|Summary of the main<br>achievementsof the<br>charity, identifying<br>the difference the<br>charity’s work has<br>made to the<br>circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any<br>wider benefitsto<br>society as a whole.|Para1.20|Our charity promotes the values of collaboration, inclusiveness,<br>respect, innovation and integrity. Our staff are skilled,<br>approachable, welcoming and friendly. We create an atmosphere<br>of positivity and kindness where service users can fully engage<br>with the support we offer. Our staff also have opportunities to<br>develop and harness their own skills and practices.<br>We have positive feedback from service users and statistics on<br>the number of people we have supported. But perhaps the most<br>impactful signs of our achievement are shown in the smiles and<br>laughter during a lesson, lasting friendships formed and seeing the<br>service users' excitement as they nervously prepare for their<br>interview in their smart shirts and ties. Through our support, we<br>hear stories of transformation in people’s lives; bringing hope and<br>a lifeline in people’s times of need.<br>We realise that what we have achieved together is but the<br>beginning of someone’ meaningful future. And the charity will<br>continue to strategise and plan our work to maximise our<br>achievement and impacts. We long to see more service users<br>embarking on new employment, developing their skills, and using<br>their gifts and potential to bring about positive impacts in our<br>society, communities and home lives.<br>**Summary of the key achievements of the year:**<br>St Francis Employability has continued great work in 2023,<br>continuing and growing on its core activities and providing much<br>needed support within the community. Throughout 2023 St<br>Francis Employability engaged with approximately 1577<br>individuals/households through its charitable activities with the<br>many of beneficiaries receiving help from a variety of activities<br>showing the holistic nature of our charity’s work.<br>**Reaching Communities Project**– our Reaching Communities<br>Project is inclusive of our community and employment support as<br>well as our volunteering programme and community café. In 2023<br>our support team carried out 2238 appointments, supporting 436<br>individuals/households through 121 appointments in employment<br>and wider support needs, including benefit, housing and debt<br>guidance.

the rising cost of living. We have continued to be a fulfilment location for foodbank parcels providing 913 parcels to support households in accessing emergency food support. We have also continued to provide household support fund parcels commissioned by the local authority and have provided 822 parcels to those accessing the HSF support. Our social supermarket has continued to support those in need of long-term support providing food support paired with interventions through our other projects working to address the reasons they are needing food support. In 2023 we had 66 different members of our Social Supermarket, approximately 55 at a time and have provided 1211 Social Supermarket parcels. Out of the 8 people who no longer need this support, 3 left due to gaining new employment and 5 left because their financial circumstances had improved. 

**ESOL for all** – our internal ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) school has continued running 8 different ESOL classes a week varying from pre-entry to entry 3. We have supported 213 students in improving their English skills. Our ESOL school has been highly in demand and our waiting lists have been large. We have worked through them as quickly as we can and have completed 358 assessments with potential students in 2023. We have also provided 2 classes specifically for asylum seekers in the hotels where they are housed. 

## **Migrant Support:** 

We have continued to provide support to refugees and asylum seekers through various projects. Some specific projects include: My Coventry – The AMIF funded My Coventry was due to end in 2022 but successfully got extended to December 2023. We therefore have continued to provide employment and integration support to migrants and refugees, working to provide skills development alongside English learning and mentoring support. Through the My Coventry extension, we have supported 191 individuals and supported 16 migrants into employment. Resettlement – we have continued to work in close partnership with Coventry City Council to support newly arrived refugees in Coventry. We have provided evening ESOL lessons with a creche to support refugees' English learning and also provided creche facilities to refugees' welcome programmes and partners ESOL lessons. 

**STEP** – Commissioned through World Jewish Relief, STEP was also due to end in 2022 but was extended to December 2023. Through STEP we support refugees who have come through the resettlement programme through an ESOL Employability course through which they learn about how to find work in the UK, how to maintain employment, interview skills, CV’s applications and more. This is paired with a volunteering placement. We have supported 39 students through this extension. 

**HARP** – Health Access for Refugees Programme is a new project for us in 2023. The aim of the project is to support migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in overcoming barriers in accessing healthcare and also understanding their rights in accessing it. Through this project we are one of four partners, and we are running ESOL for health courses looking at supporting English

learning alongside teaching learners how to access healthcare support, key health information and addressing rights and barriers to healthcare. In 2023, we supported 14 people through the course in the first quarter. 

**BNO Support** – we have provided a range of BNO (British National Overseas) specific support throughout 2023. We have provided BNO conversation classes and integration classes supported through DELTA funding. We also received a grant from the Department for Housing and Levelling Up which was used to provide specific BNO employment support. Through this we ran interview and CV workshops, volunteering opportunities and wider employment support. In 2023 we engaged with 61 BNOs. BNOs have engaged in our wider support and many were also engaged with the My Coventry project. 

## **Access for All Funding** 

We received funding from the Access for All foundation in January of 2023 which enabled us to run IT lessons for those who were not digitally literate. We ran 3 cohorts working to support individuals in learning how to use computers and 30 accreditations were achieved through this. We also provided one-to-one support with computer access within our building. 

## **Employer Engagement** 

St Francis Employability has started to build connections with employers to create and strengthen pathways into employment for our beneficiaries. This work has begun as we realised more and more that while it was often very easy for our beneficiaries to get entry level jobs where English requirements are low and there is little need for specific skills, it is much harder for them to navigate routes into higher skilled work, where they can utilise the skills they have from their previous work experience. 

We are very keen to ensure that our beneficiaries are getting support to engage in employment that is meaningful for them and utilises their skills and past experience. We have found that there are significant barriers to higher levels of employment. For example: experience in the UK, DBS checks, accessibility of applications and interviews and lack of understanding from employers. 

Our aim is to engage with employers to break down these barriers and work out ways around them to create these pathways for employment within different industries and in turn utilising people's skills and experience here in the UK. 

## **Connecting with other Organisations and Charities** 

We have already made connections with the Coventry Building Society, University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire, DHL, Severn Trent, and Cadent. These connections hope to bring greater engagement and understanding with our client groups and create opportunities for them within the workplace which is meaningful for them. 

Through working with Business in the Communities we also were able to take part in a ‘seeing is believing’ event. Approximately 20 corporate employers were able to visit our site and learn more

about what we do and also the barriers our beneficiaries are facing with employment. They engaged in a tour, a talk with our CEO and also talks with some of our clients who had the opportunity to talk about the barriers they are facing with employment. Through this event, we had some positive engagement with some of the corporates and we have built an amazing relationship with Orbit who supported us in fixing our leaking roof. This has provided us with much-needed security over the use of our building in the future and allowed us to continue what we do for the foreseeable future. 

## **Key events:** 

5th May - Coronation celebration 20th June – Refugee Week meal – we held a community meal with foods from around the world to mark Refugee Week. We have held 2 different awards evenings to celebrate those who have achieved accreditations through the My Coventry project. 15th December - We held a Christmas celebration for the community where we had food, carols, and another awards event.
