Strategy and Vision This year we launched our new 2030 strategy, developed with our board of trustees, charity partners and key stakeholders from across Berkeley Group. The strategy builds on the recommendations from the Institute of Voluntary Action Research's ten-year evaluation of the Foundation's work, particularly feedback gathered from charity partneTS through four focus groups and an anonymous survey. The result is a long-lerm strategy. which sees us evolve our previous goals, making them more relevant to a changing external environment and bringing more young people into each stage of the granl-making process. Our 2030 vision is that young people and their communities will have the tools and resources they need to thrivo and be a force for change in the world. Our vision is supported by five impact goals, which define the difference we want lo make through our work.. A safe place to call home Ev8ryone has somewhere lo live that IS $8fe, secure and sustain8ble Journey to employment Every young person is prepar8d for work and has the opportunity lo build 8 sustainable career Health and wellbeing Everyong has the support they need to live happier, healthier lives. Youth leadership Young people are empowered to positively impact their own lives and the communitNes in which they live A resilient voluntary se¢tor Our communities includ8 a voluntary sector that is effective, inclusivg and well resourced
The first three of these see us continuing our work lo tackle homelessness, ensure young people can access decent, sustainable employment, and support good physical and mental health. Our new fourth goal of "Youth leadership will fund more work lo develop the next generation of young leaders, and ensure that young people are able lo influence positive change in their own lives and in their communities. Finally, our developing work under"A resilient voluntary sector. will support small to medium charities and CICS lo build their organisalional resilience their ability lo plan for, cope with, and respond lo change whether through improved governance and people power, better financial planning or stronger systems and slralegies. In this way, we hope lo ensure that they will be around lo support young people and their communities for many years lo come. Our five impact goals are supported by five commitments about the way we'll work.. We'll work in partnership with expert charities, investing in their work to help young people thrive Vve'll add value to our partnerships through our expertise, networks and relationship with Berkeley Group We'll learn from our work and share our learning across the public, private and voluntary sectors We'll ensure that diversity, equity and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do We'll enable young people to play an active role in the Foundation's work The new strategy also includes an update to our funding streams. This is to reflect the changing environment of grant-making., making OUT funding process more transparent, and allowing us to continue to grow our funding. Activities and achievements ActiViTties The Foundation supports people in London, Birmingham and the South of England through five deeply inlerconnecled impact goals.. 'A safe place lo call home,, 'Journey lo employment,, 'Heallh and wellbeing,. 'Youlh leadership, and 'A resilient voluntary sector,. The Foundation primarily operates through three levels of charitable partnership.. Strategic Partnerships.. We have a small number of long-lerm Strategic Partnerships with org8nisalions that share our goals and values. We aim lo create transformational change through these relationships. including by drawing on the full range of support from our colleagues across Berkeley. We supported six Strategic Partnerships during the year. Community Partnerships.. Each Berkeley Group operating business selects a local charity lo partner with. These are usually small-to-medium sized organisalions working in the local areas, and provide a focus of staff fundraising and volunteering. Resilience Fund.. Our newest funding programme offers grants and support lo small-to-medium sized charities lo invest in their organisalional development, building resilien for the future. Over the last 12 months, our partnerships have reached 12,320 people across London, the South of England and Birmingham. We have donated £3.3 million lo the voluntary sector through Foundation grants 1£2.5 million) and staff fundraising I£0.8 Million), and seen 550/0 of Berkeley staff get involved through fundraising, volunteering and Give As You Earn. We introduced a match funding scheme during the year lo match staff fundraising, volunteering and Give As You Earn for our charity partners. We remain commilled to building strong. enduring and Irust-based relationships, and believe that investing for the long term is the best way lo maximise the impact of our funding.11 enables us lo build truly impacttul partnerships which can harness skills, expertise, brand and reach, as well as funding.
strategic P8rtn8rships Our Strategic Partnerships are central to our charitable giving and stretch across our five impact goals. They provide a core of strong, well-re50urced, long-lerm partnerships. addressing the needs of the most disadvantaged people in society by combining the expertise and high quality delivery of our charity partners with the skills, resources and networks of the Berkeley Foundation. A brief summary of each of the six partnerships we supported during the year is provided below.. Crisis."

A partnership plan is developed which focuses not only on support through fundraising bul also on staff volunteering and capacity building, Community Partnerships are the main focus of staff fundraising across the Berkeley business.

Golng concern The Trustees have prepared the fi'nancial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend lo liquidate the charitable company or lo cease ils operations, and as they have concluded that the charitable company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that ¢ould have cast significant doijbl over its ability to continue as a going concern for al least a year from the date of approval of the financial slalemenls I'lhe going concern peri¢xl'l.

However. as we cannot predi¢l all future events or condib.ons and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsislenl with iudgemenls that were reasonable al the time they were made. the above conclusions a not a guarantee that the charitable company will continue in operation. Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations - ablllty to detect Identifying and responding to risks ofmalerial miss18t8ment due to fraud To identify risks of material mi5Stalemenl due lo fraud I'fraud risks"} we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity lo commit fraud.

For example. the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the fi"rTran¢ial slatemenls. the less likely the inherently limited proceéures required by auditing standards would identify In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-deleclion of fraud. as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresenlalions, or the override of internal controls.
