It is not enough to just grant money to a charity; we need to see and measure how it has improved an individual’s life chances.

It is not enough to just grant money to a charity; we need to see and measure how it has improved an individual’s life chances. Page 4 Annual Report 2022 **2022 Stats Stats at a glance** **We are committed to continually measuring our own performance and achievements to ensure our impact remains as significant as possible.** By continuing to develop the most relevant Key Performance indicators for the Access Foundation, both internally and for benchmarking against industry best practice, we will ensure we work towards our goal of becoming recognised as a world class charitable foundation.

**In total we awarded 25 grants across our 3 pillars 16 6 3 Digital Divide Charity of the Year** Organisations that assist in the mitigation Charities who have been selected or of the digital divide, by supporting shortlisted as The Access Group charities disadvantaged and vulnerable people of the year, past or present, with specific through digital education and resources, projects or activities. **Staff Sponsored** Organisations that a member of staff of The Access Group has experienced significant support from (either for themselves or a close relative). Organisations that assist in the mitigation of the digital divide, by supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable people through digital education and resources, Page 6 Annual Report 2022 ## **8 Sectors Covered** ## **Sectors of charitable causes recieved our funding** Higher Education: 3 Physical Health: 5 Homeless: 3 Primary Education: 1 Local Community: 7 Prison: 1 Mental Health: 3 Secondary Education: 2 ## **World-Class Efficiency** 0% 100% **2% 98%** **Amount spent on Amount given to Overheads Graduates** 1 Day 31 Days **25 17 Days taken to Days taken to pay Approve Grant an invoice** Page 7 Annual Report 2022 # **How our grants impact different disadvantaged backgrounds** **We pride ourselves on considering a clear, but also broad definition of ‘disadvantage’ when it comes to the digital divide.** This has helped us to award grants which help people from many different types of disadvantaged backgrounds. Page 8 Annual Report 2022 ## **Economic** For those suffering with economic deprivation, the foundation has helped Mustard Tree and The Big League. A digital education programme for the disadvantaged and homeless was made possible with a £43,000 grant to the charity Mustard Tree. 1,803 people have benefited from this project, not only through the skills they acquired but also from increased confidence and the ability to find work. This is especially important for vulnerable citizens that struggle with social isolation as a greater sense of connection and belonging is created. The grant for The Big League has also seen huge success in creating a digital suite for underprivileged people suffering with digital exclusion and lacking in digital confidence. The space is also utilized by multiple community organisations that confront the root causes of poverty and support citizen’s needs. As a result, the digital suite has become a valued space within the community hub for many deprived areas in Hartlepool. ## **Social** We believe social mobility is important for achieving equality within society, no matter one’s background. Therefore, we paired up with Loughborough, Aston and Birkbeck Universities to provide scholarships for 22 students wishing to study courses in Computer Science, Cybersecurity and IT management for Business. After Aston University received the donation of £120,000, the head of department for computer science Jo Lumsden said “The award from the Access Foundation will allow more students to enrol with us; it will have such a profound impact on many young lives, and, by extension, those around them. We look forward to working with the Access Foundation on this life-changing scholarship programme.” This perfectly summarises what a great impact the donation has had for many new students, and we are delighted to be able to help more people get involved in an industry we are passionate about. ## **Physical** In order to help those at a physical disadvantage, the Access Foundation granted money to Berkshire Vision to support a project that aimed to improve digital skills of visually impaired adults in Berkshire. In order to help those at a physical disadvantage, the Access Foundation granted money to Berkshire Vision to support a project that aimed to improve digital skills of visually impaired adults in Berkshire. Overv 300 people gained invaluable independence and confidence thanks to this project. Moreover, many of the 300 revealed that it had considerably reduced their feelings of isolation which is crucial for maintaining good mental health. Page 9 Annual Report 2022 ## **Age** The young and the old can also struggle with being technologically literate and need some guidance to help make use of digital resources. ## **Mental** Mental wellbeing affects all aspects of a person’s life. Therefore, the Foundation decided on choosing 4Louis as one of the staff sponsored charities, to help those who have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth and assist in the recovery process from this traumatic event. The £3,500 donation paid for room hire, refreshments and goody bags for the quarterly 4Louis National Midwifery Forum in Manchester (an inspiring event where 120 midwives and health care assistants assemble to share experiences and advice with bereaved families). ## **Prison** The use of effective rehabilitation systems for people in prison can greatly improve their life chances on release. Unfortunately, the prison environment hinders inmates from being able to effectively learn and gain qualifications. To minimise this problem, £27,000 was given to DWRM, a charity which facilitates access to higher education for prisoners. The money from our foundation has been used to acquire 25 specially certified Chromebooks for inmates so they don’t have to rely on the limited printed paper resources available. Thanks to this funding, we have opened the opportunity to apply for professional and financially sustainable employment to 50 people that would have otherwise struggled to find similar level work when released. The young and the old can also struggle with being technologically literate and need some guidance to help make use of digital resources. Early years Education is a key step for social mobility, statistics show that by age 11 if their early learning is adversely affected a student is 9 months behind in their attainment and students never recover. This year, Learning with Parents made use of £53,000 to start development of a password-less app which allows 8,000 families of primary school aged children to easily access learning ideas. These ideas are then used in off-line settings to help their children whose education suffered during the Covid-19 lockdown. Additionally, £25,000 was given to a digital inclusion project – the Digibus. Based in Gloucestershire and run by IT Schools Africa, the bus prioritises deprived areas with the lowest internet usage and has helped 1,700 visitors in gaining essential digital skills. It is fully equipped with computers, laptops, tablets and even a 3D printer, robotics, and a virtual reality system. The Access Foundation was eager to facilitate such a project as it combines improving digital skills, supporting education, connecting communities, and improving access to health and other services all in one place. Page 10 Annual Report 2022 ## **How our grants impact different regions of the world** **Our second funding pillar enables the Foundation to provide complementary funding support to the charities chosen by each of the Access Group regional offices as their charity of the year.** While the fundraising activities of the people of Access provide general financial support to their chosen charities, the Foundation can add a grant to fund a specific project with measurable outcomes for their beneficiaries. Page 11 Annual Report 2022 ## **Europe** In the UK as part of its inaugural year, The Foundation was able to award grants to two charities – NDCS (National Deaf Children’s Society) and Bi-Polar, being the chosen charities for last year and this year respectively. ## **UK - National Deaf Children’s Society** NDCS was provided with £50,022 to fund the expansion of their Family Sign Language (FSL) training programme, providing whole families with practical skills for communication. ## **UK - Bipolar** Bipolar was awarded £50,000 to help fund several digital initiatives to raise awareness and bring down diagnosis times for those living with bipolar. This initiative has already achieved a reach of over 288,000 people through a variety of media channels. ## **Ireland - Irish Cancer Society** In Ireland, The Foundation provided a grant of £50,000 to the Irish Cancer Society to fund a post-Covid hybrid conference (with both in-person and online elements) reaching over 1,000 participants. The conference, titled ‘Living Well With and Beyond Cancer’ provided cancer patients and survivors with advice, information and the ability to share experiences with others. Page 12 Annual Report 2022 ## **APAC** In the APAC region charities of the year were chosen for the very first time by Access. The Access Foundation was delighted to be able to offer grants in this first year to charities in Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. ## **Malaysia - National Cancer Society of Malaysia** In Malaysia, The Access Foundation provided a grant of £15,000 to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia for a grant to support and sustain the ‘Home of Hope’ programme, which has been able to offer free accommodation to 27 cancer patients and their care givers from all over Malaysia while they undergo treatment at the Hospital of Kuala Lumpur. In total 913 nights of accommodation have been funded throughout 2022, as well as additional services such as counselling for patients and family members, transportation to and from the hospital, laundry services and nutritional support and advice. ## **New Zealand - Muscular Dystrophy Association** In New Zealand, The Access Foundation was able to award a grant of £16,000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to fund the publication of a new digital version of the charity’s InTouch magazine, which was rated the second most valuable service the MDA offer their members in a recent survey. The objectives of the publication are to reduce isolation and build a sense of community among members, share new and better ways, tools, and products to improve quality of life, keep members up to date with research and government advice and encourage sign-ups to the neuromuscular register. The magazine is emailed to over 3,400 people including professionals in the health and disability sector. ## **Australia - Variety Australia** In Australia, The Access Foundation was able to award a grant of £50,000 to a regional group of branches of the charity Variety Australia. The equipment funded by The Access Foundation will improve the quality of life, self-esteem, and independence of up to 745 children. Page 13 Annual Report 2022 ## **How our grants impact different areas across the UK** ## **UK Impact** In the UK as part of its inaugural year, The Access Foundation was able to award grants to various charities, institutions and community projects. Page 14 Annual Report 2022 v ## **Education Institutes & Universities** ## **Loughborough University - Loughborough - £120,000** The Access Foundation approved a grant to fund an annual intake of Scolarship students, for the next three years. These scolarships will be for students who wish to study courses in Computer Science and IT Management for Business. Disadvantaged young people struggle to progress to university, even when they have the academic ability to do so. Education is a route out of poverty and a key driver of scoial mobility, but access to education is not equal. Despite 20% of children in the Uk coming from low-income backgrounds, only 3% go on to attend the selective, top tier universites like Loughborough. By supporting this project at Loughborough University, we are contributing to levelling the playing field for young people to change the rest of their lives. Page 15 Annual Report 2022 v ## **Ashton University - Birmingham - £120,000** The Access Foundation approved a grant to fund an annual intake of Scholarship students for the next three years. These scholarships will be for students who wish to study courses in Computer Science, Computer Science with Business and Cybersecurity. Aston will provide scholarships funded through the Access Foundation to provide support to undergraduate students from a disadvantaged background who would otherwise face significant financial challenges. The scholarships are intended to enable the recipient to fully participate in university life without being restricted by financial worries for the duration of their degree. By supporting this project at Aston University, we are contributing to levelling the playing field for young people to change the rest of their lives. ## **Loughborough University – Loughborough - £153,112** The Access Foundation has approved a grant to fund the creation of a ‘Bridging the Digital Divide’ project to increase the chances of disadvantaged 11-18 year olds in achieving their potential through digital enablement. The new project will identify and support a cohort of year 11 students from disadvantaged families each year and support them through their next stage of education using digital technologies and platforms, all the way to post 18 options. The project will work in combination with the University’s LUDUS Gold Scheme, which helps students from all backgrounds discover the opportunity for university education to reach their full potential. ## **The Virtual School - Hertford - 50 laptops** The Access Foundation approved a grant to provide an initial batch of 50 refurbished laptops and 50 prepaid sim cards to The Virtual School, based in Hertfordshire. The Virtual School is an initiative within Hertfordshire County Council to bring focus and attention to children and young people in care and enhance their opportunities for education, support, and improved life outcomes. The organisation has recently extended their reach to children not yet in care but known to social workers so they can provide interventions where applicable and increase their opportunities. The provision of laptops to The Virtual School is the first example of an ongoing partnership between The Access Foundation and Softcat Plc to refurbish and recycle IT equipment from the Access Group and supply it to organisations helping to bridge the digital divide. ## **Birkbeck University - London - £282,910** The Access Foundation has approved a grant to fund a brand-new digital careers programme, focused on combatting inequality of access to careers in tech. The approach will consist of 3 pillars. A career bootcamp supporting 150 students in applying for jobs in tech with CV workshops and networking events. Online training and certification to get relevant skills and thirdly, paid internships for students within SME’s and established firms to build real world experience. Page 16 Annual Report 2022 v ## **Charities & Community Interest** ## **The Big League – Hartlepool. £28,995** The Big League CIC in Hartlepool is in an area with high levels of deprivation and The Access Foundation awarded a grant to make space within a community hub a digital suite for those who are experiencing digital exclusion and lacking in digital confidence. This has proved to be a success. The space is used by other community organisations that address the root causes of poverty and supports individual members of the community. ‘Poolie Time Exchange’ as it is known is proving incredibly popular with service users and local organisations as a one stop shop for everything from debt management advice to venue hire. **Page** 172 Annual Report 2022 v ## **DWRM Consultants – Coventry - £27,000** DWRM’s Director and former prisoner turned academic, Dan Whyte started this charity to improve the life chances of those who spent time in prison and uses his own institutional knowledge to support inmates on their journey. The prisons that DWRM are working in are across the north of England and use technology to break the cycle of incarceration by giving people in prison the chance to do distance learning university level courses using laptops and tablets funded by The Access Foundation. The outcomes are yet to be fully realised, however an interim report from DWRM Consultants demonstrated high levels of engagement with a 68.6% pass rate which given the circumstances is very encouraging. To improve on these figures, DWRM will be offering more training on how to use Chromebooks effectively as that was seen as a barrier to achievement. ## **Centrepoint - Sunderland - £74,769** The Access Foundation approved a grant to fund the creation of a digital skills programme for the benefit of homeless and disadvantaged young people in the Northeast of England. The aim of the grant is to support the rollout of a complementary programme with Centrepoint to help their young people attain the Essential Digital Skills Qualification (EDSQ). This is a recognised accredited qualification which enables young people to achieve up to date and relevant skills. It gives young people with limited or no IT experience the confidence to perform tasks online, improving their overall employment prospects. The Access Foundation also supplied 10 refurbished laptops kindly donated by the Access Group to Centrepoint. ## **DEC Ukraine – Harpenden - £20,000** The Access Foundation approved a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to support the ongoing efforts to help people affected by the crisis in Ukraine. The Foundation had combined with the Access Group in providing an overall donation of £70,000 to the DEC. The Foundation was able to approve the donation under its ‘Staffsponsored Charities’ objective through the request of a Ukrainian member of staff with close family affected by the crisis. ## **4Louis - Manchester - £3,500** 4Louis is a staff sponsored charity that works with midwives who work directly with families who have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth. 4Louis held a bereavement forum in September 2022 in Manchester to offer support and advice to midwives. The agenda covered a wide range of topics such as midwives supporting each other when dealing with bereavement issues, the emotional impact on service providers and the Black Maternity Experience. The grant from the Access Group Foundation paid for goody bags, refreshments and room hire. Page 18 Annual Report 2022 v ## **Mustard Tree – Manchester - £43,000** The Access Foundation approved a grant to deliver a digital education programme to help disadvantaged and homeless people in the Northwest of England gain the confidence and skills to help them break out of poverty and seek opportunities in the job market. The difference the Access Foundation grant has made is immense. 1,615 people have met with a Support Worker, 114 have had the chance to go to Job Club and 74 have been on the Computer Confidence course in 3 months alone ## **PANDAS Foundation – Oswestry - £5,000** PANDAS is a community offering peer-to-peer support for families affected by antenatal and postnatal mental health issues. The Access Foundation funded 3 months of the phone line service and in this period, 935 calls were placed to this phone line from parents, carers, and their networks. Awareness saves lives and the number of calls received by PANDAS in one quarter shows how much this service is needed.
