THE PIMLICO FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Objects of the charity
The charity is a public benefit entity in the form of a Charitably Incorporated Organisation (CIO) & governed by a constitution. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are:
a) To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in Pimlico and greater London in accordance with the statement of faith appearing in the schedule. b) In the context of the first object, to advance in life and help young people through the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life and providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
The Pimlico Foundation is affiliated with Scripture Union. The affiliation is informal, but Scripture Union has provided some seed funding for the Pimlico Foundation and has provided advice for trustees.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
Hot chocolate Thursdays - Community outreach:
Every Thursday during school term we run our ever-popular community outreach project 'hot chocolate thursdays' within Churchill Gardens Estate, where residents of the community come out during all weather conditions to engage, build community cohesion, play sports/games, catch up, and share their afternoon with us. Very popular with the local school kids and familys who come over and their currency for receiving a cup of hot chocolate is to tell us one thing they've learnt in school for the day. We have weekly vistors from the local council teams, police, volunteers and other youth organisations
We've piloted a session in Lillington Gardens Estate, which will be established as the Outbreak team grows with another full time member on board, enabling the session to be run simultaneously.
Food Programmes:
This year we partnered with 'change4life' to establish a family cooking session, whereby children, youth and families learn to cook healthy meal on a budget. This has become very popular seeing 3040 attendees each session. We also recieved 'HAF' funding in order to make and give away hotfood meals to local families in the area, with over 400 meals made.

Holiday Clubs: During the summer holiday
During the school summer holiday, we ran our annual holiday club during August welcoming 40 young people; with the help of volunteers from St Gabriels Church and young leaders who have been through our programmes. During the week we held educational and employability workshops, organised sports and various off-site trips including go-karintg, roller-skating, sailing/kayaking on the river thames and a thorpe park trip. Holiday clubs are a vital need for families in the area as many of the kids come from single parent homes, where the demand for support with enabling their children to engage in extra curricular activities are important, particularly through the school holidays. Messy Church:
Messy Church has continued in partnership with St James the Less Church, telling the story of Jesus in fun and interactive ways, through stories and various work stations. On average we saw over 100 children and families attendee each session.
Mentoring:
We have continued mentoring children in Pimlico Academy, establishing great relationships with the
Football - London Sport
We began regular weekly football session on the sky pitch within lillinghton gardens estate. The sessions began with some coaching drills and ended in a large football match.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Future plans
For 2023 we would like to develop and establish Hot Chocolate Thursdays in both Churchill and Lillington Gardens, running both simultaneously. A main focus will be growing and establishing a 'Sports Hub' with weekly sports activities and a sports coaching package to offer in schools (inc running P.E lessons, school teams). We received funding from London Sport to develop a rollerskating club and cycling group. We are planning to start roller-skating sessions weekly from April 2023. Attendees will learn skills such as pivoting, weaving, turning, braking, transitioning, skating backwards, spins and will visit roller skating rinks in London; Roller Nation (North London), and Flippers World (West London).
Grow team, with additional full time/part-time staff and develop apprenticeship scheme.
Financial review
Overall, our financial position was significantly altered through COVID-19. The reduction in activity led to a corresponding reduction in funding - in particular grants that we often receive to support specific events (such as holiday clubs). We also saw some drop off in giving due to financial hardship. As we sought to ramp up activities again in 2022 (with a corresponding increase in costs) we saw challenges in maintaining our preferred 3 months of financial reserves (approximately 30k GBP). We also experienced delays in certain key financial processes (e.g. expense submission). These processes were reviewed and improved during the year and we have seen material improvements in 2023.
Our principle sources of funding were individual donations from private individuals, support from local churches, and seed funding from Scripture Union.

Reserves policy
The charity seeks to keep 3 months of funds in reserve at all times (approximately 30k GBP) in order to keep operating sustainably. However, we struggled to maintain this during 2022 (although we are healthier in 2023). An arrangement has been made with key donors to the charity for injection of funds in the case of cash shortfall. This was done at the end of 2022 to rectify the challenges in the cash position.
Funds in deficit
At the end of the year we were in a difficult position as we have insufficient funds to pay our remaining bills. However, this situation was swiftly rectified in early 2023 through several generous donations and the charity is in much better health in 2023 with reserves having been restored to an appropriate level.
Governance
During 2022, the Trustees met reguarly (3 times during the year) to ensure the smooth running of the charity. The day to day line management of the youth workers was carried out by Rev Lis Goddard acting on behalf of the trustees. To assist Lis in her duties, a management board has been created to provide operational oversight of the charity on a day-to-day basis.
Risk Statement
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. Our principle risk relates to the safeguarding of young people. We have appointed a safeguarding officer (Vivien Stovell) to ensure that we continue to meet our safeguarding responsibilities. Vivien is regularly visiting the youth workers and provides regular reports to Trustees to ensure we have strong day-to-day control of our safe guarding risks.
During 2022, an there was increasing concern from the trustees around the financial health of the charity. This was regularly reviewed and a mitigation was put in place by arranging emergency funding through generous donations if required. We also undertook a review of financial controls - particularly around expenses - which has continued into 2023. This has led to improvements in the processes of filing receipts in a timely fashion.

Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes.
