SFRS/Anthony Nolan Report OFFICIAL SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE The Board of Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Report No: B/FCS/26-20 Agenda Item: 19 Report to: THE BOARD OF SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE Meeting Date: 17 DECEMBER 2020 SFRS/ANTHONY NOLAN PARTNERSHIP – ANNUAL REPORT – ACADEMIC Report Title: YEAR 2019/20 Board/Committee Meetings ONLY For Reports to be held in Private Report Specify rationale below referring to For Information Only Classification: Board Standing Order 9 A B C D E F G 1 Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to provide the Board with an overview of the achievements of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS)/Anthony Nolan Partnership during the 2019/20 Academic Year, details of which are contained within Appendix A (Annual Report). 2 Background 2.1 The change of age criteria in 2012 signalled a change in focus for the Partnership and the beginning of the donor recruitment schools programme. This change in strategy provided the Partnership with an opportunity to engage a captive audience in a very structured environment and add greater quality to the register due to the age of school pupils being recruited. 2.2 It was the vision of the Partnership that it should be about more than just recruiting pupils onto the register. The schools programme events have been designed in a way that encourages greater involvement from pupils and allows them to take ownership, demonstrate leadership and put their own `stamp` on events. It shows pupils the significant impact they can have on the lives of others through active citizenship, personal commitment and a simple selfless act. 2.3 Partnership volunteers go into secondary schools across Scotland to deliver inspiring educational presentations to 16 to 18-year olds about stem cell, blood and organ donation. The focus is on the potentially lifesaving impact that young people can have through positive citizenship, which is in line with the aims of the Curriculum for Excellence. The events provide a positive environment for the SFRS to engage with young people and to demonstrate their commitment to supporting their local communities. 2.4 The Partnership were keen to use this process to deliver ‘additional value’ to both the schools and pupils and therefore have designed an innovative process that encourages peer involvement using some of the young people as ‘SFRS Champions’. These ‘Champions’ support the programme through helping deliver the message to their fellow pupils, booking people in for the recruitment event and even staffing the welcome desk. 2.5 This increases the feeling of ownership and gives a real opportunity for those involved to develop confidence and to see first-hand the impact they can have regardless of academic abilities or socio-economic background. SFRSBoard/Report/ Page 1 of 4 Version 1.0: 06/10/2020 AnthonyNolanPartnershipAnnualReport OFFICIAL 3 Main Report 3.1 Despite having the 2019/20 academic year cut short by almost 4 months due to Covid19 it has been another record breaking year for the partnership. With almost 3,800 donors recruited, SFRS have now added over 18,000 potential lifesavers to the Anthony Nolan register giving countless families the gift of hope. This has resulted in 72 of those recruited actually going on to donate their stem cells and give someone with blood cancer a second chance of life. 3.2 SFRS continue to lead the way in terms of school engagement. The student champions model of involving young people and affording them ownership of school events, is something Anthony Nolan see as the Gold Standard for stem cell education and something they aspire to replicate across their work. 3.3 Appendix A (Annual Report) highlights the achievements of the SFRS/Anthony Nolan Partnership during the academic year, 1 August 2019 to 31 July 2020. 3.4 The main highlights from the report are, • A record breaking 3,765 new donors recruited onto the register. • 18 lifesaving stem cell donations made. • Over 13,000 pupils engaged with. • Average of 57 donors recruited per event (compared to 37 Anthony Nolan average). • Fundraising of £9,654. • Improvements in all areas of quality performance. 3.5 The table above illustrates the year on year growth of the partnership. 4 Recommendation 4.1 The Board are asked to note the content of the SFRS/Anthony Partnership Annual Report and recognise the work of the partnership volunteers during the 2019/20 academic year. 5 Key Strategic Implications 5.1 Financial 5.1.1 Not Applicable SFRSBoard/Report/ Page 2 of 4 Version 1.0: 06/10/2020 AnthonyNolanPartnershipAnnualReport OFFICIAL 5.2 Environmental & Sustainability 5.2.1 All event supplies are delivered and picked up by Anthony Nolan pre- and post-event, and those resources not required are re-used at further events. 5.3 Workforce 5.3.1 A key point that should be emphasised is that SFRS volunteers involved do so in their own time or as additional voluntary work to their existing duties. The Partnership has three Vice Chairs, one per SDA area and 26 Tactical Leads who oversee the volunteer groups within their area. Volunteer numbers fluctuate throughout the year, however on average there are approximately 10 volunteers per area group. 5.4 Health & Safety 5.4.1 Anthony Nolan risk assessments are completed for every donor recruitment event by SFRS Tactical Leads in conjunction with schools. These risk assessments are submitted to Anthony Nolan prior to any event. 5.5 Training 5.5.1 Anthony Nolan has already provided SFRS Partnership Tactical Leads with full training in running a recruitment event in accordance with Anthony Nolan’s rules and guidelines. Anthony Nolan will provide further training and materials as required should there be any change to process. 5.6 Timing 5.6.1 SFRS/Anthony Nolan Annual Report will be produced on a yearly basis covering academic years. 5.7 Performance 5.7.1 Annual Report will be submitted to Affiliated Organisations Board on a yearly basis and shared with all Partnership volunteers. 5.8 Communications & Engagement 5.8.1 The Annual Report will be hosted on the SFRS/Anthony Nolan Partnership SFRS IHub page 5.9 Legal 5.9.1 Formal Partnership Agreement between SFRS and Anthony Nolan was renewed in October 2019. 5.10 Information Governance 5.10.1 Not Applicable 5.11 Risk 5.11.1 Not Applicable 5.12 Equalities 5.12.1 Not Applicable 5.13 Service Delivery 5.13.1 Not Applicable 6 Core Brief 6.1 The Director of Finance and Contractual Services presents this report outlining the achievements of the SFRS/Anthony Nolan Partnership during the 2019/20 academic year.

With almost 3,800 donors recruited in the 2019/20 academic year, SFRS have now added over 18,000 potential lifesavers to the Anthony Nolan register giving countless families the gift of hope. SFRS continue to lead the way in terms of school engagement. The student champions model of involving young people and affording them ownership of school events is one we aspire to replicate across our work. This year marked the 10 year anniversary of Ally Boyle’s incredible vision and as the partnership continues to grow, not only do we see more quality young donors signing up to save lives, we also see Anthony Nolan’s brand awareness and support across Scotland grow. Thank you SFRS and here’s to another 10 years. Terence Lovell Chief Engagement and Marketing Officer Registered charity no 803716/ SC03882 Year on year comparison • 2019/20 saw an increase of 2314 students educated and 506 donors added to the register compared to the previous year. • This is despite almost 4 months of inactivity due to Covid-19 and the postponement of 13 booked school recruitment events (with many more in the pipeline) • Marked improvements to already high levels of quality assurance in the recruitment process. We saw a reduction in both the number of applications rejected and also in applications with missing details. This is particularly impressive in light of the increase in delivery. • Increases in recruitment of both young donors (16-23) and males donors (44%) , both of which are priority groups for development of the register and improve chances for patients. SUMMARY 3765 new donors 65 recruitment events 18 donations giving recruited to the register ran across Scotland (3 patients their lifesaving (increase from last year) more

  • Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 - 2021 01 Chairman's Report It has been a year dominated by the impact of Covid-19 and while this has had a devastating impact on our Learning Hubs and face-to-face tutoring it has created opportunities for the organisation to develop different approaches to almost everything we do. Not only have we developed our online tutoring offering, we have also introduced new recruitment, tutor training and support procedures that have proved to be much more effective than our previous classroom-based sessions. One thing is clear, when the Covid-19 pandemic recedes, as I am sure it will, we will be in a position to offer a new range of tutoring and support based online as well as our traditional one-to-one face-to- face. In January 2021 the Board approved our “Framework for Expansion” setting out how the organisation can develop throughout Scotland. As a result, we have now expanded outside the Glasgow area and have pilot projects in Inverclyde, Edinburgh and Perth & Kinross. In parallel with these innovations has been a developing staff structure designed to be capable of responding to the requirements of a growing organisation. One innovation has been the creation of a Digital Coordinator post. The key function of this post is to have a core of expertise covering the many software packages we now use so that staff are not constantly re-learning skills and techniques from scratch. I would like to welcome Lewis Gavin who has been promoted to the post from being a Learning Communities Coordinator.

  • Education Portfolio BAM CONSTRUCTION Schools Design & Build Experience
    BAM Construction Scotland Education Portfolio BAM CONSTRUCTION Schools Design & Build Experience BAM Construction have been building in the UK since 1874. Schools, hospitals, university departments, hotels, laboratories, offices, cultural venues and museums… from the iconic to the purely functional. We’re always focused on delivering locally, while able to draw on international expertise, resources and economies of scale. In Scotland, we’ve constructed some exemplary buildings in recent years - from the stunning V&A Museum on the waterfront in Dundee to the iconic Riverside Transport Museum in Glasgow. BAM developed the SFT Pathfinder Schools exemplars at Lasswade and Eastwood in 2013 and programmes of several new schools for East Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire before delivering “Building Fife’s Future” new schools initiative. We recently completed three outstanding Primaries, two for Glasgow and another for East Renfrewshire, and our Waid Community Campus project in Fife won the Education Project of the Year award in 2018. Last year we completed the outstanding Jedburgh Intergenerational Community Campus for Borders Council and we are currently finishing the new Madras High School in St Andrews on programme despite delays due to Covid. Our credentials for quality design and build projects in the Schools sector, delivered on time and on budget, are therefore exemplary. BAM: Building a sustainable tomorrow Primary School Experience MAIDENHILL PRIMARY SCHOOL East Renfrewshire Council, 2019: £13m Project Description Completed in the Summer of 2019, Maidenhill Primary School is located within a green field site owned by East Renfrewshire Council that forms part of the wider Maidenhill housing development master plan The school provides a two-stream non-denominational primary school for 444 pupils, together with a nursery for 120 children.
