Achlevements and Perfomiance Th15 financlal year wa5 a year of revlew and change for The RAP Foundatlon. We wekomed Jessica Hawley as our new CEO and her Inltlal focus was a reconslderatlon of our general strate8y and approach, a refresh of our web51te, a revlew and redlrectlon of our social media strategy and, as a consequence of th15 work, a full revlew and rework of our presentations. Like many other small charltle5 In the UK, It has been Increaslngly more difficult to secure funding due to both intense competltlon for a Ilmlted amount of funds and a challenging economic environment. In addition, we operate wlth Ilmlted resources, relying often on the goodwill of those who know and have experlence of the charlty. Furthermore, navigating the complex landscape of grant applications without experlenced fundralsers or funds to dedicate to fundraising has been increasingly challen8ing. We are unbellevably grateful to the various individuals and foundations that continue to support our work and have made funds available to us in the 25126 financial year, in order to enable us to continue our much- needed work. In addition to this, our new CEO has worked hard to reconnect with our existing schools and build new relationships, focussing on the more deprived local London boroughs. In previous years. we regularly r1Ved donations from schools themselves, which contributed towards the costs of presenter fees. However, stattrmaintained schools are facing ever tighter budgets and have been unable to donate in the same way as previously. This has had the knock-on effect of an Increased reliance on third party grant fundin& Whilst our direct actlvty in schools has been reduced this year, our social media psence has signrficantly increased. As well as enhancing our Instagram presence, The RAP Foundation now has a nkTok account. One of our posts alone, relatin8 to the various discussions following the s¢reenlng of the BBC drama Adolescence. had viewing5 in excess of 80k Raislng awareness through soclal media Is very much part of our ongolng strate&i. Going forwards, we are exdted to bulld on our contacts and relationships with London boroughs and London schools and are hopeful of 8rowlng our direct artivity in schools once again. Our work contlnues to be highly relevant, and the followlng are examples of testimonials from xhools we continue to work with: 'Thank you again for comln8 in and presentln8 to our students, It was a really valuable talk and they definitely got a lot out of It.. Yhe RAP Foundation's sesslon at lour school] was hlghly enga8ln8 and Impartful. Puplls responded thoughtfully to challen8in8 toplcs around online behavlour, consent and dl8ltal wellbeing.
