Having just celebrated 15 growing years of the Northamptonshire Community Foundation we would like to thank you for your continued support and because of this we’ve been able to help more local charities and organisations here in Northamptonshire to address issues that really matter including food and fuel poverty, helping young people into work and supporting elderly people who are lonely and isolated. Our impact results showed that whilst we are working to address the challenges and issues faced by our communities, child poverty is rising in many areas of our county and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen.

You helped us to support projects across Northamptonshire providing funding for arts, culture and heritage, health and wellbeing, sporting champions and organisations, disability support, children and young people and crime safety schemes.

You’ll be pleased to know that for the second year running we have awarded grants in excess of £1million to help our local communities thrive and survive.

All of this we could not have achieved without the support Paul Southworth OBE DL of our donors, fund holders, partners, staff and trustees here at the Foundation. We have seen an unprecedented Chair of Trustees increase in the number of funds we manage as more and more of you see the Foundation as a philanthropic solution to providing funds for much needed local causes.

As you turn the pages of this Yearbook and read the richness of the stories that unravel, the random acts of human kindness and the valuable support that continues to enrich our communities, I ask you to share the stories with others who may not have heard about the work of the Foundation and the organisations that it supports and encourage them to contact us, so that we can share the local knowledge and difference that community philanthropy can bring to an area.

We look forward to working with you to achieve another 15 years of giving back to vital projects across Northamptonshire to ensure that we continue to make it a better place to live, work and play. Victoria Miles DL Thank you. Chief Executive Our Year | 4 Partnership Works

The outstanding generosity of our donors and partners enables us to achieve the effective distribution of local funds throughout the county.

We thank our partners for their ongoing support to the Foundation and the voluntary and community sector it supports.

We were delighted to announce a three year grants programme with The First for Wellbeing Fund, which will support a wide range of health and wellbeing projects and activities across Northamptonshire.

A much needed fund proving to be extremely popular with our communities.

Our strong association with Royal and Derngate on their Unforgettable Gift Campaign, meant that 300 disadvantaged children and families got the opportunity to see the Christmas show and pantomime at the theatres. Generous donations came from audience members and from the Foundation who helped to fund the gift of theatre to hundreds of children to enjoy an unforgettable magical live theatre experience.

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the second performance - once again we all had a fabulous time, the children were spellbound. The really great thing about that performance was the screens with the dialogue transcript, so the children got to follow the story better.

Our Year | 10 Named Funds Named Funds continue to inspire donors to channel their giving through the Foundation

Establishing a Fund through Northamptonshire Community Foundation Whilst there will always be a place for the conventional route of setting up a charity, a unique feature of Community Foundations is the ability to establish a personal or corporate fund where the administrative burden and legal compliance is managed by us but, importantly, you, the donor can remain as closely involved in the application of your money as you wish. A named fund with Northamptonshire Community Foundation works in a similar way to a charitable trust but is a lot easier to manage.

Mick and Sheila White Fund This fund was set up by husband and wife Mick and Sheila White and is facilitated by Northamptonshire Community Foundation to support the county’s brilliant sporting talent. The Eagles bowls team are a recipient of the fund. The Eagles meet every Tuesday night at Bowls Club largely comprising of players with Down’s syndrome and their carers.

Mary Muir the team’s co-ordinator said: “The Eagles all love their new shirts. “They have become a real team since receiving them. “The bowlers with disabilities are dressed the same as the helpers and it is very clear to everyone in the club that we are The Eagles.

Welcome to the Foundation’s third Impact Review. We are delighted to share with you insights and highlights into the value and demonstrated difference that donations and grants are making to our county and local communities within Northamptonshire.

The data paints a picture of the demonstrated difference grant awards have made to local people and communities on behalf of a range of donors. The information is based on completed end of grant reports from funded groups and charities within the last year. The impact measurement tool that we use enables the Foundation to capture and to demonstrate the value of the broad range of awards given out.

We provide impact case studies across individual awards and donor programmes. The themes, outcomes and indicators of the framework enable us to capture the kind of change that groups are achieving and make us better able to track transformation and communicate this to current and potential donors and the wider community.

Based on projects completed in the last year submitted to the Foundation we have supported 121,466 people at an average cost of £6.33 per beneficiary.

Out of 121,466* beneficiaries for completed projects 25,879 were in the top 20% of most deprived areas nationally. This represents projects doing targeted work in specific ward areas of Northamptonshire. Please note that funded groups working across several wards may also benefit people living in the top 20% of most deprived areas.

Our impact review work also helps inform us of our impact challenges for the following year which staff will address through a range of good practice approaches. The Foundation Impact Committee also reviews the Foundation’s progress every 6 months. Last year we worked towards increasing funding opportunities for groups in Wellingborough and Kettering for example. We were able to increase the beneficiary reach in Kettering from 3490 to 11,441 and in Wellingborough from 6737 to 16,700 based on completed reports. This was achieved through targeted communications and press, funder fayres, partnership working, face to face meetings with local groups and voluntary and community sector representatives.

Northamptonshire Community Foundation also works in partnership with Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire to better support the groundwork for voluntary and community activity to thrive in local communities. This helps create opportunities for new groups and projects to help provide local solutions to the issues that affect our communities.

Whether you are an individual, company, charitable trust or statutory organisation we can help you make a lasting impact on an issue you feel passionate about.

*Please note that one beneficiary may have benefited by more than one project but this is not information we can quantify or track and also an individual may have benefited in several different ways via a project. Our Year | 15
