TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The trustees present the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022.
The Board of Trustees is satisfied with the performance of the charity during the year, considers that the charity is able to continue its activities during the coming year and that the charity’s assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations.
Objectives and activities
a. Objects
The objects of Charityworks are for the public benefit, to advance the education in such charitable ways as the Trustees think fit, in particular, but not exclusively, the provision of training and development programmes for the benefit of the voluntary not-for-profit sector.
Vision
A not-for-profit sector recognised for leadership talent, a distinctive collaborative culture and social impact.
Mission
-
To create a network of leading not-for-profit organisations committed to building capacity through
-
collaboration.
-
To promote host organisations as employers of choice
-
To attract, grow and retain future managers and leaders
-
To increase the reach, quality and impact of our services and improve the lives of the people then charity
-
serves
Values
-
Growing leadership talent in the non-profit sector
-
A non-profit sector that thrives on innovation and creativity
-
A healthy working environment where people have fun
-
A not-for-profit sector driven by people with values and a commitment to the cause
b. Activities - Charityworks programmes
Over the last year, Charityworks has run three programmes focused on achieving its objects and delivering public benefit, namely –
Graduate trainee programme which has the aim of recruiting, developing and retaining the next generation of social leaders. This programme has run for more than a decade.
The 2027 programme which is a paid training programme that prepares people from working class backgrounds for professional, decision-making roles in the grant-giving sector. This was launched by a number of bodies, including Charityworks, in 2017 working together, originally with a 10-year timeline, since reduced to an eightyear programme.
The Kickstart programme helping not-for-profit organisations and charities access Government-backed Kickstart job placements for young people on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term youth unemployment. Charityworks has delivered a one-year Kickstart programme which concluded on 31 March 2022.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Company
The established Charityworks programmes - the trainee scheme and 2027 - have both continued to re-form and reshape following the impacts of the global pandemic.
With the onset of the pandemic, the Board agreed with its delivery partner, Koreo, that it was necessary to reduce the target of filling 150 places on the graduate trainee programme to 75. This was achieved in 2020–21 and in 2021–22, 83 places were filled. Having moved all activities to virtual delivery during the pandemic, the recruitment and selection process has continued in that way. However, over the last year it has been possible to return to some training and development sessions to be in person or in hybrid format. This has been well received both by trainees and by employing organisations. Feedback generally on the development programme and on placements has been very positive with few issues arising.
For the 2027 programme, the highest number of placements so far was achieved with 27 in total including eight in a sub-cohort for Scotland with all interventions scoring highly.
Under the third programme, Kickstart, while 354 placements were agreed with potential employers, a much lower number of 186 was processed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with 171 starting in a placement. The Charityworks elements of this initiative, delivered by Koreo, appears to have been successful. The trustees will consider a full evaluation report on the programme in the latter part of 2022. The Board will look to identify any learning points from the charity’s involvement in this initiative.
Across the year, the Board took further forward the agreed programme of governance improvement flowing from the independent governance review report of 2018–19:
• there is now a slightly larger Board with a wider range of skills to enable more effective control and direction of the charity’s affairs. As and when further trustee retirements arise, the opportunity will be taken again to widen the range of skills available to the Board and increase its size slightly further
• following a market testing process, arrangements were agreed to transfer the bookkeeping and accounting function (which had been delivered over several years by Koreo) to a separate provider. This will be put in place from September 2022
-
Work progressed on data protection and data security through drafting a data sharing agreement
-
between the charity and Koreo and introducing a data protection policy for the charity
-
the charity has taken on responsibility for securing professional indemnity and trustee indemnity cover
-
a programme of mandatory compliance has been compiled and is progressively being addressed.
For the first time in its history, the charity engaged contracted support, initially in the form of an interim charity manager for four months who compiled a plan for the governance changes and moved a number of the tasks forward. Interim charity support has since been contracted on a project-by-project basis. The Board will consider whether and what administrative support may be needed and affordable for the future.
A significant activity for the Board throughout the spring and summer of 2022 was establishing a new strategic direction for the charity. This was both overdue but also necessary given the significant and enduring changes to the world of work, and particularly in the not-for-profit sector caused by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a very competitive employment market. For the charity, the position continues to change: while the established graduate trainee scheme has every prospect of continuing, the 2027 programme will now conclude in 2025 and the Kickstart initiative has concluded.
The Board commissioned focus groups of current and past host organisations for the graduate trainee programme, a series of strategic conversations and formulated an options paper. This was discussed over a period including input from Koreo. The Board was pleased to see that the graduate trainee scheme continues to have a very strong and positive brand and profile.
As a result of this, the Board has agreed a strategic direction for 2022-24 that is focused on the graduate trainee programme. Feedback from the focus groups showed that there is a need to consider pricing, value for money, in-person training and development and to ensure that the offer is kept vibrant and relevant for current and future sector needs.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Achievements and performance (continued)
The short period agreed on the new strategy recognises the fast changing environment and that the charity has to compete the work to establish full control of its own operations through the governance reform programme.
The Board is keenly aware that while it has sufficient reserves to ensure that it and the graduate trainee programme can continue for the medium term, there remains a sustainability and continuity question beyond that - unless income is significantly increased. For that reason, the Board will carefully monitor and evaluate the options it has.
The Board has entered into discussions with Koreo to agree the expectations of the graduate trainee programme over the next two years. This and an underlying operational delivery plan to implement the strategy will be a major focus of the Board’s activities in the remainder of 2022.
Underpinning all this will be a continuing focus on the governance reform programme. Good progress has been made across the year as outlined above, but there is much still to be done.
The Board said farewell to past Chair, Julie Layton in July. Julie had been part of the Charityworks story for a very long time as a trustee and chair and latterly as a non-trustee adviser to the Board. In September, trustees Rob Mills and Ian Wilder stood down having given sterling service to the Board and the charity. The Board welcomed Dan Bishop, Amelia Ireland and Des Pullen who bring a wealth of experience and skills. Rashmi Rungta resigned from the Board effective from 14 November 2022 reducing the Board to five trustees. There was an in-person induction session for the new trustees in August 2022 underpinned up by the provision of various documents and a virtual introductory session with Koreo colleagues.
The Board is grateful to all trustees past and current and to colleagues at Koreo who have worked very hard to restore the programmes having weathered the challenges of the pandemic. The Board has agreed to seek to recruit three new trustees bringing its number to eight in total. This will be started early 2023 having undertaken a skills audit of Board members and future skills needs for the Board.

Financial review
a. Financial performance
With the progressive recovery from the impacts of the pandemic, numbers of graduate and host organisations recruited to the graduate trainee programme increasing, the 2027 programme continuing to perform reasonably well, the financial position is more optimistic than hitherto.
The key financial outturn numbers for the financial year are as follows; Income for the year ending 31 August 2022 totalled £790,380 and expenditure totalled £770,551, creating a surplus of £19,829 in the year. Of the income received, £72,401 was restricted, and £717,979 was unrestricted.
The limited surplus on the year arises from the Board decision to approve the engagement of contracted support in-year to manage and deliver various aspects of the programme to strengthen governance of the charity. This has included writing various policies and moving the bookkeeping and accounting function from Koreo to an independent provider. These costs will continue into the financial year 2022-23 and will be incorporated into the planned budget for the charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
b. Reserves policy
The Board is aware that while it has sufficient reserves to ensure that its programmes and the charity can continue for the medium term, there remains a significant risk as to financial viability and continuity beyond that point unless income is significantly increased. For that reason, the Board will monitor and evaluate the options it has. The Board has agreed a reserves policy, considering its likely income and expenditure in the next financial year, as well as the charity’s strategy and operational plan which will require investment in future years. The Board aims to build reserves to £250,000, to enable this growth. As at 31 August 2022, the charity’s free reserves stood at £180,753. The Board has agreed its operational targets for the years 2022-23 and 2023-24 which include the plan to increase the reserves to the required level.
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
-
charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been
-
followed, subject to any material change.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The financial statements have been prepared on ths historical cost basis.
3.2 Going concern

3. Accounting policies (continued)
3.5 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
3.6 Taxation
The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
3.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
3.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
3.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the SORP.
3.10 Financial instruments
The 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
