Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

Letter from the Chair

Dear Supporters, Partners, and Friends,

2024 has been a landmark year for Every Child Online, marked by strategic growth, strengthened partnerships, and an expanded impact on digital inclusion and online safety.

Expanding Our Reach Through Industry Engagement & Strategic Partnerships

This year, we actively participated as Charity Partner to some of the UK’s largest industry exhibitions, engaging with like-minded professionals across multiple sectors. These events provided a valuable platform to raise awareness of our mission, forge new partnerships, and expand our support network.

A key focus in 2024 has been developing strong relationships with companies that prioritise Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sustainability, and Social Impact. Businesses with these mandates have increasingly recognised the value of partnering with Every Child Online, as our work aligns directly with their commitment to digital inclusion, education, and sustainability. Through these growing partnerships, we are creating mutual benefits, helping companies meet their ESG and CSR goals while ensuring more young people gain access to technology and digital learning tools.

With more corporate donors stepping forward to contribute surplus IT assets and financial support, the biggest winners are the children and young adults we support. These collaborations are not just about technology donations; they are about longterm impact, bridging the digital divide, and equipping young people with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Increasing Volunteer and Staff Capacity

With the continued growth of our initiatives, we have expanded our team by increasing both full-time, work experience students and volunteer support. This resource ensures that we can meet the rising demand for our devices and IT refurbishing, while also fostering a dedicated community of individuals committed to making a difference.

Beyond Device Distribution: Advancing Digital Literacy & Online Safety

While our core mission remains centered on supplying devices to partnering schools, charities, and social service departments, we have been developing to offer digital literacy training as well. This prepares individuals with essential IT skills, helping them navigate the digital world safely and effectively.

Looking ahead to 2025, we are preparing to launch our Online Safety Awareness program, ensuring that children, parents, and educators have access to crucial guidance on staying safe online. This initiative will further solidify our role as a leader in both digital inclusion and Online Safety awareness.

Stronger Partnerships with Local Colleges

We have strengthened our collaboration with local colleges, creating new

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 4

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

pathways for students to gain hands-on experience in IT refurbishing, digital literacy training, and volunteering within our projects. These partnerships not only support our mission but also provide valuable career and development opportunities for young people.

Expanding Our Community Impact Through New Initiatives

Building on the success of IT Full Circle and Pass IT On, we have launched additional community-focused initiatives, including our Tech Give Away Events. These events provide fully refurbished computers and accessories to families facing digital exclusion, ensuring that no child is left without the tools needed for education and personal development.

Looking Ahead to 2025

With strong momentum behind us, Every Child Online is set to provide an even greater impact in 2025. We will continue expanding our reach, strengthening our partnerships, and launching new projects to ensure that every child has access to technology, education, and a safer digital future.

Together, with the support of our partners, volunteers, and donors, we are making digital inclusion a reality for those who need it most.

A Heartfelt Thank You

As we reflect on the incredible progress made in 2024, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all the individuals, companies, and organisations who have supported Every Child Online. Your generosity, commitment, and belief in our mission have been instrumental in driving real change, ensuring that thousands of children and young adults have access to the technology and digital skills they need to succeed.

To our charity partners and support organisations who have come to rely on us, we want to reassure you that the best of our impact is yet to come. We remain dedicated to our cause, continuously evolving and strengthening our efforts to meet the growing need for digital inclusion and online safety education. Together, we are making a lasting difference.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in our vision, and helping us build a future where no child is left behind in the digital world. We look forward to another year of growth, collaboration, and life-changing impact. With gratitude.

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

Annual Report of the Trustees and Management

1. Structure, Governance and Management

1.1 Structure

Every Child Online is a Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)

1.2 Governance

Our board of trustees is responsible for setting the overall strategy and direction of the charity, and for ensuring Every Child Online uses its resources effectively in pursuit of our mission. Trustees are unpaid members of the charity who are either elected to the board by the other members or invited to join the board because of their specialist knowledge.

The executive team works closely with the board of trustees to help turn our vision and strategy into a reality. They are responsible for the day-to-day management of the charity. The charity is governed by its constitution which sets out the charity’s objects and the framework within which we must operate to achieve them.

2. Rules Governing the Appointment of Trustees.

Maximum and Minimum Trustees

Every Child Online allows up to 12 Trustees, with a minimum of three serving at any time.

2.1 Trustee Recruitment Process

Potential Trustees can be recruited through:

2.2 Appointment Process

Prospective Trustees initially meet the CEO for an operational overview and are provided with written information about the charity. They then meet with at least two Board members to discuss:

2.3 Trustees receive ongoing training in areas such as:

Updates are shared via board meetings, emails, and through training provided inhouse or by external organisations.

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 6

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

3. Trustee Financial Management

The charity’s treasurer has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the effective implementation of Every Child Online’s financial management policy and the effectiveness of Every Child Online's financial management system.

The trustees are responsible for approving all financial transactions except for where authority has been granted to the Chief Executive in accordance with the Expenditure Authorisation Policy. The Treasurer has direct responsibility for overseeing all financial transactions, including where authority has been granted to the Chief Executive by the trustees.

Trustees are responsible for approving the annual budget and all variations to the budget. The Treasurer has direct responsibility for ensuring that proper budgets are prepared and any variations to an approved budget are properly evidenced before presentation to the Trustees.

4. Risk management and internal controls

In its commitment to sound governance, the charity diligently conducts and continually monitors a comprehensive risk assessment process. Through this process, the organization identifies and proactively addresses key financial, operational, governance, reputational, and regulatory risks that could potentially impact its ability to achieve its mission.

Our corporate risk register serves as a repository of the charity's exposure to significant risks, employing a robust scoring mechanism that evaluates both the potential impact and likelihood of each risk. This assessment takes into account the efficacy of existing controls and the measures in place to mitigate these risks. Throughout the reporting period, the CEO and Board of Trustees have maintained a vigilant oversight of these risks.

The ultimate responsibility for assessing and managing the risks facing the charity rests with the Board of Trustees, who are entrusted with ensuring the implementation of appropriate internal control systems. To aid in this endeavour, the Audit and Finance Committee, as well as the Quality Committee, have been delegated the task of providing oversight. The charity remains proactive in undertaking mitigating actions in response to all major identified risks.

The trustees hold the conviction that they diligently take reasonable measures to both identify and mitigate the major risks to which the charity is exposed. They are committed to establishing robust processes aimed at risk management, recognizing, however, that these processes are designed to manage rather than completely eliminate all significant risks. Consequently, they can offer reasonable assurance but acknowledge that absolute certainty in risk management and the elimination of material errors is an elusive goal.

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

5. Reserves Policy

Every Child Online recognises the importance of having financial reserves. While our current turnover does not allow us to allocate a fixed reserve, we are aware of the need to ensure long-term sustainability and financial resilience. This reserves policy outlines our approach to managing potential financial risks and preparing for future growth.

6. Reserves Policy and Financial Stability

6.1 Purpose of the Reserves Policy

To underpin our long-term resilience, the trustees have adopted a reserves policy that ensures Every Child Online maintains a prudent financial buffer. This policy safeguards continuity of mission-critical operations during income fluctuations or unexpected demands. In 2024 we have intensified this approach as part of a broader strategic shift: launching a affiliated CIC to deliver professional ITAD services, thereby diversifying income and strengthening financial sustainability.

6.2 Target Level and Monitoring

As we grow, our reserves target is equivalent to three months of core operating expenditure , encompassing staffing, premises costs, refurbishment operations, and key overheads. We review this target annually in our financial planning cycle—and adjust it in line with projected income and cost structure changes, particularly in light of the new ITAD services arm.

6.3 Use of Reserves

In circumstances of financial strain, reserves may be deployed for:

We intend to draw on reserves only when other funding sources are exhausted or inappropriate, and always with board approval and rigorous oversight.

7. Strategic Objectives and Activities (2024)

In an increasingly digital world, exclusion from technology is a profound barrier to education, employment, and participation in modern society. Every Child Online exists to remove that barrier by providing children and young adults with access to technology and the opportunity to connect, learn, and thrive.

2024 was a year of strategic transition for the charity. Our focus was on strengthening operational stability, expanding our partnerships, and establishing a foundation for long-term sustainability through the creation of our affiliated Community Interest Company (CIC), Everyone Digital CIC, which was incorporated in November 2024.

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 8

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

While Every Child Online remains entirely focused on supporting children and young adults, the CIC has been established to manage accredited IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) and refurbishment services that will, over time, provide a sustainable income stream to help underwrite our social mission. This partnership enables the charity to focus on impact while ensuring future financial resilience.

7.1 Tackling Digital Exclusion and Isolation

Digital isolation continues to affect thousands of young people across the UK, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Without access to a suitable computer, mobile phone, or internet connection, many children and young adults remain unable to participate in online education, apply for jobs or apprenticeships, or communicate effectively with peers and teachers.

Our Approach in 2024

In 2024, we continued our core mission of collecting, refurbishing, and redistributing donated technology to children and young adults through partnerships with schools, charities, and social service departments. By working through these trusted organisations, we ensured devices reached those most in need.

Our partnership with Vodafone continued to support our Mobile Lifeline Project, providing prepaid SIM cards offering six months of calls, texts, and data to young people in or leaving care. This support helps keep vulnerable individuals connected to friends, family, and vital support services.

Through our work, we delivered over 5,000 refurbished devices across Essex, London, and beyond, directly addressing the barriers that prevent young people from engaging fully in education and society.

7.2 Educational Opportunity and Equity

Access to technology is fundamental to learning. Without it, students are disadvantaged from the start. Throughout 2024, Every Child Online strengthened its collaboration with schools, helping to reduce the digital attainment gap by supplying high-quality refurbished devices and equipment to classrooms and learning environments.

7.3 Impact and Performance in 2024

Despite being a transitional year, 2024 saw significant operational success and continued growth in community impact.

Key Outcomes:

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 9

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

These achievements demonstrate how strategic consolidation can deliver substantial real-world impact while laying the groundwork for long-term growth.

8.1 Supporting Schools and Community Organisations

Every Child Online’s support to schools and community partners remains central to its mission. In 2024, the charity continued to provide refurbished computers, monitors, and peripherals to classrooms in deprived areas, youth centres, and partner organisations across Essex and London, plus organisations in other UK areas on a case by case bases..

By supplying fully equipped IT setups, the charity enables teachers to deliver modern, interactive lessons, ensuring that children from disadvantaged households are not left behind in a digitally dependent education system.

Additionally, our partnerships with local charities and social care departments have helped thousands of families access reliable technology for home learning, social connection, and access to essential online services.

8.2 Circular Economy and Sustainability

Every Child Online’s commitment to environmental sustainability underpins its digital inclusion work. By extending the life of donated equipment, the charity helps reduce electronic waste and promotes a circular economy model.

All devices are processed using Global Erasure, accredited data-wiping software that ensures full data security and peace of mind for donors. Components that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled through approved WEEE partners, ensuring zero landfill contribution wherever possible.

8.3 Partnerships and Corporate Engagement

Partnerships are the foundation of Every Child Online’s success. In 2024, we strengthened ties with businesses and funders who share our commitment to social impact and sustainability.

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 10

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

Key 2024 Highlights:

8.4 Volunteers, Students, and Work Placements

Our volunteers and student placements remain at the heart of Every Child Online. Throughout 2024, we worked with colleges such as USP College and South Essex College to provide meaningful hands-on experience in computer refurbishment, logistics, and sustainability.

These partnerships not only enhance the learning experience of young people but also support our operational capacity. Volunteers from Employ-Ability and other local initiatives have continued to make vital contributions, gaining confidence, transferable skills, and a pathway back into employment.

9.Summary

2024 was a pivotal year for Every Child Online, one of reflection, consolidation, and preparation. The creation of Everyone Digital CIC marks a significant step towards a more sustainable model, enabling the charity to remain mission-focused while building a strong operational foundation for the years ahead.

By distributing over 5,000 devices, expanding partnerships, and strengthening governance, the charity has ensured that its impact continues to grow — reaching more young people, schools, and families than ever before.

As we move into 2025, Every Child Online is positioned to expand into digital literacy, online safety, and new regional outreach programmes in Thurrock and Newham — ensuring that no child is left behind in the digital age.

9.1 Future Strategy and Plans for 2025 and Beyond

Looking forward, our strategic thrust is to cement the integrated model: a charity focused on closing the digital divide, online safety and community engagement supported by a robust social enterprise (the CIC) delivering accredited ITAD and refurbishing services. Key strategic goals include:

  1. Scale the CIC , expand geographically, secure long-term contracts, invest in certification, and reach financial break-even or surplus.

WWW.EVERYCHILDONLINE.CO.UK 11

Charity No: 1197240 Trustees Report for the year-end 31[st] December 2024 (continued)

  1. Deepen Integration — align CIC operations and charity programmes (e.g. priority refurbishment for inclusion programmes, discount services for digital inclusion charitable organisations).

  2. Expand Outreach — move into new regions beyond Essex and London, particularly underserved rural or post-industrial communities.

  3. Measure & Communicate Impact — build a strong monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) framework to measure educational outcomes, social inclusion, environmental impact and financial sustainability.

  4. Advocacy & Policy — use our field experience to inform and influence policy on digital inclusion, e-waste regulation, and public sector device provision.

  5. Diversify Funding Mix — maintain grant and donation streams, but increase earned income share via CIC services, corporate sponsorships, subscription models (e.g. support plans for refurbished devices), and impact investing.

  6. Build Resilience — continue growing reserves to protect mission stability; revisit our reserves target as our cost base and operational risk evolve.
