Impact Report 2011/12The Octavia Foundation 0302

We’ve had an incredible year...What we did inWelcome to the Octavia Foundation’s Impact Report for 2011-2012.

London was always going to be an exciting place to be in 2011-12. Events like the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee mean that

the last 12 months will be remembered as a ‘good year’ for many years to come.

Here at the Octavia Foundation, we’ve also had a very special year. We’ve delivered some fantastic projects and initiatives which have impacted over 920 individuals throughout the local community – that’s more than ever before.

Our work hasn’t just increased in scale; in June 2011 when we commissioned research from the University of Manchester, they concluded that our work is empowering, its impact is life-changing and is wholly motivated by the needs and aspirations of local individuals and communities.

Significantly, 2012 also marks the 100th anniversary of the death of our namesake, Octavia Hill. More than 150 years after Octavia started her work with the poor of London, we think that her ideas are still relevant and they influence all of our work in the community. It is a great honour to commemorate the centenary of her death by working to continue her legacy.

This Impact Report can include only a snapshot of all that has been achieved in the last 12 months, but I hope that it gives you a good insight into the range of diverse services and projects that we have delivered.

This progress, and the impact that we have to local individuals and communities is possible only with your support. The kindness and generosity of our volunteers, supporters, funders and friends allows our work to be possible. We are very grateful to you all, thank you!

Whatever your relationship with the Octavia Foundation today, whether you are a current or potential supporter, someone who benefits from our work, or someone who’d like to get involved, I hope that you find our achievements over the last 12 months to be inspiring and encouraging.

We’ve had an incredible year...

We’ve had a very busy 12 months. In 2011-12 our work directly benefitted 921 people - that’s almost 200 more than in the previous year!

Our work with older and vulnerable people

Efi & Shawgi

We provided a free gardening service for 37 older or vulnerable tenants, partnering with Age UK’s Garden Guardians. Some needed help to trim a hedge; others had entire gardens cleared. In each instance, our support made a big difference and allowed residents to enjoy their gardens more!

We also fund a handyman service for older tenants; 290 residents benefitted from the service this year. Like the Garden Guardians service, the level of support varies enormously. For some residents we changed a light bulb that was just out of reach, for others we helped to move heavy furniture.

We help to fund Octavia Housing’s lunch clubs for older people in Kensington and Chelsea. In 2011-12 we gave £60,000 which funded the service to deliver around 16,575 hot lunches to vulnerable local residents.

We were awarded a contract from Westminster Council to provide outreach and befriending services in August 2011. Our befriending service offers emotional support to older people in the borough. So far, we’ve exceeded all targets set for the service and matched 80 local people with volunteer befrienders who visit them every week. We’ve received excellent feedback and it’s clear that the programme has impacted our volunteers just as significantly as the beneficiaries.

Before the current contract, we delivered a befriending programme in Westminster funded by the NHS. At the project’s close in June 2011, we had helped 39 people, exceeding our target of 35.

Efi has been visiting Shawgi for 12 months.

We also organise annual events, like our Christmas party for older residents in Kensington and Chelsea. This year we welcomed 80 older people for an afternoon of entertainment and celebrations, including music, carols and bingo. For some of our guests, our party is the only opportunity they have to celebrate Christmas and everyone receives a hamper of goodies.

The party was lovely, I enjoyed the raffle most because I won! I enjoyed the bingo which was exciting and the game, the food and the atmosphere!

Mrs Mullock

“I feel I’m not volunteering anymore, it’s more than that – we have a real friendship and my visits are part of my life. I find it rewarding for many reasons, mainly the friendship, I’m very lucky because Shawgi is great.

I feel I’m helping people and it makes me feel better about myself. I feel that they really care about me as well, as

though I‘m part of their family.’ Efi ‘Efi’s given me lots of help and support, she takes me out in my wheelchair and is great company, and has broken my feeling of isolation. I enjoy her company and our discussions - we both share interests in politics and current affairs. Her visits inspire me and made me feel much happier!”

Our work with older and vulnerable people is highly practical and also addresses social and emotional needs. Whether we help someone to change a light bulb or by arranging weekly visits from a new friend, we know that our work has a big impact and helps people to remain independent and involved in their local community.

Our work with young people and childrenThis year we were able to extend our youth work and opened a permanent centre to provide activities throughout the year, in addition to specific projects. We worked with over 130 young people in 2011/12.

We also fund a Saturday morning five-a-side football club in Wembley for up to 15 young people, delivered by Solidarity Sports.

Activities take place three times a week at BASE in Pimlico, our new centre for young people. On Mondays and Thursdays, our youth workers and volunteers work with young people aged 13+ and on Tuesdays, we welcome children aged 6 - 12.

Sessions are free and include a healthy, hot meal and travel expenses are reimbursed. Activities to date have included art and music workshops, debates and homework clubs, but our emphasis is on meeting our young people’s interests; we encourage them to develop and suggest ideas for BASE throughout the year.

Over 80% of our attendees live within ten minutes of the venue in the Churchill Ward, an area that suffers from high levels of unemployment, crime and deprivation.

We encourage our attendees to immerse themselves in creative activities and to channel their energy into positive, fulfilling projects.

BASE

We partnered with Nu Century Arts to produce a documentary film about the story of Black Theatre in Britain. 16 of our young people took part in the project (between April 2011 and March 2012) and were involved at every stage of production, developing their skills in media, research and film-making.

The film premiered in May 2012 and was screened across London and Birmingham, to high acclaim. The project also helped to develop our young film-makers’ confidence and presentation skills; many were interviewed as part of the promotions for the film.

I really enjoyed the project because I learnt lots of new things! I furthered my knowledge with the camera and knowing what it is you need to create interesting footage to keep the audience engaged.

We funded a week’s tennis coaching (delivered by Solidarity Sports) at Campden Hill Tennis Club for 20 kids aged seven - 11. The programme was free and included a healthy lunch for each child.

The tennis club was a huge success, introducing local children, (many from disadvantaged backgrounds), to a new sport. Throughout the week the children’s confidence, balance and coordination also improved.

Weekly football club

Our Culture Club allowed more than 70 young people to access and to engage with a range of local arts activities between May 2011 and March 2012.

We engaged with a diverse group of young people, many of whom were from disadvantaged backgrounds with no other access to cultural activities. Activities included trips to the Science Museum, Kensington Palace Gardens and the Royal Court theatre.

The project developed organically and was responsive to feedback from the young people who took part. We supported them to develop their creative potential and hosted a script-writing workshop, a series of debates and film-making courses at their request.

Help with jobs and trainingWith high levels of unemployment and ongoing changes to welfare reform, it’s unsurprising that we’ve experienced increased demand for our employment and training services over the past year. We expect this demand to continue and will plan to extend our provision where possible.

*To receive a copy of the report, please get in touch!

Our new employment and training programme, Future Foundations, began in January 2012. In the first six month of the project we worked with over 40 local people, eight of whom have achieved paid employment and a further 10 that are currently undertaking work placements to support and develop their employment prospects.

Our namesake, Octavia Hill believed passionately in offering people the opportunity to develop themselves and to gain skills. As part of activities to mark the centenary of her death in 2012, we are working with colleagues in Octavia Housing to launch five brand new apprenticeships in construction, retail and office services for local residents.

Each apprenticeship will last for 12 months and will give young people aged 16-24 the opportunity to develop job-specific skills in a real job and to achieve a recognised qualification whilst earning a salary.

The apprenticeships will be launched in August 2012 and we really believe they’ll allow young residents to develop their employment prospects – watch this space!

Funded by the London Councils and the European Social Fund, we were one of several organisations appointed to provide employment support to over 1000 adults in Westminster. We offered a tailored service and our employment advisor developed a relationship with every participant.

When the programme ended in November 2011, we had helped 36 people into paid work (a whopping 30% over our allocated target!) and helped 39 other people in to volunteering or work placements (50% over our allocated target!).

We commissioned a report* to look at the social return of our Westminster Works programme and conservative estimates show that for every £1 invested in the project, a return of £4.12 was identified (from savings of state benefits paid to unemployed households). That’s not to mention the huge impact we made to people’s wellbeing and happiness.

I’m a driven person but looking back I was depressed. I thought I might lose my home and was anxious. I’m back to my upbeat self now. Wray [employment advisor] changed my life.

GiseleGisele approached the Octavia Foundation in early 2012 and began work as an Assistant Trainee Nurse in July.

“When I approached the Octavia Foundation I lacked confidence, felt very nervous and needed help to write CVs and apply for jobs. I’d been a full time mum for ten years (to four young children) and I didn’t want to set a bad example to my kids.

I’d done lots of volunteering and training but being unemployed isn’t fun. I’d always wanted to work in healthcare and Wray (my employment advisor) was kind and patient and provided me with tailored advice and support.

The Octavia Foundation really helped me and I’m very grateful.”

Our work to help with money and debtWe help local people on issues surrounding money by awarding essential grants and by funding advice services. This year we extended this work to include an innovative short film and backed the ongoing development of a new credit union service.

Our support of a new credit union service for Kensington and Chelsea continues, after we funded an initial feasibility study in 2010.

An independent shadow board is now in place and an application for the credit union was submitted to the Financial Service Authority in August 2011. It received final approval in May 2012.

The trading name will be ‘Your Credit Union, Kensington & Chelsea’ and everything is on track for a launch in late 2012. We’re supporting the credit union with in-kind support and office services and have made a significant investment to help get the project off the ground.

We can’t wait to start promoting the credit union to the people we work with and know it has the potential to make a huge difference to local communities!

Your Credit Union Kensington & Chelsea

We administer hardship and education grants to Octavia residents on behalf of the ‘Friends of Octavia Housing’. 123 grants (up to a value of £400 each) were awarded this year. Grants are made for essential household items or repairs, and may include for example, a new television for a housebound older tenant or new carpets to replace damaged or old furnishings. 11 welfare and education grants were also awarded to support tenants and residents with their ongoing education.

Over £40,000 of grants were awarded this year and as with many of our services, we’ve witnessed increasing need and demand.

Welfare and education grants

We continue to fund a programme of welfare benefits and debt advice for tenants, delivered by dedicated advisors from Westminster Citizens Advice Bureau. Over 160 tenants benefitted from the service, exceeding our initial target of 150 – demonstrating a strong demand for the service.

Welfare benefits and debt advice

I’m writing to thank you for the grant enabling me to have a new cooker, after mine had been ‘condemned’. A big thanks to all, it’s comforting to know that the Octavia Foundation are concerned about the elderly who have no one else to support or care for them.

Bridging the Gaps is a short film, produced by nine young people to address concerns or confusions identified within the local community, surrounding the proposed changes to welfare and benefits.

The project began in April 2011, with funding from the Big Lottery Fund, giving young people the opportunity to learn more about benefits, budgeting and the proposed cuts. The end result was a 15 minute film that successfully addresses the proposed changes to welfare and benefits that confronts the anxieties that we identified within the local area.

The film includes interviews with a local MP, financial consultant and tenants and residents of Octavia Housing and was a great example of a community-led response to a national issue. Accompanying materials were produced and distributed along with the film to local community groups and individuals.

Bridging the Gaps

Involving the communityAll of our work encourages community involvement and helps to develop opportunities for individuals to become more involved in their local area. Our volunteering programme and the Acorns project are particular examples of activities that have developed the theme of community involvement.

Our volunteer programme is a key part of our community involvement and employment and training initiatives, and has developed significantly over the last year. We’ve more than doubled the number of people volunteering with us and have ambitious targets to continue growing our volunteer programme!

Over 200 people regularly volunteer their time to our projects, over 50% of these have volunteered with us for more than a year, despite a minimum time commitment of only six months for our volunteer roles.

In 2011-12, 89 people were registered as volunteer befrienders and a further 163 people volunteered in our charity shops. We also supported several volunteer placements in our care schemes, youth projects and within our offices.

All of our volunteers receive a full induction and ongoing training throughout the year and we provide regular social activities. In June 2012, we were awarded the ‘Good Practice Award’ by Kensington and Chelsea Volunteer Centre, in recognition of the quality of our volunteer programme and opportunities.

Raè is also a young acorn – and has been involved with the Foundation for five years. Through her participation in our media projects, she has developed an interest in film and theatre. We supported her to write a screenplay by brokering script-writing master classes and helped her with funding applications.

Raè Evelyn

KwadwoKwadwo is a mature social care student. He is a volunteer befriender and has been visiting Joseph since July 2011.

“I wanted to volunteer to help local people and my community and also to get experience working with vulnerable adults, because I want to work in social care when I graduate.

I love visiting Joseph – I see him once a week and because he’s a wheelchair user and unable to leave the house independently, we tend to go out. Normally we go to the pub for a drink and a chat – Joseph really enjoys the pub but he can’t go on his own. It’s been really humbling to learn more about him and the challenges he faces and it has made my degree much more relevant.

I can’t imagine my life without volunteering – I find it hugely rewarding.”

Moktar is a young tenant who established ‘Aspire 2 Inspire’ a fantastic youth-led social enterprise that works to empower marginalised young people in Kensington and Chelsea. We funded A2I’s website, helped to broker funding and support Moktar with office space.

In August 2011, we nominated Moktar for a London Peace Award, because of the incredible contribution he’s made to the local community. The judges agreed, and Moktar was presented with his award by Boris Johnson at City Hall in September!

Aspire 2 Inspire

We helped Sean, founder of Solidarity Sports to register the group as a charity and provided advice and initial project funding. We still work closely with Sean and assist with fundraising and development. Solidarity Sports deliver our football club and summer tennis club.

Solidarity Sports

The Acorns Project is a new initiative that recognises the role the Foundation plays in incubating and developing local individuals as future community champions. The project was identified during research undertaken by the University of Manchester in 2011 and encompasses the support and resources that we share with local individuals and groups that we believe have fantastic potential.

Fundraising and support What we raised and how we spent itWe raise money from a wide range of sources and this year, we’ve been able to increase

the amount of funding that we’ve received through external sources by £30,000.

The figures on this page are from our unaudited accounts, but they provide a good overview of our income and how we’ve spent the money.

You’ll notice that it may appear as though we spent more than we raised this year. This is because funding for some of this year’s projects was received in the previous financial year.

Our 20 charity shops across London, sell a mix of donated and brand new items to raise money for our work.

We opened a new shop in East Sheen and a temporary shop on Wandsworth Bridge Road this year and have had good sales across the year.

Our shops are staffed by a mix of paid staff and volunteers and their boundless energy and enthusiasm is a key part to our shop’s success.

Gift Aid We introduced the gift aid scheme in late 2010, allowing the shops to claim an additional 25% from the tax man, on donated items sold in our shops.

We ask supporters to ‘gift aid’ their items when they donate to our shops and so far nearly 6,000 donors have joined the scheme.

From 1 April 2011 – 31 March 2012, we were able to claim over £48,000 from HMRC at no extra cost to our customers or donors.

Our charity shops

In 2011-12 we recruited a record number of runners to complete sponsored events to support our work. In total, 12 runners raised over £16,000, having raced over 319 miles for the Octavia Foundation! Beth Cox ran six half marathons in six months for the charity, as well as the Virgin London Marathon 2011. Her challenge took in the Edinburgh, Southend, Marlow, Windsor, Portsmouth and Royal Park’s half marathons - she ran 105 miles for us in total and many more in training. Incredible!

Fundraising

Income

Support from trusts and foundations remains a key part of our fundraising strategy. This year we’ve received project-specific funding from the Big Lottery Fund and additional funding for BASE - the impact of which will be seen over the next 12 months.

Director’s conclusionsIt is really encouraging to review the progress of the Octavia Foundation during the last year and to consider the impact that our work has had to the many people that we have supported over the period.

I’m very grateful to our trustees, my colleagues and our fantastic team of volunteers for delivering such a fantastic programme of activities that have had such obvious and tangible impact throughout our local communities.

We’ve delivered and developed new services, programmes and activities, all within a challenging context – the economy is in recession and the Coalition government has embarked on a vigorous programme to reduce the UK’s budget deficit.

We know that these measures, including reforms to the welfare state and the re-shaping of public services will have wide reaching implications for many of the people that we work with, especially those who have a greater reliance on public services and welfare benefits.

Particularly, we anticipate that demand for certain services will increase, but that simultaneously, many of our current funding streams will come under strain. In order to develop our services and to extend these to as broad a population as possible we must develop our fundraising expertise and increase our voluntary income.

Our key objectives for the coming years will be to:

› Create services that help to develop a sense of empowerment amongst young people

› Extend and enhance support for older and vulnerable adults

› Deliver projects to tackle financial inclusion, digital inclusion and employment and training opportunities for Octavia Housing residents (and the broader community)

In the simplest sense, we’re proud of the incredible services and projects that we deliver and are committed to doing more, for as many people as possible.

We will certainly need help to achieve everything that we’ve set out to, and I do hope that this Impact Report will inspire and encourage you to support us.
