JBVC FOUNDATION Company Limited by Guarantee Trustee's Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report) (continued) Year ended 31 December 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The JBVC Foundation (the "Foundation") is the brainchild of its founder, Johnson Beharry V.C., C.0.G.. Johnson was awarded the Victoria Cross in 2005 for valour in Iraq. He continues to spearhead the . fundraising activities of the Foundation, supported by a team of Trustees, Associates and other supporters.

The formal objects of the Foundation are to:

Currently, and in line with its objects as set out above, the Foundation is focused on assisting young people to leave street gangs and develop sustainable careers. By working in collaboration and partnership with leading practitioners, the Foundation aims to provide mentors who will support young people into apprenticeships, training, work experience / placements,

The Foundation's current focus is funding and running a through the gates programme (the “JBVCF Through The Gates” programme). A caseworker (employed by St Giles Trust but retained by the Foundation to work on the JBVC Through The Gates programme) provides support to first time offenders both before and after release from prison. The programme offers multi-faceted support, especially post telease. Many clients move from basic support into Education, Training and Employment (“ETE”). Programme costs per client are approximately £4,000 per annum, which is a fraction of the annual cost of incarceration.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 2021

Charitable Activity

The Foundation’s JBVCF Through The Gates programme continued throughout 2021. It is available to individuals with links to five London Boroughs, The programme continues to focus on three stages of support:

1. Foundational help (basic living needs);

  1. Strengths evaluation, CV writing, activities application; and 3. Education, training and apprenticeships, with the ultimate aim of employment.

-2-

| |

The programme maintains the original objective of establishing relationships with potential clients prior to prison release. However, greater prison access restrictions due to the Covid pandemic continued through the year, making it more challenging to identify and engage with new clients. The pandemic also adversely impacting training, apprenticeship and employment opportunities. However clients continued to benefit from different levels of support throughout 2021, with much time needing to be spent by the caseworker on the continuing challenging area of finding suitable accommodation.

In 2021 the programme benefitted 23 clients, of which 7 successfully left the programme having moved in employment of structured training or education. Of the 12 clients still on the programme at the end of 2021, 2 have progressed to Education, Training and Employment (“ETE”) but are still being supported by the caseworker.

Charitable project spending in 2021 was £54,275 (2020: £56,400).

Fund Raising

During 2021 the Foundation continued to raise funds, achieving unrestricted donations and net proceeds from own events of £30,943 (2020: £22,504). The Trustees wish to record their gratitude to all past donors, without whose generosity the Foundation’s activities would not be possible.

Cost Control

The Foundation continued to manage its running costs, relying on voluntary assistance from an expanded team to keep such costs to a minimum. Asa result running costs for 2020, at £3,829, were 63% lower than the prior year (2019: £10,314).

Net Funds

Net funds reduced in the year by £37,724 (2018: £1,523), leaving still healthy net assets of £120,911 at year end (2019: £158,635). These assets are more than adequate to ensure continued funding of the current programme to the end of its second year, providing necessary continuity for maximum effectiveness.

Governance

The Trustee and support team’s mix of commercial, legal and accounting skills means that there is a continuing focus on good governance in all areas. The complete overhaul of the Foundation’s operating manual was conclude in early 2020. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) continue to be maintained to allow ongoing evaluation of the JBVCF Through the Gates programme,

Trustees

Hugh Colville resigned as a Trustee on 6 December 2021 to pursue other charitable roles. Other than this resignation, there were no changes this year.

The organisation is reliant on donations and proceeds from own events, the income from which was £30,943 (2020: £22,504). For the year ended 31 December 2021 a deficit of £24,802 (2020: £37,724). At the end of the financial year net current assets were £96,109 (2020: £120,911).

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Charitable Activities

| |

The Foundation’s objective is to continue supporting clients through the existing JBVCF Through The Gates programme, The Trustees will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the programme, through a focused set of regular KPIs.

JBVC FOUNDATION Company Limited by Guarantee Trustee's Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued) Year ended 31 December 2021

The relationship with the existing service provider is strong, and their focus on the “lived experience” of caseworkers with offending history themselves, will continue to be leveraged to encourage high levels of programme effectiveness, The Trustees will continue to monitor the planned changes in the Prisons and Probation Service and modify the programme if required.

~~...

The Trustees will also continue to monitor and assess the activities of other charities operating in the areas of prisoner rehabilitation and gangs exit, with a view to adopting best practice ourselves in the future or . possible collaboration. -

Fund Raising

The Foundation will continue to raise funds in order to achieve its aims and objectives.

In line with the Foundation's guidelines, any new programme will need to be fully funded before it can commence. Therefore fundraising will continue to be a critical activity for the Foundation. The current restrictions due to Covid have limited opportunities to hold events to raise funds and/or to have meetings with possible donors. However the Foundation hopes to be able to increase its fundraising efforts as Covid restrictions are lifted.

Governance;

Good governance will continue to be a major focus for the Foundation.

Marketing:

In 2021, opportunities for marketing and networking events were limited due to Covid restrictions. The Foundation looked to find opportunities to have representatives present in online events organised by third parties, plus distributed marketing materials to various other charitable organisations in an effort to obtain donations. The Foundation published newsletters on its website and looked for promoted its activities through social media channels.

Running costs:

,

The objective continues to be to keep running costs to a minimum level, drawing on volunteers where possible. This will help ensure that the vast majority of donations can be applied to direct charitable activities.

.

RESERVES POLICY

The Foundation has in place a reserves policy to meet unexpected demands on its finances at any time. The level of reserves is reviewed by management annually, prior to the commencement of the next financial year. Currently the reserves policy provides cash reserves in the bank sufficient to cover major outgoings for a forward period of six months.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

;

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissioner's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financia] instruments

,

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the Foundation becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs,

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are cither assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

|

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

4. Limited by guarantee

The Trustee Mr R Bravery is a guarantor for the Foundation. The members! liability is limited to a maximum contribution of £1 to the Foundation 's assets in the event of a winding up.
