Page 1
## **Public Benefit**
HEAR provides public benefit by promoting equality and human rights for the benefit of Londoners and by promoting the use of equality resources to charitable and non-charitable bodies that support Londoners.
## **HEAR’s Activity and Work 2022-23**
HEAR's work during 2022-2023 was related to engaging in cross-sectoral structures created to strengthen London’s recovery from the Covid 19 emergency, and respond to the cost of living crisis.
As part of its charitable aims and objectives HEAR was able to continue support in the following ways:
1. **Connecting members** with each other, through email bulletins, online events, and one-to-one connections. This enabled them to support each other and serve their beneficiaries more effectively .Examples include promoting member campaigns, enabling members to join other networks important for their work, providing evidence of lived experience to build solidarity, and facilitating members to take advantage of free training and support, for example to build a new website for their group. Examples of members campaigns include publicising the Mind petition on the cost of living crisis and mental health, the Disability Poverty Campaign Group (includes Inclusion London and Disability Rights UK) and the British Institute of Human Rights 'Protect Our Human Rights' campaign, the Roma Support Group campaign to support Roma Ukrainians, the Faiths Forum for London campaign to raise awareness of organ donation amongst different faith communities. Examples of promoting members work include, National Hate Crime Awareness Week (17-24-30) and London Challenge Poverty Week (4 in 10)
2. **Enabling member priorities,** concerns, and insights to reach and influence statutory colleagues and policy and governance structures within sectors such as the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Public Health; embedding equality and intersectional approaches within these mechanisms; providing a conduit for information from statutory colleagues to reach HEAR members, including on funding and important public health and other information and messages. Examples of these include: For voter registration campaign information to be available in diverse community languages and BSL. Linking different initiatives across the system that resulted in one of HEAR’s members being commissioned to lead on developing anti-racist practice in the health sector.
3. **A Collective Voice for Equality** -with HEAR’s membership worked with the Mayor’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group, the London Health Equity Group, London Recovery Task Force, Digital Exclusion Task Force, Engagement Collaborative, London Office of Technology and Innovation, London Assembly, Office for National Statistics, Home Office, with the Deputy Mayor, statutory and voluntary sector colleagues, to be a collective voice in embedding equalities in decision and policy making.
## **This resulted in influencing the below London wide strategies and impact:**
## **3.1 Health Equality:**
HEAR members contributing to the Mayor’s Health Inequality Strategy development and implementation, particularly on the relationship between the cost of living crisis and health inequalities, and the impact of digital exclusion on access to health services. This included participation by HEAR, and members, in the Health Inequality Strategy Cost Of Living workshop. HEAR also organised an event where members, particularly grass roots groups and people with lived experience, were able to meet directly with members of the GLA health team to voice concerns and priorities around health inequality. HEAR, and members, also contributed to London Health Assembly work on access to health care for trans and gender diverse Londoners **.** HEAR has worked with decision and policy makers to identify and tackle structural racism within the health system, including active involvement in the development of the Anti Racism Hub.
## **3.2 Building Strong Communities:**
HEAR, and members, contributed to the development of the Building a Fairer City Action Plan, particularly around digital inclusion, trust, engagement and participation.
## **3.3: Equality in Planning and Development:**
HEAR and members gave evidence to the London Assembly Planning and Regeneration Committee Equalities Inquiry.
_**“** Many thanks for attending the meeting of the London Assembly’s Planning and Regeneration Committee on 7 September 2022 to discuss what London needs from the upcoming review of the London Plan and from the wider planning system. The Committee found your contributions really insightful, and we were grateful for your time and expertise.” Chair of London Assembly Planning and Regeneration Committee_

## **3.4 Digital Poverty:**
HEAR continued to campaign with Age UK London, and other members, around digital poverty and exclusion. This helped to shape the Get Online London programme with the London Office of Technology and Innovation and the Good Things Foundation. The campaign on digital poverty resulted in widening access to social tariffs for broadband and phone.
## **3.5 Equalities Data:**
HEAR, and members, contributed to the review of the Office for National Statistics ethnicity data to help ensure that the categories reflect good practice and equalities principles and to meet the needs of the voluntary sector, and the communities they support.
## **3.6 Disabled asylum seekers:**
HEAR continued, with other voluntary sector colleagues, to advocate for improvements in the support received by disabled asylum seekers and those with long term health conditions. Success has included improvements in training for advisers and caseworkers at Migrant Help, and improvements to systems for signposting and referrals _._
## _**4.**_ **Partnerships and Collaboration**
HEAR continued to work closely with the following partners:
**4.1 Just Space** , on the Community Led Recovery Plan advocating for members’ needs related to digital poverty and inclusion. In the plan evidence was drawn from the results of the Covid 19 member research project, which highlighted the importance of social infrastructure, such as libraries and community centres, as access points for digital inclusion particularly during the pandemic. Evidence was then taken to the London Assembly and to the London Health Equity Group.
**4.2 London Plus** , on a range of equality topics, including working one to one with several Councils for Voluntary Service (CVS) to look at equality issues. This included equalities partnership work in the London Borough of Greenwich and supporting inclusive volunteering in Westminster.
**4.3 the Office for National Statistics** , helping to improve a wider understanding of how census data can support equalities work in London
**4.4 Led by Superhighways,** Hear worked on two projects **:** The second phase of Datawise London, funded by City Bridge Foundation, supports the voluntary sector, particularly smaller groups, to use data better to support their work, and Digital Foundations, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, which supports small charities with the use of technical and digital tools. This has led to HEAR members accessing free training and support through both projects.
**4.5 the Race Equality Foundation and Flourishing lives** , and others, to deliver a project to support Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community inclusion in the arts, to promote health and well-being.This has enabled arts institutions and health and well-being services to be more inclusive and understand the barriers faced by people from racially minoritised groups, through hearing directly from those with lived experience.
**4.6 the Community Development in Health Community of Practice Planning Group,** HEAR contributing to its continuation, and growth, through further commissioning by the GLA, and working to build an active cross-sectoral network of those working for health equality in London through community development.
**4.7** HEAR maintained its Associate Membership of Equally Ours.
## _**5.**_ **Project Work:**
## **5.1** _**S**_ **tronger Voices:**
Funded by Trust for London, HEAR continued to contribute to joint community and voluntary sector work to improve asylum process outcomes for disabled asylum seekers. This resulted in the Home Office continuing to improve staff training on the referral and signposting of people in the asylum system that are disabled or have long term health problems.
The Stronger Voices project included facilitating joint campaigning by members around digital exclusion, particularly on digital poverty. Members met and shared learning and expertise through the London Digital Inclusion Network. A significant output of this was the production, by members, of a series of campaign videos highlighting the diversity of digital exclusion and digital poverty. The project was supported, with technical expertise, by Superhighways. HEAR members gained increased confidence through producing campaign tools and learning new skills which they could then use in other areas of their lives including work. The collection of videos are shared through the HEAR website, HEAR’s You tube channel and the wider network.

This year also supported work to enable members to produce audio and video, on lived experience of the cost of living crisis.
_“I'd like to take a moment to thank you for inviting our group to the video project, believing in our ability to deliver an output and supporting me all along in the communication and collaboration. Tears of joy followed the completion of the task! Who would have believed that from us two years ago!”(Video project participant)_
The project coordinated members work related to the cost of living crisis, including the distribution of free sims and data and information leaflets for support and help.
## **5.2 Bridging Divides:**
Funded by City Bridge Trust, HEAR continued to bridge divides between member organisations, particularly small grassroots, marginalised organisations and communities and decision and policy makers, the results of which can be read throughout this report.
_“It was great to read more about the different networking and influencing opportunities the organisation has been part of over the last year. It’s particularly good to learn more about how smaller equality focussed organisations and people with lived experience have been able to meet with key decision-makers/stakeholders to discuss some of the issues they are working on."_ City Bridge Foundation Grants Manager February 2023

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
