ANNUAL REVIEW Is to reduce youth re-offending through the delivery of a 7-step innovative programme focusing on those in prison, those at risk of going to prison and children caught up in knife crime. You are all helping us to achieve this in so many ways. We have now completed 7 amazing years IF IT with extraordinary results, helping over 400 young men and up to 2000 children. None of this would have happened without the invaluable support of our mentors, companies, funders, partners, trustees and the incredible Key4Life team.

The 3-day work taster is part of the 7 step model and is probably the most important step to prepare young men for employment. Multiple work tasters were completed in London and the South West with a wide variety of companies from different sectors including Finance, TV and Media, the Construction Industry, IT, Hospitality and many others. Many of our young men were employed by the company following their work taster or having had that OUR experience were able to find employment in another industry. WORK TASTER STORIES Sean arrived on the Key4life At Risk programme in Bristol with a drug charge. He struggled with anger issues and had very low self-esteem and confidence. He engaged whole heartedly with the programme and is completely transformed. He attended several work tasters including with an estate agent and working with Cabot Circus. Sean is now a trainee manager with Bouygues, he says “I found the 7am start hard to get used to but I have loved the chance to learn about the different areas of construction. I want to use my brain and actually do something positive.” Nick Austen, Project Manager on the Bouygues Castle Point Development in Bristol says: “I’m so pleased with him, people stop and talk to him, he’s a popular MENTORSThis innovative and unique part of our programme is the cornerstone of the Key4Life model.

We can’t thank you enough. Jay 08 09 WHAT OUR NATIONAL PARTNERS DO? Companies play a central role in supporting Key4Life and the young men, whilst at the same time often developing the skills of their own staff too. The relationship can take on many forms as highlighted below: KPMG is in its second year of a national partnership with Key4Life providing training for mentors and impact coaches. Its impact coaches have been invaluable delivering employability training in the prisons which the young men have found enormously beneficial in helping them into employment. ‘’ THIS IS HANDS DOWN PROBABLY THE MOST ENGAGING TRAINING I’VE EXPERIENCED WITH KPMG!’’ St James has been a huge supporter and is one of our key corporate partners. The company has hosted two football KPMG employee fundraising events raising substantial sums to support our work and has also offered placements, along with permanent employment to one of our At Risk participants. ‘’ THIS WAS AMAZING AND INSPIRING TO SAY THE LEAST!’’ KPMG employee ‘’ THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU’VE PROVIDED US WITH SO MUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT. THANK YOU ALSO FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE DONE FOR ALL THE YOUNG LIVES YOU’VE CHANGED As national partners of Key4life, these companies have given us extensive support, providing mentors, hosting our mentor FOR THE BETTER.’’ training workshops and support meetings as well as offering work placements and employment for many of our young men. KPMG employee We and our young men are indebted to them for their continued support. 10 11 OUR HIGHLIGHTS GALA EVENING AT GRAY’S INN In May we celebrated seven years of incredible achievements, supporting young men break the cycle of crime and gain sustained employment, with a very special fundraising evening hosted by Alex Beresford, ITV. Multiple Grammy-winning musical genius Nile Rodgers & Chic, lit up the stage in a special performance, playing feel-good classics like ‘We are Family’ and ‘Le Freak’. The event not only raised over £100k – crucial funds for our work, but also provided a platform for the official launch of the YOUNITED Flag Campaign. YOUNITED FLAG CAMPAIGN The YOUNITED flag campaign is a movement and a call to action to businesses of all sizes in the UK to offer employment to young people with an offending background. Companies who employ offenders will receive the YOUNITED flag kitemark. David Gauke, former Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, added his weight to the campaign saying: “It’s a pleasure to support Key4Life and the YOUNITED campaign. I’m a firm believer in the power of work to change people’s lives. Work can provide dignity and purpose as well as the money to pay bills and support family life.

    Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities

    Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities Introduction This guide addresses examining tax exempt organization fundraising and provides: Background information Audit guidelines Audit techniques Audit procedures This guide is not all-inclusive and doesn’t intend to limit agents to identifying issues or using techniques not listed in this guide. For information on fundraising issues involving political organizations, see the Audit Technique Guide for Political Organizations. For information on fundraising issues involving gaming activities, see the Audit Technique Guide for Organizations Conducting Gaming Activities. This manual is organized into five sections: Background information Activities (professional fundraisers, fundraising events, internet fundraising) Records (solicitations, disclosures, cash contributions, non-cash contributions) Reporting (Form 990-EZ, Form 990: Core Return, Schedule G, Schedule M, Form 990-PF, Form 990-T) Audit procedures (pre-audit, field/OCEP, penalty considerations, case closing) Background Most, if not all, tax exempt organizations need money. Many exempt purposes can only be achieved via the application of money. Thus, large numbers of organizations devote significant resources to acquiring money. These organizations use various methods to obtain funds, ranging from selling a product or service, conducting a fundraising event, to just asking for money. Traditional methods of obtaining funds include soliciting donors via the mail, phone calls, newspapers, radio, television, and now via the Internet. Organizations have become creative over the years, conducting activities and events, such as the sales of foodstuffs, car washes, raffles, casino nights, auctions, and pledge drives, evolving towards more sophisticated ways to fundraise, such as targeting solicitations, using patronage levels, crowd-funding, and tax planning, such as conservation easements, lending arrangements, and charitable gift annuities.

Well to any of you who did the Marathon and I know a couple did then congratulations to you all. Also Retained clients and RoAPT clients received a Special offer and a CODE to use please use this prior to the 2nd of May. This week going out to 3,675 organisations and people in the Industry, many people ask why this number changes - well we have people leave and join each week and of course some companies buy out other companies or people leave companies. This week’s Bids Grants and Funds has some 38 Pages. Current apprenticeship frameworks in Health and Social Care and in Care Leadership and Management will be withdrawn by Skills for Care and Development on 29 December 2017. In-line with government changes, the planned closure comes after the approval of the new employer-led apprenticeship standards at levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Level 2 and 3 are already open for registration and level 4 and 5 are anticipated in the very near future. This means that no one will be able to start an apprenticeship on the framework after the end of this calendar year, and all apprentices starting after that date will do so through the new standards. The world of Training and Development has been turned upside down this however is sometimes a perfect time to take advantage. We have run Peer Meet Ups for some time and indeed we have our next one scheduled for Birmingham on Thursday the 25th of May.

    The Scope and Activities of 501(C)(3) Supporting Organizations by Thomas H

    The Scope and Activities of 501(c)(3) Supporting Organizations By Thomas H. Pollak and Jonathan D. Durnford National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute May 31, 2005 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Supporting organizations provide a broad array of services, including grants and other financial benefits, to the organizations they support. This study found that nearly 92 percent of the large supporting organizations with no apparent grants in our sample did, in fact, provide significant financial services and benefits to their supported organizations. Complex business and legal reasons similar to those found in the for-profit world appear to lie behind the activities of most of these organizations. OVERVIEW In section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, Congress established a category of public charities commonly referred to as “supporting organizations” that are operated “exclusively for the benefit of, to perform the functions of, or to carry out the purposes of one or more [public charities].” The implementing regulations written by the Treasury Department are extensive. They include numerous definitions and examples and span more than eight pages of small type in a popular version of federal tax regulations. (See I.R.C. § 1.509(a)-4 in RIA Federal Tax Regulations.) The law and its corresponding regulations give broad latitude to the types of support that such organizations may provide to their supported organizations. Supporting organizations are grouped by statute into three types, conveniently called Types I, II, and III. Types I and II are closely controlled by their supported organization or organizations. Type I supporting organizations are “operated, supervised or controlled by” their “parent” supported organizations.
