Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 August 2023
The Trustees of The Talent Tap (“the charity”) present their annual report and financial statements for the 12 months ended 31[st] August 2023.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The Trustees’ annual report and financial statements are prepared in accordance with the reporting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and have undergone independent examination.
Objective and activities
Purpose and aims
The aim of The Talent Tap is to promote social mobility by addressing the barriers of geography and socioeconomic disadvantage to create opportunity. Increasing social mobility allows young people to access the life experiences, professional networks and careers that would otherwise be out of reach.
Where low social mobility exists, young people are less able to achieve their aspirations, and their talents and cognitive diversity are wasted. Social mobility is central to the creation of a fair, vibrant society – and for a productive economy.
Our objective is to act as a resource for young people by providing services and assistance and organising programmes of educational and other activities with the aim of helping them develop their skills, capacities and capabilities – thus enhancing their participation in society, advancing their education and reducing the likelihood of unemployment.
The Talent Tap programme is focused on long-term support. Our students join the scheme prior to the completion of their A levels and continue with us all the way to their first graduate role. Our long term, pastoral approach means our impact is reflected not through our numbers, but though the individual outcomes of those we support.

For the year ended 31 August 2023
Activities (continued)
The charity approaches social mobility change by tackling the knowledge, skills and support gaps experienced by our students – and by championing equal access to employment opportunity through our employer partner network.
We work with our corporate supporters to increase understanding of the barriers to social mobility, to highlight the advantages of a supported and diverse workforce for sustainability and success, and to provide access to a diverse talent pool.
Achievements and performance
Throughout the course of the year the charity has worked to refine its offering – from honing our school and student eligibility criteria, to expanding our reach into the regions, and refining our residential offering. Every forward step has been made to ensure the support of The Talent Tap is targeted to where it is needed most and is reflective of the assistance our students tell us they need.
Changing our requirements in relation to free school meals, first generation university and geographical location has allowed us to expand our work into new areas such as Cheshire, Blackpool, Norfolk & Wales – and we are now supporting young people from 33 different schools.
The aim is to increase our reach in social mobility cold-spots and to consolidate our focus on rural and coastal areas whilst simultaneously ensuring the diversity of our student population.
Tightening our criteria, and the creation of regional hubs, allows us to target the most geographically and socio-economically disadvantaged students, and provide support in the areas in which they live rather than them having to leave to achieve their aspirations.
Using funding raised in the prior year and a portion of our retained surplus, we have been able to establish a new hub in Manchester, and offer our Emerging Talent Programme there for the first time. We had 30 students join us for the inaugural summer residential in 2023, and worked with local corporations to provide them with opportunities for work experience, networking events, and employability skills workshops.
Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive, in both London and Manchester, with 99% reporting that the programme met or exceeded their expectations.
Feedback also confirmed improvements in their confidence, skills, network and knowledge – a result of getting involved first hand in real life projects, presenting their work to other employees, undertaking practical work (not work observance), gaining knowledge of career opportunities and industries, networking in their places of employment and at events, and learning new life skills to help them with their careers.
This further substantiates the charity’s belief that face-to-face interactions are both hugely beneficial for student satisfaction and development, and for long-term retention of students on the programme and as alumni.
Growth in student numbers was also achieved, with 117 students attending the summer residential programme – an increase of 25% from the prior year.
After listening to feedback from our older students, we created the Future Talent Programme – a set of shorter residentials that offer industry specific insights and employability skills – aimed at those applying and interviewing for internships and post-university employment.

Trustees’ annual report (continued)
For the year ended 31 August 2023
Achievements and performance (continued)
In March 2023, 21 students attended the first Future Talent Programme in London, with the second taking place post the year end.
Overall, The Talent Tap has nearly 300 students on its books – either currently being supported or ready to move into the alumni network having recently finished the programme.
During the financial year we also held our first Youth Symposium, in association with the Aldridge Foundation. The well-received event brought together youth and industry to collaboratively listen, learn and seek solutions to achieving, retaining and growing genuine diversity in industry - discussing the challenges and benefits of achieving inclusion and social mobility.
Representatives from over 40 organisations came together with a selection of current students and alumni to attend the event, and a second symposium is being planned for the current year.
Future aims and objectives
Further regional expansion remains the overriding aim for the 2023/24 financial year.
The Emerging Talent Programme in Manchester is planning growth, with a KPI of 40 students set for the summer 2024 residential. Alongside the 110 students planned for London, the residential uptake is projected to grow to 150 in total – a 28% growth target.
In addition, 2023/24 will see the consolidation of the Future Talent Programme – one additional programme has already been held in London where students accessed CV workshops, mock assessment centres and interviews, employability training, job hunting strategy, and networked with our corporate partners – and the aim is to hold the next event in Manchester.
We are committed to making sure our programme is reaching those that need it most in the way that is most beneficial to them. In light of this, we will be continuing to expand our school reach, review our eligibility criteria and evaluate our offering.
Public benefit
We, the Talent Tap Trustees, confirm that we have complied with our duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit – and have considered this guidance when planning future activities.
The charity works for public benefit by promoting social mobility. It aims to increase the opportunities available to young people from areas that suffer from low social mobility as a result of geography and socioeconomic barriers and ensures it particularly targets those from socio-economically deprived and nonprivileged backgrounds.
This work is also of benefit to the general public by way of both communication on issues surrounding social mobility via the charity’s website and social media, and its charitable activities that aim to break down the barriers to aspiration – creating a fairer society and more healthy economy.

Financial review
Financial position at the end of the financial period
NB. All comparative figures included in this review are for 17 months due to the previous change in accounting period.
The charity’s income for the financial year totalled £416,451 (2022: £440,593), representing a successful year of raising funds despite a challenging economic environment.
We were grateful for the continued support of our corporate partners, and pleased that new partnerships were formed in the year, whilst the recruitment of the Corporate Partnerships Manager increased the number of paid work experience places.
Grant income also continued to grow, with successful applications far exceeding the cost of consultancy.
The only areas in which relatively lower levels of income were seen, when taking into account the differing lengths of the financial periods under review, were donations-in-kind (the summer residential student accommodation being no longer provided by one of our corporate partners) and fundraising income.
However, the charity successfully pursued other non-cash donations and a return to previous levels of fundraising event activity is expected in the next financial period.
The income figure is comprised of donations inclusive of gift aid of £255,026 (2022: £265,741), grants of £132,000 (2022: £85,080), donations-in-kind of £19,045 (2022: £42,420) and fundraising of £10,380 (2022: £47,352).
Expenditure in the period stands at a total of £440,780 (2022: £335,172) of which 86% is attributable to charitable activities and the cost of raising funds (2022: 79%). This increase is a result of planned expansion – increasing student numbers, locations and activities, as well as raising staffing levels to support the developing programme. The comparative 17-month figure is relatively low as it included a period of reduced activity under Covid-19 restrictions.
The expenditure consisted of spending on charitable activities £344,636 (2022: £230,475), costs relating to raising funds £33,527 (2022: £34,569), support costs of £59,026 (2022: £66,681) and governance costs of £3,591 (2022: £3,447).
This has resulted in a net position of £(24,329) (2022: £105,421). Once added to brought forward reserves the final reserve position of the charity at the end of the financial period is £199,192 – consisting of unrestricted reserves of £157,692 and restricted reserves of £41,500.
In line with the financial expectations stated in the prior set of financial statements, the fulfilment of the expansion objectives has resulted in significant growth in charitable expenditure – and this has been partially funded using the reserve surplus.
This reserve release has satisfied the Trustee’s objective to not further increase the surplus position and ensure the charity’s income is being spent to advance charitable purpose rather than increasing reserves, whilst still maintaining a contingency fund.
Therefore, whilst the level of surplus has fallen in the current year, the funds held in reserve are sufficient to remain in line with the Trustee’s stated Reserve Policy and to support the achievement of growth plans in coming years – giving comfort as to the solvency of the charity.

Trustees’ annual report (continued)
For the year ended 31 August 2023
Financial outlook and objectives
The Trustees expect the charity to continue for the foreseeable future and as such are reporting on a going concern basis.
The charity has achieved a satisfactory surplus position at the end of the financial period, however the expansion objectives set for the coming periods, especially with regard to student numbers and related staffing, mean the reserves position is not forecast to increase further in the next financial year.
The charity is committed to continually reviewing its expenditure in order to ensure it is seeking best value for money, both financially and in terms of the benefit such charitable spending brings to our students.
It is probable that charitable expenditure will continue to grow, and whilst the retention of £199,192 at the end of the year allows the contingency reserve outlined in the Reserves Policy to be comfortably achieved, it is likely that a portion of the remaining surplus may be utilised to fund this growth - alongside cost management and review of income-generating strategies.
The Trustees will continue to review financial information relating to the charity and its expansion plans on a quarterly basis, assessing financial risk and ensuring the charity is making best use of its funds.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees of The Talent Tap believe that a reserve should be maintained in order to:
-
mitigate any going concern risks including unforeseen expenditure, changes to the funding model, or the gap between expenditure and income receipt; and
-
ensure that appropriate levels of funding are in place to undertake agreed programme activity and finance the operating costs of the charity for a minimum period.
As a result, the charity will hold in reserve not more than 50% of its income for the financial period.
In addition, it will endeavour to maintain a contingency reserve of 6 months of essential operating costs (consisting of support costs and costs of closure).
Both reserve targets have been met in the current year. The policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees to ensure it remains in line with the current objectives of the charity.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Institution (“CIO”) founded in April 2019 under a foundation constitution in which the Trustees are the only voting members.
It is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and its charity number is 1183124.
Apart from the first charity Trustees, every Trustee is appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Board of Trustees.
In selecting individuals for appointment, the charity Trustees will show regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
The charity Trustees will make available to each new charity Trustee, on or before his or her first appointment, a copy of the current version of the constitution and a copy of the latest Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements.
In the event of the CIO being wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and guarantees.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
