Volition Community Tru8tee8' report l¢ontinuedl for the year ended 31 December 2022 Achiev8rnents and erform n¢ Volfiion Community was established on 2 February 2015 as a charity with the following I0 obje¢lives'. 1. The relief of unemployment for Ihe benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit, including assistance lo find employment 2. To promote social inclusion for Ihe public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. 2022 was a challenging year and yel 8 great year in the amount of people we helped to find work and training. The year started with most Jobcenlres in Greater Manchester on a very reslricled operation, with rnosl Work Coaches not referring clients lo any external provision, including Volition. Whilst the Gre8ter Manchester position did not pick up until Aprll, we were able. thanks to the ongoing support of the Department for Work & Pensions, lo carry out the formal launch of Volition at Salford Cathedral in March. During 2022, mostly via the Jobcenlfft Plus network, we had 366 individuals referred to Volition, of whom 142 enrolled al M8nchesteT and Salford Cathedrals. The highlights from this were.. 230A of our participants had a university degree, whereas a few years ago none had., The age range is wide, with an equal measure of parlicipanls in the 30-60 age range., Our volunteers come from no less than 17 countries, and include refLtrgees- both from Ukraine and Hong Kong., 380/0 of our participants moved into work. some for the very first lime. The expansion of Volition at saOrd Cathedral was pleasing. 11 a150 means Ihal, with 10 bee colonies at Manchester Cathedral, 10 on the roof of the Tree House Hotel on Deansgale, and 8 at Salford Cathedral. we have an abundance of volunteer opportunities in this area and a mighty honey harvest for Cathy and for Jenni, who started as a trainee bee keeper, l am very grateful for the support of Alex & Victoria Russell for believing in Volition. for supporting the installation of the hives on the roof of the hotel, and for enabling Volition lo expand ils provision by moving location lo a suite of new offices in the basement ol the Cathedral Visitor Centre. The Trustee very pleased with the level ofoulreach we managed lo achieve during 2022. This includes Art classes, Photography, Gardening, Beekeeping, Administralion and Welcoming in the two Cathedrals, all of which are detailed in the following sections of our report. New opportunities were created at Volition to counter some of the feelings of isolation fostered by Covid. One of these was the photography group led by professional photographer, Karin Albinsson. The Photography group gives people the time and Spa lo talk about themselves, their work and gels them out and about to explore the Cily landscape. Each week the group explores a new scene and one of the members takes the lead. The art group is also another opportunity provided by Volition that gives people the lime lo gain skills and grow in confidence. 11 was moved to Salford Cathedral 2nd this has given the artists a lighter Spa and the confidence to work in another venue. Volition was again affected by world events through 2022 as the war in Ukraine and people leaving Hong Kong brought new people lo our Shores. Refugees and those relocating from Hong Kong have been supported by Volits'on into work through gaining UK work experience 2nd securing references. People have also been helped with information on how lo find accommodation, ESOL classes and friendship. One couple were supported with an application for while goods and are now comfortable in their new home. Throughout the year there have been some great personal achievements. Veronika, with the support of our head beekeeper, gained her Gold Duke of Edinburgh award and through so doing supported other volunteers to learn about bee keeping,

This pa$1 year has highlighted the need for Volition in Salford due lo global crises, we are seeing an influx of people fleeing aulhorilarianism, many of whom have ended their journey in Salford. Salford is also bearing the brunt ol the current cosl-of-living crisi8, which disproporlionalely affects people who are most disadvantaged especially those living in our city, one of the most economically deprived local aulhorilie5 in the country. So how havb some of our other volunteer8 Ilve8 changed in 20227 Here Is a snapshot One Volitlon volunleer who has allended our Programme this year told us how previously she was unable to leave the house. Volition motivated her lo go outside, take the bus for the first lime in a long lime, and attend Volition's art Classes. She has found friendship through the Programme, as well as a newfound confidence. Volunteers have worked across ljoth ¢athedrals throughout the year. Our art class spent the Autumn crafting bèautiful Christmas cards and tree decorations, whlch were then sold at Salford Cathedral's Christmas Fayre, and throughout the Advent season. Another volunteer told us how she had never experienced friendship until she started attending the Volition Programme in Salford. She said that al the art classes she fell accepted and she has now made friends. We've had a wide variety of Volition activities and events over the year including beekeeping, art classes, interview technique training, and litter picking, Volition al Salford Cathedral continues lo deliver a unique service lo the City, garnering the involvement of many local charities and Jobcenlres. who have been actively referring volunteers lo us. This includes our new membership lo Salford CVS, a great slep forward in building networks within our local community, spreading the word of Volition even further. Our Partners: A new partner for 2022 is Treehouse Hotels. Throughout the year their staff have given time and advice lo groups through talks that have provided invaluable insights into their ethos and recruitment process. Now that Treehouse Manchester has tsken root and nears completion their recrLtitmenl team have generously taken lime to Come over lo Volition lo conduct initial, informal interviews and then second interviews in an environment familiar lo our participants. The lime and care taken to make interviewees feel comfortable has enabled each one to shine and the result is job offers. We look forward lo continue our positive engagement with Treehouse Manchester through 2023 and look forward lo taking up their offer of training space, back of house tours and work trials. Another gre81 partnership we have is with DWF. Over the years this prestigious legal and business services company have supported Volition with a host of professional talks at their Spinningfields's office. This opportunity enables our candidates lo expand their horizons and lake a fresh look al the Manchester labour market. Work trails have been partlcularly successful this year and placements In offIS have given some of our graduate andidales the opportunity to gain confidence and successfully manage their anxiety leve15. Three people have now gained employment as a direct result. In addition, each person has improved their leve15 of confidence and self-belief. Entrepreneur Joe Harper, from Just Bee, has been a great friend of Volition and has tsken the time lo give one-to- one business start-up advi on eGornmerce and marketing. Joe has also offered paid job opportunities. A final example of the great support we are given is from Manchester Arndale. We were excited when the Centre Direelor. David Allinson, hosted a tour of this landmark Manchester business. We had a behind the scenes tour from the basement that includes a logistics centre, boiler plant and recycling unil up to the most wonderful views tsf the MancLJnian skyline from the 19th floor.

ReservB8 Poli The Charity ha8 attracted funding for specific purposes. A significant number of sources are being established so as not lo become over dependent upon any single source, Ihus reducing the overall fi'nancial risk lo the Charity. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap belween the spending and receiving of income. The Iruslees aim to maintain free reserves in unreslricled funds al a level which equates lo approximately three months of unreslricled charitable expenditure. At 31 December 2022 unrestricted reserves amounted to £29.605. The current level of reserves 15 therefore higher than needed but are foreca8t lo reduce lo the required level during 2023.
