MAN&BOY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 3. Financial Review 3.1 Sources of Income and Support The charity's income flows from grants, individual and corporate supporter donations and contributions made by referral agencies. Seven restricted grants were gratefully received during the year. The grants were: £24,192 from Greater London Authority- Young Londoners Fund Round 2 (Year 2 of 3) £9,360 from BBC Children in Need (Year 3 of 3) £2,630 from BBC Children in Need Coronavirus Booster Grant £3,500 from The Community Foundation for Surrey Coronavirus Response Fund £10,000 from London Community Foundation (Mohn Westlake Youth Achievement Fund) (Year l of 2) £4,425 (initial payment in December 2019) from City Bridge Trust, the funding arm of the City of London Corporation's charity, Bridge House Estates (Year l of 5) £1,500 from Sutton Community Fund, MAN&BOY gratefully acknowledges the on-going financial support it receives from The Mark Stolkin Foundation, Waitrose Partnership and individual personal and corporate donations. A growing number of individuals have taken out regular standing orders or given generous one-off gifts to sustain our work- while some grateful clients have made gifts to MAN&BOY. Our thanks go to them all and we also wish to thank our patron, Adam Byatt; Big Yellow Storage Kingston; Premm Design; White Spider Climbing for their ongoing support. In addition to the local and national funders and corporate supporters already mentioned we would also like to acknowledge the recent or ongoing support of the following foundations and trusts: London Stock Exchange Group Foundation. Royal Borough of Kingston. Hampton Fund. The Wimbledon Foundation. A fundraising highlight in 2020 was an online quiz hosted by one of our trustees and including teams from across our network of supporters, volunteers and beneficiaries. Overall, though, it was a challenging year for fundraising through sponsorships and events in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. 3.2 Reserves Policy The charity's reserves are held in support of the organisation's ongoing artivities, recognising that there may arise unexpected needs for funds, unforeseen operational costs, reductions in income below our expectations and specific planned commitments that the charity expects to make. Of these, the most significant factors for MAN&BOY are those relating to uncertainty around our income and planned commitments. Regarding expected income, while many of our donors and grants may reasonably be expected to provide ongoing funding into 2021 and beyond, the nature of this income is that it is potentially variable in both timing and amount, and we rely strongly on attracting and retaining grant and direct donors. We are therefore allowing for approximately 200A of annual projerted income for reserves in this regard, a total of £30,000.
MAN&BOY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 Regarding planned commitments, this in particular currently relates to the planned recruitment of a new fundraising role in 2021 and a full-time director in 2021/22. It will take time for these new roles to positively impact the activities, outputs and fundraising capacity of the organisation. We are estimating that this timing difference may potentially amount to a net cost attribution to the charity of about £20,000 during 2021 and 2022. The trustees therefore agree that a suitable overall target figure for our reseNes at December 2020 is £50,000. The trustees will review this policy and our target reserves level again during 2021. 3.3 Basis of Accounts The accounts for the year have been produced on an accruals basis. 4. Funds Held as Custodian No funds are held by the trust in a custodian capacity. 5. Public Benefit Statement MAN&BOY seeks to raise self-esteem in boys and support and encourage men as role models so that boys are empowered to reach their full potential in school, work, and family, and to contribute positively in their local communities. 5.1 Objects of the Charity To help young people to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and in particular by providing opportunities for them to develop a relationship with a relative or other significant adult. 5.2 Guiding Principles Many boys grow up in the UK with a lack of positive engagement with a father or positive male role model. This has an impact of them, their homes, schools and the wider community. MAN&BOY values family and the role of the father and seeks to raise self esteem in boys, support and encourage men as role models, and empower boys to reach their full potential in school, work, family and to contribute positively to their communities. The services of MAN&BOY are open to all boys and adults irrespective of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. To this end we look to actively recruit beneficiaries, volunteers and trustees from those groups currently underrepresented within Man&Boy. In that we way we can broaden perspectives, to better understand the communities we serve. We recognise and thank the women who hold unique and invaluable roles in our organisation, our families, and the wider community. As men whose lives are positively impacted by many women we recognise their vital impact and partnership in our work. We therefore wish to encourage all of our community at MAN&BOY to continue to work together to envision and action a society where healthy attitudes between men and women are engendered. 5.3 Activities i. MAN&BOY will provide a supportive, safe and stimulating environment where young people can strengthen their relationship with an adult role model.
MAN&BOY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 ii. MAN&BOY will provide a variety of activities designed to jointly engage a young person and adult role model in understanding each other better, building trust, confidence, and self-esteem in an atmosphere of praise and encouragement. iii. MAN&BOY will seek to support and encourage adults as role models, and we will also facilitate artivities to encourage the adults and young people to develop a network of support. The strengths of MAN&BOY are threefold: it is a response to a felt need within British society to support family relationships, the experience and networking skills of the Founder, Acting Director, Facilitators and Volunteers, and - the quality of the programme and its growing reputation among professionals working with families. 5.4 Review of Year In 2020, MAN&BOY celebrated the tenth anniversary since we ran our first events in 2010. We continue to provide fun and engaging activities for boys and an adult male role-model to build strong, positive and nourishing relationships. We continue to fulfil this work through camps, evening courses and events which offer challenging and enjoyable experiences for men (fathers or father figures) to work and play alongside their son (step-son, grandson, younger brother, nephew etc.) in environments which encourage collaborative working and offer opportunities to learn more about themselves and each other. In 2020, we adapted our work to meet the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued to provide support to eligible men and boys through video conferencing, telephone calls and face-to-face meetings where this was safe, and restrictions allowed. This encouraged men in their role as mentors and raised self-esteem in both men and boys. Where restrictions were eased, we were able to briefly resume our in-person camp and course programme. During adventure weekends and evenings (and as part of our adapted online program), men and boys can talk, and more importantly listen to each other, and through this process understanding and appreciation of each other grows, and family bonds are strengthened. MAN&BOY helps create encouraging environments for positive memories to be created which men and boys can keep learning from, talking about and building on into the future. MAN&BOY receives applications through a network of referrers and agencies and in 2020 we received 62 referrals from specialist teaching staff with schools, children's services, social care professionals and other charities and third- sector organisations that work with children. Although a smaller number of families were able to access our in-person activities because of the pandemit, we were still able to provide one Climb and Connect Course and commence a second, and host two Connect (Adventure) Camps. These catered for 26 families, 26 boys and 26 male role model beneficiaries. In addition to this, because of the flexibility of our funders we were able to stay open throughout the pandemic by offering MAN&BOY Connect-ln Online. This programme supported 43 family beneficiaries from London Boroughs and the county of Surrey, either from previous/existing cohorts or as new referrals for 2020 who were contacted by our team to offer online support activities during the times when restrictions were in place. MAN&BOY recognise the importance of safety, especially when working with children. All trustees, staff and volunteers complete a training programme including child safeguarding training, all trustees, staff and volunteers are subject to the Disclosure and Barring Service where this is relevant, policies and procedures are reviewed and updated
MAN&BOY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 regularly and risk assessments carried out. This year we have particularly concentrated on online safety protocols when hosting online events. 5.5 Additional Covid~19 response While Man&Boy adapted operationally to ensure that support was offered to beneficiaries during the Covid-19 pandemic a great deal of work took place behind the scenes to ensure that organisationally we had fully considered the contingencies that needed to be in place to mitigate risk; ensuring that the charity remained a going concern and continue to fulfil its charitable activities. In March 2020 the Director addressed the possible financial, staffing, operational and organisational issues in a paper to the trustees which allowed a number of decisions to be taken by the board. As a result of these discussions the trustees met remotely, monthly, from April to July, September and October 2020 to discuss items intrinsic to managing risk: to review spend against budget and vary budgets where it was required. to discuss safe provision of remote and in-person services; to ensure staff welfare and the ongoing position of employing staff in relation to furlough. Staff were not furloughed as all could be engaged in the ongoing charitable artivities, however two members of staff volunteered to reduce their hours short~term. Any implications of the pandemic on personal benefits, e.g. the pension scheme were considered. A planned recruitment of a new Engagement Co- ordinator was deferred until October 2020 and subsequently appointed to start in January 2021. The trustee board also considered how all stakeholders including funders, beneficiaries and referrers could be kept informed of the changes that were made operationally and did this at regular intervals. These measures ensured that Man&Boy remain in a good position to re-commence normal activities when it is safe to do so. 5.6 Feedback Feedback from beneficiaries and referrers and funders has been overwhelmingly supportive and the examples below encapsulate the types of narrative feedback we have received this year. Men said: 'The activities have been brilliant and well run by the MAN&BOY Team" It is great to spend time listening to my son and seeing him in a different environment, "It was great getting away with my son and having the chance to chat to other dads, especially as I don't normally have that opportunity, I really enjoyed the group sessions as I don't get to talk much to other adults with similar situations to my own." Boys said: "(Taking part) made me more confident to speak to peopl "I learned that I can do much more than I thought I could if I tr¢, "Learnt to listen better. I tried a few things I had not eaten before, Referrers said: "It works really smoothly for us and we are keen to continue giving this experience for our boys that need it." "[The boy shows] less aggression in the home and parents are able to manage [the boy's] behaviour and needs more effectively. tThe] family have reported to feeling happier in general and have an additional support network now. The
MAN&BOY ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 family are spending more quality time together as they now understand the importance of giving time and attention to each other." "all the families I have referred who attend have found the support of Man and Boy to be really significant and having a positive impact on the family as a whole so thank you." 5.7 Programme Development The inspirational founder, Trevor Quy, and his talented team have developed a model of engagement with men and boys that has grown in reputation. We are currently expanding into additional London boroughs including Croydon and Hammersmith and Fulham in addition to our presence across South West London and we are well known amongst Surrey referrers for our work. In early 2020, we also completed a pilot, inviting families from the county of Dorset, referred through their local children's social care team to join in our early spring camp. We have continued to stay in touch with this referrer, with the aim of developing this link further in 2021. We have also benefited from referrals from a West London Children and Families charity, inviting men and boys to take part in MAN&BOY events. We have also developed our signposting offer, referring some young people and male role models on to other services where these would offer additional support, for example parenting courses for men. Our planned growth to six camps per year in 2020 was postponed due to the circumstances of the pandemic but the charity plans to increase its contact with families during 2021 and 2022 in whichever ways we are safely able to do so. This report was approved by the trustees at a meeting on 21 April 2021 and signed on their behalf. Signed - John Buckeridge Chair of Trustees Signed - Justin Cooper Trustee
