ANNUAL REVIEW 20172018 Who we are Vision A philanthropic East End free of poverty.

Mission To drive philanthropy and charitable giving that responds to community needs and aspirations in East London, both now and in the future.

Bringing you closer to the... challenges facts people outcomes Welcome

For the past six years at EECF, every year has been our most successful. This is an achievement we are extremely proud of, but the past 12 months have been particularly successful for several reasons. Firstly, we invested more money in the community than ever before, achieving our £1m target. We also won a national award for best practice in grant-making and we achieved exemplar status in the quality accreditation kitemark that UK community foundations are required to work towards. As a direct consequence of our increased investment in the East End last year, the impact we have achieved is greater than ever, with over 14,000 Howard Dawber residents directly benefiting from our support and almost 400 accessing meaningful employment. More impressive is the impact we have on Chairman people, as it can be life changing for some. A young person accessing an EECF-funded employment programme, and an example of the people we are helping, said “I joined the project as I really wanted to get into work. I’d spent so much time caring for my mum, who has mental health issues, and I needed help to get there. I feel like I’ve been re-awakened, I’ve learnt new skills and feel more positive. I’m now earning real money and feel positive, despite the challenges I may face.” These are the local people we are supporting, and there is so much more to do. These impressive achievements would not have been possible without the support of EECF’s trustees and the dedication and expertise of the staff, who are fantastic. As we enter 2018/19 we face a potentially challenging year in terms of the financial markets but with donor relationships flourishing as they see the benefit of their investment through us, and our locally elected Mayors all now in place, I am confident in being able to continue our ‘best year yet’ trend.

The thing I love most about working for EECF is knowing that we have our finger on the pulse and our efforts make a genuine difference to those experiencing hardship. Our role as a grant maker, adviser and co-ordinator of social change means that our work is wide ranging, as you will see throughout this report. By investing EECF’s own resources and co-ordinating the generous donations of others, the amazing £1m awarded in grants was a collective achievement, and one that we could not have realised working on our own. This is a great accomplishment and something I anticipate being an ongoing trend for EECF and its donors. Tracey Walsh But success will not see us resting on our laurels as there is still so much Chief Executive to achieve. We will continue to strengthen our existing relationships and seek new partners who are committed to reducing inequality locally.

Samia, who is on the autistic spectrum, amazed us by getting to the top of the high ropes course this year. She has always been very frightened of pushing herself physically but tackled this, which was really emotive for our staff that have worked so hard with her.” The continuation of the London Dock Community Fund has provided a level of sustainability to local organisations and has enabled the summer projects to further develop their services and reach more children and young people. Over 400 hours of community activity were funded, reaching more than 800 local residents last year alone.
