Introductlon from Anne Rouse- Chalr of Trustees
Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership exists to transform lives through learning. Over the past year. we
have continued to strengthen our role as a trusted learning chaiity across Surrey. working with
individuals who face barriers to education, employment. and wellbeing. This has been a year of
considerable change across the county, with a rapidly shifting local government landscape creating
new pressures, new priorities, and a growing need for adaptable, cornmunity-based services.
Despite these challenges. this year has seen significant growth in our learning provision- from hands-
on vocational training throu8h the Bike Project, to community-based advice and le3rning support,
vouth employment Hubs, and specialist programme5 supporting people with health challenges or at
risk of homelessness. At the heart of all our work is a belief that learning is lifelong, empowering, and
most effective when it is accessible, practical, and rooted in community need.
We have takèn on several new projects thi5 year and expanded our staff complernent from 24 to over
30, strengthening our capacity and enabling us to deliver high-quality services across more
communities. The new projects have also allowed us to draw on the expertise of specialist Partners
with deep experience in supporting learners with mental and physic31 health needs-p8rtnerships
that have already proved invaluable.
We were pleased to develop a new teaching facility for the Bike Project at the Lockwood Centre in
Slyfield, Guildford, and to welcome three new Bike Project apprentices aged 17 to 25. Their
enthuslasm and commitment rèf lect the future potential of this flagshlp programme.
Our core mission has remained unchanged.. to create opportunities for those who have missed out on
learnin& enablin8 them to ￿-ènBaBe with education and bring posltive transformations to their lives.
We now support 2,000 residents of all ages each year. Many continue to feel the impact of rising
energy costs and the ongoing cost-of-living crisi5. In response. we have expanded our provision of
advice, guidance, and Warm Hubs at local learning venues to help alleviate these pressures.
We remain deeply grateful to our volunteers and partner organisations. whose support is vital to our
success. Their contributions-both experted and unexpected-make a significant difference to what
we can achieve.
As we celebrate another year of achievement, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our staff.
volunteers, and trustees for their unwavering dedicat￿On, passion, and hard work_ With their
commitment, we are confident that the Year ahead will bring new opportunities and continued
positive change.

Achievements and Performance
STARTING SOONER
Starting Sooner was desigrTred to improve learning among disadvantaged children outside of school. Our
approach 15 built on four essential principles= it must be engaging. cost-effective. replicable, and
impactful. Informed by post-covid research showing demand among parents for educational support
that was fun and offered an alternative to school provision. The programme wrapped National
Curriculum objectives in engaging activities delThiered wlth strong tutor support. It comprised of three
5trands.' the Saturday Club lin-personl. the Puzzle Club (online holiday programmel and the Supportin8
Cast (parent and orer engagement).
The first Stage w3S the Saturday Club ran for disadvantaged children aged 7-11, offering activities such
as cake decoration, vocabulary puzzles. maths brainleèsers, drama and sport. These all linked to
curriculum objectives but were presented as fun challenges. Every child received a dictionary and at
least six books. Ofsted visited and described the work as Outstanding.
The Puzzle Club delivered daily paired puzzles lone number-based, one word-b3sedl by email during
school holid3ys, with each child supported by a designated tutor. It was designed to reach harder-to-
reach children, such as school refusers, those from traveller backgrounds 3nd learners unable to attend
in-person provision. A Summer Club ran in 2024 and an Easter Club in 2025, re8ching 30 chIld￿n aged
9-11 across Surrey. Rewards and prizes motivated engagement,. a full set of well-trialled puzzles is now
ready for wider distribution.
The next stage is (funding permitting) to consider the supporting cast strand to engage parents and
carers direttly, sharing approaches developed throughout the programme to help adults support their
children's learning at home.

LOWER GREEN AND WALTON COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJE
The Lower Green and Walton Community Support Projett aims to support residents experiencing
social inequality and personal challenges, with a focus on usin8 learning as a pathway to greater
stability, confidence and improved life outcomes.
Delivered by Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership with funding from Walton Charity, this project uses
learning and personal development as a pathway to greater stability and improved life outcomes for
residents in recognised areas of deprivation in Lower Green and Walton.
The project acknowledges that people can only begin the journey ol change once their basic needs
are met. Many residents arrive overwhelmed by f inanci31 crisis, hoLJslng pressures andlor social
isolation and until those irnmediate pressures are eased, meaningful learning cannot take root. The
project therefore works in two stages.. first stabilising clrcumstances, then opening the door tD skills,
conPidence and longer-term progress. Through personalised advice, practical support and partnership
working. the project helps individuals move out of crisis mode and begin to focus on their future. By
working alongside participants to ideitify solutions and realistic next steps, the service enables
residents to rebuild confidence and regain control of their circumstances.
Delivery has taken place through the Lower Green Advice Café, a welcoming, mLJlti-agency Hub
developed with local support services to provide consistent one-to-one practical support covering
benefit application5, debt management and crisis intervention. Group workshops regularly take place
focusing on budgeting and cost of livin8, helping individu315 strengthen their financial capability and
resilience.
HIGHLIGHTS
Client5 typically attended between two and four sessions, with many returning for ongoing
Euidance.
The Advice Worker has become a trusted and recognised presence within the communitv,
helping residents feel safe seeking support and engaging with learning opportunities.

vocational learning for individuals who may have struggled in tradition31 education settings. The Bike
Project oper3tes out of three locations acr055 Surrey.. Guildford College. Brooklands College and the
newly opened Lockwood Community Hub.
At the workshop in GLJildford College, Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership received Surrey County
Council funding to support three apprenticeships, providing structured workplace education and
training for young people. The workshop algo benefits from volunteer support, with volunteers
contributing skills and mentorship th3t enrich tne learning environment, while finding renewed
purpose and community connertion themsèlves.
The Brooklands 61ke Project ha5 been operating for approximately three years and provides a smaller.
supportive learning envlronment aligned with the Guildford Workshop model. Its primary aim is to
support vulnerable yDun8 adults by offering a practlcal, skllls-based alternative to tradltlonal learning
pathways.
The workshop provides a safe and welcoming space where particip3nts can develop prattic31 skills
while building confidence and engagement with learning. Activities include..
Alternative learning provision through hand5-on cycle mechanics training
Work expèrience opportunitiès for school leavers
Practical support for participants completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award
Volunteering opportunities that encourage lifelon8 learning and community participation
The project is partly 5UStained through bicycle servicing and repair to the public, alongside the
refurbishment and resale of donated bicycles. These donated bikes provide valuable learning
resources, allowing participants to gain real-world experience in mechanics, teamwork, customer
interaction and problem-solving.
Over the past year, the workshop has seen increased servicing and repair activity. It has supported
young adults from Edge Consultancy in Woking, the SEND 8roup at 8rooklands College. While, created
opportunities for 2pprenti£es from Guildford to develop their Skills through additional workshop

Lockwood Communit Hub
The Lockwood Community Hub in Sly*ield, Guildford is the project's newest development, secured
during the reporting period. Designed for young people aged 14-18 facing barriers to mainstream
education. Ten- week courses will be delivered here across three terms each year, combining practical
cycle mechanics with literacy, numeracy and work experience. At least 24 students are expected
annually, with local schtso15 already making referrals.
Case Study
G, a 14.year-old who had been out of school for almost a year. He found it difficult to relate to
people his own age and was referred to the Bike Project by Edge Community and Employment in
Wokin8. We eased him into the workshop 8ently, bringing him in at a quiet time. This allowed him
time to find his feet with the tools and then Slowly learn the process of stripping back bikes.
Within weeks he had moved from stripping bikes to building them. As a result, he built a bike for
himself and started riding it to the workshop from home.
Eight weeks on, G works confidently in a busy workshop environment, actively helping newer
leaners who are in a similar position to where he once was. A huge positive is that he has recently
returned to school. His confidence has grown enormously, and he has found something practical
that resonates with him and giving him the motivation to return to school and work towards going
to college to study mechanics.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Position
Th15 has been a strong financial year for the charity. At £734,000, income for the year was 45% higher
than in the previous year. Furthermore. the account5 for 2024-25 show an unrestricted surplus of
£107,000 at the year-end.
Unrestricted income was largely m3de up of 3 combination of Bike Project sales income, rental
income and secured new service contracts for which payments generated were linked to targets
achieved.
Level of Reserves
During the year staffing levels have continued to rige. With these greater liabilities and the
uncertainties re5ating to future funding due to the re-organi53tion of local government, the increase
in reserves to circa £185,000 is to be welcomed and will support SLLP'S future sustainability in
challengin8 times.
ReseThe5 policy
SLLP needs to hold reserves to:
Provide an appropriate level Df working cèpital
o Allow for the development of new IrTritlatives
Provlde aBainst any significani drop-in short-term fundlng.
o If necessary, to Close the charity down in a controlled way, meetinE all currently known
The charity has used its own unrestritted funds to support projects and the nature of some of the
projects involves an element of tradinE which Is more financially risky. The trLJStees may also wish to
temporarily fund projects or continue to fund projects where grant5 have ceased or been
substantially reduced, to avoid a stOP-Start approach. Reserves need to be held to provide for these
possibilities.
Management accounts are monitored and reviewed quarterly at Board meetings to ensure that this
level of resenies is maintained, and that If there should be any impact on reservÈ5 3ppropri3te 3ttion
Is taken to addre￿ this. The Reserves Policy is similarly reviewed on a regular basis.
As noted above the current level of reserves now stands at £185,000. The Board has agreed that this
is sufficient to meet obligations.

surrey lifelong

It is recognised that some projects have required a net invèstment from 5LLP. We are working hard to
ensure that costs are covered and additional Income to address any funding gaps is secured.
Bounce Back Loan
The balance of the £50,￿0 Bounce Back Busines5 Loan sètured from HSBC now stands at £SOOO. This
had been useful in protecting the charity against any unforeseen cashf1ow problems which might have
arisen and had proved beneficièl when there had been delays to income payments.
Risk Management
A register of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed is maintained 2nd reviewed to ensure
that Systems and procedures are in place to manage those risks and that appropriate insurances are
sn place.
Principal risks and mitigating f3Ctors include..
Loss of key staff

partners. 11 Succession planning in place. 21 Staff and stakeholders informed personally in a timely
manner 31 Truste￿ involvement in recruitment. 41 Outgoing CEO willing to act on consultancy b2SIS.
Mismanagement of the closing of contracts
