REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees of the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation present this report and audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.
INTRODUCTION FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
I am delighted to report that we continue to make progress in our mission to improve the lives and life chances of the most vulnerable in our community.
In 2023, we marked the 15th year anniversary of the K+C Foundation and I am thrilled to announce that we have, since our inception, raised an incredible £20 million. This funding has been invested in our work to reduce the significant inequalities that exist in the borough.
From April 2023 to March 2024, we have used our local knowledge and networks to support the most pressing needs in the community, funding 106 projects and supporting over 23,300 of our most disadvantaged residents. We have worked with our supporters – individuals, businesses, trusts and foundations – to connect them to the most vital issues in K+C and have raised an incredible £1.66 million. Much of this funding has been directed to support projects in our three core portfolios - Mental Health, Education and Skills and Employment.
One of the achievements we are most proud of this year, has been the growth of our work to give a voice to our community. Our track record in this area meant that we were trusted by RBKC to manage and distribute its Small Grants Fund. We recruited, trained and facilitated a panel of local residents tasked with selecting small grassroots partners to receive core cost funding over the next 3 years. These grants will deliver improved outcomes for the most vulnerable residents, whilst also helping Kensington + Chelsea to become a fairer borough.
Towards the end of last year, we commissioned an update to our 2021 research - ‘Poverty + Prosperity in K+C: A Deepening Divide’ and although we found evidence of improvements in some areas, there are also some very sobering statistics which continue to drive our work.
More recently, we were honoured and delighted to be chosen by the new RBKC Mayor Cllr Will Lane as his charity during his term of office starting in May 2024 and look forward to maximising this opportunity to spread the word about the Foundation’s work and impact.
I remain incredibly grateful to our loyal and committed supporters, for their engagement, encouragement and generosity. I would like also to commend the excellent work of our small team, who work tirelessly throughout the year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees, chaired by Richard Briance.
During the year, two valued trustees stepped down from the board after completing the maximum three 3- year terms.
Trustees are elected by the Board according to skills required to lead the charity effectively. We have carried out an audit to ensure a broad range of skills, and we are committed to diversity across our members. New trustees are elected for a period of three years, after which they may be re-elected, normally for a further period of three years. In exceptional circumstances a third term of three years can be agreed by the Board.
The trustees define the charity's strategic direction and policies and ensure that the activities of the charity are in accordance with its Trust Deed and objectives.

The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
An information pack is provided to new trustees and training is provided. New trustees meet existing trustees and the staff team and are given an introduction to our work and campaigns.
Management
The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation has a small staff team led by our Director, Victoria Steward Todd. Victoria is supported by five colleagues and occasional volunteers.
We are grateful to all who have volunteered their time to support us in the past year. Our thanks go also to The Westway Trust, which continues to provide pro-bono payroll services.
Working with others in the sector
We are members of London Funders and the team takes part in their masterclasses and discussions to ensure that we are informed and contributing to best practice in the sector. We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
About the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
We are an independent local charity set up in 2008 to tackle the key inequalities in the borough. Despite being a highly affluent borough, more than 1 in 5 (23%) Kensington and Chelsea neighbourhoods are among the poorest in England and Wales.
Our vision is of a borough where everyone has the opportunity to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives. To achieve our vision we use our extensive local knowledge and networks to support our charity partners and connect donors to the most vital issues in the community.
In 2021 our research, ‘Poverty and Prosperity in ~~a~~ Kensington + Chelsea’, identified the key inequalities in the borough as being across education, health and employment. In response to this, we established three funds which support projects addressing these needs – Improving Mental Health, Reducing Education Inequalities and Improving Skills + Employment. These funds reflect our strategic focus for the next 3 to 5 years.
This year, we published an update to the original report - Poverty and Prosperity in Kensington + Chelsea: A Deepening Divide, which highlighted evidence of growing inequalities in our community.
Poverty:
• 3 of the borough’s wards have a higher rate of child poverty than London or national averages and the difference in child poverty rates between the lowest and highest wards is a staggering 27.9%.
• The number of children eligible for free school meals is 33%. This is considerably higher than both the national and London averages and represents a sharp increase of 50% over the past 5 years.

The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
Education:
-
Fixed term school exclusions (also known as suspensions) remain high, with K+C the 7th highest out
-
of 33 London boroughs.
• Children on Free School Meals, with Special Educational Needs and from Black African/Caribbean backgrounds were more likely to be excluded than their peers.
Life expectancy:
• Life expectancy differs significantly between residents living in different areas of the borough. For example, there is a 19 year life expectancy difference between women living in Notting Dale and Holland wards, which are just a third of a mile apart. This difference has increased by 5 years since 2021.
Rent Costs
• Our previous report found an astonishingly high proportion of residents’ income was spent on rent, at 69.5% for residents renting a one bedroom flat. Our new data shows that this has now increased even further by 6.5% to 76%.
Mental Health
-
1 in 4 residents report high levels of anxiety.
-
1 in 6 young people have a mental health issue but waiting times for mental health services are among the worst in London.
-
1 in 12 adults have a GP diagnosis of depression.
-
There has been a 28% increase in mental health referrals between 2022 and 2023.
Last year 93p in every £1 was spent on our charitable activity and the projects we funded reached over 23,300 residents with support and services providing a lifeline to those in crisis. Beyond funding, we research and improve awareness of key social issues affecting our community and bring charities together to network and connect.
OUR ACTIVITIES IN THE YEAR
Grant Making
In the financial year to 31 March 2024, through the generosity of our supporters and donors, we have made grants totalling £1,529,218 to 97 local charities and community groups, supporting 106 projects.
Our Priority Areas
1. Ensuring children and young people in our community have the best chance to fulfil their potential
There are significant inequalities in both opportunities and outcomes in education for children in our community. While 45% of children in the borough attend private schools, 1 in 4 children are living in poverty and their educational attainment is negatively impacted by a combinations of factors including overcrowding, temporary accommodation, lack of resources and mental health pressures.
‘A Deepening Divide’ – the 2024 update to our 2021 research report - demonstrated that while there are considerable challenges for some young people in our community, there has been significant improvement on the permanent exclusions rate, since our original report highlighted the issue.
6
The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
K+C has dropped from having the highest rate in London, to 17th on the list of London boroughs, but fixed term exclusions remain relatively high - we are the 7th highest out of 33 London boroughs. There is clear evidence that fixed term exclusions are extremely damaging for young people who receive them and we remain committed to tackling the causes and impacts of exclusions.
Reducing Education Inequalities portfolio
The K+C Foundation’s Reducing Education Inequalities portfolio funds 9 impactful projects reaching 6,128 children and young people with tailored and targeted support. This has been the second year of our three year commitment to reduce education inequalities in our community. We have been monitoring the progress and impact of our projects across the first 24 months and are delighted to share this example of how they are making a real and tangible difference to young people in our community.
The Reducing Education Inequalities portfolio is part of a wider Children and Young People Programme which, during 2023/24, issued £381,746 in grants to the following organisations:
| Baraka Community Association |
£37,937 | Young K+C | £20,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children's Book Project | £12,982 | Kids On The Green | £20,000 |
| ClementJames Centre | £20,000 | Rugby Portobello Trust | £16,914 |
| Full of Life | £16,013 | St Clement & St James CDP |
£20,000 |
| Future Men | £27,000 | St Giles’ Trust | £61,600 |
| Hornimans Adventure Playground |
£13,500 | AllChild (formerly West London Zone) |
£96,500 |
| Nucleo Project | £15,300 | West London Action for Children |
£24,000 |
2. Combatting isolation, loneliness and mental health challenges
In Summer 2023, 1 in 4 residents reported feeling high levels of anxiety, with 1 in 12 having a GP diagnosis of depression. Residents suffering with depression are more likely to live in the most deprived wards of the borough. More than 1 in 6 young people in K+C have a mental health issue, with the most common reasons for GP visits being depression and developmental speech needs.
Improving Mental Health portfolio
The K+C Foundation’s Improving Mental Health portfolio funds 8 impactful projects reaching over 4,300 people. All of the projects provide individualised, tailored support to clients, building trust and a safe space in which they can make connections and access services.
This has been the second year of our commitment to support projects tackling a wide range of mental health needs. People we have helped through the projects include those suffering from addiction, isolation and anxiety. One partnership helps patients admitted to hospital with mental ill-health, and another reaches out to refugees and asylum seekers. K+C scores in the lowest 20% of local authorities for mental health and with a high number (47%) of one-person households, isolation and loneliness is a significant issue for many

residents. Levels of anxiety are well above national and London levels, peaking just after the Grenfell Tower fire and exacerbated further by the Covid-19 pandemic.
£239,333 was issued in grants from the isolation, loneliness and mental health programme to the following organisations:
| organisations: | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| Migrants Organise | £18,000 | St. Cuthbert's Centre | £30,000 |
| Nova New Opportunities |
£10,000 | Woman’s Trust | £20,000 |
3. Supporting ambitions - Skills + Employment programme
Residents in K+C face a number of employment related challenges. Not only does the borough have a relatively high unemployment rate, but many residents find that work is not necessarily a guaranteed route out of poverty and need to claim Universal Credit.
The number of residents claiming in-work benefits has increased from 2,139 people in 2020, to 3,125 in 2023, a significant rise of 46%.
Skills + Employment portfolio
Our Skills + Employment portfolio aims to support residents into meaningful and sustainable employment, through impactful projects reaching over 300 people with tailored and targeted support. This was the second year of our commitment to providing opportunities for people to develop skills and find meaningful and rewarding employment.
The projects help a range of people, including young people at risk and with a history of offending; neurodiverse adults; women looking to return to employment and vulnerable or marginalised residents.
The organisations delivering projects in the Skills + Employment portfolio have built strong partnerships with employers and specialist agencies which are invaluable. We have also been able to involve our Corporate supporters in volunteering activities such as interview skills workshops.
£291,704 was issued in grants from the Skills + Employment programme to the following organisations:
| ClementJames Centre | £25,000 | Resurgo Trust | £90,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mo1 Youths | £29,607 | Smart Works | £30,000 |
| Nova New Opportunities |
£21,914 | St Giles Trust | £40,527 |
| Pursuing Independent Paths |
£36,626 | Women into Construction |
£18,030 |

4. VSSF – Small Grants Fund
During 2023, we worked in partnership with RBKC to manage the VSSF (Voluntary Sector Support Fund) Small Grants Fund. The Fund aims to help Kensington and Chelsea to become a fairer borough, to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable residents and to nurture the talents of our residents and help them to reach their full potential.
VSSF offers voluntary and community sector organisations essential core cost funding to support their continued service delivery. It was open to small charities with an annual income of less than £100,000, or CICs, for grants of up to £30,000 per year for a three year period.
We delivered an 11 week programme which involved recruiting a panel of 10 residents, training them in grantmaking, supporting them to design the criteria for the fund and make the final decisions on which applications should receive funding. . This project cemented our expertise as a local participatory grant-maker and helped shift the power of grant-making decisions to local residents.
After a thorough and transparent assessment process, the panel selected 9 local groups to receive funding and The K+C Foundation will monitor the progress and impact of these organisations over the next 3 years.

6. Supporting Our Community
Winter Warmth and Cash First
Originally started in 2022 as a Winter Crisis Campaign, we have continued to support low income households across the borough who are struggling to make ends meet and having to choose between heating and eating. Help includes financial support with fuel bills, cash to assist with buying urgent essential items like food, and wrapround advice from professional agencies on issues such as debt management and income maximisation.
This support has been delivered in partnership with key local advice agencies including Citizens Advice K+C, Age UK K+C, Nucleus and Nova New Opportunities and with generous funding from RBKC, local businesses, trusts and residents.
During the year, thanks to these donations, more than 4,200 residents in the borough received emergency financial support and invaluable advice.
RAISING FUNDS, RESOURCES AND AWARENESS
Local businesses, individuals and schools responded positively in 2023/24 to our work and this continuing commitment is of great importance to our long-term stability. We are extremely grateful to those who have continued to support us, including John Armitage Charitable Trust, Cadogan, The Calleva Foundation, CHK Foundation, DMGT, LMAX Group, The Lockwood Charitable Foundation, Elizabeth and Martin Morgan, Julia and Hans Rausing, RBKC Council, Rockspring Charitable Trust and South Kensington Estates.
We are also grateful to our Friends, Patrons and Champions for their support and for acting as our ambassadors in telling others about what we do.
ENDOWMENTS
We currently have three endowment funds, managed by the London Community Foundation, which are Catalyst Housing , The Emily Hughes-Hallett Memorial Fund and Cadogan. The investment income and growth from these endowments is used to support local charities.
OUR EXPANDING ROLE
Our impact in Kensington + Chelsea cannot be measured through our fundraising activities alone. In addition to the key role we play in bringing in resources for charities so that they can tackle local issues, we also bring together organisations who are tackling common themes. Quarterly forums are held for holders of grants made through our priority programmes. These are well attended and valued by our partners.
OUR OVERHEADS
We strive to keep our administrative costs as low as we can, recognising that our role has grown and that we are not simply a conduit for giving money but we are a catalyst for improving the borough through identifying special projects and bringing together the resources to tackle key local issues. With this in mind, we are particularly grateful to those who recognise the vital role we play in the borough by supporting our core costs. We particularly thank Cadogan, The City Bridge Trust and Julia and Hans Rausing.
11
The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
EVENTS
Our events programme is important in raising awareness of local needs and bringing together our partners and friends across the borough. In June, we were delighted to be chosen as beneficiaries of the Chelsea Art Society’s Summer Exhibition, raising over £18,000 for our work through an auction and art sales. In September we celebrated our 15[th] anniversary with an event to thank our supporters at Japan House in Kensington High Street. In October, 45 supporters joined us on Walk Kensington + Chelsea - a walk from North Kensington to Chelsea Theatre.
We also ran a face painting stall at a Christmas lights switch on in Kings Road Chelsea, organised by Cadogan.
OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED IN 2023/24 IN MEETING PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation meets its charitable objectives to provide public benefit by spotlighting local disadvantage and by raising funds and in-kind support from local individuals, schools and businesses, trusts and foundations to invest in selected local voluntary sector organisations which achieve significant impact in addressing local needs.
The trustees of the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and take it into account when implementing the organisation’s charitable objectives.
RESERVES POLICY
Recognising the strategic risk of not securing sufficient funding to cover our core costs, trustees regularly monitor the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation’s financial position, seeking to ensure that sufficient reserves are on hand to cover our projected running costs for at least six months. We believe that this reserve is prudent and allows the charity to address its principal objectives of raising and distributing funds with confidence.
Beyond this contingency reserve, we favour the retention of additional uncommitted reserves where possible up to a maximum of three further months of running costs, both to provide security against fluctuations in income to cover core costs, and to offer the possibility of investment from time to time in the development of new projects. Trustees review this Reserves Policy once a year.
At 31 March 2024, of the £562,231 carried forward, £133,251 is unrestricted income held as a general reserve in terms of this policy, while £428,980 is restricted for charitable giving.
RISK MANAGEMENT
During the year, the trustees have reviewed the risks which the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is exposed to and the Risk Register is reviewed annually. The trustees are satisfied that all major risks have been identified and that appropriate internal controls are in place to mitigate against them.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE K+C FOUNDATION For the year ended 31st March 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, 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:
•give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
•have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
•have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 FRCʼs 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
•the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
•the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE K+C FOUNDATION For the year ended 31st March 2024(continued)
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
•sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
-
•the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
•we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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 they 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 Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our 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.

The Kensington & Chelsea Foundation Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies 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 - (Charities SORP FRS 102).
The charity 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 or note.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
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 bank.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of generating funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charitable activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities.
Operating leases
Rental payables under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease duration.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due 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 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.
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.
Pensions
The charity contributes into the pension of its employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. The pension costs charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the charity to the fund. The charity has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions.
