Introducing City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London

City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London exist to benefit the poor of London and provide support to community organisations that have charitable purposes. In achieving those aims, both organisations are involved in a wide range of activities

The Foundation owns a large property and equities portfolio. The Trust also has an equities portfolio. These provide the resources to meet the charitable aims of both bodies. One of the assets of the Foundation is the Resource Centre for Londons voluntary sector on Holloway Road, N7 which provides meeting facilities, offices and services

Good practice
Good governance and grant support both before and after are vital activities if maximum use is to be made of charitable resources. The Foundation and Trust publish guides to good practice

Properties
The Foundation owns a number of sites and buildings which are let at low or peppercorn rents to organisations for charitable or voluntary activities

Reactive grants
The Foundation and Trust provide direct grants for specific purposes, often responding to local or exceptional needs as they arise

Special programmes
The Foundation supports organisations working with disabled people through a scheme known as Count Us In. Previous special programmes have included work with youth organisations

Equality
The Foundation and Trust support work to counter discrimination and to tackle violence and isolation. Another initiative is to offset disadvantage in established communities, often predominantly white, in areas of long term poverty

Partnerships
A number of the Foundations major schemes which tackle schools exclusion, refugee education and work with young men are funded jointly with other trusts and organisations

Innovation
Schemes responding to new needs have been established including an education awards initiative, and access to appropriate employment for displaced professionals

Consultation
Because of their extensive experience the Foundation and Trust are frequently asked to comment on policy proposals and consultation documents produced by other bodies including local and central government

Networks
The exchange of information, good practice and ideas between funding organisations has many benefits. The Foundation and Trust are active in many formal and informal networks including the London Funders Group and the Association of Charitable Foundations

Grants Review 2004

ondon is one of the most exciting cities in the world. It is a living, breathing, pulsating city with millions of people resident within its boundary and millions more commuting in each day. It boasts a tremendous mix of cultures, races and religions and it attracts newcomers from across the world. It is a working city with a huge tourist market. It is also a rich city, generating 20 per cent of Britains wealth. It has some of the most affluent areas in the UK but alongside that it also has some of the poorest. It is in this context, with poverty living cheek by jowl with affluence, that the Foundation works to address the needs of the poor, the disadvantaged, and the marginalised of London. The main feature of 2004, falling in the middle of the current quinquennium 2002-2006, was to assess the progress that had been made against the targets and

Communities Histories Project, which is about newcomers to London, the Leisure & Lifestyle Centre seeks to address the poverty and multiple deprivation found in one of Londons older, predominantly white, housing estates. The Centre opened in April 2004 with a fine display of gymnastics by the Ladywell Gymnastics Club, which has its permanent home at the Centre. The Gymnastics Club is fitted with Olympic standard facilities and it is an aspiration of both the Foundation and, I am sure, the Gymnastics Club that some of its young members will participate in the Olympics in 2012.

Sharing experience
The Foundation is of the firm opinion that we should learn from mistakes and shortcomings, and share our experiences with others. The Schools Exclusion Project was only partly successful. The funding partners published an evaluation carried out by Julia Unwin, and a summary report was published in the Association of Charitable Foundations quarterly newsletter Trust and Foundation News to ensure lessons learnt were heard by other grant-givers. The wider world saw important developments in 2004. The merger of the Community Fund and the New Opportunities Fund into the Big Lottery Fund will have major implications for Londons voluntary sector. It was heartening that the Government listened to the views of the voluntary sector and chose to keep lottery funding independent of Government direction. The Bill formally uniting the two Funds is still awaited. The publication of the white paper on charity reform and its subsequent Bill was a significant event for the charitable sector. Although this Bill fell in the run up to the General Election, I am glad to see that the Government has re-introduced it in the Queens Speech. This is the first major rewrite of charity law since the 17th century and the wide consultation in the lead up to the Bill has resulted in proposals that should be of considerable benefit to charities and their beneficiaries, the debate about defining public benefit not withstanding. Another issue for the sector were the difficulties that beset the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. The Foundation was involved in the rescue scheme to safeguard funded organisations and is very pleased

Continuity and change

grant priorities developed in 2001. The mid-quinquennial review looked at what was working well, new developments in the field and rethinking the matters where progress has been slow. Overall, our Grants Programme is on target with good progress being made on the Count Us In disability programme and the Young Mens Project. The Refugee Communities Histories Project run by the Evelyn Oldfield Unit has made significant progress. We believe that this innovative project will be of profound significance in decades to come. It seeks to record oral histories of members of the communities that have arrived in London since 1951 the year the Geneva Convention on the status of Refugees was signed on the subject of their arrival, settlement and economic, social and cultural contribution to London. We are happy to report the opening and first year of operation of the Bellingham Leisure & Lifestyle Centre. In contrast to the Refugees

and I wish to thank all of my fellow Governing Body members for their tremendous support and encouragement. I would especially like to thank Professor Julian Franks, John Barnes, Jyoti Munsiff and Albert Tucker, members whose terms of office ended in April 2005. We also said goodbye to Edward Lord, who has decided to stand down after three years service. I am delighted to welcome to the Governing Body, Tzeggai Yohannes Deres, Robert Hughes-Penney, Martin Dudley, Paul Wates, Murziline Parchment, Ingrid Posen and Neville Walton, all of whom have joined us in the past year. We were pleased that my predecessor, Professor Gerald Manners, was elected to chair the Association of Charitable Foundations. We were doubly pleased when he was awarded an OBE in the 2005 New Years Honours List for services to the charitable sector. My thanks also go to the staff for their support and enthusiasm, their professionalism and commitment to the work of the Foundation. Despite a very long history, City Parochial Foundation can never be accused of resting on its laurels. It would be easy simply to provide grants for worthy causes which are already established. Instead the Foundation is at the forefront of tackling new issues and problems as they arise, and looking for new ways to approach them, and I believe this Review provides many examples of that proud tradition. It was particularly gratifying, therefore, that we were honoured in 2004 as Grant-maker of the Year in the Charity Awards. Every year brings new challenges and it is a credit to members of the Governing Body, past and present, that they have never shirked from taking on sometimes unpopular causes and pushing for innovative ways to tackle them. I am confident that they will continue to do so in the future. Maggie Baxter Chair

Success for the Foundation and Trust came at the prestigious Charity Awards in June 2004 when they were announced as winners of the best Grant-maker category. The submission focused on the Foundations and Trusts approach to developing and funding proactive initiatives to enable refugee communities to settle and integrate in London. It highlighted the work of the Employability Forum, the Evelyn Oldfield Unit, the Resource Unit for Supplementary and Mother-tongue Schools, the Refugee Education Awards Scheme, and the Refugee Communities History Project.

to see that the Diana Fund has recently been able to resume making grants. Internal change came about when the City Parochial Foundation Trustee, an incorporated body, adopted the role of Trustee of both, the City Parochial Foundation and the Trust for London from 1 January 2005. The incorporation assures individual trustees security from personal litigation, should that ever become an issue. To mark this, the word Trustee is now only used for the new incorporated body. The incorporation should have important implications for the flexible and efficient working of both bodies. In addition, changes have been made to our governance procedures to ensure that we follow best practice, including working towards greater diversity amongst the Governing Body members. This was my first year as chair of the City Parochial Foundation Trustee

Grants Review 2004

Reviewing the programmes

Events 2004
January The value of voluntary work slumped by more than a quarter between 1995 and 2000, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It found that voluntary activity across the UK was worth 17.7bn in 1995, but only 13.2bn in 2000 a fall of nearly 26%. London remains the most racially diverse place in Britain, according to the Office for National Statistics. 45% of Britains non-white population lived in the city in 2001. It said 78% of black Africans and 61% of black Caribbeans lived in London, as did 54% of Bangladeshi people. February The public sector is now the biggest single source of funding for charities, accounting for 37% of their annual 20bn income, according to the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. Figures from the 2004 Voluntary Sector Almanac show that charities in the UK have assets worth 70.1 billion; more

continuing development of the Count Us In programme working with disability organisations; the Young Mens Project jointly funded with the John Lyons Charity; the Bellingham Community Project (opposite); and for Trust for London the start of a new project with Evelyn Oldfield Unit documenting the histories of new refugee and migrant communities which have arrived in London since 1951.

ity Parochial Foundation and Trust for London both use a five year quinquennium approach to funding, where priorities are set. During the period, funding is monitored, the principal means being through a midterm review at which a detailed look is taken at grants made and other funding programmes. The aim is to consider how the priorities identified are being met and what action may be needed to boost programmes which have not developed in the expected way to see what new priorities may be emerging, and to look at wider issues affecting the voluntary sector which may require adjustment to the existing programmes or have implications for future quinquennia. The 2004 mid-term review showed that overall, the programme was on target and concentrating on areas in greatest need. Geographically, six of the Foundations top ten funded boroughs were among the ten most deprived boroughs as identified by the Governments Neighbourhood Renewal Unit. But poverty often resides cheek-by-jowl with affluence. CPF strives to alleviate poverty as and where it manifests itself rather than where it is considered to exist based on indices. CPF believes that funding needs to be balanced between boroughs considered the poorest, and poor communities in boroughs considered to be well-off. The mid-term report also reported on the successes in the Foundations pro-active work. Examples include

Strategic interventions
Many of these initiatives take an enormous amount of staff time, but CPF and TfL believe that they are strategic interventions which will have positive implications for the beneficiaries and enable the Foundation and Trust to pursue their missions and stay consistent with their histories of being far-sighted and alert to new issues. Two particular initiatives, started in previous quinquennia and still funded by the Foundation are the Refugee Education Awards Scheme and the Employability Forum aimed at assisting refugees into work. These are both projects that will be considered for further funding. Another which was approaching completion at the end of 2004 was the Count Us In disability project and consideration on further action will depend on the conclusion of the evaluation during 2005. One completed project was the study of terms and conditions of staff and employees in the voluntary sector, which led to the report Valuing potential (see page 10). Although the findings caused a stir at the Mayoral election voluntary sector hustings, the report has not generated the hoped-for level of publicity though the aim will be to encourage others to consider the issues at appropriate events such as the National Council of Voluntary Organisations Conference. Also completed was the Governance Project which looked at small organisations and a number of bodies have taken up the issues raised.

Springboard for Bellingham

Provision of recreational facilities was a CPF priority in the 1930s to help towards wellbeing and physical health. One such scheme was playing fields at Bellingham, Lewisham in what is one of the most deprived wards in London. By the 1990s the facilities had become outmoded, and this led to a major rethink on what to do with the site. After several years of negotiation a 4.5 million funding package was put together with support from a wide range of funders including Sport England, the London Borough of Lewisham, Henry Smiths Charity, London Marathon Trust, Bridge House Trust, and the New Opportunities Fund among others. Eventually work began in 2003 on demolition of the existing buildings and their replacement by modern sports facilities, a healthy living centre, and meeting and function rooms. The centre, run on a day-to-day basis by Greenwich Leisure, re-opened as Bellingham Leisure & Lifestyle Centre in April 2004. It has proved an immediate success no fewer than 1,500 people passed through the doors in the first three weeks of opening. By the end of the year the Centre had 450 pre-paid members, 1,300 had taken out pay and play memberships and 400 young people held membership cards. The scheme also employs 30 local people. An official opening was held in October to celebrate the rebirth, attended by funders and other supporters. The event included a display by the Ladywell Gymnastics Club one of the countrys leading clubs - which is now based at the centre. Although this is a rather unusual project, it falls within an important Foundation priority to support established

communities, often predominantly white, in areas of longterm poverty. During 2004, CPF also agreed a grant towards an in-depth evaluation of the work and its impact on the local community.

than half a million people are paid employees of the voluntary sector; the public believes charities raise nearly a quarter of their cash 24% from the business sector while in fact, private companies contributed just 4.3% of charities funds in 2001-02. A third of the public believes trustees are probably or definitely paid, according to the survey of nearly 1,000 people by voluntary sector think tank NFP Synergy. Concern about how much donated cash actually reaches the intended cause is the most annoying thing about charities. March The Balance Charitable Foundation is launched and aims to secure the release of up to 20bn of unclaimed assets from banks and other financial institutions so they can be used for charitable purposes. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) acknowledges a skills shortage in the sector, and says that organisations need to get more involved in staff development and training. A London Assembly report has found that 60% of Britons with HIV live in London. The virus is reportedly spreading fastest among heterosexual Londoners. It suggests that if HIV continues to spread in London at its current rate, the numbers of people infected could reach 50,000 by 2009.

Southwark showcase
Support for refugees has been a recurring theme of the work of City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London. One group which benefited in 2004 was the Southwark Refugee Artists Network (SRAN) which supports the artistic and professional development of refugee artists both visual and performing through information, advice and training, and events at which refugee artists can present and promote their work. A highlight of the year was the Mosaic Festival, a day-long event where 100 artists performed for more than 3,000 visitors. Another was the Carnival of Animals pilot project which took place at Towerbridge Primary School in October 2004. Five artists worked with 29 children for one week, and an audience of parents, teachers and family attended a ten-minute final performance, which incorporated story telling, dance, music, mask making and mime. Trust for London funded the post of the part-time Refugee Arts Co-ordinator Sharan Dass, who, apart from organising events, has built partnerships with other local arts and community groups.

We artists may have come reluctantly to the UK. We follow a long tradition of artists from almost all parts of the world driven here by politics, or prejudice, or racism, or just the wish to persecute or murder people with artistic ideas. Following the massive contribution exiled artists have made to British culture in the past, through our art and the Network we also seek to add to the rich mix of Southwark and Londons cultural and artistic life. SRAN chair Tomorr Kokona, writing in the groups annual report

Grants Review 2004

There is no guarantee that all initiatives will work out as expected that is the nature of such projects which involve risk. For instance, the Schools Exclusion Project in Merton which was a collaborative project with Equitable Charitable Trust and Bridge House Trust only achieved limited success. However, it provided many lessons that will be taken on board in setting up further initiatives. A report to this effect was produced by Julia Unwin on behalf of the Foundation. Current initiatives are ambitious in both scope and number, and as they deal with complex issues often take time to settle down and get off the ground. One such is the aim of establishing a Somali Community Forum to bring together the large number of Somali groups operating in London. Difficulties in co-ordination and information flow between groups have meant that progress has not been as rapid as expected. The initiative on tackling violence and hate crimes also took time to develop, but as reported last year, a number of projects were funded in 2003 and further progress was made in 2004. Work is proceeding on taking things further, including projects which aim to tackle the use of weapons by young people. Inevitably some projects gain early priority in the quinquennium. One which will be starting in the second half is a project to develop work with older people. Events can disrupt some programmes as has been the case with projects around the themes of image, identity and exclusion. Tentative discussion had already been held with the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, but these had to be curtailed due to the litigation problems the Fund faced in the United States, which forced it to cease all grantmaking. CPF was closely involved in the launch of a rescue scheme for the fund and committed 250,000 to enable voluntary and community organisations to continue their work. (It is pleasing to report that since then, the issue has

Norman House 50 years on

Concern about prisoners and the need to ensure adequate support for their rehabilitation has been a recurring theme for City Parochial Foundation. Back in the 1950s, it was estimated that between one quarter and a third were homeless on release from prison. The problem led Merfyn Turner, a Welsh social worker in the penal field, to approach London Parochial Charities (now CPF) to provide funds for a half way house to provide a substitute home and family where persistent offenders could start to rebuild their broken lives. CPFs support led to the opening of Norman House in 1954. The project expanded and has been managed since 1994 by Stonham Housing Association, and still provides high levels of support to residents within a structure of group work, communal living and resident participation. In September 2004, Stonham held a celebratory seminar again supported by CPF to mark the half centenary of what is believed to be the longest running residential project for ex-offenders in the country, and to explore the future role of the voluntary sector in providing for the aftercare of ex-offenders.

been resolved and the money advanced has been returned with interest.)

Improving service
The mid-term review also looked at the operations of CPF and TfL. The Quality Framework developed by the Association of Charitable Foundations has been implemented and the Foundation is believed to be the first grant-making agency to have completed the framework and reached Level 3 the highest on all areas under scrutiny. As part of this process a new Grants Handbook has been developed. Another internal improvement has been the overhaul of the database including a new way to track the status of each funding application. This saves time and effort. The Foundation is also keen to ensure that applicants are

April More than 120m of government grants for voluntary and community organisations are put online at www.governmentfunding.org.uk. London will need 4bn over the next three years to plug its affordable housing gap, say the Chartered Institute of Housing, the Local Government Association and the National Housing Federation in a joint submission to the Treasury. A survey of Londoners shows 73% like living in the city, rising to 91% among Asians. The poll for the Commission on London Governance, showed 72% found the city's cultural and historical heritage the principal source of

pride. When asked to choose one identity, many more respondents chose Londoner than English. The Home Secretary announces an inquiry will be held into the murder of Asian teenager Zahid Mubarek by his cellmate at Feltham Young Offenders Institution. May The 125m Futurebuilders fund set up to help Englands voluntary and community organisations get involved in the provision of public services through investment in technology, staff training and capital projects will change the way public services are delivered, home secretary David Blunkett says. The Parenting Fund, worth 15.5m over two years, is launched to support vulnerable and disadvantaged parents, but is tiny in comparison to the extent of the need across England, according to childrens charity NCH. Charity commissioner Geraldine Peacock is appointed as the Commissions new chairwoman. June Under the government ChangeUp initiative, 72m has been given to the voluntary sector to promote its involvement in delivering public services. It will be used to build an infrastructure capable of providing extra capacity and delivering more services.

Building confidence
Women in Merton who experience mental health distress or feel their mental health is at risk have a support agency in the form of Merton Womens Drop-in to turn to. Working outside the traditional psychiatric framework the service supports and encourages members to participate as fully as possible in their communities. The Drop-In provides a relaxed, safe environment where a range of activities such as arts and crafts, computer training, yoga, a poetry group, talks by agencies and trips promote an ethos of mutual support, confidence building and selfempowerment. Weekly sessions help members who feel their wellbeing is at risk by identifying problems sooner and allowing early intervention. The group now goes out once a month to local venues, and the seaside. In 2004, it celebrated its tenth anniversary with a tour of the Houses of Parliament. Merton Womens Drop-In last year employed a development worker through a Trust for London grant. Without this funding, the group says it would have been unable to continue now it has evolved enormously and has considerable potential for immediate and long-term development.

10 years success
Among the umbrella and support bodies that CPF and TfL have established over the years is the Evelyn Oldfield Unit, set up in memory of a CPF field officer who died in 1992, to develop specialist support for refugee organisations, and enable them to tackle the needs of the communities they serve. Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the Unit, during which several events including a party in February were held to reflect on the achievements and review the work of the Unit. Another venture was an account of the Unit which is due to be published in 2005. Work also began during 2004 on a major new initiative the Refugee Communities History Project for which Trust for London is a leading funder to document and demonstrate the cultural, social and economic contributions made by members of refugee communities to London society since 1951. It will record the experiences of individual refugees from the time they first arrived in the city to the present day. These orally and visually recorded histories will be archived and exhibited at the Museum of London and the participating Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) will also be encouraged to use the life stories creatively for their own purposes. Fifteen RCOs are participating in the two year project, seven in the first year (2004-5) and eight in the second (2005-6).

satisfied with grant application procedures. Feedback from a survey about these was very positive. Not surprisingly perhaps, it was even more so among successful applicants. Because a very high level of applicants met the broad guidelines, it was necessary to refine priority areas. This has led to consideration of looking at ways of communicating changes, either through the web site or agreeing to tighter priorities at the start of the next quinquennium. A number of small changes have also been considered on administrative issues as a result of the feedback. For the remainder of the quinquennium, proactive work will focus on such areas as the Young Mens Project which is due for evaluation in 2005, and as already indicated,older people. Another area for activity is a further boost for the work

associated with hate crimes. CPF is also looking at ways of working with perpetrators of hate crimes, particularly race crimes the Runnymede Trust has already been funded to consider this issue.

Andrew Hind is appointed chief executive of the Charity Commission. His past employers include the BBC, Barnardos and Action Aid. London is the second most expensive city in the world behind Tokyo to live in, according to Mercer Human Resource Consultings survey. High accommodation and transport costs helped push it from seventh to second in a year. July Research by think tank nfpSynergy, based on a poll of 1,000 adults, shows that 58% of the public have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in charities, a rise of 25 percentage points since 1996. The latest figures place charities third in a confidence league table of

Wider picture
The mid-term review also looked at wider issues affecting the voluntary sector and how these might impact on and influence CPF and TfL funding in coming years. For instance, London is encountering major demographic changes. One quarter of the population is from minority ethnic communities, and the capital has a higher than average number of both older people and young people under the age of 25 than elsewhere in the country. These have significant implications for social welfare policy as these sections feature disproportionately highly among the poor. Another is the merger of the Community Fund and New Opportunities Fund into The Big Lottery Fund which will

institutions, behind the army and schools. London relies more on overseas-trained health staff than any other part of the UK, says a report by the Kings Fund. In the three London NHS trusts studied by the health charity, between 12% and 25% of nurses were not UK trained. High property costs are leaving Londoners hard up, run down and stressed out according to a report The Big Squeeze by the London Housing Federation. Salaries are up by 21% since 1999, but house prices leapt 58%. The amount of money owed by consumers has broken through the symbolic 1 trillion barrier for the first time. According to the National Consumer Council, about six million families are already struggling to keep up with credit commitments at a time when borrowing is rising. August Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell announces that the voluntary sector is to receive 60-70% of the Big Lottery Fund money. The BLF will have a free hand to set up its own grants programmes: government will no longer dictate how lottery cash is to be spent. An investigation by the Poppy Project has revealed that there are at least 730 licensed premises selling sex in the capital. The study also revealed that there are more than 8,000 women working as prostitutes in off-street venues.

Valuing potential recruiting and retaining staff

Over the past few years City Parochial Foundations field officers have noticed that a growing number of organisations had to delay taking up grants made by the Foundation for the purpose of employing workers in voluntary organisations. Time and again organisations report that they have been unable to appoint suitably experienced staff at the first attempt. Sometimes the posts have had to be restructured so that a higher salary can be offered; on other occasions the problem has been retention of staff rather than recruitment. Some exciting and badly needed initiatives have been blighted by these basic problems and have simply failed to achieve their objectives. The Foundation appointed two highly experienced voluntary sector consultants Julia Unwin and Lucy Ball to produce a discussion document which would attempt to identify the issues more clearly, explore some possible solutions, and, above all, provoke public debate on these important matters. This led to the publication in 2004 of the discussion document Valuing potential, which confirmed that the voluntary sector must look for new ways of attracting and keeping staff if they are to be fully effective in providing public services. The authors argued that the role of the voluntary sector as the initiator of new ways of dealing with desperate social problems needs to be preserved and enhanced but without adequately skilled people to do the work this is unlikely. They called on organisations to fish in different pools and

use different rods, in these ways broadening the numbers of potential recruits. Specific ideas put forward included: more attention to pay and pensions issues; greater flexibility in terms and conditions; more attention to job design; brands need to be developed to attract recruits; greater attention to meet individual preferences in styles of working; adopting techniques such as university milk rounds to attract graduates; greater use of secondments from other sectors perhaps through joint approaches such as a voluntary sector agency; and further efforts to promote diversity particularly at senior levels. The report acknowledges that none of the strategies will be cost free, requiring champions and supporters, both to promote new ways of working and to finance them. In his introduction to the document John Muir, chairman of City Parochial Foundations grants committee, pointed out that if the issues are not resolved they will have a perceptible, negative effect on the quality of public services, and the whole of the ambitious initiative to involve the voluntary sector would be imperilled. The document was issued at the hustings during the election for Mayor of London and efforts have been made to encourage others to consider the issues involved. Copies of Valuing potential are available from City Parochial Foundation, 6 Middle Street, London EC1A 7PH or can be downloaded as a pdf at www.cityparochial.org.uk/cpf/cpf_publications.html

distribute 50 per cent of lottery proceeds. This may have implications for Londons voluntary sector. Similarly the Charities Bill, the first major change in charity legislation for centuries will raise issues for all grant-makers and beneficiaries, subject to it reaching the statute book. There are also significant changes in social policy including the Governments target to eliminate child poverty over 20 years and associated pilot schemes such as SureStart and Connexions which may become universal. Merger of equal opportunities bodies into the Equality and Human Rights Commission is imminent. And the Neighbourhood Renewal, Social Exclusion and Homelessness Units are also due to amalgamate. It remains to be seen what the effects of all these will be, but with the Government committed to a wider role for the voluntary sector in delivering services, it is clear that there will be a lot of uncertainty and change over the coming years.

compared with 34% in the Trusts first year of operation. This is partly due to the growth of alternative small grants programmes which have emerged in recent years. As a result of the review, for the remainder of the quinquennium the Trust will prioritise and support, among others, applications from: black and minority ethnic communities for older peoples and womens groups; new communities from Eastern Europe which will require outreach work; groups tackling Islamophobia; creative educational activities and social education programmes; small black disability groups and user-led disabled organisations; new and emerging communities; organisations applying for core costs rather than project funds; estate-based organisations particularly those in isolated areas; and groups which show the highest level of user involvement. In its proactive work the Trust will look back at previous pioneering work such as the Small Groups Workers Scheme and the Financial Fitness project to see whether further work is necessary in these areas.

Inequality in Britain has continued to increase according to the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Fewer people are living in relative poverty than in 1997, but the proportion of wealth held by Britains richest 10% rose from 47% to 54% during the 1990s, it said. September Voluntary work may hold the key to happiness in the community. Those areas with the best quality of life had high levels of informal voluntary activity. October Workplace-based volunteering schemes are clocking up more than 1bn a years worth of staff time for charity, Home Office figures reveal. The NCVO launches a new collaborative working unit to advise voluntary and community organisations on how best to make savings and improve their services through closer joint working or even merging. Charities Aid Foundation research reveals that the average household spends three times as much on tobacco and more than three times on alcohol compared with the amount they give to charity. Women continue to give more to charity than men and the street tin collection is still the most popular way to make a donation. Charities could be fined in the future if they miss deadlines for preparing their annual reports and accounts for the Charity

Trust for London mid term review

Trust for London does not solely fund projects supporting the poor of London; rather its aim is to support small, new and emerging groups throughout the capital. This is reflected in the quinquennnial review in the spread of grants and as a result there is not the same concentration on the most deprived boroughs as is more the case for CPF. Overall, the review showed that the Trust is receiving more applications than ever and there is more demand than can be met evidence also indicates that the number of community groups is growing. The review also reveals that the number of first applications from groups that have not been funded by TfL before remains high at 55%, well in excess of the target of 33%. At the same time it is worth noting that the number of applications from groups that have never been funded from any other source has reduced to six per cent,

The new structure means that the new umbrella body for CPF and TfL is The City Parochial Foundation Trustee which has wider objects than currently and enable it to administer other charitable projects should these be considered appropriate in the future. In addition, the new body can amend its own constitution within the usual parameters set by the Charities Act and subject to entrenched rights of nomination to its Central Governing Body. Other changes have also come into effect during the past two years, including new terms of reference for committees, some changes to appointments to the Central Governing Body by external bodies and codes of conduct in line with current best practice.

his quinquennium is seeing major changes to the governance of the Foundation and Trust aimed at ensuring that they both have appropriate constitutions for current circumstances, to achieve greater flexibility and maintain an efficient and innovative approach to the work of both CPF and TfL. The first change was the adoption in January 2003 of a total return approach to investment which means it is possible to maintain a steadier approach to grant-making. This allows the Foundation to supplement its investment income with a proportion of capital gains that have accumulated. In this way peaks and troughs in the money that is available for grant-making can be evened out.
Employability is an initiative of the City Parochial Foundation and a number of refugee community organisations and Refugee agencies. It was established as a registered charity in 2000. Employability exists to provide practical help to qualified professionals from refugee communities in Britain. 2nd Floor Tower Building 11 York Road London SE1 7NX Tel: 020 7981 0375 Fax: 020 7981 0376 info@employabilityforum.co.uk www.employabilityforum.co.uk

City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London have set up a number of umbrella and support bodies to provide continuing help to other voluntary sector organisations and charities, often as a result of initiatives they have pursued. Alongside are details of three (others include Evelyn Oldfield Unit page 9 and Bellingham Community Project page 5)

The Resource Unit for Supplementary and Mother-tongue Schools The Resource Unit originated from research undertaken by the Trust for London in 1996. The research revealed that many supplementary and mother-tongue schools needed not only financial support, but also additional skills to obtain and handle funding and run classes more effectively. The Unit is London-based and provides advice and training for community groups running supplementary and mother-tongue schools 356 Holloway Road London N7 6PA Tel: 020 7700 8189 Fax: 020 7700 8128 info@resourceunit.com www.resourceunit.com

Voice of the people

London Citizen is the biggest single organising group of grassroots members in London, giving a voice to some of the most marginalised people, and ensuring that the issues that matter to them are addressed by decision makers. It exists so that the needs of the poor cannot be ignored by those in power. The group brings people together as an active forum, enabling them to put forward agendas for change. It begins by bringing together different civil and faith groups so that they can develop lasting relationships. It is not a singleissue group: the agenda is determined by the collective leadership with votes taken at public assemblies. During 2004, six large assemblies involving 300 or more people were organised with many more smaller meetings. The largest was a London mayoral election hustings where more than 1,700 people turned up. Among issues currently being followed are the campaign for a Roman Catholic sisters from south London, Muslim brothers from London mosques, and trades unionists attend the mayoral hustings.

of their donations is 872m, almost 7% up on the previous year. Only 34 of the FTSE 100 gave 1% or more. As the line between the charity sector and the government becomes more blurred, the public may be deterred from making donations and instead donate to charities abroad, according to the Charities Aid Foundation. Charities in the UK may find themselves becoming increasingly dependent on the public sector for their future funding. A new charity law that puts public benefit at the heart of charitable activity is announced in the Queens speech. It is the first time that charity law has been updated since the 1600s. The bill is likely to mean that charities must not only demonstrate that their purpose is charitable, but also of public benefit. A public benefit test, assessed case-by-case by the Charity Commission, will decide whether organisations should be granted charitable status based on the value their work brings to the wider community. Nearly 50% of young people living in London say they have been a victim of crime and one in five that they have been bullied, according to an ICM survey. London has the highest rate of child poverty of anywhere in England, according to a report commissioned by the Mayor of London. It found 38% of children in London are living in relative poverty compared with

living wage, support for the 2012 Olympics bid as a result of negotiation on ethical guarantees for local community benefits, and more public toilets in south London following closures in the Brixton area.

CPF has funded part of the core costs for the organiser in east London.

The past year has seen a number of changes. In January Maggie Baxter took over as Chair of the Central Governing Body following her election in Autumn 2003. She replaced Professor Gerald Manners who has served since 1996, and who remains on the Central Governing Body. Professor Manners service was marked by a lunch in February, and at the end of the year he was honoured with an OBE. He has also taken over as Chairman of the Association of Charitable Foundations. Also in January Nigel Pantling was appointed Vice Chairman. At the end of 2003 the Bishop of Willesden resigned. His replacement for the remainder of his term of office is the Archdeacon of London, The Venerable Peter Delaney. During the year Billy Dove resigned after five years service and was replaced as a Corporation of London nominee by Robert Hughes-Penney. Another new appointment during the year was Murziline Parchment, nominated by the Greater London Authority for a five year term.

During the year the Foundation was sad to learn of the death of Lord Henniker, who was with the Foundation from 1973 to 1990. He played a central role in the birth of Trust for London, the priorities of which were much influenced by his support for small groups. Another who will be missed is Lady Marre CBE who died in March 2005. She served on the Foundations Central Governing Body from 1975 to 1993, the last four years as Vice Chairman. She was described as an inspiring colleague. In the summer a presentation was made to Tina Stiff, Publications and IT Manager, who celebrated 20 years as a member of the Foundations staff. August saw the departure of Martin Jones, Director of Grants and Programmes since September 2000, following several months of ill health. This led to a small restructuring involving the replacement of the Director post with two new Principal Officer posts. These have been taken by Sioned Churchill and Mubin Haq who had both been covering the Directors role during his absence.

April 2005 saw the retirement of Beulah Scott, personal assistant to the Director of Grants and Programmes after 15 years service. The occasion was marked by a reception and presentation. Beulah is seen here with John Muir and Bharat Mehta.

Group which will advise the Central Governing Body on ways in which governance, management and operations could be amended and improved. Its purpose will not be to consider specific funding priorities for the next quinquennium but to provide a general steer on issues that the Foundation may wish to consider. Among improvements it has already recommended and which have now been put in place are induction procedures including an introductory pack about CPF and TfL for new members of the Central Governing Body. This makes provision for them to accompany field officers on grants assessments and monitoring visits to groups applying or already being funded. The groups recommendations for achieving greater diversity on the Central Governing Body have already been agreed. This may involve advertising specifically targeted to attract minority ethnic and other underrepresented sections of Londons population, where possible. One concern for many voluntary bodies is that many applications come from people who, for instance, are able to dictate their own time and attend daytime meetings. In future the Foundation will be looking at such issues to limit any barriers to involvement by potential members. For most people and in particular the groups applying for funds, these changes will have no observable effects, but CPF and TfL feel that the new structure provides a more modern and flexible approach, which will over time, assist in ensuring efficiency and accountability which will have long term benefits for funding programmes and the groups themselves. One problem that arose for a number of funders late in 2004 was evidence of alleged fraud by a number of groups, including a few funded by Trust for London. This is still under investigation by the police.

November saw the official opening of Bramble Close, at Chigwell, Essex, a scheme by Papworth Trust providing specialist accommodation to meet the needs of people with severe disabilities. CPF provided the land on which the project is built at a peppercorn rent.

an England average of 29%. It found poverty is most common among children from ethnic minorities. Child poverty rates in the inner city stand at 54% and at 30% in outer London. A survey carried out for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation by the New Policy Institute reveals that seven million workers in Britain earn less than 6.50 an hour four million of them women. However, the number of families with incomes below the poverty line fell to 12.4m from 14m over the same period. December More than 100 charities, trade unions and campaign groups have joined forces to fight poverty. The Make Poverty History campaign says it wants

CPF and TfL believe that the methods used principally visits to all groups (which are not made by all grant-makers) do stand both organisations in good stead. Although things can go wrong, such procedures go a long way to ensuring as far as possible that funds are correctly applied. An innovation developed during 2004 was a series of lunchtime briefing seminars on topical issues. During the year, prominent people in their fields made presentations on HIV/Aids, Congolese communities in the capital, and race hate crimes. Another development has been twice yearly learning seminars, bringing together groups working in similar

laws stopping big business from profiting at the expense of people and the environment. It wants an end to exports being dumped in ways that harm poor rural communities around the world. And it is also calling for the unpayable debts of the poorest countries to be cancelled in full and at least an extra $50bn to be given in aid each year. London and the South East have had the fastest growing populations in the past 10 years, the Halifax bank says. Britains smallest local authority area, the City of London, recorded the fastest growth rate at 51%. Four other London authorities were also in the top 10 for population increases: Westminster 26%, Kensington and Chelsea 23%, Tower Hamlets 22% and Camden 18%. London councils have the worst record in the country for prosecuting pet owners who let their dogs foul the streets, according to Keep Britain Tidy. London imposed just 13 of the 1,376 fines handed out nationally in the five-month period from November 2003. Almost nine out of 10 London leisure venues are not accessible to disabled people, according to disability group Scope.
City Parochial Foundation welcomes grant applications from registered charities or charitable organisations which tackle the causes of poverty or help Londoners to cope with, and find ways out of poverty. Particular priorities include tackling discrimination, isolation and violence. Applications are encouraged particularly from groups working with black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; disabled people; established communities, often predominantly white, living in areas of long-term poverty; lesbians and gay men; refugees and asylum seekers; young people aged 10-25; and womens groups. Types of work may involve advice, information and individual advocacy; education, training and employment schemes; and organisations developing initiatives to tackle violence and hate crimes. The Foundation also supports work to change policy relating to its main aims; second tier organisations providing support to other groups; and collaborative work between two or more groups.

areas to share knowledge and update each other. Topics covered were policy work and advocacy. Arising from one of these was an article published in Trust and Foundation News, the journal of the Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF), on ways of evaluating policy work. An important issue for the future of the charitable sector was the publication at the end of the year of the Charities Bill, heralding the biggest change in legislation governing the sector for centuries. It was heartening to see that representations by the ACF, strongly supported by CPF and TfL, had their effect, in that the Bill recognises the distinctive nature of independent grant-makers compared to other charities and the need to ensure that regulatory burdens do not discourage philanthropy.

Trust for London funds work with small new and emerging voluntary organisations that benefit people and communities in London. These are groups with no more than the equivalent of two full-time paid staff. Funding can cover delivery of services; access to training; and organising meetings, conferences, seminars and events to identify problems, raise awareness, identify solutions or promote good practice. Funding can also be used to cover everyday costs, buying equipment and paying some staff costs. TfL is particularly keen to work with black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; disabled people; groups providing educational activities for children and young people; refugee and migrant groups; and self-help groups. Maximum funding is 10,000 a year and for a maximum of three years.

Tackling conflict
Leap established in 1987 - works with young people aged 13-25 to explore the causes and consequences of conflict in their lives and to find solutions. Priority is given to people experiencing disadvantage and exclusion. It works through challenging and inter-active group work to help them develop individually, and to improve the quality of life in communities. Leap starts with the philosophy that conflict is an inevitable part of young peoples lives, and that if it is left unresolved it can be damaging to individuals themselves and those around them. The group believes that training young people in self-awareness, personal accountability, listening to others, communication and mediation skills, engages their intellect, heart and spirit, helping build confidence and skills and renewing enthusiasm and motivation for their work. One project is the Quarrel Shop where 16-21 year-olds from inner city boroughs learn mediation, communication and conflict resolution skills using discussions, games, exercises and role play. The sessions take place in host agencies which often deal with young people who are experiencing specific problems such as homelessness or substance abuse.

Living London history

S
adlers Wells, the Old Vic, Chelsea Physic Garden, Hampstead Heath, Whitechapel Art Gallery these are all symbols of London, its heritage and culture. And all have direct connections with City Parochial Foundation. CPF has been operating in the capital for 112 years and during that time it has been associated with many innovative projects and institutions, not all of which were popular at the time, but which have since become firmly established and significant features of the London scene. Back in the early days, education for the working man was an important priority. It was the time when polytechnics had just arrived, and CPF took an active part in providing funds for their expansion. Linked to this were a number of kindred institutions which also attracted the support of Trustees including Chelsea Physic Garden, Whitechapel Art Gallery and the Old Vic. The latter was supported on a number of occasions over the years. And CPF was also instrumental in backing the establishment of Sadlers Wells, an Old Vic offshoot, in the 1930s. Another early priority was maintenance of open space in the capital. Among the best known areas that Trustees supported were the expansion of Hampstead Heath, Hackney Marshes and Coram Fields. By the 1930s, this enthusiasm had developed into the provision of leisure facilities, some of these linked to large London County Council estates such as Dagenham and Becontree, and the development of Grange Farm holiday centre in Chigwell, which continues to thrive. Bellingham Community Project in Lewisham was another it is still supported by CPF. In their time such projects were not considered appropriate for public funding but, as a result of their success and changes in attitudes, they have come to be regarded as important facilities that should be supported by central and local government. In the second half of the twentieth century Trustees began to direct funding increasingly towards organisations providing services to groups concerned with a wide range of social issues, many of them also unpopular at the time. This was a period of large scale immigration and racism began to be a serious issue. The need to do something led Trustees to provide support to organisations set up to tackle the problem. Poor housing was another serious concern after the second world war. After initially providing funds for direct provision, CPF later made funds available to organisations such as Shelter to provide advice to homeless people, and Housing Societies Charitable Trust (now HACT) which supported the establishment of housing associations some of which have now grown to become multi million pound social businesses housing many thousands of Londoners. Greater London Association for the Disabled received backing, and support for GLAD and similar organisations continues today. Many other groups dealing with social problems such as child poverty, unemployment, drug and alcohol dependency and abuse, youth disadvantage and womens welfare have been seen as priority groups by the Trustees. More recently, issues such as prison reform, and the needs of refugee and migrant communities have featured prominently, alongside support for very small voluntary groups that provide vital services for their often isolated and disadvantaged clients. This type of support has been a major feature of the approach adopted by Trust for London which was set up in 1986 to replace funding of voluntary bodies which had previously been supported by the defunct Greater London Council. If past experience is anything to go by, todays funding by CPF and TfL will see benefits for many Londoners extending for years to come, through institutions that become established and vital contributors to Londons evolving heritage.
