ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees present their annual report and the financial statements of the Ardonagh Community Trust (the “Charity” or “ACT”) for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (“FRS”) applicable in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

These include education, healthcare, community development, arts, culture, heritage, science, amateur sport, environmental protection or improvement, the relief of those in financial hardship, animal welfare, promotion of the efficiency of the armed forces, police, fire and rescue services or ambulance services and any other charitable objectives within the legal meaning of the term as the Trustees shall from time to time in their absolute discretion determine.

ACT’s strategic geographical focus remains the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Jersey, however as The Ardonagh Group continues to grow across the globe, we will look to support causes where in the communities our colleagues live and work within.

Our values

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

To achieve these objectives, the ACT Trustees have created two funding programmes, which are:

Community grants

Since the launch of the ACT in 2017, significant progress has been made towards its mission of helping local communities become better, brighter, and stronger. Through its community grant programme, match funding the efforts of Ardonagh employees and via the charity partnership with Mind.

ACT’s quarterly community grant programme awards projects submitted by employees from across all Ardonagh businesses with up to £5,000 of funding. In 2021, Trustees were committed to continue to increase the number of grants awarded. Giving via this stream of funding closed at 35 projects supported at a total of £153,315.31 (with Q4 applicants chosen and paid in January 2022) - the highest since the programme began.

Match funding

Open to any employees of a Group company, who are eligible to receive one successful match fund donation per calendar year. If employees are completing the activity as a group, they will be match funded up to £500 per employee, this was increased to further support our colleagues in their giving. This also applies for multiple colleagues e.g., a team of four employees taking part in a group fundraising challenge would be entitled to up to £2,000 collectively. Office wide fundraising activities are not eligible, however the opportunity to fundraise as an entire office is encouraged through our annual event, Give Back Day where we match the total raised.

Volunteers

ACT is managed on a day-to-day basis by employees of the Group, listed below, on a part time and an entirely voluntary basis:

• Ashley Hammond (main)

• Kelly-Ann Knight (strategic support)

• Hayley Robertson (strategic support)

• Wen Kueh (legal support)

Achievements and performance

Review of development activities

ACT was established on 10 October 2017 with the overarching aim of using the collective power of the Group to help local communities to become better, brighter, and stronger. Trustees are satisfied with the continued achievements of ACT in its fourth year of operation and three criteria have been put in place to help measure the performance of ACT’s activities:

1. Impact on local communities (see below).

2. Number of community projects supported and completed in relation to the charitable objectives submitted to the Charity Commission (see charitable activities under note 4 on pages 14 to 21); and

3. Progress in mental health awareness (see Mental health note on page 4).

Local Community Impact

ACT’s impact on the local communities important to the people of the Group has been a highlight of the fourth year of operation. By 31 December 2021, 35 applicants from throughout the year were granted £153,315.31 (2020: £133,135) of funding across 35 projects (2020: 30 projects). These included support for; a number of mental health groups to improve their outreach in communities often reluctant to seek help, upgrading facilities at a rebound therapy centre for young people with disabilities, resources to support sports clubs to be more inclusive in their localities and improving services for those in hospice care and their families. The commitment is to continue to offer more projects and more funding into 2022 and beyond. Alongside the community grants, ACT boosts the giving of colleagues through match funding of up to £500. Through the match funding programme, £103,995.25 (2020: £39,955.99) was raised for 63 individual charities (2020: 34) with ACT contributing a further £52,425.59 (2020: £14,459.78).

On top of this contribution, the focus of ACT’s annual fundraising event – Give Back Day – was shifted away from fundraising for the charity itself and instead all offices are now encouraged to choose a local charity to fundraise for on a specific day, with ACT matching that amount. Over £160,000 (2020: over £146,000), including match funding was donated to 72 individual charities across the globe – as chosen by Ardonagh colleagues.

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Mental Health

ACT’s commitment to championing mental health originated with the beginning of the Trust. It first manifested through a charity partnership with Mind in 2018 to raise funds, awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. The partnership with Mind was fulfilled in February 2021, with a grand total of £200,000 donated.

We are continuing the commitment to mental health as a central cause through our latest partnership with Samaritans which commenced in May 2021. Throughout the year, we’ve educated colleagues on the support they provide to people struggling to cope and raised circa £89,000 for them by year end. The partnership is contracted until the end of 2022 at which point the Trustees will review, however the commitment to mental health as a collective cause is something we at ACT are committed to.

Alongside our charitable commitment, through Ardonagh we also support the development of our colleagues understanding of mental health and support for those in need through our mental health first aider training (MHFA). Since the start of the programme over 173 colleagues have been trained as MHFAs with a further 705 benefitting from face-to-face awareness training – with more to come in 2022.

Reflecting on the ongoing impact of the pandemic, the commitment to supporting mental health has never been more important. Because of this, our mental health training programme and network of First Aiders will continue to grow alongside the new partnership with Samaritans showing a strong commitment to being there for those in need.

Financial review

Review of financial performance

ACT’s overall objectives in relation to fundraising were to maximise the amount of voluntary income raised and to ensure that we did so at a minimum cost: income ratio. Cost to income ratio has increased from 0.9% in 2020 to 10.4% in 2021 and this is mainly due to the staging cost £19k incurred to raise the funds.

ACT’s total income for the year was £173,164 (2020: £736,775). During the year, ACT’s spending on charitable activities was £562,327 (2020: £234,742), on support costs £4,432 (2020: £4,979) and on other costs of raising funds £18,697 (2020: £477). Net expenditure for the year was £412,392 (2020: net income £496,576) and this amount was carried forward for next year plans.

The Trustees are satisfied with the level of funding raised and allocated to projects which has helped ACT meet its objectives of helping local communities become better, brighter, and stronger.

Reserves policy

The Trustees recognise the need to have Unrestricted Fund reserves in place to ensure the continuation of our work in the event of an unforeseen downturn. This is particularly true for a young charity like ACT, which is going through a year of growth, where reliable income streams are being established. Trustees are also conscious of the need to balance the necessity for reserves with our efforts to provide value for money and maximise the resources available for our programmes. To this end, we aim to achieve adequate reserves to cover basic activities, meaning unrestricted designated reserve funds of up to £15,000.

Currently, reserves within ACT are £290,156 (2020: £702,548). This is due to several planned projects not yet requiring funding. During 2021 ACT will work with all projects to ensure the money is allocated and reserve levels are brought in line with the policy. The current level of Unrestricted Funds is £277,891 (2020: £690,183), out of which £15,000 was transferred to a designated reserve fund. At the end of 31 December 2021, the level of Restricted Funds is £12,265 (2020: £12,365).

Principal risks and uncertainties

Financial risk

ACT has two main forms of fund generation:

1. Annual donation from the Group; and

2. Fundraising through the support of employees and friends of the Group.

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Both have a reliance on the Group. Owing to this, any factor impacting the Group could have a direct impact on ACT as a going concern. The Trustees have adopted a safe and cautious strategy in all areas of our work and the following has been put in place:

• the Group has agreed a two-year donation plan.

• Trustees have put in place two additional regular funding streams – a regular gala and golfing event

• Regular monitoring of cash flows against risk appetite.

• Proactive management of plans; and

• Increased focus on the collection of donations from new Group companies.

Regulatory and legal risk

This is the risk of regulatory sanctions due to non-compliance with laws, regulations, and applicable administrative provisions. This risk is mitigated by having compliance monitoring programmes, financial statements and regulatory compliance being reviewed by the financial accountants of the Group and independent examination by an external accountant.

Reputation risk

ACT is extremely careful in selecting projects, partners, committee members and volunteers to protect the Charity’s reputation. This risk is mitigated by:

• Strictly following the guidelines given by the Charity Commission.

• Providing training to volunteers or members of staff.

• Funds only move through official channels and only after the approval of at least two Trustees; and

• An aid tracking system to trace aid up to the final beneficiary level.

General Data Protection Regulation

ACT’s computer systems store information about donation providers, some of which is sensitive personal data. Although the management has taken reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access to information stored in our databases and to ensure that our processing of personal data complies with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), ACT’s technology may, on occasion, fail to adequately secure the private information we maintain in our databases and protect it from theft or inadvertent loss. Our systems, and the wider public infrastructure they rely on, may also be subject to attack preventing use and disrupting business operations.

The Group has robust policies, business standards and control frameworks in place for both cyber security and data protection.

Operational risk

There is the risk of losses arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, from personnel and/or from external events. The ACT's activities depend on the ability of volunteers to collect donations, process transactions using secure information systems, storing, retrieving, processing, and managing information. Interruption or loss of information processing capabilities through loss of stored data, the failure of computer equipment or software systems, a telecommunications failure or other disruption could have a material adverse effect on operational activities. To mitigate these risks the ACT has certain disaster recovery procedures in place and insurance to protect against such contingencies.

Plans for future

The focus of ACT remains to support the communities that we live and work within to become better, brighter, and stronger. As The Ardonagh Group continues to grow, we are committed to ensuring that this support is available across the globe where the colleague footprint is, and we’ll work with our international teams to support community grant and match funding opportunities.

We’re also committed to the future of charitable causes. In 2021, we launched the ‘Bright Future Prize’ aimed at inspiring and empowering the next generation of community leaders, aged 15-19, across the UK and Ireland. £20,000 was given to ‘Dawn to the Light’ a trio of 16/17 year olds in Manchester who will use the funds to create a video game to support young people in understanding their own mental health and learn coping strategies to help them in their day-to-day lives.

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

In 2022, we will return with £40,000 to give away across four categories, meaning a £10k prize for each of the below:

• Your community

Making a difference to the people around you.

This category is all about the people you share your world with – whether that’s a geographical area or a network of people you are connected to. Your cause or project might relate to a societal issue, health, wellbeing, education, or something else that is important to your community.

• Your planet

Protecting the environment and taking a stand against climate change.

This category is all about caring for the world we live in by looking after nature and the climate. Your cause or project might support green spaces, provide new ways to live sustainably, or something else that will ensure the Earth will have a bright future.

• Your vision

Driving positive change through entrepreneurship or innovation.

• This category is about creating new ways to bring about positive change. This might be a cause or project for an ethical business, a campaign, or something else that will enable a better way to live and engage with the world.

• Your passion Sharing your love for music, the arts or sport with more people.

This category is all about sharing your passion so that even more people can enjoy and benefit from it too. Your project or cause might improve access to those who are less able to take part, promote outreach and inclusivity, or something else that will bring what you love to more people in the community.

This year, we will also extend the age range from 13-19 and applications will be open to people from wherever The Ardonagh Group has a footprint.

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the Charity, which is an unincorporated Charitable Trust and a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The 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. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

The Trustees consider ACT to be a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts based on the following factors:

• Total unrestricted funds at the end of the current reporting year are £277,891.

• All proposed activities are in line with funding and cash flow levels.

• Continued support and funding from the Group.

• Future events set which will create additional funding.

The accounts are accordingly prepared on the Going Concern basis.

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

• the Charity becomes entitled to the resources.

• it is more likely than not that the Trustees will receive the resources; and

• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (Para 5.10 to 5.12 of FRS102 SORP).

Legacies are included in the SoFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached.

Support costs

Support costs have been allocated among management, finance, and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the Charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. The Charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Specific projects for which the Charity has allocated grants include:

Cancer Fund for Children – In September, Ardonagh's Director of Development and ACT Trustee Rory Best took on his Miles2Mayo challenge to raise funds for Cancer Fund for Children, walking 180 miles and raising now over €1,000,000 to help build a therapeutic centre in Co. Mayo for children with a cancer diagnosis and their families. Colleagues from across Arachas and Ardonagh supported this amazing feat and helped to contribute to an amazing total raised. ACT is proud to have played a part in that too with a donation of £150,000 to help boost the support to causes outside the UK - marking a moment for ACT as we ensure we're there for our colleagues and their communities across the Globe.

Samaritans – Our partnership launched in May 2021 kicking off with a generous donation of £25,000 from ACT. Since then, thanks to the help of our Ardonagh colleagues, almost £90,000 has been raised and donated. This has been achieved through a range of fundraising events and initiatives. From an epic Ride4Life from Doncaster to London raising £25,000, to online auctions, laptop sales, festive raffles, and support on Give Back Day. Every penny makes such a big difference. In fact, £90,000 is the equivalent to the amount it costs to respond to 18,000 calls for help or to train and recruit 450 new volunteers.

Mind – With our partnership at an end, ACT donated £41,854 to our original charity partner taking our total raised for them throughout the relationship to £200,000. We’re extremely proud of the strides made around or approach and attitude to mental health within the Ardonagh Group and this has no doubt been fuelled by this partnership. We will remain committed to supporting a common cause with mental health at the core of this throughout 2022.

Contact Theatre/ Dawn to The Light – Our Bright Future Prize winners, Demereece Green, Aaliyah Nesbeth and Ahtasham Akhtar are passionate about using the power of gaming to help young people care for their mental health. All three of have lived with their own mental health challenges and have seen first-hand the devastating impact that poor mental health can have on young people. In response to these challenges, they began searching for new ways to help young people to understand, talk about, and look after their own mental health. In 2019 they were each selected to take part in a project called The Agency - a youth enterprise project run by Contact Theatre in Manchester. During their time with The Agency, the trio worked together to develop the concept for an online game, Dawn to The Light. The game looks to educate young people about the importance of protecting their mental health and provides in game tools for coping with mental health challenges. With the £20,000 from ACT the trio can turn this into a reality and are working with games developers to create a demo that they can showcase to schools and universities and help young people in an effective way.

LauraLynn Irelands Children’s Hospice – Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice, provides palliative care to children with lifelimiting conditions and their families providing support from diagnosis, to end of life, and throughout bereavement with a range of practical, emotional, and medical care for the whole family. This was the biggest donation to a charity on Give Back Day, the team within the Arachas office raised a total of €24,235 of which £11,150 was donated by ACT.

Walthew House - offers a range of practical and emotional support services to help those with sight or hearing loss in Stockport and nationally, including 1-2-1's, advocacy support and an information helpdesk. The charity runs an exhibition called SeeHear every two years, a one-day event hosted for blind and deaf people from all over the UK. The exhibitors, of which there are around 30, offer a wide range of services and equipment that can be accessed by blind and deaf people to help them to live fulfilling lives. They also ensure the event is accessible for all who attend, including providing British Sign Language interpreters, sighted guides, and information in a variety of accessible formats, including braille, large print, audio, and CD for those who need it. ACT funded the full cost of the event, £7,200, for as soon as it can go ahead (Covid-19 permitting).

Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice - is a modern, pioneering children's hospice based in Huddersfield supporting families of babies and children with a life-limiting conditions from across West Yorkshire. The team primarily provides palliative care for babies and children while also supporting the whole family, recognising parents and siblings’ needs as equally important. Alongside the support they provide, the Hospice also runs enrichment exercises to help families participate in accessible activities, making memories and socialising with others. The total cost of their annual activities is £6,000 and the Trustees of ACT have approved the full amount to be funded.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Maddis Butterflies – aim to create smiles by providing small wishes and holidays for poorly children and their families. The charity was set up in the name of Madison Allen who at just 10 months old was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma. Throughout her treatment, she and her family fundraised for the Manchester Children's Hospital before sadly, Madison passed away in 2011 aged only 7. Her family decided to use their experience to help families with children who suffer from similar issues. With the impact of the pandemic, fundraising efforts have been hampered, however they’ve continued to support those in need, more recently with 'Smile Bags' which contain goodies for children who are undergoing cancer treatment and £5,350 from ACT will ensure that 100 children who are isolating to stay safe during their treatment receive a bag to help let them know they are important and cared for.

Marshfield Community Cook-Off – supports four charities in the USA: Marshfield Food Pantry, Marshfield FACTS, NCC Missions and McKinney Vento/Foster Care. The event raises funds which are distributed evenly across all these charities to support people in need in the local community where of our Accurisk offices is based in Massachusetts. As the headline sponsor and contribute to this event, Accurisk colleagues raised $23,000 and ACT supported with an additional donation to take them to $30,000.

Moodswings - provide mental health support to with the overall aim of helping people ‘living the best life they can with, or without, the symptoms of emotional distress’. They offer a free helpline and help individuals to have a better understanding of their symptoms, to train them to manage them and achieve the things they want in life regardless of their diagnosis. As a self-funded project, Covid-19 has had a huge impact on their ability to fundraise but also a huge spike in demand for their services, and they are taking 50% more calls each week. The £5,025 grant from ACT will help them to open an online service offering and widen their reach. Jamie and his apartment block raised over £1,000 in total for Moodswings during the first lockdown and this additional grant will further help them achieve the goals of the project and help people in need throughout what is set to be a challenging winter.

The Gillen Brewer School – the son of a colleague , Lucas has language-based learning disabilities and attends the Gillen Brewer School in NYC. Their individualised approach and specialised teaching methods have equipped Lucas with the tools he needs to succeed. The £5,000 donation from ACT will help the school to continue to offer unique services such as integrated occupational, speech, and counselling therapy programs as well as helping to grow the Family Program, which provides opportunities to work side-by-side with staff on issues relevant to each family's needs and concerns.

Children on the Autistic Spectrum Parents Association - CASPA supports children and young adults on the Autistic spectrum in various ways, such as youth clubs and residential trips. It is a community where all children feel safe, secure, and included, enabling them to make friends. Additionally, it is a lifeline for parents with Autistic children, providing support in any form that is required - whether it be a coffee morning, a WhatsApp group, respite, or the knowledge that their child has a safe fun environment to play and socialise without judgement. Based in the London Borough of Bromley, they currently work with around 300 children and young people every week in various venues. Last year, they set up a café and the £5,000 grant from ACT will pay the rent for nine months, allowing them to ensure more of the income is used on the services they provide and will allow them to continue to go above and beyond for the children and their parents.

The Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) – as t he national charity for Oesophageal Cancer in Ireland, the OCF funds research and support for a disease that is difficult to diagnose, treat and live with. Thanks to research done to date, treatments have improved meaning timeframe for hospitalisation and recovery have improved greatly but more research is still needed. The OCF is solely funded through fundraising and with the impact of the pandemic still affecting donation streams it is harder than ever to reach this target. This £5,000 grant from ACT will help to take the project closer to its end of year target – with more fundraising to come - to support the project in continuing to deliver transformational outcomes.

ARDONAGH COMMUNITY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Candlelighters - provide financial and emotional support to children with cancer, and their families, through grants, events, and support for all the family. Sadly, this is something that Sarah has experienced first-hand with her son receiving a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma in May this year. The support they have received from Candlelighters as a family has been invaluable. Sarah says “It's been so good to be able to meet people who understand first-hand what we are going through as a family. Friends and family have been great but knowing you're not the only ones going through this and that what you're feeling is absolutely normal reassures you”. The £5,000 grant will support Candlelighters to host talking therapy sessions for all children for 5 months, providing vital mental health support and a space for children to work through their feelings, worries and anxieties.

The Kids Network - builds stronger, more connected communities that support can support all children to thrive. Addressing the twinned problems of accelerated gentrification next to stark inequality of wealth and opportunity, the charity works to connect children facing multiple challenges in their early lives, with a local hero who they extensively train and support to be their mentor. On a low-cost model that invests in the existing strengths in communities, £5,000 equates to 454 hours of oneto-one mentoring support over the course of the year and is crucial to the delivery of their work in the Hammersmith and Fulham community.

Bullies Out – is one of the projects submitted as part of our Bright Future Prize in 2021 and highly commended applicant Ed works closely with the anti-bullying charity as a youth ambassador. Following a period of severe bullying at school, Ed struggled with a lack of confidence and feelings of helplessness. It was only when Ed discovered the charity, BulliesOut that a process of healing began. Through the work at the charity, they aim to make schools and workplaces safer and free from bullying. The £5,000 funding means that the organisation can bolter its outreach work and that even more people, who are suffering from the effects of bullying, would be supported to find ways to change their lives for the better.

Northern Access Initiative – started by students Matt and Carter, two applicants for the Bright Future Prize, charity seeks to support and provide mentorship for students from the North, so that they can access places at top universities. Studies from the Sutton Trust have shown that the percentage of students attending Oxbridge from the North, or the Midlands is approximately half that of students from the South. The Northern Access Initiative attempts to bridge this gap, by connecting mentors from top universities to state school students from the North and Midlands, so that they have the resources and support they need to succeed in their applications. With £5,000 from ACT Northern Access Initiative can expand its outreach dramatically by enabling it to build its own website and online platform, where mentoring can take place.

Teenage Helpline - offers peer-to-peer mental health support for young adults in need, provided by a call-in service which is advertised on the Teenage Helpline website. The project funded by a £5,000 grant from ACT was to upgrade their IT infrastructure, provide training to their volunteers and support marketing costs so that their services reach their target audience and encourage them to get in contact for help and support.

Toby’s Recovery – Toby Morley suffered a traumatic brain injury following a serious assault aged just 18 and it was confirmed he had irreversible brain damage and life altering injuries which will likely be permanent. His family had the horrible news that he would likely never walk again, and he will probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, living with the neurological effects of the severe brain injury that he sustained from the violent assault he endured. In order to bring Toby home, the family needed to adapt their home and needed help to fulfil the costs of his additional care needs and therapy. £5,000 was donated by ACT to support the family in their efforts to bring him home.

Father Hudson’s Young at Heart Project - offers a range of services to combat social isolation faced by older people in and around North Staffordshire. The project runs friendship groups to befriend isolated older people and provide social opportunities. There are lunch clubs, social clubs, and outings, offering a wide range of activities for people to take part in – all of which improve their health and wellbeing. Due to the Covid pandemic the charity has had to redesign their services and move to a telephone befriending response to help those who are suffering loneliness and isolation at this time of emergency. With the world centred around digital communication, there are many who still don’t have access which has become apparent throughout the year and the charity are wanting to invest in technology and teach people how to use it. A £5,000 grant to help the charity kick-start their technology project, helping more older people keep connected.

Give India – in support of our IT partner Mphasis, £5,000 was donated via Give India to support them with Covid relief during the Delta variant. The projects were focused on helping fund ventilators and oxygen to help patients breathe as they battled Coid-19 and also donated food to families struggling with hunger in the second wave.

Manchester City of Sanctuary - is a small charity established in 2011 with a vision that every person seeking sanctuary feels part of a supportive community that understands and accepts them. Its mission is to make Manchester a welcoming place for refugees and asylum seekers and the team promote positive mental health and wellbeing through the delivery of a range of activities. With a grant of £5,000 from ACT, the charity provided a weekly fitness class for eight months, ensuring people’s physical and mental health is supported – especially as we ease out of lockdown.

Seren’s Wish Toy Appeal - based in Cheltenham, the appeal was first conceived by Seren (then aged 7) after she watched a programme that documented how not all children are lucky enough to get presents at Christmas. Inspired by Seren’s wish to make Christmas special for less fortunate children, mum Bethan started buying a monthly gift to give away at the end of the year. Following local press coverage, the project quickly grew, and soon hundreds of referrals came from local schools, social workers, and healthcare providers nominating children to receive a gift. The £5,000 provided by ACT will mean Seren's Wish can support even more children in 2021, by enabling an additional 100 Santa sacks to children in the local community, to bring some extra special joy at the end of the year.

Monson Swimming Club - a friendly, community based, competitive swimming club serving Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, and East Sussex. They provide Parent and Child water familiarisation classes, Learn to Swim following the Swim England framework, all the way through to high level training for competing at National Level. As an inclusive club for all abilities, they foster a strong sense of team, instil a love for the sport and appreciation for technical excellence. Support from donors is greatly needed to keep the club open and £5,000 from ACT supported them in fulfilling their funding for the year.

Scorchers Basketball Foundation - is the community arm of the Surrey Scorchers professional British Basketball League team, with the main aim of growing inclusive basketball participation across Surrey, Northeast Hampshire, and East Berkshire. The foundation run projects bringing people from all abilities and backgrounds together and improving lives through basketball. The £5,000 from ACT will allow the foundation to run Basketball4All Roadshows for five schools giving the children some great experiences, helping them increase their physical activity and show them the possibilities they have to achieve through confidence building.

Dinnington Resource Centre – is a self-funding charitable organisation which provides facilities for Dinnington and the surrounding area. It is also host to Dinnington Town FC which provides grass roots football for girls and boys from under 7’s to over 35’s. The future vision is not only to be a big ambassador for grass roots football but also for other community-based sports. Over the last 12 months, they have been fundraising the £25,000 needed so that the Football Foundation can facilitate the building of the pitch. After tireless work throughout last year, the Centre needed £5,000 to hit their target. The grant for the remaining amount from ACT will allow work to start in September. Not only will the all-year-round surface help promote the health and wellbeing of its local community members, following a challenging year this will give the community a muchneeded boost and facility they can be proud of.

Speed of Sight - is a charity that gives life changing driving experiences for people who have visually impairments or other disabilities. More than a driving experience, it gives people a chance to say yes, to wonder what else is possible and have the opportunity to be like everyone else. And it’s that last phrase, that Speed of Sight say is the most important thing that they bring to people because sometimes the greatest gift you can give a person is to simply include them. Their experiences take place nationwide at racing circuits, off road tracks or any venue with a large enough car park or area where a circuit can be created. Allan volunteers monthly and has seen first-hand the maintenance the vehicles need, and the potential impact on beneficiaries should this affect the operation of an event. With a £5,000 grant from ACT, the charity will be able to buy a fully kitted out mobile workshop to handle mechanical technical issues on the day and continue reaping the benefits to self-esteem, social interaction, and mental and physical wellbeing.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Cork ARC Cancer Support House – was established to provide a holistic centre in which people with cancer and their families can find free emotional support, practical help, and trust. Their aim is to provide therapies that complement the medical model and adhere to best practice, to make a difference to the lives of those affected by cancer. Although Covid-19 restrictions meant that ARC had to temporarily close their doors, they remained committed to providing on-line and phone support to tackle the isolation that this caused cancer patients and their families. A £5,000 grant from ACT, will be used to help them continue making a difference to cancer patients and their families, in particular to the cost of running their Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) group which provides people with coping skills as well as a much-valued network of fellow warriors and survivors to support one another on their journeys.

Barrel House Vipers - are a multi-generational, five-person jazz band performing songs from the 20's to the 40's who offer their musical talents to community centres and care homes to provide therapeutic and entertaining tea-dance and music sessions. The tea-dances provide a relaxing and nostalgic way to improve mobility and wellbeing, encourage social contact, unlock memories, boost confidence and combat loneliness. It also brings live music to an older generation that might not always feel comfortable or be physically able to attend some of the places they used to enjoy a live band. A £5,000 grant from ACT will enable the band to host 10 sessions for those in the community.

Suffolk Music and Arts Trust (SMART) – our fourth finalist for the Bright Future prize, Grace Harman, is a youth trustee at the charity, having benefited and supported them previously.

Due to the pandemic, the charity can no longer sustain their Schools Education Programme in which they delivered life-saving cancer awareness talks to over 25,000 students across the East of England, so the team are looking to take this course online. This custom-built online training programme will allow student and teachers to access life-saving cancer awareness resources from anywhere in the UK. A £4,790 grant will fully fund this programme continuing the amazing work the family have already done in raising awareness so that they may save lives in the future.

Jump Space is a specialist centre offering rebound therapy, trampolining and sensory play. It provides a safe, fun, understanding and non-judgmental environment for disabled children and young people, many of whom are unable to access other forms of sport and activity. The centre is fully accessible with hoist equipment available for the trampolines, ball pool and a sensory area. Always looking for new ways to innovate and make their services available to more people, the charity was looking to invest in trampolines which are smaller and lighter than the ones used at the centre, making it possible to transport them more easily and put into venues with limited space. ACT approved £4,775 to purchase this equipment, enabling the charity to further diversify and offer services to a wider audience.

CRY Ireland supports families affected by Sudden Cardiac Death in Ireland and is a cause that is close to the heart of Aoife who applied for a grant to help them continue their amazing work. Apart from a few full-time staff members, the rest of the services are provided by volunteers meaning that funding can go directly to the services and keep them free for people to access. Having family members who have been impacted by SADS, Aoife has been involved supporting the charity over the years with fundraising and helps out at their annual lunch event. This €2,000 grant will help contribute to the work put in by Aoife and other supporters and keep the service running for those who need support.

The Sick Children's Trust - provide home-from-home accommodation a stone’s throw away from Children's hospitals meaning that parents and families with a seriously ill child in hospital do not need to worry about leaving their child, they can be at their side within minutes and do not have to worry about any financial strain. Due to frequent use over the years, one of their homes, Eckersley House in Leeds, is now in urgent need of redecorating. A grant of £3,365 means the Trust reach their redecorating cost target and will now be able to start the project. The trust says our contribution “will help us future proof the House for years to come and ensure that families staying at Eckersley House receive the rest, support and facilities needed to enable them to cope and stay close by their child’s side in hospital during a most critical time.” The Sick Children's Trust are also a key partner for URIS Group's 'Chariday' scheme and pre-Covid they provided volunteering opportunities for colleagues to give back.
