This report highlights the Foundation's efforts, achievements, financial position, and prospects. ## Meet some of Kents young business owners… ## Devoted Homecare – Sophie Devoted Homecare LTD is a domiciliary homecare provider based in South Kent. It was started by Sophie Shepherd in 2021 after working in various care settings both in the UK and in Australia. Sophie knew that the care sector needed change & with that thought she created Devoted Homecare. Sophie started off with just herself and 1 carer and has grown the company to now employ a fantastic team of 30. ## H&B Ironmongery – Sam H&B Architectural Ironmongery is a consultancy providing customers with the inspiration and support to ensure that their project is a perfect combination of function and style. Taking on a larger premises in Ashford during 2021 has enabled them to grow the business, create a shop front, and employ permanent staff. ## Dunk Cookies – Annabel Kent Foundation has supported Annabelle from June ‘19 when Dunk Cookies was an early stage ‘side hustle’ with a very small turnover. With the support of her mentor Annabelle established a manufacturing cell to service her rapidly growing customer base and has continued to expand the business including the opening of a shop and now supplies retailers throughout the UK. www.kentfoundation.org Supporting Businesses: The Foundation's dedicated team, consisting of one full-time and two part-time staff members, actively supported 122 businesses during the reporting period through our mentoring service. They harnessed the power of our extensive network, comprising of over 87 trained Volunteer Business Mentors from the local business community. These mentors freely contributed their time, knowledge, and experience to nurture young aspiring business owners and entrepreneurs. By exploring and developing their own business ideas, these individuals ware empowered and supported to create sustainable enterprises that would significantly contribute to the economic growth of Kent. ## Success: Despite the unprecedented challenges within the economic climate, the businesses created by young people in Kent supported by our services generated an impressive annual sales figure of more than £3million. This remarkable achievement underscores the tenacity and resilience of these entrepreneurs, as well as the vital role played by the Kent Foundation in providing them with essential support and guidance. While we prioritise recruitment and support to early-stage businesses who need help in developing a business mindset and navigating the first few years of trading, we also support a significant minority of more established businesses who require support in scaling up, developing, and diversifying their service offers, nurturing and leading teams and meeting policy and regulation requirements. Using our 2022/23 survey of members, we estimate that around two-thirds of our business (65%) are in start-up, pre-profit, and early growth stages, and just over a third are more established (35%). Most businesses (67%) are led by single directors/owners. Most operate in the creative and professional industries, retail and wholesale, health and care, and tech. Almost two-thirds www.kentfoundation.org of business owners identify as female and a third as male. A third of business owners identify as having an intermediate or lower socio-economic background based on parental occupation. Young business owners come to the Foundation with a concept or idea but often need more knowledge and, for some, the confidence to take the next step. They approach The Foundations offers of packaged support, and a business mentor to help them understand the business better and how to run it successfully and grow it. Not knowing how to access funding and investment is another significant barrier. Mentors reflect that young business owners have great ideas, passion, and enthusiasm. However, they often need more fundamental business knowledge and a clear plan to turn their ideas into practice and develop and grow a viable business. _“I had a business idea but didn't know where to start, how to market it and how to meet the right people to make it a business. […] I wanted a mentor to help me understand my business better and how to run it successfully and how to grow.”_ Member respondent to Kent Foundation’s member survey 2022/23. _“Young people often have great ideas for a business but don't have the experience to put the ideas into practice. The Foundation gives them the opportunity to do this.”_ Mentor respondent to Kent Foundation’s mentor survey 2022/23. Our Impact We are proud of the feedback we receive from our members, who tell us that they value the guidance and support from their mentors and being part of a supportive community and network. In our members survey, 91% of members rated their mentoring as good (31%) or excellent (60%), and 83% rated the overall support from KF as good (29%) or excellent (54%). Members gave the Foundation a net promoter score of 89 NPS, well above the average NPS score in professional services (40-50). www.kentfoundation.org _“The Kent Foundation have been an incredible support to us thank you very much. We truly appreciate the opportunity to have a great mentor to guide and encourage us and to feel so supported by The Kent Foundation and the Kent Foundation community as a whole. Meeting face to face for a Christmas drink in Maidstone was lovely!”_ _“To have someone to chat too, to bounce ideas off has been great. A is fantastic and always calm, thinks about his answers and genuinely cares! […] Our great mentor R, keeps us focussed, advises us and supports us.”_ _“Always there when I needed them.”_ ## Business support findings Our research tells us we are making a significant and valued contribution to the local business community, helping empower young business owners, unlock their potential, and equip them with business mindsets, resources, and knowledge to develop and grow their businesses and make informed decisions. The Foundation has the infrastructure, expertise, and networks to respond to the business community’s short and longer-term support needs while meeting possible mentor gaps in retail and wholesale, the creative industries, health and care, and digital and social media, and diversifying its mentor network. The cycle of supporting a young entrepreneur to launch a business, build stability and reach a level to create sustainable employment is circa 2-3 years. Aspiring business owners have an idea but need support understanding how to create and launch their business. In the start-up phase, businesses face challenges in creating initial sales and financial and operational challenges. Our more established and stable businesses need support focusing on income stability, greater control of the business and achieving initial growth. Entrepreneurs who have been trading for 3-5 years need support to reach the next stage of growth. www.kentfoundation.org Members’ top business concerns and barriers include access to funding and finance and issues and challenges relating to personal development, such as overcoming fear of failure, confidence and an effective business mindset. Reported barriers and concerns in our members survey included: - Funding and finance, cashflow and security - Confidence, resilience, and focus - Time management and juggling competing pressures (balancing - delivery & customer fulfilment with new business development) - Overcoming fear of failure - Cost of living crisis Along with personal support and guidance, our business owners are looking for support in the fundamentals for starting up and growing value creation, marketing, sales, value delivery, and finance. Our mentors tell us that a lack of awareness and grounding in these areas can be a significant barrier to success, as well as access to finance and capital when starting up. ## Events: Throughout the reporting period, the Kent Foundation hosted 16 events, comprising workshops, masterclasses, networking, and the highly anticipated annual awards presentation. These events served as invaluable platforms for entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and gain exposure. The Foundation organizing a mix of in-person and online events, ensuring a wide reach and participation from over 200 attendees. ## KentBizFest 6[th] July 2022 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Regular Networking Events The Kent Foundation Awards Evening 26[th] January 2023 Celebrating the achievements of 2022 www.kentfoundation.org Marketing and Promotion: The Foundation effectively utilized various channels to promote its mission and services. Its website served as the primary source of information and contact point for individuals seeking support or interested in supporting the foundation. Additionally, the Foundation leveraged social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram to increase awareness presence, disseminate information, and engage with a broader audience. Example below is from our Facebook activity report December 2022. Financial Position and Future Outlook: The Kent Foundation began the year with reserves amounting to £ 55,903 . However, due to various factors, the reserves decreased by £ 16,460 , resulting in a closing balance of £ 39,443 , with £ 5,006 of reserves being restricted. The Trustees acknowledged the need for increased income from commercial sources, sponsorships, and events like KentBizFest. Consequently, a working party and external support has embarked on www.kentfoundation.org building a robust strategy to focus on growing and diversifying income generation while maintaining the Foundation's commitment to delivering sustainable and effective services. We are currently 1 year into a comprehensive two-year plan which outlines our objectives, priorities, and structural enhancements to create a more sustainable charity with expanded service offerings. ## Risk Management and Trustees' Responsibilities: The Trustees recognized the major risk posed by the continued lack of income from commercial sources, donations, and sponsorships. In response, strategic actions were taken to sustain the Foundation's services to young entrepreneurs. The Trustees diligently fulfilled their responsibilities, including preparing accurate financial statements, maintaining proper accounting records, and safeguarding the Charity's assets to prevent fraud and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. ## Conclusion: Despite the ever-changing economic landscape, and the many challenges the charity sector faces, the Kent Foundation remained resolute in its commitment to supporting young entrepreneurs and businesses in Kent. Through the dedicated efforts of our board of trustees, staff and volunteers, the Foundation continues to provide crucial guidance to foster sustainable enterprises that contribute positively towards the local economy. By our commitment of our volunteers, effective marketing channels, a range of networks of support, and continuing to evolve and formulate robust plans, the Foundation is well-positioned to expand its support and services to meet the evolving needs of young people and continues to be instrumental in inspiring, informing and education the next generation of entrepreneurs and business owners in Kent. www.kentfoundation.org Signed ## Board of Trustees Chair…………………………………………………. Date…………………………………………………... www.kentfoundation.org ## The Kent Foundation ## Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees ## For the year ended 31 March 2023 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the charity'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 examiners statement** I have completed my examination.
