## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED: 30 June 2021 

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2021. 

At the time of writing this report we are continuing to deal with the fallout from the Covid 19 pandemic which has had a significant impact on the services the charity has been able to deliver in recent months and years. 

We continue to deliver some of our “Transition to Work” services digitally and remotely to service users. The situation has been continuously monitored and reviewed with our partner charities as Covid19 restrictions have been eased in the early part of 2022. Currently the offices of our partner charities are operating a hybrid working model with certain staff continuing to work from home. Our priority remains that of ensuring that all those with whom we connect stay safe and healthy and follow the appropriate Government advice. 

Throughout the year under review and to date the Ecovis London Foundation charity has continued to deliver much needed services in developing our charitable partnerships with other charities, namely Thames Reach (www.thamesreach.org.uk) and The House of St Barnabas (www.hosb.org.uk) in taking forward our **“Transition to Work”** Programs as we hopefully exit the COVID19 era **.** 

We would like you to continue to support us in our crucial work so please read on and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us. 

Funding is made in accordance with Charity law having due regard to our constitution and for the public benefit. In making funding to our homeless **“Transition to Work”** projects, we endeavour to reflect the wishes of our donors, while adhering to our constitution, by directing funds towards alleviating homelessness, our key area of focus since our establishment in 2016, and in line with the Charity’s founding Vision and overall Mission. 

Funding continues to remain a challenge and especially so given the recent Covid 19 pandemic which has had a severe negative impact on the fundraising abilities of the majority of UK charities. The charity has, unfortunately, had to again its bi-annual gala fundraising dinner and hopes to reschedule this at some point in 2022. 

During the 2020/21 year, core funding of £15,000 has been received from Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP as well as an additional £4,000 from Ecovis & Friends in Germany. These funds have continued to support the expansion of our **“Transition to Work”** projects. We deliver these projects in conjunction with our partner charities, Thames Reach (Charity No: 1166311) and the House of St Barnabas (Charity no: 207242). 

When considering where to focus our attention our Board of Trustees has regard to the charity’s constitution, original vision and aims as well as the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and what this means for the Ecovis London Foundation charity and the local homeless community we seek to serve.

## **Vision, Objects and Activities** 

## **Our Vision** 

Our Vision is focused on the local homeless community we serve. 

We aim to ensure that those vulnerable adults in need within the sectors we operate will have real tangible support and access to the opportunities they need to develop. 

We help vulnerable adults to thrive and have mutually supportive relationships while being able to access the tools that help alleviate disadvantage. In supporting individuals in partnership with other homeless charities the Ecovis London Foundation charity continues to evolve and grow. 

## **Our Objects** 

“ _The relief of those in need, by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by such charitable means as the trustees shall from time to time determine. Other disadvantage arises typically where a hardship need is not currently met by the Department of Work and Pensions and current social care funds”.  (London)_ 

## **What we have Achieved** 

- Active pursuit of our Vision and development of initiatives to bring our Objects to life. 

- The continuing enhancement and practical rollout of our “Transition to Work” and “Step Up” & “Better to Work” initiatives and projects, activities and outcomes, including the adaptation of these to online delivery capability and social distancing requirements as appropriate. such that we have been able to continue to support homeless individuals throughout the Covid 19 pandemic and thereafter. 

- Ongoing working closely with our chosen Charity partners, Thames Reach and The House of St Barnabas, despite restrictions imposed by the pandemic, in developing partnership projects aimed at supporting individuals in returning to the workplace. 

- Continuing to develop wider relationships with a number of potential partners across the wider business community with a view to taking forward a number of initiatives which can provide a sustainable level of support for its work going forward. 

Ecovis London Foundation (ELF) have developed and facilitated a range of **“Transition to Work”** programs, developed and delivered CV employment workshops and other back to employment initiatives, including our **“Step Up”** and **“Better to Work”** initiatives. These services are focused on vulnerable adults who find themselves excluded from other mainstream services due to a number of factors including long term homelessness and unemployment. These projects and initiatives seek to alleviate poverty and support those seeking career advancement opportunities and the London living wage.

Our projects continue to be oversubscribed and funding continues to be a challenge to enable the Charity to achieve its full potential. 

The feedback from our partner charities is that we provide much needed valuable services that are person centred and puts the service user and their individual needs first and foremost. 

Feedback also from service users has been invaluable in helping to shape our services to their needs. 

Since our inception we have been successful in securing work placements for vulnerable adults from both Thames Reach, House of St Barnabas and Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP. The Ecovis London Foundation will continue to roll out these **“Transition to Work”** work placement programs with our charitable partners in the future as Covid19 restrictions are eased and lifted. 

A key part of this programme is to broaden participation through identifying other suitable candidate companies, public bodies and organisations through the various Job Fairs we have participated on. 

The Ecovis London Foundation has provided all the training personnel and volunteers, all materials required for all the projects, workshops and further support initiatives. 

All of our projects and initiatives have been delivered within our annual funding budget of £15,000 funding from Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP. 

The Ecovis London Foundation will continue to develop our “Better to Work” project, with The House of St Barnabas later in 2021/22. This is being coordinated by the Independent Director of the Charity, David Whelan and HOSB. 

## **Ecovis Wingrave Yeats internal employee engagement** 

We are grateful for the additional support from Ecovis Wingrave Yeats in accommodating the need for employee volunteers for some of our Transition to Work projects. 

The company has provided a number of employee volunteers in previous years to participate and facilitate the delivery of our projects and workshops. In addition, company employees have throughout the Covid19 pandemic organized a number of non-monetary fundraising activities for the benefit of the Foundation, including clothes collections and putting together much needed Christma food/hamper boxes for the vulnerable clients of our chosen charities. The company has also throughout the year continued to donate many refurbished laptops to support ELF and homeless clients participate on the online projects. 

We are very grateful for the support we have received and would like to thank all of the Ecovis Wingrave Yeats partners and employees who have supported the charity since 2016. 

## **Fund Raising** 

The Foundation’s primary and core funding has been received from Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP, who have supported all the **“Transition to Work”** and **“Better to Work”** program costs and are committed to supporting the Foundation’s objectives and aims with our chosen Charities. As per the memorandum of understanding between the organisations the Ecovis Wingrave Yeats partnership determines funding annually. 

5 




Given the success of the original gala dinner in support of the charity in 2017 we hope to organise further gala dinners and other fundraising initiatives, which were put on hold during the pandemic, in support of the charity. 

We would like to thank all our previous donors and sponsors who have donated funds to Ecovis London Foundation to date and especially the Partners of Ecovis Wingrave Yeats LLP for providing core funding to the charity. 

This has enabled the charity to continue and enhance the delivery of our community based work ready projects and expand the **“Transition to Work”** and **“Better to Work”** programs to adults in the local homeless community. 

## **Internal Ecovis Wingrave Yeats and External Volunteers** 

The Trustees would like to pay tribute to all our volunteers for their time, support and commitment. 

We would especially like to thank Mr Danny West who had kindly supported the Director of the Charity since the onset of Covid19 in the delivery of the socially distanced and online **“Transition to Work** ” projects at the House of St Barnabas. Danny’s experience and support has been invaluable. 

The charity has a volunteering policy and procedures in place for all volunteers, including Ecovis employees, who have allocated their company time to the charity with the full support of the Ecovis Wingrave Yeats partnership. 

Training and induction is provided for all volunteers and this is undertaken by the Charity’s Independent Director. During the year we have also enlisted the services of additional volunteers and external qualified trainers due to increased workload and to reduce the foundation’s dependency on one source for our volunteers. 

## **Looking to the Future – Our Strategy** 

Our future plans for the Charity is to remain wholly committed to the homeless sector and to roll out our **“Work Ready”** and **“Transition to Work”** projects and initiatives across the wider local community. We will also seek to widen our involvement with the local business community to help support and deliver our initiatives and projects, through the development of partnerships with other charitable and private sector organisations. 

The success of the work ready program is becoming more widely known and the charity has been approached by a number of other organisations seeking our help and support. We have also undertaken and participated in other initiatives such as Job Fairs with other private companies and public sector bodies.  As the Covid19 era recedes the Charity will continue to explore the steps we can take to enhance and expand our offering in conjunction with our partner Charities. 

We are committed to seeking additional sources of corporate funding streams and other funding sources. We will be looking at external fundraising solutions including the appointment of an experienced part-time fund raiser to support this. 

It is important that as we evolve we remain independent and sustainable. The Charity is especially interested in local community initiatives that are sustainable, measureable and can deliver direct tangible benefits to those in need.

**In partnership with Thames Reach & The House of St Barnabas we have continued to delivered our “Transition to Work” and “Better to Work” projects” within the homeless community throughout the Covid19 pandemic and since 2016.** 

**We have delivered a number of socially distanced CV workshops for HOSB and 1-1 followup person centered sessions socially distanced and online for approximately 76 clients referred from both charities in 2020-2021 in line with Covid19 restrictions.** 

## **Two Cases studies and some client feedback from the charities clients** 

**David Whelan was helpful. He encouraged me to contact him regarding the CV revision if necessary. He is knowledgeable about recruitment related matters and tips. My CV had really improved from when I first came to request one** 



“ **I found David very easy to speak to. I had been very anxious about my current CV as I had some gaps in employment and had several jobs where I had only worked for a short time. David talked through these issues and afterwards I felt more confident and able to present this information. David edited and reworded my CV, and the final draft was much clearer and professional”** 

## **Case Study 1** 

Client referred to Ecovis London Foundation (ELF) in October 2021 from Thamesreach Employment Academy staff for 1-1 CV compiling support. Client has not been in work for many years due to a number of issues. The client had a very good previous employment history and with the support and expertise of ELF staff they formulated and collated a CV and following further support by ELF staff providing interview skills and technique in preparation of a possible job interview the client felt confident enough to apply for position in January 2022. They contacted ELF to say that they were delighted that due to the high quality CV that had been produced that they had progressed through the initial 2 stages of the recruitment process and were waiting to hear if they had made the final stage interview. The client sent a personal email to thank the Director of Ecovis London Foundation for all their help and support.

**Feedback from Thamesreach clients who received food hampers this year from the Ecovis London Foundation !! (Quotes feedback and kindly provided by the clients of Thamesreach)** 


**“Yes, it was a lot of stuff and I still have a lot of stuff; it was more than enough for one person. I was unsure if I was going to be able to buy food this Christmas as things were really tight. I really enjoyed all the food but my favourite was the biscuits-but everything was lovely and very high quality”** 

**The quality of goods in the hamper was extraordinary, really far out ,really high end products from places like Marks and Spencer! There were really useful and practical things like for breakfast and lunch and even snacks and it also included a Christmas cake which was really nice!"** 

**“I cannot thank Ecovis enough, I am extremely grateful.!!! My son and I were fighting over the Oreos”!!!!** 

**”Was good stuff, until now still eating it (as at 12/01/2021), was different types of food, all meet my needs So Much so much I appreciate it and then the offer came. Then it was actually delivered too; so much appreciation”** 

9 



**"Money was really tight this year so I really welcomed the hamper,  I did not know what to expect.  The lovely Guy helped to take it up to my flat as I have problems with dexterity and problems with my fingers”.** 


**“This made a massive difference to me and my daughters life because it really helped me to use the little bit of money I had to be able to spend on other necessary things”** 

**My prayers have been answered God Bless you- Joy** 

**Thank You so much this will really help me**

Ecovis London Foundation and The House of St. Barnabas (charity no: 207242) 

## **Overview and Partnership Report** 

Ecovis London Foundation (ELF)  and The House of St. Barnabas, Employment Academy have been working together for over 4 years now .  The relationship and partnership has grown stronger and has been very beneficial to all Participants of the Employment Academy Employment Preparation Programme. 

David Whelan and Danny West of  Ecovis London Foundation have given excellent CV workshop (to the whole group) and CV one to one support and they have also been supported on most Programmes previously prior to Covid19 pandemic by Ecovis employee volunteers who have previously helped on the CV workshops. 

## **Project Delivery Employment Preparation Programme (EPP)** 

The EPP either runs for eight or ten weeks, but EPP17, which was run during the Covid Pandemic, ran for six weeks.  The Programme focuses on three areas: Personal Leadership, Practical Work Skills and Getting and Keeping work. Participants need to attend a recruitment day before being offered the opportunity to join the Programme.  Referrals are requested from support agencies if appropriate. 

The Programme consists of training and work-experience, and Participants work towards City and Guilds Certification in either Hospitality or Business Administration.  All training and work-experience takes place on site at The House of St. Barnabas.  There is a special Graduation Ceremony after the Programme has ended and Graduates are then supported for a year by the Progression Team and mentors. 

In 2020, Ecovis delivered two socially distanced CV workshops with Participants on the Programme.  A number of these Participants did not have CV’s or had not updated their CV for some time, and some did not feel confident about the strength of their CV. Some had Literacy/Language issues and some had other communication issues which they were working to improve. 

David, Danny and the volunteers all work in a relaxed, but professional manner and are very good at making the Participants feel at ease. The CV sessions are well structured and pitched at the right level taking account of various abilities and experience within such a diverse range and experience of individuals. 

## **Ecovis CV training workshops** 

All the materials and resources for the CV workshops are provided by Ecovis London Foundation.  David and Danny deliver bespoke CV training and use their experience and expertise to work holistically with clients.  This is invaluable training for our Participants as it ensures a consistent approach reflecting the support they have already engaged with while on the Programme. 

## **One to one support, CV building and Interview presentation skills** 

David and Danny give outstanding one to one support with Participants.  This has continued to be very successful and has ensured that momentum has been kept after the initial meetings.  Participants respond very well to their support and feel that they are honest, empathic and professional. 

11 



## **EPP17. The first Programme to be run during the Covid 19 Pandemic** 

David and Danny worked with the Employment Academy team to secure changes on this Programme due to Covid 19 restrictions.  David and Danny worked with Zoom or by WhatsApp phone to run the CV one to one’s and even with things being done remotely, they still managed to connect with the individuals and reach the outcomes wanted. **Below is some feedback from the Participants on EPP17:** 

‘I felt very comfortable discussing my CV’ ‘They made it very easy to understand and took a lot of the fear away for me’ ‘My CV now looks professional and I feel ready to send it out’ 

## **Comment from Brian Beaton – The Programme and Employment Manager @ HOSB** 

It is always a pleasure working with David and Danny.  They are down to earth and always connect well with our Participants.  The level of expertise that is offered by the Ecovis London Foundation, greatly enhances the quality of the support that we can deliver.  The way support is delivered to our Participants is so important to us, which is why we are proud and happy to be in partnership with Ecovis London Foundation .

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011. Ecovis London Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. 

## **1.2 Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. 

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. 

## **1.3 Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
