INTRODUCTION FROM THE FOUNDER & CHAIRWOMAN JUANITA INGRAM JD MBA

It is indeed an honour and a privilege to present the Dress for Success Greater London Annual Report of the Board of Trustees for the year ending 31 March 2021.

The Dress for Success Greater London (“DfSGL”) affiliate opened its doors in 2015 and we celebrate 5 years of being focused on continuing the legacy of helping unemployed women succeed at their job interviews and ultimately find economic independence. We have the benefit of being an affiliate of a large and well-established worldwide charity organisation, present in 155 offices and 23 countries, which has been in existence for over 21 years. DfSGL sets itself apart in that it offers our clients a differentiated experience where dignity, respect, and self-worth come together to build confidence, self-efficacy, and self-esteem on the road to economic success. We are unique in our global and established brand partnered with our local London understanding of our clients and supporters.

Each affiliate of Dress for Success is a stand-alone organisation with its own board of trustees and operational staff. We are grateful for the on-going support from our Worldwide organisation and sister affiliates as we continue to leverage a global platform that provides for shared learnings, best practices, and global corporate social responsibility opportunities. This again makes DfSGL unique in its ability to help women in London through the implementation of well-established practices and programmes, with the backing of a time-tested and trusted global organisation.

INTRODUCTION

FROM THE FOUNDER & CHAIR WOMAN JUANITA INGRAM JD MBA

Our primary focus during these past six years of re-launch and growth has been to remain committed to our suiting and interview training services. Each client received a dignified experience, inclusive of receiving interview attire and interview training in order to be successful at her upcoming job interview. Our well-established and trusted services are extremely effective. Many of our clients are long-term unemployed and have been unsuccessful in their pursuit of a number of job interviews and applications. Yet our clients who come through our London affiliate have an 80% success rate after the first visit and receipt of our services. We are honoured to know that so many of our clients benefit from the services we provide. We know that statistically when you change the economic posturing of a woman, you not only impact her life, but also the trajectory of the lives of those who depend on her including her children.

Our success rate is due in large part to the dedication of our Operational Leadership and Team and the distinctive services that we provide, and our outstanding volunteers who give their time to dress and train our clients. The advice, expertise, and consideration given by our volunteers to our clients will always be our greatest strength. DfSGL is also buttressed by comprehensive partnerships that enable our service to thrive by donating their clothes, financial support, and time. We consider it an honour and a privilege to have a number of respected names in the fashion and beauty industry. Their trust in the established 20+ year Dress for Success brand not only cements our integrity and credibility, but also affords us the opportunity to have access to vital stock to deliver a high-quality service.

Simultaneously, our trusted corporate partnerships and referral organisation relationships are also fundamental in enabling us to support the women who need our services. In addition, our grant funders provide us with the critical funding to enable our growth and sustainability.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to the Dress for Success Greater London Board of Trustees who have set a clear strategy for sustainability and growth. Their advice, dedication, and wisdom given to the charity are vital. Each Trustee brings their unique perspective, skill set, and network to the charity. They are truly inspiring and have a passion for the work that we do and the women that we serve. We remain committed and passionate about the support we provide to each woman that walks through our doors because we have seen the transformation our services have provided. I hope you enjoy reading this report and are inspired by the women we serve and their remarkable journey to success.

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES
----- End of picture text -----

The MISSION of Dress for Success Greater London (DfSGL) is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.

DfSGL provides professional clothing and counselling for each of our clients. When a client secures a job interview, we provide her with one free business suit, as well as the appropriate accessories, footwear, cosmetics and jewelry. At this session she is also provided with interview coaching.

When she successfully secures the job, she returns to DfSGL for a second dressing where she receives up to a week’s worth of business attire to see her through to her first pay cheque. In addition to the dressings and initial interview coaching, DfSGL offers several programmes to help clients successfully secure and retain employment, including Career Centre, Professional Women’s Group, Career Days and a Financial Literacy Programme. DfSGL serves job-ready women by referral only.

COVID19 - ADAPTING OUR
SERVICES
----- End of picture text -----

At the beginning of 2020, Dress for Success Greater London was in a position of strengths and growth after a dynamic year in 2019 where we exceeded our expectations in reaching out to clients and attracting significant partnerships and funds.

In April 2020, with the onset of the global COVID 19 pandemic, our situation changed dramatically with a country lockdown in March that meant our physical services had to cease as social contact was forbidden. Despite this setback, we managed to act quickly and restrategise our services. The lockdown brought us challenges but also enabled us to reflect and adapt to this challenge. We quickly reset so that we could offer our clients the best service we possibly could in the challenging months ahead throughout 2020 and the early part of 2021. All of our services were made virtual and we continued to support women throughout the unpredictable environment created by the pandemic by providing services such as:

1. Virtual Career chats and interview sessions;

2. Virtual styling sessions and refreshing existing wardrobe with our new Dress for Success Express service;

3. Transitional skills identification for moving forward;

4. After hours befriending service to lend a listening ear to clients in need and signpost them to specialised services;

Dress for Success Greater London 0203 773 7279 [e-mail]

1. Weekly facilitated sessions on topics relevant to the current climate- hosted by Weil law firm;

2. Weekly facilitated sessions hosted by professional experts in the field of mental health and well being and coping mechanisms; and

3. Weekly drop-in “Zoom sessions” for clients to network with others and tell their stories. We also ran urgent physical Styling sessions for clients by appointment only. These sessions commenced as we moved out of lockdown and into a tier system and we ensured that COVID guidelines and social distancing were in place.

MAIN ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT

Dress for Success Greater London (DfSGL) successfully achieved its primary objectives as outlined by our action plan for the year to 31 March 2021. These objectives in support of the public benefit include to:

• Provide work appropriate clothing for individuals seeking employment and/or educational opportunities;

• Provide job-seeking advice, training and education;

• Provide support services for those who successfully procure employment or an educational opportunity.

During 2020 and early 2021, the Charity continued to steadily increase the number of clients served. We completed 1189 appointments for interview dressing and interview and career coaching versus 1023 during the prior year. Women served included but were not limited to, ex-offenders, survivors of abuse, and women looking to return to work after raising children. The Professional Women’s Group continued to support women who found employment to be successful in their new working life.

Corporate governance and fundraising capacity continued to be highly effective. Our Trustees continued to bring essential and complementary skills and new networks to support the Charity.

The Trustees of DfSGL have had regard to the requirements of the Charity Commission on public benefit take such into account when making decisions. All Trustees are provided an in-depth onboarding orientation which includes a review of all relevant policies, procedures, requirements, obligations, and objectives.

CONTRIBUTION MADE BY VOLUNTEERS - RISING TO THE OCCASION

Throughout 2020, DFSGL could not have achieved what we accomplished without the commitment and dedication of our volunteers who rose to the challenge of providing physical services when needed and virtual services when required. They helped to address our client’s needs through this difficult time. Often, our volunteers faced emotional and traumatic issues from clients who were experiencing increased stress and anxiety due to the pandemic. Our volunteers remained calm, organised, and responded to suit the client’s needs either on an individual basis or in group sessions.

Our volunteers included our corporate partners and our core volunteers who went over and above what was expected of them. Evaluation sessions with volunteers post-delivery displayed a deep desire and commitment to continue to support DFSGL and clients also benefitted from additional support in terms of mentoring.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR YEAR

The Dress for Success brand and mission sits at the heart of our events and activities. Our ethos and values are echoed in our approach to our events and partnership. We continue to run events that not only raise funds but also broaden the awareness of our charity’s mission while simultaneously uplifting women globally.

We greatly appreciate the support from Roccomore Shoes. Roccamore shoes ran a campaign and designed a dress for success glitter bootie called “The Nita”. During the campaign, we agreed that all profits raised would be donated to Dress for Success Greater London. As a result, Roccamore raised an astonishing amount that will support 75 women.

LUX Magazine

We were thrilled to be featured in LUX Magazine, highlighting the work that we did before and during the pandemic. Founder and Board Chairwoman, Juanita Ingram, discussed our charity and mission, the vision for the future, and the importance of the relationship between the Executive Director and Chair.

LUX : "COVID has placed particular stresses on women especially across the world. How has the organisation been able to crisis-manage an integrated response when no one has ever experienced a pandemic?"

Juanita Ingram : "Our Executive Director Fionnuala Shannon and I have heavily leaned on and learned from one another this year. While many small to mid-sized charities have closed their doors in the wake of COVID-19, Dress for Success Greater London managed to adapt to our “new normal” rather quickly. We are determined that Covid-19 will not defeat us, but rather re-define us!

The seamless relationship between the Chair/Founder and Executive Director of a nonprofit is critical on a normal day. The personal and professional rapport between Fionnuala and I is what allowed us to forecast and persevere in a powerful and sustainable way. Amidst the pandemic, we’ve managed to raise substantial funds, maintain corporate relationships, and operations, as well as provide new, innovative programs.

I am currently residing and operating my non-profit production company remotely while living in Taiwan as an expat for my husband’s job promotion which has enabled me to have a very insightful lens on the pandemic. Having the vantage point of operating businesses on three continents (the US, UK, and Asia) has further enabled me to be informed about COVID-19 prior to my US and UK counterparts. Leveraging the information and knowledge that I acquired while in Taiwan (which has successfully managed the pandemic as a country) has proven to be beneficial to our London affiliate."

2021 Virtual Power of Women Series

we were In honor of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, delighted to produce The Virtual Power of Women Series consisting of a number of interviews with our supporters including Paul Wharton, Angie Greaves, Sue Reid, Managing Director UK and International at Adrianna Papell; Lady Charlotte Armstrong, and Lara Asprey.

The 2021 theme for International Women’s Day is #ChooseToChallenge and we asked some of our powerful supporters to share advice on how they overcome challenges.

Many enjoyed the series and choose to also support our Your Hour Her Hour campaign by pledging to give the equivalent of one hour of their pay to help empower a woman. The Dress for Success Your Hour Her Power fundraising campaign is aimed to assist us in empowering women. By giving just one hour of your pay, you give a Dress for Success woman access to programs, services, and tools that will help her achieve economic advancement.

OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

GENERAL

Women who had successfully gained interviews benefitted from our Dress for Success Express service throughout 2020 as we assisted 630 women to interview. Although this was a slight decrease on the previous year, we consider it a success to have pivoted our services to a virtual platform and still supported so many women to success. When the lockdown started to ease, we experienced clients getting interviews in the health service, administration, and retail. Out of the clients we assisted on their pathway to employment, we maintained our 80% success rate trend from the previous year. The remainder of clients assisted was through attendance at virtual weekly sessions, career chats, and befriending services.

OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

SUITING SERVICE

We continued to operate a suiting service 4 days per week where clients receive a combined service of interview coaching and styling session in preparation for job interview and success. Ongoing support includes a capsule wardrobe session once the client has succeeded at her job interview.

Although we face challenging situations in our limited premises and capacity, we still achieved a minimum of 20 appointments over 4 days a week (20 hours of appointments ) with only 2 dressing rooms and a small career centre.

BLOCK BOOKINGS

Block bookings continue to be delivered in response to the demand of Referral Organisations that operate employment platform programmes. Referral partners make a block booking at the Dress for Success Boutique at an appropriate time within their programme. We promoted block bookings so that vulnerable clients who rely and depend on peer support at their support organisation can come to our boutique as a group. This model particularly applies to ex-offenders and young women leaving care.

OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

INSTANT IMPACT PROGRAMME

This innovative programme continues to be promoted to corporate partners that provide a condensed session on the importance of "Instant Impact" in relation to communications and appearance. This is offered to partners who run work experience week programmes for students aged 16+. The Students are then offered our suiting service as a follow up. This programme aligns with corporate social responsibility and inclusion and diversity strategies. Due to the success of "Instant Impact", we will continue to offer this to corporate partners.

PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S GROUP (PWG)

Clients who have successfully obtained employment meet monthly to continue to receive the ongoing support that they so very much need. Subjects addressed during PWG sessions include financial literacy, body language confidence, job performance review prep, make-up lessons, confidence-building sessions, and more.

Our PWG runs once a month and is attended by 20 clients virtually and in person when permitted.

CAREER CENTRE

Our career centre continues to grow in demand for mock interview sessions, CV review and interview skills and techniques. Although we offer interview skills and techniques as part of our suiting service, throughout 2020 and 2021, we continued separate individual CV reviews and mock interviews. We also offer separate Career Chats at each client's first dressing.

OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE

REFERRAL PARTNERS/ORGANISATIONS

In 2020/2021 we maintained our Referral Organisation engagement. We have engaged with all of our Referral Organisations through campaigns, presentations to team leaders, and Boutique open days. We receive clients from a diverse range of organisations that includes: ex-offenders, human trafficking, drug and alcohol abuse, victims of domestic and sexual abuse, and out-of-care young people.

We work with Jobcentre Plus branches (state-run employment support and social security) serving 200 outside of this network.

PR & MARKETING

We are grateful for all of the positive feedback we continuously receive regarding our new website. We cannot express enough our appreciation to the volunteer who serves on our Marketing Committee that devoted countless pro bono hours to develop our new website. Due to this redesign, we have experienced an increase in web traffic, volunteer applications, and donations.

Social Media is certainly a prominent staple in our daily lives and we are pleased with the continuous interactions that our social media channels provide.

We are always grateful for opportunities to inform the public about the services we provide, celebrate our clients' successes, and inform audiences of ways in which they can support the women that we serve.

PERFORMANCE OF FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AGAINST OBJECTIVES SET

Partners and donors are an integral part of Dress for Success Greater London to sustain and maintain our services. Our fundraising efforts have increased significantly in 2020 and 2021 despite the global pandemic challenges. We are grateful for all of our donors and supporters that allow us to continue to serve the women we help. Corporate and retail partners donate various "in-kind" and financial support.

Developing and maintaining corporate relations together with the commitment corporate partners make to us help us to succeed and empower even more women. We are appreciative of the corporate partners that believe in the work we do and the impact we make.

CORPORATE PARTNERS & DONORS

We have continued to build and establish new relationships with corporate partners who support and are committed to the work of DFS. Corporate and retail partners donate various "in kind" and financial support.

THE DRESS FOR SUCCESS TRANSFORMATION IMPACT

The daily transformation that we witness in our clients continues to fuel our passion for the services we provide. We continue to play a critical role in helping women re-enter the workplace and building self-worth, self-efficacy, and confidence in each woman that we serve. We know that statistically when you change the economic posturing of a women, you not only impact her life, but also the trajectory of the lives of those who depend on her including her children. The most impactful way to understand our impact is through the testimonies of our clients:

CLIENT STORY FROM VOLUNTEER

Dress for Success Greater London is a really well thought out charity that has helped me so much this season and I am grateful. The Online version of the help that DFSGL offered me during the Coronavirus Pandemic has been caring, organised, and precise as there were many options available for me to use to link with DFDGL operatives well.

These options were all virtual and I opted for Skype and a Whatsapp Video Call but I was told that loudspeaker calls could be used only if I wanted. I opted for Skype and Whatapp video calls because I wanted to see items of work clothing chosen for me and I was pleased to find that Maria Luisa and Sharon had everything organised and worked out well so that I could select and have clothing items delivered to my address in time for my work start date.

RESERVES POLICY

Unrestricted reserves are to comprise total reserves to the charity less those reserves which have been restricted or designated for specific purposes. Unrestricted reserves should not exceed what is required to support on-going operations for up to 18 consecutive months. The trustees have considered that the most appropriate policy is to maintain any surplus funds in the form of bank deposits. This policy is kept under review, having regard to the level of funds available.

Each year the Finance Committee, in consultation with the senior officer, reviews the reserves policy, taking into consideration the major risks faced by the charity. Any changes to the policy will be proposed by the Finance Committee and approved by the Trustees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CON'T.)

AMOUNT OF RESERVES HELD

As of 31 March 2021 DfSGL held unrestricted reserves of £260,001.

DETAILS OF FUND MATERIALLY IN DEFICIT The Charity has no funds materially in deficit.

GOING CONCERN

The Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF REVENUE

The Charity relies on a variety of sources, primarily fundraising activities, grants, corporate and individual sponsors, for revenue. For the fiscal years to 31 March 2016 and March 2017, DfSGL also benefited from the support of Dress for Success Worldwide for start-up funding and operating capital over the period. For fiscal years commencing on April 1, 2017, through March 2021, DfSGL relied on grant funding, corporate sponsors, and fundraising activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (CON'T.)

EXPENDITURES, INCOME & FINANCIAL POLICIES

The Trustees of DfSGL review planned expenditures and expected income as part of a formal annual budgeting process. Any proposed new expenditures or programmes are inventoried and evaluated prior to incurring costs to ensure adherence to the budget and maintenance of adequate reserves. Risks associated with new or increased expenditures are inventoried and evaluated prior to incurring costs. Mechanisms for mitigation are put in place as soon as deemed necessary.

Internal controls over all forms of income, assets, and commitment and expenditure continue to be refined to improve efficiency. Performance is monitored through a series of operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) reviewed regularly by the Trustees. Financial management information is prepared and presented to the Finance Committee on a monthly basis and to the Trustees for regular review.

With regard to fundraising and advertising, the vast majority of these outgoings can be associated with an in-kind donation of services, with minimal cash expenditure.

The cost/benefit to the public purse in delivering Dress for Success services continued to be a saving of over £1.8 million in 2020/2021 and this amount is increasing. To support a client for approximately 15 months costs just £230 providing value for money invested.

PRINCIPAL RISKS FACING THE CHARITY

All current financial obligations are short term and flexible in nature and cash flows are monitored monthly and forecasts updated regularly to ensure adequate financial resources for the Charity. In addition, the Charity manages other operational risks with staff and volunteer training, adherence to policies and procedures as well as third party insurances as appropriate.

NOTE REGARDING IN-KIND DONATIONS

Donated goods and services are recognised in the financial statements when the goods and services are received by the charity and their value can be measured with reasonable accuracy. The value placed on these resources is their value to the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE &
MANAGEMENT
----- End of picture text -----

DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARITY'S TRUSTS

Type of governing document

How is the charity constituted

Trustee selection methods

Dress for Success Greater London Limited (“DfSGL”) is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee without share capital. It was set up by a Memorandum and Articles of Association which were incorporated on 13th March 2014. DfSGL and its Trustees are bound by said Memorandum and Articles of Association. The names of the trustees who served during the year are set forth on page 26 .

The charity is constituted as a private company limited by guarantee without share capital

All Trustees are recruited against a role description. Candidates for Trustee positions meet with at least two Trustees (serving as an ad hoc Nominating Committee) to assess suitability for the Board in terms of experience, skills and potential value that they will add. If the candidate is deemed suitable, Board members may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to be a Trustee under the terms of the Articles of Association. Regular reviews of Trustee Scorecards are undertaken to assess the skills of the current trustees and identify any areas of expertise gaps.

Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees:

Additional governance issues

New Trustees participate in a comprehensive induction process and are provided with an information pack covering the work of the charity and their responsibilities as a Trustee. The Chair of the Board of Trustees works closely with new Trustees to ensure that they have a good understanding of their role and the contribution that they can make to the charity.

Organisational structure and any wider network within which the charity works:

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees (who are also Directors of the charity for purposes of the Companies Act). The trustees review and approve all policies, and follow a strategy set forth in 2015, and recently revised in 2018.

Pay Policy

All trustees give their time freely and no trustee received remuneration this year. Pay policies for staff and independent contractors should be fair, transparent, competitive, benchmarked and sustainable. DfSGL shall pay its staff and independent contractors competitively and at the same time ensure that it remains prudent, guaranteeing that salary and compensation costs are sustainable at all times. We aspire to pay staff and independent contractors around the medium market pay level for comparable jobs in similar sized charities in London.
