Annual Review 2011

About Trust for London

Trust for London is the largest independent charitable foundation funding work which tackles poverty and inequality in the capital. We support work providing greater insights into the root causes of Londons social problems and how they can be overcome; activities which help people improve their lives; and work empowering Londoners to influence and change policy, practice and public attitudes. We are particularly interested in work that is viewed as challenging and we are willing to take risks. One of our longstanding principles is to support activities that Government is unlikely to fund. We also want to make sure that we are able to respond to new issues and ideas and find creative ways of tackling deep-rooted problems relating to poverty and inequality. Annually we provide around 7 million in grants and at any one point we are supporting some 400 voluntary and community organisations. Established in 1891, we were formerly known as City Parochial Foundation. This Annual Review highlights our work during 2011, all of which is described in more detail on our website www.trustforlondon.org.uk. This also features a number of publications and initiatives detailed in this Review.

The front cover shows a Celebration of Fatherhood, which was an event hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fatherhood at the House of Lords in the week leading up to Fathers Day 2011. The event was organised by The Fatherhood Institute which is a think-tank that promotes father-inclusive approaches to policy and practice. The Trust provided 55,000 over two years towards the Institutes Dad Factor project, which aims to work with Childrens Centres in East London to improve the involvement of fathers who have arrived in the UK within the past two years. The grant also includes an independent evaluation by the University of East Anglia. www.fatherhoodinstitute.org

Trust for London Annual Review 2011

Foreword
Rising unemployment, particularly amongst young adults, growing inequality and a 60% increase in inwork poverty over the last decade were amongst some of the challenging data revealed in our latest edition of Londons Poverty Profile, our flagship independent report monitoring poverty and inequality in the capital, which we published in October 2011. Alongside these growing problems, last summers riots across London shocked its citizens. The causes are still debated, but what is clear is the need for all of us to have a stake in society, and the work we fund has this at its heart. migration, British Future; Social Policy in a Cold Climate, a research project by the LSE on the impact of the recession, welfare reforms and cuts between 2007-14; and the Strategic Legal Fund, seeking to establish case law to improve the lives of young refugees.

Not only was there volatility in the streets but also in the investment markets, which generate a significant proportion of the income we use to make our grants. Whilst acknowledging the uncertainty in the markets and the continuing economic downturn, we agreed a grants budget for 2011 at the same level as in the preceding year. We felt it important to recognise that those experiencing poverty and disadvantage in London were likely to be the most severely affected by the proposed budget cuts and welfare reforms.

I would like to thank my fellow trustees, and co-optees, staff and advisers for the work they do in promoting the mission of the Trust. I would especially like to thank trustees who stepped down in early 2012 after stalwart service: Elahe Panahi and Miles Barber who completed their terms of office; and Tzeggai Yohannes Deres who retired early to take up the post of Chair of an international convention seeking reconciliation in Eritrea.

Challenging times lie ahead and the Trust, as throughout its history as an endowed and independent funder, will play its part in enabling and empowering the poorest and most disadvantaged Londoners to tackle these social and economic problems.

The Annual Review provides a summary of the grants made by the Trust to 139 voluntary and community organisations working to address poverty and inequality in London, either through one of the five funding priorities of our open funding programme or via our special initiatives.

Peter Williams Chair

During the year we embarked on a number of new special initiatives. Some of these new initiatives are being undertaken in partnership with other funders: the establishment of a new think tank on identity and

Improving employment opportunities

35 grants - 2,022,088
Employment is a key route out of poverty. Whilst the clearest benefits to an individual are financial, work is also important in improving peoples confidence, self-worth, health and increasing their independence. However, Londoners are facing the most competitive jobs market for a generation. Unemployment is at its highest since 1996, and finding work has become even harder, with 11 unemployed Londoners chasing every job vacancy. In 2011 we funded a wide range of activities to help individuals into jobs, stay in work, and improve their pay and working conditions. A key focus was young adults, reflecting the growing concern that over one million are unemployed in the UK. Our funding included grants to the Construction Youth Trust to help young people gain work in the construction industry, particularly in the Olympic host boroughs; New Deal of the Mind towards a campaign promoting fair pay, recruitment and employment practices for entry level jobs in the arts and creative industries, helping to tackle the prolific use of unpaid internships; and Cool2Care to help train and place young people as personal assistants for disabled young people. Another key area of work continues to be support for disabled people. The Governments Work Capability Assessment designed to gauge whether a sick or disabled individual is fit to work has attracted significant criticism. Some 400,000 have appealed the decision to reduce their welfare benefits, with 40% succeeding. We funded a wide range of work including legal advice provided by the Disability Law Service; and Islington Mind to continue its work with employers to support people with mental health issues to remain in their jobs. To date, the work has achieved this goal as well as reducing grievances, disciplinary action and long-term sickness. We also published an independent evaluation of work by Spare Tyre and Heart n Soul, which we funded, which aimed at securing paid employment in the creative sector for people with learning disabilities. It found that with in-depth support a significant number gained freelance work and employers became more aware of the additional resources required when employing a learning disabled person.

Promoting the inclusion of recent arrivals to the UK

28 grants - 1,589,238
The capital attracts migrants from across the world. Many come to study, others to work, some to join family members and a small number are fleeing persecution and seeking asylum. Some come here for a short time, whilst others have longer term plans and eventually settle. Many do not need any support but there are some who are disadvantaged and living in poverty and it is this population which is the focus of our funding under this aim. A key area of our work is funding specialist immigration advice, which many providers are increasingly having difficulty in delivering, as evidenced by the closure of two of the largest organisations in recent years Refugee and Migrant Justice and the Immigration Advisory Service. We funded a number of organisations to provide advice including the Childrens Legal Centre, Migrants Resource Centre and Islington Law Centre for its work to build capacity within the asylum and migration sector to fully utilise strategic litigation work. To aid this work, we agreed to work closely with the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund in the development of a pilot project for a Strategic Legal Fund for Refugee Children and Young People. This funds interventions and pre-litigation legal research, work which goes beyond securing justice for an individual to make a significant contribution to law, practice and procedures. It can fund private firms of solicitors as well as voluntary organisations and is run by MigrationWork with the support of an expert panel of legal practitioners. An independent evaluation of this pilot is expected in 2012. Together with a number of other independent foundations we agreed to establish a new social justice communications agency, working on changing public attitudes towards migrants and migration. In 2011 this came to fruition and British Future was created. Working with and through the media, the agency will aim to provide a clear, evidenced-based and consistent narrative on migration, which will be delivered by advocates from all walks of life. We hope this will complement and strengthen existing work undertaken by the refugee and migrant sector.

Trust for London Annual Review 2011

Established in 1975, Women and Manual Trades was the first group formed by women to promote working in the construction and building sector. Very few women work in the construction industry; those that do, often face sexism and harassment leaving them isolated. It works in partnership with training bodies, employers, public sector organisations and tradeswomen to address the issues that prevent women entering, or continuing to work in manual trades.

The Trust provided 70,000 funding towards the core costs of running a training scheme to skill up more women to take up employment opportunities in the sector. www.wamt.org

Promoting Social Justice

22 grants - 1,418,400
In a period of reforms and cuts, campaigning and advocacy is needed more than ever, particularly as a number of these changes are likely to have a detrimental impact on the poorest in society. We funded a number of organisations which sought to review and challenge these reforms. This included grants to: Shelter to measure the impact of housing benefit changes; Fawcett to identify and campaign against cuts which impact on women; and Legal Action Group to undertake research to assess and analyse changes to the funding of social welfare law, which included opinion polling to capture Londoners views of advice services. We also funded Child Poverty Action Group to employ a London Co-ordinator to strengthen the coalition of organisations working in the capital to tackle child poverty. We worked closely with a number of these organisations through the London Child Poverty Alliance, sharing information on current work and coordinating lobbying activities relating to the London Mayoral elections in 2012, including the creation of a joint manifesto aimed at the Mayoral candidates. An issue of growing concern for the Trust relates to the very high levels of income inequality in the capital. The climate to discuss how this can be addressed has improved and several initiatives, which came to fruition in 2011, aided this including the High Pay Commission and the Hutton Review of Fair Pay. Complementing this was research we funded which found overwhelming public support for action to tackle pay inequality. The report, Getting what we deserve, by IPPR, investigated the role of pay as reward for different kinds of work, skills and outcomes. Drawing on polling and extensive qualitative research, it considered what the appropriate foundations for improvement might be. The opinion poll of over 2,000 adults found an overwhelming 78% would support government action to reduce the gap between high and low earners, with 82% of those saying government should act in both the public and private sectors. A further report is due in 2012.

Strengthening the skills of the voluntary & community sector

6 grants - 395,792
Our focus is on three areas: campaigning and policy change; research; and learning and evaluation. A significant grant we made in 2011 was to establish a new strategic umbrella-body for Londons Somali community, together with funding from City Bridge Trust. The Council of Somali Organisations is working with Somali groups to tackle issues of poverty and to provide a stronger voice for this community. Alongside grants, we continued to provide funding plus support to groups. This is where we offer additional support alongside a grant, to help organisations become more effective. For example, all organisations we fund can attend free training on monitoring and evaluation, and during the year Charities Evaluation Services delivered 13 training sessions for us. The Sheila McKechnie Foundation continued its Influencing Change course, which helps organisations understand how government makes decisions and how to influence it. Over 20 participants learned from experts how to develop a campaign strategy and work with the media. Along with the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund we funded the Institute for Voluntary Action Research to examine different approaches to funding plus. The research examined the benefits and challenges of different approaches.

Supporting small community groups

38 grants - 830,932
We continued to fund small grassroots groups which we believe play a vital role in responding to their communities needs. This may be by campaigning; providing advice and support to help people access their rights; or through cultural and educational projects. A significant proportion of our funding was for migrant and refugee community groups to provide information and advice. These organisations are often a lifeline to those in need of support, many of whom, for reasons of language or culture, may find it difficult to get help from a more mainstream agency. Grants included support for Afghan women, Portuguese-speaking Africans, Latin Americans and Somalis.

London Gypsy and Traveller Unit provides a range of services for gypsy and traveller communities which includes community development, media awareness, accommodation advice and policy work. The Trust provided 75,000 towards the salary of the Directors post and a new Community Worker to help strengthen the role of the London Gypsy and Travellers

Forum. The grant will be used to press for better rights in relation to settlement and accommodation for the gypsy and traveller community particularly as part of the Mayors London Plan. www.lgtu.org.uk

Special Initiatives
Special Initiatives are where we want to make a greater strategic impact on a particular issue, and to which we commit additional resources, including significant staff time. We are currently working on a number of programmes highlighted below. We were also involved in supporting the work of Fair Pensions to persuade FTSE 100 companies to adopt the living wage and were one of a number of investors, who signed a letter inviting them to become living wage employers - we are delighted some agreed to do so.

Tackling Female Genital Mutilation (2010-13)

We continue to collaborate with Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and Rosa, the UK Fund for Women and Girls, on our programme to address Female Genital Mutilation. The interim report of the external evaluation was published in October. This found good progress had been made on tackling FGM within affected communities, particularly with building relationships with religious leaders to highlight that FGM is neither necessary nor desirable according to religious principles. The 14 groups funded through this joint initiative have also organised a large number of workshops, strengthened networks and developed effective ways of conducting grass-roots communitybased prevention work. However, there are still many challenges in achieving the goal of eliminating this practice, not least the lack of a prosecution on FGM in the UK.

Londons Poverty Profile

The latest edition of Londons Poverty Profile was launched in October. It updated a wide range of indicators and assessed what had changed since the first report in 2009 and over the last decade. The launch event, chaired by Jackie Long, Channel 4 Social Affairs Editor, included a lively debate between Nick Pearce, Director of IPPR and Neil OBrien, Director of Policy Exchange on the relationship between poverty and the summer riots. The report, produced for the Trust by New Policy Institute, received widespread coverage in the media. With a particular focus on housing, it emphasized that high housing costs continue to be a significant reason why poverty is higher in London than the rest of England and predicted that housing benefit changes would make parts of Inner London unaffordable for low-income families renting privately. One effect of this could be that people move to Outer London where housing is cheaper. However, the report warned that Outer London boroughs may not be adequately prepared to respond to any increase in families as many have lower levels of public services such as GP provision and primary school places. To complement this work we funded two significant research programmes. In partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Nuffield Foundation, we funded the London School of Economics to measure the impact of the recession, spending changes and the governments social policy reforms on inequality and poverty in the UK. A specific London element will involve case studies of three London boroughs to assess the impact of different local approaches. In addition, a grant was made to Professor Danny Dorling at the University of Sheffield to create the Real Map of London, an on-line social atlas providing new insights into poverty and inequality in the capital.

London Living Wage (2008-13)

London Citizens marked the 10th anniversary of the Living Wage campaign at Methodist Central Hall in May, with the launch of the Living Wage Foundation. The Foundation, created as part of our special initiative, is a new accreditation body for employers paying the living wage. At the event the Trusts Chief Executive, Bharat Mehta, also announced the new London Living Wage figure of 8.30, which is set annually by the Greater London Authority. A key part of the campaign has been to target industries which have a culture of low pay, in particular the retail sector. The Evening Standard ran a feature on low pay on Oxford Street and highlighted stark differentials in pay between those at the top and bottom of the workforce, which in one instance was as wide as 415 times. One in five of Londons workers are not paid a Living Wage, many employed by our largest retailers. The article was successful in signing up the first living wage retailer, Lush, and during the year London Citizens undertook a concerted campaign encouraging Tesco to become a living wage employer.

The London Living Wage special initiative was set up at the end of 2008 and developed from our commitment to challenge the unacceptable level of in-work poverty that many Londoners experience. We funded London Citizens to take forward campaign work and promote the idea to a greater number of employers through the creation of a new Living Wage Foundation. It also includes research into the cost and benefits of adopting a living wage. To date, we have invested around 1 million in the initiative.

No Longer Invisible: the Latin American community in London

There is a largely hidden but growing population of Latin Americans in London. With concerns that their needs were not being taken into account by policy makers and service providers, the Trust, in collaboration with the Latin American Womens Rights Service, commissioned Queen Mary, University of London to undertake research into this community. The report, No Longer Invisible was launched by the Deputy Mayor, Richard Barnes, at City Hall in May. It established the first robust estimate of the size of the community (113,500) and found it was comparable in size to other large migrant and ethnic groups in the capital. Whilst it is a largely young, well-educated population which has very high employment rates, the majority are unable to utilise their skills and over half are employed in low-skilled, low-paid jobs. It also found Latin Americans are experiencing high levels of exploitation and discrimination, especially in the workplace. LAWRS is working with other community organisations to take forward a number of recommendations raised in the report.

Preventing Racist Violence (2007-11)

Three organisations were funded to work with young people in Thamesmead, Bexley and Barking & Dagenham to prevent their involvement in racist violence, and an evaluation of the initiative by the Runnymede Trust was completed at the end of 2011. To share the findings, a policy roundtable was organised in November with Andrew Stunell MP (Minister for Race Equality and Cohesion), civil servants, a number of lead agencies and representatives of the projects. A key finding discussed was that the zero tolerance approach to racism had not been effective in addressing the issue and that a different approach was needed. Two local events were also organised, one in Woolwich and the other in Bexleyheath. The evaluation report launch coincided with the verdict on the Stephen Lawrence trial and generated some media interest including in The Times.

Tackling Modern Day Slavery

Although this initiative came to a conclusion last year, we continued some related work. With the Olympics fast approaching, we worked with a small group of organisations concerned about the potential impact the Games may have on vulnerable groups. We funded a report launched by End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) on the connections between sport, including major sporting events, and violence against women. EVAW has been working with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to ensure that all visitors are given information about the UK law on domestic and sexual violence and raising the profile of womens safety before, during and after the Games. We had a letter published in The Times raising our concerns about Government proposals to remove the already limited protection for migrant domestic workers in peoples homes. More than two-thirds of migrant domestics who work in private households in the UK work seven days a week with no time off; and almost half work at least 16 hours per day, for no more than 50 per week. Half have been subject to psychological abuse. We also wrote directly to the Immigration Minister, Damian Green, about our concerns and both letters were co-signed by the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Bromley Trust.

Safeguarding Childrens Rights (2007-12)

This initiative aims to strengthen community-based preventive work to promote the rights, safety and wellbeing of Londons African children, with a particular focus on tackling abuse linked to beliefs in witchcraft and spirit possession. In May a joint conference was organised with the London Safeguarding Children Board to launch the independent evaluation of the initiative. The conference, chaired by Baroness Howarth, was attended by 120 people drawn from police, health, childrens services, education and childrens charities and provided an opportunity to hear more about work with communities affected by this issue. The evaluation, undertaken by the Centre for Social Work Research, made a number of recommendations which included the need to embed greater understanding of faith-based abuse within the existing child protection framework and that local Safeguarding Children Boards should be offering training to enhance understanding of the issues. Trust staff, along with the groups funded as part of this initiative, were invited to be members of the Governments national working group on religion, witchcraft and child safeguarding, which is due to launch a new action plan shortly.

Alongside this, we sponsored the launch of a new exhibition at the Museum of London, created in partnership with Anti-Slavery International, exploring the impact of human trafficking and slavery in London today.

Capital for London

Distinct from our grant-making programme, we launched Capital for London, a new brand for our investment in activities which offer both a financial and social return. Our most significant new investment is with Ethical Property Company to develop a new Human Rights and Social Justice Centre. With an estimated cost of 10 million, the aim is to create a dynamic centre where human rights groups can occupy space on affordable and flexible terms; share resources and facilities; and educate and influence the wider public on social justice issues. During the year more investors signed up including Barrow Cadbury Trust, LankellyChase, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and Bridges Ventures. We also started major refurbishment of our conference and office space in north London, Resource for London, which is due to be completed in 2012.
