Introduction
Carol Tannahill, Chair of Trustees
I am very pleased to be introducing this Annual Report, my second as chair of
Trustees for JRF. It has been a year of significant change for the organisation,
with Trustees working closely with the Executive to make important decisions
about the strategy that JRF should pursue to deliver its mission.
As we reflect on the past year and look forward to marking the centenary of
Joseph Rowntree's death during 2025. we find ourselves at a critical juncture.
Rownlree. a visionary social pioneer. laid the foundation for our work during a
period of profound economic and social change. Today, we face challenges that,
while different in specifics, echo the uncertainties and disruptions of Rowntree's
time.
2024 was a year of significant change nationally and internationally. The
general election in July saw a new government come to power. We welcomed
the new Government's first King's Speech. with its ambition to address some
of the leading drivers of poverty through the legislative programme - including
through a commitment to building more affordable and sociol housing. and
strengthening the rights of workers and tenants.
However, Trustees became increasingly concerned over the course of the
year about the depth of povety in the country. Our Povety in the UK
report, published in January, showed that poverty was climbing back to pre-
pandemic levels and that it has been almost 20 years since the last period of
sustained reduction in poverty in the UK. JRF'S research findings published
in September demonstrated that even with the most optimistic assumptions
about growth and employment. relative poverty is unlikely to foll over the
life of this Parliament. Those assumptions. which appeared ambitious in
September, seem, at the time of writing, increasingly out of reach following the
brooder geopolitical uncertainty ond upheaval that we hove experienced in the
intervening months.
Rowntree's era saw the emergence of the welfare state amidst unprecedented
economic, technological, and social transformation. His focus was on
addressing the root causes of social injustices, particularly how wealth
tronslated into power. This perspective remains cruciol as we navigote the
complexities of the 21st century.
A century later, we recognise that we are at a point of even greater transilion.
Economic inequality, climate emergency, and technological advances present
profound challenges and risk marginalising even further those already at the
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
edges of society. The welfare state seems increasingly incapable of acting as
the safety net it was designed to be. The political and media discourse often
mirrors the inequality and extractive capitalism Rowntree opposed, pushing
ordinary families into deeper economic insecurity and poverty.
Those concerns have weighed heavily on us as Truslees over the course of the
year and we have thought deeply about how we fulfil our charitable objectives
and use the wealth of JRF to support the change that we want to see in the
world.
We committed in October to 3 new routes for change which will run through
everything the organisation does in support of our mission:
. Shifting the terms of the debate: Refocusing our policy work on
challenging dominant economic systems by highlighting their failures
and proposing policy ideas to enhance household economic security and
catalyse change.
Supporting and shielding the new: Resourcing grassroots movements
and supporting practical alternatives to the economic status quo through
funding. tools. and initiatives that foster new models and mindset shifts.
Building infrastructure for transition: Investing in grassroots
movements to support those living with injustice, helping them shape
change and shift mindsets.
Furthermore. we recognised that JRF has a wealth of assets. including our
substantial financial endowment. During 2024 Trustees agreed to fundamentally
reconsider how we use that endowment in support of our mission by:
Spending more: committing to significantly higher spending on mission-
aligned activities, including through our new Grounding and Unfurling
Funds
Investing wisely: moving our wealth into social, impact. and
transformational investments better aligned with our mission.
None of these decisions have been easy and I am grateful to my fellow Trustees
for the time, support and care that they have put in to helping us plot this
new way forward. I am looking forward to seeing the f irst fruits from this new
approach during 2025.. one of the areas that we will have as a focus is ensuring
an excellent understanding of the impact that we are making and the learning
that we can share.
For JRHT too it has been a significant year. The new executive team, led
by Chris Simpson, is now in place and driving forward work in support of
the Trust's strategic objectives. This has included making sure that there is
a clear understanding of tenant views. including through a door-knocking
campaign that took place over the summer, and through reinvigorating the
Residents Assembly. In October, we were one of the first Housing Associations
in the country to receive the new Consumer judgement from the Regulator of
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
Social Housing (RSH), and we were pleased to secure a C2 grade alongside a
reconfirmation of our Gl grade for governance. Further improving our work on
consumer standards for the benefit of our tenants will be a focus during 2025.
We have continued work to ensure that our care services are sustainable for
the future, and I am pleased that all of our Care Quality Commission (CQC)
registered services conlinue to have a good rating. We have also made
significant progress on our development work to secure our ambition of 1,000
new social and affordable homes. I am grateful to Terrie Alafat and the rest of
the JRHT Board for their continued dedication and hard work.
Conclusion
As we remember Joseph Rowntree's legacy, we are committed to honouring
his radical intent and determination. The crises we face demand nothing less.
We are dedicated to advancing our mission, supporting profound social and
economic changes, and ensuring that people and the planet can flourish.
Despite the challenges we face I am optimistic about 2025 and the part that
JRF will play in shaping the future.
I would also like to thank the many people and organisations who worked
with us during 2024. We greatly value these partnerships and the spirit of
collaboration and joint learning.. none of what we seek to achieve can be done
by JRF alone. Finally, my thanks go to my fellow Trustees, members of the JRHT
Board, our Independent Committee Members, and most importantly to all JRF
and JRHT staff for their considerable efforts, care and achievements over the
past year. I would like particularly to pay tribute to Stuart Coe and Christine
Frame who have provided the Trustees with huge amounts of support and good
counsel over many years.

Governing document 2024
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) was formed by a Deed of Foundation
dated 13 December 1904, originalW under the name of the Joseph Rowntree
Village Trust. There have been a number of changes to the Deed since then, the
most significant being effected under the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust Act
1959. The name was changed to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 1990.
Following a review of governance structures and an incorporation process
in 2020, JRF is now constituted as a Company Limited by Guarantee and its
governing document is the JRF Articles of Association.
As per the Articles of Association, JRF is the parent organisation of the Joseph
Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT).
Trustees set the strategy for JRF and the wider Group. day-to-day management
functions are the responsibility of the Executive Directors.
Recruitment of Trustees
As per the Articles of Association. JRF Trustees are appointed by existing
Trustees to serve 3-year terms. There is a maximum of 3 terms for each Trustee.
so each may serve for up to 9 years.
All recruitment drives are conducted in partnership with external specialists,
with diversity, skills and continuous improvement pivotal to the brief. A skills
matrix is maintained for all Trustees, which informs the recruitment of Trustees
and nominations to other governance committees in the Group.
Trustee induction and personal development arrangements are regularly
reviewed, and a specific budget has been established for this purpose. Each
Trustee has an annual review with the chair, where strengths and areas for
development are discussed and action plans put in place. Trustees also have an
annual development day as a group.
Some individuals are both JRF Trustees and members of the Board of the JRHT.
Organisational Structure
JRF is governed according to its Articles of Association by JRF Trustees. JRHT.
a Community Benefit Society and subsidiary of JRF, is governed by its Board in
accordance with its rules.
JRF is responsible for setting strategy and Group operations and there is
an Intra-Group Agreement that specifies the relationship be￿een the 2
organisations.
The￿ are 2 sub-committees that support both JRF and JRHT:
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION

Spending more: Committing to significantly higher spending on mission-
aligned activities, including through our new Grounding and Unfurling Funds
• Investing wisely: Moving our wealth into social, impact, and transformational
investments better aligned with our mission.
In 2024 JRHT launched its updated strategy and core purpose and in doing
so now strives to be a housing association that is sustainable and engaging,
provides high quality and continuously improving services and decent
affordable homes in well managed communities prioritising those in
greatest n••d.
During The summer of 2024, JRHT underwent an inspection and assessment
by the RSH. We are pleased to say That JRHT received updated grades
for Governance, Viability, and the new Consumer Standard confirming our
compliance across all assessed areas..
. Gl for Governance - retained top grade
. V2 for Viability - retained position
C2 for the new Consumer Standard.
Our commitment to understanding residents, needs, strengthening engagement,
and refining our approach to learning from complaints remains ot the core of
what we do. To support this work, we sought direct feedback from residents
about their experiences with JRHT and the services we provide. Between 5
June and 10 October 2024. more than 70 colleagues knocked on over 2.200
doors and spoke with over 1,000 residents. We visited homes in York, Leeds,
Scarborough, Hartlepool, and places in between. The response was fantastic,
with residents sharing their concerns, opinions, and welcoming us into their
homes.
Additionally. we developed and aligned our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
(EDI) strategy within JRHT'S corporate plan. This strategy focuses on creating
inclusive and welcoming services. challenging discrimination. and increasing
diversity and representation of staff at all levels.

Achievements and performance
JRF
At the start of 2024. we set ourselves 2 main objectives. First. given the neor
certainty of a general election we knew we needed to stay sharply focused on
policy and politics. Our aim was to shape the public and political conversation
around hardship and economic security, and to offer ideas and propositions
that spoke to the major challenges facing society. 2024 was also The second
year of a self-imposed learning journey as we sought to define more clearly our
role in fostering the conditions necessary to meet our ambition to 'support and
speed up the transition. in the fullest possible way.
To support our work we continued to utilise our endowment, in line with our
agreed financiol objective. We drew down £46 million from our investments to
support our charitable activities. with the balance of our financial endowment
being held primarily in equities. At the end of 2024, £11 million of our
endowment was held in social investments. The overall value of the endowment
reduced from £419.8 million to £418.8 million between 31 December 2023 and 31
December 2024. This is a 0.2Yo decrease over the year and remains Iyo ahead of
JRF'S internal target. Further detail on our financial performance is described in
the Financial Review section below.
As in 2023 we organised our activity under 3 impact pathways agreed by our
trustees - directional change, systemic change and infrastructure for change.
In this section we elaborate on the different strands of work we have either
delivered or set in train under the 3 headings.

Directional change
Main signs of impact:
The April 2024 review of Homes England mirrored several JRF
recommendations on the need for a public sector master developer.
The SNP. Liberal Democrat and Plaid Cymru manifestos committed either
to stretching targets to end deep povety and destitution or to adopting our
flagship ask of enshrining an Essentials Guarantee into law.
. The Labour Party committed to 'end moss dependence on emergency food
parcels. as well as to review Universal Credit, so that it better tackles poverty. in
its manifesto.
The Labour Party also pledged to give local authorities a central role in
monaging local care markets while taking suff iciency gaps more seriously.
The Conservative, Lal)our and Liberal Democrat manifestos collectively hinted
at an emerging consensus oround the need for more publicly led development
while the Conservotive manifesto echoed our calls to use the tax system to shift
the balance of tenures away from renting to a higher rate of home ownership.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG)
consultation on Right to Buy echoed some our recommendations to fix right
to buy discounts and extend the period in which discounts need to be repaid if
tenants sell to Ioten years from 5five.
In addition to some more money for social housing. following representations
from JRF, Trussell and others. the Government agreed at the Oclober Bbudget
to reduce The level of debt repayments that can be taken from Universal Credit.
Our contribution to their deliberations was publicly credited by the Chancellor in
her speech.
The Spring 2025 Green Paper introduced a 'right to try, guarantee that will
prevent people receiving health-related benefits from having their entitlements
automatically reassessed if they enter employment.

webinar. This 'state of the nation, publication format set out key trends, with the
aim of leading and defining the national conversation on poverty. The report
had impressive reach and immediate impact, drawing on our new brand and
website. including 5 factor increases in social media plafform click throughs
and impressions (with over a million impressions across Twitter, LinkedIn and
Facebook). We also secured endorsements from high-profile figures including
Martin Lewis, Andrew Marr and James O'Brien, and recorded nearly 1,000
webinar attendees.
In April we published a series of essays looking at different aspects of how
working in neighbourhoods can protect people from hardship. The series
covered building social connection, strengthening community power, providing
emergency support and accessing practical help and advice. We discussed the
work at New Local's major community power conference in June and released a
series of award-nominated films featuring some of the projects namechecked in
the essays. to elevate their work and show what it looks like in practice.
In May we launched a pledge action asking all parliamenlary candidates to,
if elected, use their voice as an MP to 'advocate for changes which would help
ensure our social security system protects people from needing a food bank
to survive,. Over 3,000 people wrote to their local parliamentary candidates,
leading to signatures from 237 candidates, including 33 Labour candidates, 26
Lib Dems and one Conservative. Many more engaged positively, thoughfful
and constructively with us, even when they were not in a position to sign the
pledge.
After the snap election was called our Insight and Policy team adapted and
brought forward several existing projects and programmes. including work
on the cost-of-living tracker survey, analysis of 'poverty proximity. and The
qualitative work on The impact of hardship on primary healthcare and primary
schools to increase the salience of hardship and destitution during the short
campaign. This led some journalists to ask politicians more probing questions
about their plans for tackling poverty.
In early September we put on a parliamentary event jointly with Trussell for
more than 50 MPS. Engagement across the room was very positive, with MPS
wonting to find out more about the Minimum Floor, the Essentials Campaign,
and the work of JRF and Trussell more generally. There was much lo follow up
on, including requests for Parliamentary Questions and local statistics, providing
a strong foundation for parliamentary engagement ahead of The Budget.
At the start of that month, we also published the latest Minimum Income
Standard, which led he Observert front page with new findings on
supplementary private health care entering the basket of minimum standard
items. The work will form the basis of new Reol Living Wage rates later this year,
and the latest paper also included constructing standards for what people need
for oll population groups for the first time since the first report in 2008. meaning
we now have a robust base for the next 4 years of reports.

Later in September we published new modelling of possible paths for poverty
across the Parliament, based on conditional scenarios for the macro economy
using Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) and Bank of England forecasts.
The work showed that relative poverty - which we believe is likely to be a key
metric for the new government- is unlikely to fall due to growth alone. Even in
a scenario where the Government met their targets for the fastest growth in the
G7 and achieved an 800A employment rate. poverty is likely to be no lower by
the end of the current Parliament than it is loday. The findings were published
on the day of the Chancellor's conference speech and led to broadcast
coverage and reporting online.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies also published the final Living standards. poverty
and inequolity in the UK report that we have been funding, with particular deep
dives into mortgages and differential inflation by income and poverty rates
among pensioners. The work on mortgages in particular received strong media
coverage and the work on pensioners helped to inform the debate around
Winter Fuel Payments.
Care
In March, we published our report. A new social contract in the childcare system,
setting out our vision for a childcare system which met the needs of children,
parents. workers. providers. and the taxpayer. Alongside this we worked with
The Guardian on novel analysis looking at the finances of the 50 biggest
childcare providers to explore the stability and profiteering of privote equity-
backed providers, resulting in several pieces in the paper and online as well as
mentions in the months following.
In August we published The future of care needs, which estimated the number
of people who would be undertaking unpaid care in 10 years and called for
a cross-government taskforce to think in the round about evolving paid care
services and unpaid care to meet growing and changing demand.
We ran 2 well-attended events at Labour and Conservative conferences on
the need to centre care in any programme for government, partnering with
Progressive Britain and Bright Blue. 4 parliamentarians, 2 national journalists,
and the Children's Commissioner contribuled on our panels, and we continued
to deepen our relationships with government ministers, special advisers and
Department for Education (DfE) and Department of Health & Social Care
(DHSC) officials.
The Autumn Budget. Employment Rights Bill and Child Poverty Strategy
offered further opportunities for the care programme with reforms to Carer's
Allowance and the possibility of further change around care and work. We held
a session in early December with MPS and No. 10 advisers on our paternity
leave asks and modelling (with the Centre for Progressive Policy and Dad Shift).
hosted an exploratory round table with care workers and experts with the
Raye Foundation exploring care worker power and how we can bolster it; and
published the results of a long-running research project with Gingerbread on

creating a Child Maintenance Service that would tackle child poverty,
Housin
In March we published a report looking at the contribution that strategic
acquisitions of homes in the secondary market could play in rebalancing the
distribution and tenure mix of housing. The paper appraised the growth of
acquisition programmes - covering their potential but also their limitations -
before recommending 3 scenarios where they should be deployed. These ore:
to reduce the cost of providing temporary accommodation, while driving up
quality; growing a community-owned sector in lower-cost housing markets
which are otherwise plagued by poor conditions. poor management, and where
rental payments are not benefiting local communities. and" as port of a wider
plan to reform the 'right to buy, to arrest the decline of social housing and
prevent the leakage of public subsidies.
Ahead of the MHCLG consultation on the Right to Buy we engaged with
advisers and officials on the report's proposals and can see some impact from
our thinking on where ministers have landed.
In the run-up to the October Budget, we published onalysis on the impact of
maintaining the freeze on Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates. We shared this
analysis with officials in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and
HMT. UnfortunateW, LHA was not re-linked but our analysis did feature in media
coverage of the Budget - adding scrutiny in this area that would likely not have
happened without this intervention. It was also used by the MP for Dewsbury,
Iqbal Mohamed, in a post-Budget parliamentary debate.
Work
The primary focus in this area was on generating insight and policy propositions
capable of gaining political influence and moving the dial on employment entry
rates for those struggling with the hardship caused in part by being without
a job. We were concerned both about those who are inactive (with projects
underway on those Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETS) and the
caF)ability to work for people with ill-health or a disability) and the unemployed
(with work underway on how to design mutual obligations in the system in ways
that support strong employment outcomes).
To frame this work. and to influence government and opposition thinking ahead
of the election. we published a mojor research and policy briefing in February
on the previous Government's Jobcentre Plus/DWP approach and proposals
for change. This argued for a shift from enforcing compliance to facilitating
engagement and employment as the driving motivation for the system.
Our analytical findings were offered as an exclusive to The Times, featuring
prominently online and on page 2 of the paper. They were also shared widely
on social media. Our influencing strategy involved engaging octively with key
advisers and politicians in the Opposition and senior officials at DWP during
the course of the project. An early sign of impact from this line of argument was
Keir Starmer's message to 'end the tick-box culture, in Jobcentres.

In April we published a report on expanding childcare for low-income families.
This was a multi-faceted piece of work that explored both parental attitudes
towards the current childcare offer in Scotland and what more they might
want, as well as analysing the impact an increased offer of childcare might
have on relative poverty levels and disposable income. While presenting what
parents are calling for (around 20 hours a week for l- and 2-year-olds and 35
hours for 3- and 4-year-olds all year), it also made the case for changing the
woy childcare is funded to increase the possibility of the Scottish Government
supporting such a significant expansion. This work has also opened avenues
for other parts of the third sector to explore alternative approaches than the
currently campaigned for universal 50-hour offer.
In October we published Poverty in Scotland 2024, a deep dive into the impacts
of the social security in Scotland. The report encouraged the UK Governments
and Scottish Governments to work more closely together on social security and
reiterated cross UK calls on the adequacy of the system as a whole. The report
was launched at the start of Challenge Poverty Week with both the Secretary of
State for Scotland and the Scottish Governmenfs Cabinet Secretary for Social
Justice in attendance.
Later that month we also published qualitative research into how people with
lived experience of poverty have been supported and empowered to deliver
change in Dundee. We hope this will provide a template for other public
authorities to take similar approaches to long-term commitments to citizens.

Much of our efforts here focus on 'field-building': convening people and ideas in
new ways, to open UK conversations about how wealth can be better directed
towards people and planet. In the first part of the year. we established a group
of slrategic partners - organisations and individuals who are asking similar
questions to us, and who represent a vital part of the ecosystem - to whom we
offered core f unding. They included the Good Ancestor Movement (£50,000),
the Impact Investing Institute (£50,000), Share Action (£20,000), Patriotic
Millionaires (£20,000), the Funders Collaborative Hub (£30,000) and the Purpose
Foundation (£50,000). We have also resourced 2 Associates - Iris Brilliant for
her expertise in wealth redistribution and Dimple Abichandani for her expertise
in progressive philanthropy- both of whom are writing books in related areas.
In our home city of York. we soughl to build coalitions around The possibility of
bringing the practices of community weallh building to the city. We co-hosted
(with York St John University) a Fairer Futures event on community ownership
and wealth building which brought in experts in this area as well as practitioners
from other councils who have implemented the approach.

In April we published a new article series on reimagining wealth. The articles
shared the findings from interviews with 25 people working across the finance
system. conducted in summer 2023 with New Constellations. to identify the
levers and interventions needed to shift the finance system in service of people
and planet, and the work already being done in the UK. The main summary
piece lays out the findings, followed by reflections by key collaborators: Creating
global financial systems that volue people and planet (Gemma Mortensen), To
shift wealth, we need to change how we talk about money (Megan Lucero) and
Building a new asset class for people and planet (Emma Shaw).
We continued throughout the year to actively build coalitions and networks with
wealth-holders. The 'Next Frontiers, conference that took place in June was the
most public example of that, attracting around 900 people in person and online.
Less publicly, we developed partnerships with Next Generation wealth holders
and networks interested in shifting their capital into impact. Since March we
have co-hosted events and round tables with:
Resource Transformation (next gen wealth holder networks) in Europe and
Canada to better understand what would support these infrastructures to grow
in their influence
. The Trottier Foundation (Canada) to bring together next gen wealth holders
who are playing new roles related to their family offices to explore both what
the roles are and The F)Otenfial of family off ices as sites of change and influence
CREO, a ne￿Ork of family offices who together have £1 trillion of assets under
management, all of whom are seeking to move their money in service of planet.
We also continued to explore alternative f inance and governance structures
as critical civic infrastructure that can enable communities fo drive systemic
change and transition to regenerative and distributive futures. To do This, we
instigated a new partnership wilh Plafform Places and FOO￿Ork to explore the
financial vehicles needed to scale a transition of asset ownership from private
hands to community asset developers seeking to transform neighbourhoods.
In Sheffield. work progressed exploring the development of civic infrastructure
to enable people across the city to reimagine multiple systems. as well as
how decisions are being made. how capabilities are recognised. and how
capital flows. A core aim of the work is to seek to learn and understand what
the sum impact could be if, through and alongside the development of civic
infrastructure, various transitions across multiple systems such as food,
care, nature, and energy are demonstrated in parallel in a city, and to trial
approaches that can potentially be adapied and replicated elsewhere.
Separately, we concluded in June a 4-part workshop series co-hosted with the
London School of Economics (LSE'S) International Inequalities Institute. Over
80 participants responded to the findings of a JRF-funded literature review on
the effects of frames on the public understanding of, and engagement with,
the topic of wealth inequality. Our aim is to turn this nucleus into a vibrant

community of practice that collaborates on ideas for impactful and ethical
framing and storytelling around wealth.
In September. the Wealth Hackers Initiative. a group of innovators working
in radical wealth planning and investment advisory to dismantle the so-called
Wealth Defence Industry, designed and launched the first Wealth Hackers
Challenge with JRF funding. The purpose was to crowdsource from a global
network the tools, technologies, ideas and innovations that are already moving
money differently. We received 31 submissions - 11 from the UK, 6 from the US,
2 from Belgium and one each from Australia, Canada. Mexico and South Africa.
6 hacks were chosen and awarded £15,000 each to develop their idea further
over a 4-8-week period.

In January we confirmed to all the existing Pathfinder organisations that we
would fund them for the second year of this learning cycle. We added several
new organisations this year as well, including Hastings Commons, Devon
Bioregional Centre, Opus, Library of Things, and the Stour Trust. In 2024,
JRF made financial commitments of £1.2 million to Pathfinder organisations.
As in 2023, we used the pathfinder characteristics we developed to identify
organisations to extend this invitation to; in addition. we sought out work
that would bring 2 specific capabilities that have emerged as significant for
future-building work over this last year. These were active experimentations
with alternative governance models and financial instruments (beyond grant
funding) and stewardship of systemic place-based transformation at the scale
of cities and bioregions.
In the middle of the year, we hosted a 2-day gathering where 10 Pathfinders
met to co-create a new vehicle and governance model for financial resources to
flow towards shared, strategic missions that respond to the polycrisis. Drawing
upon the excellent work of Beyond the Rules, with the Pathfinders, we developed
a form of'many to many governance, and sought legal advice to ensure that
everything being proposed is compatible with the scope of Trustees. current
legal duties.
We also continued to build partnerships with other funders seeking to support
transformative work, including a relationship with major global funder Novo
Foundation who have now co-funded 3 of the Pathfinders. Finally, to support
the movement of resources into this field we commissioned a social ne￿Ork
analysis of the ecosystem of alternative future builders across the UK. The work
revealed a network of around 2,000 organisations engaged in this kind of work.
While the network showed a healthy distribution of nodes and connections, it
also revealed a level of f inancial precarity that underlines how poorly resourced
this kind of system change work can be. The mopping underlined the critical
role that Pathfinder organisations and infrastructure organisations like JRF are
playing. acting as connectors and convenors of this ecosystem

Following 2 scoping reports from Perspectiva and Jo Wells we convened a
decision-making group to identify participants for our prototype Visionaries
programme. The purpose of this programme is to resource a small group of
individuals who are signalling what might be required for deep transformation
in current systems. We plan to ￿source these individuals for a period of 18
months, supporting them through individual funding, as well as convening them
as a group to explore how their practices and thinking might weave together in
ways that tell powerful stories about what it will take to shift our mindsets and
values towards regenerative futures. In total, we received 68 nominations, which
our decision-making group honed down to a final group of 6. The group will be
supported by a ne￿Ork steward, who will work alongside them for the duration
of the programme.
Sti
ma-free futures
Since Ihe start of 2023 JRF has been exploring through a form of cooperative
inquiry The issue of poverty stigma and what to do about it with a diverse
team of external experts nearly all of whom have first-hand experience of
the phenomenon. The first major report from the project team was published
in May: Stigma. the glue that holds poverty in place, generated supportive
coverage in The Big Issue and the Metro, and registered more than 1.000
readers in its first 7 days on the website, a level of interest more commonly
associated with major statistical outputs such as UK Poverty.
We also published accompanying blogs from design team members Heather
Coady and Nkechi Deborah Adeboye, the latter (co-written by JRF staffer Ryan
Heeley) describing how the project has influenced JRF'S own visual portrayals
of poverty. This completes phase l of the work which shares learning and
tentative recommendalions to government, charity sector, and funders. Phase
2 of the work over 2024 involved the design team developing a manifesto with
grassroots organisations led by people affected by injustice. The idea is to test
out whether the shared experience of being stigmatised could be a potential
tool for mobilisation.
The goal is to build a more powerful and larger voice around the issue which can
then be used to act at different levels - embracing the 'coalitional' opprooch
that this project has sought to embody by bringing different forms of expertise
to make change.

to operationalise key pillars of our insight infrastructure and engage target
audiences who we believe will want to harness our data. tools. networks and
plafforms for their own impact. Over the year the team developed tools to help:
Enrich understanding of household income volatility using close to real time
banking data in conjunction with Smort Data Foundry.
Build an up-to-date picture of poverty in London in conjunction with Policy in
Practice, using unpublished local authority administrative data.
Create local level estimates of poverty using open-source administrative

imagination and local government; one looking at imagination and government
innovation; and the last taking a more place-based lens to look at applying
imagination practice in the London borough of Newham. 55 local government
teams from across England and Wales applied to take part.
Alongside these aclion-focused huddles, we curated a speaker series, which
launched in April with an opening conversation be￿een Paul Kissack and Sir
Geoff Mulgan on the topic of imagination in government. This work attracted
Co-funding from a European funder, Arising Quo, enabling us to take an
international perspective on these questions.
In June we previewed the collective imagination toolkit at the annual local
government Stronger Things conference. The toolkit is an online resource which
introduces a range of imagination practices that have been developed by 19
experts from around the world. To mark the moment we also published a special
supplement of the Local Government Chronicle, focused on civic imagination,
with contributions from council leaders and officers, as well as imagination
practitioners. At the official launch in September over 1,100 people from 52
countries registered to join the webinar.
Narrative infrastructure
Following the positive, if overwhelming, response to the pilot fund in 2023 we
launched the Storytellers Fund 2024 in October. With insight and experience
from The first round we adapted our approach, particularly in relation to
managing demand and improving communications. Despite narrowing the
criteria and shortening the application window this year, we again had an
overwhelming response. In the 4-week application window we received 386
submissions from all regions and countries in the UK, with an overall grant
ask of £12.6 million for an available budget of £400,000. We funded 5 exciting
and impacfful projects including plays, podcasts and immersive virtual reality
exhibitions and AI-generated art.
Earlier in 2024 we commissioned cultural strategist Iris Andrews to interview
18 narrative and culture experts about how we might build belief that better
futures are possible. This informed a strategy and a set of experiments we
wanted lo take forward, including Seeds of Hope. a series of 18+ place-
based and experiential commissions stewarded with Work and Class over the
autumn. Each was designed to help people experience new possibilities in their
communities, and to connect to the hope and collective action we know exists.
Collectively they generated over 180 media pieces.
Our joint initiative with Nationwide Foundation, Talking About Homes, continued
to equip stakeholders who have voices in the housing debote to become more
effective stowellers. Our ambition is to provide them with knowledge, skills
and motivation to use a new narrative capably and confidently. Over 2024 we
developed a bank of easy-to-use, practical guides, provided practical framing
guidance through webinars and more in-depth tailored coaching sessions
organisations with particularly large shares of voice.

Ahead of the October Budget a group of more than 60 charities came
together to write publicly to the Chancellor urging her to move away from her
predecessors, stigmatising language around social security. The initiative,
organised by the charity Turn2Us. was sparked by conversations within the
network of organisations working together (with funding from JRF) to push
against negative narratives about social security.
Res
onse to the riots
In the immediate aftermath of the anti-migrant riots JRF agreed a small
package of emergency funding. We thought it important to act speedily. given
the needs arising in real time. Therefore. much in the early stages was slanted
towards existing partners and patterns of funding. with which we are familiar.
and align with our wider strategy. The main elements were: £30.000 from JRF
which joined £10,000 from Civic Power Fund and £20.000 from Paul Hamlyn
Foundation towards an ad hoc fund (administered by Civic Power Fund) that
more than 60 community organisations working with refugees, migrants,
asylum seekers, racialised communities, and other communities facing hate
could draw on quickly in the form of £1,000 emergency grants.
This went towards convening and supporting groups and individuals directly
affected by the violence, as well as to help, to a small degree, to cover financial
shortfalls as groups repurpose their own money to respond to the crisis.
This was complemenled by £25.000 in unrestricted funding to Hope not Hate
to support general running costs around policy and engagement, research,
community organising and education. Given their expertise we suspect they are
going to be an important voice in the debates to come about the role of online
plafforms in fomenting hatred and violence, and any necessary regulations that
should follow.
We also agreed to fund a series of 'deep listening. community conversations
with a range of local and national partners to listen to the views from across
Hartlepool. including those invofved in rioting. and subsequently agreed to
partner with Esmée Fairbairn to develop 'deep listening. exercises in two other
sites, Middlesbrough and Oldham, to understand similarities, differences and
share learning.

How JRF'S activities deliver
public benefil
JRF'S main activities are described above. Our charitable activities focus on
working with others to speed up and support the transition to a future free from
poverty, in which people and planet can flourish.
JRHT'S objectives and activities are all intended to provide a public benefit. This
is achieved through services such as:
the provision of affordable homes in local communities
designing and building new affordable homes
providing care services that are tailored to people's needs, offering residential
and nursing care as well as care within people's homes.
Trustees have had due regard to guidance on public benefit produced by the
Charity Commission and are of the opinion that undertaking these activities
fully meets The requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 201110 deliver
public benefit.
The role of social investments
Since 2015. 50A (currently notionally set at £20 million) of JRF'S endowment has
been allocated to fund sociol investments.
Our social investments are a mix of direct and fund investments, supporting
organisations that further JRF'S overarching mission and strategy to support
the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty.
Social investment spans across JRF'S impact pathways of directional Chonge,
systemic change and infrastructure for chonge. This breadth is illustrated by the
following examples from our work in 2024.
In line with JRF'S focus on specific directional change, we completed an
investment into Ascension Fund III which funds ventures providing solutions
to the cost-of-living crisis for those on below average incomes in the UK.
Another highlight among our porffolio organisations included Lightning Reach
(an online portal which enables individuals in financially vulnerable situations
to access a range of personalised support) attaining 158,000 registered users
and focilitoting their access to £17 million of grants since inception. There was
also recognition for Generation UK'S programmes in an analysis by the DWP'S
Employment Data Lab which found high levels of job placement and retention
for participants in its Skills Bootcamps.
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION
34

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
To contribute to systemic change, we have funded organisations creating
the deeper, more foundational shifts needed for a more equitable and just
future. This includes our investments in Resolution Foundation's Workertech
Partnership and Bellevie Care. both of which aim to foster new models of work
that improve pay and conditions associated with typically low-paid jobs.
We also recognise the need to build much-needed infrastructure for change
in the social investment and wider financial sectors. In 2024 we approved
investments in Ethex, a crowdfunding plafform that democratises access
to impact investing in community and sociol enterprises ond in Foir Tax
Foundation, which promotes high standards of responsible corporate tax
behaviour through its Fair Tax Mark. JRF also provided further funding to
Pathway Fund, the UK'S first impact investment wholesaler dedicated to
catalysing opportunities for black and ethnically minoritised communities
across the UK. We are particularly proud to have funded the launch of
Pathway's groundbreaking First-time Fund Manager Incubator and the initial
cohort of 3 fund management teams.
Alongside meaningful social impact, social investments are also expected
to deliver a modest financial return. However, the overriding purpose of the
commitments is to contribute towards the achievement of JRF'S vision and
mission.
Our investments
From 2015 through 2024, JRF committed £16.5 million to 37 social investments.
The following 33 investments were active as of December 2024, with values
shown reflecting the total original commitment made by JRF. Over the years we
have made social investments aligned with JRF'S current focus areas, from
housing, deep poverty and destitution, to care and work.

Financial review
TRUSTEES, POWERS AND RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have power to spend both income and capital. There are no
restricted or designated reserves and all JRF'S capital is regarded as free
reserves.
OBJECTIVES
JRF'S financial objectives are:
to maintain the level of expenditure on achieving its mission and outcomes
to ensure that the value of JRF capital is maintained in real terms over the
long term.
The Trustees monitor the level of the endowment against the target on a
quarterly basis. The endowment's performance against the long-term target is
the key factor in determining the sustainable level of spending.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND STRATEGY
The majority of JRF'S investments are held as financial investments. although
Trustees have decided to allocate £20 million of the fund for social investments.
of which £11 million was invested at the end of 2024.
The objective for JRF'S financial investments is to maximise the 'total return,
over the long term, subject to not taking undue risk. This 'total return, represents
the combination of changes in capital values and income received. Thus, a
neutral position is taken os to whether a return is received by woy of capital
growth or distribution of income: it is the total which is important.
We have determined that investment in real assets. principally equities.
represents the most appropriate strategy for meeting JRF'S financial and
investment objectives. As the chart below shows, equities account for 90Yo of
the investment portfolio.
Trustees appreciate that this approach will result in short-term volatility in the
market value of the porffolio, but they consider that the organisation's financial
strength ond absence of significant fixed liabilities mean that JRF is able to
withstand such fluctuations. The Investment Committee reviews the asset
allocation policy on at least on annual basis. toking oppropriate professional
advice.
Although the financial investments are designed to maximise returns, at JRF
we believe strongly in investing our funds responsibly. We define 'responsible
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
investment, as an investment approach which is based on the view that the
effective management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues
is not only the right thing to do but is also fundamental to creating value.
We believe that companies that are successful in avoiding ESG risks and/or
capturing ESG opportunities will outperform over the longer term. This longer-
term view is consistent with JRF'S investment time horizon.
JRF seeks to incorporate ESG issues fully in its investment activities. We do this
by:
• including an assessment of the approach to responsible investment in the
selection of Fund Managers and subsequent monitoring of their performance
authorising Fund Managers to exercise the vote with JRF shares in accordan
with agreed policies but subject to an over-ride by JRF in circumstances where
there would be a conflict with JRF'S charitable objectives
within available resources, engaging with companies on ESG issues and also
those issues that are directly relevant to the strategic priorities and work of JRF,
which may be through the Fund Managers or in partnership with other investors
JRF is a member of the Charities Responsible Investment Network.
JRF also follows an ethical investment policy within the overarching theme of
responsible investment. It does not invest in stocks and shares in companies
that are significantly associated with the manufacture of armaments, tobacco,
brewing and gambling. 'Significant' is defined as IO% of either profits or
turnover.

The value of JRF'S investment portfolio reduced by £9 million during 2024. This

fund JRF'S charitable operations, provide revenue support to JRHT to resolve
legacy-related issues and provide a capital grant to JRHT as part of its £50
million commitment to fund the affordable housing development programme.
£46 million of this has been drawn, leaving £4 million ring-fenced in JRF'S
investment porffolio, which is expected to be fully drawn by in the first half of
2025.

Global equity markets performed strongly in 2024, driven by resilient economic
data in the United States, development of artificial intelligence (AI) pushing up
technology enabled company valuations, the stabilisation of interest rates and
global economic recovery. particularly in the Asian region, following COVID-19
legacy restrictions and supply chain issues.
JRF is a long-term investor and does not react to short-term market
movements by making changes to its investment strategy. The year-end
positions held in the balance sheet are after allowing for spending of capital as
shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (see below).
The endowment. which is the value of the investment portfolio less outstanding
liabilities. reduced from £419.8 million to £418.8 million between 31 December
2023 ond 31 December 2024. This is a 0.2% decrease over the year and
remains 1% ahead of JRF'S internal target. This is the primary key performance
indicator for financial performance, although individual investment manager
performance is tracked against agreed benchmarks.

There were notable increases to grant commitments in 2024, compared to
2023, which was driven by increased JRF activity and legacy- related grants to
JRHT, as parl of JRF'S commitment to fund legacy- relaled issues. In addition,
support costs were 19% higher in 2024 compared To the previous year, driven
by an increase in staff headcount across JRF tTeams, higher office costs,
increased travel and subsistence, and additional consultancy and legal fees
associated with the second phase of the Central Services review.
The audited financial statements can be found on the JRF website at www.
jrf.org.uk. The financial statements have also been filed with the Charity
Commission. JRHT'S financial statements can be found at www.jrht.org.uk. As a
Community Benefit Society, these ore filed with the Financial Conduct Authority.
Pensions
Since the end of 2019, JRF has been able to identify its share of assets
and liabilities held within the defined benefit element of the industry-wide
Social Housing Pension Scheme (SHPS). The defined benefit option has been
withdrawn although there remain legacy members. With the availability of
this data from SHPS, JRF has, since 2019, applied defined benefit accounting,
which means that the scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities
on an actuarial basis. At the end of 2024, the fair value of JRF'S proportion of
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION
50

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
scheme assets had decreased to £32.8 million from £33.9 million at the end of
the previous year. Over the same period, the actuarial value of scheme liabilities
decreased to £39.1 million from £42.3 million. The overall impact of these
changes resulted in a decrease of the pension liability from £8.4 million to £6.3
million.
Group Shared Services
JRF and JRHT are both supported by a small number of central teams.
including Technology and Change, HR and Payroll, Accounting Services, Procure

and JRHT'S objeclives through:
provision of operational services that are utilised by both JRF and JRHT.
Examples are payroll and invoice processing.

specialist skills - for example, specialist procurement, and technical finance
support.
Going Concern
The financial statements show that:
At the end of 2024. the charity had investments of £422.0 million compored
with its annual expenditure of £46.1 million.
Unrestricted capital reserves remained relatively flat during the year,
decreasing by £l.O million, to £418.8 million, with investment gains offset
expenditure.
Most of the investment portfolio (97%) is invested in eosily tradeable assets. As
such, these funds are relatively easy to access.
. The charity has no debt.
In December 2024, JRF'S Trustees formally approved the charity's budget for
2025. Separately, the amount of cash required to fund activities over the year
wos calculated and arrangements were put in place to liquidate investments.
Provisional calculations have also been prepared for 2026 (with indicative
expenditure figures calculated up to 2029) to ensure there is sufficient liquidity
within the porffolio. The arrangements with investment managers allow The
amounts scheduled to be drawn down to be reduced or increased at short
notice should cash requirements change.
Despite JRF'S significant investment holdings, management has:
produced a stressed cash-flow forecast to test that, in all situations, JRF will
have access to sufficient liquid funds to meet its commitments
satisfied itself that it will continue to be possible to draw funds down from its
investment portfolio even in a stressed scenario.

JRHT undertook its own scenario analysis to understand the financial impacts
of adverse changes to the external and internal environment. In addition, an
assessment has been undertaken to understand how extreme scenarios would
need to become before covenants were breached. This shows that there would
need to be a very significant deterioration in performance to breach the interest

At the end of the financial year, JRHT had unused borrowing facilities of £50
million. All of the total unused facilities relate to a loan facility with JRF and this

Based on the above. Trustees are of the opinion that the Group has adequate
resources to continue to operate without disruption for the foreseeable future.

Plans for the future
JRF
December 2024 marked the end of our initial 2-year leaming journey following
the adoption of a reframed mission and Trustees affirmed then the obligation it
creates for us to pose more radical questions about what it will take to reshape
the political economy and support o deeper transition.
As part of this process, we refined our impact pathways further and will from
this point be reporting progress under 3 new headings:
Shifting the terms of the debate
Our insight. policy and advocacy programmes focus on destabilising dominant
systems by shining o light on the ways that they- and the assumptions that
underpin Ihem - are increasingly failing people and planet. We propose credible
policy ideas that challenge views on what is possible, bridge to new norms
and catalyse effective coalitions to make them a reality. The common theme
across this work is household economic security; its constituent parts (including
the worst forms of poverty and hardship), its dynamics and drivers, and its
relationships with the wider economy.
Supporting and shielding the new
We believe that practical examples of real-world altematives can drive real
change. Whether that be new models for delivering public goods or different
operating systems (such as forms of contracts, investment vehicles and
governonce frameworks) thot resist the economic status quo in favour of a
more democratic approoch to the ownership and management of assets.
wealth ond ideas.
We are therefore making sizeable commitments to resourcing an emerging
ecology of organisations working in this vein, through a combination of
unrestricted funding, help accessing other important sources of financial,
intellectual and relational support, the provision of tools to capture and share
insights, and other f ield-building initiatives.
Simultaneously we ore committed to creating less hostile environmental
conditions for this work. by building new institutional capacities and
capabilities, creating new resource flows and fostering the mindset shifts
needed to mainstream the ideas represented in the field.

Building infrastructure for the transition
As a relatively wealthy, independently endowed foundation, we have a
responsibility to enable many others who broadly share our aims to advance
their efforts. Our insight infrastructure programme is designed to simplify and
democratise access to high-quality data on poverty - transforming knowledge
into meaningful action against injustice and inequality.
We are also resourcing efforts to grow the capacities and capabilities needed
for deep system change. Our movements work aims to strengthen grassroots
organising in the UK. especially where it Is led from FJOSitions of marginality. And
we nurture work that is supporting system change through tackling issues that
are below the surface: backing work that unlocks shifts in mindsets. in cultural
narratives and in the 'hidden wiring. that keeps the status quo in ploce.
What we aim to do in 2025
A new approach to our endowment
In October 2024. Trustees agreed to a new approach to our endowment, with
an infenlion to put all our wealth in service to our mission over time - through
a combinalion of increased spending and mission-aligned investment. and,
in time, moving some of the endowment into emerging new transformative
investment. Putting more mission-aligned investing into practice will take time,
but during 2025 we will..
Establ ish the governance needed to oversee the Endowment Strategy work
during the initial phases of the work ond the transition to any new structures
and arrangements needed in the longer term (first half of 2025).
Work to an interim financial objective, agreed by Trustees in December 2024,
of 'JRF's mission is to support and speed up the transition to a more equitable
and just future, free from poverty, where people and planet can flourish. Its
primary objective is to invest JRF capital in service of this mission. A mission
'lens' will therefore be applied first in exploring new investment opportunities.
In parallel to this, JRF trustees and delegated authorities/committees are
responsible for monitoring and managing the charivs finances to ensure
the long-term success of its mission. Balancing the commitment to mission-
aligned investments with the need for liquidity in the endowment and honouring
financial commitments to programmes. workers and subsidiaries is of equal
importance..
Develop a new Investment Policy and Strategy and a refreshed Social
Investment Policy to incorporate a framework for blended finance.
Empower the Investment Committee to explore the possibility of making early
moves in line with the new strategy - applying a mission-first lens and moving
some wealth towards more mission-aligned approaches during 2025.
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION

Build in-house capacity. Build the teams we need to support Trustees and
implement the new endowment strategy, with a more 'hands-on' approach to
investment. Building links to the Transforming Wealth Lab work to strengthen
the innovations we are backing to our own practice.
Shifting the terms of the debate
2025 will see an evolution of existing programmes. with a refreshed goal of
demonstrating the links between economic and social policy. To that end we
will double down and thicken out our work on household economic security: its
consliluent parts, its dynamics and drivers, and its relationships with the wider
economy. Specifically, this will mean:
Spotlighting the links be￿een the personal and social dimensions of economic
security and growth. Using the window prior to the Comprehensive Spending
Review and working through the prism of pre-existing policy recommendations
around care, social security and energy.
Agreeing clear outcome statements across all 4 dimensions of economic
security. Establishing a sel of clear design principles and Theories of change for
achieving them.
Developing 3-4 new major 'stretch' policy propositions, in line with the
principles agreed (above) to act as vehicles for securing change.
Continuing to build support for the Essentials Guarantee and lobbying for
meaningful action on hardship and deep poverty.
Funding external campaigns that are aligned with our policy objectives and
provide the opportunity to move the public and political debate.
Scoping a programme of real-world pilots and demonstrations.
Refreshing our public affairs and media strategies to account for shifts in the
external landscape.
In 2025. the focus will be on linking economic and social policies to enhance
household economic security through policy propositions. pilots. campaigns.
and medio strategies.
Supporting and shielding the new
Over 2025 we will continue to support and shield pioneers who are building
alternative futures across a range of domains including housing, land and
ownership: economic justice and wealth. health and healing. arts. culture and
community development, and connect these efforts to our wider engagement
with regime actors. to support efforts to mobilise around system change.
Specifically. this means:
Providing stabilisation funding to sustain and support the ne￿ork.
JOSEPH RowKfREE FOUNDATION
56

Docus¥n Envelope ID". OC195184-D36NB8CACCW9A*7A2FA3
Designing a new unfurling fund to enable the flow of further funding to grow
the ecosystem.
Deepening and sharing our learning to demonstrate how others holding
power/wealth can support syslem change efforts through their own work.
Deepening connections between different niches and building bridges to
regime actors. Enhancing the power and resilience of the whole, consolidating
and aggregating multiple niche experiments and strengthening the common
voice. Growing our role as an effective intermediary between the pioneering
work we are resourcing. and those operating within incumbent systems,
focusing in particular in the domains of housing and wealth.
A specific focus on wealth and the finance system. Creating the Transforming
Wealth Lab to deliver the market-shaping and field-building work required to
rewire how and where wealth flows in service of JRF'S mission.
. A specific focus on our home city and region. Drawing on JRF'S own - and
the wider region's - rich history, to nurture and resource a ne￿Ork of pioneers
building regenerative futures. Supporting those operating within current
institutions to comprehend and act towards bigger and deeper systemic issues.
Building infrastructure for transition
An important assumption in our strategy is that reshaping the political economy
will not happen without brijad-based, social movements pushing for change, as
well the imaginative and visionary capacities to do so, and insights into how the
current systems operate. We will continue to invest in infrastructure we believe
can support work towards system change:
As part of a new 5-year £5 million funding programme, we will move money
to grassroots social activists through intermediaries, and to some of the
infrastructure organisations they depend on. We will continue to financially back
those developing the UK narrative change field. We will explore what JRF might
do over the medium term to support more effective movement leadership,
with a particular focus on confronting the cultural and practical barriers that
obstruct collaboration be￿een grassroots and national movement leaders.
We will conclude our learning cycle on understanding the capacities required
to support the transition. Specifically. seeding new practices to grow hope and
belief in betler futures. how to reimagine leadership in times of complexity. and
how to grow capacities in communities to lead transitions.
Our insight infrastructure will continue to work on 4 tracks: improving and
linking existing data. unlocking new data sources, creating the social fabric
needed for those working on this transition to work together: learning from each
other and break down siloes. and democratising access to and use of the data
we produce.

Organisational change
Supporting that work, during 2025, we will also:
. Work with the ARC and Trustees to ensure our approach to resourcing
Emerging Futures work manages risk well, while also honouring the intent of the
work and our JRF principles - shielding small organisations from unmanageable
risk and sharing power through creative ecosystem governance (for example,
mony-to-many governance).
Use the evolved 3-track framework (Shifting the terms of debate. Supporting
and shielding the new: Building infrastructure for transition) to develop a
clearer approach fo describing our contribution to mission in each track- all
with a stronger focus on system change. We will develop clearer indicators
and measures for judging success and failure, to be agreed with Trustees, and
reported regularly.
We will continue to implement our People and Culture plan. embedding the
Employee Value Proposition and focusing work on Reward, Management
Development. Organisation Development and recruiting a permanent People
Team for JRF.
We will offer more internal training and development opportunities to build
confidence around equitable practice.
JRHT
JRHT'S plans are very much centred upon progressing our core objectives
of decent, affordable homes and well-managed communities, high quality,
continuously improving services, a sustainable and engaging organisation and
exploring new directions for our care services.
This means that as we progress towards building and acquiring new, high-
quality and eff icienl, affordable homes we will continue to invesl in our
eslablished communities to ensure they meet the safety and decency standards
that residents have to come to expect. Underpinning our journey will be a strong
commitment to engagement with residents and colleagues.
As we look ahead, the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) is dedicated
to evolving ond expanding our services to meet the changing needs of our
residents. colleagues and communities.
Through these efforts, JRHT is poised to make investments and deliver services
that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

Key environmental impacts
The primary factor in relation to environmental impact is the combustion of gas
for heating purposes across the estate. The vehicle fleet was responsible for less
than 5% of the total annual emissions for the Group. In 2025 we will focus on:
Developing an appropriate method and proposing a budget to be able to
accurately measure consumption, enabling the identification of any excessive
usage and forward action planning across the JRF estate
Undertaking a PV audit of JRHT existing assets and recovery of lost tariff
income
Applying for Heat Network Efficiency Scheme government funding for fully
funded surveys of heat networks at Hartfields and Plaxton Court
Upgrading of lighting to LED and renewing gas boilers on a break-fix basis.
Quantification and reporting methodology
In preparing this SECR reFJort, the Group has followed the 2019 UK Government
Environmental Reporting Guidelines to include Streamlined Energy and Carbon
Reporting Guidance.
The information used was gathered from energy bills from the current supplier
for The fuel type specified. Where only unaligned estimated meter readings
were available, the consumption for the period was determined by dividing the
number of units by the billing period and multiplying by period for the data
collection. This figure was checked for accuracy to consider additional seasonal
use where data was not available and ensure the estimates were an accurate
reflection of actual consumption.
Some aspects of the GHG Protocol Value Chain (Scope 3) have also reported
although we are not yet able to report on all categories that may be relevant.
UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (2024) have
been used.
Organisational boundary
The Group has reported on all sources of environmental impact over which it
has financial control. An organisation has financial control over an operation if
it has the ability to direct the financial and operating policies of the operation
with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement set out on
page 63. the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company
for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing
the group and the parent charitable company's ability to continue a5 a going
concern. disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going concern and using
the going-concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to
liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or
have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtoin reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of Ihese financial
statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and
regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that
are applicable to The charity, and the sector in which it operates. We determined
that the following laws and regulations were most significant. financial
reporfing legislation (Charities SORP (FRS102), United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice including Financial Reporting Standard 102). The
engogement team remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance
with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
We understood how the Charity is complying with these legal and regulatory
requirements by making inquiries of management. internal audit and those
charged with governance. We enquired of management and those charged with
governance whether there were any instances of non-compliance with laws and
regulations, or whether they had knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. We

minutes and trustee meeting minutes, papers provided to the Audit and Risk
Committee and through our review of Legal and Professional Expenditure.
To assess the potential risks of material misstatement. including how a fraud
might occur, we obtained an understanding of:
o The Charity's operations, including the nature of its sources of income,
expected financial statement disclosures and risks that may result in risk of
material misstatement. and
o The Charity's control environment, including the adequacy of procedures
for authorisation of transactions.
Audit Pr￿edureS performed by the engagement team included:
o Evaluating the process and controls established to address the risks related
to irregularities and fraud-
o Testing manual journal entries, in particular journal entries relating to
management estimates and entries determined to be unusual.
o Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its
significant accounting estimates.
o Identifying and resting related party transactions. and
o Completion of audit procedures to conclude on the compliance of
disclosures in the financial statements with applicable financial reporting
requirements.
. These audii procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance
that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of nol
detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not
detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from
fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that resuif from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and
regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements,
the less likely we would become aware of it.
. We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to
all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud,
or non-compliance wilh laws and regulations, throughout the audil.
We assessed the appropriateness of the collective competence and
CQF)obilities of the engagement team, including consideration of the
engagement team's knowledge and understanding of the sector in which
the Charity operates, and their practical experience through training and
participation on audits of a similar nature. All team members are qualified
accountants. or working towards their qualifications. and are considered to
have sufficient knowledge and experience of companies of a similar size and
complexity. relative to their role within the team.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Icontinuedl
Slgnlficant PAanag•ment Judgamants
The following are the signfficanl management judgements made In applying the accounting policies of JRF that have the most
significant effect on the finanoal ststements
Judgements
lil Timing of grant eommitments
Msnagement eslirnates the vslue of grant commitments payable within one year by looking at the average exp8nditure over previous
yesrs and applying this as 8 wrcentage to the year end creditor. Since expenditure varies from year to year this represents an
estimate of sums due. Tha liabilty at 31 December 2024 due within one year was £5,050,000 and more th8n one ye8r was
£470,000.
1111 Impalm)ont
As part of JRHTS continuous review of the performan￿ of 8ssets, management identify any properties or schemes that have
increasing void losses, are impacted by policy changes or whar8 the decision has been made to disposa of these prowrties. These
factors are considered to be an indication of impairrnent.
whe￿ there Is an Indication of Impairment, the assets a￿ written down to the ￿COVerable amount and any Impairment losses a
Charged to operating surpluses. Management ¢onsiéer there to be no indicators of impaiment In either 2024 or 2023.
liiil Meryer Accounting
Management. having reviewed the true and fair override Impliot in tt)e Charities SORP. Considered it appropriate to p￿pare the
rinancial statements on a merger accounting basis when the Group began operating on 1 January 2020.
Estimation Uncertainty
Information at>out estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on ￿COgnitiOn and Measu￿rnent of assets,
liabilitie$, income and expenditure is provided below. A¢tually results may be diffe￿nt
lil Usefvl lives of depreciable assets
Management ￿VieWS its estimate of the usefu1 lives of depreciable assets at ea¢h reporting date based upon the expeded utility of
the assets. Un¢ertaintiès in these e$timates ￿late to te¢hnological obsoles¢en¢e that may change the utility of ￿rtain software and
IT equipment, housing property a8sets which are split Into different components that are depreciated using different useful economic
live8 requiring estimation and the useful economic life of office buildings. Group accumulated depreciation at 31 December 2024
wa$ £46.685.00012023.' £42.105.0001. Parent a￿UmUlated depreciation at 31 December 2024 was £2.493,00012023.. £2.054,0001.
lill Retirement Benefits
S¢heme assets are measU￿d at fair value. S¢heme liabilities are measured on an aduarial basis using the proie¢ted unrt credit
method and are discounted at appropriate high quality Corporate bond rates.
As al the yesr ended 31 December 2024, the net defined benefit liability in respect of SHPS-DB was £6,280,000 which has ￿en
recognised In full in the balan￿ sheet. The movement in the Scherne deficit is charged or credited to the actuarial gain or loss
reported on the fa￿ of the ststement of financial activities.
Management review the assumptions applied to the actuarial valuation each year and consider the sensitivity of the valuation to the
variables Ihereon. The independent actuary appointed to V81ue the schemes as8ets and liabilities e81im8tes that a 0.3OA shift in the
discount rate could result in an increase in the overall deficit. amounting lo £1.40m. Similarly. a 1¥0 increase in pay inflation above
actuarial assumption8 would incre88e the overall deficit by £0.05m and a rise in general inflation of 0.30A more than that assumed
results in an increased dèficit of £1.1 m. M8nagement is comfortable that the assumptions it has used are appropriate for usa in
calculating the scheme's defi￿t.
liiil Recovery of Social Investment
Management have induded social investments at their book cost 01 market value (where there is a reliable sourcel les5 any
provisions and revaluations. Social Investments that are loan5 are accounted for at the outstanding amount of the loan less any
provision for unrecoverable amounts. Unquoted equity or bonds, 50C131 Investment funds and p3rtner5hips. and similar social
investments are held at cost. less any provision for diminution In value, unless JRF Is able to obtain a reliable estimate of fair value.
Judgements on ￿liable estimate takes on a range of fa¢tors Induding availability of independent verification of tt)e underlying
holdings, re(tnt entrants to and exists from funds.
For the year ended 31 December 2024, the value of social investments net of new provisions of £409.000 and revaluations in the
year of £410,000. was £11.146,000. Management has assumed that social invesknenls will be fully recoverable unless, through
routine monitrjring, there is evidence of impairment.
