were limited.

FOCUS

The charity’s localised approach enabled centres to respond to the changing needs of their partner schools throughout the year. Centres provided sessions in different formats including: in-person delivery, live virtual sessions for students at home or in the classroom, recorded content with follow-up resources, or a blended approach. In-person workshops were adapted to be ‘COVID safe’ – for example, carousel activities where students would usually move around the room were instead led from the front. With restrictions on off-site trips, centres sought inspiring virtual opportunities to bring Higher Education to life. Partner universities provided immersive virtual campus tours and sessions with university students to answer questions and share insights about student life.

During the spring term lockdown, Primary FOCUS workshops were adapted so that they could be run virtually. All adapted sessions featured learning objectives in line with National Curriculum learning goals. Every student was encouraged to participate through the use of online learning and teaching tools. Primary FOCUS Graduation ceremonies were adapted to bring a sense of occasion to a virtual format. Students presented their future ambitions to their peers, complete with home-made mortar boards.

The charity adapted both the format and content of Secondary FOCUS to meet the needs of students and schools. For example, at a time when schools were focused on supporting students with their academic progress, centres offered additional webinars on university life and learning. Lower secondary students attended a new ‘Is University for Me?’ webinar, during which staff shared their experiences of Higher Education. This supported students to look at their long- term ambitions at a time when the future was uncertain. Some older secondary students reported reduced access to form tutors and specialised career support during school closures. In response, centres provided practical tips for sixth form and college applications during a tailored ‘Spotlight Session’. Sixth form students also accessed supplementary webinars which explored how to connect to prospective universities and how to choose which university was right for them, during a time when campus visits were limited.

Additional Programmes

The charity utilised its extensive network of corporate partners to provide high-quality, virtual enrichment opportunities to students. Pivoting enrichment events online removed geographical barriers and allowed students from across the network to meet professionals from a variety of sectors. A number of student enrichment programmes took place virtually in summer 2021, such as the charity’s Big City Bright Future three-week paid internship programme. 196 students undertook virtual work placements at 24 different firms as part of this programme. The Academy of Enterprise programme, which gives young people hands-on experience of being an entrepreneur, also took place virtually at the end of July.

Financial Review

Total expenditure for the year amounted to £8,095,033 (year to August 2020: £7,196,130). Total income amounted to £8,850,088 (year to August 2020: £7,556,625). At 31 August 2021 the charity had net assets of £5,001,335 (2020: £4,078,302). These comprised a £882,376 designated fund, free reserves of £2,979,616, restricted operating funds of £250,825, and an expendable endowment of £134,849.

Into University is very grateful to all the donors who supported the charity throughout the period, full details of whom are listed in note 3.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the Trustees to hold free reserves equal to approximately four months’ forecast running costs (currently equal to £3.07m). At the end of the year, free reserves stood at £2,979,616.

In addition to its free reserves, the charity holds a designated fund of £882,376, a permanent endowment of £753,669, and an expendable endowment of £134,849.

The designated fund provides the charity with extra financial security for its growth plan. The charity’s current growth plan has ambitious targets to reach more social mobility coldspots and educationally underserved regions of the UK by 2024. In view of the significant annual funding requirements to achieve this plan, the designated fund enables the charity to grow while maintaining a financially strong position. The expectation is for the designated fund to be utilised over the course of this growth plan, although the timing of utilisation will be assessed on a continuing basis by the Trustees as the charity reviews its future growth strategy.

The expendable endowment of £134,849 has arisen from legacies and donations made specifically for that purpose.

During the year, the charity established a permanent endowment called The IntoUni Endowment Fund, in partnership with a third-party foundation, in order to provide long-term financial security for the charity. The income from the permanent endowment will be used to further the charity’s charitable objects, including (without limitation) through supporting the charity’s core costs.

In February 2021, the Trustees agreed to transfer £250,000 from the designated fund to the permanent endowment. This transfer was matched by a grant of £250,000 from the third-party foundation. In August 2021, the Trustees agreed a further transfer of £250,000 from the expendable endowment to the permanent endowment. This transfer will be matched by a further grant of £250,000 after year-end by the third-party foundation. At 31[st] August 2021, the balance of the permanent endowment was £753,669.

The Trustees also decided to transfer an additional £125,000 during the year from free reserves to the designated fund to provide the charity with extra financial security for its growth plan.

I NTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Investment Policy

As at 31 August 2021, £1,548,570 was held in equity and fixed income investments and £2,237,355 was held in long-term deposits. Investments are made in accordance with the broad investment powers accorded to the Trustees in the charity’s Memorandum of Association. At present, the charity’s investments are made through seven common investment funds, one passive tracker fund, and through a long-term deposit account. Common investment funds are collective investment vehicles similar to unit trusts but open only to charitable bodies.

The charity’s principal investment objective is to increase the value of invested assets over the long-term, protecting them against the effects of inflation and producing a return for the charity. A secondary objective is to produce income for the charity which can be applied to its ongoing operating costs.

During the year, net gains on the charity’s investments amounted to £167,978. This increase reflected trends in the wider market, and was a welcome recovery following unrealised losses of £132,033 in the previous financial year.

Fundraising Approach

The charity's fundraising activity is broken down into four main areas: applications to grantmaking trusts; applications to corporates; partnerships with educational institutions; and requests for support from individuals. Approaches to individuals are normally made in person or through fundraising events, in line with the Fundraising Code of Practice set by the Fundraising Regulator.

The charity would like to assure its supporters of the following:

The charity has a training programme for its fundraising staff to reinforce its fundraising ethics.

The charity has a Donations Acceptance Policy which sets the charity’s policy for the acceptance of donations and sets out the procedures for the charity’s screening of donations, including, where necessary, referral to the charity’s Due Diligence Advisory Panel.

In 2020-21 the charity did not work with any third-party partners in delivering fundraising activities with trusts and foundations or individual donors. No complaints about the charity's fundraising activities were received during the year.

Into University also has an obligation to protect vulnerable people and those in vulnerable circumstances. Whenever we suspect that a potential or actual supporter is lacking capacity or is in vulnerable circumstances we will take courteous and respectful steps immediately to discontinue fundraising conversations and other fundraising communications. In these circumstances we will not accept donations.

I NTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Fundraising Performance

Almost all of the charity’s income comes from fundraising and the charity continued to fundraise successfully over the course of the year, raising £8.7m from voluntary income and event income. The majority of these funds came from corporate donors (13%), charitable trusts and foundations (37%), and educational institutions (34%). There was also an important contribution from individual donors and from funds raised at events (16%).

Non-Financial Support

Throughout the year the charity has received professional advice, services and time from various individuals and organisations. In particular, support has been received via Impetus’s programme which provides professional people who volunteer their specific expertise.

The charity has also received significant volunteer support from corporate partners and the charity’s stakeholder university partners. The value of this cannot be quantified reliably and so has not been included in the financial statements. However, the Trustees would like to thank everyone who has volunteered their time, professional knowledge or any other service for their generous contributions, which are hugely beneficial to the operations of the charity.

The charity is also extremely grateful for pro bono contract law support received from Dechert LLP, for property law support received from Allen & Overy, and for pro bono employment law advice received from Covington & Burling LLP (and in particular, Antonio Michaelides) over a number of years.

Plans for Future Periods

The charity has continued to expand as set out in its 2019-24 business plan (see below), launching the following new centres in England and Scotland in Autumn 2021:

The charity is in advanced discussions on future expansion with a number of university partners with a view to opening four new centres in Autumn 2022. However, the charity recognises that COVID-19 restrictions may delay the process.

The charity has a business plan which aims to respond strategically to Britain’s social mobility cold spots, growing to 41 learning centres across England, Scotland and Wales by 2024, using the power of education to lift young people out of poverty, and open up new worlds of possibility. The plan is informed by a strategic mapping of patterns of need for its services, looking both at regional needs and local areas where young people are under-served. In each new area we are seeking university partners who will bring both funding and engagement opportunities for young people. The plan will add additional capacity for over 11,000 students each year.

Principal Risks and Uncertainities

The Trustees regularly review the many risks to which the charity is exposed and the means by which these risks are managed and controlled. These range from political and reputational to legal and financial risks.

INTOUNI REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES – CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Responsibilities of the Trustees

The Trustees (who are also directors of Into University for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Agreed Accounting Practice (United Kingdom standards and applicable law). 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 the results of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

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

Independent auditor’s report to the members and trustees of IntoUniversity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Into University for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

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

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

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.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Trustees. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

24

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report).

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charity Accounts (Scotland) Regulations (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 22, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to employment law, safeguarding regulations and Charity and Company law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP.

25

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second edition, effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Into University 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 note(s).

(b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis

The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The review of its financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives Trustees confidence that the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.

(c) Fund accounting

(d) Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to income, it is probable that income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

30

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of section 466 to section 493 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010.

The charity is not registered for VAT.

(g) Financial Instruments

The charitable company 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.

(h)

Investments

(i) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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.

(j) Debtors

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

31

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due

(l) Employee benefits

(m) Legal status

IntoUni is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. 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.

(n) Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. Estimates and judgements 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. The only area where estimation uncertainty applies is the valuation of gifts in kind.
