OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

PURPOSES

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s articles of association are to:

1. To advance education and relieve unemployment, in particular but not exclusively amongst persons of African ancestry living in the UK in such ways as the trustees think fit including: providing mentoring, assisting with access to further education or the workplace, providing workshops, seminars, work placements, providing and assisting in the provision of arts and language study opportunities and the provision of grants and bursaries.

2. To promote good physical and mental health, in particular but not exclusively amongst persons of African ancestry living in the UK in such ways as the trustees think fit including through the provision of information, advice, access to sporting activities and other support including financial support.

3. The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability or financial hardship in particular but not exclusively amongst persons of African ancestry living in the UK in such ways as the trustees think fit.

MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER OUR PURPOSES

materials, which were shared with the Dress for Success Greater London client population.

In addition to the above we participated in a donation drive for Lewisham Food Bank delivering c.200 pounds of food and necessities for those in need during the pandemic.

HOW OUR ACTIVITIES FURTHER OUR PURPOSES AND BENEFIT THE PUBLIC

During the year our directly delivered services reached approximately 50 women ages 21 to 65. The women were coming from disadvantaged backgrounds due to unemployment or other hardship. The main purpose of our workshops was to increase participant’s confidence and capacity to pursue next steps in career advancement and independence.

At each workshop we conducted satisfaction surveys measuring the quality of the content and overall satisfaction with the events. It was with great pleasure that we received 100% satisfaction with our workshop content with over 90% rating the workshops as excellent or equivalent.

Achievements against objectives set

current environment, scaling our support from focusing on ongoing support of 20 women participating in the Dress for Success Greater London - Professional Women’s Group, to providing service to a wider audience of unemployed and furloughed women. We ultimately supported 50 women during the period with our service offering.

Our work with youth was placed on pause during the year due to restrictions in accessing schools and contact with students.

7

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity plans to refocus its strategic partners next year to deliver our services to a more targeted group of individuals, specifically university students and recent graduates in need of support gaining access to employment. As restrictions ease, we are hoping to resume our work with young people. This evolution in our programming reflects the disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on the lives of young people from communities of colour and less affluent backgrounds. Prior to the pandemic, graduates in black and minority ethnic groups were reported as nine percentage points less likely to be in full-time employment just over a year after leaving higher education than white graduates, according to the analysis from High Education Statistics Agency (HESA). In April 2021, Office for National Statistics (ONS) data showed that 41.6% of black youth aged 1624 were unemployed, the highest level since 2008.

In line with our charitable objectives to advance education and relieve unemployment, in particular but not exclusively amongst persons of African ancestry living in the UK,members, the chapter will be able to directly target a population of Black students addressing their the London (UK) Chapter has sought to address the needs of the Black student population at Queen Mary University by fostering a partnership with the student African and Caribbean Society (ACS). Through the relationship with the ACS which has over 200 specific needs based on research within the population.

London (UK) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated has earmarked funding for additional programming which will 1) coach students to interview for work experience and full time employment opportunities, 2) building awareness in the areas of managing personal finances 3) support for managing stress and promoting mental health and 4) providing financial support to students in need.

We will also continue to partner with Dress for Success Greater London in delivering its Transit Forward programme, which supports vulnerable and disadvantaged young women exiting University with gaining the confidence and practical skills required to begin their careers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Our work is reliant on donations from our members, the public, and corporate sponsors. During the period, we received donations of over £27,000.

PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES

Our principal funding source is donations from our members, in the form of membership dues. Membership dues are calibrated to cover our operational expenses. This year we also received our first corporate donation from Finsbury Glover Hering.

The new virtual environment has presented other opportunities to fundraise as a result we were able to continue to fundraise through members of the public.

PERFORMANCE OF FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AGAINST OBJECTIVES SET

During the year, face-to-face restrictions required a shift in our fundraising to virtual formats and continued direct donations from volunteers. The bulk of our individual donations were obtained through volunteer contributions. Additionally, the charity held an online coaching fundraiser for professional women facilitated by executive coach Madeline McQeen, entitled Making YOU Count in 2020.

We are also extremely grateful to our corporate sponsor for the calendar year 2021, who contributed a donation of £15000, which was received in December 2020.

RESERVES POLICY

The charity’s trustees have considered the necessity of reserves for the charity. In light of the risks to the London (UK) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, the trustees agreed that reserves must be kept to ensure we can continue to meet our charitable objectives during times of fluctuating income.

Since operating expenses are largely covered by membership dues, which are paid annually, the trustees based the reserve need on 12 months of operating

9

expenditure in a scenario where there are fewer members. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves for our coverage period would be £4,500. This level will enable the charity to continue our activities in the event of a significant drop in funding. As we build resilience over time, an annual contingency of £500 will be set to bolster the reserves. In the event that the financial year ends in surplus, the funds carried forward will be transferred to the reserves for the following financial year.

financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet and of incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. The Management Committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustee’s report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees
