Chairman's Report l am pleased to report that 2023 was another extremely successfvl year for Tempus Novo, ak)ove all in terms of fulfilling our core mission of supporting ex-offenders into sustainable employment. 200 ex-offenders found jobs through Tempus Novo last year, a significont increase on the 172 supported into employment in 2022, whilst fully 18 per cent of those secured promotion in their roles. Equally as encouragingly, work continues to prov• itself as the best route OLrt of crime, with Just 3.6% reoffending, a rate once again under S per cent. This is all the more remarkable when considered ogainst the fact that fully 15 per cent of all the ex-offenders on the Tempus Novo programme were Prolific and Priority Offenders (PPOS) during this period. business sense on its own terms. TN graduates have conslstently been shown to be more reliable, more likely to be promoted, and more productive than the regular workforce in the industries into which they are being placed. Accordingly, Tempus Novo is providing a real service. and we continue to seek to make the charlty more robust and sustainoble by Increasing contributions from stakeholders who bénefit from that service. charity into a broader framework Time wlll tell whether this endeavour will succeed. One other area of grecrt importance for the charity is increasing the rigour with which we assess our operation, both internally and externally. To thls end we remoin very grateful for the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) we have established with Sheffield Hallam University, as well as the work now being done olongside George Mason University in the United States with a view to setting up a pilot based on the Tempus Novo m¢xlel across the Atlantia Part of the KTP is to develop a social Impact tool to enable better independent verification of the impact of the work being done by Tempus Novo, which we hope will be of great benefit to both employers and other prospective stakeholders. The most directly impocted stakeholders are of course employers themselves. and It has been a source of tremendous encouragement to see increased buy-in from employers over the post 12 months. Contributions from employers totolled £94,000 in 2023, representing 21% of annual fvnds raised, an increase from £58,000 in 2022 accordingly. Tempus Novo was olso very pleased to welcome several major new employers this year, amongst them Amazon, AP Moller Maersk, Culina and Ibstock. 2023 was also o successful year financially, not just in terms of the amount of fvnding received, but significantly, where that funding is coming from. It has long been the stated ambition of the Trustees and the executive team to achieve a greoter proportion of income from stakeholders ond a concomitantly reduced reliance on the generosity of foundation trusts and individual philanthropists. Tempus Novo has also seen a number of welcome new additions to the team in the past 12 months, along with one very sad loss. In October 2023, our longest serving trustee, Val Heywood, passed awoy. A former magistrate, Val joined the Trustee Board at the charity's inception and served as both Chair and latterly as Secretary for a number of years. Befitting the wonderful service she gave, the charity established the Val Heywood Outstanding Achiever Award, to be presented annually to an èx-offender who hos goné above-and-beyond since leaving prison, whilst a separate award was also Of course, the biggest stakeholder of all remains the taxpayer, given the staggering economic. but also social cost. of reoffending. The latest figures show that it Is still eheoper to send a boy to Eton (£45,000) than to house an offender in Jail over the same period1£51,600), a ludicrous state of afftiirs. Tempus Novo continues to look to engage with the justice sector to Incorporate the model developed by the Tempus Novo's entire philosophy has always been underpinned by the conviction that hiring ex-offenders isn't slmply a case of doing the 'right thing, from a CSR/ESG perspective. rather thcrt it makes sound 01
established by HMP Hatfield in her memory. 2023 also saw the departure of Gareth Bullen from the Trustee Board owing to work commitments. Gareth joined the Trustees in 2015 and served for many years as Treasurer, deftly stewarding the charity through o perlod of exponential growth, and he is to be warmly thanked for his service. representing as they do the best opportunity to enable serving offenders to pursue employment opportunities whilst released on licence, as well os to continue into full-time work upon release. The partnership with HMP Haffield continues to represent an extraordinary success, with fully 60 per cent of all serving offenders in employment in the prison securing that work through Tempus Novo. Beyond Hatfield, positive relationships continue to be developed with HMP Thorn Cross, HMP Kirk Levington, HMP Sudbury, HMP Askham Grange and, most recently, HMP Kirkham. Replacing Val and Gareth os Trustees are Paul Cotton and Tom King. Paul is a partner at Eversheds-suthefland Solicitors and heads up the employment law teams in Leeds and Manchester. Tom Is o retired solicitor after 34 years in private practice, during which he acted for a number of charities, both pro bono and on o fee-poying basis. Both bring invaluable experience to the Trustee board, specifically with respect to legal and safeguarding considerations. Looking forwards to the coming year, I am more optimistic thon ever that Tempus Novo is developing the right approach, with the right stokeholders, and the right team, to continue the charity's upwards trojectory by supporting more ex-offenders into employment, and in so doing improving not only their own lives and those of their families, but also society as a whole. Tempus Novo was also pleased to welcome Richard Cowlishaw as Executive Director, and Tony Mannix as Vice President. Both Richard and Tony worked at the most senior level at Clipper Logistics, now part of GXO, one of the charity's longest-stonding ond biggest employers, Richard os Group HR Director and Tony os CEO. George Grant Chairman of the Board of Trustees 2023 has beèn an Èqually strong year for Tempus Novo inside the prison gate, in particular with the Category D prisons. 02
A message from our Leadership Team 2024 has so far proved to be our best year and the future looks even more exciting for TN, thanks to the immense work of an incredible team. With a model built on trust, which is purpose-driven and results-focused. we have now established working relationships with John Lewis and Partners, A.P Moller Maersk. GXO logistics, Finsbury Food Group and many more. We have seen the positive impact of these partnerships, and there is little wonder that global brands like these are interested. GXO have employed over 350 ex-offenders over recent years, with many of them going on to be promoted, and an impressive retention rote of over 75%. a trusted brand comes from decades of experience in the criminal justice system and the outstanding results our team achieves. Changing the lives of marginalised people such as ex-offenders, using a model designed by experts gives our employers a level of support and confidence not seen before in this space. With a bespoke safeguarding and risk management system in place, we can be confident our employers are protected and supported, just a few reasons TN is proving popular amongst those businesses that have a purpose beyond profit. The world has changed since the pandemic with more and more people shopping online, meaning more warehouses are being built to cope with the demand and more people are needed to work in them. Our relationship with employers in blue-collar industries, in particular the logistics sector. gives us opportunities to grow with We continually expand the boundaries of what's possible and act on the next game changing opportunity to explore the unknown.

them and create more jobs along the way; entry level jobs thcrt employers find hord to fill, yet are ideal for many of our cohort (65%) who have the average reading and writing age of a 12-year-old. However, because many of those we recruit work so hard and demonstrate a positive attitude, we find they move on quite quickly to positions with more responsibility and better prospects. look for ways to have a purpose beyond profit, and recruiting through TN helps them to demonstrate this, as well as giving them a more diverse range of employees, also falling in line with their Environmental, Social and Governance Policy IESG). A highlight of the year, of which there are many, must be the success of the partnership we have with HMP Hatfield and GXO, where 65 of the 100 going out on ROTL do so through our corporate partners prior to their release back into society. This partnership has seen Haffield become the UK'S No.I prison on the Justice Minister's league table for numbers of offenders released to jobs. Tempus Novo is an award-winning charity focused on working with serving prisoners and ex-offenders looking for a way out of crime. The Charity works with repeat offenders to get them into employment and break the cycle of crime that damages our country's social fabric and costs the taxpayer several billion pounds every year1£18.1 Billion MOJ 2018 figures). outside prisons to identify offenders committed to transforming their lives by helping prepare them, both practically and emotionally, for the world of work. Part of the attraction for businesses is the fact we work hard as a team to achieve sustainability. The Charity works with a growing number of employers nationally, who share its vision and values and are willing to give offenders a second chance. Tempus Novo does not ask employers to hire its ex-offenders as a gesture of goodwill, but because they are the right people for the job. In fact, our organisation's values can be seen in everything we do, it's part of our DNA. Our aim is to have the biggest positive impact possible for our people, our partners, and our planet. Sustainability is becoming increasingly important amongst businesses as they Tempus Novo's unique strength is its direct links into, and an understanding of. the British prison system and those within it. Founded in 2014 by two serving Senior Prison Officers at HMP Leeds, Tempus Novo operates both inside and 04

Our Story How it started Employment 66% of those entering prison haven't got a job and only 18% of offenders are in paye employment 6 weeks after leaving prison. Research has demonstrated that securing sustainable employment for an offender reduces the probability of re-offending by half. i.e., it is, by a long way, the best method of reducing offending. Tempus Novo was established as a charity in 2014 to improve employment prospects and outcomes for offenders. It was founded by 2 then serving senior prison officers Val Wawrosz and Steve Freer who had seen generations of offender's pass through their hands. Many seemed to be making some progress whilst in prison but re-offended and were returned to prison soon after release. Getting and keeping a job gives an offender income, the means to keep a roof over their head and money for living costs and in many cases, for their families. It also gives them self-respect and the basis for rebuilding their lives. Steve and Val were determined to challenge this age old problem and TN was the ftuit of their erKleavours. TN has come a long way over the lost 9 years from being a volunteer run project working only in Leeds Prison, to on organisation operating across Yorkshire and further afield with a growing staff team and increases in the number of offenders we have supported. 60% of those committing crime are repeat offenders, who have had a poor start in life. People born into families where crime and poverty are well entrenched and prison is almost inevitable. By giving them a "hand up" we are breaking the cycle of crime and lifting them out of poverty. 13
How we work TN works across several prisons in the Yorkshire region including Leeds itself, Wealstun, New Hall, Hatfield, and Askham Grange Women's Prison. We are also developing a service across the UK linking in with the Category D prisons including HMP Springhill, South, HMP Sudbury, Midlands, HMP Thorn Cross North West, HMP Kirk Levington, North East, all providing free office space. Our most critical role is to match each person to a job-vacancy as quickly as possible so that participants rapidly have access to income and structure to their lives and prevent them from falling back into previous lifestyles and re-offending. We then provide support both for the offenders and their employers for a minimum of12 months. We place a great deal of emphasis on recruiting employers willing to offer sustainable jobs (no zero-hour contracts). TN now has a bank of over SO employers across the UK. window cleaning, textiles, engineering, catering, construction, and food manufacturing. We have particularly close links with the logistics industry. Since 2014 Tempus Novo have placed nearly1000 people into work. Over that period TN received 5188 referrals of which 2305 were interviewed and risk assessed, 780 went on to secure jobs with only 33 returning to prison, giving a re-conviction rcrte of 4.23% compared to the National average of 50% re-offending within 12 months of release and 64% re-offending within 2 years. 32% of these were some of the most complex offenders, known as PPOS Iprolific and Priority Offenders)". We have consistently achieved a retention rate of over 70% remaining in work over 6 months and we saw an improvement to over 90% during 2023. This is better than the mainstream recruitment.

Aim and Purpose Tempus Novo's core aim is to assist offenders in gaining and retaining employment, and by so doing, improving their chances of leading a positive life and reducing offending. Offending is damaging to perpetrators, their families and, most of all, their victims. It's olso a massive financial cost to society. In 21/22, the UK averaged 84,200 people in prison at a cost of £5.63 billion with the prison population forecast to increase to100,000 by 2026. Yet 50% of those leaving prison re-offend within 3 years. In short, the UK has one of the highest uses of prison in the developed world, some of the longest sentences and worst re-offending. The annual cost of re-offending is £18.1 billion per year IMOJ 2018>. Our costs are higher and our outcomes poorer. Of great concern to TN is the number of people who commit crime due to poverty; 80% of those that we help have had a poor start in life. Re-offending figures vary, as the information collected has changed over the years, but on average 50% of those leaving prison reoffend within 3 years. A longer-term study reported that 75% of offenders re-offend within 9 years of release. 15
Offenders Ilve In a vory hostlle Justlc• •nvlronm•nt which includes: Punitive sentencing regimes. Limited attempts at rehabilitation within prison regimes because of overcrowding and low staffing levels. Similarly, limited attempts to address issues such as drug use, mental health problems and learning disabilities. Limited support for those leaving prison. Prisons can be unsafe. The latest figures show that :_ Assaults on prisoners 13,788 increase of17% Assaults on Staff 7356 an increase of 7% Incidents of Self harm 700 an increase of 5% There ar•, however, Wa in which far better outcomes can be achleved. 16
The ROTL Model (Release on Temporary Llcense) Tempus Novo work with serving prisoners in Category D prisons (low risk) who attend work and then return to prison after their shift has finished. Extensive multi-agency risk assessments are completed before a serving prisoner can be granted ROTL and given permission to attend work. Tempus Novo then use our assessment process to determine whether a candidate is 'work ready,. A caseworker will be assigned to the Service User and will then support them into finding a suitable job position and the employment process begins. This caseworker will then continue to support the Service User and the employer for12 months after the Service Users release date. The Communlty Model At Tempus Novo we also offer employment opportunities to people In the community who have criminal records. These Service Users may not necessarily have been to prison but find barriers into employment because of their criminal records. Referrals for these Service Users come from a variety of places including Probation, DWP , Prisons, Police. local Hostels and self Referrals. We invite those referred in for an assessment and determine whether they are 'work reody, through our thorough assessment process. We ensure all candidates for employment will hove all the required documents including CV, proof of ID, National Insurance number and bank accounts. Our two models explained A caseworker will then support both the employer and the Service User for a minimum of 12 months. 18
How we performed Post Covid, we still faced huge challenges trying to generate referrals from probation, with many still working from home and shortage of Probation Officers across the country. We have managed to combat this by utilizing the existing staff who have been really flexible and spent time driving the referrals constantly. 2014 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2016 Total •l•rral• soo 717 761 814 613 894 698 Total rvl•w•d 214 278 366 387 339 398 473 rf¢ 103 148 In 200 rr•ntly In Work 79 104 132 urn•d 12 xppo 51% 35% 25% 26% 17% 11% tlon R¢rt• 74% 73% 75% 85% 77% 19
