REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
HELLO
Thank you for your interest in Future Frontiers.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to share with you our report on the charity’s activities and impact over the last year.
In partnership with schools, businesses and supporters, we have worked with 1,297 young people to discover their aspirations for the future and make a plan towards their target career.
Amongst the challenging backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen young people’s career readiness, self-belief and motivation grow.
We have continued to invest in external evaluation to better understand the impact of our programme for young people. In a recent evaluation, teachers reported that, when compared to their peers, Future Frontiers participants demonstrated increased positive attitudes toward learning, increased engagement at school and put more effort into their academic learning.
Alongside this, we have undertaken a strategic review. Following the review, we have taken the decision to target our future work towards lower-attaining, disadvantaged 14-16 year-olds, who are at a heightened risk of entering poorly fitting post-16 courses and not achieving the qualifications that will open doors to higher level learning and fulfilling employment.
We believe working with these young people is where we can make the biggest difference and achieve transformational impact on their future career paths and life chances.
We will test this by committing to rigorous, long-term impact evaluation and use our findings to develop our programme to achieve maximum benefit for young people and their opportunities.
Thank you to everyone – the teachers, business leaders, volunteer coaches, supporters and advocates – who works with us to empower young people on their journey towards a brighter future and build a fairer society for all.
We look forward to our continued work together.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
OBJECTS
As set out in the charity’s governing document, the charity’s objects are specifically restricted to the following:
To advance the education of the public and relieve poverty, including but not limited to:
-
Improving the academic progress of socio-economically disadvantaged young people; and
-
Providing educational support to socio-economically disadvantaged young people.
MISSION
Future Frontiers exists to ensure that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their potential at school and when transitioning to education or training.
AIMS
Our long-term aim is to empower disadvantaged young people to make and sustain positive onwards transitions into education or training, which will enable them to access higher-level learning and secure, fulfilling employment.
To make this possible, we equip disadvantaged young people with the career readiness, self-belief and motivation they need to discover and pursue their target career.
Ultimately, our vision is for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to fulfil their potential and to break the cycles of poverty that exist in our society.
NEED
At age 16, a young person must make decisions that have lifelong consequences.
Too often, disadvantaged students struggle at this critical juncture, which perpetuates cycles of disadvantage. To build a fairer society in which every young person can fulfil their potential, these cycles must be broken.
Following our strategic review, we will target lower-attaining pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. For lower-attaining pupils who may not achieve the qualifications required to continue to academic courses at sixth form, they face an overwhelming landscape of courses and application processes. This increases their risk of underachieving, dropping out and becoming NEET.
4
ACTIVITIES
We deliver an evidence-based programme in which young people take part in six hours of career coaching with a volunteer coach, increase their understanding of the pathways available to them and speak with a role model in their target sector. Along the way, pupils make a personalised plan towards their future career, including a back-up plan.
In 2020/21, 1,297 young people took part in our programme virtually.
Following a strategic review, we will extend and intensify our provision to offer lower-attaining, disadvantaged young people aged 14-16 a programme over two years. Following their career coaching sessions in Year 10, young people will have access to new, personalised guidance in Year 11 to choose, apply for and secure a well-fitting post-16 course. In 2021/22, we will pilot this provision with a small group of Year 11 pupils, with the aim of refining and rolling out more widely.
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
NEW PUPIL OUTCOMES FRAMEWORK
We measure the short-term impact of our programme on pupils’ career readiness, self-belief and motivation, which are essential for pupils to engage more fully with school and make positive post-16 transitions into education and training. We use pre- and post- pupil surveys, including validated questions from the Student Career Readiness Index and the Social Emotional Health Survey - Secondary.
We also work with partners to externally evaluate the impact of our programme on pupil engagement, attainment and ability to make positive transitions.
As part of our strategy for 2021-26, we commit to longterm evaluation against a new pupil outcomes framework.
VOLUNTEERS
The Future Frontiers programme relies on the dedication of our volunteer coaches, who are recruited through our partnerships with businesses. Last year, 1,192 volunteer coaches from 83 businesses invested their time in supporting young people to pursue an inspiring future.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
PROGRAMME REACH
In 2020/21, we worked with 1,297 young people from 49 schools.
1,192 volunteer coaches from 83 businesses delivered career coaching sessions for pupils.
PROGRAMME DELIVERY
The majority of pupils engaged well with the programme, despite the continued disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and challenges associated with online delivery.
97% of young people agreed “my career coach helped me to discover a career that inspires and motivates me”.
The move towards online and more independent coaching increased the risk of pupils disengaging from the programme, when compared to our typical in-person model.
In response, we worked closely with teachers to consult pupils on their concerns and implement additional support measures. This included extending programmes beyond the usual half-term timeline to give pupils more time to complete the four coaching sessions. We also ran additional assemblies for pupils and arranged weekly catch-ups with teachers between coaching sessions.
Informed by our learnings, in Summer 2021, we adapted further towards a hybrid delivery model, in which pupils dial into their virtual coaching sessions from school, supported in-person by a Future Frontiers Programme Manager. This was successful in increasing attendance and engagement.
Where possible, in 2021/22, we will transition back towards in-person delivery, which is the preferred model for schools and businesses and gives young people the opportunity to experience the office environment during their coaching sessions.
Alongside this, our online delivery model remains vital as an alternative option to support as many pupils in need as possible.

PROGRAMME IMPACT
We have used quantitative and qualitative data to understand the difference that our programme has made for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We have seen positive progress in pupils’ career and transition readiness, self-belief and motivation, which are crucial to making positive onwards transitions into education and training.
In the long-term, we believe young people are more equipped to fulfil their potential and break away from disadvantage, which is vital to building a fairer society.
EXTERNAL EVALUATION
Since 2019/20, we have worked in partnership with non-profit organisation, ImpactEd, to externally evaluate the impact of the Future Frontiers programme on pupils’ engagement and attainment at school. As school-recorded data was unavailable at the time of this year’s evaluation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, ImpactEd conducted teacher surveys and a focus group that explored perceptions of pupil engagement and behaviour.
Teachers reported that, when compared to their peers, Future Frontiers participants showed:
Pupils shared that, following the Future Frontiers programme, they felt:

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Future Frontiers has navigated the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain a stable financial position, with support from our school and business partners, and supporters.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the charity’s income in the 2020/21 financial year. In some cases, programmes for schools and businesses were deferred until later in the year, which meant a loss of projected income from new partnerships.
We increased our fundraising activity and are grateful for the support given through grants and donations which have helped to protect the charity’s sustainability.
Despite the disruption, we have been able to add to our reserves and to meet our reserves policy.
The charity is in a strong position to embark upon our new strategy for 2021-26 and increase the number of young people we work with.
INCOME
In 2020/21, total income was £803,733 through a combination of income streams:
-
£444,817 (55%) was earned through charitable activities, including contributions
-
towards programme costs from partner schools and businesses.
-
£354,404 (44%) was income from fundraising, including grants and donations from
-
organiations and individuals.
-
£4,511 (1%) was other income from the Government furlough schemes.
The Trustees are sincerely grateful to the partners and supporters who have stood by the charity through the Covid-19 pandemic and we look forward to our continued work together to equip disadvantaged young people to succeed in pursuit of their target career.
EXPENDITURE
In 2020/21, total expenditure was £659,346 , including:
-
£579,929 (88%) on our charitable activities though the delivery of the Future Frontiers coaching programme.
-
£79,417 (12%) on raising funds.
RESERVES
Future Frontiers’ reserves policy is to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to enable activities to be continued, taking account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.
The Board of Trustees has set the charity's reserves requirement as at least three but not more than six months of average recurring operating costs. This is calculated using average monthly expenditure within the annual budget.
According to this policy, the charity needs to ensure general reserves of £164,836 - £329,673 at the end of the 2020/21 financial year.
At 30th June 2021 total funds were £393,117 of which £75,364 were restricted and £56,500 were designated, leaving free reserves of £261,253.
8
Funds have been designated to 2021/22 for the purpose of supporting the implementation of our updated five year strategic plan (2021-2026). All designated funds are expected to be spent in full in the financial year 2021/22.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees are committed to ongoing risk management for the charity and its resources, including the monitoring of the charity’s financial position and management accounts. As a charity working with young people, a key priority is safeguarding. We have a safeguarding risk register on which staff record all safeguarding concerns, which are regularly reviewed by the Trustees. All staff are trained in our safeguarding policy and procedures and must sign to confirm agreement.
GOING CONCERN
The trustees have reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue for the foreseeable future, with the projected retention and growth of our partnerships and supporters. The board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
STRATEGIC REVIEW
Since our founding in 2013, we have worked with over 6,000 young people across a range of ages and abilities.
We have recently completed a strategic review of our work and impact to date to consider how we achieve transformational long-term impact for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our new strategy will focus on empowering lower-attaining, disadvantaged 14-16 year-olds to achieve high-quality post-16 education or training destinations, which will open doors to higher level learning and secure, fulfilling employment.
We will extend and develop our programme to address a series of pitfalls often encountered by lower-attaining, disadvantaged young people, who often face a complex post-16 transition away from their secondary school and are in need of additional guidance to make a positive next step.
We are committed to equipping disadvantaged young people to realise their potential and to breaking the cycles of poverty that exist in our society.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
In order to achieve ambitious long-term impact over the next five years, we will prioritise the following five strategic areas:
- Monitoring, Evaluation and Research
How we use quantitative and qualitative data to inform programme development and measure the extent of our programme’s impact for young people in the short and long term.
- Programme Design and Development
How we develop new provision focused on supporting young people through the post-16 selection, application and enrolment process, and optimise our career coaching sessions.
- Programme Delivery
How we develop systems, processes, people and actions to maximise the quality, efficiency and consistency of programme delivery.
- Sustainability
How we build long-lasting relationships with a diverse range of partners and supporters who are committed to empowering young people on their career journey.
- Operations
How we develop the charity’s people, processes and technology to carry out our work effectively and efficiently as a motivated team.

Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
