## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 

## For the year ended 31 December 2024 

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT 

The Valesco Foundation ("TVF" or "the Foundation") is the independent corporate charitable foundation of The Valesco Group ("Valesco"). The purposes and objects of the Foundation are to advance for public benefit such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time. 

## GRANT MAKING POLICY 

Grant making is the main way that TVF carries out its purposes. The Trustees expect grants will achieve public benefit by making grants to charities who themselves will also be subject to the public benefit requirement. In the rare event grants are made to bodies which are not registered as charities, the Foundation will expect the funded work to be for public benefit and not for private profit. 

The Foundation therefore considers grants for public benefit to charities registered in the UK and for other charitable purposes in the UK and in other countries that meet these purposes. 

The four charitable purposes of focus for the year ended 31 December 2024 were: 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

The advancement of education 

2 The prevention or relief of poverty 

3 

The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or the promotion of religious or racial harmony or equality and diversity

## ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT 

In 2024, TVF continued to advance its mission of supporting underserved communities, promoting social mobility, and backing grassroots organisations effecting long-term change. Our grant-making, fundraising and volunteering efforts were directed at charities aligned with these aims, delivering tangible public benefit across the UK. Across all our partnerships, The Valesco Foundation continues to prioritise collaboration, long-term impact and active engagement. We are proud that our support goes beyond financial contributions – we invest our time, skills and network to help our grantees grow sustainably. 

## Hand on Heart Charitable Trust 

Hand on Heart was established in 2007 to serve rough sleepers, vulnerable groups and the disadvantaged by providing them with essential items and vital services. They now serve **30+ locations** across the UK and have **500+ volunteers.** Hand on Heart have several annual campaigns through which they distribute essential items, including the twice-yearly **Winter Warmer Campaign,** where their volunteers assemble and distribute much-needed packs (including items such as hoodies, thermals, gloves, deodorant, toothpaste and first aid items) to those without homes across London and other locations such as Birmingham, Manchester, Luton and Brighton. 

This grant enabled Hand on Heart to purchase their first vehicle – **the HOPE (Help One Person Everyday) van.** In its first year, the van travelled over **30,000 miles,** delivering more than **8,400 essential care packs** to rough sleepers and vulnerable individuals across 30+ UK locations. 

Described as a **“game-changer”** by the charity, the van has significantly expanded their reach, particularly in Northern England where previously multiple weekends or volunteer teams were required, the van now allows for multiple distributions over a single weekend. 

The Valesco team further contributed time and energy by assembling care packs and participating in **several distribution events** in 2024, including during **The Big Help Out.** 



On behalf of Hand on Heart Charitable Trust, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generous grant allocation. Your support is truly transformative and will enable us to further our mission, ensuring that we continue to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve. At HoH Charitable Trust, our vision is for a fairer society – one where the vulnerable find stability, rough sleepers maintain their dignity, the most excluded feel included, and homelessness is eradicated. We also want to express our appreciation for the handson involvement of your team. Seeing you join us for the Charing Cross distributions at each campaign, actively serving those in need, is both refreshing and inspiring. Your willingness to engage directly with our outreach efforts speaks volumes about your dedication to making a real difference.”

## Patchwork Foundation 


Patchwork Foundation is a UK-based charity committed to strengthening democracy. Founded in 2012, they encourage the positive integration of underrepresented, disadvantaged and minority communities into British political society. One of the ways they achieve this integration is their **Masterclass Programme,** which is a yearly programme aimed at young adults, involving a series of Masterclass sessions and events with influential political figures, mentorship and training courses, culminating in a graduation ceremony at Downing Street. 

In its third year of partnership with Patchwork Foundation, TVF co-sponsored the 2024 Masterclass Programme, supporting **100 young adults** from underrepresented communities. The programme delivered training, mentoring  and political education sessions, with **86% of participants** reporting increased confidence in securing employment in their chosen fields. 

TVF’s involvement extended beyond funding. TVF’s Chairman Shiraz Jiwa delivered the **keynote** at the induction event, two team members served as mentors, and our staff collectively attended **10 Patchwork events** throughout the year. 

Valesco has been one of our most inspiring partners. Beyond their generous financial support, they have demonstrated a genuine commitment to empowering young people through hands-on involvement – providing mentoring, masterclasses, and skills sessions directly to our Patchworkers. Their support extends to our executive team, offering invaluable guidance and expertise whenever needed. Valesco exemplifies what true partnership looks like: engaged, collaborative, and unwavering cheerleaders for our mission to develop the next generation of leaders.”

## The 93% Club 

The 93% Club is the **largest network** of stateschool-educated people in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2016, they exist to dismantle the class inequality that exists in Britain today through the power of community. By bringing together thousands of like-minded individuals across the country through their **50+ university clubs,** regular events, university clearing support, social media campaigns and professionals’ network, they are breaking down the structural barriers to social mobility and building a future that’s fairer for the next generation. 

In 2024, the charity reported a **98% increase** in income, growing from **0.5 to 7 full-time staff,** and attributed this momentum in part to TVF’s backing. Our grant funded the appointment of a Head of Community, who oversaw delivery of **520 campus events,** support for nearly **17,000 students,** and the expansion of the alumni network, now generating a consistent five-figure monthly stream of unrestricted funding. 

TVF was proud to be the **first corporate donor** to The 93% Club, a decision that not only provided crucial early-stage funding but also unlocked additional support from funders who may have otherwise hesitated. 


I want to say a huge thank you for being one of the first corporate donors to support the Club. Your funding helped us to hire a Head of Community into the team and I cannot express how much of a game-changer it has been to have her leading our communities. Thanks to her, we have been able to upskill our student leaders on the ground, enabling them to deliver 520 events on campus last year (up from 385 in 2023, and totalling more than 1 a day!). Your funding also provided credibility to the charity, enabling us to attract those funders who are not comfortable with being first movers. Thank you for believing in us before others could, we will always be grateful for that.”

OTHER CHARITABLE INITIATIVES AND FUNDRAISING EFFORTS THAT TVF SUPPORTED IN 2024: 

## Carers Network 

Four Valesco employees participated in the Royal Parks Half Marathon, raising funds for Carers Network, with TVF match-funding contributions. Carers Network were one of TVF’s first grantees back in 2022, and they support **7,000+ unpaid carers** lead healthy fulfilling lives, with a range of practical, personal and financial support, suited to their needs. The funds raised were used to recruit a part-time Volunteer Co-ordinator, enhancing the charity’s ability to support carers across London. 



## Lupus UK 

In a team-led initiative, Valesco staff organised a pizza sale at our offices, raising money for Lupus UK, a charity especially close to the heart of one of the employees. With TVF’s match-funding, the money raised has been used to support individuals living with lupus across the UK. 



What sets Valesco apart is how seamlessly the Group and Foundation work together to drive real social impact. Through inspiring partnerships with charities like Hand on Heart and the Patchwork Foundation, I’ve seen first-hand how our team – from junior members to board members – actively supports social mobility through mentoring, masterclasses and volunteering. It’s rare to feel this connected to purpose in a corporate setting, and it’s something I truly value."

- In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. 

- Every charity trustee must be a natural person. 

- No individual may be appointed as a charity trustee of the CIO:

   - if he or she would automatically cease to hold office under the provisions of clauses 13(1)(e) or 13(1)(f). 

- No one is entitled to act as a charity trustee whether on appointment or on any re-appointment until he or she has expressly acknowledged, in whatever way the charity trustees decide, his or her acceptance of the office of charity trustee. 

- At least one of the trustees of the CIO must be 18 years of age or over. If there is no trustee aged at least 18 years, the remaining trustees may only act to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.

## RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT 

As the charity Trustees of the Foundation, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Foundation’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

## For the year ended 31 December 2024 

## 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

The Valesco Foundation is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1194039. The principal address is 25 Berkeley Square , London , W1J 6HN. 

## 2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## 2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## 2.2. Going Concern Disclosure 

## Going Concern 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## 2.3. Significant judgements and estimations Change of accounting policy 

The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies adopted. 

## Changes to accounting estimates 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. 

## Material prior year errors 

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. 

## 2.4. Fund Accounting Funds structure 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the Trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. 

## 2.5. Incoming Resources Income recognition 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations, are recognised when the Foundation has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## 2.6. Resources Expended Support costs 

The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. 

## Expenditure recognition 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. 

## 2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts. 

## 2.8. Offsetting 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP.
