Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The HL Foundation’s main activities are fundraising for our Charity of the Year. In 2023, our Charity of the Year was FearFree, a charity working to break the cycle of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking across the Southwest of England. The HL Foundation raised over £46,000 from colleagues in 2023. Just under £15,000 came from a number of lotteries held throughout 2023, of which just under £7000 came from the December Christmas lottery where HL senior leadership donate some fantastic prizes. £20,000 was raised by a number of other events and appeals. These included: • Bristol Half Marathon and 10k – Bristol’s running event. The cost

of HL colleagues entering was
covered by HL plc and colleagues
who ran were asked to fundraise
or donate at least £25.
• Break the Cycle – Bristol Sport
Foundation’s annual fundraiser.
This offers colleagues three
cycling routes of varying
challenge.
• 16 Days Challenge from 25th
November to 10th December – A
period of 16 days of activism
against gender-based violence,
an annual international campaign
connected to our COTY FearFree,
where we aimed to make over
£5000 by conducting various
fundraising initiatives linked to
the number 16 (such as cycling
16km), collecting donations and
encouraging colleagues to do
their own fundraisers.
• Miscellaneous events – there
were also a number of other
small events such as bake sales,
Christmas craft stalls and netball
and tennis tournaments which
contributed to our fundraising
total for the year.
The remaining amount came from
initiatives such as Payroll Giving where
colleagues choose to donate a portion
of their salary each month. This raised
just under £12,000 in 2023.
As well as fundraising, the Trustees had
a strategic review of the HL Foundation
and what we want to achieve. We
developed a new strategy, to be
launched in 2024, to broaden the
Foundation’s reach and deepen its
impact by supporting and distributing
funds across two local charities in
addition to our national partner. We
decided to move from supporting a
charity for only one year to a 2-3 year
timeframe for the benefit of the
Foundation as well as the charities. The
HL Foundation continues to align with
HL plc’s Responsible Business strategy
which is focused on improving financial
resilience in the community and so all
three charities must continue to have a
strong link to financial education and
resilience.

Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees	Para 1.25	The Foundation needs a mix of skills and experience amongst its trustees and so it is essential for the Board to identify potential new trustees and plan for trustee succession to ensure continuity on the Board. Appointed trustees for the Foundation may be drawn from a number of different sources: from its stakeholders, by advertisement or by way of personal recommendation. Nominated trustees shall most likely be employees or otherwise connected with Hargreaves Lansdown plc. Under the Constitution, no individual may be appointed as trustee if they are disqualified from acting as a charity trustee by virtue of sections 178-180 of the Charities Act 2011, if they are under 16 years of age or if they have not accepted the office of charity trustee. Irrespective of how potential trustees are identified, the trustees must ensure that: 1. Their skills fit with the trustees’ requirements in the short and longer term; 2. They are not disqualified from acting as a company director or charity trustee; and 3. The new trustee understands the responsibility he or she is taking on and consents to act.
