## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** 

**From 1/1/23  to  31/12/23** 

**Charity name: EdufundUK** 

**Charity registration number: 1181708** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the<br>purposes of the<br>charity as set out<br>in its governing<br>document|Para<br>1.17|For the public benefit to advance the education of pupils in state primary and<br>secondary schools in England and Wales by promoting interest, motivation,<br>understanding and attainment in the following curriculum areas:<br>•<br>science, technology, engineering and mathematics<br>•<br>physical education and<br>•<br>learning to learn (in any subject)<br>|
|Summary of the<br>main activities in<br>relation to those<br>purposes for the<br>public benefit, in<br>particular, the<br>activities, projects<br>or services<br>identified in the<br>accounts.|Para<br>1.17<br>1.19|Edufund UK invite Hertfordshire state‐funded primary and secondary and special<br>schools to submit applications for “projects” which we will fund  (e.g. specific<br>resources, training, outside workshops, trips etc).<br>**Secondary Schools Awards**<br>**Minor Awards**<br>Secondary schools could be awarded up to £1,000 in each of our 3 focus areas<br>(PE, STEM and Learning to Learn) per academic year.<br>**Major Awards**<br>Secondary schools could also apply for our annual Major Awards (£10,000) for<br>larger projects (maximum of 3 applications per school for a Major Award, 1<br>application for each of our 3 focus areas).<br>**Primary Schools Awards**<br>Due to the much larger number of primaries (compared to secondaries) in the<br>county, each school is limited to a maximum bid of £1,000 per school per<br>academic year.  Schools can apply for smaller amounts over the year up to the<br>maximum £1,000 and be focussed on a wider range of subjects than is the case<br>with secondary schools.  This reflects the different scale and needs of primary<br>schools and enables us to help a larger percentage of the c400 primaries in the<br>county.<br>**Special Schools**<br>Hertfordshire State‐Funded special schools are treated the same as mainstream<br>primary and secondary schools and very welcome to apply for funding.  They are<br>limited to one application of £1,000 per academic year however, due to the<br>smaller number of pupils benefitting.|

|||**Sponsorships - Cross School Initiatives**<br>**Stevenage and North Herts Writing Project**<br>This is a collaboration of 10 ‐ 20 primary schools who focus for a set number of<br>weeks on reading the same book and running their English curriculum around it,<br>culminating in a writing competition and award ceremony.   We have been<br>supporting this initiative through a minor award for a number of years and in<br>2022 we offered our ongoing support in the form of a year‐by‐year sponsorship.<br>Under this arrangement, the project applies each year by letter and may be<br>awarded more than the normal maximum for single primary schools.  We aim to<br>award £100 per Hertfordshire primary school involved in the initiative each year.<br>We will consider other cross‐school collaborations, possibly also formalising<br>awards into a sponsoring arrangement for a number of years.<br>**Overall**<br>We believe schools have the best idea which activities/resources will provide<br>most benefit to their particular pupils at any particular time.  Thus, we believe we<br>provide the most public benefit (enhancement of education) by letting schools<br>propose their own projects and then checking they meet our award criteria which<br>is explained on our website. <br> <br>The charity thus far had invited applications solely from state‐funded schools in<br>Hertfordshire.  The demand from these schools to date seems to be roughly<br>matching the available annual funds and thus, we will continue to solely support<br>Hertfordshire state‐funded schools as opposed to “_state primary and secondary_<br>_schools in England and Wales_” for the foreseeable future.|

|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees<br>have had regard to<br>the guidance issued<br>by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|<br>Para<br>1.18|The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard<br>to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in<br>exercising their powers and duties. The public benefit of the Charity’s activities is<br>the enhancement of learning, attainment and motivation of primary and<br>secondary state‐school pupils.  This is achieved principally by the award of grants<br>for school proposed learning initiatives.|

|<br> <br>Policy on grant<br>making<br> <br>|<br> <br>Para<br>1.38|**Primary Grants**<br>We aim to split the initial awards budget roughly equally between primary and<br>secondary schools.   However, this is not a strict policy as award opportunities<br>depend on which schools apply to us and the balance of schools’ needs.  Any<br>money remaining at the end of the year simply carries over into the EdufundUK<br>unrestricted funds account for the following year.<br>For the year ending 31/12/2023, we decided to:<br>•<br>Continue the maximum award per school of up to £1,000 each academic year<br>(staggered smaller bids over the academic year are permitted)<br>•<br>Change the Effective Learning category to Learning to Learn (L2L).  This<br>category now focusses on the teaching of skills/techniques to learn more<br>effectively and does not include resources (e.g. specialised equipment and<br>subject‐specific software) to facilitate more effective learning.  These<br>resources can still be applied for in the subject specific categories.<br>•<br>Split Effective Learning/Learning to Learn from Outdoor Learning (O/L) due to<br>the above changes.<br>•<br>Continue with the wider focus areas (compared to secondary’s PE, STEM and<br>Effective Learning) of STEM, PE, English, Foundation Subjects, Learning to<br>Learn and Outdoor Education.<br>By not having a Major Award(s) for primary schools we can help a larger number<br>of different schools given that there are c400 state primaries in Hertfordshire as<br>opposed to only c80 state secondary schools.  We also think the fast turnaround<br>and swift project implementation of these smaller awards really benefit schools.<br>We feel the wider range of focus subjects better reflects the needs of primary<br>schools because their work in various subjects is very often integrated (e.g.<br>centred on a topic theme for the half‐term) and they very rarely have distinct<br>subject departments.<br>**Secondary Grants**<br>**Minor Awards**<br>We wanted to maintain the minor awards as we believe the shorter application<br>form, fast turnaround and project implementation of the smaller awards is<br>beneficial to schools.<br>**Major Awards**<br>This year, we returned to awarding 3 Major Awards (of £10,000 each) with one<br>award in each focus area (STEM, PE, Learning to Learn).<br>We chose to structure the awards in this way for a number of reasons:<br>•<br>Departments in one school are not forced to compete against each other for<br>a single £10,000 prize.<br>•<br>We want to support all three focus areas as much as possible.<br>Our grant policy will remain under constant review for both sectors.  For<br>example, we shall look at the response rate and feedback for our Major Awards<br>and we will also consider the award structure and amounts in light of rapidly<br>rising prices and changing school needs.  We may vary the number of major<br>awardsgranted accordingto budgetaryconsiderations.|

We have maintained the high number of applications and different schools applying for our Major awards.  We think this may be due to our decision to stick to the full £10,000 grants. 

A number of Major Award applications were again for a contribution of the £10,000 towards a more expensive project.  This was not the preferred purpose of the Major Awards.  We will continue to monitor this situation to assess the relevance of a £10,000 award to schools’ needs (e.g. is it a large enough sum to fund a substantial project on its own or would we be better to use the £30,000 to increase the number of minor awards?).  We will maintain the maximum project total cost of £20,000 for next year to ensure our contribution is at least 50%. 

We will also consider awarding fewer Major Awards in 2024 to help rebuild up our reserves. 

## **First Time Awards (Academic Year 2022/23)** 

We value applicants and schools who regularly apply for awards year after year but it is also important to encourage new staff and schools to apply.   School award limits are set per academic year so the figures below reflect this (i.e. we include the autumn term of the previous year in these figures and not the autumn term of this accounting year.)

EdufundUK Trustees Annual Report y/e 31/12/23    p8 of 15 



We have had an excellent academic year for applicants applying for the first time Judging from our past experience, many of these members of staff are likely to apply again in subsequent years from their existing or new schools. We are also very pleased to have awarded grants to some schools for the first time: Primary:   23 (2022 ‐ 22) of the 38 (2022 ‐ 30) new applicants from primary schools came from schools who had not been awarded a grant before. 

Secondary:  4 (2022 ‐ 5) of the 22 (2022 ‐ 20) new minor award applicants from secondary and special schools (inc. PRUs) came from schools who had not been awarded a grant before. 

## **Award Administration** 

We continue to maintain an efficient turnaround of applications for a number of reasons: 

- We continue to use bank transfers for awards rather than cheques. 

- • Gareth Mottram continues to work closely with David Butterfield in the office to process applications and administer the charity.  The majority of communication with schools is still handled efficiently via email. 

- We constantly review and update the application form, instructions and help pages on the website to help applicants to avoid bids that are unlikely to meet our criteria and include all the required information in sufficient detail.

## **Award Winners Feedback** 

In  October 2019,  we set up a Google Forms questionnaire for award recipients to ask about the application process and the academic impact of their award. Then, in January 2021, we split the form into two separate questionnaires – one to assess the process (which could be filled in shortly after applying) and the second one to assess the award’s impact (which requires a term or so to judge the learning benefits of the funded equipment/activity).   We are quite strict on receiving the award impact feedback from schools as this acts as a check on the effective use of the charity’s funds to meet our objectives. 

The responses continued to be very positive. 

## **Award Process Feedback** 

(xx) = Previous Year 

**Average /10** (of all responses up to year end) 

- 8.0 (8.7) for a concise application process 

- 9.5 (9.8) for an easy‐to‐understand application process 

- 9.8 (9.9) for the communication between schools and EdufundUK 

- 9.5 (9.7) for ease of finding information on the website 

- 9.7 (9.8) for usefulness of information on the website 

## **Award Impact Feedback** 

(xx) = Previous Year 

**Average /10** (of all responses up to year end) 

- 9.9 (9.7) for how likely they are to apply for another EdufundUK award. 

- 9.9 (9.9) for how likely they are to recommend EdufundUK to colleagues within their school. 

- 9.8 (9.9) for how likely they are to recommend EdufundUK to colleagues in another school. 

- 88% (87%) of all projects started within a term of the award being granted with 68% (57%) starting within just half a term.

This was due to very high demand from schools and<br>a decision to use the majority of our funds to meet it. However, we had a<br>donation of £150,000 guaranteed for January 2023.  Due to tight<br>budgetary control of a new monthly donations limit, we greatly improved<br>this situation and carried forward £51,816 unrestricted funds at the end of<br>2023.|

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Edufund UK** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 1 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
