WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022


The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the year 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022. The annual report serves the purposes of both Trustees' Report and Directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charitable Company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The year has seen the Charity emerge from a very challenging and uncertain period caused by the global pandemic. It took time to return to some sort of normality following the disruption both to the education and business communities. Work-wise responded by adapting its approaches in delivery to its client groups and also by taking on some new areas of delivery to fill gaps left in provision, such as becoming a Kickstart Gateway provider and gaining a contract to deliver Sector Routeways into Engineering and Manufacturing provision for those seeking employment in the sector. These new areas plus a return to, and increase in, demand for Work-wise core activities, services and support has seen the charity increase its activity and turnover to double that of the previous year.

Following the negative impact of Covid 19, particularly on young people, and the increasing need for support the demand for those additional interventions provided by Work-wise has increased and the team has taken on additional staff and resource to help meet this increase. Our established services, such as Employability Workshops, What Employers Want Sessions, Summer Academies and Get up to Speed with STEM have continues to be delivered and expanded. These have been supplemented by new activities including North Star Science School, Vulcan Education Programme and Careers Speed Networking sessions.

The work of the Foundation has become even more critical with many young people now facing even more barriers, challenges and uncertainties than before the pandemic. For most of the pandemic The Work-wise Foundation continued to offer and adapt services and opportunities to young people from all backgrounds. An ongoing positive impact of the pandemic has been to enable us to look differently and creatively at how we deliver our services and support, and reach more young people in need.

We are proud of what we have achieved in challenging times over the past 2 years in difficult circumstances and look forward to continuing to build on the support we are able to offer to young people, those who educate and support them and the business community who benefit from a better informed, more confident and better prepared future workforce.


WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities
The Work-Wise Foundation is an 'employer inspired and led', practical educational initiative with the purpose of supporting the development of young people and others in the Sheffield City Region so they have the knowledge, skills, aptitude and opportunities to make a successful transition from education to adult and working life.

The objects of the Charity are to act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25, and vulnerable adults up to the age of 30, living in the Sheffield City Region and the surrounding area, by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes for education, training and other activities as a means of:

- Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.

- Advancing education.

- Relieving unemployment.

- Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the areas of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity/ disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the life of such persons.


WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Activities
The Work-Wise Foundation helps to bridge the gap between education/worklessness and employment. It translates learning and aptitude into employability and attributes that will enable young people to enter the workplace. Work-Wise is unique in that it is designed, led, assessed and evaluated by the private sector. Work-Wise companies not only contribute financially into the Foundation, they also commit to providing experiences and opportunities to industry standards as well as opening up their own job opportunities to young people as their business expands through recruitment onto apprenticeships, graduate recruitment programmes etc.

Work-Wise is relevant to all young people and supports all levels of learning and training, being equally appropriate for graduates and NEETS (Not in Education, Employment or Training) as it is for young people who do not wish to go into further and higher education. It is about work readiness, work awareness and work inspiration for all, and is now using the learning from its manufacturing and engineering beginnings to extend into other sectors, broadening the range of opportunities for young people, including offering opportunities to home educated young people and more generally from primary age upwards. The last two years has seen these opportunities be able to reach even more young people through the development of on-line and virtual opportunities.

We deliver a number of standard programmes (Face to Face and Virtual) and also customised and personalised programmes to meet individual needs.

Our core activities have included:

- Virtual and face to face Employability programmes delivered to young people still in school, FE or HE providing an extended introduction to the world of work and the skills and attitudes employers are looking for, plus progression routes into employment.
- Interactive and inspirational careers, information and advice events and workshops including regional showcase careers events for the Sector - Get up to Speed with Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing and The North Star Science School. Both delivered in 2021/22 face to face again, reaching over 5,000 young people and educators.
- What Employers Want, Skills Matter, Indispensable Me, Back to the Future and highly practical, interactive workshops. Delivered face to face and virtually.
- Team building workshops.
- Employability Summer Academy's and extended employability programmes designed to fit around the curriculum.
- Mentoring and individual support, including programmes aimed at supporting girls into STEM related careers.
- Careers Speed Networking cross sector sessions in schools.
- Introducing Primary age students (Year 1 to Year 6) to STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Maths) and jobs raising knowledge, aspirations and awareness of the varied jobs and careers in STEM.
- Developing an education partnership with The Vulcan to the Sky Trust to introduce young people to STEM experiences and careers through an iconic peace of British engineering.

WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

- Delivering Sector Routeways Training programmes for those interested in pursuing a career in the sector, both school leavers and those unemployed.

We also deliver a number of support programmes for employers, communities and educational establishments to enable them to develop sustainable partnerships to open up opportunities for young people and help with transition from education and unemployment into work. We offer mentoring for employers as well as young people and have developed a" Be Prepared" Tool Kit and a range of training specifically for employers to help them engage more effectively with young people and help young people remain in employment and succeed.

Our activities also include ensuring the Health and Safety and safeguarding of all participants and beneficiaries.


WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
In all activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity commission on public benefit.

The Work-wise Foundation exists to deliver public benefit. Beneficiaries come from across the Sheffield City Region, with the added value of some benefitting from further afield.

Our main activities are to help inspire, inform and provide practical advice, support, skills and resilience to our beneficiaries helping them better prepare for future life and work.

Why is this needed:

- Globally youth unemployment has been at a record high in the last decade.

- Forecast increases in youth unemployment. The COVID-19 Pandemic has only served to heighten this problem and is likely to have a negative impact in coming years.

- The commonly held consensus is that, on the whole, young people are inadequately prepared for work. This is a viewpoint that continues to prevail.

- There are no nationally agreed aims and outcomes for education - preparing young people for work does not seem to be integral to the education system. However, The Gatsby Career Benchmarks, adopted in the Government's Careers Strategy re-enforce the message that the more interactions young people have with employers, the more likely they are to succeed in gaining meaningful employment.

- Potentially generations of lost talent, impacting both economically and socially as many young people become NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).

- A reduced number of young people starting and completing new apprenticeships.

The Work-Wise Foundation is part of the solution to these challenges:

- Work-wise is now a well-established brand in our Sheffield City Region and a go to organisation to help resolve these challenges. Its prime purpose is to make our young people 'Work wise' helping them make the transition from education into employment.

- Work-wise is quite unique in its approach. The charity has been established by volunteer business leaders and has been designed by employers aligned to recruitment competencies. Presently there is no requirement for educational providers to do this, their focus is on educational attainment.

- Work-wise framework is designed as an exit programme from education and training into work - its flexibility making it appropriate for all sectors, ages, qualifications, size of company etc.


WORK-WISE FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08511224)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
- Work-wise removes barriers to work and apprenticeship opportunities, providing an essential 'pipeline' of work ready people who are 'fit for purpose' for local industry. It also works with young people who are NEET or who are at risk of becoming NEET.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of Activities
The past year has seen Covid 19 continue to impact on the delivery of the charity, particularly in the first 6 months, however we have bounced back strongly and demand for our services and support has grown, along with new opportunities as we emerge from this global crisis.

A new approach to delivery had to be developed in some areas and new programmes implemented to fill gaps and increases in demand as reported earlier.

We continue to receive amazing support from many industry and education/community leaders and utilise our forums which include employers, professionals, teachers and other key stakeholders.

This and the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the current economic challenges faced have reinforced our belief that there is a desire and need for the work of the charity.

During the year some of our key achievements were:

- Engaging with over 10,000 beneficiaries in STEM and employability related activities.
- Inspired and informed over 5,000 young people and educators through major events, Get up to Speed with STEM and North Star Science School.
- Worked with 40 unemployed individuals to complete a 4 week sector routeways programme, leading approx third to gain employment and approx. a third to go into further training and education.
- Had 35 young people (aged 14-18) graduate from the Work-Wise Summer Academy.
- Provided a virtual platform and 300+ pieces of virtual content including Industry Tours, Demonstrations, presentations and case studies for schools and individuals to access..
- Worked with over 100 employers and volunteers delivering opportunities and activities to young people.
- 30 Kickstart Placement opportunities created resulting in 6 month placements and permanent job offers.

The full impact and outcomes of our activities are not always quantifiable in the short-term, but the signs and feedback continue to be very encouraging.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity ended the year in a stronger financial position that it started with a surplus for the period of £14,765.

Income for the financial year was £199,238 with income coming from restricted donations/ grants, unrestricted donations from employers, individuals and trusts and also from services provided as detailed in the accounts. This is double the turnover from the last financial year.

Costs were managed prudently within the parameters of available funds and project specific requirements.

The Trustees' aim to have reserves of up to £35,000 in the medium term. This amount is broadly equivalent to three months fixed costs and will allow the Charity to respond to any short-term fluctuations in income. Given the current positive outlook, the Trustees do not consider that any reserves should be held to cover unplanned closure. The Trustees review the reserves policy annually.

Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Charity constitution

The company is constituted under a Trust deed and is a registered charity, number 1155597.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Work-Wise Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

They are 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.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meeting and any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Costs of generating funds are the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
