Message from the Chairman Responding to Change

We have continued to face the challenges to all in the voluntary and community sector serving disadvantaged communities. With the economy still in intensive care, public expenditure cuts deepening and both factors aligning with benefit reductions, London’s poorest communities have been disproportionately affected. Some commentators have called this a ‘perfect storm’.

Message from the Chief Grants Officer How is our Support Helping? A year of growth and change presented us with a dilemma. How should we balance a response to new needs, thrown up by economic turmoil in a rapidly changing operating environment, while maintaining our core programmes? These include issues facing older Londoners, the environment and our flagship programme supporting work with and for people with disabilities. Needs in these areas have not diminished and sticking with these has enabled us to build up our knowledge.

How did we make the most of all our assets? Social Investmen t

The last decade has seen leading foundations, philanthropists and social financiers focussed on the development of a series of concepts around social investment. Whilst we followed the debate with great interest, it was in 2012-13 that we got majorly involved. Pressing social need, growing inequalities in London and the awareness that philanthropy alone could not, and had never been able to, meet all the demands placed on it resulted in a new investment approach. In July the City of London Corporation decided to set aside £20 million from within Developing the Social Investing to tackle homelessness.

Why I give

“My experience is that there is a huge amount both charities and their supporters can learn from each other, some great friendships to be made, as well as being one of the most personally rewarding and enriching experiences you could want. You’ll be as surprised by what you can give as well as what you take away.” Charlie Green, founder and director of the Private Equity Foundation, now merged with Impetus Trust, on whose trustee board he sits.

“The more you get involved, time and money, the more you can see that you can make some sort of impact.

What is City Philanthropy? At the heart of this three year initiative is the City Philanthropy website cityphilanthropy.org.uk containing all you need to know about philanthropy, ways to give and the personal stories of ‘givers’ new and old. It is a unique City resource. Giving is a very personal act, there is no right strategy, it is a question of what matters to you, what you want to achieve and how you wish to give. The website explains all from a particular City perspective. City Funding Network – Putting the Fun into Funding Connecting with like-minded people who want to do good, while having a good time, is growing in the city. In July we launched the City Funding Network, a giving circle of approximately 100 young professionals at the start of their Putting the fun into funding. City careers.

How did we improve the lives of vulnerable Londoners? Improving Londoners’ Men tal Health One in four people in the UK experience some form of mental illness during their lifetime. There is good reason to believe that in London the number is even greater. The high prevalence of people with dual diagnoses (mental health and drug and alcohol problems) and London’s large concentration of people in contact with the Criminal Justice System points to the need for a range of specialist mental health services. Maytree Respite Centre London has high numbers of people attempting suicide. In the UK more than 5,000 people kill themselves each year and for every completed suicide there are 20 or 30 people who have made an attempt.

How are we tackling unemployment? How Did We Respond?

In danger of becoming an entrenched problem, tackling such a complex issue was beyond the scope of any single sector. A ‘one-size fits all’ employment training programme could not possibly meet the needs of the long-term unemployed, the newly unemployed and young people described as NEET (not in employment, education or training) as well as disabled people and others who have special needs. It was clear that a more ‘joined-up’ approach was needed where the talents, resources and expertise of local and central Government, education and learning institutions, employers and the voluntary sector could combine their talents to local strategies and addressing the differentiated nature of those regarded provide an integrated approach. overarching issues, and by the as NEET and the fact that their Central London Forward partnership, circumstances are often rooted in local Additional Resources providing a local insight from the City’s factors, requires local authorities and The City of London Corporation, immediately neighbouring boroughs. civil society organisations to develop as trustee of Bridge House Estates, We have concentrated on three areas locally sensitive and flexible strategies. responded by allocating further where we feel our charitable funding Among the issues facing NEETs are low resources amounting to £5.3 million can make a real difference.

Sharing the Learning How do we intend to share the learning? We are hoping to demonstrate that a fresh injection of money directed at local issues can make a real difference to the quality of support, work training and apprenticeships by providing that extra dimension that meets the specific needs of the individual. The Youth Offer will be carefully evaluated so that we can look at the advantages and disadvantages of a locally tailored approach to NEETs issues as compared to national and regional programmes. Learning about what works well or less well is critically important to shaping future practice and building up an evidence base. The collaborative partnership framework will also be examined. Employability Partnership What Was The Offer? ‘Employability’ is having the capability The £3.2 million initiative invited to gain initial employment, maintain London’s 32 local authorities to apply employment and obtain new for a grant of up to £100,000 which employment if required.

Consisting of three strands this initiative is targeted at eight London boroughs, six of which are part of the Central London Forward Partnership plus Tower Hamlets and Hackney which have some of the highest deprivation levels in the country. Page Listening City Bridge Trust 26 to London Annual Review 2013

Pre-employment Training Working through voluntary sector partners this training will help unemployed people develop the so-called ‘soft skills’ so important to employers. For a number of employers soft skills may be more important over the long term than occupational skills. Such soft skills include how you present yourself to an employer, communication skills, problem solving, team work and how to influence; to name but a few. Employability Passport Aimed at young people in their final two years of full-time education, ‘employability passports’ will allow students to build up a portfolio of evidence of their employability that can be used in conjunction with college, university or job applications incorporating work placements and traineeships, for instance. This strand will also build greater links between schools, colleges and businesses. Mentoring Mentoring is often defined as a professional relationship in which an experienced person, the mentor, will assist the mentee in the early stages of their new job after the unemployed period and coach, advise and build up a relationship with that individual to help them to make the transition to, and keep them in, employment. It is a different way of learning and acquiring skills important in the workplace and supporting them by providing a sounding board. City Bridge Trust Listening Page Annual Review 2013 to London 27

Facts and Figures • In Quarter 2 of 2012 approximately one in four 16-24 year olds in London were considered to be NEET. (Source Dept. of Education NEET statistics) • In March 2012 there were 5,053,000 jobs in London. Ninety one per cent of these jobs were in service sectors.

How did we respond to changing needs? Modern Day Slavery Slavery can be traced back to the earliest historical records such as the Code of Hammurabi’s part of Babylonian law, dating back to about 1772 BC. Slavery in ancient Egypt and Rome played an important role in society and the economy. What is less well known is the extent of human trafficking for profit in 21st century London. A global business and a source of large profits, there is limited public understanding and sometimes frank disbelief that slavery is thriving in very ordinary suburbs in London. The Human Trafficking Foundation Bridging Communities raises awareness of the extent of trafficking and the forms which it takes. This is an established programme These include people pressed into which recognises the value of the forced labour, child trafficking, criminal significant contribution of London’s activities such as pick pocketing, very diverse communities.
