WELCOME

Tracey WalshChief Executive

Howard DawberChairman

From our largest investment in alleviating poverty, to hosting Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England on his mission to better understand financial hardship in the East End, it has been another productive year for us.

As a grant maker and community investment adviser, it is our mission to alleviate poverty in the East End. We are committed to maximising investment and outcomes for both donors and the community and know that only by working together will we achieve lasting change. Tackling social inequality is complex. It requires knowledge, experience and passion, and although these are qualities I am proud to say EECF has in abundance, the essential financial investment required to effectively address the extremely high levels of social need remains the East End’s greatest challenge.

Thankfully, many people and businesses here are thriving, and although we would not question their generosity, it seems ‘local’ often plays second best to ‘national’ when it comes to charitable giving. The brand awareness those big charities possess means they are instantly recognisable and donors don’t have to think twice when asked for support. But those people experiencing hardship are more likely to access local providers who struggle to grab your attention, often led by local heroes working tirelessly to address inequality. These are the initiatives EECF helps.

Alleviating poverty on our doorstep seems obvious but it’s not happening as much as it should, so EECF will be working harder to champion local giving and we would love for you to join us.

Last year I talked about EECF’s drive to continue its ‘best year yet’ trend and I am delighted to say we have achieved it once again.

Over the past 12 months we awarded £1,055,363, resulting in 4,222 quality activities and initiatives being delivered that benefited more than 19,000 residents from all sections of the community. Specifically, our investment at grassroot level resulted in 535 people securing employment, 1,100 gaining qualifications and 757 reporting feeling healthier and happier.

Each and every fund holder, donor and partner should be proud of their involvement during the year. The positive impact of our grant making is the result of a collective approach to tackling poverty and inequality that would not have been achieved had we all worked independently. A combination of high levels of social need and grant programmes that are always heavily over-subscribed further highlights the necessity for a co-ordinated approach if we are to see positive, meaningful change for those experiencing hardship.

I also extend the charity’s thanks to recently retired trustees Zena Cooke, Praveen Joynathsing and Gay Harrington. Particular gratitude goes to Gay, who served as the Chair of our Grants Committee and brought considerable experience and commitment to EECF’s purpose and mission.

As EECF approaches a milestone anniversary, having been established for almost 30 years, we look forward to working with more donors and promoting the benefits for local giving to increase the chances of equality for all.

WHO WE AREVisionA 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.

I just wanted to let you know that the visit was an astounding success. Some of the residents were visibly moved and emotional over the surprise visit. Please extend my thanks to the donors and to your colleague for their time and effort; it clearly made a big difference to some of the residents. Coopers Court Retirement Home

For most of us it seems unimaginable not to have regular human contact. Unfortunately, feeling isolated and cut off is a common experience of many older people living locally.

EECF has always funded elders’ provision including advice services, luncheon clubs and social activities but we felt we should be able to harness the growing employee population to go one step further.

For 10 years EECF has been working with a wide range of companies to offer a food bag and much-needed company to vulnerable elders who are experiencing isolation and poverty. Last year 935 older people benefited from this exciting and worthwhile initiative.

Each year the scheme grows, planning starts earlier and more people are involved.

WORKING TOGETHER

Errol’s storyAfter being diagnosed with dementia, widower Errol struggled to get out regularly and began suffering with anxiety and depression. His only contact with the outside world was his shopping delivery once a week.

Through his GP, Errol was referred to a weekly lunch club and the project supported him with transport to make sure he could make the weekly sessions. Whilst at the club he began to talk more

about his health and how he was finding it difficult to cope without his wife. The project worker was able to help him review his care and signpost him to other support services to help him cope better at home.

Errol is now thriving and meets others socially several times a week.

Isolation

Loneliness and social isolation are considered to be as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day

Thank you for my lovely food bag. It was such a surprise and so nice to have a chat. Mary, 87

I was worried about doing the programme at first because I am not very good at talking in front of people and I didn’t know what they would ask me about. I felt better as each week happened and I made some friends with the girls in my group. Now we are helping each other and the project facilitator has helped us join a dance group. Laura, 17 Young people’s positive change therapy programme beneficiary

From poor English language skills to domestic violence, the range of issues stopping women living their best life are vast. The wide range of funding requests that we receive seeking to address these matters are too. We were therefore delighted to be asked to manage the East End allocation of the Home Office’s newly established national Tampon Tax Community Fund.

Targeted at grassroots, women-led organisations, the East End benefited from funding totalling £106,659 which was awarded to 14 local charitable organisations. As you will read in Joanne’s story, beneficiaries can be extremely vulnerable and experience multiple, complex issues. They often require significant time and support to enable them to thrive/reach their full potential.

Having funded a number of exciting and positive initiatives in 2018/19 we are delighted that the Fund will continue with a further round in late 2019.

Joanne’s storyJoanne, 17, had a history of school exclusion and offending behaviour including supply of drugs and robbery. She started using drugs at the age of just 12 whilst in care. She was associated with negative peer groups and engaging in inappropriate relationships.

When Joanne was first approached about completing the programme she was sceptical and apprehensive about accepting help and this often displayed as aggression. Under the surface, however she appeared frightened and isolated with little hope that her life could be any different. During the first sessions it became clear that Joanne had extremely low self-esteem and didn’t feel at all hopeful for her future.

At one point she commented “I know I won’t have a good life or a proper job or anything”. Although she was willing to engage in the programme by listening to others and completing set tasks, she became anxious any time the attention was solely focused on her experiences or opinions. As the programme continued she grew in self-confidence and began to see she could have some opportunities.

She has been helped to secure a voluntary placement with an arts and exhibition centre which turned into full-time employment. On a client feedback form taken at the end of the programme Joanne stated: “I was scared at first but after a few sessions I opened up and it really helped me to feel better and maybe my life can be better.”

BRINGING YOU CLOSERWorking to get the best results for the community and donors is our raison d’etre. It’s at the forefront when we assess every grant application and when we work with every donor.

We work with a range of donors and, for those looking to pool their investment in the community, the Philanthropy Club is the perfect model.

Our band of individuals, dedicated to supporting the local community, pool their donations to achieve greater impact. In 2018 the Club supported nine local organisations, and this enabled them to collectively meet a broad range of local needs and initiatives. Grants from the Club ranged from £200 to £13,000, with a total beneficiary reach of 2,192 people across a broad range of initiatives including watersports, boxing, employment training, dance tuition and theatre trips.

Limehouse Boxing AcademyFor the past four years Limehouse Boxing Academy has taken young aspiring boxers around the country to compete. Undertaking an average of 50 trips a year to learning events and competitions, often by public transport, this was proving particularly expensive, time consuming and logistically challenging.

To continue to engage young people and offer the chances to compete and gain exposure to different parts of the UK it became essential for the Academy to have their own transport. The EECF Philanthropy Club was happy to step in and help with a £10,000 grant.

This has now simplified journeys and has given these young sports people an opportunity to venture out of Tower Hamlets, experience others part of the UK and to realise their potential in the sport. Travelling with the boxers gives the coaches and trainers an opportunity to boost confidence and self-esteem and provide them with the varied competition that they need to progress.

WORKING TOGETHERPhilanthropy Club

Thank you for everything you have all done for me. You have honestly changed my life and helped me in many ways. Before meeting you I honestly had no hope in this life or from anyone, but meeting you felt like a blessing to me... You truly are an inspiration, changing people’s lives for the better.

The funding received from EECF plays a major part in enabling us to continue to offer valuable services for local people.Mudchute

The EECF is one of the most pro-active grant funders we’ve worked with. It’s fantastic that we’ve been able to access support beyond funding…whether it’s volunteer support from EECF’s partners, or being able to network with some of EECF’s donors and supporters.CrackedIt

The office at EECF is always a pleasure to deal with, and the grants application process is more user friendly than most, which is really helpful for a small organisation like ours. African Health Policy Network

We are grateful to EECF that they always support our events which helps us to continue our activities for the local Bangladeshi community.Isle of Dogs Bangladeshi Association

We particularly appreciated the visit of so many important people from your investor group. We think this link is really important and our young leaders were amazed that these people gave up their time to come and visit and meet people here at BV. It made a big impression. West Silvertown Foundation

Your support is always welcome and we could not run as we do without it. Your application process is very easy, your communications clear and your processes user friendly. Thank you for all your help. 31 Squadron, TH Air Cadets

Community Foundations are vital contributors to building social capital. They also play a vital role by providing a platform that enables individuals and firms to invest in their communities. Community Foundations are helping to deliver a more inclusive capitalism, one in which individual virtue and collective prosperity can flourish.
