## You Make It Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 

The trustees present their annual report together with the independently examined financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the recommendations of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP FRS 102 effective October 2019 ) as they apply to small charities. 

## Objectives and activities for the public benefit 

The objects of You Make It, as set out in its governing document, are to advance the education and to relieve unemployment of Greater London’s young unemployed women in particular, but not exclusively, by: 

(1) For the public benefit, to advance the professional and personal development of East London’s young unemployed and underemployed women – in particular those from non-privileged backgrounds – so that they may enter into and retain meaningful employment. This is done, in particular, but not exclusively, by delivering holistic three to six month programmes either in person or online, which provide participants with: 

(a) information though interactive workshops, which are focused on developing skills to increase the participant’s employability and wellbeing; 

(b) advice about learning and earning opportunities through a mentoring programme; and 

(c) access to work experience and other “hands-on” experience in order to develop job-readiness. 

(2) For the public benefit, in order to promote racial equality, to design and deliver a programme of interactive anti-racism workshops called You Change It (“YCI”). YCI will principally be delivered (both in person and online) to the employees of other charities, companies and organisations, as well as to individuals, from all backgrounds. Funds raised by YCI will, in part, go back into financially supporting the work described in (1) above. The YCI workshops (the exact number and contents of which may be changed from time to time (therefore this list is not exclusive)) are: 

(a) story telling by those with lived experiences of being victims of racism (“The Stories Write Themselves”); 

(b) the history and science of racism and its impact on those living in the UK today(“From Then to Now”); 

(c) an understanding of what having privilege means and what not having it means (“Check Your Privilege”); 

(d) developing the confidence to challenge racism at work (“What Would You Say If…?”); 

(e) support to develop actions which lead to racial equity at work (“Activate Your Allyship”).

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The objects are achieved through a variety of activities: 

- Three programmes a year running for 4 months, each for up to 25 women which provide unemployed and underemployed women with personal and professional development opportunities that allow them to fulfil their potential in the world of work and business 

- Mentoring for each of the women on the programmes with a wide variety of networked mentors from different backgrounds 

- Delivery of workshops, guest talks, seminars and debate clubs to build the confidence to speak up about issues that impact women, and to impart vital skills and knowledge relevant to leading happy and productive lives 

- The provision of counselling and pastoral care to enable women to overcome personal barriers (mental and practical e.g. housing and other issues) in order to stand the best chance at life 

- Working in partnership with employers who offer work placements, deliver workshops, and sponsor staff to mentor with YMI 

- Working in partnership with other local providers to ensure women improve their mental and physical health, activities include yoga classes, healthy cooking classes, and a running club 

- Workshops that are aimed at commercial and third sector organisations and members of the general public.

A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit 

Our Team worked from home between March 2020 until September 2021. During the period of home working, the team and its partners delivered activities via zoom. During lockdowns we observed and noted even more adverse effects on our women (the large majority of which are from Black and Asian backgrounds) in terms of mental health compared with face to face programmes due to increased isolation, and due to many having close family and friends who were negatively impacted by the virus (racially minoritised population are 4 times more likely to die of it according to research by the Office for National Statistics). 

Our online programme, though shorter than the face-to-face one, was more intensive in terms of contact during the week and, since piloting it in in May 2020, we have extended our programme to last 4 months and started working with up to 30 women per cohort. Our last fully online programme was delivered between October 2021 – February 2022, and we have now reverted to a mix of face to face and online activities. 

To combat issues with digital accessibility, our team were able to secure laptop donations and funding for WIFI dongles to ensure that women are able to access our service online. We also focus more strongly on mental and physical wellbeing. Over the last year we have completed delivery of 3 iterations of our online programme.

## Programmes for women 

During the 2021-22 financial year, You Make It: 

- completed delivery of three programmes, recruiting 76 women in total with 71 completing and 89% from racially minoritised backgrounds (2020-21: 77 women, 73 completing, 87% racially minoritised backgrounds) 

- delivered 204 hours of group learning in weekly workshops, debate clubs, seminars and guest talks ensuring creation of a new peer and professional network for women, knowledge and skills relevant to work and business start-ups, encouragement of healthier and happier ways of living, as well as providing a safe space for women to begin to reflect on and overcome issues of abuse and other trauma holding them back from moving forward with life (2020-21: 184 hours of group learning) 

- delivered 1,136 hours of 1-1 mentoring - each woman being matched with a mentor they met with at least 16 times over the course of 4 months on our second and third online programmes. (2020-21: 1,032 hours) 

- delivered 511 hours of weekly 1-1 therapy to address depression and anxiety. (2020-21: 396 hours) 

- delivered 72 hours of wellbeing activities including weekly yoga, mindfulness sessions and cooking classes (2020-21: 53 hours) 

In our previous report we noted a variance in our outputs and outcomes due to COVID-19 and lockdown. We have since been unable to reintroduce our offer of work placements but hope to do this in line with covid safety recommendations in 2022-23 as we resume face to face delivery. 

Our programme evaluations across this period nonetheless demonstrate consistent high impact. Through our self-rated surveys, all graduates have shown progress against a range of measures showing strong increases across: size of social network, public speaking skills, confidence levels, social skills, recognition of own skills, ability to promote their skillset online for employment and ability to manage health and wellbeing.

## You Make It 

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

Despite growing concerns around the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and subsequent job opportunities for beneficiaries, of 71 graduates from our three online programmes, 70% have since found employment, set-up as self-employed/freelance, accessed further educational courses/training or begun working on start-ups since taking part in You Make It. (2020-21: 62%) 

In 2022-23, we expect to work with up to 90 beneficiaries across 3 programmes and have already launched and begun delivering our first programme of the year which is hybrid in delivery (online and face to face). 

## Counselling and pastoral care supporting programmes for women 

We are pleased to share that during 2021-22 we recruited 2 new therapists and provided: 

- 511 hours of 1-1 counselling with trained therapists to 53 women across 3 programmes (2020-21: 396 hours to 61 women across 3 programmes) 

- 5 hours of pastoral care to 4 women across 3 programmes to signpost with issues around housing, benefits, domestic violence and debt  (2020-21: 10 hours to 6 women across 3 programmes). 

In 2022-23 we will be increasing the number of counselling sessions offered to beneficiaries who have deep unaddressed trauma. As such beneficiaries will now be able to access 10, 15 or 20 hours of counselling via You Make It. We expect to offer: 

- 650 hours of 1-1 counselling with trained therapists to approximately 61 women 

- 10 hours of pastoral care to 10 women across 3 programmes to deal with issues faced around housing, benefits, domestic violence and debt.

Workshops to employers and the general public 

The majority of the young women benefiting from our programmes as well as the staff team delivering our programmes have experienced racism throughout their lives, including in learning settings and workplaces. In the wake of the death of George Floyd and the momentum of Black Lives Matter since summer 2020, the team have focused instead on developing and launching You Change It, a new Anti-Racist development programme for employers. This evolved during 2020-21 into a pathway of 5 modules aimed at organisations who want to become active allies in the fight for inclusion. 

This training offer for employers promotes the following core aims: to share YMI’s expertise and knowledge in order to improve chances for young people from diverse backgrounds in the workplace and in doing so, to improve workplaces generally. At the same time, the aim is for this strand of our work, with its potential to earn income from businesses, to support the main programmes of work with young women financially. 

In 2021-22 You Change It was delivered to 108 individuals from 6 companies across the cultural, creative and charity sectors. Thanks to grant funding from Enterprise Development Programme and Charities Aid Foundation Resilience Fund, the team are focusing on developing the sales pipeline to secure further clients for You Change It in the 2022-23 financial year.

## Income generation 

Increasing earned sources of income in order to support the core programme for women has continued to be a key aim for 2021-22 in order to make sure that we remain a financially sustainable charity. The successful launch of You Change It in summer 2020, along with the sales of mentor training to companies saw income of £74,355 from these sources in the year (2021-21: £74,279) 

During 2021-22, activities were funded by grants from the following funders, and we are incredibly grateful to each one: Access- the Foundation for Social Investment Grant, Charities Aid Foundation Resilience Fund, City Bridge Trust -  East End Community Foundation, Duff and Phelps, The Green Hat Foundation The Henry Smith Charity, Mageni Trust, National Lottery Community Fund, Oak Foundation, The Funding Network, and Tudor Trust. 

## Volunteers and in-kind support 

We are also immensely grateful to all of our volunteers who, during our 4 month online empowerment programmes for young women, contribute their time to the programme-related activities as mentors, workshop leaders, delivered wellness activities including yoga classes, and provided literacy support. 

The cost of volunteered time is not included in the financial statements however, during the year volunteers provided 1,244 hours of support for our programmes (2020-21: 1,075 hours) with an estimated value of £39,900 (2021:£35,565) 

In addition to the contribution of volunteers, pro bono consultancy was provided during the year 2021-22 to further support the development of the You Change It programme of £1,500, Laptops and Computers were provided to women with an aggregate value of £1,600, and free use of venues to allow women to meet face to face for brunch was provided at a value of £2,700.  This support, totalled £5,800 (2020-21: £40,133) and is shown in note 3c of the financial statements.

## Financial Review 

## Income 

Total income for the year was £399,648 (2021: £371,609). 

Principal sources of income came from grants and donations which totalled £324,162 (2021: £295,965) and included £52,654 (2021: £13,031) in general donations from individuals and businesses, many of whom generously give on a regular basis, £5,800 (2021: £40,133) in donated gifts and services, and £265,708 (2021: £242,801) in grants from Trusts and Foundations. 

Donations from individuals and businesses was significantly higher than previous years after the very sad loss of one of our programme mentors following a tragic accident. A memorial in her honour recognised her commitment to You Make It and resulted in increased donations to the charity, including one of £14,505 from her employer Vitol and a separate donation from her former employer Reed Smith for £20,000. 

Other income comprised: mentors training of £21,605 (2021: £28,675), income from You Change It anti-racism courses of £52,750 (2021: £45,604) and other trading income of £1,131 (2020: £1,365). 

## Expenditure 

Total expenditure for the year ended March 2022 was £278,853 (2021: £288,338) of which the largest areas of spend were staff costs of £207,539 (2021: £182,612) and other direct programme costs of £42,581 (2021: £48,455). General running costs totalled £25,285 (2021: £52,820). 

Costs have fallen by £9,485. This is the result of three key changes: 

- A rise in staff costs of £24,927. This is the result of higher rates of pay and the introduction of a bonus scheme for all staff linked to earned income to recognise the change in responsibilities and personal cost faced by the team in delivering anti-racism training courses. Decisions were made to increase the salary of the CEO based on track record, performance (including fundraising expertise), increased accountability, her enterprise and networks to generate earned income for the charity. This followed a consultation process with stakeholders including funders. 

- General running costs have decreased £27,535. Costs in 2020-21 were much higher than normal levels due to the inclusion of consultancy costs totalling £16,000 to support the Board and Staff team with advice surrounding income generation and programme delivery at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and legal fees of £15,307. These costs, which were provided pro bono have not been repeated at the same levels in 2021-22.

## You Make It 

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

- Direct Programme costs fell over the year by £5,874 in comparison to the previous year.  The fall in costs was largely the result of Covid-19 crisis support provided in the previous year to women during online programme delivery having not been repeated in 2021/22. During the first part of the year food boxes continued to be provided to women which were replaced by refreshments in the latter part of the year when more face-to-face contact was possible. Counselling support costs increased by £4,096 compared to the previous year as a result of longer support being offered to women where needed.

## Total funds, reserves policy and going concern 

The trustees review the charity’s reserves policy annually and have considered the Charity Commission guidance on reserves in setting this policy. As income sources have changed during the year and the charity has become less reliant on grant funding, the trustees have refined their approach to setting the reserves policy for 2022/23, moving from considering the core costs requirements over a number of months, to a more detailed risk-based approach. 

Based on detailed analysis of the financial risks faced by the charity at this time, the trustees consider it necessary to aim for unrestricted undesignated funds of £230,470 (2020-21: £220,500), in order to maintain the charity’s services. 

This target represents: 

- £113,000 in case of a shortfall in earned income, being the amount of the earned income target assessed as high risk for the year ahead 

- £60,000 in case of a shortfall in grant income, being the amount of the fundraising target assessed as high risk for the year ahead 

- £42,470 to safeguard high quality services in the event of staff sickness or maternity/adoption leave, and 

- £15,000 to cover short term cash flow requirements, as the business model sometimes necessitates committing to costs before the related income is received. 

The trustees have considered the risk of sudden unexpected closure or withdrawal of funding, and consider this risk to be very low in the 12 months ahead; therefore targets have not been set for these areas. 

The largest part of the reserves target relates to unsecured earned income.  Due to the success of the team in developing sources of earned income to reduce YMI’s reliance on grant funding, there will now be a higher reliance on unsecured earned income to meet the budgeted running costs at the start of each financial year. Delays in recruiting a business development manager to focus on raising this source of income mean that the trustees feel that reserves are required to provide stability to the core programme for women as this income strand continues to develop. This will allow for fluctuations in income levels and provide time for sources of income to be further refined where necessary. 

Page 10 



## You Make It Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

At 31 March 2022, the level of unrestricted, undesignated reserves held was £238,451 (2021: £199,809) 102% of the agreed target (2021: 91%). Maintaining 100% of the target will be dependent on the success of the You Change It programme during the year ahead and trustees will continue to monitor this. 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves held, secured funding and the charity’s cost base and consider that there are no significant threats to You Make It’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of approving these accounts. In drawing this conclusion, Trustees have reviewed detailed financial forecasts including expected cashflows through to July 2023.  As such the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## Risk Management 

In the mid to longer term, there are multiple potential risks arising out of the pandemic, including with grant fundraising and demands on key funders from organisations meeting community needs. That said, because of our strong and consistent track record and since effectively pivoting to deliver our core programme as a modified online emergency Covid-19 intervention, since the coronavirus crisis began and also because of the focus on race equality matters in the aftermath of George Floyd (note a large % of our beneficiaries are women of colour) we have been successful in securing funding for our ongoing work. We continue to identify funding prospects and make new applications on a regular basis, and remain hopeful that the impact of and increased need for our services will give YMI a strong chance of securing the necessary financial support over the coming years. 

As already noted, in addition we have created a new earned income stream for You Make It that not only has the potential to reduce our reliance on grants, but also responds to the wider climate of racial inequality. At the time of writing You Make It has already delivered to 10 companies and 2 cohorts of individuals largely through the networks of the CEO to take part in this development programme, and is committed to ongoing marketing and development of this service. Although it is noted that with a recession companies are likely to cut their learning and development budgets, our offer is focused around an area that You Make It believes many employers will be likely to retain focus and resources if at all possible. 

Page 11 



## You Make It Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

Trustees monitor progress against fundraised and earned income targets in detail at each board meeting and are informed promptly between meetings of any significant successes or disappointments. With each report, trustees work with the team to consider the level of financial risk in the context of income secured, key prospects in the funder and customer pipelines and current levels of unrestricted reserves. This careful monitoring enables trustees to make appropriate financial decisions regarding commitments to future programmes and activities, in good time. 

In terms of continued delivery of services online, to date You Make It has been successful in recruiting women for online programmes and despite some challenges presented by online delivery, it has also generated unexpected and strong benefits and outcomes. 

Covid-19 meant that our staff spent some time working from their homes as well as volunteers supporting our programmes. This did not present significant difficulty for the team or our women beneficiaries. We are at the time of writing this report back in our co-working space, and are now delivering hybrid programmes that include online and face to face contact, having learned lessons about what can work during lockdown programmes. 

In terms of employment outcomes for women, the economic impact of Covid-19 is set to mean increased unemployment. This is at present hard to predict, but we will respond as best we can to meet the needs of our women, and to date, our evaluation of programmes since Covid-19 still show positive employment outcomes for women.

## Structure, Governance and Management 

The charity is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (charity number 1158572) and is governed by the terms of its constitution. 

Trustees are approved and appointed by the rest of the board on a majority vote basis. Each trustee position is initially for a 2-year term and may be reappointed for further terms of 2 years subject to the needs of the organisation. 

Skills gaps at board level are regularly reviewed and ongoing efforts made to reduce gaps. Any new trustee appointed is provided with an induction pack, which includes a Declaration of Interests section and a Skills Audit. 

The Chair and CEO of You Make It also induct new trustees into the work of the charity. 

All trustees are made aware of relevant organisational policies e.g. Safeguarding, as well as Charity Commission Guidance (all trustees are asked to register for updates from the Charity Commission). 

## Organisational structure and key management personnel 

The CEO reports to the Chair of You Make It, who is responsible for convening board meetings and ensuring the correct governance of the charity with other trustees. The Chair is also responsible for appraising the performance of the CEO and trustees. 

At present there are 4 staff: the CEO, a Director of Development, managed and appraised by the CEO, and a Programmes Manager and an Administrator, who report into the Director of Development regarding workflow, but to the CEO for personal development. The culture of management is relatively flat with frequent and open communication between all team members. 

The trustees consider the board of trustees and the CEO to be the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. 

The pay of the charity’s CEO is reviewed annually by the board of trustees. Any changes to staff pay are dealt with in accordance with the Staff Pay Policy which is set by the board of trustees and reviewed annually. 

Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 20 to the accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the CEO and, in accordance with the charities policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (Sofa) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

## 2.b Grants and donations 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the general income recognition criteria are met, generally upon receipt. (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 

Where grants are of a performance related nature, income is only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). 

## 2.c Government grants 

When Government Grants are received these are disclosed separately in the accounts (Note 3b) 

- 2.d Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

- 2.e Donated goods and services/facilities Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated goods are measured at fair value(the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. 

- 2.f Volunteer help 

   - The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
